Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension（30 marks）
Directions：Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
A year ago in August，Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan.His wife，Gerrie，was still working in the local school cafeteria，but work for Dave was scarce，and the price of everything was rising.The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years.Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$ 7,000，a legacy（遗产）from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch，who died in an accident.“It really made a difference when we were going under financially，” says Dave.
But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches.Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches' generosity.In some cases，it was a few thousand dollars；in others，it was more than $100,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money，more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression，Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.They thrived on（喜欢）comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store，checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years，the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn't afford it.“Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything，” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden，“They could see things they could do to make you happier，and they would do them.”
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed.It was the Hatches' wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents —should enrich the whole community（社区）and last for generations to come.
Neighbors helping neighbors — that was Ish and Arlene Hatch's story.
56．According to the text，the Fusses ______.
A．were employed by a truck company B．were in financial difficulty
C．worked in a school cafeteria D．lost their home
57．Which of the following is TRUE of the Hatches?
A．They had their children during the Great Depression.
B．They left the family farm to live in an old house.
C．They gave away their possessions to their neighbors.
D．They helped their neighbors to find jobs.
58．Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store?
A．They decided to open a store. B．They wanted to save money.
C．They couldn't afford expensive things. D．They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.
59．According to Sandy Van Weelden，the Hatches were______.
A．understanding B．optimistic C．childlike D．curious
60．What can we learn from the text?

C．Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches.
D．The Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their example.
B
Since 1980，the use of wind to produce electricity has been growing rapidly.In 1994 there were nearly 20,000 wind turbines worldwide，most grouped in clusters called wind farms that collectively produced 3,000 megawatts of electricity.Most were in Denmark（which got 3 percent of its electricity from wind turbines）and California（where 17,000 machines produced 1 percent of the state's electricity，enough to meet the residential needs of a city as large as San Francisco）.In principle，all the power needs of the United States could be provided by exploiting the wind potential of just three states—North Dakota，South Dakota，and Texas.
Large wind farms can be built in six months to a year and then easily expanded as needed.With a moderate to fairly high net energy yield，these systems emit no heat-trapping carbon dioxide or other air pollutants and need no water for cooling；manufacturing them produces little water pollution.The land under wind turbines can be used for grazing cattle and other purposes，and leasing land for wind turbines can provide extra income for farmers and ranchers.
Wind power has a significant cost advantage over nuclear power and has become competitive with coal-fired power plants in many places.With new technological advances and mass production，projected cost declines should make wind power one of the world's cheapest ways to produce electricity.In the long run，electricity from large wind farms in remote areas might be used to make hydrogen gas from water during periods when there is less than peak demand for electricity.The hydrogen gas could then be fed into a storage system and used to generate electricity when additional or backup power is needed.
Wind power is most economical in areas with steady winds.In areas where the wind dies down，backup electricity from a utility company or from an energy storage system becomes necessary.Backup power could also be provided by linking wind farms with a solar cell，with conventional or pumped-storage hydropower，or with efficient natural-gas-burning turbines.Some_drawbacks_to_wind_farms_include_visual_pollution_and_noise，although_these_can_be_overcome_by_improving_their_design_and_locating_them_in_isolated_areas.
61．Which of the following best explains “wind farms” in this passage?
A．Farms using windmills to pump water.
B．Research centers exploring the uses of wind.
C．Types of power plant common in North Dakota.
D．Collections of wind turbines producing electric power.
62．What can be inferred about the states of North Dakota，South Dakota，and Texas mentioned at the end of Paragraph 1?
A．They rely largely on coal-fired power plants.
B．They contain remote areas where the winds rarely die down.
C．Over 1 percent of the electricity in these states is produced by wind farms.
D．Wind farms in these states are being expanded to meet the power needs of the United States.
63．What happens in these periods when the demand for electricity is relatively low?
A．These periods provide the opportunity to produce and store energy for future use.
B．These periods are times when wind turbines are powered by hydrogen gas.
C．These periods create storage problems for all forms of power generation.
D．These periods occur as often as periods when the demand for electricity is high.
64．In Paragraph 4，the author states that in areas where winds are not steady______.
A．power does not reach all customers B．wind farms cannot be used
C．solar power is more appropriate D．backup systems are needed
65．What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A．Both problems affect the efficiency of wind farms.
B．Possible solutions are known for both problems.
C．Wind power creates more noise than visual pollution.
D．People are more concerned about visual pollution than noise.
C

