Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
Some unusual words describe how a person spends his or her time. For example, someone who likes to spend a lot of time sitting or lying down while watching television is sometimes called a couch potato. A couch is a piece of furniture that people sit on while watching television.
Robert Armstrong, an artist from California, developed the term “couch potato”in 1976.Several years later, he listed the term as a trademark with the United States government.Mr.Armstrong also helped write a funny book about life as a full-time television watcher. It is called the “Official Couch Potato Handbook”．
Couch potatoes enjoy watching television just as mouse potatoes enjoy working on computers.A computer mouse is the device that moves the pointer，or cursor, on a computer screen. The description of mouse potato became popular in 1993.American writer Alice Kahn is said to have invented the term to describe young people who spend a lot of time using computers.
Too much time inside the house using a computer or watching television can cause someone to get cabin fever.A cabin is a simple house usually built far away from the city.People go to a cabin to relax and enjoy quiet time.
Cabin fever is not really a disease. However，people can experience boredom and restlessness if they spend too much time inside their homes.This is especially true during the winter when it is too cold or snowy to do things outside.Often children get cabin fever if they cannot go outside to play.So do their parents.This happens when there is so much snow that schools and even offices and stores are closed.
Some people enjoy spending a lot of time in their homes to make them nice places to live.This is called nesting or cocooning.Birds build nests out of sticks to hold their eggs and baby birds.Some insects build cocoons around themselves for protection while they grow and change.Nests and cocoons provide security for wildlife.So people like the idea of nests and cocoons，too.
The terms cocooning and nesting became popular more than twenty years ago.They describe people buying their first homes and filling them with many things.These people then had children.
Now these children are grown-up and have left the nest.They are in college.Or they are married and starting families of their own far away.Now these parents are living alone without children in their empty nest.They have become empty nesters.
36．Which of the following was first used?
A．Couch potato. B．Cocooning.
C．Mouse potato. D．Nesting.
37．________refers to a person who spends much time on computer.
A．A couch potato B．A nester
C．A mouse potato D．An empty nester
38．Why can most people easily get cabin fever in winter?
A．Because they are addicted to computer games.
B．Because they would like to play outside.
C．Because it is so cold that they couldn't go outside.
D．Because they are too busy at work or school.
39．What's the passage mainly about?
A．How to get rid of cabin fever.
B．How people become nesters or empty nesters.
C．How to spend your leisure time.
D．The origin of some words.

(2013·陕西高考)About 30 years ago，I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later，my son's teacher asked me to meet him at his office.
In the teacher's office, an exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded (弱智的)? Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？”
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? No, no, it can't be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.
My son could not follow the teacher's directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didn't he know my son did not speak English yet?
He was angry: “Why hasn't your son been taught to speak English? Don't you speak English at home？”
No，I didn't speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn't want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society？”
Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people”. Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.
As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)．
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.
40．The teacher asked the author to his office________.
A．to discuss Scola's in-class performance
B．to get Scola enrolled in kindergarten
C．to find a language partner for Scola
D．to work out a study plan for Scola
41．What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Breaking. B．Following.
C．Attending. D．Disturbing.
42．The author's attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as________.
A．critical B．casual
C．positive D．passive
43．This text is likely to be selected from a book of________.
A．medicine B．education
C．geography D．history

So there you can on the phone，you ask a question，and suddenly there's silence.What is this，the phone's gone dead，the person you're talking to is dead？Possibly.But there could be another reason—the other person could be Finnish，or Japanese.
According to a handy new booklet from British Telecom(BT)for business people，in countries such as Britain and Italy “conversation is a form of entertainment.There is a continuous flow of talk...”．But in other countries especially Finland and Japan，“it is not only impolite to break in，but listeners will think over what has been said in silence.”
It also points out that English，when spoken by foreigners，it likely to include plenty of “false friends”，where word-for-word translation fails.If a Frenchman says something is “interesting”，he probably means it's profitable.If he“demands” something，he's actually just asking.If an American says your proposal is “quite good”，you should be pleased，because “quite”means “very”．But if he tells you to “table” a proposal，then things are not good at all.Whereas an English person would understand tabling a proposal as putting an idea forward，to an American it means shelves it.
