答案与解析
I. 1. B 考查强调句型。句意:塑造我们的生命的东西不是我们偶尔所做的事情,而是那些我们自始至终所做的事情。被强调部分是not what we do once in a while。
2. C 考查强调句型。被强调的what引导understand的宾语从句。故选C项。
3. C 考查强调句型。句意:“你知道这事故是在哪发生的吗?”“据说是在他上班的路上。”此句型是强调句型疑问句式,where it is that...是宾语从句,作know的宾语。
4. A 表示方向性的副词out,in,up,down,away等用在句首时使用全部倒装句式,但当主语为人称代词时不用倒装。
5. C 地点状语位于句首时使用全部倒装语序,而且这种倒装一般不用进行时。
6. C 这里as引导让步状语从句,须将表语poor置于句首构成倒装。

8. B only接状语从句位于句首时,主句倒装;根据题意须用一般现在时态。

10. C 否定词never用在句首时,用倒装结构。
11. C 本题考查强调句式。此时强调部分为not until引导的时间状语,强调句型的连词用that,故选C项。
12. B So do I.意为“我也如此”。符合语境。前句谓语为实义动词feel,因此要用助动词do。
II. 1. It was not until; that 2. Hardly had; when

V. 阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2分,满分16分)
A
“How do I love thee, let me count the ways.” These words, penned by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, are some of the most widely-known love lyrics in Victorian English poetry.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning was born at Coxhoe Hall, Durham, England on March 6th, 1806. Browning was privately educated and spent much of her childhood in the country. It was a very happy childhood until Browning became seriously ill at age 15.
In 1832, Browning moved with her family to Sidmouth, Devon and then several years later to London. In 1833, Browning’s translation of Prometh- eus Bound (《被束缚的普罗米修斯》) received high praise. After moving to London, Browning began to publish her own writings. Her first collection entitled The Seraphim and Other Poems was published in 1838, and her second volume Poems was published in 1844, which included an introduction written by Edgar Allan Poe.
In 1845, Browning received a telegram from the poet Robert Browning. The telegram read “I love your verses with all my heart, dear Miss Barrett—and I love you too.” The two met several months later and fell in love. During this period Browning composed her famous Sonnets (十四行诗) from the Portuguese, which was published in 1850.
Shortly after their marriage, Elizabeth and Robert departed for Pisa, Italy and ultimately settled in Florence. In Italy, Browning regained her health and in 1849 gave birth to the couple’s only child, Robert Wiedemann Barrett. The Brownings lived in Florence in the next 15 years, with occasional visits to London. During this period, she produced her most ambitious work entitled Aurora Leigh. The poem is a love story that defends a woman’s right to intellectual freedom.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning died on June 29, 1861 in Florence. She is chiefly remembered for her love poems, although Aurora Leigh has recently received new appreciation.
1. What do we know about Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s education?
A. She received much formal education.

A. she was living in the countryside
B. she was in London
C. she was doing the translation of Prometheus Bound
D. she met her would-be husband
3. Robert Browning sent a telegram to Elizabeth Barrett Browning to _______.
A. express his love for her and her poems
B. ask her to marry him
C. give her some suggestions on writing
D. ask for a date with her
4. Elizabeth Barrett Browning is mainly remembered for _______.
A. her love with a famous poet

A sense of magic and excitement was in the air in London’s Leicester Square on Sunday as Harry Potter fans waited in the rain to greet cast members attending the premiere (首映)of the latest Potter film “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (哈利·波特与火焰杯). ” Producers describe the film—the fourth in the series about the young wizard—as the darkest production,yet it is the first of the films so far to achieve a PG12 rating,meaning under 12s should not view it without adult supervision.
Daniel Radcliffe,who plays Potter,attended the premiere Sunday evening along with other cast members including Robbie Coltrane, who plays Harry’s friend Hagrid, Michael Gambon, who stars as the kindly Albus Dumbledore, and Maggie Smith who plays Professor McGonagall.
A cheerful Radcliffe,16,professed (坦白)himself delighted to see his fans.
“If this doesn’t get you excited, then nothing will,” he told reporters. “It is a strange experience (to be mobbed). Fans are the most amazing people.”
The film tells how the young wizard, now in his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is selected to compete in the Quidditch Triwizard Tournament against older and more experienced students from rival schools. He also meets his first love interest, new character Cho Chang, played by Katie Leung.
6. Which of the following about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is TRUE?
A. It is about a competition between Harry Potter and other students at Hogwarts School of Witch- craft and Wizardry.

答案与解析
I. 1. d 2. j 3. b
4. c 5. f 6. a
7. e 8. h 9. g
10. i
II. 1. No sooner had he heard the news than he fainted.
2. He picked out the ripest peach for me.
3. These books are intended for children aged 5 to 7.
4. He spent a large amount of money on the books.
5. I am eager to know everything about that university.
III. 1. C 句意:我刚进教室就注意到校长坐在后面。no sooner…than…和hardly…when…都是固定搭配,表示“刚……就……”。所以排除了A、B、D三项,选C项。
2. A 考查名词词义辨析。句意:新闻记者在发生撞车事故后几分钟就到了出事现场。scene意为“场面,场景”,on/at the scene意为“在现场”;scenery意为“自然风景”;scare意为“害怕”;view意为“风景,景色”。根据句意可知选A项。
3. B 句意:在孩子的尸体被埋之前,战士们静静地站在那里。介词in+名词,表示状态,表示“……地”in silence表示安静地,因此选B项。
4. B picture为可数名词,所以应由修饰可数名词的量词词组来修饰,而masses of(=a mass of)既可以修饰可数名词又可以修饰不可数名词。A项中的of多余;C项不合题意;D项只修饰不可数名词。
5. B 句意:在第二次世界大战期间,我祖父在军队服了两年兵役。四个选项中,只有served有“服役”的意思,并且当这个意思讲时,是不及物动词。
6. C 句意:他们都渴望学到新的技能以便能够胜任他们相对陌生的各个领域里的工作。be eager for意为“渴望……”;be anxious about/be worried about…意为“为……感到忧虑,担心……;be delighted to do sth. 意为“很高兴去做某事”。因此选C项。
7. B 句意:因为没有达到所期望的目的,所以他们看起来很失望。clarify意为“澄清,讲清楚”;make意为“制作”;obtain意为“获得,得到”;而accomplish意为“完成,达到预期之效果”,正合句意,因此选B项。
8. A 句意:你为什么没有让他知道你病得厉害,不能继续工作这件事?bring … to one’s attention“让某人关注某事”。it在此作形式宾语,后面的that从句作真正的宾语。
9. B 句意:挂在墙上的那幅画是我儿子画的。hanging在此处是现在分词短语作后置定语的用法。
10. C 句意:我的亲戚要养活他的妻子和三个孩子。a wife and three children作后面to feed的逻辑宾语。B、D两项是不及物动词,先排除,而arise意为“发生,引起,出现”;feed在此意为“养活”。
11. D 考查非限制性定语从句。句意:Carol说这项工作将于十月完工,我个人对此非常怀疑。在英语中,指代主句所表达的整个内容的只有as或which,因此选D项。
12. A 句意:在九寨沟神奇之旅后,汤姆兴奋地返回了家。amazing意为“令人惊奇的”;excited意为“感到兴奋的”,是形容词作伴随状语。
13. B 以so,nor,neither开头的句子,表示一种情况适用于另一个人或物,须用部分倒装,且此句的谓语与前句的谓语在时态、形式上相一致。so一般用于肯定句,neither或nor用于否定句。
14. B 考查动词的词义辨析。句意:“当看到我给她买的漂亮的芭比娃娃时,女儿高兴地尖叫起来。”scream意为“(因兴奋、疼痛或惊恐等)尖声大叫”,符合句意。shout意为“大声叫喊”;cry意为“哭喊”;call意为“叫;喊”。
15. B 本题考查倒装句。never是否定副词,置于句首时需要用部分倒装结构,因此选B项。
IV. 1.B Charles Dickens出生于1812年,他是一个政府小职员的儿子。
2. B 从下文特别是“...until the debt was paid.”可知,“……他爸爸因欠债而被关进了监狱”。
3. C 由下文可知,此处是指“在那时,哪怕是欠很少数目的债也要蹲监狱直到还清债务”。
4. A stay in prison意为“蹲监狱”。
5. B 这里谈论的是Charles接受的教育。该句句意为“他所接受的唯一的正式教育只有两年,是在一所专供贫困孩子的学校里”。receive education意为“接受教育”;是习惯搭配。
6. D 由文章内容“When Charles was 12, he had to work in a factory.”可知,Charles小的时候很贫穷。
7. B 由下文可知,此处说的是他作为小说作家的职业始于1833年。
8. A 在1837年,当他25岁时,他的短篇小说被收集整理成小说“The Pickwick Papers”。
9. C 小说The Pickwick Papers使他成为他那个时代英国最受欢迎(popular)的作家。
10. A 由上下文可推知,此处意思是“Charles Dickens有着与众多穷人一样的不幸的生活经历(experience)”。
11. C 由unhappy life, hard work等来看,此处说的是Dickens在各种各样(various) 艰难的工作中,他结识了很多人……这些为他后来的创作提供了素材。
12. D 通过上文的young and old, rich and poor可推知此处说的是“幸福的和不幸福的”。在这4个词中只有miserable与happy相对。
13. B 前面说Dickens在多年的工作中结识了各种各样的人,此处说的是Dickens笔下的人物要么比真实中的更好,要么比真实中的更差。
14. A 从上下文来看,此处说的是Dickens的小说充满了生活气息、观察力和活力……,be full of意为“充满”。
15. B 前面说“他的小说充满了生活气息,充满了观察力和活力……”,由此可断定“他本人的精力似乎是无穷尽的”。endless是形容词,意为“无边的;没有穷尽的”。
16. A 他的很多小说像《雾都孤儿》、《大卫?科波菲尔》等所关注的是一百多年前在英国所存在的令人不满意的社会环境。draw attention to为固定搭配,意为“关注;让人们去注意”。
17. A 《双城记》是在1859年“出版”的,come out无被动语态。
18. C 《双城记》生动地描写了爆发于1789年的法国资产阶级革命。break out意为“爆发”;不能用于被动语态中。break in意为“闯入”;break down意为“抛锚;破裂”;break up意为“分解;破碎”,都不符合语境。
19.B 句意为“正当人们盼望着他的下一部作品问世时,1870年他的突然离世震惊了成千上万的人”。
20. D 他们恸哭并购买了被称作“The Empty Chair”的画,这幅画展示的是他不再使用的桌椅。
V. 1. B 2. B 3.A 4.C 5.D
6. B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...yet it is the first of the films so far to achieve a PG12 rating, meaning under 12s should not view it without adult supervision.”可知12岁以下的孩子看这部影片, 要有成年人监护,故选B项。
7. C 事实细节题。根据第二段的内容可知,Robbie Coltrane,Maggie Smith都是在影片中扮演角色的演员,而Albus Dumbledore 是影片中的人物的名字,故选C项;从文中最后一句可知Katie Leung也在其中扮演了角色。
8. A 主旨大意题。全文主要介绍了影片《哈利·波特与火焰杯》的角色扮演者及影片的主要内容,故选择A项。
VI. 1. 去掉is 此处应是指“曾经有一个……”,所以用there used to be…结构。
2. hanged改为hung 因为hang作“悬挂”讲时,是不规则动词,其过去式是hung;作“绞死”讲时,才是规则动词,过去式是hanged。
3. laying改为lying 此句是leave…doing…“让……处于某种状态”的被动式;表示状态的“在、位于”,用lie,其现在分词是lying;而laying是及物动词lay“放置”的现在分词形式。
4. damaging改为damaged 因为car与damage是被动关系,所以用过去分词作定语。
5. in改为into 因为表示“把……变成……”是用短语turn…into…。
6. 去掉been 因为不去掉been,就是被动语态了,而take place是不及物动词,无被动语态。
7. have改为has 因为主语rubbish是不可数名词,所以谓语动词用单数形式。
8. 在planted前加been 因为谓语动词plant与主语是动宾关系,要用被动语态。
9. 此行正确。
10. our改为their 因为在此指代的是adults。
VII. One possible version:
In the last century, there was an English comic actor named Charlie Chaplin, who made the whole world laugh with his funny actions. Today in China there is also such a famous comic actor called Zhao Benshan. Wherever Zhao appears, there is always laughter. He is famous for his opuscula, which were played at the CCTV New Year's Galas. Every Spring Festival, all the audience who like his performance would sit in front of the TV sets to wait for him.

III.阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
Daniel Henney had a tough childhood growing up as a mixed-race child in a small US town. He fought with other children twice a week because they made fun of his family. His mum is Korean and his father, British-?American. Today, however, his cross-cultural appeal (吸引力) is sending him to the top of Asian pop culture. That’s because he appeared in hit Korean dramas like My Name is Kim Sam Soon, a romantic comedy film Seducing Mr.Perfect, and many advertisements.
“The knocks and wounds of childhood helped build my character ,”said Henney,27,from Carson City, Michigan. Before becoming a model, Henney said he was a quiet boy who loved basketball. His passion for the sport—and his height—got him a basketball scholarship at the University in Chicago. He also got a degree in business communication and a minor (兼修) in theatre.“I used to be scared to speak in front of people so I decided to take communications as a major,”he said.
Henney’s modelling career started in the US in the summer of 2002 by accident. An agent saw him in a parking lot, where he was waiting in a car for his friend to come out of an audition.
Henney has found being a Korean-?American star in Asia is,in fact, a double-?edged sword. His cross-cultural appeal, good looks and education are a big plus. But the language barrier often leaves him with minor roles despite his working knowledge of Korean.
“It’s very difficult. Because no matter how confident you are as a person, language is one thing that can stop you,”he said.“I have no problem speaking Korean with my friends on the phone, but...when I speak Korean on TV or in films ,the entire nation, all of Koreans, watching and listening so intently make me very nervous,”he said.
Henney doesn’t hesitate to share his troubled childhood despite the risk of hurting his Mr. Perfect image.“I think that it’s a longevity thing. If you are a liar, people can see that. Fans can see through that,”he said.
36.The purpose of this passage is to .
A. spread Asian pop culture
B. introduce a cross-cultural model
C. show us the importance of a language
D. tell us the popularity of Korean culture
37.Which of the following about Daniel’s childhood is NOT true?

D. He dreamed of becoming a model.
38.Daniel studied the following subjects in sch-
ool EXCEPT .

B. His cross-cultural background is a great
barrier for his career.
C. His language is the biggest problem in
communication.
D. Being a Korean-American star has both
strengths and weaknesses.

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.
At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. 21世纪教育网
Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money.They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
41.What is special about children learning financial management by experience?
A. They learn more quickly.
B. They are not likely to make mistakes.
C. Their mistakes won’t matter so much.
D. They have plans made by their parents.
42.When the writer says some young children “will learn the hard way that...”,he means .
A. they will know a budget is hard to carry out
B. they will have a hard time learning a lesson
C. what they will learn is absolutely true
D. their parents will teach them a hard lesson
43.Judging from the article, it is all right if a couple gives their son an allowance .
A. regularly twice every month
B. whenever he has run out of money
C. telling him to ask for permission before
spending
D. without telling him what to spend on
44.The writer would agree to encourage the kids to to deal with a tight budget.
A. borrow money from others
B. ask their parents for more money
C. get paid for their household routines
D. earn money by extra work
45.When a kid donates some of his allowance to wild animal protection, he is .
A. sharing it with others
B. giving it to a good cause
C. buying things for himself
D. saving for his future spending

Life In 2060
Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060.Let’s make believe it is 50 years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people of 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment (娱乐)of young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on their supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and the crops are no longer destroyed by pests.The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
People are now largely vegetarians (素食者).You see, as the number of people increases,the number of animals decreases. Therefore,the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds,and we know the causes and the cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
Such might be our life in 2060.
46.When was the passage written?

D. In about 2010.

With eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the travel industry. These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesn’t necessarily mean vacationing in a tree house in the Costa Rican jungle, although that is certainly a choice.
The majority of eco-hotels fall into one of several categories: hotels and resorts that conserve ecologically important habitats;“green” hotels that reduce, recycle, minimize waste, and protect water; sustainable hotels that harvest food from gardens on the hotel property or get part or all of their power from renewable energy; hotels that encourage community involvement such as guests taking part in trail clearing, and hotels that offer some form of environmental education to their guests.
As such, eco-hotels are a various group. Stylish (雅致的)urban hotels like Intercontinental The Willard Washington, D.C. focus on energy conservation, whereas The Rosario Resort & Spa on Orcas Island in Washington state offers a wildly popular “green” vacation package where guests can“take a hike, clear a trail, and enjoy a vacation” and in return receive a special “green” rate.
No matter what you call them, eco-hotel,
eco-lodge, eco-resort, or green hotel, they’re all part of the “greening” of the tourism industry, representing a conscience (良知) effort on the part of hotels.
Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt competition. Going green is yet another way to distinguish themselves from the mass of other excellent hotels that consumers have to choose from. But for many hotels, it’s also part and parcel of their philosophy. With the concept of“going green” firmly rooted in consumers’minds, eco-hotels take it to the next level, and whether or not money is the driving factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesn’t matter so much as that it’s good for the planet.
51.The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means “ ”.
A. lovers like staying at an eco-hotel while
traveling
B.eco-hotels are very popular in the travel
industry
C.eco-hotels are where young people love to live
D. eco-hotels are where romantic love stories happen
52.An eco-hotel refers to the hotel .
A. where power comes from renewable energy
B. which is comfortable and fashionable
C. whose rooms are made up of glass
D. which is home to conserved species
53.From the passage ,we know The Rosario Resort & Spa is a kind of hotel that .
A. protects important habitats
B. harvests food from its garden
C. teaches its guests courses on environment
D. encourages its guests to involve in the com-?munity
54.The underlined word “distinguish” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by “ ”.
A. change B. differ
C. divide D. protect
55.From the last paragraph,we can infer that .
A.the philosophy of eco-hotels is to earn more money
B. eco-hotels have no advantages in competing for travelers
C. eco-hotels increase the travelers’ sense of environment
D. the hotel industry cares more money than environment

In kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one.
In third grade your idea of a good friend was the person who shared his or her lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus.
In eighth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pack up your childhood stuff so that your room would be a “middle school student’s” room, but didn’t laugh at you when you finished and broke out into tears.
In eleventh grade your idea of a good friend was the person who came to comfort you when you broke up with someone.
In twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pick out a university, assured you that you would get into that university and helped you deal with your parents, who were having a hard time to adjust to letting you go.
At graduation your idea of a good friend was the person who was crying on the inside but managed the biggest smile one could give as they congratulated you.
Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices; holds your hand when you’re scared; thinks of you when you are not there; reminds you of what you have forgotten; helps you put the past behind you, but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer; stays with you so that you have confidence; goes out of their way to make time for you; helps you clear up your mistakes; helps you deal with pressure from others; smiles for you when you are sad; helps you become a better person; and ,loves you!

