Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
Only a few people in Toronto have the luck to live within walking distance from their workplace. For the rest of us, commuting(乘车上下班) is a rather unpleasant daily necessity.
So how do you avoid a traffic jam in Toronto? You can do it in the old way and listen to one of the radio stations that give regular updates about the traffic situation in Toronto's streets. Seeing the big picture of Toronto's traffic and knowing when and where heavy traffic occurs is a must. From my own experience, there are situations where a quick decision can help you make it in time for an event or a meeting. That's why we prepared three short videos showing the overall traffic situation in Toronto from dawn to night. You can click them and watch.
With the help of “Google Maps”， where you can watch the live traffic density all over the world and average traffic data based on past conditions, we were able to provide you with traffic maps for a typical(平常的) Friday.
Friday traffic in Toronto is quite fast in the early morning, with only a few hot spots showing up at the major junctions(交叉点) at 7：00 a．m. The morning traffic jam starts light at 7：30 and the traffic gradually slows down to reach a breaking point at 8：30. The roads are quite free afterwards, only Allen Road is likely to be jammed around lunchtime from 11：30 a．m. to 12：00 noon. It comes as no surprise that Friday afternoon brings heavy traffic as early as 1：00 p．m., mainly on the Don Valley Parkway. You won't have a good time getting away from the city from 4：00 p．m. to 6：30 p．m., as there is a good chance to get caught in a traffic jam. The traffic in Toronto is quite heavy on a Friday night. I hope you will have a nice Friday night in the city and a safe journey home this Friday!
36.By saying “commuting is a rather unpleasant daily necessity”， the writer refers to the fact that________.
A．buses are usually very crowded
B．they are often stuck in traffic jams
C．they have to travel a long way to work
D．they usually cannot do anything on the way to work
37．According to Paragraph 2, when you are in a traffic jam，you should________.
A．do nothing but to wait patiently
B．report your situation to a radio station
C．relax and enjoy some good radio programs
D．make a quick decision and find another way to go
38．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．What the traffic in Toronto is like for a typical Friday.
B．How to avoid heavy traffic on Friday.
C．Why the traffic is terrible on Friday.
D．What “Google Maps” can do for us.
39．In Toronto, on Friday you are most likely to suffer heavy traffic________.
A．from 6：30 a．m. to 7：00 a．m.
B．from 8：30 a．m. to 9：30 a．m.
C．from 10：30 a．m. to 11：00 a．m.
D．from4：00 p．m. to 6：30 p．m.

OTTAWA—Canada's western city of Calgary is the world's best city when it comes to healthy living，local press reported Monday.
According to an international survey by Mercer Human Resource Consulting, a London-based consulting firm, Calgary was top of a list of 144 cities. It scored 121 points, just above Honolulu's score of 120. Helsinki and Ottawa followed at 119.5 and 118.5 respectively.
Three other Canadian cities came in the top 20. Montreal and Vancouver tied for ninth and Toronto came in at 18th.

In America, the lowest scoring city was Atlanta, which was ranked 76th. Athens was the lowest scoring city in Western Europe, ranking 120th because of its air pollution. London was ranked 59th.

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games.Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
44．According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A．Those who often take exercise.
B．Those who often watch television.
C．Those who often have meals at home.
D．Those who often walk to school.
45．The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because________.
A．their parents often cook meals for them
B．they are too busy to go out and play
C．they can't choose what to eat
D．there are too many fast food shops around
46．The main purpose of the text is to________.
A．tell a story B．provide facts
C．give advice D．compare opinions
47．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．How many children get overweight.
B．Why children get overweight.
C．What is healthy eating.
D．How to prevent children from getting overweight.

(2013·湖北高考)Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley，well-equipped with pens，a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen....
At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now，I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books，or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don't live to make memories—I just live，and the memories form themselves.
52．Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________.
A．observing her school routine
B．expressing her satisfaction
C．impressing her classmates
D．preserving her history
53．What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?
A．A dull night on the journey.
B．The beauty of the great valley.
C．A striking quotation from a book.
D．Her concerns for future generations.
54．What does the author put in her diary now?
A．Notes and beautiful pictures.
B．Special thoughts and feelings.
C．Detailed accounts of daily activities.
D．Descriptions of unforgettable events.
55．The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is________.
A．to experience it
B．to live the present in the future
C．to make memories
D．to give accurate representations of it

(2013·望江中学高一下期中)Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry. Data speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.
“Mobile data is not a dream; it's not an option but a requirement，” said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.
With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday's news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.
Face-to-face video calls
Don't worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.
However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.
Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US government issued five licenses to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.
International telecom companies can't wait to sell 3G in China, the world's largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.
“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service，” said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile. “We expect that the 3G licenses will be seen late next year.”

