Ⅱ. 阅读表达
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
Many times in our life we will think about ourselves and our life. But maybe no one can answer exactly what the true meaning of life is. Now let us step into the following story. It may give you something helpful for the question.
A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. They held a heated conversation and the conversation lasted for a long time.
Then the conversation turned into complaints about stress in work and in life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a lot of cups—porcelain (瓷的), plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, some perfect, telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students ______, the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves that is the source of your problems and stress.”
OK, now we can say what all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other’s cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and do not change the quality of life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cups, we fail to enjoy the coffee. So, don’t let the cups drive you run in a wrong direction. Instead we should really learn to enjoy the coffee in life.
Remember it forever! OK?
16. What is the best title of the passage?
_______________________________________
17. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
While you needed coffee not the cup in fact, you chose to pick up best cups and at the same time looked at the cups in others’ hands.
_______________________________________
18. Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(within 10 words)
_______________________________________
19. What do you learn after reading the passage?(within 30 words)
_______________________________________
Ⅲ. 短文改错

Dear Editor,
I’m a middle school student naming Lily. I’m writing to tell you something I don’t think it good. Recently I’ve noticed many of my classmates often went to the Internet bar near our school. The other day I went there, too. I was very surprising to see many students playing games, seeing films and chatting. Some were even talking about love affairs online. In my opinion, an Internet bar should be a place which we can find much useful information. As is known to all that the Internet is a window to an outside world rather than a place for games. The Internet is good if we make good use it. Otherwise, it will do us great harm. So the local government should take measure to make sure that the students use Internet bars positively.
答案与解析
1. C 句意:真巧啊!她和我竟在同一时间到达。coincidence意为“巧合”,What a coincidence意为“真巧啊”。acquaintance意为“熟人”,consequence意为“结果”,circumstance意为“情况,环境”,均不符合题意。
2. B 句意:尽管缺钱,他的父母还是设法把他送进了一所好大学。lack可作动词,与句子主语his parents构成逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用现在分词作状语。C项可以改为lacking in,be lacking in是固定搭配。lack作名词时可以和of搭配,表示“……的缺乏”,但是一般用a lack of…。
3. D 句意:“离考试只有两天了,我很紧张。”“别着急,祝你好运!”be nervous about意为“对……紧张”,符合题意。serious意为“严肃的,严重的”;curious意为“好奇的”;cautious意为“谨慎的”。
4. C 句意:我认为约翰一定会帮助你的,他乐于助人,除此之外,他还是你的好朋友。in addition意为“除此之外,而且”;in return意为“反过来,作为回报”;in turn意为“依次,轮流”;in fact意为“事实上”。
