Ⅴ．阅读简答
As a young girl growing up in the 1930s，I always wanted to fly a plane，but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that.I got a taste of that dream in 2001，when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday.But the experience turned out to be very dull.Around that time，I told my husband that I wanted to skydive.So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have，I decided to write about my dream.
In the essay，I wrote about my desire to skydive，stating George Brush Sr.did it at age 80.Why not me？I was just 84 and in pretty good health.A year went by and I heard nothing.But then at a community party in late April 2009，they announced that I was one of the winners.I just couldn't believe it.Inspired by this，I decided to realize my dream，even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.
On June 11,2009，nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane.My instructor，Jay，guided me through the experience.The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in，but I wasn't frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience.When we reached 13,000 feet，Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane.When we first hit the air，the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe.For a second I thought，“What have I gotten myself into？”It was scary.But then everything got calmer.We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞），then we just floated downward for about five minutes.Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon.I was just enjoying it.
Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life.I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don't stop living just because you are 84 years old.If there's something you want to experience，look into it.If it's something that is possible，make it happen.
1．What was the old lady's dream？（No more than 4 words.）
________________________________________________________________________
2．How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane？（No more than 3 words.）
________________________________________________________________________
3．What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving？（No more than 11 words.）
________________________________________________________________________
4．What lesson can we learn from the 84-year-old lady's success story？（No more than 12 words.）
________________________________________________________________________
参考答案
Ⅰ．1．taken to court；abusing 2．having a talent for；tend to 3．are fond of 4．desperate to flee；are bent on raising/collecting 5．set us free from；set in
Ⅱ．1．B 句意：这次严重的地震沉重打击了这个国家的东北部，让成千上万人死去。leave 常常接宾语再加宾补，“致使某人/某物处于某状态”，后面的状态一般是不愉快的状态，其余使役动词没有这种含义。
2．C 表示气氛的紧张要用tension。stress表示“人的心理压力”；nervousness表示“人的紧张心理”；anxiety表示“人的焦虑或担忧”。
3．B 本题考查词义辨析。use “使用”；abuse “滥用”；ignore“忽视”；force“强制”，由句意可知正确答案为B项。
4．D 句意：没有了其他的选择，他铤而走险，企图劫持飞机。劫持飞机是孤注一掷的行为，所以最佳答案为desperate，意为“铤而走险的，孤注一掷的”。
5．D 句意：他的朋友不太喜欢看电视不是什么奇迹。hardly “几乎不”是否定意思，A项的no不能和any连用。
6．A 根据答语：更多的人已经到了，超过了需求的数量，可以知道，上文提到的两个人全被否定。
7．D 句意：——做你认为是正确的事，不管别人怎么想。——是的，我会的。第二个空要用whatever。所以答案是D项。
8．A 句意：在处理这样微妙的情形的时候，你要尽量小心。can't/can never...too...意思是“再……都不过分”，即“要十分的……”。其余程度副词没有这种含义。
9．A 本题考查不定式的省略问题。不定式的省略，要根据情况保留to。所以答案是A项。
10．B intend sth.to do意思是“有意让某物做某事”， 此处the food and clothes和intend是被动关系，所以应该用intended to be sent。
11．C 我很不喜欢他谈论我那令人尴尬的历史。it为虚指，因为hate不可跟从句，所以先跟一个虚指的it作宾语，再跟从句。
12．A 前句意思是“他最初是在公司里当个送货员”，而后句意思为“而现在是人事部经理”，据此可判断中间句意思为“他不久后或后来被提拔成了他那个部门的经理”。before long“不久之后”；in a while“一会儿之后”，不合题意；in the end“最后”，和后句矛盾；long before意思是“很久以前”，不合题意。
13．B 句意：关于当时到底发生了什么的真相正在浮出水面。come out意为“开始为世人所知，得以公开，开始上市，出版”；come up“升起，（某事）就要到来，（某主题）被提起/提出”；come in“进来”；come across“被理解，被传达”。
14．B 句意为“两个演员，而不是那个导演，被警察抓住在宾馆房间里吸食海洛因”。other than意思是“除了……”；more than意思是“不仅仅是……”；less than的意思是“少于……”。
15．C 句意是“和这些孩子说话时，他们真是可爱”。“某人/物……起来怎么样”的句型是sb./sth.be＋形容词＋to do（及物动词的不定式），do和sth./sb.是动宾关系。
Ⅲ．1．D 从后文中William说话的方式可见其奇怪。故本题应选D项。
2．A 由后句的But可知前后两句对William的描述应该是矛盾的，后句说他unusual “不寻常”，可见此处应该为common “平常的”。
3．C 从后文可知此处指他与别人交流，故答案为communicate“交流”。
4．B 此处指清清嗓子之后这样回应，故选B项。
5．D 没有一个人从他那里听到一个正常的单词。
6．A 因为总是穿着同样的一件旧二手套装，所以他生活得很朴素。
7．B 由于前面说别人经常不尊重他，所以这里应该是捉弄他。
8．C 前文提过他说话就像是唱歌剧一样，所以此处应该是他在一部歌剧中获得了一个角色。
9．D 后文说he sang only during his stage appearances，可知他已成为一名专业歌剧演员。故他的第一部歌剧应该很成功。
10．C 从那以后，William就再没有时时刻刻唱歌了。从后句他只在舞台上演出时才唱歌可知答案。
11．A 此处指如果人们知道他箱子里装的是什么，当时就没有人认为他疯疯癫癫了。
12．D 时时刻刻都不要忘记练习，因为你根本不知道什么时候机会会垂青于你。故本题选D项“机会”。
Ⅳ．1．but 前面分句中的have not read much English poetry和后面分句I know that...构成转折关系。
2．as be chosen as sth.“被选作……”句意为：她的小说《傲慢与偏见》在BBC的2003年的大阅读活动中被选为“全英最爱读的书”。
3．only/just 句意为“一种篇幅短小，只有几个人物而且情节简单的小说类作品叫做短篇小说”。
4．always/usually/mostly/often 由于文中都是一些名作家，所以应该多是溢美之词，故此处应该意思是“他的故事总是/通常/大部分情况下/经常有出人意料的结局”。
5．those 代词，代替the detective stories。如用ones前面需加the。
6．all 在他所有的剧作中，我最喜欢《罗密欧与朱丽叶》。
7．for as for意思是“至于”，常用语转换话题。句意为“至于非小说类读物，和很多人一样，我喜欢每天都读读新闻……”。
8．better/full 我已经做了计划要读一些名作家的传记……这样我就能更好地/全面地理解英国文学。
Ⅴ．1．To fly a plane./To skydive.