Section A（10 marks）
Directions：Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Children are used to the parties that consist of junk food，loud music and the like. However，today's environmental condition is serious，so to save our environment，we need to do our bit by making small changes in our activities like planning our kid's birthday parties in an eco-friendly manner.
The first idea for the “green” birthday party is selecting a “green” location.You can put some choices in front of your child like gardens，parks and farms and let him or her select one for the party.The benefit of choosing a natural outdoor location is that it doesn't require much decoration，which will save your money.Also，it'll bring your child close to nature.
Secondly，go “green” while you're listing out the required materials for the party. Use reusable and recyclable materials like cloth table covers instead of plastic.For decorations，avoid plastics by using natural things like plants，candles，etc.What's more，you can avoid using paper invitations and invite people by sending e-mail invitations to them.
Thirdly，plan the food according to the “green” theme.Serve delicious but healthy food to the guests.Fruits，vegetables and nuts can be the most appropriate parts in party food as they taste great，and are extremely healthy.Home-made cakes will also serve the purpose very well.
Lastly，conduct “green” activities.For giving children a learning experience，take them on a trip to the nearest farm and let them see the working system there.After the learning experience，let them play together in a park.Also children can make up stories which you can write down for them.These written pages will be colored by the kids and will be their return gifts.
Plan a unique but wonderful birthday party for your kid.If we all contribute to this cause，soon we'll see our earth back in her green coat.

Section B（10 marks）
Directions：Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
Nowadays residents of Qingdao，Shandong Province don't need to worry about being caught without an umbrella in public areas when it starts raining.That's because the “Love and Care Umbrella” campaign provides free umbrellas in places like banks，shopping malls，and even buses and taxis.
All this started after a series of pictures posted on a picture blog website.The actual event lasted only two minutes and was captured by a Qingdao photograph enthusiast last month.
That Sunday afternoon，it was raining.A man in a green T-shirt was in a nearby restaurant waiting for the rain to stop.Suddenly he saw an elderly woman who was stumbling（蹒跚而行）to cross a street without an umbrella.He rushed into the street with an umbrella and went with her by holding her arm.A few minutes later，a girl who was with her mother in the car，rushed out with an umbrella to help the man and the senior woman.In the end，the 84-year-old woman was safely taken back home.
Guo Jianliang，who lives on the seventh floor of a building facing the street，saw all this.He immediately grabbed his camera and took the pictures.“It happened all of a sudden and I was moved，” Guo recalled.“I wanted more people to know about this.” Days later，the series of pictures were posted on many websites，blogs and forums.They were published in local newspapers as well and even got reported on CCTV.
“Good deeds are everywhere all the time，and people see them，record them and remember them，” Guo said.“ Good news travels fast，and it's not just because of the Internet.”

21．C apologize和谓语动词swore应该是同时关系，同时apologize 是由主语he发出的，所以表示主动、同时含义，该用doing作伴随状语。
22．D envy和Shirley之间是被动关系，另外envy和has是同时关系，但不能用being done，因为envy是状态动词，不能用进行态，所以应用envied。故选D项。
23．B 孩子的牙齿是在牙医那里被拔掉了，所以那天感到进食困难。故应该用表示要别人做某事的结构have sth. done；另have two of his teeth taken应该发生在felt之前，故答案为having had two of his teeth taken。
24．C 句意：这些可怜的动物绝不知道将来它们会沦为人类的口中食。work out“结果很成功或符合预期”；show up“露面，出现”；end up“（以某方式）终结”；come out“出来，开放”。

28．D 句意：间谍卫星能用来精确识别出几百公里下地面上人群中的打击对象。pick out意思是“在同类人或物中分辨出某人/某物”。
29．C 句意：早在2001年时，当时的总理朱镕基就指出：汽车会在10年之后成为市内出行的大问题，当时汽车产量一直在稳步上升。根据had been increasing...可知此部分应该为一个从句，故需用非限制性定语从句结构the production of which表示汽车的产量。A项和B项中没有从句引导词；D项不是表示“……的产量”的正确表达法。
30．A blame sth. on sb./sth.意思是“将某事物怪罪在……上”；另外blame...on...是伴随状语，和experts是主动关系，和call for是同时关系，故应该用doing的形式。