According to the booklet British people are not “explicit” like the Americans，the Dutch，the Germans or the French.“If a Dutchman says an idea is interesting, he means that it is interesting. If an Englishman says it is interesting，you have to deduce (推论) from the way he says it whether he means it is a good or bad idea.”
The Japanese, the Russians and the Arabs on the other hand，live in the land of true diplomatic subtlety (微妙的). “If they say an idea is interesting, it may simply be out of politeness”．
It is safest to stick with plain speaking whenever possible，BT advises its British readers.And whatever you do，be careful to limit the use of the famous British sense of humor.
44．When someone says that an idea is interesting, who don't really mean it?
A．The Dutch. B．The French.
C．The British. D．The Japanese.
45．While speaking in English, a foreigner seems________.
A．to use the words “false friends” quite often
B．to have difficulty in expressing himself clearly
C．to have a strong foreign accent
D．to keep on forgetting English words
46．It can be inferred from the passage that the best thing to do while talking to others, especially to foreigners, is to________.
A．speak as a diplomat
B．avoid being somewhat entertaining
C．speak with a sense of humor
D．be fully aware of culture differences
47．The BEST title of this passage is________.
A．The Way People Talk
B．The British A Different Nationality
C．English—An International Language
D．Telephone Calls and Foreigners

Since my retirement(退休)from teaching music in 2001，I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist.I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died，so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father，or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him.In any case，I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(风景画)much influenced(影响)by Krenkel and St.John for five years.
For some strange reason，I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again，but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth，who quickly became my favorite artist.I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look.So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting.However，watercolors remained my first choice，and I think I did my best work there，showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.
Art is now together with my piano playing and reading.There is a time for everything in my world，and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do.As Confucius once said，“At seventy I can follow my heart's desire.”
52．What is the text mainly about?
A．Learning to paint in later life.
B．How to paint watercolors.
C．An artist-turned teacher.
D．Life after retirement.
53．The author started drawing again in 1995 because________.
A．he hoped to draw a picture of his father
B．he couldn't stop missing his father
C．he had more time after retirement
D．he liked animals and landscapes

B．painted landscapes in Minnesota for 5 years
C．believed Wyeth to be the best in watercolors
D．started his retirement life at the age of seventy
55．How does the author probably feel about his life as an artist?
A．Very enjoyable. B．A bit regretful.
C．Rather busy. D．Fairly dull.

Being on bad terms with your neighbors can make your life frustrating day after day.But taking the time to establish a good relationship with your neighbors has a good many benefits.The community will be friendlier，the neighborhood will be safer，and the area will be a nicer and more comfortable place to live in.There are some suggestions to develop a good relationship with your neighbors.
Whether you're new in the neighborhood or a new resident has just moved into your area，introduce yourself.Say hello，offer a gift and share or ask about the local area.
Sometimes，you can remedy(补救) problems before they even start；for example，if you do a lot of yard work，let them know in advance and mention that if it's getting too loud，they shouldn't hesitate to let you know.
Be aware of the shared walls if you and your neighbors share adjacent(相邻的) living spaces.And try to put noisy household appliances such as washing machines and tumble dryers away from the shared walls.
Keep your pet dog on a leash(皮带) if it has a habit of running on your neighbors' lawns，especially if they have a pet cat or a pet dog of their own，and be sure to clean the lawns up afterwards.
When you park your vehicle，be sure not to block anyone's access，or make them have to pull out of a very tight spot.Don't slam(砰地关上) your car doors late at night.

