Ⅱ.单项填空
1．— I wonder if you could lend me some ink.
— It is a pity that mine is ________.
A．using up　　　　　　　　 B．running out
C．giving up D．putting out
解析：选B。句意：“不知你能否借给我点儿墨水？”“很遗憾我的快用完了。”use up和run out都有“用光；用尽”的意思，但物作主语时，use up要用被动语态。give up“放弃”；put out“扔掉，扑灭”，均不合题意。
2．The motorway was closed because of fog; as a result we had to find an ________ route.
A．impressive B．effective
C．aggressive D．alternative
解析：选D。alternative“替换的，供选择的”。impressive“给人印象深刻的”；effective“有效的”；aggressive“进攻的，挑衅的”。句意：由于有雾，高速公路被封闭了，我们不得不改走别的路线。根据句意可知选D。
3．None of them had expected that the middle-aged engineer died ________ his design uncompleted.
A．with B．from
C．without D．of
解析：选A。句意：他们中没有人预料到这位中年工程师没有完成他的设计就去世了。die from“因某事而死(疾病除外)”；die of“因(某种内部原因)而死”；die without用法错误，这三项均不合句意，故排除。在这里，with用了复合结构表示一种伴随状态，即“没有完成设计就去世了”。
4．Only by ________ science and technology can we make our country stronger.
A．rely on B．live on
C．relying on D．living on
解析：选C。句意：只有依靠科学技术我们才能够使我们的国家更强大。rely on“依靠，依赖”；live on“靠……生活”。by为介词，其后的动词应且-ing形式。所以选C项。
5．— What a beautiful hat! How much did it ________ you?
— It's ________. I'm very lucky to be the 1,000th customer of the shopping center.
A．charge; free of charge
B．charge; free of the charge
C．cost; free of charge
D．cost; free of the charge
解析：选C。句意：“多么漂亮的帽子啊。你花了多少钱？”“免费的。我很幸运地成为了那家购物中心的第1 000名顾客。”charge作“要价，收费”之意时，主语是人；cost意为“花费”，其主语是物。free of charge“免费”，为固定搭配。
6．The news shocked the public, ________ to great concern about students' safety at school.
A．having led B．led
C．leading D．to lead
解析：选C。句意：这个消息让大众震惊，结果引起了人们对于校园内学生安全的关注。此处为现在分词作结果状语，表示一种必然的结果。
7．Even though he knew he would put his own life ________， he still wanted to try the newly discovered herb (药草) to find out what it would feel like.
A．at a risk B．at risks
C．at the risk D．at risk
解析：选D。句意：尽管他知道他将置生命于危险中，他仍旧想尝试这种新发现的药草以便查明它像是什么。at risk“处于危险之中”，符合句意，故选D。
8．(2012·辽宁高考)The old couple often take a walk after supper in the park with their pet dog ________ them.
A．to follow B．following
C．followed D．follows
解析：选B。考查with的复合结构。with的宾语后面可加形容词、副词、分词、不定式或名词等作宾补，此处pet dog与follow构成主动关系，所以用following。不定式表示动作尚未发生，故排除A。
9．You must ________ your fear and worry if you want to take up bungee as your hobby.
A．get rid of B．put up with
C．get used to D．come up with
解析：选A。句意：如果你想把蹦极作为你的爱好，你必须消除恐惧和担心。此处要用get rid of表示“除掉”。put up with“忍受”；get used to“习惯于”；come up with“想出，提出”。
10．— It's wrong for a student to follow ________ his teachers say.
— It's true. I can't agree ________.
A．whatever; more B．no matter what; more
C．no matter what; much D．whatever; much
解析：选A。句意：“老师说什么学生就听什么是错误的。”“对的，我非常同意。”第一空为whatever引导宾语从句，no matter what只引导让步状语从句而不能引导宾语从句；I can't agree more表示“我非常同意”。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
These are some ideas that some people came up with about what the life will be like in the year 2500.
We will have established a base on the moon. School kids can take field trips to the moon weekly. We will have found cures (疗法) for AIDS and cancer. The war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land. Kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before! History will be the main subject at school. Cafeteria (自助餐厅) food will be delicious! You just walk up to a machine, stick out your tongue, and it will scan your taste buds (味蕾) to see what you want to eat.
— Kristen
Here I am in the wonderful year of 2500 and life is so easy. I work in a pet store and it is so hard! I have to wake up at midnight every day and fly my car to the store. It takes so long to get there. It takes me 20 seconds to get to the store in Mississippi from my home in Florida! At work, I have to push 5 buttons and then I go home. It takes 2 seconds and that is like forever.
— Morgan
In the year 2500, I think we will have invented cars that run on things we don't need like garbage. Tail gas will smell like whatever you like such as chocolate. I also predict that buildings will be able to go into a different dimension (维) so your car won't hit them. The cars in 2500 don't fly, for we haven't got that technology yet, but they can hover (盘旋) up to seven feet. These cars are made for speed!
— Carly
Instead of cars, we may have hovering devices that float around. We could also have electric cars instead of gas-powered cars. Food might be more healthy. What I believe is that the environment will change the most. The environmental changes will also determine many other changes. If more people try to help the environment, then perhaps in 2500 we will have more forests and wildlife. If people won't help the environment, then we will have no forests and little wildlife left.
— Roberta

