Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (30 marks)
A
Hobbs was an orphan. He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.
One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars，and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn't know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days；or I give up my work in the factory and do what I'd like to do: painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat，or a radio，or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it's too much for one and too little for the other.”
“Here is the reading of your uncle's will，” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money，as soon as you have spent it.”
“Yes I see. I'll do that，”said the young man.

B
We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles of your neck，or because an unexpected twist(扭曲) has made your neck ache.The slightest move makes you jump with pain.Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.
That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling.We have all met such people.
One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time—during a performance in the theater.He keeps you from hearing the actors.
Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins.They come hurrying down to your row of seats.You are comfortably settled down，with your hat and heavy coat in your lap.You must stand up to let them pass.You are proud of yourself-control after they have settled into their seats...Well，what now...God，one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the men's room，and once more you have to stand up，hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass.Now that is “a_pain_in_the_neck”．
Another，well-known to us all，is the person sitting behind you in the movies.His mouth is full of popcorn(爆米花)；he is chewing loudly，or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still.Up and down，back and forth，they go—for another bag of popcorn，or something to drink.
Then，there is the man sitting next to you at lunch，smoking. He wants you to enjoy it too，and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.
We must not forget the man who comes into a bus on subway and sits down next to you，just as close as you will let him.You are reading the newspaper and he gets closer so that he can read the paper with you.He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.
We also call such a person a “rubber_neck”，always getting close to where it does not belong，like neighbors who watch all your visitors.They enjoy learning about your personal business.People have a strong dislike for “rubber necks”．They hate being watched secretly.

C
·Ms Tan, you've referred to your new novel as your eighth book.
That's because it took me six or seven attempts at a second novel before I started and completed this one.
·Why do you think you had so many false starts?
I would say that my reasons were wrong: I was trying to prove that I wasn't just a mother-daughter storyteller，or I was trying to prove that I didn't just have to write about things that were strictly Chinese or Chinese-American. Those were never the right reasons for writing those early stories. And I could never come up with other better reasons for continuing them.
·What kept you going on this book?
This book was different because it was based on my mother's real life. The reason for writing it became more personal and emotional. After The Joy Luck Club came out，my mother was always explaining to people that she wasn't any of the mothers in that book. And at one point she said to me, “Next book tells my true story.” And then she started telling me things I never knew before. She also told me many，many stories, because my mother doesn't generalize. The book really grew out of that.
·Have you ever visited China?
Yes. I've been there twice: about three years ago and then again last November, both times with my mother and my husband.
·Was it difficult to capture the Chinese-American dialect without sounding like a parody(拙劣的模仿)?
No, because it's the language I've heard all my life from my mother. She speaks English as it's direct translation from Chinese. But it's more than that: Her language also has more imagery than English.
·Can you think of an example?
Somebody might say to me，“Don't work so hard. You'll kill yourself.” My mother will say to me, “Why do you press all your brains out on this page for someone else？” So it's very vivid. That's the way she talks.
·Have many readers told you that the Chinese mother in your book reminded them of the typical Jewish mother?
Many people have told me that. I think the mother-daughter relationship is very intense in both cases. Culturally there is an acceptance that mothers have the power to tell their children，especially their daughters，how to conduct their lives—not simply up until the time they are 18, but for the rest of their lives. However, when children grow up in a different culture from their parents', they tend to keep more secrets from their parents. The children think, “They just wouldn't understand that I had to do this.” And that can really create a gap, and it can grow as the number of secrets grows.
46．Based on the questions in this interview，what do you think Ms Tan's profession is?
A．A journalist. B．A storywriter.
C．An interviewer. D．An interviewee.
47．What's TRUE about Tan's second book?
A．It's about her real life in America.
B．The name of the book is The Joy Luck Club.
C．It is the result of many times of careful thought.
D．It includes many works of her mother.
48．Which question is NOT answered in the interview?
A．How does she think of her mother's language?
B．How many books does she plan to write?
C．When did she visit China?
D．How is generation gap created?
49．We can infer that________.
A．Tan's mother is a good storyteller
B．Tan plans to write another book about her mother
C．Tan plans to return to China
D．Tan's mother is hard to communicate with because of personality
50．The last paragraph mainly talks about________.
A．how to keep secrets from parents
B．how to deal with the mother-daughter relationship
C．how to conduct the lives
D．how the generation gap comes about
Part Ⅲ Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks)
(2013·醴陵二中高一检测)As we all know, all the governments in the world collect taxes (税), but what are they and what are they used for? Some people may not know about them.
There are two kinds of taxes. One of the most important taxes is income－taxes which a person pays according to the amount of his income. Whatever he is, he must pay tax if income is more than a certain amount. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money directly to the government.
Another tax is paid on goods. When they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeepers.
People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on what they need. On one hand, we need policemen and soldiers to protect us from danger. Meanwhile, we also need schools and teachers for our children. On the other hand, we need officials and workers to serve us. Above all, we need money to develop our nation.
Taxes, therefore, can't be avoided. We have no real reason to complain when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens.
Title：51.________ are necessary in our life
Section B (10 marks)
What is the secret ingredient of tough people that enables them to succeed? Why do they survive the tough times when others are overcome by them? Why do they win when others lose? Why do they soar when others sink?
The answer is very simple. It's all in how they sense their problems. Yes, every living person has problems. A problem－free life is an illusion—a mirage ( 海市蜃楼)in the desert. Then accept that fact.
Every mountain has a peak. Every valley has its low point. Life has its ups and downs, its peaks and its valleys. No one is up all the time, nor are they down all the time. Problems do end. They are all resolved in time.
You may not be able to control the times, but you can compose your response. You can turn your pain into profanity or into poetry. The choice is up to you. You may not have chosen your tough time, but you can choose how you will react to it.
The positive solution to a problem may require courage to do it. When you control your reaction to the seemingly uncontrollable problem of life, then in fact you do control the problem's effect on you. Your reaction to the problem is the last word! That's the bottom line. What will you let this problem do to you? It can make you tender or tough. It can make you better or bitter. It all depends on you.
In the final analysis, the tough people who survive the tough times do so because they've chosen to react positively to their dilemmA.Tough times never last, but tough people do. Tough people stick it out. History teaches us that every_problem_has_a_lifespan.