54．nobody 见上题解析。
55．behind 在克隆背后的观点听上去不错。
56．B 细节理解题。从第一段前三句话可以看出，Fuss夫妇处于经济困境中，所以B项为正确答案。A、C项与文中有关细节不符，D项在文中没有信息支持。
57．C 细节理解题。第四段第一句话说Hatch夫妇是在大萧条时期出生的，而不是他们在大萧条时期有了孩子，排除A项；第三段提到他们的老房子位于他们家的农场里，B项错误；第二段提到他们帮助有困难的邻居们，但并未提及帮他们找工作，D项错误。C项说他们把自己的财产捐赠给邻居，符合文意，故答案为C项。
58．B 推理判断题。第四段提到他们有节约的习惯，买东西之前喜欢一个商店一个商店地比较价格，显然是为了省钱，故答案为B项。A项“他们决定开个商店”；C项“他们买不起贵的东西”；D项“他们想给当地的孩子买礼物”，都明显与文意不符。

60．D 推理判断题。A项错在这个地区很贫困，文章只是说这里有经济困难的人，并不是说这里是一个贫困地区；B项错在parents上；C项说Sandy Van Weelden得到了Hatches夫妇的一份遗产，文章只是提到他对他们的评价，并未说他得到遗产之事；从文章倒数第二段第二句话以及最后一段可以看出，Hatches夫妇的愿望就是他们的遗产能够为社区以及子孙后代造福，邻里之间能够互相帮助，故答案为D项。
61．D 由第一段第二句 “...20,000 wind turbines worldwide，most grouped in clusters called wind farms that collectively produced 3,000 megawatts of electricity.”可知答案。
62．B 由第一段最后一句“...by exploiting the wind potential of just three states—North Dakota，South Dakota，and Texas.”和第四段第一、二句“Wind power is most economical in areas with steady winds.In areas where the wind dies down...”可知这三个州是风能比较稳定，及the winds rarely die down的地区。
63．A 由第三段第三、四句 “In the long run，electricity from large wind farms in remote areas might be used to make hydrogen gas from water during periods when there is less than peak demand for electricity.The hydrogen gas could then be fed into a storage system and used to generate electricity when additional or backup power is needed.”可知在用电需求未达到高峰之时（即对应题干中的when the demand...is relatively low）风力发出的电可被用来将水分解成氢气，然后氢气又可被储存起来等到电力短缺时（即需要additional或backup power时）又可发电。一言以蔽之，可以为未来储存能源。
64．D 可在第四段第二句 “In areas where the wind dies down，backup electricity from a utility company or from an energy storage system becomes necessary.”中找到答案。
65．B 由 “although these can be overcome by improving their design and locating them in isolated areas”可知答案。
66．A 细节理解题。第一段第二句“不像其他多产作者一次只写一书本，她一次能写五本”交代了她与其他作者的不同之处。
67．C 细节理解题。由第二段第四句可知答案。
68．C 细节理解题。第二段介绍了她的成就，其中“1998年关于她的儿子之死的那本书一出版就列在畅销书之首”与C项相符。她的28部书已拍成电影，而A项是电视剧，与原文不符；D项与文章第二段最后的内容不符；B项中，图书是为孩子们而写，而非young men。
69．B 推理判断题。最后一段中交代丹妮尔·斯蒂尔认为她的读者是最重要的资源，她一直和他们通过e-mail保持联系，可见她非常重视她的读者。
70．D 词义猜测题。根据文章最后两句话意思可推知inimitable 的意思是“无与伦比的，无法仿效的”，故选答案D项。
71．Green/Eco-friendly birthday parties 72．serious environmental condition 73．Ways/Methods/Approaches/Measures 74．close to nature 75．reused and recycled 76．sending e-mail invitations/sending e-mails 77．the green theme 78．Making cakes
79．Conducting “green” activities 80．learn or play
81．It provides free umbrellas for people in public places.
82．On a picture blog website.
83．He was moved and wanted more people to know about this.
84．Because people see，record，remember and spread them especially on the Internet.
Section C
Air pollution can be the most serious environmental problem harming the world.It's widely believed that it should be blamed on the emission of harmful gases and other chemical materials let off from factories and cars.A very useful solution is to make stricter laws to control those puffing factories.Policies should also be adopted to encourage car makers to develop cars running on cleaner forms of energy，such as electricity and natural gas.
Another environmental problem that raises concern among people is global warming.Actually，it is related to air pollution，the problem mentioned above.Climate change is mostly caused by human industrial activities.More trees should be planted and it is urgent to discourage people from destroying forests so that more carbon dioxide will be absorbed and the greenhouse effect will be lessened.
With an increasing number of people becoming aware of the problems we are facing，hopefully more and more effective ways will come up to solve them and we will live in a much cleaner world.

