My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone is busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks anymore; more and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on schooldays, even in winter. But now students don’t. And in school, children don’t have to think anymore. In maths class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide (加减乘除) by using our heads. But now kids don’t use their heads anymore; instead, they use calculators (计算器).
Most families have computers and there are lights at home now. In the past we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don’t often eat home-cooked food.
And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t simple anymore.
26．What does my grandfather think of the life now
A．He thinks the life now is very good.
B．He thinks the life now is worse than it used to be.
C．He thinks the life now is better than it used to be.
D．He thinks the life now is the same as it used to be.

A．生活 B．工作 C．婚姻 D．家庭
28．What has happened these years according to the passage
A．Children don’t have to think anymore in school.
B．Students use calculators in maths class.
C．Students used to walk to school, but now they don’t.
D．All of the above.
29．What changes have happened to families
① There are lights at home.
② People often eat home-cooked food.
③ Lots of families have computers.
④ More couples (夫妇) live apart because of unhappy problems.
A．①②④ B．②③④ C．①②③ D．①③④

D．Lots of mothers stay at home and look after their children now.

My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was a teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watched it at night. She didn’t remember ever watching it in the morning or afternoon. When I was young we had only about 3 or 4 different channels. My bothers, my sisters and I would sometimes fight about which channel to watch. But we usually enjoyed the same shows.
Nowadays we can get hundreds of channels on TV. I can’t believe it! There are channels with old movies, cooking, fishing and so on. It’s amazing! There is a TV for everything. I wonder how many times my bothers, my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child. Of course we had only one television set then.
These days I find families with 2 or 3 or more television sets in their homes. I guess it keeps people from arguing over which channel to choose.
31．In the old days, what kind of television sets did people only have
A．Black and white ones. B．Color ones.
C．All kinds of television sets. D．Old-fashioned ones.
32．My mother watched TV________when she was young.
A．in the morning B．in the afternoon C．at night D．in the daytime
33．Nowadays, how many channels can we get on TV
A．3 or 4 different channels. B．only one channel.
C．Hundreds of channels. D．No channels at all.
34．When I was a teenager, my brothers, my sisters and I usually enjoyed________.
A．four shows B．the same shows
C．only one shows D．different shows
35．Which of the following is NOT true
A．Nowadays, some families have more than one TV set at home.
B．My brothers, my sisters and I would sometimes fight about which channel to watch when I was a child.
C．These days, there is only one channel with old movies, cooking and fishing.
D．People have many channels to choose now.
D
Over the last few centuries, there have been many changes in our lives.
To start with, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, we have fast, comfortable vehicles, such as cars and high-speed trains.
Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines.
Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people could not buy things like fridges, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things.
Lastly, communications have become much easier than before. In the past, we kept in touch with others by writing letters or sending faxes, but now we have many other ways to choose from, such as making a phone call, sending emails or messages and chatting online. Moreover, we can even see the people whom we care making a phone call with through mobile phones, and we can see each other while chatting online. The most surprising thing is that we can make a phone call with the astronauts and see them when they are in space. What a magical thing!
Thanks to the technology, especially the Internet, our lives have become much easier and happier than before. I’m sure they will become more wonderful in the future. Don’t you think so
36．Why were planes not so popular many years ago
A．Because they were not big enough. B．Because they were not able to fly long.
C．Because they were very expensive. D．Because they were not fast enough.
37．In the past, people worked________.
A．for fewer hours B．much harder
C．more easily D．more quickly
38．What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us
A．Many families have TV sets and washing machines nowadays.
B．There were no bathrooms or running water before.
C．Living conditions have been improved.
D．Many people can take baths at home now.
39．The writer’s last example for great changes in people’s lives about ________.
A．traveling B．living conditions
C．Working tools D．communication
40．What’s the best title for this passage

1．Scientists haven’t discovered life on Mars ________.
A．yet B．already C．ever D．just
【答案】A
【详解】句意：科学家还没有在火星上发现生命。
考查副词辨析。yet已经，用于否定句和疑问句句末；already已经，用于肯定句句中；ever曾经，用于肯定句句中；just恰好，用于肯定句句中。根据“have’t discoved”可知，句子为现在完成时的否定句。故选A。