综合检测(一)
1．B 句意：——她不漂亮，她长得不像她妈妈，她妈妈是个大美人。——那又怎么样？她有足够的能力接管她妈妈的公司。resemble看起来像；so what？那又怎么样？符合句意。
2．D 考查形容词辨析。此处表示他缺乏足够的睡眠，用adequate表示“足够的”。evident“明显的，明白的”；apparent“显然的，显而易见的，明白易懂的”；absolute“绝对的，完全的”。
3．C keep sb.informed“告知某人”。
4．C 考查非谓语动词。根据“因为古城被茂密的森林围绕”可知，surround和the ancient city之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系，因此应用过去分词形式。
5．C 考查There is no point in doing sth.“干某事是没有意义的”。根据句意可知，想说服他改变主意是没有意义的。
6．A 考查短语的区别。sign up“跟……签合同”；hold up“阻滞，抢劫”；take up“占据，开始从事”；put up“搭起，张贴”。句意：他们设法跟所有最佳演员签订合同。所以A项合适。
7．A 考查连词。句意：美好的爱情让你从一个人那里看到整个世界，而糟糕的爱情让你因一个人而放弃整个世界。while有“但是，然而”之意，表示前后情况的对比。
8．D 句意：他悄悄地爬着，为了出其不意地抓住那个贼。on purpose“为了”，作状语；for the purpose of“为了……”。
9．A 句意：当我考上大学时，全家人都祝贺我取得了成功。congratulate sb.on sth.“因为某事向某人祝贺”符合句意。
10．A 表示“某人不在或缺席”时，用in one's absence或用时间状语从句when/while he is away/absent均可。但后半句的结构只能用不定式作真正的主语，不能用动名词。故两空选择均正确的只有A项。
11．D 句意：两数相加，不管加的次序如何，结果相同。regardless of表示“不管，不顾”，符合句意要求。
12．D 句意：她爸爸赞成她在美国再待一年以攻读硕士学位。approve of sb.'s doing表示赞成某人做某事。A项只能是agree to do；B项应为permit sb.to do；C项应为let sb.do。故选D。
13．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。
14．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。
15．D 本题考查名词性从句的引导词。句意：警察找到了可能是丢失的古代雕像的物品。A项which“哪一个”；B项where“哪儿”；C项how“怎样”；D项what“什么”。结合题干，空格前面是动词，表明这里可能是一个宾语从句，同时后面的句子缺主语，因此断定选what(＝the thing that/all that)，这个词不但引导宾语从句，而且还在从句中充当主语。
【语篇解读】 本文为一篇议论文。文章就学习一门语言的原因、方法以及语言学习与年龄、犯错误之间的关系等进行了讨论。
16．C 接下来的such as your job or your studies是对填空部分的列举，据此可知答案为C项。句意：你需要学一门语言是因为某一实际的原因，诸如求职或求学吗？practical实际的。
17．D 本题考查过渡性词语，应着重分析上下文之间的逻辑关系。句意：或许你对另外一个国家的文学、电影、音乐感兴趣，而且你知道掌握该语言将会有很大的帮助。本段讨论的是学习语言的原因，上句和本句分别给出了一种原因，显然两句之间为并列关系。or perhaps或许。故选D项。
18．A 根据语境可知，所填词语与接下来的films or music并列，被of a different country修饰，films or music为文艺方面，故选A项。
19．B view观点，看法；knowledge知识，掌握；form形式，表格，形状；database数据库。have a knowledge of掌握，了解，熟知。故选B项。
20．C 本句为本段的主题句。上一段讨论了学习语言的原因，本段讨论的是学习方法。故选C项。句意：大多数人使用各种不同的方法学得很好，但对许多人来说，传统的课堂是理想的开始。
21．D 根据空格后的内容an environment where...可知，此处应该表示“提供”(provide)一个环境。句意为“它们(传统的课堂)可以提供一种环境：你可以在一个精通该语言的人的指导下练习”。故选D项。
22．C someone who's good at the language对于学习者来说应是“指导”其学习，而不是“控制”、“命令”或“强迫”。under the guidance of在……的指导下。故选C项。
23．A 接下来讨论的是学习一门语言需要大量的时间，故选A项。句意：我们都生活得很忙碌，但学习一门语言需要时间。
24．B 根据接下来的regularly...long...take years等词语可知，学习语言需要时间。故选B项。
25．C 根据前半句中的regularly可知应选C项。句意：如果定期学习，你会获得更多的成功，所以要努力养成习惯。routine例行公事；日常工作；常规，惯例。
26．B 句意：要学到流利的程度需要数年的时间，但只要求说得过去，时间则可以少得多。but表示转折，前一句说的是需要很多时间，后一句自然说相反的情况。故选B项。
27．A 根据接下来的children和adults可知，本段讨论的是学习语言与年龄之间的关系。故选A项。句意：许多人开始学习语言，但很快就放弃了。他们会说“我年龄太大了”。
28．B 根据常识可知，孩子比成年人学习语言的速度更快。故选B项。
29．A 本段讨论的是学习语言与“年龄”之间的关系，故选A项。