Ⅴ．阅读理解
The Peales were a famous family of American artists.Charles Wilson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution.He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington.His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.
Charles Wilson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum，which he founded in Philadelphia.The world's first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings.Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike.The museum's most popular display was the skeleton（骷髅）of a huge，extinct elephant，which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.
Three of Peale's seventeen children were also famous artists.Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers，fruit，and cheese.His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people，including one of George Washington.Another brother，Rubens Peale，painted mostly landscapes and portraits.
James Peale，the brother of Charles Wilson Peale，specialized in miniatures（小画像）．His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.
1．What is the main topic of the passage?

参考答案
Ⅰ．1．get along/on with 2．to apologize to you for 3．Surprised to find；felt like 4．spy on；keep his word/promise 5．Feeling guilty about；ashamed to
Ⅱ．1．A 句意：她多么自豪啊！她已经被北京大学录取了。be admitted to“被……录取”，符合语境。
2．B 句意：你似乎很有必要为了避免失去一个好朋友立刻道歉。由句意可知此处表示目的，故首先排除A、C两项；又根据avoid doing sth.“避免做某事”可知B项正确。
3．B blame sb.for doing sth.，accuse sb.of doing sth.，charge sb.with doing sth.，scold sb.for doing sth.。句意：没有承认应对事故负责，这个骑自行车的人指责那位路人掉头不当。
4．D 句意：约翰开会迟到是因为航班被暴风雪推迟了。delay“推迟、耽搁”，符合题意。
5．B 句意：沉浸在小说中，他并没有注意到下雨了。sb.be absorbed in...“某人沉浸在……”，此处用分词短语作后置定语，故B项符合题意。
6．A 句意：我坚信他们正在商量针对我的计谋，可是吉米坚决不信。had no doubt相当于believed，后面跟that引导的宾语从句，表示一个完整的陈述。
7．B 题意：是他的懒惰导致了他上次考试的失败。result in“导致，造成”，符合题意。result from“因……产生/发生”；arise from“由……引起”；bring up“抚养”。
8．D 本题考查短语辨析。get off “下车”；get into “进入”；get down“着手”；get through“接通（电话）；完成”。句意为：他不可能在两天之内完成这么多的工作。
9．D 句意：她当时不可能打通了办公室的电话，否则他们早就已经知道了这个消息。第一个分句是对过去进行推测，表示过去不可能做过，可用couldn't have done或can't have done，mustn't不能表示推测，只能表示禁止；第二个分句对过去进行虚拟，would have done表示本来已经做了某事。
10．A 句意：现代的塑料能够经得起很高和很低的温度。stand作及物动词时，有“经得起”之意，符合题意。hold“拿，举”；carry “提着”；support“支持”。
11．C 根据常识，当一位女士被问及年龄时，很有可能会觉得尴尬，故embarrassed“尴尬的”，符合题意。absurd “荒谬的”；satisfied “满意的”； awful“可怕的”。
12．C 根据答句可知问句表示“你说服他和我们一起去了吗？”之意，persuaded sb.to do sth.“说服某人做某事”，符合语境。advise sb.to do sth.和suggest doing sth.意为“建议某人做某事（结果不一定成功）”；try后不能跟sb.to do sth.结构。
13．C 句意：——情况最后如何？——唉，结果是大家都很受挫。turn out表示“结果表明，结果居然……”，how可以看成是针对turn out的表语提问；end up with...表示“以……终结”。
14．A 习语be there for sb.意思是“替某人服务/帮助某人/为某人分忧”。
15．A 考查形容词词义辨析。anxious“担心的”；ashamed “羞愧的”；weak “虚弱的”； patient “耐心的”。根据句意“我的妈妈总是会担心如果我们不按照我们说的时间回家的话”得出答案为A项。
Ⅲ．1．A 从后面提到的他的外号Cheerful Charlie和joyful的性格，可知此处意为“Charile不能走路，但这对他不是什么问题”，以表现其乐观。
2．D enthusiastic意思是“有激情的”，和前面的joyful同样表现其乐观向上的性格。
3．C 没有一位邮递员或的士司机不喜欢见到Charlie，表示大家都很喜欢他。
4．A 邮递员送信为deliver letters。
5．C 你停车的活比任何人都做得强。park a car/a taxi是“停车”之意。
6．D 或因为Charlie的主意，发明了一个新东西。
7．A 不过有一天他真遇到了一个棘手的问题。指后文的Waterworks是个很不容易快乐起来的小孩，让Charlie很犯难。
8．A Charlie决心不让自己灰心，let sb.down为“让某人失望”之意，指Charlie决定还是继续努力让Waterworks高兴起来。
9．D 有人从上面的窗户无意间掉了一块煎饼下来。因为有by chance“无意间”，所以应该是 “让某物掉下来”；而不是 threw“将其扔下来”。
10．B 煎饼正好落在他头上。right表示“恰好”。
11．A 尽管Waterworks就要哭起来，他还是非常想念Charlie讲过的那些快乐的话。miss sth.意为“思念，想念”。
12．C 由于终于体会到快乐了，所以感觉很好。
Ⅳ．1．whether 我不知道是否应该告诉爸爸妈妈。whether to do为正确搭配，if不能跟不定式。
2．before 和以前相比，他看起来非常不同。
3．other the other day是固定说法，意思是“几天前”。
4．it 如果爸爸妈妈知道这件事。it指代William抽烟的事情。
5．from keep something secret from sb.意思是“对某人保守某秘密”。
6．as/because 因为他已经规划好很快就会上大学了，所以不会在家待太久了。
7．Furthermore/Moreover/Plus 还有，他的成绩还是很好。表示递进。
8．should/shall 我该怎么办呢？should表示道德意义上的 “应该”，shall则表示向对方征求意见，表示“你认为我怎么做比较明智”。
Ⅴ．1．D 通读全文可知，本文主要是关于Charles本人及其子女和其他家族成员的艺术成就。故答案为D项。
2．A 由第一段最后一句“His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat...”可知答案为A项。realistic即为lifelike之意，意为“逼真的”。
3．B 根据构词法，unearth应该和earth（泥土）有关，un-为否定前缀，所以大致意思为“去掉某物的泥土”，再联想skeleton，可知应该为“出土”的意思。
4．D 由最后一段可知，Sarah Miriam Peale是Charles的兄弟James Peale的女儿。
5．C 由文中多处描写Charles家族的作品和工作的形容词“famous，realistic，popular，first professional”可知答案为C项。

