A
Just after World War ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Ⅱ the IOC decided that the Olympic Games would bring nations together again. As London had been selected to host the cancelled 1944 Games, the IOC decided to offer the 1948 Games to London. London accepted the offer and set about preparing the venues (场地) and all the other things that hosting the Olympic Games needed.
With less than two ye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ars to get the Games ready, it was a great achievement in itself that the Games were ready on time. The budget that was assigned to host the Games was ￡600 000, quite a small sum in comparison to the Games of today that cost billions of pounds.
In 1948, large part ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s of London lay in ruins. Food and building materials were in short supply. It was decided that the Games would be held with no new venues or athlete villages being built.2·1·c·n·j·y
The participating ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) nations united to make the Games a success. Athletes were housed in barracks (兵营). School dormitories and even private houses were used to accommodate the athletes from visiting nations.
At mealtimes, athlet ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es were given increased rations, the same as those received by British workers in the essential industries, like mineworkers, which meant 5 467 calories a day, instead of the normal 2 600 calories a day.
The spectator ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s (观众) who came to the Games had to bring their own food, as there were no facilities to provide catering at any of the sites. Even getting to the venues was a problem. The famous London Red Buses were used, and military vehicles, many of which were driven by women volunteers, were also used to transport spectators and athletes to the venues.21·世纪*教育网
Despite these p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )roblems, the Games' opening ceremony was held on 29th July, 1948, at Wembley Stadium. During the opening ceremony a message was shown on the giant scoreboard. It read: “The important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.”www.21-cn-jy.com

B
When I was 12, al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l I wanted was a signet (图章) ring. They were the “in” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday，my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials (姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.
What made it even m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ore special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being “replaced”. We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything — so most of the “new” stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.
Then, only one mon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed, a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. “You'll recognize this one，” she said, smiling.
Then she hande ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet right inside.
The family who had bo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ught our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.
And it still fits me.
语篇解读　本文为记叙文，题材为人物故事。作者讲述了自己13岁的生日礼物，一枚图章戒指，15年后失而复得的故事。
5．The underlined word ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) “in” in the first paragraph probably means “________”．
A. fashionable B. available
C. practical D. renewable
答案与解析　A　词义猜测题。根据下文“i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t seemed every girl except me had one”(除了我以外，似乎每个女孩子都拥有一枚)可推断出，图章戒指在当时是非常时髦的(fashionable)东西。available“可获得的”； practical“实用的”； renewable“可更新的”。
6．When she got the ring back, the writer was about
________.
A. 13 years old B. 15 years old
C. 26 years old D. 28 years old
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )根据第一段可知作者是在13岁生日时得到的戒指；根据第三段最后一句可知，两年后作者一家卖掉了房子，当时她应该是15岁；再根据倒数第二段第一句可知，13年前买房的那家人因为装修而发现了这枚戒指。根据以上细节计算，作者重获戒指时应该是28岁。

Greet the Day: How to Become an Early Riser
Waking up early ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is really just a habit. You don't need any skill to do it. __11__ Here are some tips I've picked up along the way of developing the habit of getting up early.

Start small and work y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )our way to an earlier wake up time. __12__ Get used to your slightly earlier time for a few days so as not to shock your body. Then set your alarm back 15 more minutes. Keep doing this until you reach the new wake up time you want.
__13__
Avoid bright ligh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts before bed. Bright lights can reduce the production of the chemical melatonin (褪黑激素), which is responsible for causing sleepiness. The less melatonin there is in the body, the more probably the body thinks that it's time to be awake. __14__ This will prevent you from getting a good night's sleep.
When you wake up, get out of bed immediately!
When your alarm goes o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ff, you should get out of bed and get as much natural light as possible. __15__ When your body is exposed to light, melatonin production goes down. When this happens, you will be more ready to start the day. Getting out of bed right away can also give you less motivation to go back to sleep.
A. Get enough sleep.
B. Avoid coffee or alcohol as well.
C. Create a relaxing environment for sleep.
D. Try some warm milk or have a hot bath to help yourself to sleep.
E. When your body want ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s to sleep, it produces melatonin to help that process.21·cn·jy·com
F. You just need to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wake up consistently to condition your body to the routine.
G. Don't wake up more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )than 15 to 30 minutes earlier than your usual wake up time.21教育名师原创作品