11．A 句意：长子当医生是那个家族的传统。tradition传统；custom习俗；habit习惯；way方法。
12．A 句意：听到那消息后，她产生了一种既兴奋而又害怕的奇怪感觉。由excitement and fear可知，此处应为两种心情的交混状态。故A项正确。

27．B 从from behind来看，他是被人推向前的。sweep在此意思是“猛推”。
28．D push与sweep同义。
29．C 看不清的应是“站名”。signs应排除，毕竟他首次到英国，即使各个站有其独特的符号、标记，他也可能不知道。
30．B 站就是火车“停”靠的地方。
31．C 这里的stop与station同义。
32．A 觉得旅行如此轻松，心情当然是“高兴的”。
33．A 选项D应排除，因为他不是英国人，所以没听说过这个车站是明摆着的，故这一答案也是正确的，但与hear of相比，不能算是最佳答案。
34．C 这里的difficulty指他当时的一种迷茫。究竟是怎么一回事，他还不知道，所以谈不上什么错误，故选项B不能确定为答案。
35．B 听说Tom乘车的方向完全反了，那人的第一反应应当是觉得好笑，即答案应在A、B两项之间。joke不可能出现在脸上，故答案只能为B项。

49．B 词义理解题。根据下文such as extra TV time or staying up late！，可见，“incentives”表示的是一种奖励。

51．C 推理判断题。如果你能分享给5个朋友，让他们也签约并且保持活跃至少一个月，你就会得到价值25美元的亚马逊礼品卡。
【语篇解读】 这是一篇富有生活哲理的记叙文。作者小时候喜欢写日记，每天忙着把“现在”记录在本子上。但她13岁时的一次经历使她意识到，我们应该学会享受而不是记录“现在”，“活着不是为了记忆”。
52．D 细节理解题。第一段在讲述作者小时候记日记的经历之后说，“把记忆积累起来，这不就是在保存过去吗？”由此可知选D。
53．B 细节理解题。第二、三段描述作者13岁的那次经历，当时作者还是热衷于为了将来的回忆而记录“现在”，但晚上她看到山谷的美丽时突然明白，“我写的任何东西都比不上此时让自己好好体验山谷的美丽”，从此作者的态度发生了转变。
54．B 细节理解题。第四段说，作者现在只把自己特殊的想法或情感写在日记中，即B项所陈述的，而不是“笔记和美丽的图画”“日常活动的详细记载”“对难忘的事情的描述”。
55．A 推理判断题。最后一段作者说，“也许我会忘了一些事实，但至少，这些经历将一直在我的脑海里”。这就是主人公对生活的感悟：把握现在，感受今天；生活，重在感受而不是为了回忆而记忆。
56．Advantages 57.quicker 58.music 59.updated 60.easier
61．map 62.communication 63.testing 64.trial 65.late
【参考范文】
New Zealand has good weather in all seasons. December, January and February are her summer months and June，July and August are her winter months. In New Zealand, however, it is not very hot in summer and not very cold in winter. The highest temperature is only a little above 25℃ in Auckland，which is the “hottest” in summer in the country. The lowest temperature in New Zealand's winter does not reach zero centigrade，which measures above 5℃. From summer to winter, the greatest change in temperature is in Queenstown. Because of its good weather, New Zealand is a wonderful place for a visit.