5. B 句意:我必须向你道歉,因为没有让你提前知道。apologize for是固定搭配,意为“为……道歉”,for是介词,后接动名词作宾语,动名词的否定形式是not doing。A项意思是“让你不知道”,不符合我们的说话习惯。
6. D 句意:以我的观点来看,真正的朋友是在你沮丧的时候总是为你加油的人。cheer sb. up意为“为……加油,喝彩”,符合题意。put up意为“张贴,搭建”;give up意为“放弃”;pick up意为“开车接(某人),接受,无意中学会”。
7. A 句意:很多人都反对这个新政策,然而一些律师却支持它。in favour of是介词短语,意为“支持”。in memory of意为“为了纪念……”;in honor of意为“为了纪念……,为了表示对……的敬意”;in search of意为“为了寻找”,均不符合题意。
8. D 句意:如果你想选出正确的答案,就必须从文中找到关键信息。find out意为“找到(信息),发现(真相)”;leave out意为“删掉,遗漏”;let out意为“让出去”;make out意为“理解,辨认出”。
9. A 句意:我很抱歉打断你的谈话,但是我有紧急的事情要告诉你。interrupt意为“打断,打扰(尤指别人的谈话)”,符合题意。
10. B 句意:“你和汤姆熟吗?”“是的,我们第一次在一次会上见面就成了好朋友。”the first time可以作连词,引导时间状语从句。by the time“截止到……时间”;since“自从”,引导时间状语从句时主句要用延续性动词的现在完成时;as long as“只要”。
11. C 句意:“你打扫房间了吗?”“不,我没必要(打扫),我哥哥已经替我干了。”didn’t need to do表过去没必要做某事(事实上也没做);needn’t have done表本没必要做某事(事实上已经做了),与事实相反。
12. B 句意:“今天早晨我给他邮寄了一本非常有趣的故事书。”“你本没必要这么做的,他明天早晨就要来了。” needn’t have done表本没必要做某事(事实上已经做了)。从作者语气来看,他明早就来了,你本没必要给他邮寄过去的。didn’t need to do表过去没必要做某事(事实上也没做)。
13. C 句意:他是一个有着超前思想的人并且经常提前做出详细的计划。advanced形容词,意为“先进的,高级的”。in advance是固定搭配,意为“提前”。
14. A 句意:“尤塞恩·博尔特真是了不起。”“是的,谁能想象他又破了世界纪录呢?”imagine sb./sb.’s doing sth.“想象某人做某事”,是固定用法,imagine后只跟doing,或是doing的复合结构sb./sb.’s doing。
15. B 句意:在有些国家,你一定不能送主人黄色的花,因为黄色意味着失去爱。mustn’ t表“一定不能,禁止”。needn’t意为“不必要”;may not意为“可能不”;don’t have to意为“没必要”。
16. Life in a cup of coffee
17. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups
and eyeing each other’s cups.
18. had a cup of coffee in hand
19. Life is full of pressure, which is because we change the true meaning of life. Sometimes, we only concentrate on our final aim but fail to enjoy the true life.

答案与解析
1. C 考查冠词的用法。此句的第一个空特指“跳高的金牌”,故用定冠词the;第二个空意为“再得到一次机会”,泛指一次机会。句意:他在跳高中失去了金牌,但他在跳远中将再得到一次机会。
2. A 考查代词的用法。此处whoever是代词,意为“任何人,无论谁”,作to的宾语。句意:你看完书后,把书给露西或海伦,或谁都行。
3. D 考查代词的用法。所填词作使役动词make的形式宾语,真正的宾语是to go for a walk before breakfast。故选D。
4. D 考查交际用语。由前面的Yes可知,第二个人同意对方用他的电话,所以用of course。学生可能会误选A,with pleasure意为“乐意帮忙”,而这个题是说对方可以用他的电话,所以with pleasure在这儿不合题意。
5. C 考查情态动词的用法。shall用于第二、三人称,表示说话人给对方命令、警告、允诺或威胁等。这儿是说根据学校规定学生在校时都必须穿校服。
6. A 句意:无论有多么困难,他都尽力去解决这个问题。however相当于no matter how,表示“无论怎样”。故选A。
7. B 句意:大学毕业以后,她到达了一个转折点,在这个转折点上她需要决定去做什么。point为先行词,在定语从句中作状语,所以选where。
8. C 句意:“这次试验失败的原因是什么?”“因为缺少资金。”由What提问可知,空格处需要填写名词词组作主语,故C项符合要求。A、B、D三项只能作状语。
9. A 句意:你太善良了。我永远不会忘记你对我的帮助。do sb. a favour“帮某人一个忙”,是固定用法。故选A。
10. C 从句意看“返回”的目的是“核实”,make sure表示“查明,弄明白”。故选C。
11. D 本题考查时间状语从句的引导词。the moment相当于as soon as意为“一……就……”。
12. B 句意:我可以想象一周后露西正航行在太平洋上。imagine sb. doing sth.“想象某人做某事”。
13. B 句意:从一些发达国家引进先进的技术是明智的。advanced“先进的,高级的”;advancing“前进的,年长的”。
14. B appointment“约会,约定”;application“申请”;apposition“并列”;appreciation“感谢”。由句意可知B项正确。
15. A apologise to sb. for(doing)sth.与make an apology to sb. for (doing)sth.为固定搭配,表示“因(做了)某事向某人道歉”。
16. A 因为这是一则广告,所以最有可能出现在报纸上。
17. C 根据“Trips to museums and culture centres are also organized.”可得知答案。
18. C 广告指出如果在同座城市有亲戚或朋友的话,可以选择与他们居住,这样可以省去住宿费$400,只需要付给学校$500。
19. B 根据广告中的“The letters should be written in English with all the necessary information.”可知答案。
