Ⅲ.阅读理解
I have to be honest — celebrating a calendar holiday is not what our family does best.We sometimes cook the Thanksgiving turkey a day later or earlier,and put the Christmas tree up before Halloween,just for fun.We truly believe in living life to the fullest every day,and celebrating life every day.Sometimes it's a small thing; sometimes it's a big thing,and typically I don't want to create pressure for anyone of the family for making a certain holiday a perfect one.Sometimes we even don't celebrate all of the holidays,and other times we go all the way.We have a tradition of not having many traditions.
We enjoy last minute surprises and there's nothing more fun than making breakfast for dinner or cooking birthday cakes on halfbirthdays.I believe in celebrating love beyond Valentine's Day as well as many other calendar holidays.Life in general brings too much pressure to moms,and in the case of Mother's Day,pressure for the husbands to make it a perfect one.
We typically celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day at our home almost every Sunday.I think this probably started on one of these calendar holidays,but now it has become a custom that our kids cook a big brunch(早午餐)for us on Sundays,or we go out for a big branch to celebrate the holiday.We eat dinner at home,everyone around the dinner every day,but the Sundays become our special days.
The kids tend to get upset if we are not having a big brunch cookoff(烹饪竞赛)on Sundays.My daughter has become a master at making crepes(薄煎饼),and last weekend the kids made the best banana bread I have ever had.I enjoy the“Mother's Days” when I don't have to cook,and when kids are so proud that they are making something for me to enjoy.The best part? This doesn't just happen once every year.
36.Why don't the author's family members celebrate calendar holidays according to the date?
A.Because they want to enjoy life as much as possible.
B.Because they think there are too many festivals.
C.Because they can't remember the dates very well.
D.Because they are too busy to celebrate them on time.
37.Which of the following words can best describe the author's family's life?
A.Harmonious and wasteful.
B.Strange and antitraditional.
C.Fun and relaxed.
D.Serious and regular.
38.The author's family usually celebrates holidays on Sundays because __________.
A.it is a custom of their nation
B.they have made it a rule to do so
C.no one cooks on weekdays
D.they are free on Sundays
39.By saying“Mother's Days”in the last paragraph,the author __________.
A.indicates it will last quite a few days
B.means it is really a memorable day
C.indicates it is not usually celebrated on the very day
D.means it also includes some other calendar holidays
40.In which part of a newspaper may this passage most probably appear?
A.Culture.
B.Economy.
C.Tourism.
D.Life.
Ⅳ.任务型阅读
In the United States,engineering is a profession that has been dominated historically by men.Even today,it's still true that few women become civil or chemical or mechanical engineers,but that's something www.EngineerGirl.org aims to change.Young women who visit the website can find out about a great career choice they might not have considered.
“Women are very much underrepresented in engineering and in engineering education programs and then of course,down the road,in the engineering workforce.So only about 20 percent of engineering undergraduate degrees go to women,and then only about nine percent of working engineers are women.”
Mary Mattis is the National Academy of Engineering,says the EngineerGirl website aims to reach young women around ages 11 through 14,when they are just getting old enough to start thinking about their futures.
“We know from the research that middleschool girls are at a critical point in their lives,and that it's a time when we need to reach them,both with an understanding,increasing their awareness of interesting fields in engineering,what a wonderful,productive and exciting career you can have as an engineer.But we also need to reach them at that time because you have to take certain courses,and you can't start thinking about taking those courses when you're a junior in high school.”
Engineering is a demanding course of study—there are a lot of science and mathematics,and for many girls and boys,that matter can be intimidating.But Ms Mattis says that the EngineerGirl website stresses that engineering can also be fun and exciting.
“It's about designing things.It's about changing the world for people.It's about making a difference.And,in addition,you can make a good living,you can be independent economically by becoming an engineer.All of those things are messages that girls need to get.”
While most engineers go into traditional fields such as mechanical and electrical engineering,the EngineerGirl site also highlights unusual engineering careers in fields such as sports engineering and—believe it or not—chocolate engineering.
“There's a section called ‘why be an engineer’,and that talks about the many opportunities and increasingly different opportunities like with bioengineering and environmental engineering,some fields that might appeal to girls who want to make a difference or have a meaning for their careers beyond earning an income.”