答案与解析
1.C 此处考查“hear+宾语+do/doing/done”结构,因为English是“被说”,故用spoken作宾补,表示被动。
2.C 本题考查冠词的用法。be in use为固定搭配,“在使用”;the thirteenth century “13世纪”,序数词前用定冠词,故选C。
3.A 本题考查句意理解及四个选项的含义辨析。custom “习俗”; habit “习惯”;hobby “爱好”;tradition “传统”。由句意“在西方国家圣诞节赠送礼物是习俗”可知,A为最佳选项。
4.C make up构成,组成;put up张贴,举起;bring up养育,培育;set up建立。根据句意“中国是一个多民族国家,少数民族约占总人数的8%”可知选C。

7.D adjust调整,调节;adapt使适应;adopt采用,收养;absorb吸收,缓冲;adjust the temperature调节温度。
8.C 本题考查主谓一致。The number of...“……的数目,……的人数”用作主语时,其谓语动词应用单数;the majority of...“……的大多数”用作主语时,其谓语动词的数由它后面的主语的数决定,此时them=students,其后动词显然应用复数,故应选C。
9.B comfortable舒服的;awkward尴尬的,别扭的;precious珍贵的;diverse不同的。
10.A be faced with为固定搭配,意为“面对”。故选A。
11.B 过去分词短语用作状语。blame与主句的主语Alice之间是动宾关系,故选B。
12.D 答语后一句话中没有连词,因此判断该句为独立主格结构。
13.B fall for作“迷恋,爱上”解;fall in意为“集合,列队”。由句意“那是在露天游乐场工作的那个夏天,我遇到了露西并爱上了她。”可知应用一般过去时态,故选B。
14.C How come?怎么会呢?Pardon me?请再说一遍好吗?Why not?为什么不呢?Never mind.别介意。由答语的后一句可知选C。
15.A let alone意为“更不用说”。根据句意可知let alone比较适合语境。答语的意思是:“但他甚至没有看到我,更不用说和我握手了。”故选A。
16.D 由下句I also don’t feel like saying anything.可知,作者很累,什么也不想想。故选D项。
17.B 由第二段第二句可知。
18.A 第一句作者说很累,后面写到收音机里又在播放轻柔的音乐,作者就更加“疲倦”了。
19.D ...occur to sb.意为“某人突然想起……”;...happen to sb.……发生在某人身上。根据语境应选D项。
20.A 由下文open my maths exercise book可知,作者还没有完成家庭作业。
21.C 由后半句“打开数学练习本”可知,作者要把收音机“关掉”。turn on打开;turn up(音量)调大些;turn off关掉;turn out结果是。
22.A read表示“(题目)是怎么写/说的”。
23.B 作者说到题不难,接着话题一转,又说看到一堆书就不想做了,故用表示转折关系的but。
24.B 作者很累,厌烦了读各种各样的书以及参加那么多令人厌烦的考试,因此对此而报怨。故选B项。
25.C take/have examinations(学生)参加考试。give examinations意思是“老师考学生”。
26.B divide把整体分成部分,常和into搭配;separate使分离,通常和from搭配。
27.D instead of而不是;thanks to幸亏;because of因为;according to按照,依据。有的老师按照学生分数的高低来给他们分组。故选D。
28.D 从第三段第一句可推测,老师对不同分数的学生有不同的对待。
29.A 老师希望给学生的当然是最好的“教育”,故选A项。
30.C 根据句意,这里所说的所有人“包括”学生、教师和家长等,故选C项。
31.C expect sb. to do sth.期待/希望某人做某事,此处指“希望教育系统”;hope不能接不定式的复合结构,believe和refuse不符合文章意思。
32.D 根据上句“人人都希望改变教育体制” 可知,作者着重谈及“学习”。
33.B 根据上下文可知,作者想说明学生需要的是“知识”,而不是分数。
34.A spend some time in doing sth.花费时间做某事。cost不以人作主语;pay和use在此搭配不当。
35.D after all意为“毕竟,终究”,符合语意。above all 首先;in all总共;at all根本。
36.B 主旨判断题。综观全文,作者在介绍Daniel Henney这位韩裔美国流行偶像,而不是介绍韩国或亚洲文化。
37.D 细节判断题。关于他的童年,从第一、二段得知前三种说法正确,而从第三段得知他进入娱乐圈出于偶然(by accident),而不是梦寐以求。
38.C 细节理解题。从第二段可知,他在学校里热爱篮球,获得过商业交际的学位,在戏剧方面小有建树,唯独没有学习过模特专业。
39.D 词义猜测题。这种题要结合上下文做。该词所在的句子为本段的主题句,从下文可知他的韩裔美国人的文化背景对他的事业发展是一把双刃剑,既有有利的方面,也有不利的方面,故选D。
40.B 推理判断题。从最后一段可知Daniel Henney并不讳言自己的问题童年,尽管可能因此会损害他完美先生的形象;他认为日久见人心,谎言迟早会被揭穿。可见他是诚实的,故B项正确。
41.C 细节理解题。由文章第一段最后一句可知,通过一些实践经验让孩子学习理财的特殊性在于“financial mistakes are not very costly”。[来源:21世纪教育网]
42.B 句意理解题。由第四段可知,如果开始时孩子们很快花完了补助,而父母“not to offer more money until the next allowance”,所以他们将会度过一段难熬的时期并从中吸取教训。
43.A 推理判断题。由第二段“时间的选择(timing)是给孩子补助需要考虑的另外一个因素,有的一周一次,也有的一月一次……”可以断定应选A。
44.D 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“Paying children to do extra work around the house”可知当补助预算吃紧时,作者赞成孩子通过干些额外的家务活的方式来赚些钱(earn money by extra work)。
45.B 推理判断题。最后一段告诉我们,补助可以让孩子们得到体验做三件事情的机会:They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.把补助捐出来用于野生动物保护应该属于“giving it to a good cause”。
46.D 数字推算题。由文章第一句话2060年距现在50年可知选D。
47.A 推理判断题。通过第二段可知每天都会有很多人到月球上去度假。
48.B 细节理解题。由第三段最后一句可知。
49.D 推理判断题。由第四段可知。
50.C 细节理解题。由倒数第二段的第二、三句话可知。21世纪教育网
51.B 句意猜测题。the darling of表示“备受宠爱的人”。这里指生态旅馆是旅游行业所欢迎的,故选B项。
52.A 细节判断题。文章中提到多种形式的生态旅馆,其中由第二段中的get part or all of their power from renewable energy可知,生态旅馆的一种形式就是它的能量都来自于可再生资源。
53.D 细节判断题。根据第三段的第二句中...where guests can “take a hike, clear a trail,and enjoy a vacation”以及第二段中的对生态旅馆的分类...;hotels that encourage community involvement...等可知。
54.B 猜测词义题。此处指生态旅馆有别于其他消费者选择的旅馆。
55.C 推理判断题。结合最后一段的With the concept of “going green” firmly rooted in consumers’minds, eco-hotels take it to the next level,...可知,绿色概念已深入人心,而生态旅馆又把它更加推进了一步,由此可推出生态旅馆提高了人们保护生态环境的意识。

IV.阅读理解(共4小题;每小题2.5分,满分10分)
Here are three of these titles the editors of the Book Review have selected from the list of 100 Notable Books of 2008.
A MERCY(FICTION)
By Toni Morrison.
Alfred A.Knopf,$23.95.
The fate of a slave child deserted by her mother makes this novel appealing—part Faulknerian puzzle, part dream-song. Morrison’s farmers and strange traders, masters and slaves, whites and Native Americans live side by side, often in violent conflict, in a lawless, ripe American Eden that is both a heaven and a prison—a rising nation whose identity is rooted equally in Old World superstitions(迷信) and New World appetites and fears.(First Chapter)
UNACCUSTOMED EARTH (FICTION)
By Jhumpa Lahiri.
Alfred A.Knopf,$25.
There is much cultural news in these precisely observed studies of modern-day Bengali-Americans—many of them settled in wealthy suburbs(郊区) who can’t quite overcome the pull of traditions developed in Calcutta. With quite artistry and tender sympathy, Lahiri creates an impressive range of vivid characters—young and old, male and female, self-?knowing and self-deluding—in absorbing stories that add a new stock to the classic themes of domestic realism: loneliness, separation and conflict.(Excerpt)
THE WORLD IS WHAT IT IS (NONFICTION)
The Authorized Biography of V.S. Naipaul
By Patrick French.
Alfred A.Knopf,$30.
The most surprising word in this biography is “authorized”.Naipaul, the greatest of all postcolonial authors, cooperated fully with French, bringing in a huge collection of private letters and diaries and adding to the exposures they disclosed with remarkably frank interviews. It was a brave and wise decision. French, a first-class biographer, has a novelist’s command of story and character, and he patiently connects his subject’s brilliant work with the disturbing facts of a rebellious life.(First Chapter)
1.What do these books have in common?
A. The press. B. The price.
C. The author. D. The characters.
2.The most interesting part of A MERCY is .
A. the rising nation
B. the strange household
C. the American Eden
D. the fate of a slave child21世纪教育网
3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the last paragraph?
A. French is an excellent biographer.
B. Naipaul interviewed French bravely.
C. The Biography of V.S. Naipaul is made up of
letters.
D. French finished THE WORLD IS WHAT IT IS with
the help of Naipaul.
4. What does the underlined word “authorized” in
the last paragraph mean?
A. Official. B. Standard.
C. Authentic. D. Experienced.
答案与解析
I. 1.in 2.to 3.with/by 4.on 5.in 6.in
7. to 8.to 9.from 10.into[21世纪教育网]
II.1.The dictionary is of great use.
2. Computers have come into wide use.
3. We must make good/full use of time.
4. We should put it to practical use.
5. His native language is English.
III.1.D 名词性从句要有引导词,此处用what作引导
词;make use of 短语中的use是名词。
2.C 句意:所有的航班因暴风雪而被取消了,许多乘客别无选择,只好乘火车。All flights having been canceled是独立主格结构作原因状语。
3.C 本题考查全部倒装。句意:舞台前面站着一位歌手。
4.C cold-blooded冷血的。
5.C the majority of...……中的大多数。句意:大多
数医生认为吸烟有害健康。
6.B variable adj.可变的;变化的,符合题意;varied adj.多种多样的;various adj.不同的;vary v.变化。
7.B put out扑灭,符合题意;turn down调小;
拒绝;put away收起来;turn over 翻过。
8.A however引导让步状语从句,相当于no
matter how。句意:不管你有多少工作要做,你都应该好好睡一晚上觉。
9.D give与句子的主语he之间是动宾关系,故此
处用give的过去分词形式作条件状语,given time相当于条件状语从句if he is given time。
10.B 此处考查的是强调句的结构而不是倒装句。
强调句的结构是“It is +被强调的部分+that/who...”;倒装结构是:“Only+状语+谓语+ 主语+其他”。
11.B where引导地点状语从句,此处where
相当于in the cases。
12. C infect与句子主语是动宾关系,故此处用
其过去分词作原因状语。
13.A 根据前后句意可知空白处所填之词表示“使……有变化”,故用vary。[来源:21世纪教育网]
14.C 分析句子可知,空白处所填内容表示“(某
物)用光,耗尽”,属不及物性质,相当于become used up,故用ran out,排除ran out of。
15.C it可用于某些动词或前置词之后,词义含
糊,构成固定习语。
IV.1.A 细节理解题。三本书的共同之处都是出自同一家出版社即Alfred A. Knopf。
2.D 细节理解题。信息点在“The fate of a slave
child deserted by her mother makes this novel
appealing...”。
3.A 细节理解题。由“French, a first-class [来源:21世纪教育网]
biographer”可知。
4.C 词义猜测题。由下句中“the greatest of all
postcolonial authors, cooperated fully with French, bringing in a huge collection of private letters and diaries and adding to the exposures they disclosed with remarkably frank interviews”可知,authorized应该是“权
威的”。

Ⅱ.1.D 句意:迈克尔的新房子和老房子比起来简[来源:21世纪教育网]
直像一个大宫殿。由句意知,拿新房子来和老房子作比较,故应用被动形式,此处为过去分词短语作状语。
2.C encourage与主句主语many farmers之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,因此应用被动形式,故排除B、D两项;A项表示该动作正在进行;Encouraged by the advances in technology为过去分词短语作原因状语。
3.D 过去分词短语作状语,其逻辑主语是句子的主语。根据written的形式断定,句子应以the report作主语。
4.C 句意:据报道,警察很快将着手调查两个孩子失踪的案件。look into意为“调查,检查”,符合句意。look upon意为“旁观”,look after意为“照顾,照料,管理”,look out意为“当心”,均不合题意。
5.C 句意:我们想要找到一张七人餐桌,但它们都被占用了。give away泄露;分发;keep away使离开;use up用尽,均不合题意。take up占据,符合题意。
6.D 句意:“你认为他们的乒乓球队在即将到来的亚运会上会赢得第一名吗?”“决不会。我们队比他们队要强大得多。”of course当然可以;it depends看情况而定; don’t mention it别客气;by no means决不。[来源:21世纪教育网]
7.C 句意:实验表明如果有规律地进行适量的运动(锻炼),会增进我们的健康。此处if引导省略句,补全应为:if proper amounts of exercise are carried out regularly。根据省略的原则,把相同的主语和连系动词be省去,就只剩下if carried out regularly。
8.C 句意为“我多么希望我冲妈妈喊叫之前闭上了嘴啊!”wish从句表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,故用过去完成时。
9.C由at that time可知,第一个空处动词用过去
式,“但那时我们不细心”;第二个空处为where引导的表语从句,“这正是我们的错误所在”。
10.C 句意:这家餐馆因其各种各样适合所有人
口味及消费能力的食品而深受大家的喜爱。division “分离;部门;分歧”;area “领域;地区”;range “批,组,类;范围”,a wide range of...“各种各样的……”;circle “圆形;圈子”。根据句意及词义可知,range 符合语境。
11.B 本题考查独立主格结构。句意:这么多的问题有待解决,他现在的日子很艰难。此处不定式to settle表将来。
12.D 本题考查分词短语表伴随。Mr Smith与follow之间为被动关系,因此用过去分词。
13.A 句意:杰克什么也没说,但是老师朝着他
笑,就好像他做了非常明智的事情一样。as if
好像;in case以防万一;while当……时候,而,却;though尽管。由句意可知应选A项。21世纪教育网
14.A 本题考查交际用语。A项“为什么?”;B项“那是什么?”;C项“怎么样”?;D项“怎么会呢?”。只有A项符合句意。
15.D prefer to do...rather than do...意为“喜欢
做……胜于做……”,为固定结构。
16.A 句意:既然你要在这个新公司工作,你最
好调整自己以适应新的状况。adjust oneself to...为固定短语,意为“调整自己以适应……”。
17.C pick up有“(偶然)学到,学会”之意。
18.A 本题考查动词短语。句意:作为高三学生,
重要的是要保持良好的精神状态。keep up “保持”,符合题意。
19.B 本题考查动词短语意义辨析。此处take in
表示“欺骗”。句意:由于涉世不深,头脑简单的青少年很容易被欺骗。take up “拿起;从事”;take on “呈现;雇用”;take off “脱掉;起飞”,均不合题意。
` 20.A 本题考查过去分词短语作状语。rush在本句
中为及物动词,意为“快速运往,速送”,与主语构成动宾关系,故用过去分词。

The Baima people—a minority group of some 1,400 people who for centuries have lived in northern Sichuan and southern Gansu provinces—have long depended on the forests as their main source of income. But since a logging(伐木作业) ban was introduced in the late 1990s to right yearly flooding, the villages have had to look for alternative livelihoods (生计).
Several are now in the process of developing a small tourism industry as their lands are rich in forests and natural landscapes and border on the home of the giant panda.Xiangshujia, a village, in particular, is becoming a popular bed and breakfast centre for tourists heading to Wanglang Nature Reserve to see China’s wildlife species close up. Visitors are also starting to take notice of the Baima themselves.21世纪教育网
As our jeep stops in the courtyard of one of the brightly coloured wooden houses,we are greeted by the village leader Li Qin and young Baima girls dressed in traditional costumes with white feathers in their hair. As we take our place on low-wooden benches (长凳) near an open fire, the girls break into traditional song as they serve us.
“The number of tourists is growing,” said the village leader Li Qin.“We realize that to attract foreigners we have to show our cultural side, offering more traditional singing and dancing and ensuring our houses are built in the traditional way.”21世纪教育网
Relations between the Baima and the reserve were once tense following the 1998 logging ban as villagers had to make a new living, which included entering the Wanglang Nature Reserve to collect wild mushrooms and herbs, often at the expense of disturbing the panda’s habitat. But things dramatically improved as villagers started receiving training on how to market their communities to tourists.
“Our aim is to deter the villagers from disturbing the panda habitat by ensuring they had a sustainable alternative livelihood, including the poorest of families,” emphasized Chen Youping, director of the Wanglang Nature Reserve.21世纪教育网
“All the money from the reserve goes back into community and conservation projects,” said Chen Youping.“Our priority is first the animals and then ecotourism (生态旅游).”

A
The world’s most famous footballer, David Beckham, is leaving his club,Real Madrid, to sign for the American side, LA Galaxy. Some reports say he’ll earn about a million dollars a week, which will make him the world’s third highest-earning sports star.
But why has the former England captain decided to leave the most high-profile club in the world to play in a country where football, or soccer as Americans call it, isn’t popular? Beckham says he enjoys the challenge of playing in the USA and wants to build a bridge between America and the rest of the sporting world by making football a major sport.
Some people have been surprised by Beckham’s decision saying it effectively means the end of his career as a serious footballer. But others, such as the former Manchester United and England player, Sir Bobby Charlton, think it was predictable. He says “it seems it was possible that at some time his career would finish up in that sort of position in Hollywood”. He and his pop-star wife like the Hollywood lifestyle.
Others think that David Beckham decided to move because he’s been unhappy at Real Madrid. He hasn’t won any major trophies during his four-year period there and he seems to have fallen out of favor with the manager.
But Beckham has no regrets about his time in Madrid. He said that playing with the likes of Zidane, from France, and Ronaldo, from Brazil, has been the biggest honor in his career.
David Beckham’s already played for two of the biggest clubs in the world. He’s been the captain of England and now he could become one of the richest athletes in history. If he manages to conquer America then, some say, he’ll be the most popular British export since the Beatles.