2．She felt regretful./She felt scared./She felt nervous.
3．Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below.
4．It's never too late to realize your dream./If there's something you want to experience，look into it./If it's something that is possible，make it happen.

Ⅴ．阅读理解
For any Englishman，there can never be any discussion as to who is the world's greatest dramatist.Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him：that of William Shakespeare.Every Englishman has some knowledge，however slight，of the works of our greatest writer.All of us use words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare's writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people.Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used，rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.
Shakespeare，more perhaps than any other writer，makes full use of the great resources of the English language.Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English；Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.
There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it.Such a study is well worth the effort（it is not，of course，recommended to beginners）even though some aspects of English usage，and the meaning of many words，have changed since Shakespeare's day.
1．English people ______.
A．have never discussed who is the world's greatest dramatist
B．never discuss any issue concerning the world's greatest dramatist
C．are sure who is the world's greatest dramatist
D．do not care who is the world's greatest poet and dramatist
2．Every Englishman knows ______.
A．more or less about Shakespeare
B．Shakespeare，but only slightly
C．all Shakespeare's writings
D．only the name of the greatest English writer
3．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．We use all the words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare's writings.
B．Shakespeare's writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.
C．It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they use.
D．All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.
4．What does the underlined word “proverbs” mean?
A．Familiar sayings. B．Shakespeare's plays.
C．Complaints. D．Actors and actresses.
5．Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?
A．English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare's time.
B．By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.
C．English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare's time.
D．Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.
参考答案
Ⅰ．1．perfect for；asked for her hand in marriage 2．fell in love with；at first sight 3．scold；for taking on 4．applied for；try out for 5．be put off
Ⅱ．1．C 句意：教育的缺乏使得很多年轻人只能去做报酬很低的工作。condemn sb.to sth.意思是“使得某人陷入一种令人不愉快的境地，使某人注定……”。
2．C 考查逻辑和短语介词。句意：害怕误了火车，他早早地到了车站。in case“万一”；instead of“代替；而不是”；in search of“寻找；搜寻”，均不合题意。for fear of是“担心，害怕，为免于出现某种情况”的意思，最合句意。
3．A 考查考生对副词的掌握和运用能力。在这种语境下though用作连接性副词相当于however，理解为“然而”，和上文构成转折关系。
4．D 本题考查的是固定搭配。not...but...是固定词组，意为“不是……而是……”。
5．A 后面的分句有连词so，所以前面应该是一个句子，但不能再有连词。故答案为A项。
6．A require接宾语从句时，从句用虚拟语气，即should＋动词原形，should可省略，故选A项。
7．B take on responsibilities“承担责任”。句意：不要承担太多任务，搞得自己应付不了。
8．B drop out of school“辍学”。
9．C demand意思是“要求，命令”，后面的宾语从句应该用should do型的虚拟，其中should可以省掉。句意为“该市的警察局长命令：这次偷窃案的任何信息都不能向媒体透漏”。
10．B 句意为“这个小男孩一直都以为会见到一个很宏伟的建筑，他第一次来到火车站却发现这里只是个收容既累又急而且脏的行路人的地方。”only to do用来表示出乎意料的结果。
11．C 由答句可知用的钱比带的多，故选C项。
12．A 句意：在某种程度上，我很高兴你犯了那个错误，因为它将对你起到警示的作用。serve as“起着……作用”；act as“担任……”；use应该用被动，但也不能说“这个错误被用作一个警示”；look as a warning为错误搭配。
13．B 表示影响人的思想、性格等多用influence，故B项正确。affect sb.通常指对人或物产生不好的影响，如灾难等作主语；reach可表示“影响力触及某人或某地”；contact为“接触”之意。
14．C 根据It must have missed me by...（当时它离我肯定只有一英寸远），可知前句意思应该是“我在过马路的时候差一点就被一辆卡车撞了”。be/come close to（doing）sth.本意为“离……很近”，引申为“差一点就……”。
15．B take possession of “拥有……”。
Ⅲ．1．D vary意为“不同”，可以构成vary from...to ...意为“因……而异”。
2．C 在本句中，根据and这一并列连词可以看出，其后的内容为根据学校现有资源的不同而决定了科研的不同，那么and前的并列部分，也是在讲学校自身的原因，因此可以得出people一词后面的介词短语作定语，故而想到in control（主管，控制），此处 people in control 意为“学校的主管人员”，也就是管理者们。
3．B 根据句意，一些小规模的学校或是新建学校没有可以开展大型研究的工作人员和设备。possess意为“拥有，具备”。
4．D be essential to 为固定搭配，意为“对……至关重要/必不可少”。
5．C 根据句意，搞科研的目的是让教师和学生能够及时了解前沿信息，keep in touch with意为“与……保持联系”。
6．A 根据上下文，学生上大学的目的主要是为了获取知识，acquire“获得（技能，知识等）”与knowledge 搭配符合句意。
7．A as well as为连接词，意思是“还有；除……还有”。
8．C 根据上文，学校的教育目标是多元的，因此学校鼓励学生去广泛结交兴趣多样的人才。encourage 意为“鼓励，鼓舞”，其固定用法为encourage sb.to do sth.。
9．B 根据上文的提示，此处指与兴趣广泛的人结交，interest“兴趣，爱好”符合题意。
10．D for one's own sake意为“为了……的好处，出于对……的兴趣”。
11．B make every effort to do sth.意为“竭尽全力做某事”。
12．A in depth为固定搭配，意思是“彻底地；深入地”。
Ⅳ．1．but 前后是转折关系。
2．because/when 用because后面接的从句是她转行开始画画的原因；从句也可视作时间状语从句，填when。
3．herself 由后文“开始卖作品给别人”可知，她一开始只是自己画给自己看，取悦于自己。
4．for 表示交换用for，sell sth.for...意为“以多少钱卖某物”。
5．bought 与liked和set out并列，一起作谓语，时态也应一致。
6．more 因他喜欢她的画，所以他开始寻找“更多”摩西的作品。
7．a 为了把摩西的作品介绍给别的艺术家，所以他“举行了一次展览”。
8．who 引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是摩西。
Ⅴ．1．C 由第一段第一、二句可知答案为C项。
2．A 由第一段中“Every Englishman has some knowledge，however slight，of the works of our greatest writer.”可知。
3．C 由第一段中“Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used...”可知答案为C项。
4．A 第一段最后一句话告诉我们答案为A项。
5．B 由文章后两段可知答案为B项。

