A. one B. it

A. got B. getting
C. to get D. having got

A. which B. whose
C. of whom D. of which

12．(2013·长沙二模)— What did Michael do after graduating from university
— He considered advertising before settling on teaching. He ________ that ever since.
A. did B. does
C. has been doing D. had been doing
答案与解析 C 根据对话语境可知，Michael从那时起一直在从事教学工作，即教学的动作从过去开始到现在一直在进行，因此，应用现在完成进行时态has been doing。故答案选C。
13．(2013·天津12区二模)No sooner ________ down on bed ________ the telephone rang.

C. did he lie; than D. had he laid; before
答案与解析 A 句意：他一躺在床上，电话就响了。固定句式No sooner ... than ...“一……就……”，no sooner后面的主句部分用过去完成时的部分倒装形式，即No sooner had＋主语＋done，故选A项。

D. convenient as a life as
答案与解析 B 句意：加油， Maria！你若不灰心，你也能享受到你梦想中的便利生活。as/so/how/too等修饰单数名词短语时的语序是：as/so/how/too＋形容词＋a/an＋单数名词，所以B项正确。
15．(2013·哈尔滨质检二)— I forgot my mother's birthday!

Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2013·四川成都二次诊断)
People think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars. And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months, anyway. Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months. I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting, and some acted just simply rudely. I started hating the way I was treated, and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜) before were pretty ordinary. So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths (神秘). If the star was a bad guy, I would say so. If I thought anyone was stupid, I did not hold back that information.
I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty. Surprisingly, many of them hated me for it. I have got so many attacks on my character. In their eyes, being famous is everything, even more desirable than being truly creative and talented.
Why do we need stars In fact, the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip (闲聊). Over time, talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about. Thus, some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends. That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview — as we care. We want the dirt on their personal lives.
There is another reason we worship stars. As a whole, our society is not as religious as it once was. It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did. Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.
We make them stars, but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant，and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die. I am part of this whole process. No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday.
请相信你自己，不要盲目崇拜明星！
16．What are the stars like according to the author
A. They always treat others rudely.
B. They always talk about something dull.
C. They are actually ordinary people.
D. They are usually honest and polite.
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第四句“... these people I had had worshipped before were pretty ordinary.”可知答案选C。
17．We worship stars because ________.
A. we need true mental heroes to support us
B. we can learn something useful from famous stars
C. we concern about the stars, family and friends
D. we like talking about the stars' dressing styles
答案与解析 A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，我们崇拜明星是因为我们自己无法实现的英雄梦，所以我们需要一个精神上的英雄来给予我们支持。
18．When the author is writing this article, his tone sounds ________.
A. excited B. angry
C. worried D. calm
答案与解析 D 观点态度题。根据第三、四两段作者对人们为什么会崇拜明星所做的客观分析可知，作者写文章时的语气是平和的。
19．What is the main purpose of the author writing the passage
A. To show the disadvantages of working with stars.
B. To remind us not to worship famous stars blindly.
C. To laugh at the failures of stars he has interviewed.
D. To talk about the reasons why we worship stars.
答案与解析 B 推理判断题。通过亲身经历，作者告诉我们明星不过是和我们一样的普通人，没有什么可崇拜的。人们之所以会崇拜明星，一方面是媒体的炒作，另一方面是自身信仰的缺失。由此推断，作者写这篇文章的目的就是要提醒我们不要盲目崇拜明星。

April Fools' Day and Other Joking Days in the World
April Fools' Day is celebrated in many countries including the UK and the USA on April 1st every year. Sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day, April 1st is not a national holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated as a day when people play practical jokes on each other.
In France and Italy, children and adults traditionally put paper fishes on each other's back as a trick and shout “April fish！” in their local languages on this very day. Such fish feature mainly on many French April Fools' Day postcards from the 19th to early 20th century.
In Scotland, April Fools' Day is traditionally called Hunt the Gowk Day. The traditional trick is to ask someone to deliver a message requesting help of some sort. In fact, the message reads “Dinna laugh, dinna smile. Hunt the fool another mile”. The receiver, upon reading it, will send the victim to another person with the same message.
In Denmark, May 1st is known as “Maj kat”， meaning “May cat”， and is also a joking day. May 1stis also celebrated in Sweden as an alternative joking day. When someone has been fooled in Sweden, to show that it was a joke, the joker says“May May moon, I can fool you into Scania”for May 1st jokes. Both Danes and Swedes also celebrate April Fools' Day.
In Spain, a similar date is December 28th, Christian day of celebration of the “Day of the Holy Innocents”. The Christian celebration is a holiday in its own right, a religious one, but the tradition of tricks is not, though the latter is observed every year. After somebody plays a joke or a trick on somebody else, the joker usually laughs out, “You innocent little dove that let yourself be fooled”.

April Fools' Day is celebrated in many countries including the UK and the USA on April 1st every year. Sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day, April 1st is not a national holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated as a day when people play practical jokes on each other.
In France and Italy, children and adults traditionally put paper fishes on each other's back as a trick and shout “April fish！” in their local languages on this very day. Such fish feature mainly on many French April Fools' Day postcards from the 19th to early 20th century.
In Scotland, April Fools' Day is traditionally called Hunt the Gowk Day. The traditional trick is to ask someone to deliver a message requesting help of some sort. In fact, the message reads “Dinna laugh, dinna smile. Hunt the fool another mile”. The receiver, upon reading it, will send the victim to another person with the same message.
In Denmark, May 1st is known as “Maj kat”， meaning “May cat”， and is also a joking day. May 1stis also celebrated in Sweden as an alternative joking day. When someone has been fooled in Sweden, to show that it was a joke, the joker says“May May moon, I can fool you into Scania”for May 1st jokes. Both Danes and Swedes also celebrate April Fools' Day.
In Spain, a similar date is December 28th, Christian day of celebration of the “Day of the Holy Innocents”. The Christian celebration is a holiday in its own right, a religious one, but the tradition of tricks is not, though the latter is observed every year. After somebody plays a joke or a trick on somebody else, the joker usually laughs out, “You innocent little dove that let yourself be fooled”.

(2013·咸阳二模)
One day last month, a group of Chinese student arrived in Brisbane. I was one of them. After speaking goodbye to my dear parents at Beijing Airport, I started my long journey. That was my first journey abroad! How exciting I felt when I got on board. We left Shanghai to Hongkong to change to another plane to Melbourne, second largest city in Australia. From there we went to Brisbane, that is the capital city of Queensland, Australia. We were exchange students and send to the country by their government to learn English in Brisbane for twelve months. From the first few lessons, we found the teachers there really worked hardly, and I am sure of everything will go well in the next months.
