M:Last year I was fortunate enough to be invited to cross a desert in south-west Africa. It's very hot in the desert. Our journey was five and a half days from start to finish, and we had to carry plenty of water. It's a bit like carrying a stone on your back. It's very heavy. The decision we made was to walk for three hours in the morning, and two hours in the late afternoon, and then spent the rest of the day under our tents for the hottest part of the day. In that place, nothing can live and all that was left were the bones of animals.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30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
A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the_apple_of_their_eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn't find him. The mother felt very sad and didn't know how to face her husband.
When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said “I love you, darling.”
The son was missing. If she had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family's relationship became stronger over that time.
Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.
21.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “the apple of their eye”?
A. A person who always has a sweet smile in their opinion.
B. A person who is as pretty as an apple in their opinion.
C. A person who is loved more than anyone else in their opinion.
D. A person who looks like an apple in their opinion.
答案与解析 C 结婚11年后才得子,这个孩子当然是“父母的眼珠子”。C项正确。
22.Why didn't the father pick the boy up himself?
A. He was very lazy.
B. He thought the mother had picked him up.

23.What can we learn from this passage?
A. Be careful in everything you do.
B. Love is the most important thing.
C. Learn to forgive others.

Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s. The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.
Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs — folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.
25.A good title for this reading passage is ________.
A. Popeye the Sailor
B. The Truth About Spinach
C. A Mistake with Numbers
D. Folic Acid Makes You Strong
答案与解析 B 动画人物大力水手Popeye爱吃菠菜,使得许多人跟着吃菠菜。人们认为它含有大量的铁元素,其实这是因为一个研究小组的疏忽造成的错误。而菠菜真正富含的是叶酸。B项最符合文章主旨,适合作标题。
26.Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?
A. They thought spinach made them strong.
B. They thought Popeye was funny.
C. Spinach had a lot of iron.
D. People liked folic acid.
答案与解析 A 从文章第二句可知, 人们认为吃菠菜会使他们更强壮。A项正确。
27.The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from ________.
A. iron B. folic acid
C. spinach D. exercise
答案与解析 B 从文章最后一段可知,B项正确。
C
Most of the time, people wear hats to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions. Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position. But nowadays, hats, especially women's hats, are much more than that. More exactly, hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars. What's more, people now consider many different features (特点) when choosing even a simple hat. Many designers point out that, when choosing the right hat, it's important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair, your height, and the shape of your face.
First of all, the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair. For instance, black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned. If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair, one will look as attractive as a summer flower. Second, the height of the hat is also an important point. Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns, just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height. Third, and most importantly, the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick. A small, gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face. However, women with big, round faces should choose a different style.
As the saying goes, “Fine feathers make fine birds.” A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features, so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public?
28.What does the underlined word “harsh” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Good. B. Strange.
C. Poor. D. Different.
答案与解析 C 人们戴帽子是为了预防“坏”天气。C项正确。
29.According to the article, which of the following women would look most attractive?
A. A big-faced woman who wears a small, nice hat.
B. A short red-haired woman who wears a purple hat.
C. A tall woman who wears a hat with a huge upturned brim.
D. A small dark-skinned woman who wears a black hat with a tall crown.
答案与解析 B 文章第二段列举了帽子与肤色、脸型、发色、发型的搭配。可用排除法做本题。B项正确。
30.What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. Hats are worn on the head to keep warm.
B. Hats can help you look better in public.
C. Hats are not as important as character.
D. Hats can make you look much taller.
答案与解析 B “好马配好鞍”,最后一段就是要表达这个意思。B项正确。
31.What is the best title for the article?
A. How to Show Your Social Position
B. How to Improve Your Features
C. How to Choose a Proper Hat
D. How to Design a Nice Hat
答案与解析 C 文章全在讲如何选择适合自己的帽子。C项做标题最合适。

Letter A
Dear Rose,
I like your programmes very much. I'm now writing to ask you something about American social customs (社交习惯). My American friends want me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy and have decided to go but I'm a little worried about it too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, and I know little about it.
Should I bring a present, such as sweets or flowers?Should I arrive on time or a little late?At the dinner table, how can I use the fork (叉子) and knife? How can I let the family know that I'm thankful for their kindness?

Letter B
Dear Wang Lin,
It's a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine (酒) if you know that your friends drink it.
You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don't get there early. If you're going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them. Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don't know how to use the fork and knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you.
If you like the food, say so. Of course, you'll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It's also a good idea to send a thank-you card the day after.
Rose