考查副词辨析。hardly几乎不；properly正确地；exactly恰好地；clearly清晰地。根据“people use mobile phones too much”和“we’d better not depend too much on it”可知，“我”也有一样的感觉，人们使用手机太过频繁；exactly the same“一模一样，完全一样”。故选C。

A．alone; lonely B．lonely; alone C．alone; alone D．lonely; lonely
【答案】A
【详解】句意：现在我的奶奶独自居住，但她一点都不感到寂寞。
考查词义辨析。alone单独地，侧重强调独自一人，指客观情况；lonely孤独的、寂寞的，是指在感情上的孤独。第一空修饰副词lives，表示“独自居住”，应用副词alone；第二空前的feel为系动词，空格处为形容词lonely作表语，表示“感到孤独”。故选A。

6．It only ________ me half an hour ________ to school every day last term.
A．takes; to ride B．spent; to ride C．cost; walk D．took; to walk
【答案】D
【详解】句意：上学期我每天步行去学校只花了半个小时。
考查一般过去时、动词辨析和非谓语动词。takes/took花费，一般用it作形式主语；spent花费，主语必须是人；cost花费，主语必须是物；ride骑；walk走。根据“last term”可知，此句时态为一般过去时，排除A；根据句式“It takes/took sb. some time to do sth.”可知，第一空应填动词took作谓语，第二空应填动词不定式to walk作主语。故选D。
7．My father ________ take a walk after supper. Now he is always busy with his work.
A．is used to B．used to C．use to D．uses to

【详解】句意：当这个小男孩出院时，他看上去比以前健康多了。
考查形容词比较级。healthy健康的，形容词原级；more healthily更健康地，副词比较级；much healthier更健康的，形容词比较级；more healthier错误表达。look是连系动词，后接形容词作表语。根据than可知，此空应填形容词比较级，故选C。
9．—The film is wonderful.

A．In some ways B．By the way C．Nearly D．Exactly
【答案】A
【详解】句意：——电影很精彩。——在某些方面，确实如此。演员还行，但故事本身就不那么有趣。
考查介词短语和副词辨析。in some ways在某些方面；by the way顺便说一下；nearly几乎；exactly恰好。根据“but the story itself isn't so interesting”可知，这部电影只是在某些方面还不错，也有不足的地方，故选A。
10．—I will miss my family when I go abroad for further study this autumn.

marry结婚，动词原形；have married已经结婚，用于现在完成时；got married结婚，用于一般过去时；am married结婚了，用于一般现在时。根据句中的动词lived和moved可知该句用一般过去时。故选C。
14．句意：我一直住在北京，直到结婚，然后我和妻子搬到了另一个拥有悠久历史的著名城市——西安。

morning早上；night夜晚；day白天；afternoon下午。根据“after working”可知下班后的时间应是夜晚了。故选B。
20．句意：其中有些人能把英语说得很好。
well好，副词；good好的，形容词；bad不好的，形容词；worse更差的，更差地。speak English well表示“英语讲得好”，结合上一句“Many people are having English classes”可知很多人下班后还上英语补习班，由此可知应是有些人能把英语讲得很好。故选A。

My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone is busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks anymore; more and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on schooldays, even in winter. But now students don’t. And in school, children don’t have to think anymore. In maths class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide (加减乘除) by using our heads. But now kids don’t use their heads anymore; instead, they use calculators (计算器).
Most families have computers and there are lights at home now. In the past we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don’t often eat home-cooked food.
And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t simple anymore.
26．What does my grandfather think of the life now
A．He thinks the life now is very good.

My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was a teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watched it at night. She didn’t remember ever watching it in the morning or afternoon. When I was young we had only about 3 or 4 different channels. My bothers, my sisters and I would sometimes fight about which channel to watch. But we usually enjoyed the same shows.
Nowadays we can get hundreds of channels on TV. I can’t believe it! There are channels with old movies, cooking, fishing and so on. It’s amazing! There is a TV for everything. I wonder how many times my bothers, my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child. Of course we had only one television set then.
These days I find families with 2 or 3 or more television sets in their homes. I guess it keeps people from arguing over which channel to choose.