The Canadian red and white maple leaf(枫叶) flag is officially called the National Flag of Canada. The Canadian flag shows a stylized red maple leaf with 11 points on a white background, with red borders down each side. The Canadian flag is twice as long as it is wide. The white square containing the red maple leaf is the same width as the flag.
The red and the white used in the National Flag of Canada were proclaimed the official colors of Canada in 1921 by King George Ⅴ. Although the maple leaf did not have its official status as a symbol of Canada until the announcement of the national flag in 1965, it had historically been used as a Canadian symbol，and was used in 1860 in decorations for the visit of the Prince of Wales to Canada. The 11 points on the maple leaf have no special significance.
In the early days，the Royal Union Flag，or the Union Jack, was still flown in British North America. In 1925 and again in 1946, the Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King tried to get a national flag of Canada adopted, but failed. In 1964，Prime Minister Lester Pearson appointed a 15-member, all-party committee to come up with a design for a new flag. The committee was given six weeks to complete its task.
The committee studied 2,000 submitted(提交的) designs as well as 3,900 that had been gathered as a result of the 1946 committee's study. Those designs with a chance of being accepted were given to the full committee for further study.
The suggestion of a red and white single maple leaf design for the Canadian flag came from George Stanley, a professor at the Royal Military College. After a heated discussion，they finally decided on his suggestion.
1．How many colors are there in the National Flag of Canada?
A．One B．Two
C．Three D．Four
2．When did Canada have its own national flag?
A．In 1921. B．In 1860.
C．In 1964. D．In 1965.
3．What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．The officials of the government.
B．The professors from the Royal Millitary College.
C．The members of the 1946 committee.
D．The members of the 1964 committee.
4．The passage is mainly about________.
A．the designer of the National Flag of Canada
B．the history of the National Flag of Canada
C．the meaning of the National Flag of Canada
D．why the red and white single maple leaf was chosen as the design for the National Flag of Canada

(2013·辽宁高考)China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them，all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，I've found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However，people still use their bicycles to get around.For many，it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors－silver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want.
It's fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks (人行道)．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的)．To be safe，I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
5．According to the author，why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A．Because they are traditional and safe.
B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C．Because they are colorful and available.
D．Because they are fast and environment friendly.
6．The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ________.
A．to ride it for fun
B．to use it for transport
C．to experience local culture
D．to improve his riding skills
7．How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A．It was boring. B．It was difficult.
C．It was lively. D．It was wonderful.
8．Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?
A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C．The author was praised by the other bikers.
D．The author took great pleasure in biking.

5．schoolmates 6.approximately 7.mixture 8.pleased
9．impressed 10.wealthy
Ⅱ.1.C be impressed(by/with)“被深深打动/感动或留下深刻印象”。此处指罗伯特的厨艺给我留下深刻的印象，故C项符合题意。be admired“被钦佩”；be interested in“对……感兴趣”；be inspired“被激励”；均不符合句意。
2．A 句意：从这个小女孩惊恐的表情可知，她害怕这个陌生人。两个空格都表示女孩的感受，故选A项。
3．D 句意：古时候，人们很少出远门，大多数农民去的地方仅远至当地市场。as far as“远至”，符合语境。longer than“比……长”；more than“多于”；as much as“和……一样多”。
4．D 句意：——我对我的厨艺非常满意。我做的菜看起来漂亮，吃起来好吃。——嗯，口味确实不错。be pleased with对……感到满意；pleasant adj.令人高兴或愉快的。
5．A mix混合，配制；combine结合；unite联合；join加入，参加。此处指各种物质的混合，用mix最合适，故选A。
6．A 句意：从观察和实验中所得的证据通常用于证实科学理论。confirm证实，确实；concern担心，关于；consult咨询，请教；combine联合，结合。
7．D 答句句意：再走五英里，直到我们到达远处的那座山。in the distance在远处；B、C两项结构不存在；at a distance离一段距离，从远处。

