Ⅲ.阅读理解
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
One evening in February 2007，a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales.She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path.That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train.Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line.Seconds later，she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.
Ceely's near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS(导航仪)．She had never driven the route before.It was dark and raining heavily.Ceely was relying on her GPS，but it made no mention of the crossing.“I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train，”she told the BBC.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
Who is to blame here？Rick Stevenson，who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail Us，points the finger at the limitations of technology.“We put our faith in digital devices，”he says，“but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job.”They are filled with small problems.And it's not just GPS devices：Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.21·世纪*教育网
The problem with his argument in the book is that it's not clear why he only focuses on digital technology，while there may be a number of other possible causes.A map maker might have left the crossing off a paper map.Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention.Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor singalling system.Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment.But Stevenson doesn't say.www-2-1-cnjy-com
It's a problem that runs through the book.In a section on cars，Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer based locking systems for cars.He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft；both show a small rise in some parts of the country.He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable.Perhaps，but maybe it's also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets.Or changing social circumstances.Or some combination of these factors.【版权所有：21教育】
The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex.It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in.Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way，it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines.After all，we have lived with them for thousands of years.They have probably been fooling us for just as long. 21*cnjy*com
36．What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?
A．She was not familiar with the road.
B．It was dark and raining heavily then.
C．The railway workers failed to give the signal.
D．Her GPS device didn't tell her about the crossing.
37．The phrase “near miss”(Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by ______.
A．close hit B．heavy loss
C．narrow escape D．big mistake
38．Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?
A．Modern technology is what we can't live without.
B．Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.
C．Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.
D．GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely's accident.
39．In the writer's opinion，Stevenson's argument is ______.
A．one sided B．reasonable[来源:21世纪教育网]
C．puzzling D．well based
Ⅳ.任务型阅读
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词
Farmers might think the idea of growing food for fun sounds strange.But there are some people who do it all the time.
They grow some vegetables because their natural color or shape is pleasing to see.They grow others because scientists have developed new colors or different size for traditional vegetables.
One example is the bell pepper(胡椒)．Seed companies sell seeds for several different kinds of bell peppers.One pepper is a weak yellow color when it begins to grow.Then its color changes to white.As it grows，it changes color two more times—to orange，then red.
Another unusual plant is known as the yard long bean or snake bean.It grows up to one meter in length.It is an important part of the food supply in areas of Asia.21cnjy.com
American farmers like it because it is different，yet tastes very much like the green beans they traditionally grow.Each bean has been from ten to twenty seeds.The outside or pod(豆荚) can be eaten.Some of the very long beans are green outside but have black and white or red seeds.
Gourds(葫芦) are plants that people like to grow because of the many different shapes.They also have many uses.Some round gourds are dried，painted and made into containers(容器)．Others have long necks and big bodies.These are dried，cut and made into ladles(勺)．
Another kind of gourd is used to make sponges(海绵状物)．When it is fully grown，it is removed from the vine(藤) and permitted to dry for a few weeks.Then it is placed in water for a few hours.The outer shell is then removed.The gourd is placed in the sun to dry.When it is fully dry，it is cut into pieces for use as sponges.They have a rough surface.They can be used to clean away dead skin cells，which makes them a popular skin care product.