30．A 根据常识可知，学习一种语言的时候，人们一般都担心犯错误。worry about担心，故选A项。hesitate about对……犹豫不决；think about考虑；quarrel about就……争吵。
31．D 本文讨论的是学习语言的事情。when learning＝when they are learning a language。故选D项。
32．B 本句为一特殊句型，“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”，该结构相当于一个含有条件状语从句的主从复合句，祈使句表示的是一个条件。句意：放松心态，自嘲自己的错误，这样你再次犯错的可能性就会大减。故选B项。
33．D 根据上下文的信息可锁定本句句意。本句为第四段的首句，起着承上启下的作用，是对上文的总结。上文讨论学习语言的诸多困难，然后通过But with some work and devotion，you'll make progress.话锋一转，讨论学习语言的收获。故选D项。
34．B 通过上句可知，话题转移到讨论学习语言给你的收获——你说上几句他们自己的语言，一些人的积极反应就会让你“惊奇”。故选B项。
35．A 用their指代主句中的some people。故选A项。
【语篇解读】 本文着重介绍了英语中一些词的来历。
36．A 由第二段第一句“Robert Armstrong，an artist from California，developed the term‘couch potato’in 1976”知，couch potato是在1976年第一次被使用，因此A项正确。第三段第三句“The description of mouse potato became popular in 1993”告诉我们mouse potato在1993年才流行，倒数第二段告诉我们cocooning和nesting是20多年前才开始流行的。
37．C 由第三段第一句“Couch potatoes enjoy watching television just as mouse potatoes enjoy working on computers”可知答案。
38．C 由第五段第三句“This is especially true during the winter when it is too cold or snowy to do things outside”可知答案。
39．D 根据本文主要内容可知答案。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过讲述自己的儿子上学前班不会讲英语的经历，表达了多学习一门语言对孩子的终身发展是有好处的观点。
40．A 细节理解题。从文章第一段最后一句“Several weeks later，my son's teacher asked me to meet him at his office.”和第二段中老师问的两个问题“Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？”可知作者孩子的老师是让作者去讨论孩子在班里的表现。由文章第一段第二句中的“I enrolled”可知作者早就给儿子注册了，故B项不正确；老师没有意识到是作者孩子的语言有问题，所以C项和D项也不正确。
41．D 词义猜测题。由前面的“My son could not follow the teacher's directions”可知作者的孩子听不懂老师的指示，因此“干扰”了课堂，所以该词的意思为“disturbing”。
42．C 观点态度题。从文章倒数第三段中的“Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of ‘those people’，”和文章倒数第二段中的“And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)．”可知作者对双语持“肯定的”态度。
43．B 文章出处题。该文章讲述了在教育中双语教学的益处，因此该文章应该是出自教育类书籍，而不是医药书，也不是地理或者历史方面的书籍。
44．D 考查细节理解。倒数第二段提到如果日本人、俄罗斯人和阿拉伯人说一个想法很有意思，可能只是出于礼貌。由此可知他们并不真的这么认为。
45．B 考查推理判断。第三段提到法国人、美国人和英国人说英语时往往需要另作解释，所以他们彼此之间难以清楚地表达自己的观点。false friends只是一种比喻，所以应排除A项。
46．D 考查推理判断。有些外国人是直来直去，有些外国人则非常含蓄，甚至表达相反的意思，因此最好的办法是充分了解文化差异。
47．D 考查主旨大意。文章通过打电话引出与外国人交谈时所产生的问题，所以D项最能概括文章的大意。A项太笼统。
48．A 事实细节题。由第一段倒数第三句话．..and that he'd be happy to lend it to her.可知。
49．D 推理判断题。由第二段第二句“...she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover.”可知答案。floor在此作动词，意为“使(某人)惊讶得不知所措”。
50．A 事实细节题。由文中第二段中间“at a concert back in Montreal，Emma had met a Californian”可知，其中要注意back in Montreal是定语后置，修饰a concert。
51．D 事实细节题。由文章倒数第三句“The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack...”可知。
52．D 主旨大意题。本文用平和的心态叙述了自己的“退休生活”。
53．B 推理判断题。原文信息：“...so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father，or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him.”