综合检测(三)
1．D 考查冠词。throughout history“贯穿整个历史”，history前不加冠词；sb.become＋职业/身份等“……成为……”，表示独一无二的职位的名词在作表语时，前面不加冠词。
2．B 考查动词词义辨析。consist of“由……组成，由……构成”，不用于被动语态中；be made up of“由……构成/组成”；be made of“由……制成”。故选项B正确。
3．D 表示前面的否定情况也适用于后者时常用“Neither/Nor＋be动词/助动词/情态动词＋另一主语”，故D项切题。
4．A 句意：——你的报告完成了吗？——没有，再过十分钟才能完成。another ten minutes表示“还需要10分钟”，可用ten more minutes替换。
5．A 句意：——你觉得明天开会吉姆会迟到吗？——毫无疑问，他就爱迟到。no doubt毫无疑问，符合句意。not really并非如此，how come怎么可能，no way不可能。
6．A 句意：——你有衣服要洗吗？我帮你洗。——不用了，谢谢，我要自己洗。have sth.to do有某事要做(do所表示的动作由主语发出)，have sth.to be done有某事要做(do所表示的动作不是主语发出的)，此处you不是wash这一动作的执行者，故不定式用被动式，选A。
7．D 句意：不要被承诺让你迅速减肥的产品给骗了。take off起飞，迅速流行；take out带……出去；take away带走；take in欺骗。D项符合句意。
8．D 考查非谓语动词。本题用还原法做。定语从句先行词为plan，从句谓语动词为see，关系代词代替the plan在从句中作宾语，the plan与carry out之间为动宾关系，故应用过去分词作宾补，构成see sth.done结构。
9．D 动词词义辨析。句意：我们本来打算去成都看一个朋友，但那天发生的强烈地震把我们的计划全毁掉了。ruin指外界原因使事物受到破坏，弄糟。
10．A 考查“make＋宾语＋宾补”结构，结合句意和句子结构可知此处应用interested(感兴趣的)作宾补。
11．C as well as连接的两个名词作主语时，谓语动词与as well as之前的名词在人称和数上保持一致，排除B、D。因every Sunday afternoon in winter暗示此处表示经常性、习惯性的动作，因此应用一般现在时。故选C。
12．D 句意：——你昨晚去看演出了吗？——是的，这个地区的每个女孩和每个男孩都被邀请了。every boy and girl属于“every＋可数名词单数＋and＋(every＋)可数名词单数”结构，该结构作主语时谓语要用单数形式，排除A、B；此处说的是过去的一般情况，所以用一般过去时。
13．B 考查主谓一致的“就近一致”原则。either...or...连接的名词或代词作主语时，谓语动词要与or后面的名词或代词在人称和数上保持一致，one of your students表示单数概念，故本题选B。
14．C with的复合结构中，宾语补足语的非谓语形式根据宾语决定，这里date和fix是被动关系，因此用过去分词。
15．A 句意：——你对求职面试很有信心，对吗？——当然了，我做好了全面准备并且认为自己准备好了他们需要的一切。A项“当然”；B项“很难说”；C项“希望如此”；D项“或许”。
【语篇解读】 天色已晚，作者一家人在半路上遭遇了爆胎。正当他们不知所措的时候，一辆汽车驶来。在好心人的帮助下，他们顺利回到了自己的家。
16．A 当我们前往纳兰德拉的时候，天渐渐黑了，我们“打算(planned)”在那里过夜。
17. C
18．A 我们“卸下(removed)”所有的野营工具，“换掉(changed)”那只没气的轮胎，这时天已经很“黑(dark)”了。第一段中的late afternoon是对第17空的提示。上文“轮胎没气”的事实为下文的“卸装备”和“换轮胎”提供了依据。
19．C 由转折词But及下文求助的过程可知，我们没有“备用轮胎(spare)”了。
20．C 正当我们在讨论是睡在车里还是走到最近的农场寻求帮助时，远方有车灯“出现(appeared)”。
21．B 我们车里面的灯亮着，以便那位司机能够“看到(see)”我们是一家人而不是一种威胁。
22．A 很幸运(Luckily)，过来的是一对夫妻和他们的三个孩子，他们住在附近的一个养猪场。由下文作者一家人得到帮助的事实可知他们是幸运的。
23．B 我们都挤到他们的车里，很快我们就“到达(arrived at)”了他们的农场。
24．D 第二天早上，给我们做了美味的早餐之后，那位农场主便带“我”丈夫去附近的城镇买新轮胎。
25．A 我们“两家(families)”相处得那么好以至于他们“邀请(invited)”我们再待一天。
26．C 他们想让我们了解一下农场的运作方式并观看他们女儿“大胆地(fearlessly)”骑其中的一头大猪。
27．D 最后我们回到了我们南澳大利亚的家，非常“感激(grateful)”这一家人对我们的友好帮助。
28．a 29.that/which 30.in 31.his 32.What 33.but 34.it 35.same
36．D 由第一段中“He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures，...”这一信息可知D项正确。
37．A 由上文可知，在此之前他很穷，从没有见过这么一大笔钱，所以，当他看到时应该是感到“吃惊”。dumbfounded意为“惊呆了”，与文意相符合。
38．A 由第二段中He said to himself，“I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days；or I give up my work in the factory and...”这一信息可知，A项正确。
39．A 由第三段最后一句话可知A项正确。
40．A 由文意可知，只有A项比较全面地概括了本文大意，而B、C、D三项都比较片面。
41．C 这篇文章讲了一些社交场合让人不舒服的人的行为，所以应该是出自一本社交学的书。
42．A 推理判断题。从第四段的句子：You must stand up to let them pass.You are proud of yourself-control after they have settled into their seats可知这种行为让你很难过。