The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children.Some parents send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England，the US or Australia，regardless of how much this costs.Many also want their children to take extra-curriculum activities where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet，or other classes that will give them a head start in life.The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is，the better it is，so parents often spend unreasonable amount of money on education.Even poor couple buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However，what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap.Parents can see that their children's skills vary；they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others.What most parents fail to realize though，is that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study effectively.They are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident，happy and clever.
Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking，sewing and other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.Cooking demands patience and time.It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.A good cook always tries to improve his cooking，so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully.The result，a well-cooked dinner，will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence.
An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child may make him curious and arouse his interest.If he will spend hours looking at it，and try to mend it，your child might become an engineer when he grows up.Such activities do more than teach a child to read a book，but rather they teach them to think，and to use their minds.This is much more important than learning by reading a book.
Title：How Chinese Parents Should 1．______ Their Children
Ⅰ．2．______ practice of Chinese parents：being blindly generous with money when it comes to education.
●Sending them to the best schools or even abroad.

Ⅳ．阅读简答
When I opened my e-mail the other day，a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen.She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm.Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss.She was reading me an e-mail from my brother，and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high-speed Internet connection.It was pretty cool.
Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail.Facemail lets you send e-mail that can read mails to the receiver by an attractive male or female or by a clown.The software，which is free，can be downloaded at www.Facemail.com.
Facemail faces are lifelike，and they copy emotions based on the ones that you put in your text.For example，type in X，and Rachel blows a kiss.Life FX，the company that develops the Facemail is sure there are broad business uses.The reason that e-business is not popular，the company says，is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch.But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name，waited on you and personally closed the sale？Besides，the company is talking with Whirlpool company about the technology in a computer screen on a fridge.Then if Mom can't be at home when the kids get back from school，she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.
Facemail could get hot fast.Personally，I am a fan.But Facemail should be used with words in an e-mail and add angry emotions when you've got junk mails.

参考答案
Ⅰ．1．ranging from；to 2．committed to；a variety of 3．made/became friends with；convinced him to take on 4．Upwards of；cut up 5．lay out；have a go at
Ⅱ．1．D 考查部分倒装。only强调状语置于句首时，句子要部分倒装。only强调的既可以是单词或短语状语，也可以是状语从句。如果强调的是状语从句，要注意不能倒装此从句，而要倒装主句。此句中要倒装you can make sure...，即说成can you make sure...。
2．C 本题考查主谓一致和倒装句。本句把one and a half days看成一个整体，所以谓语动词用单数；only位于句首，并且修饰状语，句子要倒装。
3．A There等表示地点的副词置于句首时要引起全部倒装，故选A项。
4．B 后半句应该是作状语表伴随，故应该用making。
5．A calculated意为“计算”“预测”“计划”“打算”；consider意为“考虑”；complete意为“完成”； control意为“控制”。根据句意，“损失还没有准确计算，但大家认为，损失远远超过1亿美元。”可知，答案选A项。
6．D 本题考查句型。根据后一句前连词and可知，前面一句应是一个分句，所以只有选项D合乎要求。
7．D 考查“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句。从空前的逗号可以看出，后面是一个非限制性定语从句，指代的是前面说的那件事。根据句意可知，他在北京大学接受教育之后出国深造，所以要用after which。
8．A be convinced of sth.意为“确信某事”。
9．D 考查强调句。此句强调时间状语从句when/while he studied sculpture in France。句意：是在他在法国学习雕塑期间他第一次遇上了两年之后嫁给他的姑娘。故本题选D项。
10．D 根据句意：女孩因为母亲得病而缩短行程或放弃旅行。A、B、C三项都正确。
11．A 关系代词as引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面的一句话，意为：正如，正像。故选A项。what不能引导定语从句。
12．C 我觉得今天上午做不完这工作，所以我可能不吃午饭了。miss意思是“无奈地错过或有意地不做某事”。
13．A 根据university和senior grade three判断句子意思是“由于一所大学的录取通知都还未收到，他估摸要复读高三了”。录取的名词是admission，来自于动词admit。allowance意思是“补贴”；permission意思是“允许”；agreement意思是“赞同，一致”。
14．A commit a mistake意思是“犯一个错误”，表示“做错事或傻事”都要用commit。
15．B afford的用法有：（1）afford＋to do指（和can，could，be able to连用）有（时间、经济等）条件（做某事）；afford＋n./pron.（出得起；买得起等）；（2）经得起（做某事或发生某事）。permit“许可”；expect“期盼”；offer“提供”均不符合题意。
Ⅲ．1．Educate 2．Wrong/Unwise/Unreasonable/Senseless 3．afford 4．lack 5．practical skills 6．sewing 7．Mending 8．Good 9．patient 10．think
Ⅳ．1．To serve as an introduction to the topic./To give a detailed description of Facemail.