54．C 推理判断题。原文信息：“...rediscovered Andrew Wyeth，who quickly became my favorite artist.”据此可推断，作者认为Andrew Wyeth是最优秀的水彩画家。
55．A 推理判断题。从最后一段可以感受到作者对自己的艺术生活是满足的、快乐的。
56．establishing/building/developing/forming
57．including 58.Suggestions 59.hesitation
60．aware 61.sure 62.avoid 63.regularly
64．impact/effect/influence 65.lead/contribute
【参考范文】
Nowadays，with_the_development_of_the_Internet，there_came_a_kind_of_language_called_Web_language.Some people even speak Chinese mixed with English words.This is a phenomenon worth thinking about.
Some people think it kind of ridiculous.In their opinion，it makes no sense in helping people communicate or learn English.Besides，it will ruin the Chinese language.However，others，especially the youngsters，are fond of this way.They think it of special help in expressing themselves.What's more，it may make the language more versatile.
In my opinion.it's not a good practice to use the kind of language.It may be fashionable as some think，but you may also get your idea confusing，leaving the other person at a loss as to your meaning.Of course，the kind of Web language sometimes may be very expressive.

There is no clear advice on how to use your body language.What you do might be explained in several ways，depending on the surroundings and who you are talking to.You'll probably want to use body language differently when talking to your boss compared to when you talk to a girl you're interested in.The following are some effective ways to improve your body language.
First，to change your body language you must be aware of your body language.Notice how you sit，how you stand，how you use your hands and legs，and what you do while talking to someone.You might want to practice in front of a mirror.It might seem silly but no one is watching you.This will show you how you look to other people and also give you an opportunity to practice a bit before going out into the world.
Another tip is to close your eyes and visualize how you would stand and sit to feel confident，open and relaxed or whatever you want to communicate.See yourself move like that version of yourself.Then try it out.
You might also want to observe friends，role models，movie stars or other people you think who have good body language.Observe what they do and they don't and take bits and pieces you like from them.Try using what you can learn from them.
Some of these tips might seem you are pretending something.But pretend it till you make it a useful way to learn something new.And remember，feelings work backwards，too.If you smile a bit more you will feel happier.If you sit up straight you will feel more energetic and in control.If you slow down your movements you'll feel calmer.
1．We can learn from the passage that________.
A．body language is not as important as spoken language
B．movie stars and models always have good body language
C．using more body language can make us more popular
D．different body language should be used in different situations
2．What does the author think about practicing body language in front of a mirror?
A．Useless. B．Helpful.
C．Powerful. D．Foolish.
3．The underlined word“visualize”in Paragraph 4 means________.
A．see in one's mind
B．discuss with somebody
C．look in the mirror
D．practice again and again
4．What does the author mainly want to say in the last paragraph?
A．Don't hide your true feelings.
B．Good body language can help improve your feelings.
C．Try to stay calm all the time.
D．Go on learning more about body language.
B
Greeting Gesture－bowing is the traditional form for both greeting and departing.Western and Korean male friends usually greet with both a slight bow and shaking hands.When shaking hands，both hands are sometimes used.Women usually do not shake hands，especially with men，but usually just nod lightly.The senior person offers to shake hands first，but the junior person bows first.
Avoid hugging and kissing when greeting.Long direct eye contact is considered impolite.When saying good-bye，the traditional gesture is the bow.
Touching Gestures
Generally speaking，the Koreans are not a touching society.So avoid touching or any long form of body contact.
You seldom see public display of affection.On the other hand，you may note people of the same sex walking hand-in-hand，which is simply a gesture of friendship.Don't worry about a bit of pushing in stores or when groups board public buses or trains.Apologies are neither offered nor expected.
Beckoning Gestures
The open hand or the middle finger is used for pointing：To beckon (招手) someone，the palm (手掌) faces downward and the fingers are moved.Using the arm and hand up，with palm toward the face，is used only for calling dogs or children.
Other Gestures
Respect is always shown to elderly people，so it is common to stand up when a person，especially an elderly man enters the room.However，an elder may not give up a seat for a young boy.Men generally have priority (特权) in Korea：go through a door first，walk ahead of women，and women may help them with their coats.
5．The text is mainly about________.
