While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was 19 ,nothing about my term in France was what I 20 .
The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 21 by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting 22 I received some shocking news from my program coordinator(协调人): there had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to 23 out of one family’s house and into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a 24 this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation(诱惑)to 25 my native language, I asked not to be 26 with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 27 myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian(巴西人) the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDs! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the 28 .
I left France with many 29 , so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always 30 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends 31 France we enjoyed together. I love how people 32 seem so different, but end up being so 33 .The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people 34 to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful 35 .

Ⅲ. 阅读理解
A
Like many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star. There are two ways to go about getting one. First there is the traditional way. Find some friends and form a group. Learn to play the guitar or the drums. Write your own songs. Spend hours arguing about the band name. Then go on the road.
The next step is to spend a year or two touring. If you are good, the crowds will get bigger. In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. If he or she likes you, there may be a deal. This is the route traditionally followed by bands in the music industry. Success means fame and wealth. And failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children.
Over the last few years a different path to success has become known. Boy bands like Boyzone and girl bands like the Spice Girls don’t come together on their own. They are created by managers and record companies. Their image is strictly controlled. Professional song writers usually write their music. This is a convenient arrangement and the public seems to love the result.
Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently, there is a long tradition of making music in this way. In the early 1960s, an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records. Motown is short for “motor town”. The record company was based in the city of Detroit, where thousands of African-Americans had moved to work in the car industry. They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music. This style later became known as “soulmusic”. Berry Gordy was a diamond miner. He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone. Motown stars were not just given songs to sing. They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly.
36. In the first paragraph the writer seems to tell us ________.
A. to form a band is very hard
B. the name of the band is very important
C. newly-built bands can only perform by road
D. to form a band is very simple
37. If a newborn band wants to succeed, as the writer tells, it must have the chance ________.
A. to travel in big cities
B. to perform before an artist
C. to make an agreement with a record company
D. to experience failure again and again
38. From the fourth paragraph, we can conclude that ________.
A. Motown was only enjoyed by the workers in Detroit
B. Motown showed the style of the black Americans
C. Detroit used to be famous for its music industry
D. Detroit was founded by African-Americans
39. From the passage, we can learn that Motown stars ________.
A. used to be miners
B. used to dress poorly
C. became perfect little by little
D. came from Berry Gordy’s hometown
B
Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can’t wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
“I’d use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a.m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open,” said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented (增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one’s surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
“As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn’t something anybody needs,” said Sam Biddle, who writes for . “We’re accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things,” he added, “and the average consumer isn’t gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that’s hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”
9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
“It’s just like smartphones 10 years ago,” Weintraub said. “A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it’s unnatural,” he said. “There’s gonna be improvements to that, and this a step there.”
40. One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to .
A. program the opening hours of a bar
B. supply you with a picture of the future
C. provide information about your surroundings
D. update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
41. The underlined phrase “pop up” in the third paragraph probably means “ ”.
A. develop rapidly
B. get round quickly
C. appear immediately
D. go over automatically
42. According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are .
A. necessary for teenagers
B. attractive to New Yorkers
C. available to people worldwide
D. expensive for average consumers
43. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses .
A. may have a potential market
B. are as common as smartphones
C. are popular among young adults
D. will be improved by a new technology
C
We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.
“You could win prizes,” our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.”
We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colours against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.
Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but coloured construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer’s attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.
I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.
Minutes passed.
No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.
I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What poster When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.
44. What was the teacher’s requirement for the poster
A. It must appear in time.
B. It must be done in class.
C. It must be done on a construction sheet.
D. It must include the words on the blackboard.
45. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 most probably means________.
A. formed an idea for
B. made an outline for
C. made some space for
D. chose some colours for
46. After the teacher’s words, all the students in the class ________.
A. looked very serious
B. thought they would be rich
C. began to think about their designs
D. began to play games
47. After seeing the good students’ designs, some students ________.
A. loved their own designs more
B. thought they had a fair chance
C. put their own designs in a corner
D. thought they wouldn’t win the prize
D
Music is an international language. The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.
Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the streets.
Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of the American people. Most of the radio broadcast is music.
Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or a tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.
There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.
Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music. Music for instruments is called orchestra music(管弦乐), such as the symphonies(交响乐)of Beethoven. There is opera(歌剧)for singers. There is ballet(芭蕾舞剧)for dancers like the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in China.