单元测评(一)　Unit 1　A land of diversity
(时间：90分钟　满分：110分)
第一部分　阅读理解(共两节；满分30分)
第一节　(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
California's complex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and dynamic transportation system is in part both the cause and the result of the restless mobility of Californians, who tend to move and travel frequently. There is one of the greatest concentrations of motor vehicles in the world and the most extensive system of multilane freeways in California. However, freeway construction has declined since the 1970s because of public opposition.
Light rail transit sy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stems were largely discontinued in California cities after World War Ⅱ. However, because of increasing traffic congestion (拥塞), many have been reintroduced or newly constructed. The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system in and around San Francisco was constructed in the early 1970s and expanded in the following decades in response to growth in remote areas. A San Diego trolley (无轨电车) system, first built in the late 1970s as a link to the Mexican border, was extended in the late 1980s. Work on a subway system in Los Angeles began in the early 1980s. By 2003 a network of light rail lines ran through the city. Now there are rail links between downtown Los Angeles and many remote areas, including major tourist sites, airports and beaches. With an ever growing population, more attention was paid to the development of mass transit systems, such as the light rail and the subway, in California in the early 21st century.
The transport of good ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s in California is carried out mainly by trucks, but the canals and waterways are also used to transport goods. Shipping across the Pacific basin is centered at the Long Beach, Los Angeles ports, whose cargo (货运量) is several times greater than that handled by the Oakland, San Francisco, and Richmond ports in northern California. Long Beach is one of the world's most important cargo ports.
Air transport ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in California has increased greatly. The air lines connecting San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego create greater traffic than those linking Washington, D．C., New York City, and Boston on the East Coast. Air traffic congestion has become critical, but not so serious as that of the ground traffic near major California airports.　　21*cnjy*com

Visiting the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Statue of Liberty National Monument (纪念馆) and Ellis Island can be a rich and worthwhile experience for anyone interested in US history in general.
General Facts
Opened on January 1 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), 1892, Ellis Island became the nation's most important federal immigration station, and was in operation until 1954. 12 million immigrants, travelling by steamship, came to the station to enter the United States. The main building was rebuilt after 30 years of being no longer used, and opened as a museum on September 10, 1990.

C
I remember a day wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en I was a little kid. I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the date on one of the wine bottles.
“Dad, dad！” I cried. “This wine is too old to drink.”
“Son, hold on，” he said.
“No, you can't drink ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) this tonight! This bottle of wine was made 10 years ago.”
“Wait, let me tell you ...”
“Would you like me to throw it away for you？” I asked.
“Son, wait a second，” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he said. “Son, some wines get better over time. The longer you wait to drink it, the better it will be. Although this may seem strange, it is true.”
When I was young, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I didn't have any understanding of what this meant, but now, this would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenage years.
In our society, we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )forget this simple rule: The longer you want for certain things, the better they will be. But we want the best job as quickly as possible; we want to graduate from college in as few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends. When we do this, we lose something of great importance.
We all want to get t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the next step so quickly that perhaps we don't get ready enough to get there. This has a negative effect on our society. When trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our classwork, we may not study enough for the test, and end up failing. We need to be ready for whatever comes, ready for the unexpected. Wine gets better over time, so do the things in our paths of life.
语篇解读　本文是夹叙夹议文。一瓶好 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )酒需要多年的窖藏，作者在多年后终于明白了其中蕴含的哲理。人生也是一样，过于急功近利往往达不到所要的结果，有所准备并经过慢慢积淀后成功往往会不期而至。
8．Why did the author tell his father not to drink the bottle of wine
A. Because it smelt terrible.
B. Because it was mixed with something else.
C. Because his father drank too much that night.
D. Because it had been kept for years.
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。由文中“我”和父亲的对话可知这瓶酒已酿造十年，酒是陈的香，故本题选D项。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
9．What the author's father said ________.
A. made the author puzzled when he was a little child21·世纪*教育网
B. was too simple a rule to be meaningful to the author
C. threw the author into deep thought then
D. was an excuse to drink the wine
答案与解析　A　细节理解题。由“我”与父亲的对话及倒数第三段可知，小时候的“我”并不理解父亲所说的话。
10．In the author's ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) opinion, if we do things too quickly, we will ________.
A. do it better
B. save much time
C. graduate from college more quickly
D. miss something useful to us in life
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。由倒数第二段最后一句可知，如果我们做事太急于求成，我们会错过人生中一些重要的东西。