答案与解析
41.A by意为“在……旁边,靠近”,由后面的“life close to water”可知此处指作者出生在海边的一个村庄。on“在……上面”, in“在……里面”和far from“远离”不符合语境。故选A项。
42.B “我的大部分生活”要用“most of my life”,其他选项均表达错误。故选B项。
43.B of some kind意为“某种”,由第一句“I like to be near water — the sea, lake or river”可知此处是指作者大部分生活是在某种水体旁边。of some good“某种有用的”, of some place“某个地方的”和of some land“某种土地的”均不符合语境。故选B项。
44.B 此处是定语从句,先行词some place充当从句中的主语,用关系代词which或that,其他选项均不符合此处语法规则。故选B项。
45.C feel意为“感觉”,由前面的“I am restless(我焦躁不安的)”可知作者感觉到好像缺了某样东西。know“知道”, find“发现”和want“想要”均不符合语境。故选C项。
46.B missing意为“缺少的”,此处是指感到缺了某样东西。missed=which is missed“错过的”和nice“美好的”均不符合语境。故选B项。
47.D say“说”,由前面的“something missing”可知作者很难说出到底缺的是什么东西。make“制造”, see“看见”和do“做”均不符合语境。故选D项。
48.D those意为“那些”,代替前面提及的“the sports”,以避免重复。many“许多”, few“很少”和some“一些”均无此用法。故选D项。
49.C possible意为“可能的”,由后面可知此处是指在游泳池里游泳是可能的。be able to“能够”不能用it作形式主语,故排除A项。easy“容易的”和impossible“不可能的”均不符合语境。故选C项。
50.A 此处的“impossible”与前面的“possible”构成转折关系,故排除and“和”和or“或者,否则”。but和however均意为“可是,但是”, but是并列连词,连接两个并列分句,上下两部分在总的意义上构成了对比; however不能直接连接两个分句,必须另起新句,并用逗号隔开。故选A项。
51.D do some sailing意为“航海,进行帆船运动”,是固定搭配,其他选项均不符合搭配。故选D项。
52.B weather意为“天气”,航海与划船需要好的天气,否则有危险。sky“天空”, day“天,日”和water“水”均不符合语境。故选B项。
53.C 由前面的“Of the three sports”可知此处是最高级。better“更,更好”和more“更多”是比较级,故排除A项和B项。best意为“最,极”,由下文可知作者最喜欢划船。least“最少,最不”不符合语境。故选C项。
54.D easiest意为“最容易的”,由下面的“when the water is too cold for swimming and the sea is too rough for sailing”可知划船是三者中最容易的运动。most interesting“最有趣的”, coldest“最冷的”和hardest“最难的”均不符合语境。故选D项。
55.A 前面的“too cold”与此处的“the coldest day”可知此空表示递进关系, ever“曾经”, but“但是”和only“仅仅”均不符合语境。只有even“甚至”最符合语境。故选A项。
56.B only意为“只是,仅仅”,此处是指只有水上结冰或者下大雾时不能划船。not“不,没有”和it is hardly“几乎不是”不符合语境。not only“不仅”与后面的or不搭配。故选B项。
57.C go out意为“出去”, doing sth.表示伴随情况,即出去并做了某事,此处是指出去划船。to rowing要改为to row,表示目的。go on rowing/go on to row“继续划船”均不符合句意。故选C项。
58.A freeze“结冰”,由前面的“it is so cold”可知此处是指水滴结冰了。drop“滴落”, turn warm“变暖和”和get cool“变凉”均不符合语境。故选A项。
59.D 前面说天气很冷,水又结冰,所以在这样的天气里游泳是不pleasant“令人愉快的,舒适的(修饰事物)”。glad/pleased“高兴的”均修饰人,不符合此处要求。pleasure前面要加上冠词a,表示“乐趣,快乐的事情”。故选D项。
60.A warmer。意为“更暖和的”,此处是指划船的时间越长就会越暖和。happier“更快乐的”, cooler“更凉的”和colder“更冷的”均不符合语境。故选A项。

Lately in the afternoon, the boys put up their tent in the middle of a field. As soon as this was done, they had cooked a meal over an open fire. They were all hungry and the food smelt well. After a wonderful meal, they said stories and sang songs by the camp fire. But some times later it began to rain. The boys felt tired so they put out the fire and crept into his tent. Their sleeping bags warm and comfortable, so they all slept soundly. At the middle of the night, one of the boys woke up or began shouting. The tent had flooded!

Dear_Li_Hua,
I'm_sorry_you_are_having_trouble_in_making_friends._However,_the_situation_is_easy_to_change_if_you_take_my_advice._Here_are_some_tips_to_help_you.
Firstly, why not take an active part in discussion? If you do this, you can express your own opinions, and at the same time, listen to other people's views.
Secondly, you should learn about your classmates' likes and dislikes. Then you can find common interests with them. In this way you can get to know more different people and show them that you are friendly.
Last but not least, it's a good idea to be ready to help others in need. That way your classmates will like making friends with you and you'll enjoy your school life together.
I hope you will find these suggestions useful.
Yours,
Ms_Wang

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30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
English is a language spoken all around the world. There are more than 42 counties where the majority of the people speak English. Most native speakers of English are found in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. In total, for more than 375 million people, English is their mother tongue.
An equal number of people learn English as a second language. These people will perhaps speak the language of their own country at home with their family, but the language of the government, schools, newspapers and TV is English. This situation is found in countries such as India, Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines.
However, the number of people who learn English as a foreign language is more than 750 million. Everywhere in the world children go to school. In China students learn English at school as a foreign language, except for those in Hong Kong, where many people speak English as a first or a second language.
In only fifty years, English has developed into the language most widely spoken and used in the world. English is the working language of most international organizations, international trade and tourism. Businessmen and tourists often come to China without being able to speak Chinese. Chinese businessmen, taxi drivers and students talk with them using English. English is also the language of global culture, such as popular music and the Internet. You can listen to English songs on the radio or use English to communicate with people around the world through the Internet. With so many people communicating in English every day, it will become more and more important to have a good knowledge of English.

The Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors (年长者) have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.
1.How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?
·Finding: About 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.
·Step: Remove the 300 kinds of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.
2.How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?
·Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day — half of the number that doctors advise.
·Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs ?病菌? to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.
3. How often do you think about fighting germs?
·Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.
·Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge ?海绵? that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.
25.What is found out about American seniors?
A. Most of them have good habits.
B. Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week.
C. All of them are fighting germs better than expected.
D. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day.
答案与解析 D 第一段说只有三分之一的美国老年人有正确的健康习惯,排除A项;文中第二个问题中说老年人平均一周洗澡少于3次,B项不对;人们的洗手次数不够,病菌预防当然不够,C项错误;从文章第一个问题中的“About 33% of seniors brush their teeth only one a day.”可知,D项正确。
26.Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands _____.
A. twice a day B. three times a day
C. four times a day D. eight times a day
答案与解析 D 从文中第二个问题中的“4 times a day — half of the number that doctors advise”可知,D项正确。
27.Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. We should stop touching our faces.
B. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.
C. There are less than 300 kinds of bacteria in the mouth.
D. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.
答案与解析 B 从文章最后一段可知,B项正确。A项文中没有提到;C项错在less than;关于D项,文中说我们应该用卫生纸去避免接触门把手,这说明是门把手细菌太多。D项不正确。
C
What is America's number one sport? Can I still say baseball? You could make that statement 30 years ago, but things have changed. Baseball of course has the richest history of all sports. But with the popularity of basketball and American football, there can now be an argument on which sport is America's number one sport.
Basketball really took a turn in the 1980's as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird took the NBA to another level. Of course, basketball was already popular and had seen such stars as Jerry West and Dr.J, but the real breakthrough (突破) came in the 1980's and from there it really took off with Michael Jordan into the 90's. Basketball has even become very global now as many NBA stars competed in the Olympics and faced no competition. Today, they had better be ready because there are so many talents in other countries and the competition will be stiff.
Like basketball, American football has always been a favorite of many sports fans and its popularity has grown widely. The ratings (收视率) that Super Bowl Sunday brings are amazing. They have even talked about making Super Bowl Sunday a national holiday.
In the year 2050, basketball and American football will have history like baseball's rich history and maybe American national sport. They have been trying for years, but it is not going to happen.
So what is America's number one sport? To me baseball will always be Americans' hobby — rich in history and many memories for people of all ages. If you have any comments on this subject, do give your opinions.
28.The most powerful basketball player in 1980's is ________.
A. Larry Bird
B. Michael Jordan
C. Jerry West
D. Magic Johnson
答案与解析 B 从第二段第二句中“it really took off with Michael Jordan”可知,B项正确。
29.This passage mainly talks about ________.
A. baseball and its history
B. the most popular sport in the world
C. which sport is the number one in America
D. whether basketball is a global sport pastime
答案与解析 C 文章开头提出问题“What is America's number one sport?”后文一直围绕此话题展开讨论。C项正确。
30.The author agrees that American football ________.
A. will have rich history
B. is world's most popular sport
C. has its breakthrough in the 1980's
D. will have the richest history by 2050
答案与解析 A 从倒数第二段可知,作者认为篮球和美式足球都会变得富有历史。A项正确。
31.What does the underlined word “stiff” mean in Paragraph Two?
A. Safe. B. Hard.
C. Crazy. D. Strong.
答案与解析 B 由该词所在句可知,外国也有许多有才能的竞争者,所以竞争变得“Hard”。B项正确。

答案与解析
41.B 根据后面的故事可以推测出,有钱人想弄清楚到底人们是否值得他去帮助。
42.A 根据下文内容可知,有钱人把一块大石头放在路中央。
43.C 藏到树后等待着看谁把石头搬走。
44.B 该句缺少的是主语,故应表示:“是谁把这块石头放在路中间的呢?”
45.A 由下文第10空所在句... not one of them tried to remove it可知,他没有想办法把石头搬走。
46.D 根据前面的instead可判断,老人没有移开石头,而是费力地绕过去了。with difficulty“费力地”; with anger“生气地”; with curiosity“好奇地”; with doubt“怀疑地”。
47.A 根据上下文可知,老人继续赶路。
48.B 根据下文的then another came, and another可知,又一个人经过,做了同样的事情(没有移开石头,而是绕过它继续赶路),选择same最符合语境。
49.C 因为没有人搬开石头,所以应该是每个人都抱怨路中心的石头。
50.B 虽然抱怨,但是没有一个人去把它搬走。前后之间是转折关系,所以用but。
51.C 由下文第12空所在句The night will be very ...可知,应该是下午的晚些时候。
52.B 根据下文Some neighbor will come along later in the dark可知,晚上是很黑的。
53.A 在晚上人们可能会被石头绊倒(fall against the stone)。
54.B 有了上文的这个想法后,年轻人就开始搬动石头。
55.C 他用尽所有的力气搬动这块石头。pushed and pulled with all his strength表示“用尽他所有的力气又推又拉”。energy“精力,能量”; force“暴力”; effort“努力”。
56.A 他只想着把石头搬走,没有想到石头底下有钱,所以见到钱一定很意外、很吃惊。
57.D 根据下文内容可知,这里指的是一袋子钱。
58.A 这袋子钱是为那些关心别人,把石头从路上搬走的人准备的。thoughtful“关心别人的;考虑周到的”。
59.C 根据第一段第二句... whether they deserved his help.可知,此处表示“那个人值得帮助”。
60.A 根据上下文内容可知,如果我们能多为他人考虑、多关心他人,我们一定会生活得更好,工作得更精彩。consideration“考虑,体谅,关心”。