One kilogram—that was all it took to crown (给……加冕) the world’s strongest man.21世纪教育网
German weightlifter Matthias Steiner pulled ahead of Russian rival Evgeny Chigishev to win the Olympic men’s +105 kg weightlifting gold medal on Tuesday.
Steiner lifted a total of 461 kg, 203 kg in the snatch (抓举)and 258 kg in the clean and jerk (挺举), to beat Chigishev by a single kilogram. The German won the battle of giants in his last lift, winning his country’s first gold medal in the event at this year’s Games.
Steiner’s winning lift was also the last effort of the sport for this Olympics at which China earned eight of the 15 golds.
Steiner was born in Austria and represented his country of birth at the Athens Olympics four years ago, placing seventh in the lower 105 kg category, but had a falling out with Austria’s weightlifting federation afterwards.
He applied for German citizenship in 2005 and got married, but his career went into deep freeze as he could not compete without a passport. He finally obtained the document last January.
The German, who turns 26 on Monday, had come to these Games on a mission to win the title for his wife Susann, who died in a car accident in July last year. The German team said he used the personal tragedy to motivate himself to win the gold medal.
Chigishev was the strongest in the snatch session Tuesday. He kissed his fists after a 210-kg lift that gave him a 7-kg advantage over fourth-placed Steiner going into the second event—the clean and jerk. He let out a victorious roar (吼叫)after cleating 250 kg in his last lift, but the glory was shortlived as Steiner stunned (使瞠目) everyone with his final,winning clean and jerk effort.
Steiner had finished seventh in the 2004 Olympics in the 105 kg weight category, and took the gold in the 2008 European Championship +105 kg snatch competition, bronze in the clean and jerk and silver overall, with a total weight of 446 kg.
World champion Viktors Scerbatihs of Latvia settled for bronze.
5. Steiner won the gold by lifting________.
A. 105 kg B. 461 kg
C. 258 kg D. 210 kg
6. Four years ago at the Athens Olympics Steiner represented ________.
A. Australia B. Germany
C. Austria D. Russia
7. The following statements are true EXCEPT ________.
A. Steiner beat Chigishey by one kilogram
B. Chinese weightlifting team won eight of the 15 gold medals at this year’s Games
C. Steiner didn’t get the passport until last February
D. Steiner got a bronze in the 2008 European Championship +105 kg clean and jerk competition
8. It can be inferred from the passage that________.

C. it is hard to get a German citizenship21世纪教育网
D. Steiner was determined to win the medal for the German team

In China, they are known as nongmingong , meaning “farmers-turned-workers”, a term that likely means more in Chinese than it does in English.
And now this important part of the Chinese workforce have come to world reputation, thanks to Time magazine naming them runners-up(second place)to Ben Bernanke in its latest Person of the Year awards. While the US Federal Reserve chairman gained the top honor, the fact that the nongmingong were picked out shows their importance on the global stage.
Leaving behind families and homes to move to China’s cities, they take on largely manual work and are among the country’s lowest-paid workers. They often go about their work unknown to the public, despite numbering around 200 million.
But while the nongmingong will attract a good deal of attention, Bernanke will be on the cover of the magazine, due to his applying of US monetary policy that helped the world’s largest economy out of the financial crisis.
The Chinese workers ranked second were the only group named. The magazine described them as “an increasingly influential group in one of the world’s most powerful economies. ”
This year, China’s year-on-year gross domestic product (GDP) growth is set to exceed(超过)8 percent. The growth rate means it will contribute about 20 percent of this year’s global economic growth, Cheng Siwei, former vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, said last month.
Analysts said the country’s nongmingong were an important part of the economic miracle in recent years.
“This group will have a great influence on China’s future development,” said Chen Gong, chief economist and chairman of Anbound Group, a Beijing-based consulting firm.
“More importantly, they are linking the cities and the rural areas, playing a role in bridging the gap between the two,” he said.
The important role of nongmingong in the Chinese economy, however, reflects the fact that China still relies on low-technology manufacturing to support its economic development, said Zhong Jiyin, an economist with the Institute of Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences(CASS).21世纪教育网
9. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The Chinese workforce.
B. Time magazine’s list of people who mattered.

10. We can infer from the second paragraph that ______ .
A. Chinese nongmingong become the latest Person of the Year awards
B. Ben Bernanke is chairman of the US Federal Reserve
C. Time magazine belongs to the US Federal Reserve
D. The nongmingong mainly take on manual work
11. According to the text, Bernanke’s success lies in ______ .
A. helping American economy out of the financial crisis
B. working out US monetary policy
C. contributing about 20 percent of this year’s global economic growth
D. being on the cover of the magazine
12. In the opinion of Chen Gong, ______ .
A. China’s GDP growth is set to exceed 8 percent
B. China has worked an economic miracle in recent years
C. China still relies on low-technology manu- facturing to develop economically
D. The nongmingong contribute to reducing the difference between cities and rural areas

School phobia is a type of illness which causes students to be afraid to go to school. This condition is most commonly seen in children, typically between the ages of 8~13, and it can be very upsetting, especially if it is allowed to progress. Symptoms include stomach aches, tiredness, shaking, a racing heart and frequent trips to the toilet.
This common phobia is associated with a wide variety of causes. Most commonly it is the result of separation anxiety, but it can also be caused by different kinds of stress. A child who has recently moved, suffered a loss, or gone through a divorce may develop school phobia, and phobias can also develop in response to bullying (欺侮),an unrecognised learning disability, and poor self-image. Understanding the cause of a school phobia is an important step in providing treatment.
A child with school phobia usually refuses to go to school, or protests violently. He or she may become physically ill when ordered to school, or pretend to be sick to avoid going. When the child arrives at school, he or she may run away, or develop behavioural problems in class and on the playground. When school is discussed, the child can become impatient, upset or angry.
Many techniques can be used to manage school phobia, but research suggests that much more effective treatment is required for school phobia to prevent problems developing in later life. Children with this condition usually benefit from seeing a psychologist or doctor who can help the child and provide assistance to help parents and school officials support the child. As soon as a school phobia is identified, parents should take action too. Like other phobias, school phobia gets worse the longer it is left untreated, and it can interfere with a child’s success in school. Adjustments can be made at home and in the classroom to help. If bullying is a cause, for example, the bullying situation should be solved. A teacher can meet the child at the door and take him or her to class, and provide support so that the child feels a friendly adult is always available.
Changes at home can include supportive language from parents, along with support like assistance with homework. If a child lacks confidence, parents may encourage the child to take up new hobbies that will help them to feel good about themselves. Parents might also talk to their children about their own fears of school and how they got over them, and their own enjoyment of school and school-like activities.
By following these methods we can help children to dispel their school phobia.
13. Which of the following topics is NOT discussed in the passage ?
A. The definition of school phobia.
B. The history of school phobia.
C. The causes of school phobia.
D. The effects of school phobia.
14. What is a useful treatment for school phobia according to the passage ?
A. Parents should allow their children occasional days off.
B. Teachers should be stricter with students.
C. Children should be helped to develop a sense of achievement.
D. Children should be regularly sent to a psychologist.
15. The underlined word “dispel” (in the last paragraph) probably means “________”.
A. accept B. realize
C. forget D. overcome
16. Which of the following statements might the author agree with?
A. School phobia is most often suffered by middle school students.
B. School phobia may have bad influence on children’s future life if neglected.
C. Children with school phobia should not be given medical treatment.
D. Most children with school phobia are pretending to be ill.

When Lew Alcindor was 13, and obviously still growing, a group of schools began offering him scholarships. The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small school on Manhattan’s West Side.
At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fame as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All-America team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.
From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a lollipop(棒棒糖), Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups(擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.
When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly. He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. “People want you not for yourself,” Donohue warned him, “but because you’re a basketball player. Don’t forget that.”
17. Why was Alcindor able to make the high school All-America team?
A. Because he was young
B. Because he was hardworking
C. Because he was tall for his age
D. Because he was quick and skillful at playing basketball
18. Which of the following best describes Donohue as a young coach?
A. serious, popular and slow
B. tall, skillful and successful
C. kind, powerful and undefeated
D. well-known, strict and experienced
19. Why did some rival coaches take their teams away from the floor before Power warmed up?
A. Their teams refused to play Power
B. Their teams feared to see Alcindor
C. Their teams would lose courage21世纪教育网
D. Their teams would lose interest.
20. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

Ⅴ.阅读表达(共4小题;每小题5分,满分20分)
Learning to save money when you’re young is an important lesson. All good lessons and habits begin early, and saving is a skill that everyone needs. Many people—adults included—do not have a good sense of saving for the long run. I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grass-cutting business since I was 10 years old. Of the money I make I spend about 10 percent and save the other 90.
Making sure you save and don’t spend too much is a good way to build up wealth. I have put my earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow. Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.
At high school many parents pay for almost everything, so your expenses can be small. If you have a job, you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money, you not only lose that money, but also lose the interest you could have earned by saving it.
After high school, college is expensive and then “real” life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. If you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house will be much easier. _________, the more time the money has to grow. If you are in your thirties without any savings, you will always have to struggle. The earlier you begin saving, the easier it is to create a nest egg.
Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general costs of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills. If you want to buy a house and have a family, you need money to start with, which comes from saving.
Many say money cannot make you happy, and this is true. But money can help you to lead a secure life.
Saving early will mean you will have to work for fewer years when you are older. It will also allow you to spend time doing the things that you want to do.
In addition to this, it will mean you can live the way you want to without worrying.
1. What’s the best title of the passage? (no more than 5 words)

11. D 根据句意,应是“难怪他如此疲倦”,故用no wonder。另外,“It is no wonder that...”句型可以省略为“no wonder(that)...” 而 “there is no doubt that ...”句型则不可以省略。
12. D there is still doubt 意为“……尚有疑问”,故doubt 后的同位语从句应该是带有疑问性质的从句,而从句中不缺少主语和宾语,故只能选D项。
13. B 句意:比尔盖茨小时候对他周围的事物有着各种各样的兴趣。重在兴趣的性质,故选B项。
14. A 句意:直到所有的文件都签署了之后他们才能拥有这座房子。A项意为“占有,拥有”;B项“注意”。
15. B 本题考查副词用法。safe形容词,安全的;safely副词,安全地;safety名词,安全;save动词,挽救,节省。由此及句意可知,此处应用副词safely修饰动词landed,故应选B项。
Ⅱ.
1. B 外面下雨了,人们都在躲雨,等待雨停。下文中母亲的话“We’ll wait until ...”也给出了提示。从后半句看,一些人耐心地等待,一些人则有些恼怒,所以不能说大家都在抱怨。
2. C “因为”大自然的突然降雨打乱了人们正常的工作和生活节奏。
3. D 从文意可知,雨水“冲刷”走了世界上的尘土和脏物。
4. A catch me相当于catch my attention,意为“引起了我的注意”。
5. A slow down指“雨下得缓和一点”。
6. B 从下文可知,此句话是“重复”了一遍前面的话。
7. A 句意:小女孩边说边拉她妈妈的胳膊。
8. C 从女儿的回答”When you were talking...”可知,母亲是问小孩自己是什么时候说那些话的,故选C项。
9. C 从文意可知,如果上帝能让小孩的父亲渡过这一难关,就能让他们度过“任何”难关。
10. B still静止不动;silent沉默,不出声。对于小孩这一天真美好的愿望,大家显然事先都没有想到,所以都在沉默,并静观下面事情的发展。
11. A what引导宾语从句,并在句中充当say的宾语,母亲在考虑要和女儿“说什么”。
12. B 孩子说出的话,在一些人看来肯定会有点“傻的”,因为上帝是不存在的,这种愿望只是一种幻想。
13. A 母亲不愿破坏孩子的童真,所以表示赞成孩子是“对”的,是肯定刚才孩子的话就是自己讲过的话,而不是说孩子聪明。从下文的行动,也可知答案。
14. A run off跑开。此处强调off,故把这个词提前。
15. D 上文的silent以及下文的smiling,laughing可以看出母女的行为已引起了人们的关注,他们都在看着母女俩在雨中跑。
16. A 这对母女的行为也感染了其他的人,有几个人“跟着”她们在雨中奔跑。
17. B all the way一路上。way和后面的to搭配。这几个人一边跑一边又叫又笑,很兴奋。
18. C 人们的物质甚至“健康”可能被带走。
19. B 从下文“ ...make memories every day!”可知,自己创造的美好“记忆”是不会被带走的。 21世纪教育网
20. B take the chance / opportunities to do sth.表示“抓住机会做某事”,为固定搭配。该句表示“抓住创造美好记忆的机会”,点明了文章主旨。
Ⅲ.
1. D 细节理解题。由文中首句即可得出答案,贝克汉姆要离开马德里队,加入美国LA Galaxy。另外,选项A、B与原文首段首、末句相悖;选项C的叙述只是有些人的猜测。
2. C 推理判断题。由题干直接锁定第2段,本段用but转折,why引出的设问句,自问自答。第2句提出Beckham离开马德里俱乐部是想接受挑战,将足球推向世界,故C为答案。其他三项均为别人的推测或评论,故排除。
3. B 推理判断题。四个选项中的人物都是足球运动员,由第5段末句可知David Beckham与Zidane和Ronald在同一个团队踢过球;而Sir Bobby Charlton是the former Manchester United and England player,和其他三人不一样,故选B项。
4. A 主旨大意题。本文开篇点题,讲明贝克汉姆要去美国一家俱乐部,周薪100万美元,将成为世界第三位高身价的体育明星,并在报道中多次提到该事情,文章末尾又以he could become one of the richest athletes in history作为呼应,故选A项。
5. B 细节理解题。由文章第三段首句可知,Steiner以461公斤的总成绩获得冠军。
6. C 细节理解题。由文章第五段首句可知。
7. C 细节理解题。由第六段可知,Steiner最后拿到护照的时间是去年的1月,而不是2月。因此C项叙述不正确。
8. A 推理判断题。见第七段的had come to these Games on a mission to win the title for his wife Susann及he used the personal tragedy to motivate himself to win the gold medal,可以推知Steiner的夺金动力来自他已故的妻子Susann。
9. C 主旨大意题。由文章可知,这篇文章主要讲农民工问题,但主要讲的是它在国际上的名声,文章由第二段的一句话”thanks to Time magazine naming them runners-up...“而引起话题,所以应选C项。
10. B 推理判断题。文中说Ben Bernanke获得年度风云人物奖,而下文提到是美联储主席获得了最高荣誉,据此判断,Ben Bernanke就是美联储主席。
11. A 细节理解题。由第四段可知,Bernanke提出的货币政策帮助美国渡过了经济危机。
12. D 细节理解题。由倒数第二段可知,农民工联系了城市和农村,在缩小城乡差距方面扮演了重要的角色,所以应选D。
13. B 细节判断题。文章第一段谈到了恐校症的定义,排除A;第二段分析了恐校症的原因,第三段讲述了“恐校症”给一个孩子带来的影响及后果;只有第二项“恐校症”的历史文章未涉及。
14. C 细节事实题。文章倒数第二段第二句提到父母应帮助患“恐校症”的孩子培养新的爱好,帮助他们找到一些成就感。
15. D 词义猜测题。文章最后一句谈到“通过采用上述方式,我们能帮助孩子克服恐校症”。其余选项意思不符。
16. B 推理判断题。由第四段第四句“像其他恐惧症一样,如果不治疗恐校症,它可能妨碍孩子在校获得成功”可推出B项。
17. D 细节判断题。从文章第二段倒数第二句话可看出:Alcindor十五岁时头脑灵活,技巧丰富。[来源:21世纪教育网]
18. D 细节推理题。从文章第二段第一句话看出:这位教练年轻,严格,有名气;也就是有能力有经验。
19. C 细节推理题。从文章第三段第二句话可看出:对方球队的教练不会让自己的球员过多看到Alcindor的练习,就是怕自己的队员看到Alcindor的出色表现而丧失信心,在比赛中失利。
20. C 主旨大意题。从整篇文章能看出讲述的是一位年轻的球员成长为一位出色运动员的过程。

Dear editor,
I have received your letter and now I will introduce Yao Ming to you.
Yao Ming, born in Shanghai in September, 1980, is 2.26m high and weighs 120 kg. Yao’s parents both used to be basketball players. During the 2000-2001 season, he got 27.1 scores for the Shanghai Oriental(东方) Sharks in every match, which made him a very important basketball player in CBA and he became a member of the Chinese National Men’s Basketball Team. Because of his good performance, he joined the Houston Rockets in November, 2002 and served it until now. Sport analyst(分析家) Bill Walton said, “Yao Ming is a potential player, who has the capability of changing the future of basketball.” He himself said he would do his best to learn from the NBA and improve himself.
Yours sincerely

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共4小题;每小题2.5分,满分10分)
Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together.Others say that the opposite is true that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood.Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also destroyed by incidents caused mainly by minor national competition.
One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, as the losers objected to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was quite angry when he said: “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the disorder of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not give up first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket.It was the first time the U.S.A. had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. Experts discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national terms, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.
1. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ________.
A. created goodwill between the nations
B. caused only false national pride
C. hardly showed any international friendship
D. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred
2. What did the manager mean by saying, “…Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.”?
A. His team would no longer take part in international games.21世纪教育网
B. Hockey and the Federation are ruined by the unfair decisions.
C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.
D. The Federation should not exist.
3. The basketball example implied that ________.
A. too much patriotism was shown in the incident
B. the announcement to make the match long was wrong
C. the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision21世纪教育网
D. the American team was right in receiving the silver medals
4. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.
C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.
D. International contests are liable for misunder- standing between nations.