43．D 细节理解题。从最后一段的句子：They enjoy learning about your personal business.可知这是喜欢打探别人隐私的人。
44．B 文章介绍的“pain in the neck”的人是从行为上让人难过的，不是真的有颈椎病的人。
45．A 主旨大意题。从整篇文章看是介绍了一些公共场合不礼貌的行为。
46．B 推理判断题。根据文中的“your new novel，a second novel”等关键词及访谈内容可知，Ms Tan是一名小说家。C、D两项有一定的干扰性，注意题干中问的是“profession(职业)”。
47．C 细节理解题。根据文中的“...it took me six or seven attempts at a second novel before I started and completed this one.”可知，Tan在完成这部书的写作之前曾经历过六七次尝试，说明这本书是她经过多次深思熟虑的作品。
48．B 细节理解题。“她计划写几本书？”这个问题在文中找不到答案，其他三项文中均有涉及。
49．A 推理判断题。根据文中的“She also told me many，many stories，because my mother doesn't generalize.”和“So it's very vivid.That's the way she talks.”可知，Tan的母亲是一位善于讲故事的人。
50．D 主旨大意题。此段大意是：传统地认为母亲有教育孩子们一生如何生活的权力，而孩子们随着年龄的增长，他们不愿将自己的秘密告诉父母，从而产生了代沟。因此本段主要阐述的是代沟是如何产生的。
51．Taxes 52.Kinds 53.Direct tax 54.The shopkeepers 55.uses 56.people 57.Policemen and soldiers 58.Schools and teachers 59.On serrice
60．Our nation
61．A problem-free life.
62．Tough times never last./Problems do end.
63．The positive attitude and sticking it out./The positive reaction to the problem./Reacting positively to the dilemma.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
There used to be a term that was used to describe someone who drove their vehicles down the highway while staring at the scenery.These drivers just drove slowly，taking their own sweet time，as if they had nothing to do and no place in particular to go.Thus，the expression，“Sunday driver”，was born.Consequently，a Sunday driver wasn't necessarily someone who was driving on a Sunday.A person could be a Sunday driver any day of the week.The_expression_simply_ meant_that_the_person_was_an_obstacle_to_other_drivers_who_were_in_a_hurry.
The expression probably came about because there was a time when people would often decide to go for a relaxing drive on Sunday afternoons.A Sunday drive was a common occurrence years ago and especially on a nice warm sunny day.There were no stores open on Sunday because of the“blue laws”，so you needed to be sure and fill up the gas tank and make any other needed purchases before Sunday arrived.
Some of the states had strict blue laws that even prohibited some activities on Sunday.However, there is still a lot to be said for the slow, gentle life that once existed.It was a time when very few people worked on Sunday except for those professions vital to our well-being such as those in the medical profession.It was a day“set apart” that was used to rest, visit with neighbors and friends, or maybe go to grandma's house for supper.Today there are many who return to work and children who go back to school overly tired on Monday due to a lack of rest.Perhaps there would be less stress related illnesses if we really kept Sunday as a day of rest.