M:Our home here is very large. We have four bedrooms, an office, two bathrooms, a front room and a dining room. We do a lot of things around the house. We garden quite a bit, walk in our garden, and we play basketball on the basketball court we've got out the back. Usually Saturday afternoon we have a picnic and that's our meal because during the summer it gets pretty hot here and sometimes you just want to be outside rather than be inside. In California you really have two seasons —spring, summer and fall are all very much the same and the winter is very different. It's very cold. Sometimes we play football and basketball in spring. My youngest son often plays baseball in summer.

It is winter in many parts of the world. For some areas, that means snow. Maybe even lots of snow. If you don't have to drive in it or remove it, snow can be very beautiful. When snow covers everything around you, the world looks like a “winter wonderland”. That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song back in 1934. There are hundreds of recordings of this happy song.
But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time. It's cold outside. You try hard to keep warm. The days are darker and shorter. The sun rarely shines. The leaves on the trees are brown. It isn't surprising that some people are sad in winter. And some people dream about being somewhere else where it's warm and pretty — like the state of California. The Mamas and the Papas recorded this famous song “California Dreaming”.
During the 1960s, many other famous rock groups released songs about winter. Here is a poetic song by Simon and Garfunkel called “A Hazy Shade of Winter”. They sing about life and hope and possibilities.
In 1968, the group Blood, Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle, sad song about winter. They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in “Sometimes in Winter”.
In the early 1990s, Tori Amos wrote and recorded the beautiful song called “Winter”. She enjoyed singing about winter when she was a child.
Finally, on a happier note comes this song written and recorded by Fountains of Wayne in 2013. They sing about a snowstorm in a New England town. Nothing unusual there. But instead of being sad or tense about the snow, they write a song about it.
25.When is snow beautiful?
A. When people drive in it.
B. When people don't have to take it away.
C. When it has snowed heavily.
D. When people sing in the snow.
答案与解析 B 从文章第一段第四句话可知,B项正确。

To see the world is one thing; to have someone to share it with is another. Indeed, travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. A travel partner can be a close friend, a family member, a pal you've met online, or a business friend.
You can have someone to talk to
Traveling alone is fun, but wouldn't you feel lonely? Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion (伙伴) who is very familiar with the place you're traveling to. You don't have to ask any information from the locals, and you can increase the time you spend in the country.
________
One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You can't simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also think about your daily needs, such as your food. Of course, you can't simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品) to your friends and family. All these can ruin (毁掉) your budget (预算). However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses (花费) with.
You can meet a good friend
Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner. You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other's heart while traveling together in another country.
You can have someone to watch out for you
When you're in a foreign land, you'll never be really safe. You don't know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost. So why don't you find a travel companion now?
Let's find out how ...
29.What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce a travel company.
B. To encourage us to have a travel partner.
C. To explain how to be a perfect travel partner.
D. To tell an interesting experience with a travel partner.
答案与解析 B 从文章首段以及下文不难看出,作者认为结交旅行伙伴有很多好处。B项正确。
30.What's the best title for the 3rd paragraph?
A. You can have someone to share the expenses with.
B. You can know the local culture well.
C. You can enjoy food with your partner.
D. You can save money by bargaining (讲价) together.
答案与解析 A 从第三段内容来看,旅行伙伴可以分担旅行费用。A项正确。
31.Which of the following statements agrees with the author's opinion?
A. Traveling alone is not fun.
B. Buying souvenirs isn't necessary.
C. Many people fall in love when traveling.
D. It's better to choose a stranger as a travel partner.
答案与解析 C 从第四段可知,很多夫妻都是在一起旅行时,相互闯入对方的心扉。C项正确。A项与第二段第一句不符;B、D两项与文意有出入。
32.The following paragraph will probably talk about _______.
A. how to get along with a travel partner
B. how travel can benefit people
C. what we can learn from travel