2.average
3.deserves
4.motivation
5.outstanding
6. defend
7. Complicated
8. awesome
9. guard 21世纪教育网
10. protect
Ⅱ.1. D 句意:在法庭上她成功地自我辩护,最后法官宣布她无罪。express“表达”;describe“描述”;replace“代替”; defend“辩护”。
2. C require接从句时,从句应用虚拟语气,即从句谓语用should+动词原形。“听课”应用attend。take part in指参加某一活动。
3. B 句意:中国科学家值得称赞,因为他们在太空旅行方面取得重大进展并得到国际上的认可。deserve doing sth. 值得……,用主动形式表示被动意思,符合题意。
4. D 句意:“你去机场接我可以吗?”“我非常愿意去。但是当你回来时我可能正在参加一个重要的会议。”从句中可以看出“你回来”发生在将来所以排除B、C两项,而will be doing表示将来某个时刻正在做……,符合题意,因此选D项。
5. C 本题考查形容词的用法。此处是形容词professional用作名词worker的定语。
6. A attend a meeting参加会议;join sb. in sth.加入某人的行列从事某活动;take part in参加某活动。
7. B go on继续;hold on抓住不放,坚持;move on继续前进;carry on继续进行。根据后句的I will go to your rescue可知,这里应是“坚持住”“别松手”。
8. B 本题考查名词辨析。句意:越来越多的人选择到超市购物,因为他们尤其对(超市能提供的)货物的品种多样感兴趣。对比四个选项“价格”、“多种式样”、“价值”及“数量”可知B项符合题意。
9. A 句意:在微软的工作使他获得了信息技术方面宝贵的经验。valuable 宝贵的;valued 有价值的;worth值得;worthy值得的。
10. B 句意:如果人口按现在的速度增加,最后地球上剩下的资源将不够维持人类的生活。eventually “(作为结果而)终于(发生)”。A项at last (在久久等待以后)终于(发生);C项lastly (次序)最后,与firstly,secondly...相对;D项lately最近。
11. A hold on to不放手,保住。根据句意知我们要保存这些旧家具。
12. A 句意:他说:“他们真的很伟大,应该得到我们所有人的尊敬。”deserve因为行为、品行、才干等应该得到;receive接收,收到;preserve保护,维持;perceive理解。
13. B doubt用在肯定句中时,其后常跟whether引导的从句;用在否定句或疑问句中时,其后常跟that从句,在此题中关键有little这个词,它意为“几乎没有”,表否定,因此选B项。
14. D 句意:她不戴眼镜看起来好看多了!much修饰比较级,故只有better正确。
15. B 句意:“蒂姆动身了吗?他说过他要参加派对。”“他肯定已经动身了,他是个守信的人。”由答语最后一句可知C、D两项不合语意应排除,A项表示“本来能够做却没做”也不合语意。故选B项。
Ⅲ.1. C 根据第一段中的…in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood可知答案为C“最近奥运会对于促进国际友谊没有作出太大的贡献”。
2. B 根据上文中…that their opponents’ victory was unfair可知领队对此是持抗议的态度,认为判罚不公平。
3. A 此处的有关美俄篮球比赛的例子是为了起到“举例子”,证明作者观点的正确,本文第二、第三段均起这种作用。
4. A 本文主要是说奥运会的竞赛机制不利于国家之间的友好关系的建立,B、C两个选项均不正确,D选项的内容外延太大,因此只有A“奥运会的组织形式有必要改进”正确。

答案与解析[来源:21世纪教育网]
Ⅰ. 1. homeless 2. satisfaction
3. succeeded 4. friendly
5. carefully 6. difficult
7. painful 8. poetic
Ⅱ.1. B 句意:毫无疑问他获得了一等奖。此题考查固定句型there is no doubt that...“毫无疑问……”其他无此搭配。
2. A 句意:“你上周在泰国玩得开心吗?”“不是很开心,天气太热了。”根据上下文的逻辑关系,应选A项“不是,不完全是”。B项意为“是的,为什么不呢?”;C项“噢,太伟大了”;D项“你说对了”,显然B、C、D三项与下文不符。
3. D 句意:当彼得收到他朋友的邀请去参观重庆的时候,他非常兴奋。本题易错选that。但由句意知并不是“如此……以致”之意。where表地点,why表原因,均不合句意,故选D项。
4. A 句意:“我有好消息要告诉你。你被接受加入我们的俱乐部了。”“是吗?太好了!”根据语境,应选A项。
5. D 本题考查时间状语从句。A、B、C、D都可引导时间状语从句,但由于主句时态用了will have done而by the time引导的时间状语从句,主句往往用完成时。
6. A 考查name构成短语的用法。根据句意应理解为“以法律之名义”。[来源:21世纪教育网]
7. A 本题考查动宾搭配。success是名词;succeeded是过去式或过去分词;successful是形容词;successfully是副词。动词make之后应跟名词success作宾语,故选A项。
8. D 句意:请告诉我事故是怎样发生的,我现在仍然不知道。come by (从……旁)经过,得到;come upon突然产生, 偶然遇到,降临;come to共计,涉及,苏醒过来,被继承,达成;come about发生。
9. A 本题考查动词的用法。根据句子的意思和语境分析,此处应该是祈使句型,所以使用动词原形。
10. D 理解与get相关的短语:get at够得着;理解;意指,暗示。get on进展;出人头地;登(车),上(马)。get by过活;过得去;经过,通过。get through通过;穿过;(工作)完成;(测验)合格;接通电话。根据句意可判断答案是D项。
11. A 句意:当别人正在说话时,打断他们说话是不礼貌的。interrupt打断(讲话或讲话人); cut in插话; break into闯入,打断;突然……起来。根据句意可知答案是A项。
12. C 根据句意可知答案是C项:based on “以……为基础,建立在……的基础上”,作名词art的后置定语。
13. B however conj.然而,可是,不过;ad. 无论如何,不管怎样;不管用什么方法;究竟怎样,到底如何。eventually ad. 最后,终于;moreover ad. 并且,加之,此外。根据句意可知答案是B项。
14. C 句意:并不是每一个人都意识到自然平衡在生活中发挥着多大的作用。本题考查冠词。本题涉及到短语:play an important part in;规则:nature 前不加冠词。
15. A 句意:你看过Rain主演的电影吗?本题考查动词短语辨析。A作为动词意思是“主演”;B“参加活动”;C“制作”;D“担当,充当”。
16. A 此处考查词性的转化,shock由动词转化成具体名词,意为“一件让人感到震惊的事”,故A项正确。
17. B safe “安全的”;safely “安全地”;safety “安全”;save“挽救,节省”。由此及句意可知,此处应用副词safely修饰动词land。
18. A 第一空使用形容词foolish构成系表结构;第二空则用副词foolishly作状语修饰acting;而第三空前a决定了此处应用名词fool。
19. C 该题考查形容词化的过去分词作定语。根据句意,谈及在他写的所有歌曲中要用最高级形式。A项为比较级;B项为原级;D项错误,因most不能用来修饰形容词化的过去分词。故选C项。
20. D 本题考查省略句。句意:依我看来,二十一世纪的生活要比以前容易得多。省略句是历年来考查的重点,对于此类问题,最基本的方法是还原法。同时要注意省略句中,能省略的通 常为实义动词,像be, have等助动词通常不能省略 ,故选D而不能选B。

Mrs Black was having a lot of trouble with her skin, so she went to her doctor about it. He could not find anything wrong with her, however. So he sent her to the local hospital for some tests. The hospital, of course, sent the results of the tests direct to Mrs Black’s doctor, and the next morning he telephoned her to give her a list of the things that he thought she could not eat, as any of them might be the cause of her skin trouble.
Mrs Black carefully wrote all the things down on a piece of paper, which she then left beside the telephone while she went out to a ladies’ meeting.
When she got back home two hours later, she found her husband waiting for her. He had a big basket full of packages beside him, and when he saw her, he said, “Hello, dear. I have done all your shopping for you. ”

2. generation
3. selfish[来源:21世纪教育网]
4. natural
5. popularity
6. instant
7. nature
8. stamina
9. popularity
10.based
Ⅱ.
1. A 句意:闪电一发生你立刻就能看到,而雷声要过一会儿才能听到。the instant可以用作连词,意为“一……就……”;for an instant意为“一会儿”;in an instant意为“立即”;没有on the instant这种用法。
2. D 句意:她过去不习惯于晚上工作。花了几个月的时间她才习惯了那样。used to do 过去常常做某事,be used to doing习惯于做某事,表状态,get used to表示动作。
3. C in turn意为“又反过来”,句意:清洁的环境有利于申办奥运,而申办奥运又可以促进经济的发展。C项符合句意,为正确答案。in nature“实质上,性质上”,in return“作为回报”,in fact“实际上,事实上”。均不合题意。
4. C 句意:如果有必要的话一定要请他帮忙。他很友善,总是乐于助人。if necessary表示“如果有必要的话”。
5. C in one’s nature表示“天生如此”。句意:我并不是那种不友善的人。我只是那时太生气,控制不住自己而已。
6. C 句意:我从未怀疑我们队可以赢得4×100米接力比赛。doubt用于疑问句或否定句时,通常跟that引导的宾语从句。
7. B 句意:他本应将注意力集中到学习上,如今却转移到了打游戏上。pay attention to和draw one’s attention to中的to都是介词。
8. A 英语倍数的表达可用“倍数+as+形容词/副词原级+as...”表示,只有A、B正确,而花的钱是不可数的,因此选A项。 21世纪教育网
9. D come into use开始被利用,是固定短语; the 1920s是二十世纪二十年代,前面须有定冠词the。
10. B 句意:“那人非常小心没有告诉给经理他不能做那份工作。”考查care的派生词的词义和用法。根据语境,答案是B项。
11. D There is no doubt that...为一常用句型,意为“……是毫无疑问的”。
12. C 本题考查句意理解。那个男孩在和敌人的战斗中表现出极大的勇气。形容词great后应跟名词bravery。
13. C 句意:“还没交上你的作业吗?”“我交上了。我猜老师正在批着。”由now便知,用现在进行时,而且用被动式。
14. D 考查时态。句意:你女儿长得比我预料的高多了。本句话强调的是长高这种事实对说话人的影响,故应用现在完成时。
15. B 句意:“医生的忠告鼓励他戒烟戒酒。”考查courage的派生词的应用,discourage sb. from doing sth.“阻止……干……”,故答案是B项。
Ⅲ.
1. B 从文中第一段第一句Mrs Black was having a lot of trouble with her skin, so she went to her doctor about it. 可以看出Mrs Black因感觉皮肤不适, 所以去看医生。
2. C 这儿“He”给她进行了检查, 但没发现任何问题而送她去医院做进一步检查, 当然是指Mrs Black的医生。
3. B 医生送她去医院做检查是因为没发现问题, He could not find anything wrong with her...。
4. D 医院将检查结果直接送给了医生, 由此文中第一段最后... as any of them might be the cause of her skin trouble. (医生打电话告诉她可能导致她的皮肤患疾的食物,让她不要吃这些食物。)可知。
5. B 丈夫见到购物单就去购买, 当然谈不上细心, 但完全可以说“诚实”。由此也可推断出妻子打电话时他不在家。

The US men’s basketball team has opened its Olympic campaign with a 31-point victory over host China, 101-70. VOA Sports editor Parke Brewer reports from Beijing.
The Beijing Olympic Basketball Gymnasium was overflowing with both fans and the media for this much-anticipated game. And the Chinese, to the delight of the home crowd, even stayed with the heavily favored Americans well into the second quarter because of their accurate three-point shooting.
The US players scored many of their points on electrifying dunks, and it was the slam dunk by Chris Bosh with the score tied at 29 that finally put the Americans up to stay. [来源:21世纪教育网][来源:21世纪教育网]
“We came out a little tight,” said Chris Bosh. “We knew that it was going to be a very emotional game for both teams, especially China playing in front of their home crowd. But we withstood the storm and calmed down, and then we just played a lot better basketball. ”
Watching the big American victory in person were President Bush, his wife Laura and his father, the former President George H. W. Bush.
Bosh said the team was aware of their presence.
“It was just a thrill to have the leader of our country there,”he said. “It was pretty patriotic for us and for the citizens all across the world who are United States citizens. ”
Both Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade were perfect from the field, with Bosh four-for-four and Wade seven-for-seven. Wade was also perfect on all five of his free throws, and led the US team with 19 points. LeBron James had 18, while Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard each scored 13. Yao Ming, China’s NBA star of the Houston Rockets, led the home team with 13.
Yao scored the first points of the game on a three-point field goal, and US Coach Mike Krzyzewski said, after that, his players contained him very well.
“I thought that the attention we gave Yao early was key, ”said Mike Krzyzewski. “He made really good plays to get his teammates involved and they hit threes. And more than half their points in the first half were from threes. And we were like one-for-twelve. I think we ended up one-for-fifteen before we started hitting some threes. ”
And the Americans continued to build their lead. The US managed a 12-point lead by halftime(49~37) and surged to a 26-point advantage after three?quarters(74~48). Once again, the final was the USA 101, China 70.
1. Who got the first 3-point goal?

A. This is the US team’s second game.
B. Before the halftime, the US team has no advantage.
C. Chinese team played as well as the US team in the first quarter.
D. The US team were not nervous at all from the beginning.
3. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “contain”?
A. 学习 B. 包含 C. 盖帽 D. 控制
4. How many people got over 10 points in this match?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5[来源:21世纪教育网]

A. US men’s basketball team is great.

The first time the meaning of the last day of school hits me is when I’ve just finished the third grade. There’s wordless sound that sings in my head and makes me giddy (眩晕的).I can see the summer extending before me. I’m riding my Huffy,two-speed with the beautiful paint and seat,around and around the block. First I’m riding with a group of friends,and we’re all shouting loudly “No more homework! No more books! No more teachers!” and feeling like rebels (反叛者).21世纪教育网
Slowly the group has dwindled and I’m left alone in the nightfall of a warm June night. The air is just a little cool,and smells green. The light is that golden light that only happens early in the morning and just before the sun goes down. Painter’s light,but I don’t know that yet. There’re so many things I don’t know yet. But,I do know how it feels to be eight years old and completely free. To feel like I’m riding a hundred miles an hour,the wind in my face,blowing my hair,I take my hands off the handlebars,and ride no-hands for just a second and I let out a shout of pure joy.
Now that I have grown up,I don’t often get the chance to experience that excitement that I felt so many last-days-of-school ago. But every once in a while,and only in the evening in the early summer,when the light is golden and the night smells green,I might see a kid on a bicycle and it will happen again. I’ll suddenly remember what it feels like to be eight years old on the last day of school. And immediately I’ll sit on the banana seat of a bicycle with the wind in my face riding no-hands into the sunset of my memory. And you know,it doesn’t get much better than that.
1.According to the passage,what does my Huffy (Paragraph 1) refer to?
A. My bicycle. B. My motorcar.
C. My car. D. My train.
2. The underlined word “dwindled” in Paragraph 2 means “______”.

4.为了给我一个大的惊喜,我的丈夫在豪华饭店举办了一个盛大的宴会。
5.这辆自行车值300元。
Ⅵ. 1. B 本题考查with的复合结构。此处settle作及物动词,意为“解决”。用不定式的主动形式表示被动的含义。
2. B 本题考查动词词组的意义辨析。look forward to意为“盼望”,其中to为介词,其后跟名词、代词或动名词;look back at意为“回顾,回忆”;look down upon意为“瞧不起”;look through意为“浏览;快速查看”。根据句意“老人们通常喜欢回顾他们美好的过去。”可知答案为B。
3. B find oneself doing “发现自己处于某种处境或在做某事”。句意:当他苏醒过来时,他发现自己正躺在医院里。
4. B What a pity!意为“真遗憾!太可惜了!”句意:多可惜呀!你错过了昨天晚上的音乐会!它是我曾经看过的最好的一场音乐会。

Ⅶ. 1. A 细节理解题。从最后一段可以明确此处的my Huffy是指我的自行车,故答案为A。
2. A 词义猜测题。第一段提到“First I’m riding with a group of friends,...”,而第二段则提到“I’m left alone in the nightfall of a warm June night.”,这说明骑自行车的人在逐渐减少。故答案选A。
3. D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“But, I do know how it feels to be eight years old and completely free.”可知,关键是那种自由的感觉让作者难以忘记。
4. B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第二、三句可知选B。
5. A 主旨大意题。文章首句“The first time the meaning of the last day of school hits me is when I’ve just finished the third grade.”点明文章的主旨,然后通过一系列事情的描述来突出主题,所以A项正确。

答案与解析
Ⅰ. 1. C 句意:他上班迟到的原因是他起床晚了。考查固定句型The reason why...is/was that...,其中第一个空的why引导定语从句修饰reason;第二个空的that引导表语从句。
2. B 句意:就我而言,这项工程应该被推迟。as far as I am concerned“就我而言”,符合句意。
3. D It’s a pity that...“真遗憾……”;“with+宾语+宾补”是with的复合结构。
4. A 句意:一次次地证明了频繁的广告宣传提高产品的销售量。it在此作形式主语,that引导的主语从句作真正的主语。
5. D 句意:“这项计划能否付诸实践尚未可知。”“这由你决定。”因为从句中含有不确定的语气,故须用whether引导该从句。
6. B 句意:你说人人应该平等,这也是我有异议的地方。where 引导表语从句,相当于the point here,此句还可改为:This is the point that I disagree to.
7. B 句意:朱莉娅能否得到救援还不确定。由句意可知此处要用whether引导主语从句。主语从句位于句首时,不能用if引导。
8. D 句意:我们什么时候开运动会仍然是一个问题。根据句意可知,从句应该用when引导,when在从句中作时间状语。
9. A 句意:那个艺术中心原来是一家工厂,曾生产了数百万台拖拉机。第一个空填what引导表语从句,且what 在从句中作主语;第二个空填where 引导定语从句,且where 在从句中作地点状语。
10. D 句意:如果你从事记者工作,肯定有时得在周末工作。本句中it是形式主语,真正的主语是that sometimes you’ll have to work at weekends。
11. A 句意:“昨晚9点左右我给你打电话,你怎么不接啊?”“不可能。哦,我现在想起来了,当时我在洗澡。”本题考查表语从句的用法,根据上下文可知A项为正确答案。when=the time when...。
12. D it作形式主语,真正的主语是whether引导的名词性从句。句意:金融危机是否会很快结束不会立刻明朗的。若主语从句中去掉soon,也可以选C项,即“金融危机什么时候会结束”。what在从句中没法与其他成分搭配;since“自从……以来”,不合句意。
13. D 句中it为形式主语,that引导的主语从句为真正的主语。句意:对学生们来说,他们应当为未来做好充分的准备,这是很明显的。
14. A what引导表语从句,what在表语从句中作主语。
15. B 第一个空what引导主语从句,在主语从句中作主语;第二个空that引导表语从句,在表语从句中起连接作用。
16. A 句意:在一个问题被解决之前,必须弄清问题本身所在。it must be obvious the problem itself is中,it作形式主语, the problem itself is从句是真正的主语,从句中缺少表语,再根据引导词的意义,可知选what。
17.A whether引导主语从句,what引导表语从句。句意为“我女儿明年是否能上重点大学是我所关心的”。
18.B whatever引导主语从句,no matter what不可以引导主语从句。句意为“无论大说什么,海伦听起来都是对的。那就是她下决心要嫁给他的原因”。
19.D 此处whoever引导主语从句。若选C,则需在其后加who,构成定语从句。
20.A what在此处引导主语从句,并在从句中作主语。
21. A 句意:“为什么不去市中心碰碰运气呢,鲍勃?在那个地方有最好的工作。”句中的downtown是地点状语,where在此引导一个表语从句,在从句中作表语。
22.B 此处whether引导主语从句,与or not连用;what引导表语从句并在从句中作主语。
23.A what引导表语从句,并在表语从句中作takes的宾语。
24.D 句意为“问题是他是否同意你所说的话”。whether引导表语从句。
25.B 此处where引导表语从句。

When I took the first exam, I was 3 to find a 77,C-plus,on my test paper, 4 English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained 5 .
I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that 6 because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77.Again, I 7 with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his 8 .
One more test before the final exam. One more 9 to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, 10 the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my 11 did no good and everything 12 as before.
The last hurdle (障碍) was the final. No matter what 13 I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 14 goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even 15 myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have 16 with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A.I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He 17 to be expecting me.“If I gave you the As you 18 ,you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”
I stared at him, 19 that his analysis and strategy (策略) were correct. I had worked my head 20 ,as I had never done before.