A．drives his vehicle on Sundays
B．drives for fun and relaxation
C．enjoys a weekend break
D．makes a Sunday purchase

A．Sunday drivers affected traffic flow.

3．What kind of activity was strictly prohibited on Sunday by blue laws?
A．Visiting with neighbors and friends.
B．Going to the hospital to see a doctor.
C．Having a family get-together.
D．Selling goods or services.

A．earn a lot more money

B
At dawn on Friday, May 19,1780，farmers in New England stopped to wonder at the pink color of the sun.By noon the sky had darkened to midnight blackness, causing Americans, still in the painful struggle of a prolonged war of independence，to light candles and tremble at thoughts of the Last Judgment.As the birds quieted and no storm accompanied the darkness, men and women crowded into churches，where one minister commented that“The people were very attentive”．John Greenleaf Whittier later wrote that “Men prayed, and women wept；all ears grew sharp...”
A recent study of researchers, led by Richard Guyette from the University of Missouri Tree-Ring Laboratory，has shown that vast forest fires in the Algonquin Highlands of southern Ontario and elsewhere in Canada brought this event upon New England.The scientists have discovered“fire scars”on the rings for that year，left when the heat of a wildfire has killed a part of a tree's cambium (形成层)．Evidence collected also points to a drought that year.An easterly wind and low barometric pressure (低气压) helped force smoke into the upper atmosphere.“The record fits pretty close，” says Guyette.“We had the right fuel，the drought.The conditions were all there.”
Lacking the ability to communicate quickly over long distances, Americans in 1780 remained in the dark about the event，which had disappeared by the next day.Over the next several months, the papers carried heated debates about what brought the darkness.Some were the voices of angry prediction，such as one Massachusetts farmer who wrote，“Oh! Backsliding New England, attend now to the things which belong to your peace before they are forever hid from your eyes.”Others gave different answers.One stated that “a flaming star” had passed between the earth and the sun.Ash, argued another commentator.The debate, carried on throughout New England, where there were no scientific journals or academies yet, reflected an unfolding culture of scientific enquiry already sweeping the Western world，a revolution nearly as influential as the war for independence from the English.
New Englanders would not soon forget that dark day；it lived on in folklore, poems，and sermons for generations
6．New Englanders crowded into churches because they were frightened by ________.
A．the pink color of the sun
B．the darkened sky at daytime
C．the Last Judgment on Friday
D．the American War of Independence
7．What can we infer about the event in New England on May 19,1780?
A．Prayers remained silent and attentive.
B．Night birds no longer came out to sing.
C．People's ears became sharper than usual.
D．Mid-day meals were served by candlelight.
8．According to the researchers，the origin of the event was ________.
A．an east wind
B．a severe drought
C．some burning fuel
D．low barometric pressure
9．What can we know about the debates after the dark day?
A．They focused on causes of the event.
B．They swept throughout the Western world.
C．They were organized by scientific institutions.
D．They improved Americans' ability to communicate.
10．What can be the BEST title for the text?
A．New England's dark day
B．Voices of angry prediction
C．There is no smoke without fire
D．Tree rings and scientific discovery