答案与解析
41.B against one's advice意为“违背或反对某人的建议”。此处是指Tom没有听朋友的建议。thought“想法,思考”, relation“关系”和favor“赞成,恩惠”均不符合句意。故选B项。
42.A alone意为“独自地,单独地”,由下文可知他是一人出来旅游的。abroad“在国外,到国外”, along“沿着”和away“离开,相隔……远”均不符合语境。故选A项。
43.D bad意为“坏的,差的”,由后面的“crowds of people”可知这个时候在伦敦旅行时机不好。short“短的,矮的”, certain“一定的,确定的”和possible“可能的”均不符合语境。故选D项。
44.A for意为“因为”,用以解释bad time的原因,其他选项均不符合句意。故选A项。
45.B have to意为“不得不”,要排长队购票是不以他的意志为转移的,所以他不得不排队。plan“计划”, happen“碰巧,发生”和hope“希望”均不符合句意。故选B项。
46.D 此处是指当轮到Tom的时候, turn符合句意。luck“幸运”, time“时间”和chance“机会”均不符合语境。故选D项。
47.D however前面说售票员听不懂他的话,后面说他买到了票,前后两句之间显然是“转折”关系。thus“因此,从而”, instead“反而,代替”, however“然而”, therefore“因此”,四个选项中只有however符合句意。故选D项。
48.B way意为“路,道路”,此处是指Tom通过问路找到了合适的站台。question“问题”, place“地方”和condition“条件,状况”均不符合句意。故选B项。
49.A be packed with=be crowded with意为“挤满”,正因为人拥挤,才上不了第一趟火车。B项不与with搭配。be covered with“被……覆盖”和be seized with“被……占据”不符合语境。故选A项。
50.A manage to do sth.意为“设法做成某事”,由后面的“get on the next one”可知Tom没赶上第一趟火车。try to do sth.“尽力做某事”, agree to do sth.“同意做某事”和expect to do sth.“期望做某事”均不符合语境。故选A项。
51.C position“位置”,因为是在拥挤的站台上,所以Tom当然要找到一个更好的位置上下火车。situation“形势,情形”, state“状态”和seat“座位”均不符合语境。故选C项。
52.B sweep意为“猛推”,由后面的“from behind”可知他是被人推向前的。fight“斗争,奋斗”, draw“拉,吸引”和bring“带来”均不符合语境。故选B项。
53.D push意为“推,推进”,与上一空sweep同义,是指人的推动力。speed“速度”, support“支持”和strike“击打,袭击”均不符合语境。故选D项。
54.C 这里是指他看不到停靠站的名字。故C项符合。symbol“符号”, point“地方,尖端,点”和number“数字”均不符合语境。故选C项。
55.B stop意为“停,停止”,车站就是火车停靠的地方。leave“离开”, start“开始,出发”和move“移动”均不符合语境。故选B项。
56.C 由下一句中的“reached the sixth station”可知Tom想要去第六站, stop与station同义,均意为“车站”。part“部分”, pause“暂停”和arrival“到达”均不符合语境。故选C项。
57.A glad意为“高兴的”,由后面的“so easy”可知旅行如此轻松, Tom当然感觉很高兴。sick“生病的,恶心的”,sorry“感到难过的,感到抱歉的”和tired“疲倦的”均不符合语境。故选A项。
58.A 因为这是Tom第一次来英国,所以没到过这个车站很正常,故排除arrive at“到达”。hear of意为“听说”,此处是指Tom来到没有听说过的车站。talk about“谈论”和think of“想起”均不符合句意。故选A项。
59.C difficulty意为“困难”,此处是指Tom把遇到的困难向站台上的一个人述说。result“结果”, mistake“错误”和ticket“票”,均不符合句意。故选C项。
60.B smile意为“笑,笑容”,听说Tom乘车的方向完全反了,那人的第一反应是觉得好笑。joke“玩笑”不可能出现在脸上。surprise“吃惊”不符合语境, pity不能这么用。故选B项。