A．politeness of Korea

课时作业(三)
Ⅰ.1.fasten 2.register 3.competence 4.sincerely
5．certificate 6.applicants 7.embarrass
8．amateur 9.regulation 10.punctual
Ⅱ.1.B 本题考查pay for的用法。pay for意为“为……付款”。其他选项搭配错误。
2．A 句意：当前公众的注意力集中在如何为下岗职工创造就业机会。stay focused on意为“集中于……”，符合句境。
3．B 考查动词辨析。这是一句祈使句，please后用动词原形。句意为：“女士们，先生们，请系好安全带，飞机马上就要起飞了。”fasten的意思是“束紧”，take的意思是“拿”，hold的意思是“握”，catch的意思是“抓”，B项最符合语境。
4．A 句意：他给我提供了一个再做一次实验的机会。offer sb.sth.相当于offer sth.to sb.，意为“给某人提供某物”；而provide用于provide sb.with sth.结构；lend借出；supply供应。
5．B 句意：记者问的问题有时候令人尴尬，它们使我很尴尬。第一空填embarrassing(令人尴尬的)，修饰questions；第二空填embarrassed(感到尴尬的)，形容人(me)。
6．A 句意：——你有足够用以支付日常费用的钱吗？——有，足够并且还有节余。cover(指钱)够(某事)用。spend花费；fill填充；offer主动提供。cover含义较多，“覆盖，包括，涉及，报道，走一段路，翻多少页书”等都是考查的重点。
7．B 从句子的意思分析，此处讨论的是对两种音乐的喜好，所以第一个空格用care for。care for意为“喜欢”；care about意为“关心，担心”。第二个空格为prefer something to something结构。故B项正确。
8．B 句意：如果一年使用信用卡至少六次的话，你就不必付年费了。provided that“如果，条件是”，引导条件状语从句。
9．D 从“这次没有准时回家”推测出“以前总是很准时的”。第一空白处要填入punctual，第二空白处要填入on time。adequate“适当的”；dedicated“专注的”；unconscious“无意识的”；in no time表示“立刻，马上”。
10．B 句意：——圣诞晚会怎么样？——我要说它很成功。第一空用the，特指双方都知道的“圣诞晚会”；success作可数名词讲时，意为“成功的人/事”。
Ⅲ.1.D 细节理解题。本文主要就如何使用身体语言提供了一些建议。根据第一段中的“depending on...are talking to”可知，在不同的场合要使用不同的身体语言。
2．B 推理判断题。根据第三段可以看出，作者认为“照着镜子练习身势语”是有帮助的。
3．A 词义猜测题。根据上下文语境，尤其是第一句中的“close your eyes”以及最后一句“Then try it out”可推知该词意为“想象”。
4．B 段落大意题。根据最后一段可以看出作者认为故意做出某种体态语有助于人们的心情等的改善，故选B项。
5．C 主旨大意题。从本文的各个小标题看出，本文主要是介绍韩国的一些身势语，故C项正确。
6．D 细节理解题。根据第一部分的第二句看出：他们通常以微微点头并握手表示问候。
7．C 细节理解题。从文章第一部分“Long direct eye contact is considered impolite”看出C项正确。
8．D 细节判断题。由文章第二部分最后两句话看出D项正确，其他三项均与文意不符。
Ⅳ.1.She may go with us provided/providing (that) she arrives in time. 2.You can take the book away as long as you return it before Friday. 3.They focused all their attention on finding a solution to the problem. 4.I prefer to work rather than sit there doing nothing. 5.They offered him the house for 8,000 dollars.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare's time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.
In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.
The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present day importance as a world language. Besides serving the infinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of the most important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is a widely used for such purposes as meteorological(气象学的)and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry，law and education as well as for international communication and entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.
1．What would be the BEST title for this passage?
A．The Difficulties of Learning English
B．The Standard Varieties of English
C．International Communications
D．English As A World Language
2．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.
B．Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.
C．There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.
D．People learn English for a variety of reasons.
3．What forms an adequate working knowledge of English?
A．Difficult to judge.
B．Being multilingual.
C．Being a native speaker.
D．The ability to read a newspaper.
4．What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English?
A．Countries where international conferences are held.
B．Those geographically close to the United States.
C．Those interested in the culture of the United States.
D．Former colonies of Great Britain.