1．According to Kristen, what will happen in 2500?
A．English will be the main subject at school.
B．Students can go to the moon every week.
C．Cafeteria will replace other restaurants.
D．AIDS and cancer will disappear.
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据文章中克里斯滕所说的话“School kids can take field trips to the moon weekly.”可知B项为正确答案。
2．The underlined word “scan” in the text could be replaced by “________”．
A．change B．treat
C．examine D．improve
解析：选C。词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在的句子中的“你只需要走到一台机器跟前，伸出你的舌头，然后机器就会判断出你想吃什么”可以推断出，机器通过仔细查看你的味蕾才能判断出你想吃什么。
3．Morgan thinks his work in the pet store is ________.
A．difficult B．meaningless
C．important D．easy
解析：选D。推理判断题。文章中摩根对他工作的具体描述使用的是反语，他真实的意思是“这份工作太轻松了”。他的第一句话也是对该意思的提示，故选D项。
4．Who mainly tells the reader of the cars in 2500?
A．Kristen. B．Morgan.
C．Carly. D．Roberta.
解析：选C。段落大意题。根据文章中卡力所说的那段话可知，他主要谈到的是2500年的汽车，包括汽车的燃料、废气及功能等，故选C项。
B
Over the past couple of years, humans have made great innovations (创新) in many fields that have changed the way we look at ourselves, other people, and the world around us. However, we cannot help asking ourselves, what does the future hold?
The first innovation in the future will probably be the hydrogen fuel cell (氢气燃料电池). The hydrogen fuel cell changes hydrogen into electricity with the help of air. Above all, unlike oil fuels it only produces water, not harmful greenhouse gases; it is also much more effective than oil fuels. The oxygen can be taken from the air, and hydrogen can be got from hydrogen gas stations. Fuel cells can be used to power almost anything: cars, computers, even entire homes. It is easy to use, so fuel cells are a great innovation that we can expect to see in the future.
Another useful innovation we can expect to see in the future is the Full Human Genome Sequencing (基因排定). It sounds like a science fiction story, but the truth is, it's not too far off in the future. This innovation is useful because it could allow humans to find out what diseases they might get in the future, when they will get them, and what they can do to prevent or treat the diseases. While the human genome sequencing is already possible, it is very expensive. The Full Human Genome Sequencing is still in its beginning; however, in the future we can expect to see it being used widely.
Something else that may seem like a science fiction story is humans getting to Mars. One day the earth will be overcrowded. Scientists have an idea that humans could move to Mars. Today it is impossible for people to live on Mars; however, scientists will make it possible tomorrow. We can expect to see people living on Mars within the next 50 years!
语篇解读：在过去几年里，人类创造的许多新事物已经改变了人们的世界观。那么以后还会有什么影响深远的新事物被创造出来呢？
5．This passage is mainly about some innovations that ________.
A．have changed the world around us
B．we can expect to see in the future
C．will completely change the way people live
D．have changed the way we look at ourselves
解析：选B。主旨大意题。通读全文，可知作者主要介绍了几个在未来会被发明创造出来的新事物。
6．What do we know about the hydrogen fuel cells?
A．It is hard to make use of.
B．It is very hard to produce.
C．It is environmentally friendly.
D．It can be used in just a few fields.
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第二段的“Above all, unlike oil fuels it only produces water, not harmful greenhouse gases”可知氢气燃料电池是环保型电池。
7．It is implied in the passage that the Full Human Genome Sequencing ________.
A．cannot be used to treat diseases
B．won't affect our daily life much
C．will be too expensive for people to afford
D．will be very useful in health care
解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第三段的“This innovation is useful ... treat the diseases.”可知基因排定将来在医疗保健方面会很有作用。
8．From the passage we know the human genome sequencing ________.
A．is impossible yet
B．doesn't work well
C．is only a science fiction story
D．is very expensive at present
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第三段的“While the human genome sequencing is already possible, it is very expensive.”可知应选D项。