2．B 表示某人的确如此用“so＋主语＋助动词”结构；表示后者与前者情况相同，则用“so＋系动词、助动词、情态动词＋另一主语”结构，因此B项正确。
3．A 句意：李白作为诗人而出名，他因他的诗闻名。be famous as作为……而出名；be known for因……而出名。
4．B civilization作为“文明社会，文明世界”讲时，为不可数名词，根据句意此处即为此意，所以A项错误。C、D项均为形容词。
5．C 句意：——你听说过有关最近选举的事情了吗？——当然，这已经成为最近三天报道的唯一话题。根据时间状语“for the last three days”可知此处用现在完成时，故答案为C。for the last three days是本题的关键信息，它多与现在完成时连用。
6．D 考查由副词there引起的倒装句。句意：约翰打开门。那儿站着一个他从没有见过的女孩。当here，there，thus，then等副词位于句首，且当句子的主语是名词时，句子用全部倒装。所以D项为正确答案。
7．A 句意：该宫殿在上世纪曾三次失火，现在原始的建筑物所剩无几。考查动词的时态和语态。remain是不及物动词，没有被动语态或进行时态，故排除B、C和D，而选择A。

11．A 表示方向的副词up前置，句子谓语动词为jump，但句子主语为人称代词，所以句子主谓不倒装，故本题选A。
12．C remains意为：剩余物，遗迹。第二空考查bury充当宾语补足语，与宾语buildings为被动关系。
13．B 句意：——你的峨眉山之行如何？——除了路上车抛锚了两次，一切都很顺利。break down出故障，(车)抛锚，符合语境。slow down慢下来；get down下来，写下；put down镇压，写下。
14．A 句意：上个月我们去法国度假了，那儿的坏天气彻底毁了我们的假期。ruin在此指毁坏美好的事物。damage损坏，一般指破坏具体的事物，且损坏程度较轻；harm伤害；cover覆盖，报道。
15．A 句意：九寨沟非常美，每年都有很多游客涌来欣赏它的美景。pour in涌入，符合句意及句子结构的要求，in在此为副词。pour into涌入，into为介词，其后要接宾语；reach作“到达”解时，为及物动词，其后要接宾语；reach out伸出，与句意不符。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文通过对“Sunday driver”的描述，反映了作者对旧日美好时光的怀念，表达了作者对现在人们紧张生活的看法。
1．B 细节理解题。从文章第一段的内容可知，“Sunday driver”指的就是那些为了乐趣和放松而驾车出行的人。

5．A 态度意图题。从文章最后一段可以看出，作者认为“blue laws”禁止周末进行商业活动使得人们可以在周末休息放松，这样可以减少因压力而产生的疾病，因此可判断作者对于“blue laws”是持支持态度的。

In Paris ，Isabella became close friends with one of her classmates，Julia Gardner，whose family was from Boston.Julia would later introduce Isabella to her brother，Jak.In 1860，Isabella Stewart married Jack Gardner.

Ⅳ.阅读填空
Rest is critical to life and work and a positive attitude towards rest needs to be maintained, for enough rest is significant to our body and mind while lack of adequate rest, as well as misleading attitudes to rest, will do great harm to our health.
Rest is vital to our ability to fun_ction at our best. Recent news stories report that scientists are learning surprising things about the importance of sleep. There is enough evidence suggesting that rest will refresh us, enabling our body and mind to work efficiently. Besides, rest is important for more than that; it is helpful in setting appropriate goals and deciding what goals to attain first. Those who are caught up in extremely busy lives lack the time to think about what they are doing and to make objective decisions, which blocks the maximization of their potential.
On the contrary, lack of adequate rest damages brain fun_ction so much that sleep experts have been able to measure drops in IQ in patients who are short of sleep. Other studies have presented a negative effect on body movements in sleep-wanting subjects. It should not, therefore, be a surprise that the California Highway Patrol has stated that Sleep-wanting drivers are as great a threat to road safety as are drunk drivers.
However, rest is widely misunderstood by some people. Instead of sleep, they go to pubs and clubs and claim that this kind of entertaining is rest. For example, what they call social drinking or having a smoke with friends. Nowadays, the economy forces people to drink and gamble for the sake of the circles one moves in. This is what fools claim thoughtlessly that it's restful. The truth is that rest means not using our labor both physically and mentally, even spiritually.
We need to rest correctly and sufficiently; otherwise, tiredness and illness will occur. Without sufficient rest, good work is impossible. Rest is critical; it is not an end in itself.