Ⅰ.1.brochure 2.congratulate 3.razor 4.approval
5．relative 6.resembles 7.mates 8.unconscious 9.cream 10.explicit
Ⅱ.1.B 句意：这所特殊学校接收所有的残疾学生，不管其受教育水平和背景如何。according to根据；regardless of不管，不顾；in addition to除……之外(还)；in terms of从……的观点，从……的角度。根据题意故答案选B。
2．D 句意：这是首好歌，我想它很快会流行起来。由nice可知这里指“这首歌很快会流行起来”。catch on流行，符合语境。hold on坚持；go on继续；get on进展。
3．B 句意：振作起来！继续努力，你会成功的。keep up保持；keep away from远离；go on with继续，with后接名词或名词性短语；keep on继续。
4．A 句意：——我想知道你的服务收费多少。——前两次是免费的，但第三次收费30美元。根据题意，“前两次免费”和“第三次收费30美元”之间是前后对比关系。until表示“直到……时候”；when表示“当……时候”；before表示“在……之前”，均不合题意。
5．A 句意：“很抱歉，我不是故意把果汁洒在你衣服上的。”“没关系。”on purpose故意地，符合句意。by accident偶然地，意外地；after all毕竟；in general通常，一般而言。
6．B 句意：我想找个工资高的工作，但另一方面，我又喜欢目前我正在做的工作。on the other hand另一方面，符合句意。in other words意为“换句话说”；for one thing意为“首先”；as a matter of fact意为“事实上”。
7．C 考查动词词义辨析。句意：所有幸福的家庭彼此相似，但不幸的家庭各有各的不幸。此处resemble意为“相似”。
8．B approve of sb./sth.赞成，同意，故先排除D项。and连接并列成分，故排除C(Mary和my不同类，要改成Mary's and my)。最后，第一人称要放第三人称后。
9．B “由……组成”用consist of。若用make up，此处应用被动语态be made up of。
10．B 本题考查的是：the more...，the more...句型以及be equipped for sth.的用法。首先the more句型要以the more开头，故排除D。另外根据“the more＋(形容词/副词)＋主语＋谓语”的语序，可以排除A、C两项。故答案选B。
Ⅲ.1.C only a few意为“仅仅、只有几种”。虽然世界上有多种语言，但只有几种是非常重要的。
2．B important意为“重要的”，根据下文提到的英语被广泛使用，说明了这几种语言是重要的。
3．B as a foreign language(外语)与前句中的as their own language相对应。
4．C are trying to do so＝are trying to learn English意为“在尽力学习英语”。
5．D answer意为“答案”，指回答前面问题的答案。
6．C notice意为“注意到”，侧重“无意识的行为”，只有notice切合句意，指注意到这些广告。
7．C or give your money back意为“否则退款”。由give...back可以看出能退回的只有钱，其他三项放入文中语意不通。
8．B help sb.do sth.意为“帮助某人做某事”而make/let sb.do sth.意为“使/让某人做某事”；allow不符合该句句型。
9．A from the first day意为“从第一天起”。
10．D 由于是指学习英语语言，应该是先学习发音，而且从上句的records和tapes也可以得到暗示。
11．A happen意为“发生”，这里指上面广告中提到的“快速学好英语这样的事情是绝不会发生的”。
12．B remember意为“记得”。
13．B children与后面的a small child相对应，指小孩学说母语学说得快。
14．D think of意为“想一想”。
15．B think意为“思考”，think in it意为“用语言思考”。
16．D practice意为“练习”。这里说明了孩子学说母语学得好是进行上述大量练习的结果。
17．A 由下文学习英语需要大量练习和时间，需要付出努力可知应该选A项。
18．A 句意：掌握好英语要依靠大量的练习。depend upon“依靠……”。
19．B take意为“花费(时间)”。句意：而练习需要付出极大的努力和花费大量的时间。spend作花费讲时，主语多是人。
20．C 这里是说：好教师、录音磁带、书和词典将对学习英语有帮助，但这些都不能代替学生的学习。will表示将来的动作，C项最合适；D项must表示“必须”，太绝对； should表示“应该”；can表示“可能性”。此处不需要感彩，排除A项和B项。
Ⅳ.1.D 主旨大意题。需要根据文章的整体来回答，文章主要讲了作为世界语言的英语。
2．B 由文章第一段中的“Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language”可知B项不正确。
3．A 由文章第二段中的“it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation”可知，什么情况作为工作语言是足够的，很难下一个具体的定义。
4．D 在文章的最后一段说“It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries，especially former British colonies.”因此“过去的英国殖民地”更符合题意。