Ⅴ．阅读理解
About 10 years ago，a very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street.He was going a bit too fast in his shiny，black,12-cylinder（汽缸）Jaguar XKE.
He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down.Suddenly，a brick sailed out and—WHUMP！—it hit the Jag's shiny black side door！Immediately Josh stopped the car，jumped out，seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car.He shouted at the kid，“What was that all about and who are you？Just what the heck are you doing？”Building up a head of steam，he went on，“That's my new Jag；that brick you threw will cost you a lot of money.Why？”
“Please，mister，please...I'm sorry！I didn't know what else to do！”begged the youngster.“I threw the brick because no one else would stop！” Tears were streaming down the boy's face as he pointed around the parked car.“It's my brother，mister，” he said.“He fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.” Sobbing，the boy asked the businessman，“Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair？He's hurt and he's too heavy for me.”
Moved beyond words，the young businessman felt no anger.He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts，checking to see that everything was OK.He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk.
It was a long walk back to the car—a long and slow walk.Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar.He kept the dent（凹痕）to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention.Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.

7．A 考查固定短语的用法。不遗余力做某事有下面几种表达法：spare no effort to do sth.；make an effort/efforts to do sth.。故此处A项符合题意。B项的effort应该用复数；C项的made改为making。
8．B 根据语境，空白处单词应为“将……看做……”之意，表示此意思的短语有think of sb./sth.as...，view sb./sth.as...，look at sb./sth.as...和see sb./sth.as...。treat sb as...意思是“将……人作为……看待”，不合语境。
9．B 句意：这张照片是在很久前拍摄的，我想知道你是否能认出我父亲。pick out “挑选，辨别出”符合语意；find out 表示查明（真相等），发现；look out 表示留神，照料；speak out 表示大声说出、大胆地说。
10．C 句意：这个男孩最大的遗憾是他当时忘记向这位名作家要她的签名了。此处用regret表示主语自己的遗憾。要用pity或shame需说It's a big pity/shame that the boy forgot to ask the famous...。
11．B the key to doing sth.表示做某事的关键，又根据句意可知后面的demand和make之间是被动关系，故用过去分词短语。
12．A 这件旧毛衣让我想起我的姑姑。look back on意为“回想起”；associate A with B意为“将A与B联系起来”；remember意为“想起”。
13．B have an effect on...表示“对……有效果，有影响”，固定短语。故此处用介词on。
14．D a wide range of...＝a wide variety of...“各种各样的”，指种类之多，范围之广。
15．D 题意是“这个后果我们没有别人可以怪罪的，只能怪我们自己”。blame sth.on sb.意思为“将某事怪罪在某人身上”。blame sb./sth.for sth.意思是“因为某事而责怪某人”，如果用后者，题干应该为“We have nobody to blame for the consequence but ourselves.”
Ⅲ．1．D 由最后一段中作者的感慨可知，作者对爷爷能为家人付出表示钦佩。
2．A make it意思是“做成某事”，句子意思为“……打电话过来说他演不了了”。
3．B desperately意思是“绝望地”，表示演员们听说演流浪汉的演员来不了之后的情绪。
4．D 爷爷来了，成了救星。故应选D项。
5．C ridiculous意思是“荒诞的”，整句意思是“这事再荒诞不过了”。因为后句说“我爷爷是银行家，很成功也很受到尊重，总是穿着西装和皮鞋”，和流浪汉形象相差甚远。