9．B 句意：飞机大约在20分钟后着陆。equally相等地；regularly定期地，有规律地；commonly普及地，通常地。只有B项符合句意。
10．B broad可用来修饰肩、背；wide在此为副词，指具体的距离，意为“宽阔地”。
Ⅲ.1.B 事实细节题。第一段及第二段首句都提到了加拿大国旗有两种颜色：红色和白色。
2．D 事实细节题。由第二段“...the announcement of the national flag in 1965...”可知。
3．D 猜测词义题。由第三段知，1964年成立了一个15人组成的专门委员会来设计国旗，此处做出最后决定的当然是指1964年的委员会成员。
4．B 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了加拿大国旗的历史。A项只是文中的细节，本文不是记人文章；C项也是细节，只在第二段有所涉及；D项文中没有提及。
【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文。中国在过去是自行车的王国，而现在仍然有很多人喜欢骑自行车出行，因为这种交通方式方便、省钱。为了融入这种文化，“我”也买了一辆自行车。但是在回家途中，发现骑车过街是最大的问题，需要时间、技巧和一点儿运气。但是骑行经历让“我”觉得很愉快、很有趣。
5．B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For many，it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.”可知，自行车如今仍然很受欢迎，是因为它的便捷和经济。根据倒数第二段和倒数第三段的叙述可知，骑自行车并不安全，速度也不是很快，故A项和D项错误；文章虽然提到了自行车的颜色多种多样，但这并不是它受欢迎的原因，故C项错误。
6．C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话“Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture...”可知，作者购买自行车是因为迫切地想融入中国的这种文化之中，故C项正确。作者在有了骑行经历之后才发现了其中的乐趣，故A项错误；文章并未提到作者购买自行车是为了作为交通工具或者提高骑行技术，故排除B项和D项。
7．B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的叙述可知，骑车过街是最大的问题，需要时间、技巧和运气，因此作者认为骑车过街非常困难。其余选项均与本段内容不符。
8．D 推理判断题。由最后一段可知，空气吹拂脸颊和头发的感觉很美妙，骑行时就像坐在了世界的顶端，骑自行车使作者觉得充满了活力。由此可判断出，作者觉得骑自行车很有乐趣，故D项正确。A项意为“作者喜欢炫耀自己的骑行技术”；B项意为“作者很讨厌骑行时的空气”；C项意为“作者被其他骑行人员赞扬了”，均与文章内容不符。
Ⅳ.1.I don't like to mix business with pleasure.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew that at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes, waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia(马来西亚). I was moved.
I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or by car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly(特别地) relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.
From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3：00 p．m. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug(拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten(饱经风霜的) face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey.
1．The author expected the train trip to be________.
A．dangerous B．pleasant
C．exciting D．dull
2．What did the author remember most fondly of her train trip?
A．The friendly country people.
B．The mountains along the way.
C．The crowds of people in the streets.
D．The simple lunch served on the train.
3．Which of the following words can BEST take the place of the word “relish” in the second paragraph?
A．choose B．enjoy
C．prepare for D．carry on
4．Where was the writer going?
A．Johore Baru. B．The Causeway.
C．Butterworth. D．Singapore.