Ⅳ.任务型阅读
Do you know how to be a street smart? Being street smart means knowing how to keep yourself safe from strangers when you're alone or with other kids.__1__
Most strangers aren't dangerous and wouldn't do anything to hurt kids. Unfortunately, though. some strangers can be dangerous, and it's impossible to tell who's ok and who's not. __2__ That's why it's important to follow these safety rules all the time：
Make your whereabouts known.
The adults who are taking care of you need to know where you are and when you'll be coming home.
__3__
It's more fun and safer to do things with friends. Traveling with a friend whenever you can is a good idea, and traveling with a group of kids is even better.
__4__
Safe spots are places where you can stop if you need help. Like the houses of kids you know, the houses of your parents' friends, police stations, libraries, and fire departments. When you're walking or riding your bike, make a mental note of the safe spots along your route. That way, you'll know where they are in case you ever need one.
__5__
You've probably been told lots of times that you should not shout and keep quiet. But when you think you might be in danger, it's the perfect time to be noisy! If a stranger gets close to you, follows you or tries to grab you, shout as loudly as you can and try to get away. People in the area will hear what's going on and help you, so make plenty of noise.
A．Stick with a friend.
B．Pick out safe spots.
C．It helps you stay safe.
D．Shout “help” when necessary.
E．Go to school with your friends.
F．Make much noise if you are in danger.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
For more than nine days, for more than 60 miles, thousands of Beijing-bound vehicles have come to an almost total stop on highways called the 6 and 110 that run from Inner Mongolia southeast to the nation's capital.
Bai Xiaolong, a 30-year-old truck driver, says it took him five days to make the 350-mile journey from Inner Mongolia to Tianjin. He spent much of that time reading, text-messaging and sleeping rather than speeding up.
“There was one day that I didn't move, not even an inch，” said Bai, an inhabitant of Jining in Inner Mongolia, a city at the western end of the traffic jam.
Chinese officials said that the congestion is mainly because of the maintenance (维护) projects that began in mid-August and are scheduled to be completed in mid-September. Trucks carrying 8 tons or more of coal or fruit have been responsible for damaging the roadway, thus making the work necessary.
Drivers who often use the route know that heavy traffic has long been a fact of life. “The problem is really that there're too many cars and trucks and not enough lanes (车道)，” Bai said. “We drivers are used to this sort of thing happening.”
The two national freeways are heavily used by trucks carrying coal from the recently opened fields of Inner Mongolia to China's coastal cities.
The seemingly endless jam began on the 6 and spread to the 110, which runs parallel (平行的), when officials sought to ease the traffic on the 6.
The Global Times, an English-language newspaper, said the jam had eased somewhat in the last two days, but inhabitants of the region say the congestion simply spilled out onto other roads.
The congestion has created an economy of its own. Vendors (小贩) sell boxed lunches, noodles and drinking water to the travelers, often at jacked-up prices. And because of the long-standing problems along the highways, dozens of small hotels have appeared, attracting drivers who need a stop to catch more serious sleep.
语篇解读：本文报道了一次严重的交通堵塞。60多英里的道路变成了停车场，足足堵了九天多的时间。
1．During the congestion, Bai Xiaolong did all the following EXCEPT ________.
A．sleeping B．text-messaging
C．speeding up D．reading
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据文章第二段的最后一句可知，在堵车的过程中，他除了睡觉、发短信，就是阅读，没有加速行驶，故选C项。
2．According to the text, the 110 was mainly damaged by ________.
A．too many cars B．bad weather
C．poor maintenance D．heavy trucks
解析：选D。细节理解题。理解文章第四段最后一句及第六段可知，导致这条国道毁坏的主要原因是那些重型卡车，故选D项。
3．The underlined word “jacked-up” in the last paragraph probably means “________”．

Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.
In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk.
At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.
The worst time to be in the street is at 11：30 pm. That is when the nightclubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.
During the day, most people travel to and from work by train. People in Tokyo buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. On Tokyo trains everybody in the seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.
In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire engines (消防车) raced to one of many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.

5．Tokyo is different from London in that ________.
A．it has a larger population
B．there are more traffic jams
C．it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot
D．nightclubs are sometimes empty
解析：选C。推理判断题。由第三段可知在东京步行比在伦敦步行要难一些。
6．Japanese trains ________.
A．often leave and arrive on time
B．are often crowded
C．are the main means people use to travel to and from work
D．all of the above

7．Where can you find everybody reading a newspaper?
A．At most London train stations.
B．At most Tokyo train stations.
C．On a Tokyo train.
D．On a London train.
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第五段中的“On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper.”可知答案是D。
8．Fires break out ________ in Tokyo according to the writer.
A．quite frequently
B．only several times a day
C．not very often
D．very seldom
解析：选A。推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Three fire engines raced to one of many fires that Tokyo has every day.”可知东京的火灾很频繁。