6．A 此处指“我”点头称是。
7．B 此处情节应为：我爷爷被叫到服装区去换戏装，要脱下自己的鞋子，所以爷爷感到很惊愕，因为从没人要他那样做过。take down为“取下某物”；put on为“穿衣”；put out为“扑灭（火）或熄灭灯”。
8．A 此处指爷爷同意去做会让他显得很傻的事情。
9．D 然后爷爷就学了少得可怜的几句台词。lines为“台词”之意。
10．C transform A into B意思是“将A变成B”，此处指爷爷被“变成一个流浪汉”。
11．B leave sth.behind意为“将……丢在身后”，此处leave behind his outer identity意思是“忘却自己的身份”。
12．A 意思是“他所做的牺牲直到我长大并且懂得生活之后才变得明晰”。故选A项。
Ⅳ．1．everything 通过for example后面的 air，water，animals等这些列举可知应该是所有的一切。
2．without 人们没有环境是活不下去的。
3．part 我们也成了环境的一部分。
4．while/but 表示转折或者对比。句子意思是“我们一直在提高生活水平，然而环境已经被污染了”。
5．the the air特指我们环境中的空气。
6．that/which 引导定语从句，且在从句中作主语。
7．Fortunately/Luckily/Thankfully 幸运的是，现在改正我们的错误做法还不算太迟。
8．best try one's best为固定搭配，意思是“尽某人最大努力”。
Ⅴ．1．D 根据这个男孩的叙述可知，他哥哥从轮椅上跌下，他想找人帮忙把他弄回轮椅上。
2．A 略读文章的第二、三、四段，寻找关键信息可确定事件发生的顺序。
3．C 根据约翰的表现：开始生气，但在知道真相后还帮助别人，而且这件事情发生后还用它提醒自己要留意生活，体谅别人。这说明他是个心地善良的人。
4．B moved beyond words 意为 “感动得无以言表”，由此可推断他是想进一步帮助这兄弟俩。
5．C 倒数第二句说他留着这个凹痕没有修理是用它来提醒自己留意别人的需要或困难。由此可知，这句话想要告诉人们的是 “要关心别人的疾苦，留意别人的困难，体谅别人。”

Ⅳ．阅读填空
A particular quirk（古怪举动）of Canadian education is that there isn't one system but 13.All 10 provinces and all 3 territories have the right to run their own education systems.It's established in the Constitution.
This means there is no national standard.Nobody agrees on the grade at which one makes the transition from elementary to secondary school，nor on how many years' schooling is compulsory，nor how many grades there should be before college or university，nor how schools should be funded.Families relocating often get a surprise when they are informed that the children will have to repeat a grade because the one they have just finished does not cover the required courses to pass into the next grade where they are now.
Older children from isolated areas may be sent away to boarding schools，but this practice is falling out of favor.These days children in a very small community are more likely to attend the same school from kindergarten to grade 12（13 in Ontario,11 in Quebec）．In rural areas，pupils are taken to the nearest school in large yellow buses，some spending over an hour on the bus each way.Some never do a spot of homework at home because they always complete it on the bus.With the arrival of computers，high-quality education has now become possible even in very remote areas.It also enables parents to educate their children at home.
Colleges in Canada are sponsored by the state.Fully 75% of Canadian students go on after high school to some sort of further education.Having a university degree is fast becoming the minimum standard for employment but is far from a guarantee of a good job；those with a PhD in Philosophy，if not holding tenure at a university，are likely to be flipping burgers at a fast-food joint.
1．______
Strange education system