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
Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It's the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applications waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy's heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
21.Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?
A. He was out of work.
B. He was bored with his job.
C. He wanted a higher position.
D. He hoped to find a better boss.
答案与解析 A 从文章第一句“he lost his job.”可知,他失业了。A项正确。
22.What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?
A. A friend's car had a flat tyre.
B. A wild man was pushing a car.
C. A terrible accident happened.
D. An old man's car broke down.
答案与解析 D 从文章第二段中“there was something wrong with the car”可知,那位老人的车出故障了,D项正确。
23.Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?
A. He was also to be interviewed.
B. He needed a traveling companion.
C. He always helped people in need.
D. He was thankful to Jimmy.
答案与解析 D 从文章第二段末可知,吉米修好了老人的车。老人为了表示感谢坚持要送吉米去公司面试。
24.What can we learn from Jimmy's experience?
A. Where there is a will, there's a way.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Good is rewarded with good.
D. Two heads are better than one.
答案与解析 C 文章讲述了一个助人为乐的吉米。由于做好事而获得工作的故事。A项“有志者事竟成”;B项“患难见真情”;D项“人多力量大”,均不符合文章主旨。C项“好人好报”,为正确答案。
B
A study shows that nearly ninety percent of teens report that they have tried alcohol. That's an increase of 23 percent in just four years!
Each year, 1. 1 billion cans of beer are drunk by students aged 15~19 years old. Beer is the most common alcoholic drink among teens — 81 percent of the drinkers had tried it. Beer is followed by wine with 63 percent, hard liquor (烈酒) with 53 percent and wine coolers with 35 percent.
When the young people are asked why they drank, the most common answer is that drinking is “something to do”. If a teen's parents drink alcohol, the teenager is more likely to start drinking at an early age. Also, tens see all of their friends drinking alcohol so they think it is the must-to-do thing. Peer pressure is probably the hardest thing teens have to deal with. What's more, teens often drink alcohol because it makes them feel older and cooler.
Researchers asked 56,000 students about their drinking habits and grades, to see how drinking might affect their grades in school. The results seem to be clear. Students who got a C level or lower tend to use three times as much alcohol as those who got B's or A's.
Alcohol use can be deadly. About 8,100 young people are killed per year in alcohol-related accidents. Eight young people die per day as a result of a drunk-driving accident. Between 50 and 65 percent of all teen suicides (自杀) occur after the young people drink.
So you see, drinking the alcohol doesn't always end up with a good time. The next time you try to push someone to drink or someone tries to push you to drink, please remember this. One drink can set the habit for life. Why not throw it away?
25.The reasons for teens' drinking alcohol are mentioned EXCEPT that ________.
A. they think it is cool to drink alcohol
B. their parents set a bad example to them
C. alcohol can make them happier
D. peer pressure plays an important role
答案与解析 C 根据第三段“What's more, teens often drink alcohol because it makes them feel older and cooler.”“If a teen's parents drink alcohol, the teenager is more likely to start drinking at an early age.”以及“Peer pressure is probably the hardest thing teens have to deal with.”说明A、B、D三项都提及了,所以答案为C项。“饮酒可以使他们快乐”文中没有提及。
26.What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. Drinking alcohol makes students stupid.
B. Good students never try alcohol.
C. Drinking habits have something to do with IQ.
D. Students with poor grades tend to use more alcohol.
答案与解析 D 根据第四段中“Students who got a C level or lower tend to use three times as much alcohol as those who got B's or A's.”可知成绩及格或不及格的学生可能是良好、优秀学生饮酒量的三倍可以推出答案为D项。
27.The passage was written mainly to ________.
A. show the bad effect of drinking alcohol
B. show how many teenagers drink alcohol
C. tell teenagers not to try alcohol
D. tell the reasons why teenagers drink alcohol
答案与解析 C 根据最后一段告诫青少年戒掉饮酒的习惯,不要饮酒,更不要劝别人喝酒。因为饮酒的结局不总是那么美妙的得到答案。告诉青少年“不要以身试酒”。C项最能概括文章大意。
C
Have you ever had travel problems because your airplane was late? It is a common problem and it is getting worse. Airport delays make people angry and cost the country billions in lost work time.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the government agency that oversees air travel. They studied the problem of airline delays.
They found eleven major problems and suggested eleven ways to fix them. Some of the problems are caused because different regions of the country do things differently. The regions don't talk to each other enough. Some of them need new computers.
Also, more planes are flying. A strong economy has more people using airplanes to get around. Airplanes are a form of mass transportation now, like trains and buses were in the past. More planes in the airport cause delays.
The airport in San Francisco is a good example. It is growing fast. Many people go through San Francisco to get to other places around the world. Ron Wilson of the San Francisco International Airport says, “If you've got 18 flights that all want to take off at 8:00 am and you're on the 18th plane in line, you're going to be 40 minutes late.”
Weather is another main reason for delays. Weather causes about 70% of delays. Fog or freezing rain can cause delays.
The first thing the FAA wants to do is take control away from the regions during heavy traffic times and bad weather. A national center would make decisions on things that affect the whole country. The FAA also wants to put more distance between planes in the sky when the weather is bad. This rule could cause even more delays.
The FAA knows that their solutions will not solve the problems with airport delays. But, they hope to make things better. There are just too many planes, too few traffic controllers, and not enough new technology.
28.FAA found that some of the delay problems are caused by ________ between two regions.
A. different languages
B. technical misunderstanding
C. misunderstanding of the rules
D. lack (缺乏) of communication
答案与解析 D 在第三段提到了FAA总结的几种航班延误的原因:不同地区做事不同、交流问题、电脑设备陈旧。D项正确。
29.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for airline delays?
A. A growing number of flights.
B. Bad weather.
C. A growing population.
D. Lack of new technology.
答案与解析 C 第四段提到了A项;第六段提到了B项;最后一段提到了D项。文中没有涉及C项的内容。C项为正确选项。
30.From the passage we can infer that ________.
A. FAA is a national center which controls all the flight matters
B. FAA has taken control to solve airport delays
C. in San Francisco, each plane will delay about 40 minutes
D. safety rules during bad weather may cause more delays
答案与解析 D 第二段说FAA是government agency,排除A项; FAA“studied the problem of airline delays”,排除B项;第五段只是举了个例子,C项并不是真实发生。D项可在第七段找到依据。
31.Which of the statements best gives the idea of the passage?
A. FAA should make decisions to stop airport delays.
B. Airport delays are on the rise.
C. Travel problems cost billions in lost work time.
D. FAA has taken control of air traffic nationwide.
答案与解析 B 文章主要讲了航班延误的问题,由于各种原因,航班延误还不能彻底解决。B项最符合文章主题。
D

Amy said not to worry, Mr Dawson wouldn't __45__ anyone. When they got close to the old man's house, Dawson looked up with his __46__ frown, but when he saw it was Amy, a broad __47__ changed his entire face as he greeted happily.
Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight __48__ they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded __49__, and offered them each a flesh picked apple off his __50__.
When they got out of Dawson, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he's the __51__ man in town. How come was he so nice to us?”
Amy __52__ that when she first started walking past his house he wasn't very __53__, but she pretended he was wearing an __54__ smile and so she always smiled back at him. __55__, one day he half-smiled back at her. After some more time, he started smiling __56__ smiles and then started talking to her. Just a “hello” at first, then more. Amy said, “My grandma __57__ me that if I pretended I wasn't afraid and __58__ he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, that sooner or later he would really smile.”