参考答案
Ⅰ.
1. 答案：A 解析：考查祈使句。根据before可知，后面为主句，横线处应为动词谓语， “how your family…decision”作动词的宾语。B、C、D三项为非谓语形式，故排除。句意：在你辞掉你的工作之前，要考虑你的家人对你的决定有何感想。故选A项，为祈使句。2-1-c-n-j-y
2. 答案：C 解析：考查倒装句式。表示否定意义的副词(词组)位于句首时，主句采用部分倒装，故排除B、D两项；根据语境并结合定语从句的时态可判断应使用现在完成时，排除A项。
3. 答案：A 解析：考查非谓语动词。由于逗号前后没有关联词，所以只能用非谓语形式，根据weather和permit的逻辑关系判断应选用现在分词形式构成独立主格结构，表示“天气允许的话”。
4. 答案：B 解析：考查日常交际用语。根据下文的I guess可判断，此处表示“没有其他要讨论的了，那就是全部内容了”。A项表示“别客气，没关系”；C项表示“是的，我确定”；D项表示“是的，当然了”。
5. 答案：C 解析：考查介词短语辨析。in terms of“就……而言，从……而论”；in need of “需要”；in favor of“支持，拥护，赞成”；in praise of“称赞，表扬”。句意为：“许多老师在问及对校长的评价时，都表示更愿意看到他能支持并让位于那些年纪较小者。”故用in favor of。
6. 答案：C 解析：考查倒装句。nor放在句首，表示“也不”时，常用倒装结构。第一句句意：这不是我的故事，它也不是整个故事。主语应该是it而不是there be句型。故选C项。
7. 答案：D 解析：句意为：“尽管有许多困难，我们的政府还是努力推行阻止污染的新政策。”push ahead with意为“努力推进”，符合句意。put up with意为“忍受”；cut back on意为“减少，削减”；catch up with意为“赶上”。
8. 答案：B 解析：make up意为“弥补”；figure out意为“弄清楚，理解”；look through意为“仔细检查，看穿”；put off意为“推迟”。句意为：“现在的形式很复杂，所以我想我得花点时间来弄清现实。”B项符合题意。2·1·c·n·j·y
9. 答案：A 解析：考查连词。句意：这本书里所有的照片，除非是另行标注，都能追溯到20世纪五十年代。unless“除非”；until“直到”；once“一旦”；if“如果”。根据句意可知选A项。[来源:21世纪教育网]
10. 答案：A 解析：句意为：“昨天她刚做完作业，她妈妈就叫她练钢琴。”when此时的含义是“刚……就……”。
11. 答案：A 解析：句意为：“我采用了他们制造这种机器的方法。”adopt “采用，收养”；vote“投票”；elect“选举”；command“命令”。
12. 答案：C 解析：generally speaking“一般说来”。
13. 答案：B 解析：in other words“换句话说”；on the other hand“另一方面”；for one thing“一则”，常与for another thing连用，意为“再则”；as a matter of fact“事实上”。根据句意，B项正确。
14. 答案：B 解析：appreciate后接动名词作宾语，advise后接不定式作宾语。
15. 答案：D 解析：考查时态。句意：“在接下来的几周里，我们的友谊进展迅速。”根据followed可知动作发生在过去，不表示将来或完成，故选D项。
Ⅱ.
答案：16．D 解析：根据下文“因为车上没有坐满乘客，所以司机没有打算尽快发动汽车”。intend to do sth.意为“打算做某事”，符合题意。21教育名师原创作品
17．B 解析：司机没有打算尽快发动公共汽车是因为还没有坐满人。full意为“满的”，符合题意。
18．A 解析：从下文“she stopped crying”可知，中年女子讲的时候“流着泪”。tearfully意为“含着眼泪地”，符合题意。
19．C 解析：被偷的是具体的东西，fare，possession和wealth都是抽象概念；而且下文提到了钱被偷了的事。
20．D 解析：中年女子把钱分别放在了两个地方，其中放在衬衫下的钱还在，因此应该是“庆幸”。
21．C 解析：钱被偷了，肯定是“不高兴的”。
22．A 解析：当乘务员向老人收取车票钱时，他已经没有钱付费了，并向乘务员“解释”说自己因为上错了车而把钱用完了。
23．A 解析：老人没有钱付费，乘务员叫他“下车”。21世纪教育网
24．A 解析：老人需要乘那趟车回家，而乘务员却叫他下车，所以他“恳求”她让他坐车回家。
25．D 解析：乘务员让老人下车是一种“命令”。司机这时过来帮腔，命令老人下车。
26．D 解析：中年女子出面干预是在司机和乘务员提高嗓门赶老人下车的时候，用when引导时间状语从句。21世纪教育网版权所有
27．B 解析：司机和乘务员赶老人下车属于“打扰，烦扰”的行为。
28．C 解析：由司机之前的行为及说“He doesn't have any money！”的语气可判断出，他这句话是“喊”出来的。
29．D 解析：下文提到中年女子替老人付了车费，所以她觉得那不是不让老人乘车的“理由”。
30．C 解析：放在衬衫里的钱是她被偷后“剩下的”钱。remaining 意为“剩余的”，符合题意。
31．C 解析：赶老人下车对老人来说是“困苦的，难以忍受的”，hard符合题意。
32．B 解析：smile与wear连用，表示“脸上带着微笑”。
33．A 解析：中年女子因为帮助了老人而感到高兴，因此忘记了此前钱被偷的事。
34．C 解析：在人生旅程中，来自陌生人的帮助能减轻(lighten)负担，改善心情。
35．B 解析：用journey与本段开头的the road of life相呼应。
Ⅲ.
答案：36．D 解析：根据第二段最后一句可知，她完全依靠GPS帮她引路，但是这个高科技居然把她带到了火车铁轨上，害得她险些送命。
37．C 解析：GPS把她带到了运行着火车的火车线路上，这是一次非常危险的经历，但是她并没有发生意外，应该是死里逃生。near miss，narrow escape表达的就是这层含义。
38．B 解析：根据“‘We put our faith in digital device，’he says，‘but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job.’”可知数码技术常常达不到我们的期望。
39．A 解析：根据第四段可知，造成此次事故或者其他高科技失灵事件，可能还有其他很多原因，比如主观人为的，或者是火车信号系统不好等等，但是他没有提到，所以他的观点是片面的。
Ⅳ.
40．Unusual 41.growth 42.three 43.Asian 44.taste 45.outside/pod 46.shapes 47.containers48．inside 49.fun
Ⅴ.
答案：As is shown in the picture，China Central Television(CCTV)was asked to avoid using certain English abbreviations in Chinese programs，such as NBA，CBA，F1.This started a heated discussion on the Internet whether Chinese should use English abbreviations.
Some netizens support this restriction，concerned that too many English abbreviations have damaged the purity of our language and culture.Besides，some netizens claim that the elder，especially those in rural areas，cannot understand the exact meaning of some abbreviations.
On the contrary，some netizens doubt this decision.They believe the Chinese language should be open to borrowed words.In addition，some English abbreviations，such as WTO，GDP，etc.，are so widely accepted that using Chinese translation will only lead to confusion.
On my personal note，it's important to maintain the purity of our language，and it's necessary to guide people to use borrowed language correctly through some restrictions.But these restrictions should be taken cautiously as long as the use of English abbreviations is reasonable.