语篇解读　Beth在机场 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )候机时，看到一位老先生头发凌乱，神情沮丧，她走到老先生面前为他梳理头发。这一举动深深地感动了老先生。同时，老先生与妻子的故事也同样感动了Beth。爱，会让一个人的内心获得满足和幸福。21世纪教育网版权所有
16．C　由上文可知，Beth在机场候机，所以这里应该是指她拿出杂志读(reading)来打发时间。21·cn·jy·com
17．A　由全文语境可知，这位老先生刚出院，身体虚弱，所以他坐着轮椅，由一名空姐推着(pushing)。21教育名师原创作品
18．D　由下文Beth为这位老先 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )生梳头，及倒数第四段how terrible my hair looked可知，这位老先生头发很乱(mess)。21*cnjy*com
19．C　由上文Beth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )对这位老先生的第一印象ugly及本句中的wrinkled可推测，Beth觉得老先生看起来一点也不(not ... at all)友善。
20．A　“Beth被老先生吸引了”与之前老先生给她的印象构成转折关系，故选but。
21．B　根据上文Beth didn't know why可知，毫无缘由地(For no reason)，她想给老先生梳头。
22．D　Beth主动走上前要帮助 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )老先生梳头，故May I have the honor of doing ...(我能有幸……)结构符合此处语境。
23．B　从下文Beth更大声地问同一个问题可以推知，Beth以为老先生听力(hearing)有问题。
24．D　根据Again可以推知，Beth重复了(repeated)前面的问题。
25．C　突然有人主动提出要为自己梳头，老先生自然很困惑(confused)。
26．A　Beth为老先生梳头梳了很长时间，此处用worked表示梳头这一“工作”。
27．B　由上文for a lo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng time可推测，Beth已经为老先生梳头梳了很长时间，所以这里指就在她要梳完的时候，老先生哭了起来。故finish up(结束；完成)符合语境。
28．D　由全文不难得知，Beth对这位老先生很好，故此处温柔地(softly)看着老先生的眼睛，符合全文语境。
29．C　由老先生坐着轮椅，且在医院里待了将近两个月的事实可推测，他做了一个特殊的手术(operation)。
30．A　本空后引号里的内容是老先生接着上文所说的话，故added(继续说)符合语境。
31．D　由上半句老先生说自己担心头发看起来很糟糕可知，他不想让妻子看到自己看起来(looking)头发乱糟糟的。
32．B　当老先生谢谢(thanked) Beth为他梳头时，他泪流满面。
33．C　见下一题解析。
34．A　听完老先生的话，Beth感动得哭了(cried)，那位空姐也(also)哭了起来。
35．A　根据下文Beth的回答可知，空姐问Beth她为什么(Why)那么做。

40．what　what引导宾语从句且在从句作定语修饰climate areas。
41．before　before“在……之前”，引导时间状语从句。
42．Exactly　所给词在句中作状语修饰形容词right，应用副词形式Exactly“的确”。

内容要点如下：
1. 方便交流，分享心情，释放压力；
2. 泄漏隐私，浪费时间；
3. 个人观点或建议。
范文　
Micro blog has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )become more and more popular in China and part of our life. It is very convenient for people to express their feeling instantly at any time. Besides, it provides a chance for people to release their inner stress. By showing their heart felt emotions on the micro blog, their friends may also know about their condition and can offer timely response. However, micro blog can also be potentially dangerous as it may give away people's privacy and other significant information. And sometimes it is a total waste of time. In my opinion, micro blog provides us with some concerns as well as emotional comfort and large quantities of information, so we should be careful while using it.【出处：21教育名师】

When I was in fir ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st grade I read Go Dog Go by myself. One weekend morning while my parents were still asleep, I got up and read the whole book.

Finally, I got a j ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ob in a bookstore and started buying books at a 30% discount (折扣).

I have a home office with twelve book shelves and two large book cases. My office was filled with books. Every shelf was filled with books and the built in desk that was completely covered by books that ran across the whole surface of the desk. I even had books lying on the floor.21*cnjy*com
There was one big ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) problem with this. My wife wanted to use the built in desk and she repeatedly asked me to create space for her. I finally decided to clear out some of the books. In fact, I removed about half the books I owned. Not only was the desk completely clear, some book shelves were only half full. To my surprise, I felt a new sense of peace and freedom.

It was not the school that forced me into this awkward situation; it was my mother.www-2-1-cnjy-com
I was a 16 year ol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d kid in a new school. My school did not offer summer courses so I had to take my course at an alternative school in the city. It was an experience I will never forget. I was not concerned with making friends. I was there to get credit (学分) for a course that I should have received credit for the previous semester. It was my doing that landed me in the situation and it was important that I understood this.
The fees were low ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )est but the experience was amazing. I enjoyed. I didn't miss the day. The course was from Monday to Friday for an entire month. I passed the course with an A. I was thrown into an awkward situation and actually enjoyed it. My friends didn't even know I took the course. Most of them were still sleeping by the time my course ended each day.
Awkward situations ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are so important for personal growth. This situation made me feel more independent. I made friends. I finally understood what sacrifice and hard work were all about. While attending college, I remembered how much I enjoyed summer school and I chose to take summer school in my first three years of college. Some kids get pushed too much but some don't get pushed enough. I was never pushed enough.
Enable your chil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dren to struggle for success. If your child needs summer school you explain to them why it's important. Some parents are surprised by the situation and may want to be more involved in their children's education. Follow through and follow up.21·世纪*教育网