Ⅳ．阅读理解
Mankind is still evolving（进化），according to a recent study by a team of scientists led by a Yale University evolutionary biologist.But research suggests that the natural selection process is no longer driven by survival，perhaps because of differences in women's fertility（能生育性）．
The team examined 2,238 women in Framingham，Massachusetts，the US and studied the medical histories of some 14,000 residents since 1948.
They found that strong，slightly fat women tend to have more children.And if this trend were to continue for the next 10 generations，by 2409 the average woman would be 2 cm shorter,1 kg heavier，and have a healthier heart.
That rate of evolution is pretty similar to what we see in plants and animals.Humans_don't_seem_to_be_any_exception，the team said.
Other recent genetic research backs up that belief.One study by John Hawks，an anthropologist at the University of Wisconsin at Madison，found that some 1,800 human gene variations（变异）are common in recent generations because of evolution.Among the changes are mutations（突变）that allow people to digest milk or resist malaria（疟疾）and others that govern brain development.
Since the Industrial Revolution，modern humans have grown taller and stronger.It's easy to assume that evolution is making humans fitter.But according to anthropologist Peter McAllister，the contemporary male has evolved physically into “the sorriest example of male ever on the planet”.An average Neanderthal woman，McAllister notes，could have beat Arnold Schwarzenegger in an armwrestling（腕力）match.And early Australian Aborigines could easily defeat Usain Bolt in a 100-m dash.
However，Douglas Ewbank，of the University of Pennsylvania，says that cultural factors tend to have a much greater impact than natural selection on future generations，so people tend to ignore evolution's effects.
And，despite evidence indicating evolution still works，Steve Jones，an evolutionary biologist at University College London，thinks that the impact of evolution on humans is not the most important.“What makes humans what we are is in our minds，in our society，and not in our evolution，” said Jones.
1．What does the underlined sentence “Humans don't seem to be any exception” imply?
A．Plants and animals are evolving faster than humans.
B．Evolution doesn't work in humans any longer.
C．The rate of evolution in plants and animals also applies to humans.
D．Humans are unique in their evolution.
2．Why is the recent genetic research quoted in the fifth paragraph?
A．To support the belief that mankind is still evolving.
B．To show human gene variations are common in recent generations.
C．To prove modern humans have grown fitter.
D．To suggest that the natural selection process is no longer driven by survival.
3．According to the passage，we can infer that Arnold Schwarzenegger ______.
A．used to be a famous actor
B．is an American governor
C．is very weak
D．is very strong
4．According to Douglas Ewbank，which of the following factors plays a greater part in the future generations?
A．Culture. B．Evolution.
C．Natural selection. D．Genetic mutations.
5．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Mankind is still evolving.
B．Women will get fatter.
C．The history of human evolution.
D．Future women tend to have more children.
参考答案
Ⅰ．1．In defence of；point out；regardless of
2．being exposed to；meet the national safety standards 3．as long as 4．is devoted to 5．dream of building；giving enough thought to
Ⅱ．1．A a sense of smell意为“嗅觉”。
2．C 句意为“这些文章会在报纸上刊登出来的可能性很低”。that引导同位语从句。
3．D in favour of意为“支持”；in honour of意为“对……纪念，怀念”；in face of意为“面对”；in need of意为“需要”。
4．C observe有“遵守；庆祝”之意。故选C项。
5．A 句意：当天气好的时候，我必须着手修理房子。get down to“着手做”；stick to “坚持”；get used to “习惯于”；look forward to “盼望”。
6．C 句意：收录论文进本书的唯一标准是其高引用价值。我们不想要专家们看都不看一眼的东西。criterion for doing sth.意为“做某事的标准”。
7．C 本题考查词义辨析。custom “习惯”；tension“紧张”；tendency“趋势”；tide“潮汐”。句意：随着大学生毕业，在夏季失业率有上升的趋势。正确答案为C项。
8．D 考查虚拟语气用法。could have done表示对过去情况的虚拟；第二个空是指对现在情况的虚拟，故选D项。句意为“我当初本来可以不同意他的条件的，那现在就不会有这样的麻烦了”。
9．C 考查非限定定语从句。cast意思是全体演员，whose cast相当于the cast of which。句意为“这个电影是由一个没什么导演经验的年轻人导演的，电影的大部分演员之前也从未演过戏。”
10．D 句意：所有的下岗人员得到的赔付额都一样，不管他们是否有孩子要养。despite“尽管，不管”，regardless of“不管，不考虑”，为介词，后面跟whether引导的宾语从句；no matter whether...or...或whether...or...都可以引导让步状语从句，表示“不管是……还是……”。
11． D 本句考查倒装。陈述语序是Dr Gray is joining me this evening。倒装的目的是为了使句子平衡。
12．B restriction on sth.是固定搭配。
13．B be exposed to sth.意为“受到……的影响，接触到……”，此处exposed to为过去分词短语作定语。
14．B 考查强调句的特殊疑问形式。其模式为“When/Where/Why/How...＋ is/was it that...？”由had可知应该为过去时，所以答案为B项。
15．A 本题考查强调句型。It is＋被强调部分＋that＋其他，强调句可去掉it is与that还原句子。本句相当于but I object to how she does it。被强调部分是宾语从句，因此，用it引导该句式。
Ⅲ．1．as/which 引导非限定定语从句，修饰an Oscar，作从句的主语补足语。
2．even 实际上，有些人认为奥斯卡颁奖典礼甚至都不能被称作是一个电影节。
3．however 表示和前面的情况的对比，意思是“然而”。
4．While/Although/Though 尽管对外国电影没有限制，但获奖的占少数。此处表示转折关系。
5．Another 另外一个解释为什么把奥斯卡颁奖典礼叫做电影节不合适的原因是……，和前面的one reason对应。
6．to present sth.to sb.意为“将某物颁发给某人”，为固定搭配。
7．eveveryone/everybody 此处指大家都认为奥斯卡奖是一部电影能获得的最出名的奖项。all或many或most都不行，因为后面是agrees，只能用第三人称单数形式。
8．After 在获得奥斯卡奖之后，一部电影的票就卖得非常快，因为大家都想看。
Ⅳ．1．C 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，人类的进化速度和动植物的很相似，人类并不例外。由此可判断动植物的进化速度也适用于人类。