Ⅱ.1.D 句意：我对他的第一印象是他是一个善良而又富有思想的年轻人。expression表达，表示；attention注意；satisfaction满意；impression印象。根据所给语境及句意可知选D。
2．B 句意：凯特提前把钱给他了，这无疑是一个错误。根据句意可知，空白处要用no doubt表示“无疑”。
3．A 句意：过了几分钟，我才意识到出了什么事。根据题干中的结构可知，此处要用be aware what...表示“意识到……”。concerned关心的；awake醒着的；ashamed惭愧的，均不符合语境。
4．B 由句中的some...and some...可知，句子主语更强调个体，所以句子谓语用复数，排除A、C两项，be dressed in表示“穿着”，故B项切题。
5．D judging from.../to judge from...是固定短语，常在句中作状语，不能用过去分词形式。
6．A 答句句意：是的，萝卜青菜，各有所爱。由语境可知所填词要与meat形成对比，poison毒药，符合语境。medicine药；meal饭；food食物，食品。
7．D 句意：这座大楼被命名为Ford Hall，以此来纪念叫James Ford的这个人。in memory of为了纪念；a man与name是被动关系，故用过去分词。
8．D 考查副词词义辨析。结合句意：在大地震中他失去了父母，但幸运的是，一对善良的夫妇收养了他。故D项正确。
9．A 句意：听！你听见有人在喊救命吗？由语境可知，此处表示动作正在进行，且someone与call是主谓关系，故用现在分词作宾补。
10．D 句意：据报道现在在灾区正在建很多新房子。由at present可排除B、C两项。“many a＋名词”作主语时，谓语用单数，故本题选D。
11．A 句意：在老师的带领下，我们能取得很大的进步。考查with复合结构。teacher与lead为逻辑上的主动关系，不定式表示将来。
12．B 句意：既然已完成工作了，你就应该好好休息一下。now that意为“既然，由于”，表示因果关系。
13．A fight for意思为“为了……而斗争”，因为句中用了in history这一表过去的时间状语，所以应用一般过去时，排除B、D项；第三个空表示“与……”的含义，应用介词with。故A项正确。
14．D corrupt使堕落，毁坏，与strengthen加强相对。句意：他们相信竞争加强了民族性而不是毁坏它。
15．A world作“一个……的世界”讲，可加不定冠词；in peace为固定搭配，意思为“平安地，和平地”。故选A。
Ⅲ.1.D 主旨大意题。本文主要是讲了Isabella Stewart Gardner的一生和她为了实现自己心中目标所作的奋斗。故答案选D。
2．C 句意猜测题。根据文章第四段的“...was a young country developing quickly in other areas”可以判断出，当时美国的其他领域发展的相当的快，而艺术则相对落后。故答案选C。
3．D 细节理解题。根据文章第五段，Isabella Stewart亲自买建筑用地，雇用建筑设计者，监管建筑的每个细节，其目的就是要确保博物馆快速而高质量地完成从而实现自己的梦想。故答案选D。
4．A 细节判断题。根据文章第三段，Isabella Stewart 当时与Jack 的妹妹是同学，故A与原文不符；第四段提到当时的博物馆冷而空洞，因此应该感觉不舒服，故B与原文一致；根据文章第五段和第六段，Isabella Gardner 的丈夫是在1898年去世的，而她的博物馆的开馆时间是在1903年，也就是其丈夫死后5年，故C项与原文一致；根据第六段，当时进博物馆是需要花钱的，因此，D项也与原文一致。故答案选A。
5．D 细节理解题。Isabella Stewart死后留下一百万美元，但是这些不一定是经营博物馆所得，所以很难说她从艺术收藏中得到很多钱，故A不对；根据第六段，当时的博物馆叫Fenway Court，但现在不是，故B不对；该博物馆向大众开放是在1月份的下个月，即2月份，故C不对；根据文章最后一段，她死后就博物馆的经营方面作了要求，因此，现在的经营仍然受到当时Isabella stewart 的要求所影响。故答案选D。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Drive-in movie theaters are considered an American invention.Drive-ins became very popular in the United States after World War Two.They combined two popular loves in America: cars and movies.
The first drive-in movie theater opened in the United States in 1933.People could watch a film on the big screen while sitting in their car, eating，talking and relaxing.
Many drive-in theaters opened in the 1950s, as the American economy expanded(发展)after the war and more people bought cars.In the 1960s，there were between 4,000 and 6,000 drive-in theaters in the United States.There wasn't really television at that point in all the homes.And so it was just sort of this thing that families did where they saw their neighbors, where they took their kids.But almost as soon as drive-ins were everywhere, their popularity began to fade.Today, fewer than 400 are still operating in the United States.So why did drive-ins lose their appeal (吸引力)?
Some of the older theaters were dirty and the quality of the films declined.In the late 1960s, more people were buying color televisions.And more indoor theaters were opening with multiple choices of films.The 1970s and the 1980s brought video rentals (录影带租借) and cable TV with many choices of channels.Televisions made it easier and cheaper to stay at home for entertainment.
Today，there are more choices and more ways than ever to experience entertainment.If you really want to watch a movie in your car，you could watch it on a DVD player or stream video on a mobile device.You don't have to go to a drive-in any more.
In spite of that, some people still think drive-in movie theaters can still be an important focus in the cultural life of a community and they still go there.
1．In the 1950s, what Americans were very interested in were ________.
A．peace and relaxation
B．houses and cars