Noah's Ark (诺亚方 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )舟) has set sail again. Crossing stormy scientific waters, today's ark is not carrying animals two by two to safety. Rather, it could produce unlimited numbers of presently endangered animals.
Noah is the nam ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e given in advance to the clone of a dead gaur, a rare type of endangered wild ox found in India, Bangladesh and Southeast Asia. The new Noah is expected to be born any day now to Bessie, a cow living on a farm in Iowa Cows have given birth to gaurs before, but Advanced Cell Technologies (ACT), a small biotechnology company in Massachusetts, is using a cross species technique to clone a different species.
Bessie's ultrasou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd (超声) tests look good, but is the concept a sound one Robert Lanza, ACT's vice president of medical and scientific development, says that the technique “presents exciting possibilities” that may help rescue endangered species and perhaps even avoid extinctions. Other scientists argue that such approaches are unlikely to make a significant contribution to the support of the endangered species, especially if their habitats have been destroyed.
If Bessie's little g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aur is delivered safely, the birth will come as an encouragement to many biologists in the US and Europe who are involved. In particular, though, Noah's arrival will give courage to the scientists at ACT, who recently signed a deal with Spanish officials to attempt to clone the bucardo, an extinct mountain goat native to the Pyrenees Mountains. The last bucardo died a year ago. Scientists had already kept a quantity of its cells, and ACT hopes to transfer them into other goats' eggs some time soon.

范文　
The birth of Dolly the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) sheep makes it possible to clone human beings, which has brought the world hope and fear as well as praise and criticism.
On the one hand, th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e practice of medical cloning can provide genetically identical cells, tissues and organs for transplantation. Such cells would not bring about an immune rejection. Also trying to find suitable donors is difficult and can take a long time. Besides, reproductive cloning will involve making cloned humans for couples who are unable to have children of their own.
Despite the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )above advantages, human cloning challenges the socio ethical nature, particularly concerning the role that cloning might play in changing the family relations. The practice also threatens the fundamental concept of guaranteeing human dignity and religious beliefs.
As far as I am conc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erned, I oppose all forms of human cloning for any purpose. Humans, however powerful, should obey the law of nature.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
There are many idiom ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s in English. An idiom is a phrase that we can't understand from the meaning of each word. The following are some of them.21·世纪*教育网
As the crow flies
When a bird flie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s from place to place, it takes the most direct route. But when people drive, they have to follow roads and often go farther. When people give a distance “as the crow flies”， they mean the shortest distance between the two points, not the distance you would have to travel by following roads.
As Dan and his ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) mom drove along the river, they could see the beach on the opposite side. Dan asked, “How far is it to the beach？”
“It's only about a q ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uarter of a mile as the crow flies，” his mother said.
Blow hot and cold
In one of Aesop's Fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bles, a man blows on his fingers to warm them up and then blows on his soup to cool it down. In both cases, the man is opening his mouth, but what comes out is very different. If a person says one thing and later says the opposite, we say that the person is blowing hot and cold.
“Is Felicia going to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) try out for the soccer team this year？” Stacy asked.
“I don't know，” T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ricia replied. “Last week she was saying yes, but this week she's saying no. She's really blowing hot and cold.”
Break the ice
Nowadays peop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le use the phrase to refer to ending an awkward silence by beginning a conversation.
It was the first ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) day of summer camp. The four girls began to make their beds in silence. None of the girls knew each other, and no one knew what to say. Finally, one of them broke the ice by saying, “Hey, where's everybody from？”
Bury the hatchet
In Native American cul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ture, when two nations agreed to end their war, they buried the hatchet. So to bury the hatchet is to make peace with someone else.
Colin could not e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )xcuse his sister for breaking his tennis racket. Finally, his sister said, “Colin, can't we bury the hatchet？”
语篇解读　本文是说明文。文章介绍了几个有趣的英语习语。
1．What does “as the crow flies” mean
A. In the smoothest way.
B. By plane.
C. In a straight line.

答案与解析　C　细节理解题。由As ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the crow flies中的“When a bird flies from place to place, it takes the most direct route”和“they mean the shortest distance between the two points”可知， as the crow flies指“直线距离”。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
2．“Blow hot and cold” can be used to talk about someone's ________.
A. poor health B. bad manners
C. communication skills D. changing attitudes