2．A 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Other recent genetic research backs up that belief.”可知最近的其他基因研究也支持“人类还在进化”这一观点，和文章开头的主题句照应。
3．D 推理判断题。第六段中举施瓦辛格的例子是为了证明在人类越来越健壮的进化中，男性成为最令人遗憾的例子。由对施瓦辛格的了解和文段内容可判断阿诺德·施瓦辛格很强壮，力气很大。
4．A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，在未来的后代中，起更大作用的是文化因素。
5．A 主旨大意题。本文第一句就是主题句，后面都是围绕着“人类还在不断地进化”这一观点进行论述的。故答案为A项。

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
Too cold for recess（课间休息）？School policies vary as much as temps.
When is it too cold for schoolchildren to go outside for recess？The answer varies widely based on where a school is located and what the kids are used to.
Consider：One northern Minnesota school says it has to be 15 below zero before kids are kept inside.But in areas along the East Coast，temperatures below 35 to 40 degrees could keep kids inside.Canceling recess because of the cold is no small issue considering that much of the USA is trembling through what may be its coldest winter in a generation，according to AccuWeather.
There is no national temperature standard for when to keep kids inside during the winter months，the US Department of Education says.Decisions are made at the local level，either by principals or school districts.
Consequently，policies are all over the map：
·In International Falls，Minn.，the self-described “Icebox of the Nation，”where the average high temperature in January is 13 degrees，Falls Elementary School Principal Jerry Hilfer says，“if it's 15 below（or warmer），they go out，no matter what.”“At 20 below，it gets iffy，but most probably we will keep them in，”he adds.
·In Wicomico County，Md.，principals typically keep children indoors when temperatures drop below freezing，or if it's raining or snowing，says Susan Jones，the school system's director of elementary education.
·“That's the bottom line，”says Curtis Twilley，principal of Pemberton Elementary School in Salisbury，Md.Twilley says students get little exercise when recess stays indoors.At Pemberton Elementary，the students will typically play board games or computer games in a classroom because the school's gym is occupied with other classes，he says.
·For schools in Marquette，Mich.，which averages about 12 feet of snow per season，school officials acknowledge students are probably a little more prepared than those in some more mild climates.
56．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．No national temperature standard is made for when to keep kids inside during the winter months.
B．Susan Jones insists students get little exercise when recess stays indoors.
C．In Wicomico County，children are kept indoors when temperatures dip below freezing.
D．Mich.has about 12 feet of snow per season on average.
57．Which place calls itself Box of Ice?
A．Wicomico County. B．Marquette. C．Salisbury. D．Minn.
58．Considering______，canceling outside recess in USA because of the cold is a big issue.
A．different schools have different principles
B．much of the USA has very cold winter
C．physical activity can boost student performance
D．decisions are made at the local level
59．The underlined word iffy means ______.
A．uncertain B．surprising C．serious D．worse
60．What will be talked about next?
A．More school policies
B．The reasons why school policies vary.
C．Measures to improve the situation.
D．Necessities to improve the situation.

Kincaid looked at his watch：eight-seventeen.The truck started on the second try，and he backed out，shifted gears，and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun.Through the streets of Bellingham he went，heading south on Washington 11，running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles，then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting US Route 20.
Turning into the sun，he began the long，winding drive through the Cascades.He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.”The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously.In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane，picking up US Route 2，which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth，Minnesota.
He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog，a golden retriever，maybe，for travels like this and to keep him company at home.But he was frequently away；overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal.Still，he thought about it anyway.In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork.“I must get a dog then.”He said to himself.
Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood.The dog was part of it.Robert Kincaid was alone as it's possible to be—an only child，parents both dead，distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them，no close friends.
He thought about Marian.She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage.He was fifty-two now，that would make her just under forty.Marian had dreams of becoming a musician，a folksinger.She knew all of the Weavers' songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle.When he was home in the old days，he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang.