Ⅲ. 1.C 句意:成千上万名外国人在上海世博会开放的当日被吸引来参观。attend参加;attain获得;attract吸引;attach附属于。
2.B join参加;结合,加入;attract吸引,招引;stick刺入,粘住;transfer迁移。由句意可知B项正确。
3.B 此题考查keen的用法。be keen on sb./sth.对某人/某事十分着迷;be keen to do sth.渴望做某事。
4.C be keen to do sth.渴望做某事。
5. B 本题考查动词辨析。develop形成,开发;develop a habit of...形成……习惯。grow“生长,变得”;increase“增加”;raise“提高”。
6.B get this film developed冲洗胶卷。
7. C so引导的倒装句表示后者与前者情况相同。句意:“我的房间晚上很冷。”“我的也是。”
8. B 句意:如果乔的妻子不去参加这次聚会,他也就不去了。根据句意可知只能用neither,并且用倒装。
9.A so had I意为“我也是如此”,且与前句时态一致。
10.C 当表示一个人的多种情况与另一个人一样时,需用so it is/was with sb.或It is/was the same with sb.。“so, neither/nor+助动词/情态动词/连系动词be+主语”只能表示前者的一种情况与后者一样。
Ⅳ. 1.A 本句含义为:由于我一直是一名优秀的学生,我相信我能够学习难学的课程并且真正学到知识。表示“学习”用take。
2.B 本句中表示老师授课时表达出来的思想,应该用present,表示“呈现,表示”。21世纪教育网21世纪教育网
3.A 与上文的Having been a straight-A student, I believed...构成对比可知,当知道自己得了77分时,作者无疑是“震惊的”。
4.C 该句是上句...I was shocked to find a 77...的原因,故用for表示原因。
5.D 与下文中的...but wouldn’t change his 8 .相对应,本句中应表示“虽然我去找Jayne教授,但他并没有被打动”,故用unmoved。A项表示“不改变”;B项表示“不愉快的”;C项表示“不友好的”;D项表示“冷漠的,不被打动的”。
6.B 与文章最后揭示出的Jayne教授给“我”打77分的真实意图相呼应,该空格处应使用meant表示“意味着”。
7.B 当又得了一个77分时,“我”去与Jayne教授评理,表示“评理”用reason。quarrel表示“争吵”,用在学生与老师之间明显不妥;bargain表示“讨价还价”,与语境不符;chat表示“聊天”,自己在生气的情况下不可能去与老师“闲聊”,故三项均可排除。
8.B change表示“改变”;虽然“我”去与他评理,但教授并没有改变“主意”。故空格处须用mind。
9.C 在没法说动教授的情况下,“我”所能做的只有尽全力提高成绩,因而每一次考试都是“我”提高自己的“机会”。故本题应用chance。
10.D 由于自己的竭尽全力学习,“我”领悟到了“一丝不苟”的含义,表示“领悟”用learn。
11.C but一词对于本段中描述的情形是一个转折,也就是说,虽然自己付出了巨大的努力,但是考试成绩并没有改进,故本题应使用effort,表示“努力”。
12.B as before表示“像以前一样”。由11题解析可知,该空格处应该用go。[来源:21世纪教育网]
13.A 最后的障碍是期末考试,而由于整个学期“我”的成绩一直是在C等,所以无论期末考试“我”得到什么等级,“我”的三个C等成绩也不会取消,所以本题应选择grade,表示“成绩等级”。
14.A 既然成绩是C等,那么也就与奖学金无缘了,故本题应选择A项。
15.C 在对奖学金不抱什么希望且对所学的知识已经掌握很好的情况下,“我”在考试前去看了场电影,这里的看电影实际上是在“奖励”自己,故用treat表示“款待”。16.A for once表示“就此一次”。因为自己屡受挫折,因而自己决定这次考试不再“郑重对待”,故用have fun with。
17.D 由于有了前几次“自己”去与Jayne教授的评理,故而出了成绩后,教授“似乎在等着我”再去见他,也就是教授觉得“我”会再去找他。
18.C A项表示“重视”;B项表示“想象”;C项表示“期望”;D项表示“欢迎”。本句句意应为:如果我给了你所希望的A等,你就不会那样努力学习了。因而C项正确。
19.D Jayne教授说明了给“我”C等的理由,“我”也意识到了他的分析和策略是正确的,表示“意识到”用realize。21世纪教育网
20.D work one’s head off表示“拼命工作,拼命学习”,是习惯搭配。

Ⅵ.阅读理解(本题共4小题,每小题2分,满分8分)
High school dropouts (辍学者) earn an average of $9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels (使消除) a common belief why they quit. It’s much more basic than flunking out(因考试不及格而辍学).
Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who are lazy,and perhaps not too bright.So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.
“The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school.” John Bridgeland, a researcher, said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic (美籍西班牙的) students will receive a diploma (证书),and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So, if failing grades don’t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again,John Bridgeland said,“The most dependable finding was that they were bored.” “They found classes uninteresting; they weren’t inspired or motivated. They didn’t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom and their own lives, or to their career aspirations.”
The study found that most teens who do want to drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US,only one state,New Mexico,has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Only four states—California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions. Jeffery Garin, another researcher,says raising the compulsory (义务的)attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school.
“As these dropouts look back,they realize they’ve made a mistake. And anything that sort gives these people an extra push to stick it out and see it through to the end, which is probably a helpful measure.”
New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18. But critics say that forcing the dropouts to stay in school misses the point—the need for reform. It’s been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
What is good education? Is it one that covers as much as possible of human history and achievements,past and present? Or one that gives graduates the ability to find employment promptly when they leave school? Is it a broad education or a specialized one? Should it provide students with a vast collection of facts,or merely train them to think? Should a future engineer gain only the knowledge that will enable him to do his job properly,or would a richer background improve his professional ability as well as his personal life? The debate goes on and on,with good arguments on both sides.
In the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries,the question was not even worth asking. A good education was,of course,a broad one based on the humanities. An educated man knew “something about everything”.He was familiar with the great deeds and the great ideas of the past. He had read extensively; he was able to use his own language correctly and often elegantly. He could join in any conversation about plants,planets,painters or politics. He was at ease in the world,and he knew that his education would open to him any career that he might want to try. Even if he was mostly interested in literature,he had some knowledge of science and technique of his times.
But science and technique have changed a great deal since the latter part of the nineteenth century,and the world has changed,too.It has become more complex and increasingly specialized.There is much more to know in every field.It is not only the scientist and the physician who need a long special training now,but the administrator,the computer expert,the accountant and the business manager.Besides,the multiplication of college graduates has made the competition for jobs much harder than it used to be.The best qualified,the expert,wins.
36.According to the passage,what is good education?
A.Education that makes college students find employment very quickly.
B.Education that provides a student with rich knowledge in every field.
C.Not mentioned in the passage.
D.Education that makes a person become the expert in his special field.21世纪教育网[21世纪教育网]
37.Which of the following pairs of arguments is NOT on good education?21世纪教育网
A.Education throughout history and education for students finding jobs.
B.Education in broad sense and education in special sense.
C.Education for examination and education for quality.
D.Education for finding employment and education for commanding knowledge.
38.Which of the following statements about an educated man in the 18~19th century is NOT true?
A.He was able to use his own language gracefully.
B.If he was interested in literature,he had to learn some knowledge of science and technique.
C.He had read various books.
D.He was familiar with much knowledge in various fields.
39.What should a modern man do to find employment?
A.No matter what career he wants to try,he needs a long special training.[来源:21世纪教育网]
B.He needs to command all the knowledge related to his career.
C.He has to read extensively.
D.He should be familiar with everything in every field.
40.Why is it very difficult for a college student to find employment?
A.Because college education is useless.
B.Because students don’t master adequate skills.
C.Because their education won’t open to them the career they want to try.
D.Because the number of college students is increasing.
B
An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to(归因于)the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.
Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.
Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures—which are open to students from all departments—were drawing crowds of 400,rather than the usual 250.21世纪教育网
“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done,”he added.
University applications rose by 7% last year, but there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the public sector (部门),which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.
A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.
Zack Hocking,the head of Child Trust Funds,said,“It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”
41.Professor John Beath’s lectures are ______.
A.given in a traditional way
B.connected with the present situation
C.open to both students and their parents[来源:21世纪教育网]
D.warmly received by economists
42.Careers in the public sector are more attractive because of their _____.
A.greater stability 21世纪教育网
B.higher pay
C.fewer applications
D.better reputation
43.In the opinion of most parents, _____.
A.economics should be the focus of school teaching
B.more students should be admitted to universities
C.the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened
D.children should solve financial problems themselves
44.According to Hocking, the global economic crisis might make the youngsters _____.
A.wiser in money management
B.have access to better equipment
C.confident about their future careers
D.get jobs in Child Trust Funds
45.What’s the main idea of the text?
A.Universities have received more applications.
B.Economics is attracting an increasing number of students.
C.College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty.
D.Parents are concerned with children’s subject selection.
C
Martyn Poliakoff, the mild-mannered British chemistry professor, has become a well-known YouTube star by blowing up elements in experiments, which are considered too dangerous for schools.
Martyn Poliakoff’s great style—combining whimsical(异想天开的)events, scientific facts and huge explosions—has inspired a generation of students, who weren’t interested in staid(古板的) classroom science lessons. To illustrate the chemical reaction behind the Chernobyl blast, the professor and his assistants exploded a balloon full of hydrogen in a lab. Frustrated by the size of the blast, they repeated the experiment outside with a bigger balloon, creating a blazing red fireball. In another popular film they demonstrated the “barking dog” reaction, which was used to provide light for photography before the invention of the flash.
Prof Poliakoff and his team have produced videos for every single chemical element, and are making themed videos explaining the science behind occasions like Chinese New Year and Bonfire Night. In a recent film, they baked a cake made out of laboratory chemicals.“We couldn’t eat it, and needed to blow it up with liquid oxygen instead.”
The professor has received emails from hundreds of fans and autograph requests from children across the world, and pupils at one American school have even named their projector after him. One of his videos was watched 200,000 times in just 24 hours, after being featured on the YouTube front page. Prof Poliakoff said he was bowled over by the attention.
Robert Rountree, a seventh grade teacher who stumbled across(偶然发现)the films, said that his students warmed to the professor because of his humility(谦逊).“It is chemistry for the YouTube generation—just the right balance of learning about the chemical element, and what is fun about that element”.Several Nobel Prize winning chemists have contacted to express their admiration for Prof Poliakoff’s contribution to science communication.
46.Martyn Poliakoff becomes a YouTube hero mainly because of his _____.
A.special students
B.great personality of humility
C.inventions of chemical elements
D.explosive science videos
47.Which of the following can best describe Prof Poliakoff’s experiments?
A.Interesting but impractical.
B.Whimsical and interesting.
C.Dull and dangerous.
D.Impractical and dangerous.
48.Why did the author mention “a cake made out of laboratory chemicals”?
A.To show Prof Poliakoff’s latest achievement.
B.To share the celebration of birthday with science.
C.To introduce the readers a new way to blow up candles.
D.To attract more people to take up science experiments.
49.Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?
A.Prof Poliakoff made a difference in science communication.
B.Prof Poliakoff was quite excellent at surfing the Internet.
C.Prof Poliakoff was popular with school students.
D.Prof Poliakoff received praise from Nobel Prize winning chemists.
50.It can be inferred from the passage that ______ .
A.Robert Rountree didn’t think highly of Prof Poliakoff’s science
B.Prof Poliakoff hasn’t finished videos for every single chemical element
C.people will have the chance to enjoy videos of Chinese New Year
D.Prof Poliakoff was quite proud of the great attention from the world

What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient’s face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.
51. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was_______.
A. doing shopping B. having a debate
C. reading a message D. leaving for Wyoming
52. The author’s inspiration for the gift came from________.
A. a photo of a flower
B. a story about a kid
C. a call from the mother21世纪教育网
D. a text about Christmas
53. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by ______.
A. the father B. the author
C. William Blake D. Edgar Allan Poe
54. The author made the gift by________.
A. searching for the poems online
B. drawing the background by hand
C. painting the letters in three colors
D. matching the words with pictures
55. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To show how to design images for gifts.
B. To suggest making gifts from one’s heart.
C. To explain how computers help create gifts.
D. To describe the gifts the author has received.
Ⅳ.阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。
[1]Hello. It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello—it is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change—how might we change—if we mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.
[2]It can boost(促进)productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.
[3]Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And, researchers say, pleasant environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying to work downtown.
[4]It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient(接受者).
[5]So maybe we can make the world a better place by ______.After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of well-being.
56.What does the author say about the adults according to Paragraph 1?(Please answer within 8 words.)

46. D 细节理解题。化学教授Martyn Poliakoff凭借别出心裁的爆炸科学视频成为眼下的网络达人。故答案为D项。
47. B 细节理解题。由文章第二段中的Martyn Poliakoff’s great style—combining whimsical(异想天开的) events,scientific facts and huge explosions—has inspired a generation of students,who weren’t interested in staid(古板的)classroom science lessons.可知,Martyn Poliakoff的试验风格独特,很多人对此感兴趣。
48. A 推理判断题。第三段主要涉及的是Martyn Poliakoff的试验成就,此处提到“a cake made out of laboratory chemicals”,目的是展示他最新的成果。
49. B 细节理解题。文章倒数第二段讲的是Martyn Poliakoff的教学视频放到YouTube首页,24小时内点击率就达到20万次。而不是说Martyn Poliakoff擅长上网,B项符合题意。
50. C 推理判断题。由文章第三段Prof Poliakoff...are making themed videos explaining the science behind occasions like Chinese New Year and Bonfire Night.可推测出在不久的将来,人们将能看到揭示庆典场面中的科学如“中国春节庆典的主题短片”。
51.C 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句话“I pulled out...when I came across a message...”可知,作者在阅读来自母亲的一条短信时,看到了一直储存在自己手机里的来自父亲的一条信息,正是这条信息让作者对圣诞礼物的准备有了新的打算。A项中的doing shopping只是作者的妈妈和作者的打算,并未发生;B项中的having a debate出现在作者想到这份特殊礼物之前;D项中怀俄明州在文中出现过,但它只是作者信息中图片的拍摄地点,拍照与准备礼物无关。
52.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The flower...inspired me.”可知,是蒲公英花的照片启发了“我”给父亲准备什么样的礼物。
53.D 推理判断题。此处it指此句的typed that中的that,而由as well可知,此处的that指上句中recited it中的it,it指前句中的the poem,再由The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe...推知,文中the words of it中的it应指Edgar Allan Poe写的诗歌。
54.D 推理判断题。通过文中的第三段可知,作者通过看图片信息获得灵感后,在电脑上输入了父亲所喜爱的诗歌,并为这些诗歌配了寓意深刻的背景图片。故D项“把文字与图片相搭配”符合题意。
55.B 主旨大意题。本题考查考生理解全文、提炼信息、概括总结的能力。对比四个选项,A项意为“如何为礼物设计样式”,与文章中心不符;B项意为“建议发自内心地制作礼物”,体现了作者的写作目的;C项意为“解释如何使用电脑来创造礼物”,偏离了文章的主题;D项意为“描述作者已收到的礼物”,而文章并未提及作者收到礼物,此项本身即为错误选项。
Ⅳ. 56.Adults are not willing to say hello./Adults seldom say hello.
57.School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.
58.saying hello to each other/greeting each other/ saying hello
59.①lowering blood pressure ②relieving stress
③boosting happiness
60.不管出于什么原因,我在城里打招呼得到的回应比在乡村少得多。

Dear Li Ming,
I’m very glad to become your classmate.I know you are worried about your study and don’t know how to adapt yourself to the new environment.Here are some suggestions about it and I hope they can help you.
You know we always become puzzled when we go to a new environment because we don’t know anything about the people around us and even don’t know what to do. I think you should make friends with the students in our class. Then if you have any problem you can ask us or our teachers for help. We’ll try our best to help you.
After class,I’ll show you around our school and tell you something about it. If you have any problem,please tell me and I will give you my advice not only on study but also on your life here.
All in all,I hope you can adapt yourself to the new environment and we can become good friends.
Best regards,

Ⅵ.阅读理解(共3小题;每小题2分,满分6分)
When we talk about breaking records in the Olympic Games, we came across the issue of performance-improving drugs. These drugs are originally developed to help people with illnesses, but in the wrong hands, they create supreme athletes making them faster and stronger than is normal for human beings. Taking these drugs is known as “doping” and although they improve performance, they also cause serious health problems in later life for those who abuse them.
The sports world does not tolerate doping as it is a fundamental form of cheating. Ben Johnson would still be the 100 metres world record holder if he had not been caught taking drugs in the 1988 Olympics. Other records remain doubtful, like Florence Griffith’s 100 metres record back in 1988. Did she take drugs?21世纪教育网
Doping is not only a problem in athletes, it is part of every sport when athletes seek to achieve beyond their natural limits and are prepared to cheat to do so. In 2006 cycling fans worldwide were shocked when the winner of the annual cycling race, the Tour de France, was caught doping. Floyd Landis made several lame excuses blaming medicine he had been taking for injury but these were all in vain. He failed two drug tests.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to catch athletes using illegal drugs. It is compulsory for winners to be tested but other participants are only tested at random. New drugs are developed all the time and drug tests for sporting events are often one step behind.
However, doping is not the only thing we need to worry about. Unless we are careful, “gene therapy(基因治疗)” will be the next big threat. For medical purposes, scientists have already found ways to build muscle and increase strength by changing people’s genes. Gene therapy is very controversial and many people oppose further research into it. If gene therapy were used now, it would be almost impossible to find out. In the future, athletes who have their genes changed might be able to do the 100 metres dash in just 8 seconds or the marathon in less than two hours.
In today’s world, winners are celebrated and treated as heroes, but if doping and gene therapy continue to affect the outcomes of major sporting events, the word “hero” will have lost all meaning.
1. Doping can do the following but ________.
A. help people with illnesses
B. help athletes build muscles
C. cause serious health problems
D. make athletes perform better
2. Which of the following statements is true about “gene therapy”?
A. Gene therapy has caused serious problems in the sporting world.
B. Gene therapy will bring about more “sports heroes” in the future.
C. Gene therapy is opposed by all people because of its bad effects.21世纪教育网
D. Gene therapy is originally developed for medical purposes.21世纪教育网
3. What’s the general idea of the whole passage?
A. It’s hard to catch athletes doping because drug tests are very slow.
B. Doping is a huge problem in the sports world that can never be solved.
C. The present and future of the sports world is being affected by doping and gene therapy.
D. Ben Johnson, Florence Griffith and Floyd Landis have all shocked the world by their speed.

Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited?
At present, Internet Slang, such as “GG” “MM” “Xia Mi”, has become popular among the teenagers.
There are different opinions on Internet Slang. Some students think Internet Slang is vivid, fashionable and full of humor and intelligence. Besides, it makes chatting on the Internet quicker.
However, some other students think Internet Slang lacks the depth of thought and is too simple. Besides, it is hard to understand and not accepted by most people. The words sometimes might make people confused, even resulting in misunderstanding.
Every coin has two sides. In my opinion, living in the Information Age, if we don’t know the Internet Slang, we seem to fall behind. It will be OK as long as these terms are used correctly in proper situations.