Where would ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you like to live A house in the country A comfortable and expensive apartment in a city centre How about a cave In fact, people are still living in caves. And what's more, lots of people are buying caves and rebuilding them as holiday homes!
One area where ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )people live in caves is Cappadocia, in Central Eastern Turkey. There are thought to be over 200 cave villages. Some of the cave houses date back to before Roman times. Historians think that the local people may have started living in caves in order to hide from the Roman army.
The small town of Uc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hisar, for example, has many cave houses. They were abandoned for many years but local builders are now rebuilding them.
Caves are popular i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n other parts of the world too. In fact, there are people living in caves in China, America, England, Iran, Australia and Spain. So, what's the big attraction Firstly, they're cheaper to build than ordinary homes since the walls and the ceiling are already there. On top of that, they're well insulated (隔热性能好的). For example, in Cappadocia, cave houses are cooler than normal houses in summer but warmer in winter. This means they're more comfortable to live in and do less harm to the environment as you don't need to use so much energy for heating or air conditioning. In fact, many environmental groups are encouraging people to build cave houses.
What's more, cave ho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uses are often impressive, especially the way the house forms part of the natural landscape. They're also unique, each one being different. And this is one reason why cave houses are becoming increasingly popular with tourists. They often want to rent them for holidays and are prepared to pay a lot of money to do so. Uchisar even has cave hotels which offer luxury (豪华的) rooms with all the fun of staying in a cave.

A. flee from the war
B. set up holiday homes
C. fight against their enemies

5．What do we know about Uchisar
A. The environmentalists advise rebuilding its cave houses.
B. Its luxury cave hotels are a big attraction for tourists.
C. There were about 200 cave houses in Roman times.
D. Its cave houses look almost the same.

In the winter months ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the temperature in most of Canada usually stays below 0℃. However, in some parts of Canada, such as southern British Columbia, the temperature rarely goes below 0℃. In most areas where people live, snow will be on the ground from mid December to mid March.

It's not that hard ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to be a better writer. Seriously, it's especially true if you're starting as a non writer who's just trying to be competent for day to day tasks.
Have a structure. __11__ Your body should consist of paragraphs that are grouped according to topic, each one dealing with a single element of your subject.
__12__ When you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )say a car runs “fast”， don't leave it at that. Show me how fast it is by detailing the vehicle's top speed and acceleration, along with listing other cars it leaves in the dust. Do the same with every other significant modifier (修饰语) you use.
Don't pad wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rds. __13__ Most of the time, this ends up turning what's essentially nice writing into unreadable nonsense. You'll see this with heavy use of unnecessary adjectives and adverbs, along with useless phrases that can easily be cut off without losing meaning.
Choose good words. Som ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )etimes, the way your text reads comes down to word choice. Don't say “converse” when you can say “speak”； don't write “adjudicate” when you can say “decide”. __14__
Use a writing softwa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re. Notice that we didn't give any advice on grammar. That's because using a quality proofreading software can help you on that end. __15__21*cnjy*com
A. Try not to us ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e adjectives and adverbs without providing an explanation.
B. Don't let anything keep you from it!
C. Many inexperien ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ced writers tend to pad words to meet word count goals.
D. Regardless of wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at you do, your writing should have an introduction and a conclusion.
E. Basically, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )put your words to good use and find words that will make the experience easier for your readers.
F. Some ideas can be quite correct.
G. Sure, a few mist ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )akes might slip in now and then, but a good tool will take care of most of them.

第一部分　阅读理解(共两节；满分30分)
第一节　(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
When I was growing up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in the 1930s, the period of the Great Depression, I didn't think of our family as poor, even though we never seemed to have money. I lived on a small farm in Pennsylvania with my parents, two elder sisters, and a younger brother. We had an old horse, a cow, a few pigs, some chickens, and a big garden. Food was not a problem. We had our own supply of milk, meat, eggs, fresh vegetables, and Momma's homemade bread.
As a boy of nine, I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )had only a vague (模糊的) idea of what it meant to live during hard times. The weekly newspaper would carry pictures of people standing in line for bread, and the evening broadcast would tell about the huge number of jobless people and their hardships. But these reports referred to people in the cities, and we lived in the country. We never went to bed hungry, and we didn't stand in line for bread.
Although my fat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her was fortunate to have a job at the feed mill (饲料加工厂), eighteen dollars a week was only enough to pay the electric bill and to buy necessities. Momma earned a few dollars baking pies and bread.
To make nightclothes, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Momma used the cotton bags in which the food for our chickens came. It wasn't until years later when my high school class went on an overnight trip that I got my first store bought nightwear.
When a piece ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of clothing was worn out, it wasn't thrown away. First, all the buttons were removed, grouped by size and color, and put in cans or glass jars. Then the clothing was examined, and the best parts were saved for making rugs (地毯). Almost nothing in our house was thrown away.
Although we tend ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to think of recycling as something fairly new, in the 1930s it was part of everyday life. “Waste not, want not” was a familiar and often repeated phrase during those Depression years.
语篇解读　本文是记叙文。文章讲述了经济大萧条时期作者一家人的生活状况。