His long absences—two or three months sometimes—were hard on the marriage.He knew that.She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married，and both of them had a vague（not clear）sense that it could all be handled somehow.It couldn't when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and，she was gone.The note read，“Robert，it didn't work out.I left you the Harmony guitar.Stay in touch.”
He didn't stay in touch.Neither did she.He signed the divorce papers when they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day.She had asked for nothing except her freedom.
61．Which route is the right one taken by Kincaid?
A．Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound—US Route 20—US Route 2—Duluth
B．US Route 2—Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound—US Route 20—Duluth
C．US Route 2—US Route 20—Duluth—Bellingham—Washington 11
D．Bellingham—Washington 11—US Route 2—US Route 20—Duluth
62．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Kincaid's parents were dead and he only kept in touch with some distant relatives.
B．Kincaid would have had a dog if he hadn't been away from home too much.
C．Kincaid used to have a golden retriever.
D．Kincaid needed a dog in doing his hard fieldwork.
63．Why did Kincaid stop to take photos while driving?
A．To write “memory snapshots”．
B．To remind himself of places he might want to visit again.
C．To avoid forgetting the way back.
D．To shoot beautiful scenery along the road.
64．What can you know about Marian?
A．She died after five years of marriage.
B．She was older than Kincaid.
C．She could sing very well and earned big money.
D．She was not a professional pop singer.
65．We can draw a conclusion from the passage that ______.
A．Marian knew what would happen before she married Kincaid.
B．Kincaid thought his absence would be a problem when he married Marian.
C．It turned out that Marian could not stand Kincaid's absence and left him.
D．After Marian left him，they still kept in touch with each other.
C
The first time that I had heard the term “EQ” was in the fall of 1995 when the book Emotional Intelligence，by Daniel Goleman，was widely covered by the American press.The widespread research presented in the book supported my own observations and doubts about life and emotions，and told me that I was on the right track to go after happiness.The research continues to confirm what I had concluded on my own：These feelings are extremely important to individual health，happiness，and social harmony.This might seem a bit obvious，but it was not always obvious to me.
I grew up in a family where we didn't talk about feelings.We talked about ideas，concepts and principles.As a result，I could tell you what I thought about everything，but I couldn't tell you how I felt about anything.After several failed relationships，I took time off to reflect on my life and realized I had made many decisions which resulted in unhappiness for myself and others.After studying the literature on emotions and feelings，I concluded that most of my poor decisions could be directly due to what is now called low emotional intelligence，or low EQ，for short.Previously，I struggled to find happiness through the traditional routes—material success.Now，however，I realize that：
There's not much point having either wealth or relationships if you aren't happy.
It is hard to be happy with others if you aren't happy yourself.
It is hard to be happy alone if you don't feel good about yourself，i.e.have high self-esteem and self-confidence.
It is hard to have good feelings about yourself if you don't have good emotional management skills.
Emotional management skills，the main subject of EQ，are，therefore，one of the most basic elements of happiness.
66．The author's views and ideas about life were exactly proved by ______.
A．the widespread reports in American newspapers
B．his own observations and doubts about life and emotions
C．ideas and views in the book Emotional Intelligence
D．the fact that he was on the right track to go after happiness
67．The author's family members ______.
A．are wise and hard-working
B．are wealthy and strong
C．are not good at expressing their own feelings
D．get along badly with each other
68．Before reading the book，the author thought he could have happiness ______.
A．if he could earn a lot of money B．if he could avoid poor decisions
C．if he took time off to reflect on his life D．if he ignored the traditional routes
69．A person who can't feel happy himself ______.
A．will feel happy with lots of friends B．will not get on well with others
C．has no self-esteem at all D．should read the new book on EQ
70．Loneliness most probably comes from ______.
A．lack of wealth and health
B．lack of the presence of others
C．lack of good relationships with others
D．lack of self-confidence and self-esteem
Part Ⅳ Writing（45 marks）
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.
The contemporary environmental movement is often said to have begun with the publication of Silent Spring by the zoologist and biologist Rachel Carson（1907-1964）．This landmark work，which took Carson 4 years to complete，diligently detailed the relationship between animal death and the use— now understood as the abuse—of man-made chemicals used as pesticides，especially DDT.One of the claims of the book that she tried to demonstrate was that DDT had the effect of softening the eggshells of birds as well as interfering with their reproduction，and that such effects would lead to their extinction if use of DDT were to continue.It would eventually create a springtime of silence when the songs of birds would not be heard.Her studies also found DDT to be a cause of human cancers.
Born in Springdale，Pennsylvania，Carson graduated from the Pennsylvania College for Women in Pittsburgh（now Chatham College），where she majored in English until her junior year，when a course in biology inspired her to switch to zoology as her field of concentration.She earned a master's degree in this area from Johns Hopkins University and became a biologist at the Bureau of Fisheries in 1936.During this time，she wrote for various national magazines，and her first book，Under the Sea-Wind，was published.Carson had concerns as early as 1945 about pesticides being used more and more by the government.But her cautionary claims in Silent Spring were met with anger by the pesticide and chemical industries.Her authority as a scientist were challenged，and it was held that her findings were just the roars of a hysterical（歇斯底里的）woman.She was even accused of being a member of the Communist Party.Some go so far as to say that she told a lie.
But she is often celebrated as the founder of the contemporary US environmental movement.Yet her work in Silent Spring，warning about the misuse of pesticides and other chemicals，has not as yet taken firm hold.Americans likely use twice as much the volume of pesticides that they did at the time she published her seminal work，and globally，their use is ever increasing.Powerful pesticides are sold over the counter，and their use is so widespread that many environmentalists are fearful that chemical runoff into streams and rivers is still polluting the animals that humans eat and the water that they drink.