D．relaxation and culture
2．After the war, many people bought cars ________.
A．because they wanted to travel

C．because they got rich
D．in order to see movies in drive-ins
3．What influenced the drive-ins most according to the passage?
A．Video rentals. B．Televisions.
C．Car videos. D．The Internet.
4．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A．some people still like to go to a drive-in to see movies
B．drive-ins are getting more important in the community
C．more people prefer going to the indoor theatres to drive-ins
D．drive-ins are popular though there're more cho-
ices for relaxing
5．What is the BEST title of this passage?

课时作业(八)
Ⅰ.1.extreme 2.complaint 3.bone 4.solution 5.historical 6.fled 7.ashes 8.institute
9．disaster 10.beneath
Ⅱ.1.C 句意：因缺少停车设施，我们接到了很多客户的投诉。complaint投诉，符合语境。
2．C 句意：自1990年以来，来中国上大学的外国学生数量一直在稳步增加。“the number of＋复数名词”作主语，谓语动词用单数形式；由时间状语since 1990判断句子用现在完成进行时。
3．A 题干中family指一个家庭，强调整体概念，故第一分句的谓语用单数，排除D；加之consist不用于被动语态，排除C。all指所有家庭成员，强调个体，第二分句的谓语用复数，故A项切题。
4．B 题干中含有“have difficulty(in)doing sth.”结构的变化形式，imagine后接的宾语从句是感叹句，由“What＋adj.＋不可数名词＋其他”结构可知，B项切题。
5．D 句意：他们使用电脑来保证交通的顺畅。keep“使……保持(某种状态)”，其后用现在分词作补语；run“运转，运行”，是不及物动词，与the traffic是逻辑上的主动关系。
6．B 句意：——那个司机被认为违反了交通规则。——那就是警察考虑罚他款的原因吗？第一句中的consider意为“认为”，be considered to have done意为“被认为做了某事”；第二句中的consider意为“考虑”，consider doing sth.考虑做某事。综上可知B项切题。
7．B It remains to be seen...表示“……有待证实/弄清楚”，为常用句型。it是形式主语，此处whether引导的从句是真正的主语。句意：吉姆是否很适合参加决赛还不知道。
8．D 句意：我们多数人都知道应该减少脂肪的摄入量，但当涉及购物和吃的时候，知道这些起不了很大的作用。appeal to对……有吸引力；call for要求；focus on集中精力于……；come to谈到，涉及。D项符合语境。
9．D 考查动词词义辨析。句意：想挣更多钱的欲望使他发疯，有一天晚上他进了一家超市。drive sb.mad为固定搭配，意为“把某人逼疯”。
10．C 考查代词用法区别。句意：——下午三点时我们见面好吗？——抱歉，咱们改个时间吧。没有other's形式；the other指两者中另外一个；other形容词，意为“其他的，别的”，后接名词或者代词。以上三者均不合句意。
11．B 句意：这位著名的音乐家和他的学生被邀请为2012年台北花卉展的开幕式表演。“被邀请”是一个发生在过去的动作，而且不表示对现在造成了影响，也不表示动作持续到现在，所以不能选用完成时。根据主谓一致的语法规则，A as well as B作主语时，遵循“就前原则”，也就是说谓语动词要和A保持一致。也可以理解为本句的主语是A而不是B，所以本题谓语动词的数要和the famous musician保持一致，用was invited。
12．A 句意：这所大学估计，国际学生的生活费用每年大约8 450美元，这对他们中的一些学生来说是一个负担。第一个空的主语为living expenses“生活费用”，所以谓语动词用复数形式；“which________a burden for some of them”是一个非限制性定语从句，which指代前面的“生活费用高”这件事，故此处谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