D. they stood in line for bread
答案与解析　C　推理判断题。由第一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段中的“Food was not a problem. We had our own supply of milk, meat, eggs, fresh vegetables, and Momma's homemade bread”可知，作者之所以认为家里不穷，主要是因为他家在乡下，生活上自给自足，有足够的食物。

A. On his ninth birthday.
B. After his father found a job.

3．Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.
A. how rugs were made
B. what they did with old clothes
C. why nothing was thrown away
D. when to throw away a piece of clothing
答案与解析　B　段落大意题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。由第五段中的“First, all the buttons were removed ... Then the clothing was examined ...”可知，本段主要讲的是家里如何处理破衣服。
4．The author writes the text mainly to ________.
A. introduce his family members
B. compare life in the 1930s with life today
C. tell the difference between city life and country life
D. describe his family's life during the Great Depression
答案与解析　D　写作目的题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者一家人在经济大萧条时期的生活状况，故D项正确。21·cn·jy·com
B
Going green seems t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o be a fad (时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can't really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.
On April 22, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.
With the idea of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little hit helps.
Over the course of Ou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic (有机的) stores. We consume less meat，choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying what we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites.
Our home is kept ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.
Our minds have been ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.
语篇解读　作者和妻子都是环保主义者，为了从自身做起，夫妻俩决定在一年中完成365件不同的环保事项。他们确实做到了，并打算将环保进行到底。
5．What might be the best title for the passage
A. Going Green
B. Protecting the Planet
C. Keeping Open Minded
D. Celebrating Our Green Year
答案与解析　A　主旨大意题。通读全 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文内容可知，文章主要介绍了作者和妻子两人在日常生活中坚持环保的行为和做法。“going green”一直贯穿文章的始终，以此为标题最具概括性。
6．It was difficul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because ________.
A. they were expected to follow the green fad
B. they didn't know how to educate other people
C. they were unwilling to reduce their energy
D. they needed to perform unusual green tasks
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句可知，这对夫妇坚持过一年的绿色环保生活是非常不容易的，因为他们需要完成365件不同的环保事项。
7．What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year
A. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.
B. They ignored others' ungreen behavior.
C. They chose better chemical cleaners.

C
I learned about th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Pygmalion Effect (皮格马利翁效应) when I was 7 years old at Riverdale School in Palmerston North and I copied Melissa Crawford's answers in a spelling test. Before that I was average at school but after that, because Melissa Crawford was smart, and I got all the right answers, I got put in all the smart kids groups. From then I did really well at school because it was believed by the teachers that I would and I also got grouped with the smart kids. This experience that occurred at my primary school shows just how important the Pygmalion Effect is in terms of being around mentors (导师) that expect that you're going to do well and also being around people who are smart.
The Pygmalion ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Effect is one principle you want to use if you want to make money fast. Have mentors that expect you will make money fast and as an extra boost hang around, copy and learn from other people who are also making money fast.
Yesterday th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is site had over 5 000 unique visitors and the traffic to it is increasing all the time. A year ago I contacted a group of people who got lots of traffic in their sites and I learned from them. Truthfully, I don't know if they expected me to start getting decent traffic to websites but I imagined they did so they might as well have.
So there you have it, the Pygmalion Effect.
P．S. My grammar and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )spelling are not that great nowadays but that's actually completely irrelevant (不相关的) when it comes to getting lots of visitors to your site.www.21-cn-jy.com
语篇解读　文章通过作者自己的经历告诉我们皮格马利翁效应的神奇力量。
8．When did the author learn about the Pygmalion Effect
A. Before he took the spelling test.
B. After he cheated in the spelling test.
C. When he did badly in exams.
D. After he finished primary school.
答案与解析　B　细节理解题。根据第一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段第一句中的“I copied Melissa Crawford's answers in a spelling test”判断，是在他考试作弊以后。
9．The author got grouped with the smart kids because ________.
A. he was an average pupil at school
B. he did better than expected
C. Melissa Crawford was smart
D. he did better than all the others at school
答案与解析　B　细节理解题。作者以前学习成绩平平，由于考试作弊，成绩出色，所以老师把他列入聪明的学生之中。　　21*cnjy*com
10．What does the underlined word “contacted” mean in the passage
A. lost touch with
B. made friends with