Over the last few centuries, there have been many changes in our lives.
To start with, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, we have fast, comfortable vehicles, such as cars and high-speed trains.
Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines.
Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people could not buy things like fridges, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things.
Lastly, communications have become much easier than before. In the past, we kept in touch with others by writing letters or sending faxes, but now we have many other ways to choose from, such as making a phone call, sending emails or messages and chatting online. Moreover, we can even see the people whom we care making a phone call with through mobile phones, and we can see each other while chatting online. The most surprising thing is that we can make a phone call with the astronauts and see them when they are in space. What a magical thing!
Thanks to the technology, especially the Internet, our lives have become much easier and happier than before. I’m sure they will become more wonderful in the future. Don’t you think so
36．Why were planes not so popular many years ago
A．Because they were not big enough. B．Because they were not able to fly long.
C．Because they were very expensive. D．Because they were not fast enough.
37．In the past, people worked________.
A．for fewer hours B．much harder
C．more easily D．more quickly
38．What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us
A．Many families have TV sets and washing machines nowadays. B．There were no bathrooms or running water before.
C．Living conditions have been improved. D．Many people can take baths at home now.
39．The writer’s last example for great changes in people’s lives about ________.
A．traveling B．living conditions
C．Working tools D．communication
40．What’s the best title for this passage
A．Great changes in our lives B．Good education will change our lives

【答案】36．C37．B38．C39．D40．A
【分析】文章大意：在过去的几个世纪里，我们的生活有很大改变，该文从交通、工作、生活、教育等方面描述了我们生活方面的变化。
36．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel”可知，飞机不太受欢迎，是因为它是一种非常昂贵的旅行方式。故选C。
37．细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today”可知，在过去，人们不得不更加努力地工作，因为他们没有我们今天拥有的工具。所以人们在过去得努力工作。故选B。
38．段落大意题。根据第四段内容可知，在过去，许多家庭没有浴室和自来水，许多人买不起冰箱、电视机或洗衣机等东西。现在，大多数家庭都有很多这样的东西。本段主要讲的是人们生活条件有了很大提高。故选C。
39．细节理解题。根据第五段“Lastly, communications have become much easier than before.”可知，作者最后讲了交流方面的变化。故选D。

【答案】51．has eaten52．wives’53．was writing 54．communicating 55． Has arrived
【解析】51．句意：孩子把盘子里的食物吃光了。现在上面什么也没有了。eat动词，吃；eaten过去分词。本句表示过去的动作对现在造成的影响和结果，所以使用现在完成时态，主语是the child单数含义，谓语动词为 has eaten。故填： has eaten。