48. In what way can music be regarded as an international language?
A. Popular music is what everyone enjoys.
B. The songs that are sung or played by instruments are so beautiful and understandable that everyone can enjoy them.
C. When music is played, it seems as if it were speaking to us.
D. Music is so popular throughout the world that everyone can play it.
49. What can we know about music and people in America
A. Student drivers carry small radios with earphones when they drive on the streets.
B. Students always listen to music before class, in class and after class.
C. Adult drivers listen to news as well as music when they drive to work.
D. Adult drivers never listen to music when they drive to work.

答案与解析
1. A 句意:警察一发现有足够的证据证明那个嫌疑犯有罪,就立即逮捕了他。the moment可用作连词,引导时间状语从句,相当于as soon as。as long as只要;as far as就……而言。
2. C 句意:在申请这个职位时,你认为你有什么超过其他人的优势?根据句意可知C项正确。
3. C 句意:这篇文章的作者认为,是考试制度而不是教师该为当今中学生沉重的负担负责。other than“除了”;or rather“更确切地说”;more than“多于”;rather than“而不是”。
4. C 句意:因为交通阻塞,当她到达办公室时已经是午休的时间了。此处应为when引导的时间状语从句,故选C项。
5. B 句意:这本词典正在印刷,不久将出版。turn out“关掉,结果是,出席”;come out“出版”;start out“出发”;go out“外出”。
6. D far from“远非”。句意:她对此一点儿也不满意,她很生气。
7. D devote...to…表示“把……投入到……;致力于……”,to是介词,后接动名词形式。
8. A 句意:在面试中那个年轻人行为古怪,给雇主留下了不好的印象。make a bad impression on sb.意思是“给某人留下坏印象”。
9. B 句意:数千人走上街头,抗议新法律。protest against sth. “抗议某事物”。
10. C 句意:尽管过程中出现了一些意想不到的困难,但我们相信我们能解决。arise意为“出现,产生”,为不及物动词,符合题意。rise“上升”,为不及物动词;raise“升起,举起”,为及物动词;arouse“唤醒,鼓励”,为及物动词。
11. C 考查动词词义辨析。句意:他把下一年的所有开支作了一下预算。estimate“估计”;predict“预测”;budget“预算”;calculate“考虑;计算”。根据句意可知应选C项。
12. B 考查短语辨析。句意:这个小男孩努力够树上的苹果却没有够到,因为他太矮了,够不着。in surprise“吃惊地”;in vain“徒劳地”;in wonder“惊奇地”;in doubt“怀疑地”。分析句意,由for he was too short to reach them可知应选B项。

14. D 句意:我对他给我们做的讲话感到厌烦,太长了。人作主语,表示所处的状态,应用“-ed”形式,故排除A、C两项。be/feel tired with/from“因……感到疲劳”,be/feel bored with“厌烦……”。由句意可知D项正确。
15. B 该题考查“It+ be+ some time+ before/since...”句型。由句中的it is possible…的时态以及句意可知应用before。句意:科学家们说或许还要五到十年这种药才可能在人体上进行试验。
16. B 文章刚开始说我很幸运,能被选中参加交流学习项目,因此在申请信中,我仔细地表达了自己多么想去看看法国。express表达,符合语境。discuss讨论;announce宣布;argue辩论,这三项均不符合语境。
17. B 一旦我知道我要去时,我能想到的全是要到国外旅行的快乐。know知道,符合语境。approve批准,与主语I之间应为动宾关系;warn警告;deny否认,均不符合语境。
18. D 作者想到的都是好玩的事情,与new并列的自然应该是interesting,而非stubborn固执的,anxious焦急的或universal普遍的。
19. C 根据本空所在的语境“虽然旅行是鼓舞人心的,与人相识是 的”可知,空格处与inspiring在结构上平行,意义一致,是个褒义词,故排除boring枯燥的,upsetting不安的。promising有前途的,在此语境中讲不通,也可排除。exciting令人兴奋的,符合语境。
20. A 承接上文,“虽然旅行是鼓舞人心的,与人相识是令人兴奋的,但是我在法国的这个学期却与预想的毫不相同。”what I expected我所期望的。
21. C 我一到巴黎,就受到了一对和蔼的法国夫妇的迎接,他们将成为我的寄宿父母。be greeted by sb.由某人迎接,符合语境。sponsor主办,赞助;witness目睹,经历;support支持。
22. A 此处指“在得知那个令人吃惊的消息前,我的整个经历都是使人高兴的,令人兴奋的”。until引导时间状语从句,表示“直到……”,符合语境。
23. A 由上文可知我寄宿父母的家族中有人去世,他们必须出国几周,因此,我不得不从他们家搬出来入住另外一家。move搬动,移动,符合语境。
24. C 由后文的 whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker可知,我要跟一个说英语的人共用一个卧室。roommate室友,符合语境。第26空后的with an English-speaking roommate也给出了提示。
25. C 此处表示“为了避免讲母语的诱惑……”,speak my native language讲母语,符合语境。
26. D 我要求不要跟一个讲英语的室友住在一起。place放置,安排,be placed with与……被放在一起,符合语境。combine结合;fit适应;involve牵涉,包含,涉及,均不符合语境。
27. B 根据语境可知,作者到达新房间后,对新室友进行了“自我介绍”。introduce oneself to自我介绍,为固定搭配。
28. A 文章第一段就提到了my term,显然此处表示“仅仅几个小时后,我们就知道在这一学期剩下的时间里,我们将会是好朋友”。故用term。