People say goi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng to college will change your life and that everyone should have the chance to challenge themselves with a college experience. But my parents never had that opportunity. __11__
All during high school ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I wondered if I would go to college and if I would have what my parents never had. I would think about my future, about college and what I wanted to do when I grew up. But then there were thoughts of not going, of believing what others said about college and thinking I had no chance to go.
As I reached the end ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of junior year, I knew I needed to make a decision. __12__ I felt somewhat sad. One day I was having a conversation with my volleyball coach. We talk all the time, but that day college was the topic. __13__ However, what she told me was encouraging. Thoughts flew through my mind about what I wanted to become and what colleges I might be interested in. She mentioned things I had no idea about, like scholarships and financial aid that can help you pay for college. All this information inspired me to continue. She told me about her college experience and all the fun times she'd had. __14__
This conversatio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n changed me. __15__ If I hadn't talked with her, I wouldn't know where I would be today. I now want to make something of myself. I want to become somebody that I wasn't before. I want to go to college.
A. She knew my family could not easily afford my college expenses.
B. They didn't have the money or family to help or motivate them.
C. It made me ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) feel comfortable with myself and helped me believe in myself.
D. She made the decision that she should continue her education.
E. She told me not to miss out on it because I would regret it.
F. Both my parents are very grateful to her for the advice she gave.
G. I didn't have money and knew my parents didn't either.

My name is N ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )athan and I'm 9. I was one of a few kids in our school chosen to attend We Day in Toronto last month and it was the best time of my life!【出处：21教育名师】
We Day is an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) event bringing together thousands of youth sharing their encouraging stories. When I went to We Day, I was really inspired to make a change in the world by Spencer West. Spencer inspired me to collect money with his story of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro even though he has no legs. I came home from We Day with a We Create Change Penny Bag and wanted to get started right away. I went door to door with my dad, used Facebook and emailed everyone asking for pennies to help bring about change around the world. I also asked all of my family and friends that came over, and people I knew in stores and at school for pennies.
I made a penny jar fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r people to put their pennies in. Some people gave me little jars and bags of pennies and others just a few but it all added up! In just one weekend I collected enough coins to fill up my first bag of pennies. Because it was so easy I ordered two more bags and continued collecting. Now I have almost 8 000 pennies for clean water!
My goal is to f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ill four bags by Christmas and another four by the end of the school year. That's 20 000 pennies and I'm almost half way there already! I can't believe that just by collecting $25 in pennies, I can provide clean water for one person for the rest of their life! And, by meeting my goal of eight bags of pennies I will be giving two families clean water for life!
It's great fun to c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ollect change and create change. I hope some of you will see how easy and what fun this is and create change too. Every penny helps!

In 1595, Europe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an explorers first reached the South Pacific. As they explored, they found islands where people who used simple Stone Age tools lived. The Europeans wondered how the islands were settled thousands of years ago.
In the late 18th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) century, Captain James Cook and his team of scientists, including Joseph Banks, studied the Polynesian cultures. The word Polynesia comes from the Greek for “many islands”. Cook and Banks discovered that the languages on the Polynesian islands were very similar. They also found strong similarities between these Polynesian languages and the languages in Southeast Asia.
Between World Wars Ⅰ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and Ⅱ， many scientists went to the South Pacific. They were looking for evidence to support the Southeast Asia theory. They wanted to find out migration routes. Findings were debated, and challenges to the theory arose. The best known came from Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl. In the mid 1940s, his theory was that South America was the point of origin. He held that the major migration route moved westward. Further evidence came in the form of Lapita pottery (陶器) that had been discovered on several islands. Domesticated (被驯养的) animals and crops were also found on some islands. They were all linked to Southeast Asia, except the sweet potato. This Polynesian basic food was native to South America. It was the only real support for the South America theory.
Most scientists ag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ree that the evidence strongly supports a major eastward migration. It might start from Southeast Asia to New Guinea, in the southwest Pacific Ocean, north of Australia. From there the route led southeast through the islands known as Micronesia and Melanesia. From these islands, the route extended (延伸) farther east to the Polynesian islands of Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa. These islands then made voyages farther south, north, and east. They possibly reached as far east as South America, which would account for the sweet potato. More studies are needed to fully explore the routes of these early masters of the sea.

5．Cook and Ban ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ks might believe the first Polynesians came from ________.
A. Greece B. Australia
C. Southeast Asia D. the South Pacific
答案与解析　C　推理判断题。由第二 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段的“They also found strong similarities between these Polynesian languages and the languages in Southeast Asia”可知，库克和班克斯发现波利尼西亚的语言和东南亚的语言很相似。这是古波利尼西亚人来自东南亚的有力证据。故选C项。
6．Which of the following seemed to prove Heyerdahl's theory true
A. Lapita pottery.
B. Sweet potatoes.
C. Domesticated animals.
D. Polynesian languages.
答案与解析　B　细节理解题。由第三 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段末的“This Polynesian basic food was native to South America. It was the only real support for the South America theory”可知，红薯是唯一能够证明海尔达尔理论的证据。
7．This text is mainly to ________.