Doing this before the class means that you will be ready when the lesson starts
Take the classes somewhere quiet.
__2__ Trying to listen and participate(参与) in English classes is very difficult when there is noise around you. So find a quiet room and make sure that no one disturbs you while you are taking your lesson.
__3__
When grammar or anything else is being taught, make sure that you understand it. You won't need to practice it at this time; just make sure that everything is clear. If you don't understand what is being taught, ask your teacher to explain it again. Your teacher will be more than happy to deal with whatever puzzles you.
Practice speaking English.
Every class is an opportunity to practice your English speaking with a native and qualified teacher. Try to allow the conversation to flow by listening and talking in a natural way. __4__ The teacher should note the mistakes and correct them at a later time.

How do you address (称呼) people in English when you want to talk to them? The following may be some simple rules the beginners should follow.
1．When talking to strangers there is often no special form of address in English. Usually, if you want to catch the attention of a stranger, it is necessary to use a phrase as “excuse me”．
2．In British English “Sir” and “Madam” are considered to be too formal (正式的) for most situations. They are used mostly to customers (顾客) in shops or restaurants. While in American English “Sir” and “Madam” are not that formal and are commonly used between strangers, especially with old people whose names you don't know.
3．When you talk to some people you know, you can use their names. If you are friends, use their first names; if your relationship is more formal, use “Mr”， “Mrs”， “Ms”， etc. before their family names.
4．There are many other forms of address which can be used between friends and strangers. However, many of these are limited in use. For example, “pal” and “mate” can be used between strangers, but are usually only used by men talking to other men.

1．According to the passage, “excuse me” is mainly used to ________.
A．address a person you don't know
B．apologize to others

It is often argued that one of the most common differences between the British and American sense of humour is that Americans don't understand irony (反语). Simon Pegg explores this topic in depth in his article What are you laughing at? He concludes that this statement isn't true and I quite agree with him.
One of the differences seems to be how often both nations use irony. The British use irony on a daily basis, whereas Americans don't. I think Americans understand British irony; what they don't understand is the need to use it so frequently. When Americans use irony they want to state that they are “only kidding”. They feel the need to make a joke more obvious than the British do; maybe this results from a fear of offending people.
I think the differences between the British and American sense of humour arise from a cultural difference between the two. American jokes are more open, a bit like Americans themselves. British jokes, on the other hand, are more reserved (含蓄的). There is usually a hidden meaning.
Certain American comedies have gained huge success in Britain and vice versa (反之亦然). Therefore, although there are differences between both comic styles, there is still an appreciation and understanding of the other sense of humour. Both the British and American versions (版本) of the comedy The Office are hugely successful on both sides of the Atlantic. Both shows have their own cultural differences, yet they describe a lifestyle which both Americans and the British can relate to in a similar way.

5．The writer believes that ________.
A．Americans don't understand irony when communicating with the British
B．the British use irony as well as Americans do in many ways
C．there are huge differences between the British and American sense of humour
D．Americans use less irony because they don't want to offend others
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第二段可知，因为不想冒犯其他人，美国人更喜欢开直接的玩笑，而不是使用反语，故选D项。
6．According to the text, Americans have no idea ________.
A．when and how to use irony
B．where and why to use irony
C．whether it is necessary to use irony often
D．whether it is easy to understand irony
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第二段“... what they don't understand is the need to use it so frequently.”可知，美国人不理解的是是否有必要常常使用反语，故选C项。
7．What is the main cause of the differences between the British and American sense of humour?
A．Culture.
B．Lifestyle.
C．Historical development.
D．Geographical location.
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第三段首句可知选A项。
8．The comedy The Office is given as an example to show that ________.
A．American comedies have gained more success than those in Britain
B．the British and Americans can understand the same comedy of different forms
C．the same comedy can be performed totally differently in different countries
D．the differences between British and American comedies are becoming greater
解析：选B。推理判断题。分析最后一段尤其是第二句可知，尽管英美人的幽默感不同，但这并不影响他们互相欣赏和理解对方的幽默，故选B项。

A
Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, and his achievements were even greater than that of a few other great scientists. An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity (特性) of time and space and so on — but even ordinary man now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.
By 1914 young Einstein had been world-famous. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited chances for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by World War Ⅰ.
Einstein hated fighting and killing. The great suffering of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research and violin. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.
In the year following World War Ⅰ， honours were increasingly put on him. He became head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people. He was well known for his humble (谦逊的) manner. He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived.
In 1921 he won the Noble Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of the Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.
1．The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.
A．the difficulty of Einstein's thought to others
B．the feeling of an American university president towards Einstein