【答案】
56．primary57．village58．flew59．turned60．fun61．moved62．since63．environment64．pollution65．improvement
【分析】这篇短文中作者介绍了他家乡的变化，他的家乡原来是一个小村庄，人们生活贫困。但现在他的家乡变得更美丽，人们的生活也变好了。
56．句意：爸爸曾经告诉我当他读小学的时候，他住在一个叫李家山的村庄里。根据句意和空后的school可知，这里填primary，“初级的”，primary school意为“小学”。
57．句意：爸爸曾经告诉我当他读小学的时候，他住在一个叫李家山的村庄里。根据文意可知，李家山是一个村子的名字，故这里填village，村子，村庄。
58．句意：鸟在天空中飞翔，鸭子在河里快乐地游泳。根据句意可知，鸟在天空飞，fly飞，飞翔，动词。根据文意可知，这一段介绍的是李家山这个村过去的情况，使用了一般过去时态，故这里填过去式flew。
59．句意：但是现在李家山变成了一个繁忙的城镇。turn into…变成…，是固定短语。根据句意和空前的has可知，这句话使用了现在完成时，故应填过去分词turned。
60．句意：这是一个让人们娱乐的好地方。have fun玩得开心，是固定短语，故这里应填fun。
61．句意：很多当地人离开了他们的家，搬进了政府修建的新公寓。根据空后into flats可知，这里表示“搬进”，move是动词，句中and连接并列的成分，left是过去式，故这里也应填过去式moved。
62．句意：自从那以后，越来越多的变化发生了。since then是固定短语，“从那以后”，常和现在完成时态搭配使用。故这里填since。
63．句意：例如，环境不如以前好了。根据文意可知，这里说的是这些变化带来的问题，空前是定冠词the，该空应填名词，结合句意可知应填environment，意为“环境”。
64．句意：有时候更多的交通意味着更多的污染。根据句意可知，交通多了，对环境就会造成污染，pollute是动词，more是形容词，修饰名词，故这里填pollution。
65．句意：就像居住在我家乡的大多数人一样，我喜欢这种改进。根据文意可知，作者介绍的是家乡的变化，现在的家乡比以前在很多方面都有了提高和改善，故这里应用improvement，是名词，在句中作宾语。
【点睛】这篇短文中作者给我们介绍了他家乡的变化。短文主题明确，内容贴近教材和学生们的日常生活，比较容易理解。题型是选择适当的单词补全短文，考查学生们阅读理解和单词运用的能力。做题时，应先浏览所给单词，弄清每个单词的意思和词性；然后通读短文，了解文意，根据语境选择适当的单词，并注意使用单词的适当形式。例如第3小题，根据句意可知，鸟在天空飞，fly飞，飞翔，动词。根据文意可知，这一段介绍的是李家山这个村过去的情况，使用了一般过去时态，故这里填过去式flew。再如第9小题，根据句意可知，交通多了，对环境就会造成污染，pollute是动词，more是形容词，修饰名词，故这里填pollution。

In the north of the town, there was a town library. It was old and small ten years ago but it is big and beautiful now. And there are more books and magazines in it. People in my town like to go there to read. There is also a new post office just across from my old school.
In the centre of the town, there is a big change: people can’t drive there, but can only walk or ride bikes. There are also more flowers and trees in the town centre, and they are so beautiful.

My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone is busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks anymore; more and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on schooldays, even in winter. But now students don’t. And in school, children don’t have to think anymore. In maths class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide (加减乘除) by using our heads. But now kids don’t use their heads anymore; instead, they use calculators (计算器).
Most families have computers and there are lights at home now. In the past we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don’t often eat home-cooked food.
And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t simple anymore.

My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was a teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watched it at night. She didn’t remember ever watching it in the morning or afternoon. When I was young we had only about 3 or 4 different channels. My bothers, my sisters and I would sometimes fight about which channel to watch. But we usually enjoyed the same shows.
Nowadays we can get hundreds of channels on TV. I can’t believe it! There are channels with old movies, cooking, fishing and so on. It’s amazing! There is a TV for everything. I wonder how many times my bothers, my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child. Of course we had only one television set then.
These days I find families with 2 or 3 or more television sets in their homes. I guess it keeps people from arguing over which channel to choose.

Over the last few centuries, there have been many changes in our lives.
To start with, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, we have fast, comfortable vehicles, such as cars and high-speed trains.
Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines.
Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people could not buy things like fridges, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things.
Lastly, communications have become much easier than before. In the past, we kept in touch with others by writing letters or sending faxes, but now we have many other ways to choose from, such as making a phone call, sending emails or messages and chatting online. Moreover, we can even see the people whom we care making a phone call with through mobile phones, and we can see each other while chatting online. The most surprising thing is that we can make a phone call with the astronauts and see them when they are in space. What a magical thing!
Thanks to the technology, especially the Internet, our lives have become much easier and happier than before. I’m sure they will become more wonderful in the future. Don’t you think so
36．Why were planes not so popular many years ago
A．Because they were not big enough. B．Because they were not able to fly long.
C．Because they were very expensive. D．Because they were not fast enough.
37．In the past, people worked________.
A．for fewer hours B．much harder
C．more easily D．more quickly
38．What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us
A．Many families have TV sets and washing machines nowadays.
B．There were no bathrooms or running water before.
C．Living conditions have been improved.
D．Many people can take baths at home now.
39．The writer’s last example for great changes in people’s lives about ________.