Ⅲ. 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
When John Lewis was growing up in Alabama,he was not allowed to eat at many restaurants or drink from the same water fountain as white children. His parents were not allowed to vote.“I couldn’t even go to the county public library and check a book out,” Lewis said.“The library was for whites only.”
That was more than 30 years ago. Today,John Lewis is a lawmaker (立法者) in the U.S. Congress. “If someone had told me in 1963 that one day I would be in Congress,I would have said,‘You’re crazy!’”Lewis said.
African-Americans were freed from slavery in 1865.But many people would not hire blacks for jobs or sell them houses. Blacks could not use many public buildings or even ride in the front of a bus in some places.
In the 1950s and 1960s,that began to change. Blacks were tired of being treated so unfairly. They wanted the same civil rights that whites enjoyed. In 1963,more than 200,000 people gathered in Washington D.C.,for the most famous march of all. They asked the government to give blacks equal rights. Many important people,like John Lewis and Martin Luther King,made speeches that day.“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character,” King said.
After the march,many laws were passed to give blacks equal rights. One law said that restaurants and other public places must serve people no matter what colour they are. Another law made it easier for blacks to register (登记) to vote.
Today,these laws help make sure blacks and whites get treated equally. But many people say this country still has a long way to go.“I think there is still a distance we must travel,”John Lewis said.“I’d like to see an open society where we can forget about race and colour and see people as people.”
36. Why could not Lewis go to the county public library when he was young?
A. Because the library was intended for white people.
B. Because his parents didn’t allow him to go there.
C. Because he could not read any books.
D. Because he found it difficult to get a book on blacks.
37.If Lewis was told to work in the U.S Congress 30 years ago,he would feel ________.
A. confident B. doubtful
C.mad D. glad
38. What happened in 1963 according to the passage?
A. John Lewis worked in the U.S. Congress as a lawmaker.
B. Houses were allowed to be sold to blacks.
C. Over 200,000 people gathered in Washington D. C. for a famous march.
D. Slavery was abolished in the USA.
39.Which of the following about the African-Americans is NOT true?
A. They once couldn’t drink from the same water fountain with white people.
B They went through slavery.
C. They still can’t go to the same restaurants with white people.
D. They once couldn’t ride in the front of a bus in some places.
40. According to what Lewis said in the last paragraph, what can we infer?
A. America is an open society welcoming people of different colours.
B. American blacks failed to be seen as American people.
C. American blacks have to fight for right again as I have marched.
D. American blacks are still treated somewhat unfair in America.
B
Among rich countries,people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France,Spain and Germany,and it is growing at a similar speed.
In most countries and at most times in history,as people have become richer they have chosen to work less .In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern,and hours of work have fallen sharply But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly low taxes in America,which increase the rewards (回报) to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.
Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (国内生产总值).So the United States has produced more per worker than,say,France. The United States also has more of its people at work,while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France,though productivity per hour worked is the same.
It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen,work has to be compared with other values like family life,which often get lost in its interest It is too early to explain the different trends (趋势) in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975,while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance (平衡)?
41. From the text we know that the author ______.
A. believes that longer working hours is better
B. prefers shorter working hours to longer ones
C. says nothing certain about which pattern is better
D. thinks neither of the patterns is good
42. Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?
A. Spain. B. France.
C. Germany. D. America.
43.In the last paragraph,the underlined word “which” refers to _______.
A. family life B. situations
C. other values D. trends
44.What message can we get from the text?
A. The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.
B. Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.
C. People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.
D. Americans are happier than Europeans.
45. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Americans and Europeans
B. Staying at Home
C. Work and Productivity
D. Work and Happiness

The Tradition of Honeymoon
Tradition says that at the beginning of the sixth century one of the tribes (部落) in Ireland was called Celt. The chief (酋长) of Celt had a beautiful daughter,named Ellis,who was from childhood,fond of having honey. When she grew up,lots of knights (骑士) and princes from neighbouring countries came to propose marriage to her. Ellis fell in love with a young master of a southern tribe who was among the proposers. They were soon in love with each other. At last they decided to get married. On the wedding day Ellis entertained (款待) the honoured guests with honey wine made from the honey which had been presented by the young master. After drinking the wine the guests sang high praise for it. They said the wine was as sweet as love. But there was too much wine for them to drink up. The bride (新娘) and bridegroom (新郎) continued drinking it the next day. They were intoxicated (沉醉) with the sweet honey wine. It took the young couple a whole month to drink it up.
From then on it was very popular among the local people to drink honey wine within the first month after the man and woman’s marriage. They thought that it stood for the sweetness and happiness of the newly-married couple. Later on it spread far and wide. People named the first month after marriage honeymoon (蜜月).

D. The bridegroom’s brightness.
49 How long did it take the bride and bridegroom to drink up the remaining honey wine?

B. Around a month.
C. Less than a month.

Rock and roll music developed in the United States in the early 1950s.It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African-American musicians.
Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music. Elvis Presley,Chuck Berry,the Beach Boys,and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960s.All were American. Then,in 1964,a new rock and roll group from England invaded America: the Beatles.
Some people say the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever. Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians,including Chuck Berry. But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical group before them.
The Beatles released (发行) their first album in the United States in 1964,when all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles. In 1967,they released an album called “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”.It was one of the first “concept” albums. That is,all the songs were linked by a common story or idea.21世纪教育网
The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become popular in America. The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960s that is still performing and recording today. In 1965,the group recorded one of its most famous songs “Satisfaction”.[来源:21世纪教育网]
The musical instrument most linked to rock and roll is the guitar. Experts say Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential guitar players in rock and roll during the late 1960s.His “Purple Haze” was liked by many people.
By the 1970s,rock and roll music became known as rock music. It expanded into many new forms. For example,there was country rock,hard rock,acid rock,heavy metal rock,punk rock,jazz rock,and glitter rock.
In the middle 1970s,experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became popular with their album “Born to Run”. Springsteen’s music was like the lively rock and roll music of the early 1960s.Many of his songs were about social issues. He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam.

Ⅳ.阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。
Sweet potatoes are fat-free,high in fiber and full of the vitamins that research suggests reduce your risk of life-shortening diseases. To______ ,we must eat more fruits and vegetables,and sweet potatoes are a great source of beta carotene (胡萝卜素)and other carotenoids. According to a study of the diets of almost 90,000 nurses,eating about one cup a day of fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids (which the body turns into vitamin A) can cut your risk of stroke (中风) in half and reduce your risk of heart disease by 22 percent. Other research suggests beta carotene protects against breast,lung and stomach cancers.
Beta carotene is the most famous member of the carotenoid family. In fact,a sweet potato contains nearly 12 mg of beta carotene (anti-aging experts usually suggest 6 to 11 mg per day).Sweet potatoes are also a low-fat source of vitamin E. Research has linked high E diets with a lower risk of heart disease. This vitamin pill in an orange jacket also packs vitamin C—it has more C than apricots (杏).Research suggests that vitamin C protects against diseases ranging from cataracts (an eye disease) to cancer. In addition,a UCLA (University of California,Los Angeles) study linked high vitamin C diets with a long life. Recent studies have showed that antioxidant vitamins C,E and beta carotene fight a fierce battle against free radicals (自由基),which cause cell damage and lead to various illnesses. Therefore,to keep fit,eat more sweet potatoes.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案与解析Ⅰ. 1. C 句意:这是前三卷,第四卷将于下个月出版。come about发生,造成。come out出版,为不及物动词短语,不能用于被动结构。根据句中的逗号且句中无连词可知,逗号后部分为独立主格结构,根据时间状语next month可知用动词不定式表将来,故选C。
2. B 根据句中的第一个逗号,且无连词可知此处为非限制性定语从句,排除C。be devoted to对……深爱着的,whom代替先行词her son。句意:她非常疼爱的儿子在战斗中牺牲了,这使得她悲痛万分。故选B。
3. B “比……有优势”需用介词over。句意为“她富裕的家庭让她比班上其他同学有某些优势”。
4. B in honour of为了纪念;in harmony with与……一致;in touch with保持联系;in favour of支持。句意:母亲经常提醒我们要言行一致。
5. C be blessed with有幸;be bored with厌烦;take advantage of利用;take charge of负责。句意:我打算利用这次旅行买些我们需要的东西。
6. B 在It was the first time that...句型中,从句中谓语动词常用过去式。句意:这是我第一次独自完成这么困难的任务。我简直不敢相信!
7. B the moment引导时间状语从句,意为“一……就……”。
8. A approach作“(处理问题的)方法”讲时,后接介词to。句意:经过许多年的努力,李教授提出了一种教外语的新方法。
9. C before引导时间状语从句。句意为“昨晚有人半夜给我打电话,但我还没来得及接电话就挂了”。
10. C since意为“从……以来”,引导时间状语从句。
11. A otherwise否则;besides而且,此外;however然而;therefore因此。根据答语“是的”可知他从汽车修理厂开出了车,答语后句又表述了一种虚拟的情况,要不然“我”不可能开车准时去参加聚会,故选A。
12. B 句意:这个问题远非你想象得那么容易。问题根本没有被解决。far from远远不,后可跟形容词、动词的-ing形式、名词或代词。apart from除……之外;aside from除了;free from不受……损害。
13. C 问句句意:“今晚我打算去听摇滚音乐会。你想和我一起去吗?”根据答语中的“太吵闹了”可知那不是“我”所喜欢的事(It isn’t my cup of tea.)。
14. D or rather更确切地说;other than除了;less than不到,少于;rather than而不是。句意为“真正的友谊是预见别人的需求而不是声明自己的需求”。
15. B 此题考查不定式的省略及mean后面接不定式和动词 -ing 形式的区别。mean to do sth.打算做某事;mean doing sth. 意味着做某事。根据语境可知mean后应跟动词不定式,即“You didn’t mean to hurt me.”,但为了避免重复,省略动词,只保留不定式符号to。
Ⅱ. 16. C 句意:我的哥哥和他的朋友都是重金属乐队“黑色星期三”的粉丝。由下文33空后的I became a Black Wednesday fan too...及句意可知选C。member 成员;friend 朋友;volunteer 志愿者,均不符合题意。
17. B 句意:当他们得知“黑色星期三”乐队要来我们当地的剧院演出时,他们都买了演出的门票。guess猜想;discover发现;think 想;predict 预测。由句意可知B项正确。
18. D 句意同17题。由上一句可知“黑色星期三”乐队要来剧院演出,而看演出是需要买“门票”的,故选D。
19. B 句意:……所以我哥哥把那张票给了我。offer sb. sth. 主动给予某人某物。 book 预订;return 归还;find 发现,均不符合句意。
20. C 句意:我兴奋极了!由哥哥给“我”门票,“我”能去看演出可推知“我”很兴奋。relaxed 放松的;embarrassed窘迫的;excited 激动的;encouraged 受到鼓舞的。由句意可知C项正确。
21. A 句意:当我们都找到我们的座位时,我记得剧院里传出的激动的嘈杂声。seat 座位;entrance 入口;spot 点;space 空间。由常识可知,进入剧院看演出要根据票找到自己的座位,故选A。

26. A 句意:……音乐的声音和喷气发动机的声音一样大。由上句句意可知,音乐声确实很大。故选A。
27. A 句意:我感觉到抑扬顿挫的鼓点声和低音就像敲在我心上一样。feel 感觉;touch触摸;enjoy 享受;digest 消化。这儿指听到音乐的一种感受,而非真正敲在心上,根据句意故选A。
28. D 句意:我只记得我真的非常喜欢那场演出,并且不想让它结束。由前一句说不记得他们演奏的什么曲目得知后面这句表达的是“只记得当时的感受”。just remember与前面的can’t recall 相对应。故选D。
29. C 句意同28题。因为喜欢所以不希望他们结束演出。continue继续;delay耽误;finish结束,完成;change 改变。由句意知选C。
30. B 句意:我们离开了剧院……由上文的在当地剧院演出及演出结束得知选B。
31. D 句意:我感觉到有点眩晕,就像刚刚睡了一大觉醒来的感觉一样。escape逃脱;travel 旅行;benefit 受益;wake 醒来。根据句意 知选D。21世纪教育网
32. C 句意:最后一首歌的声音一直在我耳边回响。ache 疼痛;burn 燃烧;ring 回响;roll 发出隆隆声,轰鸣。根据句意 知 选C。

Ⅲ.36. A 细节理解题。根据第一段的“The library was for whites only.”可知,当时的图书馆只供白人使用。
37. B 推理判断题。结合第二段的“You’re crazy!”可知,三十年前,美国的黑人还无法享受平等的权利,所以当时如果有人对Lewis说他可以在国会工作,他绝对是不相信的。
38. C 细节理解题。根据第四段第四句可知,1963年超过20万的人聚集在华盛顿,进行了一次最负盛名的游行活动。
39. C 细节理解题。从第一段可知A正确;由第三段可知B、D正确,从第五段可知C不正确。
40. D 推理判断题。从最后一段的“I think there is still a distance we must travel...”可知,Lewis认为黑人要获得真正的平等的权利还需要继续努力,由此推断,美国黑人目前在某种程度上仍被不公平地对待。
41. C 从第四段第一句话“It is not clear which of the two situations is better.”可见作者也未明确说出哪一种工作模式更好,故选择C项。
42. D 从第三段第三句话“The United States also has more of its people at work...”可知D项正确。
43. C which在此处引导一个非限制性定语从句,指代先行词other values,所以选择C项。
44. B第二段最后两句“One reason may be greatly low taxes in America,which increase the rewards (回报) to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.”说明了美国人工作时间长的两个原因。因此B项是正确的。

48. C 细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“After drinking the wine the guests sang high praise for it.”可知客人赞扬的是蜂蜜酒,因此C项正确。
49 D 细节理解题。从文章第一段最后一句“It took the young couple a whole month to drink it up.”可以看出D项正确。
50. A 主旨大意题。文章虽讲到了凯尔特部落的一些情况,埃利斯和她的丈夫以及埃利斯的爱好,但这都不是文章的重点所在,故可排除B、C、D三项。
51. B 主旨大意题。本文主要通过对著名摇滚乐队及乐手的介绍,描述了摇滚音乐的发展过程。
52. A 细节理解题。B、C、D三项都是乐队组合或歌手和他们的作品相匹配,文中提到的the Beatles的作品是Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band; Chuck Berry是美国一个摇滚乐手的名字。
53. C 细节理解题。从第四段第一句话可知A正确;从第五段第一句话可知B正确;从第三段第二句话可知D正确;从第五段倒数第二句话可知C不正确。
54. D 细节判断题。从文章最后一段倒数第二句可知。
55. D 推理判断题。从文章第一段中“It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African-American musicians.”可知D项正确。
Ⅳ. 56. On Sweet Potatoes/Eat More Sweet Potatoes/Sweet Potatoes Keep You Fit
57.Research suggests that vitamin C protects against diseases ranging from cataracts (an eye disease) to cancer.
58. stay healthy/keep fit
59. Eating about one cup a day of fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids.

Ⅴ. One possible version:
As far as I am concerned,I don’t agree with the children’s view that listening to music aids study.
Some of my classmates have the same opinion as the children mentioned above. They enjoy listening to music while studying. They say without music,it’s too quiet and they can’t focus on study and will fall asleep soon.
But it isn’t my case. I can’t study if there is too much noise,and I find music particularly distracting. Especially,loud,energetic music with a heavy beat will be the last thing I want to hear when I try to concentrate on my books,not to mention the case that my test scores will improve if I listen to music when I revise. So pay more attention to your study without listening to music.

21世纪教育网Ⅰ.1. D 句意:一个周五,我们正在打包裹动身去过周末,就在这时我女儿听到了呼救声。 表示“正在做某事……就在这时(突然)……”用be doing sth. when...,所以D项正确。
2. D 句意:正如报道的那样,清华大学已建校100年了。when“当……时候”; before “在……之前”;after “在……之后”;since “自从”。It is some time since...为固定句型。根据句意可确定正确选项为D。
3.D 本题考查时态。句意:Hilda当时正在跳舞,但看到我时停下来。因此用过去进行时。
4.D “It is + some time+ since...”是一个比较常用的表述时间的句型,意为“自……以来有多久”。C项也可表示“在……后”,但与之对应的时态应该是一般过去时或过去完成时。
5.C 由于表述的是一个事实,所以用一般现在时。
6. A 考查I’d like to do sth.这一结构。简略答语中省略动词,只保留动词不定式符号。
7. A as told=as they were told,此处是as引导方式状语从句的省略。当从句主语与主句主语一致,且谓语动词含有be时,将从句的主语和be省略。
8.C 考查省略。as后面省略了it was,即goes well as it was planned,为了避免重复,省略了主语和be动词。
9.D 考查省略。答语句意为“即使被邀请,我也不去”。even though后省略了主语和谓语。
10. B that后跟宾语从句,宾语从句中含有一个主从句,if从句使用了省略句式,完整的形式应为:if it is not carefully dealt with,it指代主句中的situation。
11. D 本题考查比较级的特殊用法与“used to do...”短语的用法,并且be不能省略。
12. D 此题考查定语从句引导词的选用。one point作介词on的宾语,因此应选用关系代词或者省略。
13. D 答句为That sounds good.的省略形式,故选D。21世纪教育网
14. B 根据yes可以判断他回来得早,所以用when引导时间状语从句,表示“当……的时候”。
15. B 根据句意可知,此处应用while“当……的时候”来强调“在……期间”。
16. D 由句意可知,空白处应表示“既然”之意,四个选项中只有when可表示此意。
17. D 句意:那真是个美妙的夜晚,我很多年都没有这么快乐了。在“It is/has been +一段时间+since...”句型中,若since引导的从句的谓语动词为延续性动词,则表示“不做某事已有多长时间了”。
18. A 本题考查连词。while在此表示转折,意为“但是,而”。
19. C 本题考查连词。when在此处表示“正在这时,突然”,常用结构“was/were doing(about to do)+when+一般过去时态”,意为“一件事情正在进行(或正要发生),这时,另一件事发生了”。
20. D 本题考查连词,由句意可知此处考查not...until结构,意为“直到……才”。
21. D 根据答语中的yes可知,此处应用肯定形式,故可以排除选项B、C。答句句意:不,她参加了。上句中已经出现了attend,所以答句中的动词应用did来替代。
22. D as if后面可以用省略句,省略的部分为主语和be动词。
23. B 根据题意可知,应选B项。B项为省略关系代词的定语从句。turn to sb.意为“向某人求助”。
24. B 本题考查交际用语。问句意为“今天你能完成报告吗?”答句B的意思是“我想能吧”,为省略结构,其完整的形式应为:I hope I will be able to finish my report today.其他三项均不符合题意。
25. A 本题考查状语从句的省略。perform与主语the works of Beethoven之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,且表完成,故应选A项。
26. B mean to do sth.表示“打算做某事”,而mean doing sth.表示“意味着做某事”。根据语境知需用动词不定式作宾语,此处省略了不定式短语,只保留了不定式符号to。
27. A 本题考查状语从句的省略。选择If not,其完整的形式应为If you don’t find a seat quickly。
28.A 空格所在句句意:我还没来得及说一句话他就冲出了房间。before此处意为“没来得及……就……”。
29.C 现在分词lacking与though连用作让步状语,相当于让步状语从句“Though the area lacks natural resources.”。解此题的关键还要掌握lack一词的用法:lack sth.(lack为及物动词);for lack of(lack为名词);be lacking in(lacking为形容词)。该题句意为:尽管缺乏自然资源,该地区仍很发达。
30.A be based on...意为“以……为基础”,在句中常以过去分词作宾语或状语的形式出现。[来源:21世纪教育网]
Ⅱ. 1. How beautiful! 2. How hard!
3. At her mother’s she passed many happy days.

Ⅳ.阅读表达(共5小题;每小题4分,满分20分)
Paris is the capital of France. It is also one of the most famous cities in the world.
Paris is called “the City of Light”. It is also an international fashion center. What modern women are wearing in Paris will soon be worn by many women in other parts of the world. Paris is also a famous center of education. For example, the headquarters of UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific,and Cultural Organization, is in Paris.
The Seine River divides the city into two parts. Thirty-two bridges cross this scenic river. The oldest and perhaps most well-known is the Pont Neuf, which was built in the sixteenth century. The Sorbonne, a famous university, lies on the left bank of the river. The beautiful white church Sacre Coeur lies on top of the hill called Montmartre on the right bank of the Seine River.
There are______ in Paris, such as the famous museum, the Louvre, as well as the cathedral of Notre Dame. However,the most famous landmark in this city must be the Eiffel Tower.
Paris is named after a group of people called the Parisii. They built a small village on an island in the middle of the Seine River about two thousand years ago. This island, called the lle de la Cite, is where Notre Dame is located. Today around eight million people live in the Paris area.