参考答案
Ⅰ．1．some comments in favor of 2．the point of view of；cut back on 3．figure out；being/getting burnt out；decades of；meet his family's needs 4．conflict with 5．have bad effects on
Ⅱ．1．B 题意：你的建议对我很有帮助，我相信这次有了它我就会成功的。be of benefit to “对……有益处”，符合题意。fun“乐趣，有趣的人或事”；attraction“吸引力”；joy“快乐，高兴”。
2．B 本题是考查词义辨析。由句意可知远程教育正在被采纳， adopt除了表示“收养”外，还有“采纳，采取”的意思，符合题意。adapt“使适应；改编”；attend“参加”；admit“承认”。
3．A 句意：总体上来说，我对小说感兴趣，尤其是侦探小说。in general“总体上，一般来说”，符合题意。in public “公开地”；in case “假使，万一”；in common “共有的”。
4．D 句意：他们要求图书馆在假期期间开放。urge后接从句时，从句中需用虚拟语气，即should＋动词原形，should可以省略；再结合句意此处需要用被动语态，故D项正确。
5．B 句意：带着被升职的想法，这个警察炮制了一桩抢劫案，而且他杀死了抢匪。 with the help of sb./sth.“在……的帮助之下”；with the reason of doing sth.为错误搭配；with the advice of doing sth.为错误搭配。
6．B 句意：他不顾父母的反对，毅然按照自己的计划从大学退学了。push ahead with “义无反顾地进行”，符合语境。push along “离开”；push against“按”；push forward “继续进行”。
7．B argue with sb.about/over sth.是习惯搭配，意为“与某人争论某事”。
8．C 句意：人们的行为总是对自己有利，在他们处于危险中时尤其如此。true表示上面所做的陈述符合事实。其余选项均不对。
9．A 本题考查介词短语辨析。句意：由于和这些化学物质有染，这些动物都死去了。as a consequence of “由于……的结果”，符合语境。in return for“作为对……的回报”；in the name of “以……的名义”；in spite of “不管，不顾”。
10．C 句意：婚姻是个很严肃的决定。它可不仅仅是相爱的问题。affair指 “公共事务或政治事务”，另可指贬义的“桃色事件”；a point of love搭配不对；a business of love搭配不对。
11．A 句意：尽管你说他粗心是对的，这并不意味着他身上一无是处。while表示“尽管”，引导的从句只能用于主句之前；as表示“尽管”的时候，一定要将表语形容词或表语名词或状语副词置于从句之首；if“如果”，不合语境；since“既然或自从”，也不合语境。
12．D 前后两个句子应该是转折关系，符合on the other hand的用法，其意思是“然而/另一方面”。
13．C 题意：你要是还是以这样的速度开车，你最后的结果就是进医院。这里考查end up“以……结束；以……告终”； take up“占据”，get up “起床”和shut up “闭嘴”不合题意。
14．D WTO规则要求每个成员国向其他成员国开放其汽车市场。open up“放开或开放某物，使得更多人能使用它”；put up“搭建，张贴”；clean up“清理，整肃”；start up“发动，启动”。
15．A 主句主语the majority of visitors指大多数参观的人，为复数概念，故第一空用were；从句主语the number of books“书籍的数量”为单数概念，故第二空用was。
Ⅲ．1．C thankfully意思是“幸好，谢天谢地”。前句说有些人很幸运，在意大利有家人或朋友请他们吃意大利的居家饭菜，别的人也有另外的一个选择——Home Food，所以其余的人也很幸运。
2．B 只有cooking“烹饪”才属于前面的cultural heritage。
3．C nature意思是“本性，本质，性质”。句意：他们的保护性的性质才是Home Food组织的核心所在。personality只能表示人的性格。
4．A 但是Home Food展示给世人的面目是：好美食的游客们不管对意大利的历史有多少了解都会对其食物趋之若鹜。
5．A 这些厨子的任务是给客人用本地和合时令的原料烹调食品。
6．B 但正如上面所提到的。
7．B 加入一个组织要用join。