My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone is busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks anymore; more and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on schooldays, even in winter. But now students don’t. And in school, children don’t have to think anymore. In maths class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide (加减乘除) by using our heads. But now kids don’t use their heads anymore; instead, they use calculators (计算器).
Most families have computers and there are lights at home now. In the past we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don’t often eat home-cooked food.
And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t simple anymore.

To start with, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, we have fast, comfortable vehicles, such as cars and high-speed trains.
Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines.
Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people could not buy things like fridges, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things.
Lastly, communications have become much easier than before. In the past, we kept in touch with others by writing letters or sending faxes, but now we have many other ways to choose from, such as making a phone call, sending emails or messages and chatting online. Moreover, we can even see the people whom we care making a phone call with through mobile phones, and we can see each other while chatting online. The most surprising thing is that we can make a phone call with the astronauts and see them when they are in space. What a magical thing!
Thanks to the technology, especially the Internet, our lives have become much easier and happier than before. I’m sure they will become more wonderful in the future. Don’t you think so

【分析】这篇短文中作者介绍了他家乡的变化，他的家乡原来是一个小村庄，人们生活贫困。但现在他的家乡变得更美丽，人们的生活也变好了。
56．句意：爸爸曾经告诉我当他读小学的时候，他住在一个叫李家山的村庄里。根据句意和空后的school可知，这里填primary，“初级的”，primary school意为“小学”。
57．句意：爸爸曾经告诉我当他读小学的时候，他住在一个叫李家山的村庄里。根据文意可知，李家山是一个村子的名字，故这里填village，村子，村庄。
58．句意：鸟在天空中飞翔，鸭子在河里快乐地游泳。根据句意可知，鸟在天空飞，fly飞，飞翔，动词。根据文意可知，这一段介绍的是李家山这个村过去的情况，使用了一般过去时态，故这里填过去式flew。
59．句意：但是现在李家山变成了一个繁忙的城镇。turn into…变成…，是固定短语。根据句意和空前的has可知，这句话使用了现在完成时，故应填过去分词turned。
60．句意：这是一个让人们娱乐的好地方。have fun玩得开心，是固定短语，故这里应填fun。
61．句意：很多当地人离开了他们的家，搬进了政府修建的新公寓。根据空后into flats可知，这里表示“搬进”，move是动词，句中and连接并列的成分，left是过去式，故这里也应填过去式moved。
62．句意：自从那以后，越来越多的变化发生了。since then是固定短语，“从那以后”，常和现在完成时态搭配使用。故这里填since。
63．句意：例如，环境不如以前好了。根据文意可知，这里说的是这些变化带来的问题，空前是定冠词the，该空应填名词，结合句意可知应填environment，意为“环境”。
64．句意：有时候更多的交通意味着更多的污染。根据句意可知，交通多了，对环境就会造成污染，pollute是动词，more是形容词，修饰名词，故这里填pollution。
65．句意：就像居住在我家乡的大多数人一样，我喜欢这种改进。根据文意可知，作者介绍的是家乡的变化，现在的家乡比以前在很多方面都有了提高和改善，故这里应用improvement，是名词，在句中作宾语。
【点睛】这篇短文中作者给我们介绍了他家乡的变化。短文主题明确，内容贴近教材和学生们的日常生活，比较容易理解。题型是选择适当的单词补全短文，考查学生们阅读理解和单词运用的能力。做题时，应先浏览所给单词，弄清每个单词的意思和词性；然后通读短文，了解文意，根据语境选择适当的单词，并注意使用单词的适当形式。例如第3小题，根据句意可知，鸟在天空飞，fly飞，飞翔，动词。根据文意可知，这一段介绍的是李家山这个村过去的情况，使用了一般过去时态，故这里填过去式flew。再如第9小题，根据句意可知，交通多了，对环境就会造成污染，pollute是动词，more是形容词，修饰名词，故这里填pollution。