11. pioneers of the American West
12. pioneered the way to space
13. full of humour 14.a sense of humour
15. be humorous
Ⅲ. 1.B 本题考查习惯用语。不定式或动名词的否定式均须在其前加not或never,可先排除A、C两项;动词apologize后要接for短语,常用apologize to sb. for doing/having done sth.,不接动词不定式,故答案为B。
2.C 在英语交际中,拒绝邀请,习惯用“I’m sorry but...” “I’d like to, but...”“If you don’t mind, I’d rather...” “No, thanks...”,显然答案是C。选项D比较符合中国人的习惯,具有很强的干扰性。
做以上类型的题可以毫不犹豫,一步到位,不必浪费无谓的时间。[21世纪教育网
3.B 分析此题知,but和usually是关键词,由usually可排除C、D两项,由but可排除A项,只有B项符合题意。
4.B 分析本题,空格前有逗号,又无连词,所以此句为非限制性定语从句,故答案选B。
5.D 在做这道题时,不少考生误用了“表示前面的话里或上文提到过的人或事物要用定冠词”这一语法规则,将A项作为正确答案。其实,这里的black one并非特指上文提到的pen。答话人表达的是“是一支黑色的钢笔吗?”这一意思,故正确答案是D。
6.A so,such都表示“如此(的),这样(的)”。一般情况下,such修饰名词,so修饰形容词和副词。当名词前有many, much, few, little等数量词修饰时用so不用such。此句关键词little表示“小”,所以答案应选A。
7.B 此题误选C项的考生占一定比例,主要原因是受中文的影响,即“我不同意你说的人人平等”。分析关键词disagree是不及物动词,表示在某一点上“不同意”,正确答案应该是B,表示“你说人人平等,在这一点上我不敢苟同”。
8.D 将此句变为陈述句:“This museum is they visited last month.”很明显此句缺少表语,故答案应选D。
9.D 在本题中,撇开冗余信息,可清楚看到主干为we should do more such exercises as those,故答案应选D。
10.C “出席会议”习惯用“be present at a meeting”表示;在“名词+as well as+名词”结构作主语时,要求谓语动词与第一个名词保持一致,故答案为C。
11.D 根据“一致”原则,A、D两项都正确,但考虑到后面的辅助信息,只有D选项符合对话的语意。
12.A far from远非;完全不;along with与……一起;next to几乎,差不多;紧临着;regardless of不管,不顾。句意:这次艺术展绝不是一次失败,而是一次巨大的成功。句中a failure与a success为抽象名词具体化,分别表示“失败的人/事”和“成功的人/事”。
13.C 句意:“你想出新的主意了吗?”“是的,我过会儿告诉你。”come about“发生”;come into“进入,得到”;come up with“想出”;come out with“说出,提出”。
14.B 由since last month可知应该用现在完成时,首先排除A、D。再根据句意可知应该选B。rise是不及物动词,意为“上升”,符合题意。arise意为“起立,出现”,不符合语境。
15.D 句意:昨天她在百货商店购物时偶遇了一位老朋友。turn down调低,拒绝;deal with处理,对付;take after与……相像;come across偶然碰到。根据句意可确定选D项。
Ⅳ.1. The City of Paris 2. Headquarters.
3. Paris is named after a group of people called the Parisii.
4. many other famous places
5.巴黎被称为“不夜城”。它也是国际时装中心。巴黎的时尚女性所穿的服装很快就会在世界上其他地方的很多女士身上见到。

Ⅴ.阅读填空(共4小题;每小题2分,满分8分)
The Andes (安第斯山脉) regions of South America have a wide variety of musical traditions. Huayno is the name given to the traditional music of the Andes. While there is a long tradition of musical heritage in the Andes,today’s music is influenced by the Native South Americans,the Spanish,and the Africans brought to the area as slaves. Music in the Andes is part of everyday life,such as music for agricultural labour,for building houses,for funerals,and for marketing cattle,sheep and goats. There are also a large number of traditional dances and traditional dance songs.
Lyrics of the songs are in both Spanish and Quechua (盖丘亚语),the subjects of which include the earth,the seasons,harvest time,love,family,children and the stars. Types of instruments include flutes,native guitars and drums.
Waltzes are popular in Peru. While it is true that they have European roots,waltzes have developed into a unique form in Peru. Salsa music is more popular on the coasts of Peru and is also the number one type of music in other South American countries although it is typically thought of as a Cuban form.
Soca is a form of music popular in the Caribbean area. It is dance music,with a rhythmic one-two beat. A form of dance similar to soca but more popular in the south is the meringue (默朗格舞).The words to the song are sung in Spanish or a different Latin American language. The dances and the rhythms are similar,however. The most famous dance and song of Argentina is the tango,which began in the mid-19th century. Tango is more than music—it contains a particular language,certain usage and customs.
Before the arrival of the Spanish,the main instruments used in the Andes were wind instruments,especially flutes and drums. The biggest Spanish influence on musical instruments is in the form of guitar-based instruments. Along with guitars,the Spanish brought instruments such as harps (竖琴),mandolins (曼陀林),violins,flutes,and oboes (双簧管)to South American.
Fill in the blanks with proper words according to the passage.
1. _______is the name given to the traditional music of the Andes.
2.South American music is affected by the Native South Americans,the Africans and _______.
3. Soca is a form of music popular in _______ area.
4. ________ is the most famous dance and song of Argentina.

答案与解析
1.D 考查虚拟语气。句意:没有共同立场,他们是不会那么容易达成协议的。尽管句中没有明确的时间状语,但从so easily可知协议在过去某一时间已经达成,故用wouldn’t have reached表示对过去情况的虚拟。
2.B 考查虚拟语气。句意:我们不知道他的号码,否则我们就给他打电话了。从前一句可以看出是过去的事情,表示与过去事实相反的假设,主句应用would have done,故选B。
3.B 考查虚拟语气。句意:要不是那场暴风雨,我们的旅程会很愉快的,可我们却不得不半路返回。可见,这是对过去进行虚拟,主句应该用would have done构成。
4.D 考查虚拟语气。句意:要是我精通统计学技术,就会节约大量的时间和精力。had一词表明了这是对过去进行虚拟,故主句谓语用would have done。
5.B 考查虚拟语气。How I wish后常用虚拟语气形式,表示与过去事实不相符合的愿望,从句多用“had+过去分词”结构。句意为“我多么希望当时能采纳布朗先生提出的应对措施啊”(事实上当时没有采纳)。
6.B 考查虚拟语气。insist后的宾语从句若表示“坚持要别人做某事”,则用虚拟语气;若表示对一种存在现象的看法时,则不用虚拟语气。
7.B 考查虚拟语气。would rather后跟that从句要用虚拟语气,从how worried I was可知,此处表示与过去事实相反,要用“had +过去分词”结构。21世纪教育网
8.C 考查虚拟语气。句意: “你没有去参加他们的聚会吗?”“是的,妈妈宁愿我去。”would rather后接从句,谓语需用虚拟语气。完整的说法应为:. . . my mother would rather I had gone there. 。
9.D 考查虚拟语气。句意: 尽管报告厅里没有其他人,胡先生站在台上好像他正在被人注视着并期盼着作报告。as if后接从句,常用虚拟语气。
10.C 考查虚拟语气。根据句中的before you went to bed可知wish后接从句表示的是与过去事实相反的情况,因此从句的谓语用过去完成时态。
11.D 考查状语从句的引导词。根据前后句子逻辑,此处使用as long as引导一个条件状语从句。
12.D 考查状语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处选用连词引导一个从句,故只能选D项,意为“第一次……的时候”。[来源:21世纪教育网]
13.A 考查状语从句。此处为句型It will be... before... 表示“还需要多久才……”,before引导一个时间状语从句。21世纪教育网
14.B 本题考查时态和语态。依据句意,第一空应使用现在完成时,且表示被动;另外,如果主语为物,且与well, easily, perfectly等连用表示事物的性质或状态时,该类动词常用主动表被动,如sell, wash, write, read 等。故本题正确答案为B。
15.B 考查状语从句。句意:依照英格兰法律,一个人在未经证实有罪之前被视为无罪。此处until用于肯定句,表示“直到”。
16.D 考查状语从句。句意:有时候即使你知道你做错了,并且你也感觉到不好意思, 但说声对不起还是需要一些勇气的。根据句意知,此处使用even though引导一个让步状语从句。
17.D 考查省略和非谓语动词。第一空I为enter动作的执行者,故使用现在分词;第二空使用现在分词作宾语补足语。
18.A 考查状语从句。句意:只有拿到学生证我们才能参加比赛。before意为“只有……才”,符合
语境。
19.B 考查状语从句。此处使用though引导让步状语从句。此答句补充完整则为:No, though he has been questioned many times, the thief hasn’t admitted his crime by now. 。
20.C 考查状语从句。这里的go是不及物动词,所以其后不接名词性从句,依据句意“你可以去你喜欢去玩的地方”,得出C项正确。
21.A 考查状语从句。until用于肯定句是表示动作停止的时间,此处表示climb的动作到until表示的时间就停止了。
22.B 考查动词时态。现在完成时可以用于时间或条件等状语从句中,表示将要做某个动作之前必须先要完成的动作,故此处until后面的谓语可以使用现在完成时。
23.A 考查状语从句。此处使用even though引导一个让步状语从句。
24.A 考查状语从句的省略。此处主句和从句主语相同,if后面省去了they are。25.B 考查状语从句的省略。此处主句和从句主语相同,as if后省去了she was。
26.B 考查状语从句。根据句意,此处表示否定条件,故使用unless。
27.A 考查状语从句。此处as if引导一个方式状语从句。
28.D 考查状语从句。句意:既然你不付出,你怎么能够期望回报呢?when意为“既然”,引导一个让步状语从句,一般置于主句之后。
29.A 考查状语从句。句意:目前先住在这个房间吧,我们一有更大的房间就提供给你。as soon as引导时间状语从句。
30.A 考查状语从句的省略。此处this problem与keep,make之间为动宾关系,故排除C、D两项;remain不用被动结构,故排除B项;此处if后面省略了it is。

One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I 1 the car by the roadside, across the street from where she worked, and waited for her.
As I looked outside the car window to my right, there was a small park 2 I saw a little boy, around one and a half to two years old, running 3 on the grass as his mother watched from a short 4 . The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been 5 from some sort of prison. The boy would then 6 to the grass, get up, and without 7 or without looking back at his 8 , run as fast as he could, again, still with a 9 on his face, as if nothing had happened.
However, with kids when they fall down, they don't perceive(觉察,感知) their falling down as 10 , but instead, they treat it as a learning 11 . They feel forced to try and try again until they succeed. They have not 12 "falling down" with the word "failure" yet, thus they don't know how to feel the 13 which accompanies failure.
While I was 14 by the boy's persistence, I was equally touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so 15 ...so natural. No signs of fear, nervousness, or of being 16 .
His only aim was to run freely and to do it as 17 as he could. He didn't seem to be bothered by the 18 that maybe someone would see him fall and that it would be 19 if he did fall. No, all that mattered to him was to 20 the task or activity at hand to the best of his ability. I have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life.

阅读理解(共4小题;每小题2.5分,满分10分)
My husband works at Silicon Valley; less than 50 people are employed at his company. His job needs he travel a lot to meet with partners, most of whom seem to be on the east coast (of course we live on the west coast). It seems that most every week he's traveling, which adds business on our life at home. In the 18 years that we've been married, and the 4 years before that, every other job he had needed a great deal of travel. I worked full time up until 2007.
Earlier in our marriage, when we had three children under six, it was like a pressure cooker in our house. Some months are a bit terrible when you have a husband in sales. I have to manage our money carefully. But I have to say our family, our marriage and being a parent are all so pleasing right now.
Ten years ago, there were times when I thought to myself " I'm not going to take it anymore!" But having been married before, I didn't want divorce to be a decision. Going through those hard times in our marriage makes these times so much sweeter and worthwhile. I'm thankful for the little things, like being home to help my children with their homework, cooking dinner every night, and talking to my husband before his business meeting the next morning. I used to tell my husband that the family was on a carousel(旋转木马), not a roller coaster(过山车). When he left for a trip, our carousel would keep on going round-and-round and he'd have to be able to jump back on and not miss a beat upon his return.
1. The writer’s husband has to travel a lot because _____.
A. he likes to visit different interest of places

B. had found a new lover
C. planned to marry again 21世纪教育网
D. planned to buy nothing
4. After the hard times in her marriage the writer feel ______.

C. thankful for life D. regretful for life
答案与解析
1.archaeologist;prehistoric 2.existence 3.sharpened 4.disappeared 5.exposure
1.C 本题考查动词辨析。recommend表示“推荐”。
2.D 本题考查动词辨析。suggest 表示“暗示,表明”时,从句不需要用虚拟语气,D符合句意。
3.D 本题考查虚拟语气。request表“要求”时后面的宾语从句要用结构“主语+ should + 动词原形”,其中should可以省略,因此答案为D。
4.B 本题考查交际用语。问句问的是“对玛丽作文的看法”,只有B选项是一种评价、看法,其他几个选项都是所答非所问。
5.C 本题考查名词搭配。in the absence of “由于缺少”。lack可用搭配for lack of 表示“由于缺乏”。
6.A 本题考查名词辨析。句意为:你认为这个不但促进人们对世界饥饿问题的了解(awareness),而且还筹集资金帮助那些贫穷孩子的活动怎么样?其他各词contribution(贡献),direction(方向、指导),loneliness(孤独、寂寞),均不合句意。
7.A 本题考查动词(短语)辨析。call up唤起对……的回忆;remind的用法是remind sb. of sth.。
8.D 本题考查动词辨析。spread意为“使伸展,铺开”,符合句意。lay意为“放置”,但是时态不合适,lay的过去式是laid;hung是hang(挂)的过去式,意为“挂”,和后面的on the grass不搭配。
9.B spare nothing to do sth.不遗余力地去做某事。
10.A 考查动词短语辨析。get through通过(审查或考试等)。句意为:我通过了法语笔试,但是英语口试却不及格。look through浏览,仔细检查;go through(法律等)被正式通过或接受; live through经历过。
1. B 根据第二段第一句话As I looked outside the car window to my right,可知作者没有从车里出来,只是把车停在路边,所以选择B项parked “停车”。
2. A 本句是个定语从句,先行词是a small park,在句中引导词做地点状语,所以用where。
3. B 根据最后一段第一句话His only aim was to run freely可知当时小孩正在公园的草地上自由的(freely)奔跑。21世纪教育网
4. C 他妈妈就在不远处看着他。from a short distance“从不远处”。
5. A 根据下文的from some sort of prison可推知选择A项set free “释放”, 用来形容小男孩笑得很开心劲好像刚从牢笼里释放出来似的。
6. D 根据下文的get up和下文However, with kids when they fall down, they don't perceive(觉察,感知) their falling down as 10 ,可推知他摔倒了(fall),接着爬起来。
7. C 根据下文的without looking back at his 8 , run as fast as he could, again,可知他毫不犹豫(without hesitation),也不回头看看妈妈,接着就跑啊跑,然后再摔倒,再爬起来。
8. B 根据第二段中的running 3 on the grass as his mother watched from a short 4 .可知小孩是和妈妈一起来的,所以当然是他回头看妈妈是合理的。
9. A 根据上文的The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been 5 from some sort of prison.和本句中的again 可推知即使他摔倒了,笑容(smile)始终挂在脸上,仿佛什么事都没发生似的。
10. D 根据下文的They have not 2 “falling down" with the word “failure" yet,可推知当他们摔倒的时候,他们并不把摔倒视为失败(failure)。
11. A 根据上下文的逻辑关系可推知他们把不断的摔倒看作是学习经验(experience)的过程。他们觉得必须尝试,再尝试,直到成功。[来源:21世纪教育网]
12. B connect …with “把……和……连在一起”,这里指的是孩子并没有把“摔倒”与“失败”联系起来。
13. A他们感受不到失败的那种状态(state)是什么滋味.
14. B 根据下文的I was equally touched by the manner in which he ran.可推知选择touched “感动”, 本句译为:小男孩的毅力感动了我,同样,他奔跑的那种劲头也感动了我。
15. B 根据下文的 No signs of fear, nervousness,可知小男孩在每一次尝试的时候都信心十足(confident),没有一点恐惧、紧张的迹象。16. A 根据上文的fear, nervousness可知本空应该和他们是近义,所以选择A项,be discouraged“气馁”。
17. A as effectively as he could “全神贯注地”。 properly“有效地,合适地”; narrowly“勉强地”; strictly“严格地”均与句意不符。
18. C 根据下文的that maybe someone would see him fall and that it would be 19 if he did fall.可知本句是that 引导的同位语从句,这里指的是他好像也根本不去想有人会看到他摔倒的事实(fact)。
19. C因为在公园里除了他和妈妈以外,还有其他人,但他并没有觉得不断的摔倒是令人难为情,很尴尬的(embarrassing)事。[21世纪教育网
20. A 对他来说,重要的就是尽己所能地完成(complete)手头的事情或活动——奔跑。
1. D 推理判断题,第一段提到,作者的丈夫在硅谷工作,他的工作需要经常出差会见合作伙伴。在第四段提到他的另外几份工作也是需要经常出差。
2.B 细节理解题,在第一段第四句话提到在他们结婚的这18年里,丈夫的几份工作都需要经常出差,所以选B,文章里出现的另外的数据通过大致浏览可以一一对应。
3.A 推理判断题,在第三段提到,10年前作者有时候会想“我不会就这样下去了。”在第二句话接着说但是已经结婚了,我又不想做出离婚的决定。可以推断作者在很艰难的时候想过放弃婚姻。
4.C 细节理解题,在第三段第三句提到,在经历婚姻里的那些艰难岁月使得这些岁月也是那么的甜蜜和有意义。所以在第四句话提到作者对生活的态度是感激,感激这点点滴滴带给她的快乐。