答案与解析
41.B 这里指的是去院子摘苹果,所以用动词pick。另外根据下文第50空所在的句子... offered them each a fresh picked apple ...也可确定答案。
42.C 12岁的珍妮特要陪她的朋友艾米过夜。另外根据下文第四段第一句也可知答案。
43.A on the way to在去……的路上。
44.B 根据第一段第一句可知,道森脾气不好,所以珍妮特很怕他,用scared“恐惧的”最合理。
45.A 根据前一句话可知艾米很自信,她认为道森不会伤害任何人。
46.B 当她们走到房子那儿,道森抬起了头,一如既往地皱着他的眉头。
47.D 因为上文提到皱着眉,同时这里用到but表转折,下文也出现greeted happily,说明微笑露在他脸上。
48.B 一起度过晚上、一起听音乐、做游戏是并列关系。
49.A 她们的这些活动听上去很有趣。
50.B 根据前面的fresh picked apple可判断,显然应该从树上刚摘下来的。
51.A 根据第一段小孩子不能去他那里摘苹果,即使掉在地上的也不能捡,所以人们会认为道森先生很吝啬。
52.B 艾米对珍妮特的疑问进行进一步解释。
53.A 这里指的是最初Dawson很不友好,和上文的bad temper以及下文的one day he half-smiled back at her相呼应。
54.B 根据第58空所在句he was smiling an invisible smile at me可知答案。
55.D 这里是叙述道森先生的改变经过,所以用finally表示经过艾米的努力,最后道森先生对她露出了一点笑容。
56.A 这个微笑是他最真实的微笑,和本段最后一句that sooner or later he would really smile相呼应。
57.A 接下来的话是奶奶告诉艾米的,用told最符合。
58.A 奶奶告诉我如果我假装不害怕,假装他有着看不见的笑容,我对他微笑,总有一天他会真正微笑起来。
59.D 这里指的是我们要记住奶奶的话。
60.A 每个人都有着看不见的笑容,我们会发现大多数人在一段时间后是无法抗拒我们的微笑的。wear在此处表示“面带,面露”。

Don't drive your kids to school. Let them ride a bike to school.
In England 8. 3 million children travel to school every day. It is reported that only a small number of pupils cycle to school (under 2%), although one in three children would actually like to.
Experts say that to stay healthy, children need at least one hour of moderate (适度的) exercise every day. But only six out of ten boys and four out of ten girls get that. One of the reasons is that parents have developed a habit of driving their children to school when they could just walk or ride a bike to school.
Teachers often say that children who walk or ride a bike to school are more ready to listen to their classes, ask and answer questions in class than those driven by car, and the school journey is a good chance for children to learn about road safety and other life skills. Also, for many children, riding a bike is more fun than going to school by car.
Most parents know the benefits. Then what's stopping them from letting their kids ride a bike? Safety is the number one worry for them. But actually riding a bike is not as dangerous as parents think it is.
When you decide to buy a bike, you should be aware (意识到) that a bike that is too big or too small is dangerous. Don't try to get a bike that your child will “grow into”. Get the right size in good working order. Generally, 20-inch wheels are on bikes for 5~8 year olds; 24-inch wheels are for 9~11 year olds; 26-inch wheels are suitable for those over 11, and some older children should even take bikes with 28-inch wheels, but the main thing is that the bike fits your child.
25.This passage is mainly written for ________.
A. teachers whose students have asked their parents to drive them to school
B. children who have asked their parents to drive them to school
C. parents who drive their children to school
D. parents who drive to work
答案与解析 C 文章在讲述一些让孩子自己骑车上学的好处,故这篇文章是写给开车送孩子上学的家长们。C项正确。
26.Which of the following benefits of cycling to school is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. It will help children keep healthy.
B. It will make children more active in class.
C. It will make children feel freer.
D. It will be more fun for children.
答案与解析 C 第三段提到healthy;第四段提到了B项和D项。C项为正确选项。
27.Parents don't allow their children to ride a bike to school mainly because ________.
A. their children don't want to
B. they are worried about their children's safety
C. they don't know what size bike to choose
D. they haven't enough money to buy a bike
答案与解析 B 第五段讲到了父亲对孩子骑车上学安全的担心。B项正确。
28.Generally, what size bike is suitable for a 10-year-old child?
A. A bike with 20-inch wheels.
B. A bike with 24-inch wheels.

Can you remember the day when you spoke your first word? If you can, you are unusual. Try to imagine what first few months of your life were like. I am sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grow older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more time to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened curiously. You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things.
Then you began to try making the sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing. On that day you came to understand the secret of language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is no good as a word unless everybody agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, can they understand each other. Then, and only then do these people have a LANGUAGE.
After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as BOOKS, CHAIRS and SHOES. Some words meant doing things, such as GO and SWIM. And other words describe things, such as GOOD and DIRTY. Soon you learned to put words together to express one's idea, such as “I want to go out and play with my friends.” This is language. By means of language people can communicate. So we say languages are means of communication.
29.________ can remember the day when ________.
A. One; he spoke his first word
B. No one; he spoke his first word
C. Most people; they spoke their first words
D. None; they spoke their first words
答案与解析 B 由第一段第二句可知,如果你记得你说的第一个字,那么你就不同寻常“unusual”。B项正确。
30.The secret of language is that ________.
A. one sound might be as good as another
B. people can understand each other
C. a certain sound is for a certain thing
D. there is a special sound for each person
答案与解析 C 从第三段第二句话可知, C项正确。
31.You could learn words ________.
A. before you knew what the language was
B. after you knew what the language was
C. if you knew the secret of the language
D. when you were a baby
答案与解析 B 从第三段可知,知道了语言的秘密后,“is no good as a word unless everybody agrees on its meaning”。B项正确。
32.The aim in using language is ________.
A. to get everything one wants from others
B. to say what one wants to know
C. to share ideas, opinions, news, etc. with one another
D. to make oneself understood by others
答案与解析 C 从文章最后两句可知,语言是一种交流的方式。C项最全面。
D