29. C 结合本题语境“当人们问起我旅行中最喜欢的部分时,我总会告诉他们……”可知,该空表示我带着很多“故事”离开了法国,而不是“礼物”“行李箱”或“梦想”。
30. A 根据语境可知,他们总是很惊讶地听我讲起我的巴西朋友……。surprised吃惊的,符合语境。其他三项disturbed打扰的,embarrassed尴尬的,concerned担心的,均不符合语境。
31. B 根据本题所给语境“我们一起快乐地度过的……以及探索法国的周末时光”可知此处为exploring France,即“我跟巴西朋友在法国四处走动”。analyze分析,describe描述,investigate调查,研究,均不符合语境。
32. D 这里表示我喜欢人们能看起来如此不同,但结果却如此相似。can“能,会”,表示客观上的可能性。
33. C 由but可知,该空所填词要与different意义相反,故选similar“相似的”。其他三项generous慷慨的,independent独立的,distant疏远的,均不符合语境。
34. B 由语境“不只是尊重法国人,而是要尊重所有人”可知,前后表示转折关系,要用转折连词but连接。
35. B 前面提到,我在法国交流学习时交到了一个巴西的好朋友,我们在一起度过了很多有意义的时光,因此,此处我要给任何想体验外国文化和获得有意义的友谊的人推荐交流项目。所以选friendships。
36. D 推断题。依据第一段中“First...”所在的句子可看出作者认为组成一个乐队非常简单。
37. C 细节题。根据第二段中的“In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. If he or she likes you, there may be a deal. ”可知C项正确。
38. B 细节题。依据该段中的“...where thousands of African-Americans had moved to work in the car industry. ”可确定选B项。
39. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone…and speak properly.”可知C项是最佳选项。
40. C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的描述“...a technology already available on smartphones and tablets that overlays information onto the screen about one’s surroundings.”可知“智能手机和平板电脑的这种技术能将周围环境的信息覆盖到屏幕上”,再结合后文的举例可知,这种类似于智能手机的眼镜的功能之一就是能为你提供周围环境的信息。
41. C 词义猜测题。 根据文章第三段可知,这种类似于智能手机的眼镜能为使用者提供周围环境的信息,例如:如果你走在大街上,指示器就会立即告诉你最近的咖啡店或其他一些信息。根据画线词后面的“showing you the nearest coffee shop”可知pop up的意思为appear immediately“立即出现”。A项意为“快速发展”,B项意为“(消息)快速传开”,D项意为“自动复习”。
42. D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段所述“...and the average consumer isn’t gonna be able to afford another device that’s hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”可知Sam Biddle认为对于普通顾客而言,他们没有能力来购买如此贵的装置。
43. A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段,Seth Weintraub认为这种可戴式新科技产品最终会像其他智能手机一样普遍。再结合最后一段的例子特别是最后一句“There’s gonna be improvements to that, and this a step there.”可看出这种新科技产品会很快流行起来,言外之意是这种新科技产品的市场潜力很大。
44. D 事实细节题。从第二段“...make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster. ”可知,老师的要求是黑板上的内容需在海报中出现。
45. A 猜测词义题。conjure up意为“想起;使……呈现于脑际”。从对称的结构“Some...while we conjured up our designs.”与下文的“Others...while deep in thought.”可以猜测出该词词义。
46. C 事实细节题。第三段生动、形象地描写了同学们思考时的各种动作。
47. D 事实细节题。从第四段“...wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. ”可知,看到优秀学生的作品后,另外一些学生对自己这次的参赛作品更加信心不足了。
48. B 本文在开篇第一段即点明“音乐是国际语言”,主要标志就是世界各地的人都喜欢音乐。
49. C C项与文中第三段所述一致,其他选项均不相符。
50. D 共提到七种音乐:pop/popular, folk, western/ country, orchestra, symphonies, opera, ballet。
51. C 乡村音乐今昔有别,当初是牛仔唱给牛听的,现在任何关于乡村生活或乡村青年爱情的音乐都可称为西部音乐或乡村音乐。

Dear Ms Li,
I’m very happy to have you as our English teacher.
As the world is becoming a global village, English is getting more and more important, so mastering English means we can see the world through a new window.
My English is just OK and the two main problems in my study are that I feel it difficult to learn words by heart, and that I often feel nervous when speaking English. I really hope that you can give me good advice on how to memorize new words. Another suggestion is to give us more chances to practice speaking. I believe we can make much progress in English with your help.
Thank you!