One evening in February 2007，a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales.She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path.That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train.Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line.Seconds later，she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.

The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex.It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in.Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way，it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines.After all，we have lived with them for thousands of years.They have probably been fooling us for just as long. 21*cnjy*com

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词
Farmers might think the idea of growing food for fun sounds strange.But there are some people who do it all the time.
They grow some vegetables because their natural color or shape is pleasing to see.They grow others because scientists have developed new colors or different size for traditional vegetables.
One example is the bell pepper(胡椒)．Seed companies sell seeds for several different kinds of bell peppers.One pepper is a weak yellow color when it begins to grow.Then its color changes to white.As it grows，it changes color two more times—to orange，then red.
Another unusual plant is known as the yard long bean or snake bean.It grows up to one meter in length.It is an important part of the food supply in areas of Asia.21cnjy.com
American farmers like it because it is different，yet tastes very much like the green beans they traditionally grow.Each bean has been from ten to twenty seeds.The outside or pod(豆荚) can be eaten.Some of the very long beans are green outside but have black and white or red seeds.
Gourds(葫芦) are plants that people like to grow because of the many different shapes.They also have many uses.Some round gourds are dried，painted and made into containers(容器)．Others have long necks and big bodies.These are dried，cut and made into ladles(勺)．
Another kind of gourd is used to make sponges(海绵状物)．When it is fully grown，it is removed from the vine(藤) and permitted to dry for a few weeks.Then it is placed in water for a few hours.The outer shell is then removed.The gourd is placed in the sun to dry.When it is fully dry，it is cut into pieces for use as sponges.They have a rough surface.They can be used to clean away dead skin cells，which makes them a popular skin care product.

参考答案

1. 答案：A 解析：考查祈使句。根据before可知，后面为主句，横线处应为动词谓语， “how your family…decision”作动词的宾语。B、C、D三项为非谓语形式，故排除。句意：在你辞掉你的工作之前，要考虑你的家人对你的决定有何感想。故选A项，为祈使句。2-1-c-n-j-y
2. 答案：C 解析：考查倒装句式。表示否定意义的副词(词组)位于句首时，主句采用部分倒装，故排除B、D两项；根据语境并结合定语从句的时态可判断应使用现在完成时，排除A项。
3. 答案：A 解析：考查非谓语动词。由于逗号前后没有关联词，所以只能用非谓语形式，根据weather和permit的逻辑关系判断应选用现在分词形式构成独立主格结构，表示“天气允许的话”。
4. 答案：B 解析：考查日常交际用语。根据下文的I guess可判断，此处表示“没有其他要讨论的了，那就是全部内容了”。A项表示“别客气，没关系”；C项表示“是的，我确定”；D项表示“是的，当然了”。
5. 答案：C 解析：考查介词短语辨析。in terms of“就……而言，从……而论”；in need of “需要”；in favor of“支持，拥护，赞成”；in praise of“称赞，表扬”。句意为：“许多老师在问及对校长的评价时，都表示更愿意看到他能支持并让位于那些年纪较小者。”故用in favor of。
6. 答案：C 解析：考查倒装句。nor放在句首，表示“也不”时，常用倒装结构。第一句句意：这不是我的故事，它也不是整个故事。主语应该是it而不是there be句型。故选C项。