Even if you are not a girl in the target age group,there's a lot of interesting information on the site,including biographies of some notable women engineers.

参考答案
Ⅰ.
1. 答案:D 解析:考查副词短语。句意:他似乎给人的印象是在巴黎玩得不开心,(事实)恰恰相反,他玩得非常尽兴。above all“首先,最重要的是”;what's more“而且”;as a result“因此,所以”;on the contrary “(与此)相反,正相反”。
2. 答案:B 解析:考查连词。句意:一般来说,一个人的智力极限在出生时就确定了,但是能否达到这些极限却依赖后天的环境。where和why引导名词性从句时,在从句中分别作地点状语和原因状语;that引导名词性从句时,在从句中不作任何成分,也无词义;whether引导名词性从句时,意为“是否”。故只有B项符合题意。
3. 答案:C 解析:考查名词性从句。由于空前没有名词或代词作先行词,所以此处不是考查定语从句,排除引导词who, whom;由空后的谓语动词attends可知此处应该用主格的whoever,排除whomever;whoever引导宾语从句并在从句中作主语。故选C项。
4. 答案:B 解析:考查主语从句。句意:在这家商店用现金或信用卡支付都是可以的。根据句中的or可以看出是两者,表示“或者”,构成whether...or...的形式。在此句中,it为形式主语,真正的主语是whether you pay by cash or credit card in this store。故选B项。
5. 答案:B 解析:考查虚拟语气。as if 条件句用虚拟语气表示与现在的事实相反。句意:“不要对待那个花瓶像它是由钢制成似的。”
6. 答案:A 解析:考查动词辨析。negotiate“协商”; quarrel“争吵”; argue“争论”;consult“咨询,请教”。句意:部长说:“我们做好与任何合法党派进行磋商的准备了,但我们决不会与犯罪分子进行协商。”只有A项符合句意。
7. 答案:C 解析:考查并列连词。“祈使句+and(那么)/or(否则)+将来时”为固定句式。故排除A项和D项。句意:经常寻找途径来表扬你的孩子,那么你将发现他们会对你敞开心扉。根据句意,只有C项正确。
8. 答案:B 解析:考查并列连词。“祈使句+and/or+表示结果的句子”是固定句型,祈使句相当于条件句;and表顺承,or表转折。句意:把花带到暖和的房间里,它们很快就会开放。故选B项。
9. 答案:A 解析:本题考查动词短语辨析。turn to“求助于”;look for“寻找”;deal with“处理”;talk about“谈论”。
10. 答案:D 解析:此题是对ever 类状语从句的考查。句意:不管你力气多大,也休想搬动那块石头。whatever 后面接名词,however 后面接形容词和副词。
11. 答案:B 解析:第二句句意为:“你知道,一个人掌握的知识越多,就越容易找到好工作”。
12. 答案:D 解析:考查主语从句的用法。句意:经济危机是否会很快结束是很明显的事情。“是否”用whether表示,不能选用when,因为从句中有soon这一时间状语。
13. 答案:C 解析:present sth.to sb.“把某物颁给某人,赠给某人某物”。
14. 答案:A 解析:句意:罐装食物很受家庭主妇的欢迎,因为烹饪它们花费的时间不多。be popular with“受……欢迎”;welcome的主语多是人,此处应用welcomed;desirable“令人满意的”;usual“通常的”。
15. 答案:C 解析:no wonder...“难怪……”。
Ⅱ.