In short，while the main purpose of Silent Spring was to warn the public of the dangers of the overuse of pesticides and chemicals，nonetheless the public hasn't refused such use.Isn't it time that we firmly said no to pesticides？

Section B（10 marks）
Directions：Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
Watching online open classes of US top universities has become necessary for many young Chinese who find it a shortcut to make their life more meaningful，in addition to learning knowledge and language.
Guo Lei，a native of Guangzhou，has become addicted to various open courses after she watched the online video of “Justice：What's the right thing to do.”The video clip was taken during an open class taught by Michael Sandel，professor of philosophy at Harvard University.
Sandel set up a situation in which a high-speed train with a technical problem is running towards five people who are working on the current track，while there is only one worker on the adjacent（相邻的）track.He inspired students to discuss what the driver should do—to change the direction for five lives—which apparently will kill the other—or to do nothing and allow five people to die.
Guo said she was immediately attracted by the topic and the discussion of the Harvard students about morality and justice.She even introduced the case to her colleagues for discussion，since Sandel did not give an answer，unlike most Chinese teachers she knew before.
The inspiring and lively teaching style of American professors refreshed Guo's impression about the traditional score-oriented Chinese educational system and prompted more Chinese to frequently search and watch open class resources of American top colleges，including Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT）and University of California Berkeley.
On China's social networking websites，such as renren.com，kaixin001.com and sina.com，netizens have spontaneously formed many study groups to share video resources and exchange opinions.Volunteers have added English or Chinese subtitles onto the videos to help more Chinese enjoy the videos without language difficulties.
“The popularity of American open classes reflects the spirit of sharing，”said Yu Xinke，Vice chancellor with the Continuous Education School of South China University of Technology.
81．If the train driver changes the current track，how many people will be killed？（No more than 1 word.）
________________________________________________________________________
82．Why can Chinese have no difficulty enjoying the foreign class videos？（No more than 10 words.）

83．Besides knowledge and language，list three other things Chinese can learn from watching such foreign online class？（No more than 15 words.）

参考答案
1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．B 6．C 7．A
8．B 9．C 10．B 11．C 12．A 13．A 14．C
15．C 16．London/Britain 17．working 18．English 19.2002 20．jazz
21．C 否定谓语部分的否定词置于句首要引起部分倒装，即助动词＋主语＋动词的形式。
22．D another为“再一次，又一次”，another life为“下辈子”。句意：日本的第一夫人星期三说如果有来生，她不会再嫁给首相。
23．B possibility后面的分句意义是完整的，不缺任何成分，故需要用that引导possibility的同位语从句，表示possibility的内容。句意：据报道，恶劣天气仍有可能持续。
24．B mean doing是“意味着”，通常主语是动词时应该用-ing形式。句意：取消失业保险会意味着告诉我们数百万的失业邻居们他们只能靠自己了。
25．C battle意思是“战场”，后面为其定语从句，而从句的成分齐全，不缺主、宾和表语，则不能用关系代词引导定语从句，故排除that；what不能引导定语从句，也排除；所以只能用关系副词where引导定语从句，表示“人人都想展示自己的能力（的战场）”。
26．A 因为语境中说现在只有六点钟，但小汤姆应该已经起床了，所以是指sleep的动作从过去一直持续到现在的六点钟，故用现在完成进行时表示“汤姆到现在为止已经睡了9个小时了”。
27．C would have done表示对过去或已经发生的事情虚拟，意思是“当初本来会或本来已经……”。此处第二位说话人是在责备第一位，“昨晚本不应该看那个电影的，要不然你到现在本来已经完成任务了”。need have done是错误用法，因为need只能用在否定或疑问句中作情态动词；may have finished是推测，不是虚拟，意思是“可能已经完成了”，那就是真的可能完成了，但与语境不符；will have finished是推测用法，可表示到现在为止的有很大把握的推测，“你到现在为止已经完成了”，也可表示到将来某个时间已经做完的事情，其实就是将来完成时。
28．D 此处为过去分词短语作状语的用法。因状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致，故可以省略从句的主语和谓语，仅用过去分词形式的形容词作状语。完整形式为：Peter is worried that he might lose his job。
29．C but是连词，后面原本应该是一个分句but his suggestion made others happy，但可以省略一些共同的成分，made和主语his suggestion。
30．D 本句为when引导的时间状语从句。it指时间。若填that则应该为It was at about 5 o'clock in ...that they had their supper.what作从句引导词时，须作主语、宾语或表语，但从句中不缺成分；before＋时间点是一个很粗略的时间点，只要在他们吃完晚饭之前的任何一点都叫before they had their supper，所以和具体的时间点It was about 5 o'clock冲突。