答案与解析
41.C 一些抽象名词如fact, news, information等后面接由that引导的同位语从句,其他选项均不符合语法要求,故排除A、B和D,选C项。
42.D 该空处的句意是:在35年的开车时间里,她从未因驾驶犯规而受过罚。A项“大约,关于”,B项“在上面”和C项“对,向”均不符合句意,for表示被惩罚的原因,故排除A、B和C,选D。
43.D 由第一段内容可知她始终保持着记录,但那天她差点儿丢了(lost)这个记录,因为她闯了红灯,A项“保持”,B项“赢得”和C项“错过,想念”均不符合语境,故排除A、B和C,选D项。
44.C watch“注视,观察”不妥,因为主语是警车,而不是人,故排除A;B项“after”不能充当谓语,故排除B; ran after“追赶”也不对,警车在此之前没理由追赶她,故排除D项;警车跟在她后面,用follow“跟随”最合适,故选C项。
45.A go要说go by,故排除B项; past不是动词,故排除C项; rush+宾语,意为“仓促做”,不符合语境,故排除D项;pass a red light“经过红灯”,最符合语境,故选A项。
46.C sure常用人或物作主语,不能用it作形式主语,故排除A项;此句符合certain的句型:It is/was certain+that从句,B和D均无此用法,故排除B和D,选C项。
47.D 此处的句意是“当Mrs. Jones来到法官面前的时候,他严肃地看着她……”。A项“在……之前”和C项“直到……为止”均不符合语境,故排除A和C; while引导的从句谓语动词要用延续性动词, when引导的从句谓语动词短暂或延续均可,而句中的came为短暂性动词,故排除B项,选D项。
48.C 此处是too ... to ...结构,表示“太……而不能……”,其他选项均不符合此结构,故排除A、B和D,选C项。
49.B why she had not stopped是定语从句,先行词一定是原因名词,故排除C和D; reason常用于句型: the reason+why从句,意为“……的原因”,而cause则指火灾、水灾或事故的起因,也无此句型结构,故排除A,选B项。
50.A 交通灯一般不用lamp“电灯”,故排除B项;由文章第5空后面可知是红灯,故用red light,C项“标志”和D项“一个,某个”不符合语境,故排除C和D,选A项。
51.A 此处句意是:Mrs. Jones视力很差是因为年老。because与for表原因时,只能引导一个句子,此处是一个短语:old age,故排除B和C;of“属于……的”不表原因,故排除D项; with此处相当于because of,后接短语,故选A项。
52.B 强调说话的内容用say;指说话的动作或讲某种语言用speak; talk意为“交谈,谈话”,强调相互说话;tell意为“告诉,讲述”,后接双宾语;此处是强调说话的内容,故排除A、C和D,选B项。
53.C 此处是Mrs. Jones拿出随身携带的手提包。see“看见”, get“得到”和bring“带来”均不符合语境,故排除A、B和D。carry表示随身携带,不强调方向性,符合语境,故选C项。
54.D 此处是Mrs. Jones挑了一根针眼小的针,如用take, bring和pick都要加上out,才能表示“拿出”,故排除A、B和C,选D项。
55.C 从上文看,老太太显然是成功了。A项“几乎”和B项“几乎不”均不符合语境,故排除A和B;此处done是动词,只能用副词修饰,故排除D,选C项。
56.A both是指两者都, all是指三者或三者以上都,neither是指两者都不, either是指两者中的任何一个,此处是指针和线两者,故排除B、C和D,选A项。
57.B 此处是it is your turn,表示“该轮到你了”,其他选项均不符合语境,故排除A、C和D,选B项。
58.D 由后边一句说他要穿过它(thread it),可知法官拿了“针”,故排除A“线”和B“杯子,玻璃”;此处是穿一根针,要用单数名词,故排除C项,选D项。
59.A 由于法官穿针没有成功,只好驳回了Mrs. Jones闯红灯的案例。be dismissed意为“被驳回,不被受理”,B项“通过”,C项“解决”和D项“研究”均不符合语境,故排除B、C和D,选A项。
60.D was只表状态,此处表动作,故排除A; kept此处应用was kept,故排除B; seem“好像,似乎”,语气不够肯定,故排除C项; remain“保持,仍是”,指某人或某事物仍保持某种状态,符合“她的记录仍未打破”这个语境,故选D项。

范文
The great leader Nelson Mandela was born on July 18th, 1918 in Africa. He was once elected the chairman of ANC Youth League and during the time between 1994 and 1999 he served as the president of South Africa. As the first black president in history, he played an active role in fighting against racial segregation, as a result of which he was kept in prison for 27 years. After the racial segregation came to an end in South Africa, Mandela was highly thought of by many people especially by the blacks. For the past 40 years, he has received more than 100 prizes, the most remarkable of which is the Nobel Peace Prize he won in 1993. Unfortunately, the great man passed away on December 6th, 2013 in Johannesburg, which brought great pain all over the world.