16. 答案:A 解析:据空格前的relax及后句的watch television,go to the cinema,take part in sports 可知,晚上和周末应该玩得愉快(enjoy oneself)。
17. 答案:D 解析:空格前后为选择关系。
18. 答案:C 解析:it指代前句的内容,它与个人的兴趣是依附关系,故选depends on。
19. 答案:B 解析:上下文讲述的是度过业余时间的具体做法。
20. 答案:C 解析:呼应上下文,“度过我们的业余时间。”
21. 答案:B 解析:hobby本身具有“爱好”之意,不再搭配like;find与hobby搭配不贴切;选develop与文章的中心背离。本文重在介绍不同的兴趣爱好,而不是如何培养某种爱好。本段后两句是直接信息。
22. 答案:D 解析:考查语意辨析。一个人的兴趣不可能包罗万象,排除B项;A项与前句矛盾;C项虽然讲得通,但不如D项更能呼应文章前后关系。
23. 答案:A 解析:单纯从搭配来看A、B、C三项均可,但根据文章的中心,业余爱好是兴趣所致(文章最后一段),非利欲熏心,排除B、C项。D项意为“发明、创造”与全文相悖。
24. 答案:A 解析:前后两个分句之间是转折关系,本句意为“有些业余爱好价值连城,而另一些业余爱好只对其主人有价值”。
25. 答案:B 解析:根据后面一句里的暗示信息a fiftycent piece“一枚五十美分的硬币”。可见是收藏硬币。而a money collection意为“钱币收藏”,collect money“集资”。
26. 答案:C 解析:形容词worth短语作后置定语,意思是“值好几千美元”。
27. 答案:C 解析:根据一般的逻辑推理,常见的(usual)、普通的(common)东西当然不会值多少钱,新的硬币最多是面额上的价钱,只有“罕见的(rare)”才值钱。
28. 答案:A 解析:从句中thought the price was reasonable可知他为购买到这样的藏品而高兴,因为价钱合理。
29. 答案:D 解析:gather是“收拢;收集”,不强调有所选择;pick out和choose表示“选出;选中”,不合题意;只有collect表示有选择地收集。
30. 答案:B 解析:据本句的转折词but可推知“是否值钱”。
31. 答案:C 解析:考查观察上下文信息的能力。根据第二段最后一句“But others are valuable only to their owners.”可知。
32. 答案:A 解析:make sb.happy“让某人高兴”。
33. 答案:B 解析:从其后的I guess 及后两句所提供信息可知,本句想表达的含义为爱好的含义所在。
34. 答案:D 解析:in one's spare time是固定搭配。
35. 答案:C 解析:“只是为了娱乐,而不是为了钱财或利益”,呼应全文。
Ⅲ.
36. 答案:A 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“We truly believe in living life to the fullest every day,and celebrating life every day”可知作者及其家人把每一天都当作节日来庆祝,他们并不拘泥于日历,可见他们很享受生活,因此,A项正确。
37. 答案:C 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“... I don't want to create pressure for anyone of the family ...”和第二段中的“We enjoy last minute surprises ... on halfbirthdays.”可知作者不给家里人施压,并且他们很喜欢在不是生日时庆祝生日带来的乐趣,由此可看出他们的家庭生活充满了乐趣,家人生活很轻松,C项正确。
38. 答案:B 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“... but now it has become a custom that our kids cook a big brunch(早午餐)for us on Sundays ...”周日孩子给家长做蛋糕已成了习惯,因此B项正确。
39. 答案:C 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“We typically celebrate Mother's Day ... almost every Sunday”可知他们在几乎每个周日都举行烹饪比赛,A项错误。这也并不是传统的节日,D项错误。由最后一段最后一句话可知并不是一年只有一次这样的“母亲节”可知B项错误,C项正确。
40. 答案:D 解析:推理判断题。本文主要叙述了作者一家是怎样过节的,属于生活类,故D项为正确答案。
Ⅳ.
答案:41.Study/Learn 42.history 43.engineers 44.Purpose/Aim/Goal/Intention 45.aware 46.excitement 47.Benefits/Advantages 48.Change 49.independence 50.environment
Ⅴ.
答案:
The early bird will catch worms
An old saying “The early bird will catch worms” reminds us that if people want to be successful and outstanding,they must plan ahead of time and make their efforts to overcome all the possible difficulties.
For example,the Chinese athletes' excellent performance in 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver is definitely the result of their early planning and hard training.If they don't set the aim and work hard,even though they have the best talents,they can't compete with others and get more medals.
Another case is my learning experience.I was good at English,but I couldn't pass the exam,for I wasn't prepared well before the examination.I had many things to solve at that time.As I met the complex things,I was at a loss.The reason was that I had no plan and involved in many things and didn't study more hard,so I failed.
In short,the saying shows us the important of planning,working hard and constantly trying.