31．A 根据语境，此处应该表示“具有典型的中国年轻一代的特点”，故答案为A项；B项改为an example of才对；conventional of...为错误搭配；true of...表示“适用于……的”，不合语境。
32．B 根据winning it可知，整句意思应该是“由于只有五个女孩争取这个职位，她有着很大的胜算”。try out for为“参加……的选拔赛，角逐……”；have a go at意思是“尝试”；take part in为“参加”；work out at为“算出数字是……”。
33．C 考查非限制性定语从句和部分倒装。后半句应该是the peak的非限制性定语从句，从句中的主语为a temple，是名词，谓语动词为stood，此为全部倒装；由于stood是不及物动词，故没有宾语，就不能用which，而只能接状语，故需用where＝on which。
34．A 我们得到学生证之前是不能用图书馆的，这些证件会证明我们是图书馆的合法使用者。
35．B the first/second...to do是固定搭配，表示“第几个做某事的人”。句意：老师知道从去年九月开始你总是第一个到教室的人。
36．A 文章在说明 “近些年来，社区里人们之间的关系越来越疏远的原因是没有人主动去跟别人打招呼”。通过下文作者在社区图书馆主动跟陌生人打招呼可知作者决定主动来 “改变”自己的做法。change “改变”；explain “解释”；learn “学会”；show “展示”。故选A项。
37．D 一天早晨在社区图书馆的时候机会来了。通过上下文及后面的 “My best opportunity came”可知作者的这一次机会没有抓住。trouble “麻烦”；doubt “怀疑”；wish “愿望”；opportunity “机会”。故选D项。
38．B 一个女孩橱柜里的书掉落在了地上。通过下文中的“help her pick them up” 可知是书掉落在地上。take sth. out of “把……从……拿出”；drop sth. out of “……从……掉落”；get sth. out of “把……从……取出”；pull sth. out of “把……从……拖出”。故选B项。
39．C 作者继续向前走，但因为忘记了拿书，所以又回来了。come out “出现，出版”；stand by “袖手旁观”；go back “回来”；turn up “出现；露面”。故选C项。
40．C 通过 “packing them up by herself”可知女孩自己捡起了书，所以没有人停下来去帮助她。please “使高兴”；greet “打招呼”；help “帮助”；praise “表扬”。故选C项。
41．A 通过后面的 “so I sat down next to him”可知男人是独自坐在那儿等着图书馆开门。sit “坐”；walk “走”；ride “骑”；run “跑”。故选A项。
42．D 通过常识可知我们与陌生人的交往都是从 “搭讪；会话”开始。discussion “讨论”；lesson “课”；report “报告”；conversation “交谈；会话”。故选D项。
43．B 作者与陌生人之间的会话是一问一答，而对方的每一次回答都充满了疑问的语气。joke “玩笑”；response “回答”；cry “喊叫；哭泣”；story “故事”。故选B项。
44．B 通过上文中陌生人的反应可知 “人们不习惯跟一个陌生人进行一次未经准备的对话”。unchangeable “不能改变的”；unprepared “未经准备的”；unforgettable “难以忘怀的”；unfinished “未完成的”。故选B项。
45．A 作者在此感叹 “不管这种变化是多么极度地被需要，它还是不会发生”。desperately “拼命地；绝望地；极度地”；frequently “经常地”；simply “简单地”；widely “广泛地”。故选A项。
46．D 作者在此建议人们主动迈出第一步去作出改变，去跟别人主动打招呼。allow “允许”；warn “警告”；order “命令”；advise “建议”。故选D 项。
47．C 作者在此表达的意思是 “我们一起努力就能真正使社会中人与人之间的关系更加密切”。closer “更加密切的”符合题意；故选C项。
48．what “我”希望他们真正理解“给予”的含义。what是about的宾语。
49．that/who who引导定语从句并在从句中作主语。
50．them 将礼物袋子装满灌装的物品……
51．to to one's surprise“令某人吃惊的是”。
52．and filled和put之间为承接关系。
53．It 几天之后我们看见一个男人沿着主街推着一辆/他的板车。It was＋一段时间＋before...意思是“一段时间之后……”。

55．Then 然后我们祝他圣诞快乐。
56．B 倒数第三段中Susan Jones的唯一引言是“...principals typically keep children indoors when temperatures drop below freezing，or if it's raining or snowing...”，可见B项不对。
57．D 由第五段的“In International Falls，Minn.，the self-described ‘Icebox of the Nation’”可见答案。
58．B 由第三段最后一句可见答案。
59．A 根据第五段最后一句话中的 but most probably和前句的no matter what可知答案。
60．A 选项B的内容已经在文章中谈到了，如说自己的地域是美国的icebox；C和D选项不合情理，因为这只是一个选择在室内还是室外度过课间休息的问题，没有什么需要改善。另外，最后一段仍然是某具体地域的学校自己的原则，可见下面会继续列举不同地域的学校的政策。
61．A 通读第一、二段可看出。
62．B 从第三段中的“He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog... But he was frequently away；overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal.”可得出此答案。
63．B 从第二段中的“The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again...”可得出此答案。
64．D 从第五段中的“Marian had dreams of becoming a musician，a folksinger.”可得出此答案。
65．C 从文章中最后两段可得出此结论。
66．C 第一段第二句中说作者对生活的观察和疑虑都得到了这本书中所呈现的研究结果的支持。这就是说这本书中的东西证实了他的观点和看法。
67．C 作者说他的家庭成员只谈事情不谈感受，由此可知，他们可能不善于表达自己的感情。
68．A 由文中第二段倒数第二句，尤其是traditional routes（传统道路）—material success，也就是财富或金钱可知。
69．B be happy with others相当于get on well with others。 由此可知，选项B正确。

Section C
One day，Xiao Ming saw a little girl fall over.He wanted to help the girl up，but his mother stopped him and said，“Don't do that，otherwise others will think it was you who knocked her down.”Another day，the mother was shocked to see Xiao Ming just let the fallen cooking oil bottle be.And Xiao Ming said to his mother，“If I had straightened the bottle up，you would have thought that I did it.”
I disagree with what the mother did in the story.I think parents should teach their children to do the morally right，not just warn them not to get involved in trouble.They should let their children know it is a pleasure to help others who are in need.Anyway，who wouldn't want a hand when they need one？Their children someday may be in the same situation.
If everyone shows a little kindness，we will all surely benefit.But if you don't care about others' problems，you can be the next one to be left alone when in need.