13．A 句意：一般说来，别人对其期望值高的学生，他们的内在动机对自身的发展是至关重要的。分析句子结构可知，该句的主语部分为students' inner motivation with high expectations from others，中心词inner motivation显然为第三人称单数。再根据generally(一般说来)判断该句话讲的是通常情况，所以用一般现在时。解答该类题目的关键在于找准中心词。
14．D 句意：当看到道路被雪堵住的时候，我们决定在家里度假。分析结构可知，此处是“see＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构；宾补是do形式时，表示“看见宾语做某事的整个过程”；宾补是doing形式时，表示“看见宾语正在做某事”；若宾补与宾语之间为动宾关系，则要用过去分词作宾补。分析结构可知，此处block与宾语the road之间为动宾关系，应用blocked作宾补，故正确答案为D项。解此类试题，分析宾语与宾补的逻辑关系是解题关键。
15．B 句意：要让那些生活困难的人们相信我们会全力以赴帮助他们的。本题考查let sb.do sth.结构，let是使役动词，其后作宾补的动词不定式要省略to，故该题的正确答案为B。in need生活困难的，作those的后置定语。
Ⅲ.1.B 上文提到游泳，所以应该是跳入水中，故选B项dived。D项有较大干扰性，come into意思是“走进”，联系in a hurry我们知道，他是“潜入”，而不是“进入”。
2．D 下句中提到短吻鳄游向岸边(shore)，可推测孩子游向湖心，故选D项middle。A项有较大的干扰性，联系空后的内容我们知道，他游到了鳄鱼存在的深水区，而不是水底。
3．A 上文提到湖在孩子家的后面，可知妈妈正在屋内从窗户里向外张望，故选A项looking out of。break into破门而入；take care of照料，照顾。
4．C 从常识可知，当自己的孩子有危险时，作为妈妈应该大声喊他，以示警告，故选C项yelling。
5．B make a turn表示转变。其他选项有一定干扰性，但不与turn构成搭配。
6．C 下文提到孩子的双臂有很多伤疤，可知，妈妈为了救孩子，紧紧地抓住了孩子的双臂，故选C项seized。D项有一定干扰性，touch意思是“触摸”，因此可以排除。
7．D 下文提到有人帮助了妈妈，可知短吻鳄比她更有劲，故选D项stronger。B、C都有一定干扰性，联系上下文我们知道，孩子的母亲与鳄鱼在进行力量上的对比。
8．C 孩子被短吻鳄咬伤，送入医院及时治疗而得以幸存，故选C项survived最佳。D项有较大干扰性，但注意cure是及物动词，要用被动语态。
9．B 从上文可知，妈妈为了救孩子，紧紧地抓住了孩子的双臂，应是在孩子的臂上留下了抓痕。A项有一定干扰性，mark指“符号”，因此可排除。
10．B 由上文可知，妈妈抓住了孩子，故选B项。hang on to意为“抓住”，与上文的seize和catch相对应。A、C两项有一定干扰性，break away from摆脱；look out for当心，小心，均不符语境。
11．D 由上文reporter可知，记者在采访孩子。A项有一定干扰性，meet指“遇到”，联系空后的asked可排除。
12．C 由于妈妈的爱使孩子获救，孩子为妈妈的行为感到骄傲。A项有一定干扰性，confidence意思是“信心”，联系后文“I have great scars on my arms，too”可排除A项。
13．of 14.not 15.another 16.in 17.the
18．what 19.while 20.but
Ⅳ.1.C 从第一段最后一句话“美国人把他们钟爱的两样东西——汽车和电影，融合在一起”可知答案。
2．C 第三段的Many drive-in theaters opened in the 1950s，as the American economy expanded after the war and more people bought cars告诉我们“二战后，美国经济迅速发展”，由此可推断出，更多的人买车是因为他们富有。
3．B 根据第四、五段内容，特别是第四段最后一句话，可推断出，电视对汽车影院冲击最大。录影带也需要通过电视才能观看，汽车影像出现时，汽车影院已经萧条，文章没有提到因特网。
4．A 该段内容是：尽管有各种影音设备，有些人仍然认为，汽车影院仍是社区文化生活的重要组成部分，他们仍然去那儿。由此可推断出，汽车影院仍然受到部分人的青睐。
5．C 文章主要讲了美国汽车影院的产生、发展以及衰落，所以C项正确。