Google said on Tuesday its engineers have developed a software tool that can help users save energy and cut electricity bills at home.
Called PowerMeter, the tool allows users to receive their home electricity consumption (消耗)information almost in real time right from their computers.
We could use the information to work out how much energy is used by different appliances (电器)or family activities and use energy in best way. 21世纪教育网
The software is being tested by Google employees and not yet on hand to the public, "but we're building companies and looking for companies showing interest to the new invention to make more families enjoy its help," the Internet search top leader announced on its official blog.
According to the studies, knowing home energy information may result in savings between 5 to 15 percent on monthly electricity bills.
It noted that if half of America's houses cut their energy need by 10 percent, it would be the equal energy of taking eight million cars off the road. 21世纪教育网
The announcement shows Google's latest move to search into smart network-a next-generation net system that carries electricity from suppliers to users using digital technology to save energy and cost.
Google is a supporter for building smart network in the U.S. and has been spending great amount of money in smart network companies.
Google Inc. is an American public company, earning income from advertising connected with its Internet search, e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking, and video sharing services as well as selling advertising-free versions of the same technologies.
1.What can the software tool be used to do?
A.To tell when to pay for the electricity bills.
B.To save energy and cut electricity bills.
C.To pay for the bills on the computer.
D.To stop the use of energy and electricity.
2.From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 we know _____.
A.the software sells well in the shops
B.the software sells bad in the shops
C.the software haven’t been on sale now
D.the software have been sold to workers in America
3.Who is the software most fit for?
A.Church. B.School.
C.Farm . D.Family.
4.The passage wants to tell us _____.
A.Google develops software to save energyB.Google develops hardware to save energy
C.Google develops software to win employees D.Google develops software to save patients
B
The small coastal town of Broome, in northwest Australia, is a remote village in the vast countryside.
There are no traffic jams and hardly any roads. There is only the massive Australian wild land, where some houses are 500 miles apart and some driveways are 50 miles long.
There seem to be only two main sources of entertainment out here: the sunset at the beach and Sun Pictures.
Sun Pictures is a very different movie theater:the seats are park benches and deck chairs, but you’re also welcome to sit on the grass.
It is the world’s oldest outdoor movie garden. Sun Pictures was built in 1916 on the other side of the globe from Hollywood. All the big films were shipped here and the lonely country was amazed.
Broome resident Pearl Hamaguchi has never traveled far from home. But in the Sun Pictures chairs, under the deep blue night sky, she has been almost everywhere.
“And we came back excited about Gregory Peck, ” she recalled.
This is one of the few places left in the world where you can see two sets of stars at the same time—one set in the sky, the other in the film. 21世纪教育网
Each night, dozens of people from around the world line up at the old wooden stand, with no computer in sight, and buy their tickets to the latest films.
Sun Pictures is also a museum, exhibiting projectors (放映机) that date back to the silent films, a portrait gallery of the famous people who never knew about this place—even though they came here all the time.
Every once in a while, I’m told, you might find a non-ticket holder in your seat. That’s why it’s always a good idea to shake out your chair to make sure there are no spiders or scorpions.
“We’ve only had a couple of scorpion incidents but no one’s been stung yet, ”said Aaron Mestemaker, a tourist visiting from Michigan.
Sun Pictures is a holy hall of movie history and a reminder that air conditioning and carpet are no match for grass and fresh air—even when the lizards steal the scene.
5. The first two paragraphs want to show that _______.
A. living in Broome is inconvenient
B. the life in Broome is boring
C. few people like to live in Broome
D. Broome is simple but vast
6. Sun Pictures is different from other theaters because _______.
A. it is the most historical outdoor theater in the world
B. the audience can either sit on chairs or on the grass
C. it was built by some constructors from Holly- wood
D. all the films were imported here from Hollywood
7. Gregory Peck is most probably the name of _______. [来源:21世纪教育网]
A. a place
B. a film
C. a movie star
D. a country fellow
8. It can be inferred that the tourists in Broome are most attracted by _______. 21世纪教育网
A. its peacefulness
B. its beautiful sunset
C. the Sun Pictures
D. the gallery of movie stars

1.D 本题考查动词辨析。答句句意:他说他会向Macrae教授推荐我做他的研究生。comment评论;select选择;command指挥;recommend推荐。
2.C remind sb. of sth.使某人想起某事。mention提及;inform sb. of sth.通知/告诉某人某事;recall主动回忆起。
3.A 句意:你努力工作促使你英语取得了很大进步。
4.B 句意:清洁的环境有助于该城市申办奥运会,而奥运会又转而会促进该城市的经济发展。根据句意可首先排除A项(本质上)、D项(事实上)。in turn意为:as a result of something in a series of events“相应地、转而”。in return意为:in exchange or as payment“作为……的交换,作为……的回报”。
5.C 该题中的her prettiness属于Lisa的优点之一。故用apart from。21世纪教育网
6.A 句意:我通过了法语笔试,但是没通过英语口语考试。get through通过。look through浏览;go through经历;live through度过。
7.B 句意:在清新的空气中散步对我们的健康非常有益。be of great benefit相当于very beneficial,of和名词之间的修饰语只能是much,little,no,great等,不能是very,quite,pretty。
8.B 考查介词短语辨析。句意:清洁的环境可以帮助一个城市申办奥运会,反过来又会促进该城市的经济发展。in nature事实上,本质上;in fact事实上;in turn反过来,因而;in return 作为回报。结合句意,B项最佳。
9.B of value=valuable。D项错在great上,应改为greatly。句意为:恐怕在这本书中我找不到有价值的东西。“of+抽象名词”在句中作后置定语。
10.A 句意为:他因为在战争中表现出来的勇气而受到尊重。be honoured for表示“因……而受到尊敬”;be honoured as表示“作为……而受尊敬”;C、D两项放在句中搭配错误,由句意知,答案为A。
1 B. 细节理解题。在第一段提出Google研发的软件的用途和目的,可以作为使用者省电的参考。在第二段和第三段说到了这个软件的工作方式,Google表示正在开发Google PowerMeter应用程序,该程序可显示用户家中的各种电器用电量,以作为省电的参考,所以选B。
21世纪教育网
2. C 推理判断题。本句的意思是这种软件现在只是由Google公司的职员在试用,还没有对公众开放使用,但是Google表示,目前正建设公司并寻找有合作意向的公司使这项新发明受益更多家庭,所以选C。
3.D 细节理解题。在第一段说到了Google为了响应全球的节约能源计划研发的软件是为了节约能源减少用电支出,第二段提出了PowerMeter就是Google的工具程序,可分析家中电器的用电情况。第三段更是强调different appliances或 family activities的耗电量,所以主要是针对家庭使用的。
4.A 细节理解题。前三段说到了Google表示,大多数的使用者都不知道家中的电器使用多少电量,或是哪些地方浪费电,或者并不了解不同的季节账单金额会有所变动。当使用者清楚了解各种电器的用电量后,就能找到节省能源的方式并减少电费。所以他们在文中提到的研发的软件是为了节能。
5.D 主旨大意题。第一、二段主要描述了Broome的自然位置,表明这是一个偏远的小镇,属于客观描述,不涉及作者感情。只有D项是对事实的概括,而其他选项都涉及了评价。
6.B 细节理解题。第四段中冒号后面的内容明确表明了太阳电影院的独特之处。A项并不是它的独特之处。C、D两项的陈述都不对。
7.C 细节理解题。本题考查对stars 的理解。从第八段的This(指Broome)可以看出,one set in the sky,the other in the film是指在这里既可以看到天空中的星星,同时又能看到电影里的明星。由此可见,Gregory Peck 应该是电影明星(《罗马假日》主演格里高利·派克)。
8.C 推理判断题。从倒数第四段可以看出,游客们喜欢到太阳电影院看电影,而第二段已经指出光顾电影院是两种娱乐方式之一,且全文的重点也是太阳电影院。

Ⅴ.阅读理解(本题共20小题,每小题2分; 满分40分)
A
Packaging is a very important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate people to buy products. For example, a little child might ask for a breakfast food contained in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products—or to ask their parents to buy for them.
Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.
The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size”(大包装) or “Family Size”(特大号包装)printed on it. This suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.21世纪教育网
The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.
1.The first and the last sentences in paragraph 2 may probably mean ______.
A. a buyer will not get what he pays for
B. a buyer will get more than what he pays for
C. a buyer will get something useful free of charge
D. a buyer will get more but pay less
2. From the passage we know the buyer pays more attention to ______.
A. the size of a container
B. a container with attractive pictures
C. a well-designed container 21世纪教育网
D. a plain container with low cost
3. What suggestion does the writer give in the passage?
A. It’s not good to buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish.
B. The quality of a container has nothing to do with the quality of the product.
C. The best choice for a buyer is to buy a product in a plain package.21世纪教育网
D. A buyer should buy what he needs most rather than a well-designed package.
4. What do you think is the best title for the passage?
A. Packaging of Products.
B. How to Make an Advertisement.
C. How to Sell Products.
D. How to Attract More Buyers.
B
Internet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.
Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.
The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized (推测). Faceless, bodiless “virtual”(虚的) communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
“But it' s important to remember this is not about the technology, it' s about how it is used,” says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study' s sponsors (发起人). "It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology."
5. What had the researchers expected before the research?
A.The Net may account for the drop in psychological health.
B.Internet use may improve psychological health.
C.Internet use has nothing to do with psychological health.
D.Spending much time on the Internet makes people feel bad and lonely.
6. Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.
B.Internet communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation.
C.Undeveloped Internet technology causes the drop in psychological health.
D.The wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
7. What does Christine Riley, the psychologist, suggest?
A.It's necessary to take social factors into account in designing applications and services for technology.
B.It's important to tell the users how to design and apply the technology.
C.Compared with social factors, the technology itself has more influence on the Internet users.
D.No social factors should be considered in applications and services for technology.
8. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?
A.How to Use the Internet
B.Disadvantages of the Internet
C.Social Factors and the Internet?
D.Internet May Cause Bad Feelings

As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behavior, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts(血细胞计数), but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well.” In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most importantly, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well,” in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.
9.Today medical care is placing more stress on ______.
A. keeping people in a healthy physical condition
B. monitoring patients’ body functions
C. removing people’s bad living habits
D. ensuring people’s psychological well-being
10.In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ______.
A. good health is more than not being ill
B. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful[来源:21世纪教育网]
C. regular health checks are essential to keeping fit
D. prevention is more difficult than cure21世纪教育网
11.Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he ______.
A. does not have any unhealthy living habits
B. does not have any physical handicaps
C. is able to handle his daily routines
D. is free from any kind of disease
12.According to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people ______.
A. to best satisfy their body’s special needs
B. to strive to maintain the best possible health
C. to meet the strictest standards of bodily health
D. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure
D
Psychiatrists (精神病专家) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in child rearing-older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.
Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps (午睡) to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says Metcalf. “You can’t get away from that.”
Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,” says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: “that they won’t be alive long enough to support and protect their child,” she says.
Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.” Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.”
13.Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing?
A. Older parents are often better prepared financial- ly.
B. Older parents can take better care of their children.
C. Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.
D. Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demands.
14.The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that ________.
A. older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children
B. many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age
C. older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies
D. taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy
15.What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joan Galst?
A. Approaching of death.
B. Slowing down of their pace of life.
C. Being laughed at by other people.
D. Being mistaken for grandparents.
16.What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?
A. They thought they were an example of success- ful fertility treatment.
B. Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.
C. Not until they had the twins did they feel they had formed a family.
D. They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.

Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for (必定遭到)an unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (锁止器), and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.
The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro-processor and memory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cell-phone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.
In the UK, a set of technical fixes (固定标准) is already making life harder for car thieves. “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed,” says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.
Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won’t allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.
But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner’s keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.
If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre that it has been stolen. The hundred meters minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal. Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicle’s movements via the car’s GPS unit.
17. What’s the fun_ction of the remote immobilizer fitted to a car?
A. To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief.
B. To allow the car to lock automatically when stolen.
C. To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.
D. To prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner.
18. What is essential in making a moderm car tougher to steal?
A. A coded ignition key.
B. A unique ID card.
C. A special cell-phone signal.
D. A GPS satellite positioning receiver.
19. Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operations centre?21世纪教育网
A. To leave time for the operations centre to give an alarm.
B. To keep police informed of the car’s move- ments.
C. To give the driver time to contact the opera- tions centre.
D. To allow for possible errors in the GPS system.
20. What will the operations centre do first after receiving an alarm?
A. Start the tracking system.
B. Contact the car owner.
C. Block the car engine.
D. Locate the missing car.
Ⅵ.七选五 (本题共5小题,每小题2分; 满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? ?? 1? It never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity(创造力) gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?” “Why can’t I think?”
? 2? ?Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading.
Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you. ?? 3? ?Now this seed is unknowingly(未发觉地) used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity. ?? 4? ?Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.

8.A 句意为:除了价钱,它还将花费许多时间。此处apart from相当于besides。
1.It’s about time you invested in a new shirt!
2.Exercise contributes to better health.
3.I intended to tell her but she ignored me.
4.That new restaurant in town is highly recommended.
5.She undertook full responsibility for the new changes.
1.D 考查上下文联系。由上文代表“草、树、叶”推测可知,该句意为“没有我,其他的动物就会死亡。”pass away表示死亡,过世。而go out表示出去,离开,熄灭;leave off表示停止,终止;die down表示变弱,渐渐消失。难度适中。
2.A 考查上下文联系。由下文的“天空和海洋”相对比,结合上文所谈及的“草、树、叶”可知,此处指“陆地”。本题易。
3.C 考查固定句型。此处是强调句型“It is+被强调部分+that+其他”。难度适中。
4.B 考查句意理解。此处与第一段的最后一句有异曲同工的作用,意为:没有我的润泽,你们全都没有(即死亡)。难度适中。
5.A 考查句意理解。此处所填单词,应与前面的laughter,fun是同类型的词,表示积极向上的词,而sadness,depression,anxiety则表示“消极”之意,只有warmth与语境相吻合。难度适中。
6.D 考查上下文联系。橘黄色在平时不多见,结合下文只有在太阳升起或落下时出现,因此用scarce表示“稀少,不常见”,而usual表示通常;normal表示正常。难度适中。
7.C 考查常识理解。只有在太阳升起或落下时出现橘黄色。本题易。
8.C 考查固定短语。从上文“我的美丽如此迷人”推断出下文“当我出现时,没有人会想起你们的”。give thought to表示想起,注意。难度适中。
9.D 考查句意理解。根据下文红色是危险和勇敢的象征,可知是“红色”再也忍不住了。难度适中。
10.B 考查固定短语。由上文bravery可知,此处意为“我愿意为真理而斗争”。fight for“为……而战”。bring about表示引起,导致;struggle with表示努力挣扎;bend over表示俯身,屈从,均不符合题意。难度适中。21世纪教育网
11.A 考查上下文联系。由上文各种颜色的讲话内容及此句中的boasting(夸耀)可知,它们都在吹嘘自己的优点或优势(superiority)。而reputation表示名誉,声望;weakness表示弱点;disadvantage表示劣势,缺点,均不符合题意。难度适中。

13.B 考查句意理解。由谓语“蜷缩(crouched down) ”及下文互相缩成一团可知:它们处于“恐惧之中”,而with care表示当心;by chance表示碰巧,无意;on purpose表示故意地。A、C、D三项均不符合题意。难度适中。
14.A 考查句意理解。此处所填单词,应与下文所描述的这些颜色的不团结一致,所以要表示贬义,雨水在骂那些愚蠢的颜色,只看到自己的优点。本题易。
15.D 考查句意理解。句中的动词dominate是“优于,超出”,根据上文的内容,它们极力说自己的优点,想超出对方,用the rest来表示除自己之外的所有的其他颜色。难度适中。
16.D 考查句意理解。由“for a special purpose”可知,各种颜色都有自己的特殊的用途,它们所具有的特点都是其他颜色没有的,因此用unique来表示“独特的”。而simple表示简单的,仅仅的;ordinary表示普通的,平凡的;familiar表示熟悉的。
17.C 考查上下文联系。由下文“Joined hands”可知,它们“团结一心”。而combine表示结合,connect表示联系,attach表示附属,贴上,均不符合题意。难度适中。

2.C 推理判断题。整篇文章讲的是包装就是广告。包装吸引人进行购买,为什么人们会购买呢,主要是因为人们对好的包装感兴趣,通常认为他们是免费的。
3.D 推理判断题。最后一段,作者提示读者The words and pictures do not tell the whole story.Only the product inside can do that.也就是说不要太相信广告词和图片,要看产品本身。
4.A 主旨大意题。本文是讲包装让购物者产生购物冲动的问题,它包含了两层意思,一是对于消费者来说,要注意不要只看包装不看内容;二是对于卖家来说,就是要注意如何包装产品了。因此A更符合这篇文章的标题。
5.B 细节理解题。从文章中第二段最后一句They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television可得出B为正确答案。
6.C 推理判断题。对照原文,只有选项C没有被提及,其他三项在原文中都可找到。A项源自第二段最后一句;B项与第三段第二句相对应;D项源自第三段最后一句。
7.A 细节理解题。从文中最后一段中Christine Riley所说的话“It really points to the need for considering social factors…”可以直接得出答案。
8.D 主旨大意题。文章的中心思想是网络给人造成的坏心情及产生这一结果的原因,所以最佳标题是“网络可能导致坏心情”。
9.C 细节理解题。第一段“the focus of medical care… especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors”(当今社会医疗保健的重点已经由治愈疾病转变为预防疾病,特指该表我们许多的不健康的行为。)
10. A 细节理解题。第一段中列举了亚健康的一些具体表现,最后指出,亚健康的人并没有生病,但是却称不上是健康,因为他还可以过得更健康一点。选项C、D在文中没有明确提到,而B项的意思与原文不符,原文认为这些亚健康状态不会导致人生病。
11. D 细节理解题。根据文意,“传统医学界没有就“不生病”和“身体健康”做出明确的区分,即传统医学界认为“不生病”就是“身体健康”。.
12. B 词汇题。对于“健康”给出的新的定义,即不是一种人们可以达到的状态,而是一种努力追求的理想。
13.C 本题的原句是第一段第一句话“Psychiatrists (精神病专家) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in child rearing-older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. ”(与大龄父母接触的精神病专家认为,父母的成熟度对于养育子女是一种资产,因为大龄父母考虑更周到,会更少使用体罚手段,会花更多的时间与子女在一起。)
14. C Henry Metcalf的例子即原文的第二段But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young. “My body is aging,” says Metcalf. “You can’t get away from that.”(但是,他也担心他的精力会不够。他知道心态年轻不代表真正的年轻。他说,“我的身体在变老,你不能不考虑这一点。”)
15. A 由第三段的最后一句话But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: “that they won’t be alive long enough to support and protect their child,” she says.(在这些小担忧中,还有一个更大的担心,那就是他们担心他们不能活得足够长来支持保护他们的孩子)可知正确答案。
16. C 由原文最后一段中The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.”(这对双胞胎的诞生给了夫妇俩多年来梦寐以求的“家的感觉”)可知正确答案。
17. C 第一段第二句话“The car is fitted with a remote… start it again.”(配有远程锁止器的车辆,远在数公里以外的控制中心可以通过无线电信号遥控车辆的引擎,使其无法再次启动),就明确指出了远程锁止器的作用,即锁定车辆使其无法再次启动。18. A 由原文第四段第一句话“Modern cars are far tougher … beamed out by the ignition (点火) key.”( 现代的车子防盗做得更好,因为它们的引擎管理电脑系统只在接收到一个独一无二的由点火器发送过来的身份密码后才允许启动汽车)可知正确答案。
19. D 由倒数第二段的第二句话“The hundred metres minimum… in the GPS signal.”(这一百米的最小距离是为了防止由于GPS定位不精确而造成的误报)可知正确答案。
20. B 最后一段中“Staff at the centre will… is missing”(控制中心的工作人员会和车主确认车子是否确实被偷),与题意相符。

One possible version:
Attention, please! I am going to give you a summary of today’s discussion about whether we would go online in our spare time.
??? Most students think they (we) can go online as much as possible in our spare time because we are free then. Through the Internet, they can gain plenty of the newest knowledge and the latest news at home and abroad. What’s more, network offers them (us) a convenient way to communicate with each other. The Internet makes their lives outside class colorful and various.
On the other hand, a few students partly agree to this idea. Going online is part of our daily life. They suggest a time limit. They’ve found that more students are playing computer games instead of studying their lessons. They’re few students who are often absent from school for days. Thank you.