B. discover the origins of Polynesian languages
C. tell us Europeans' journey in the South Pacific
D. describe ancient migrations from Southeast Asia

答案与解析　
语篇解读　本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一位爱异想天开的教授的故事。
16．B　根据文章首句的“T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he professor always had tons of brilliant ideas”可知，教授总梦想有个绝对能改变世界的“令人惊奇的(amazing)”主意。21教育网
17．C　由人们所说的“改变世 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )界？他连换灯泡都不会”可知，人们开教授的“玩笑(joked)”。下文的“all the jokes”也是提示。
18．D　由However一词的转折和教授的never gave up可知，他“不理会(ignored)”大家的嘲笑。21cnjy.com
19．A　由下文的“He thought so hard”可知，教授爱思考，一天下课后，他决定去“思考(think)”。21·cn·jy·com
20．D　“制造一台时间机器”是有一天教授思考后想到的，这是他的一个“梦想(dream)”。
21．C　教授要造的不是一台旧的时间机器，“而是(but)”一个能创造时间的新机器。
22．B　由下文的“Why not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) make a machine that can create more time when you need it？”可知，教授要造一台时间机器是因为人们常常抱怨“时间(time)”不够用。www.21-cn-jy.com
23．D　有了要造时间机器的想法后，教授 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“急切地(eager)”想要创造出这个改变世界的发明。此处呼应了文章首段的“he would dream up ... idea that was sure to change the world”。2·1·c·n·j·y
24．B　由上文的“His wife, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Mildred, wasn't so sure about his great idea”可知，教授的妻子认为他的主意是不会实现的，因为他不可能制造时间。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
25．C　由下文教授说的话可知，他并“不同意(disagreed)”妻子的想法。
26．A　见下一题解析。
27．D　教授的妻子认为教授所做的事情就是在浪费时间，她认为教授“荒唐(crazy)”，因此是对教授“抱怨(complained)”。21教育名师原创作品
28．A　要制造时间机器，教授自然是尝试了他所能想到的每一个“办法(method)”。
29．B　由上文的“... wasn't j ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ust any old time machine ... an invention that would create time”可知，教授想要制造的时间机器是“独一无二的(unique)”。
30．C　见下一题解析。
31．B　尝试了他所能想到的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )所有办法后，教授又“想起(remembered)”一句谚语“时光飞逝”。于是他把表扔出了窗外，看这句谚语是否是“真的(true)”。21*cnjy*com
32．B　由“the b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )anker wouldn't give him the time of day”可知，教授想向银行借时间，但“令人伤心的是(Sadly)”，银行没有答应。
33．A　根据本句的“a way to s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave time and give him lots of extra time”可知，教授最后有一个惊人的“发现(discovery)”。
34．D　教授发现，如果他“放弃(give up on)”时间机器的计划，那他就会有更多的时间做其他事。
35．B　面对教授的幡然醒 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )悟，教授妻子“笑了(smiled)”。此处呼应了上文教授妻子的态度(Mildred ... The only thing you're doing with time is wasting it ...)。
第二节　语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Alice: Did you watch the news last night
Tom: Anything special
Alice: Yes, S ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )everal tombs, __36__ least 3 000 years old, were discovered yesterday in northwest China's Shaanxi province, which __37__(date) back to the Xizhou Dynasty.
Tom: __38__ have they found in the tombs so far
Alice: More ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )than 20 bronze products __39__(discover) in four out of the five sites. They were all placed near the feet of the body in the tomb. That's something not very common in other Xizhou tombs.
Tom: I guess ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) this will help the Chinese know more about __40__ ancestors. Won't __41__ be hard to find out the identity of the bodies in the tombs It was such a long time ago.
Alice: Yes, they don't know __42__ of the identities yet.

Tom: Will you go and visit it
Alice: Sure. I'm a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lways interested __45__(learn) more about Chinese culture.
答案与解析
36．at　at least“至少”。
37．date　date back ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to“追溯到”是不及物动词短语，无被动语态。在句中作谓语，常用一般现在时，且本句主语为tombs，故本空填date。
38．What　根据下文Alice的回答可知Tom问的是“他们至今为止在古墓里发现了什么？”填特殊疑问词What。
39．have been ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )discovered　所给词在句中作谓语，且根据上下文语境可知该空应用现在完成时，discover与主语more than 20 bronze products为被动关系，故用现在完成时的被动语态，填have been discovered。
40．their　空格处应填限定词，根据语境可知此处表中国人的祖先，故填their。
41．it　根据固定句式“it＋be＋形容词＋to do”结构可知该空填it。
42．any　any“任何一个”，用于否定句中。句意：他们还不知道任何一个墓主人的身份。
43．a　该空填定冠词a，表示“一个”。
44．if　if引导条件状语从句，表“如果”。
45．to learn　根据be interested to do结构可知该空填不定式。