8. 答案：B 解析：make up意为“弥补”；figure out意为“弄清楚，理解”；look through意为“仔细检查，看穿”；put off意为“推迟”。句意为：“现在的形式很复杂，所以我想我得花点时间来弄清现实。”B项符合题意。2·1·c·n·j·y

12. 答案：C 解析：generally speaking“一般说来”。
13. 答案：B 解析：in other words“换句话说”；on the other hand“另一方面”；for one thing“一则”，常与for another thing连用，意为“再则”；as a matter of fact“事实上”。根据句意，B项正确。
14. 答案：B 解析：appreciate后接动名词作宾语，advise后接不定式作宾语。
15. 答案：D 解析：考查时态。句意：“在接下来的几周里，我们的友谊进展迅速。”根据followed可知动作发生在过去，不表示将来或完成，故选D项。
Ⅱ.

17．B 解析：司机没有打算尽快发动公共汽车是因为还没有坐满人。full意为“满的”，符合题意。
18．A 解析：从下文“she stopped crying”可知，中年女子讲的时候“流着泪”。tearfully意为“含着眼泪地”，符合题意。
19．C 解析：被偷的是具体的东西，fare，possession和wealth都是抽象概念；而且下文提到了钱被偷了的事。
20．D 解析：中年女子把钱分别放在了两个地方，其中放在衬衫下的钱还在，因此应该是“庆幸”。
21．C 解析：钱被偷了，肯定是“不高兴的”。
22．A 解析：当乘务员向老人收取车票钱时，他已经没有钱付费了，并向乘务员“解释”说自己因为上错了车而把钱用完了。

25．D 解析：乘务员让老人下车是一种“命令”。司机这时过来帮腔，命令老人下车。
26．D 解析：中年女子出面干预是在司机和乘务员提高嗓门赶老人下车的时候，用when引导时间状语从句。21世纪教育网版权所有
27．B 解析：司机和乘务员赶老人下车属于“打扰，烦扰”的行为。
28．C 解析：由司机之前的行为及说“He doesn't have any money！”的语气可判断出，他这句话是“喊”出来的。
29．D 解析：下文提到中年女子替老人付了车费，所以她觉得那不是不让老人乘车的“理由”。
30．C 解析：放在衬衫里的钱是她被偷后“剩下的”钱。remaining 意为“剩余的”，符合题意。
31．C 解析：赶老人下车对老人来说是“困苦的，难以忍受的”，hard符合题意。
32．B 解析：smile与wear连用，表示“脸上带着微笑”。
33．A 解析：中年女子因为帮助了老人而感到高兴，因此忘记了此前钱被偷的事。
34．C 解析：在人生旅程中，来自陌生人的帮助能减轻(lighten)负担，改善心情。
35．B 解析：用journey与本段开头的the road of life相呼应。
Ⅲ.
答案：36．D 解析：根据第二段最后一句可知，她完全依靠GPS帮她引路，但是这个高科技居然把她带到了火车铁轨上，害得她险些送命。
37．C 解析：GPS把她带到了运行着火车的火车线路上，这是一次非常危险的经历，但是她并没有发生意外，应该是死里逃生。near miss，narrow escape表达的就是这层含义。
38．B 解析：根据“‘We put our faith in digital device，’he says，‘but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job.’”可知数码技术常常达不到我们的期望。
39．A 解析：根据第四段可知，造成此次事故或者其他高科技失灵事件，可能还有其他很多原因，比如主观人为的，或者是火车信号系统不好等等，但是他没有提到，所以他的观点是片面的。

答案：As is shown in the picture，China Central Television(CCTV)was asked to avoid using certain English abbreviations in Chinese programs，such as NBA，CBA，F1.This started a heated discussion on the Internet whether Chinese should use English abbreviations.
Some netizens support this restriction，concerned that too many English abbreviations have damaged the purity of our language and culture.Besides，some netizens claim that the elder，especially those in rural areas，cannot understand the exact meaning of some abbreviations.
On the contrary，some netizens doubt this decision.They believe the Chinese language should be open to borrowed words.In addition，some English abbreviations，such as WTO，GDP，etc.，are so widely accepted that using Chinese translation will only lead to confusion.
On my personal note，it's important to maintain the purity of our language，and it's necessary to guide people to use borrowed language correctly through some restrictions.But these restrictions should be taken cautiously as long as the use of English abbreviations is reasonable.