课时作业(九)
Ⅰ.1.chat 2.measures 3.borders 4.surrounded 5.baggage 6.scenery 7.aboard 8.within 9.continent 10.westward
Ⅱ.1.B rather than连接平行结构，由句子中的waiting for...可知rather than后应用buying。
2．B succeed意为“成功”，不接动词不定式，常用词组succeed in doing sth.；try to do sth.表示“努力做某事”，但不一定成功；manage to do sth.表示“设法做到某事”；think不接to do sth.作宾语。由句中but they didn't make it可知此事没有成功，因此答案为tried。
3．A 词组have a gift for的含义是“在……有天赋”。present作“礼物”讲与gift是同义词，但它没有“天赋”的含义。
4．D chat with sb.的含义是“和某人聊天”。see是及物动词，不与介词with搭配；say常与to连用，构成词组say to sb.；share可与with sb.连用，但常用于share sth. with sb.。
5．C within easy reach“很容易拿到”。句意：在厨房里把你经常使用的东西放在很容易拿到的地方会节省很多时间。
6．A 句意：——我听说到上海的火车半路上脱轨了。——杰克很幸运没有乘坐那趟车。aboard“在(船、飞机、火车、公共汽车)上”，get aboard“登上；上车”，符合题意。abroad“在国外”；get off“下车”；get up“起床”。
7．A 句意：外边太吵了，他静不下心来读书。settle down to“定下心来做”；put down“记下，放下”；sit down“坐下”。
8．B devote one's time to doing为固定结构，此处用过去分词形式作状语，因主语和主句的主语不一致，故在前面使用其逻辑主语all her time构成独立主格结构。
9．C 句意：——你穿这件夹克很漂亮。什么时候买的呀？——我昨天碰巧在一家时装店看到的。catch sight of看见；watch out for密切注意；pay attention to关注；get away with偷走。
10．A 句意：医生建议病人逐步对自己的饮食作轻微调整，因为突然的改变可能会导致不适和健康问题。slight轻微的。
11．A 考查冠词。句意：人们认为在俄罗斯举行像中国年这样的大事件一定会加强两国的关系。第一空用a表示某一，第二空因为有后置定语between the two countries因此用the。
12．D 句意：看起来非常辉煌的国家体育馆面积为258 000平方米。measure在此处为不及物动词，指尺寸、长短、数量等。用作此含义时，不能用于进行时，也不能用于被动语态。
13．C 句意：由于被厚厚的竹林包围，这座古城直到20世纪90年代才被发现。surround与the ancient city之间为被动关系，故此处用过去分词短语surrounded...作原因状语。
14．B 问句句意：为什么我们不利用我们的自然资源和景色来发展旅游业呢？scenery指某一特定区域的整体自然风景，符合题意，故选B。
15．A 句意：这些士兵整年都在保卫中国北疆国门。border国界，国门；harbour港口；globe地球；scenery景色。
Ⅲ.1.D 第一句话后面为句号，因此本句不可能是定语从句，从而排除A、B项。又The United States相对应的形容词性物主代词为its而不是their，从而排除C项(Their)。
2．C 由上文的to the north可以推出墨西哥在美国南部也应该用to。
3．B 本句讲的是通常情况，应用一般现在时，另主语虽以s结尾，但表示单数概念，故谓语应用单数。
4．D 由后面的数字可推知，主语指的是“人口”，并非指“人们”“面积”和“尺寸”。
5．A 上文提到美国的地理位置，此处land强调疆域。state侧重一个国家的政权；continent“大洲”；world“世界”。
6．D 由横线后的its independence from England可以推知，应该是从英国的控制中赢得独立，即答案为winning。
7．C one侧重数量的“一个”；some的意思是“一些，某些”；each的意思是“每一个”，可以和of连用，而every为形容词，不能单独使用。从上文看，句意为“在美国，国旗上每个州都由一颗星代表”，据此可排除A、B和D项。
8．A 根据“As the nation...on the flag”一句可以推知，国旗上每颗星代表一个州。star“星”；moon“月亮”；satellite“卫星”；planet“行星”。
9．A 句子的主语为all the states，因此可把表示单数的was和is排除。再根据本段讲述的是美国的历史，因此时态为过去的时态，从而确定答案为were。
10．D 上文提到最早的州都在东部，可以推出：国家逐渐地向西部发展，与the eastern part形成比较。
11．B 根据上下文可以推出：每当有新的州加入，国旗上都要增添新的星。disappear“消失”；appear“出现”；paint“粉刷，画画”；print“印刷”。
12．C more除了译成“更多”之外，还有“又、另外的”之意，此时多置于数字的后面。此处表示“另外的两颗星”，与前面的48 stars形成比较。
13．C of可以表示其前后的词或词组是同位关系，如：the city of Beijing(北京市)，因此答案为C项。
14．B 下文提到大多数美国人都是世界其他地方移民的后裔，因此可以推知只有印第安人才是唯一真正的美国人。
15．A 通过分析句子结构可知空格后为定语从句，修饰people，这里缺少一个关系代词，且该词在从句中充当主语，故用who。
16．A in numbers意为“大批地”，在结构上与first并列。
17．C 由下文提到的美国的语言为什么是英语及它的文化习俗更有可能是英国的文化习俗等，可以知道Europe不对，因为欧洲不仅有英语，还有法语、德语等。
18．A 下文提到的“美国的语言和文化习俗与英国非常相似”的原因正是上文提到的“首次大批移居美国东海岸的人大多来自英国”。因此该空用reason，构成for that reason(因为那个原因)。本句意思是“正是因为那个原因，美国的语言是英语，美国的文化习俗更像英国的文化习俗”。
19．B 根据句子中的more like可推知答案应为than。
20．A 使用比较级时，在比较状语中应注意将自身排除在外；else在意义上相当于other，但else只能修饰不定式、代词和疑问代词。
Ⅳ.1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段，作者是第一次坐长途火车，带了很多杂志看，可以看出作者一开始认为坐火车是dull(乏味的)。
2．A 细节理解题。根据第一段，马来西亚人很热情，总会微笑着在站台上对火车里的陌生人挥手，欢迎乘客来到马来西亚。作者很感动。
3．B 词义猜测题。作者开始并不喜欢火车之旅。
4．C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth可知火车在Butterworth停下来。
Ⅴ.1.We will have the meeting in the classroom rather than in the great hall. 2.Our classroom measures seven meters across/wide. 3.To some，happiness is being surrounded by family and friends. 4.He lay on his back，his hands crossed under his head. 5.He managed to get the work done without any help.
