⑥Before I got there, the machine ________________ (repair). was publishedhave been takenwill be builtis visitedwas being madehad been repaired【语法精点】
一、基础点拨
1. 被动语态概述。
被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者, 一般说来, 只有及物动词才有被动语态。汉语往往用“被”、“受”、“给”等词来表示被动意义。
*They didn’t offer Ann the job. (主动语态)
*Ann wasn’t offered the job. (被动语态)
安没得到这份工作。 2. 几种时态的被动语态： *English is spoken in many countries.
很多国家说英语。
*Some trees are being cut down in the park.
公园里的一些树正在被砍倒。
*The construction of the new lab will be completed by the end of next month. 新实验室将会在下个月底前完工。
*The whole village has been washed away by the flood. 整个村庄都被洪水冲走了。 *This hospital was set up in1975.
这所医院建于1975年。
*The road was being built at 9o’clock yesterday but I don’t know if it can be used now. 昨天9点的时候这条路正在被修建, 但是我不知道是否现在能使用它。
*Before the meeting was over, some agreements had been reached. 在会议结束前, 已达成了一些协议。 二、难点突破
1. 主动语态变成被动语态要注意的几个问题。
(1)含双宾语的主动结构变为被动结构时, 有两种方法:
一是将间接宾语(人)变为主语, 直接宾语(物)保持不变;
二是将直接宾语变为主语, 间接宾语用介词to或for引导。 *He told us a story.
他给我们讲了一个故事。(变成被动语态)
→We were told a story by him.
=A story was told to us by him.
*Her mother bought her a computer.
她妈妈给她买了一台电脑。(变成被动语态)
→A computer was bought for her by her mother.
=She was bought a computer by her mother. (2)若主动语态中的谓语是动词短语, 在变为被动语态时, 要将动词短语视为一个整体, 其后的介词或副词不能省去。
*She will take good care of the children.
她将会照顾好这些孩子。(变成被动语态)
→The children will be taken good care of by her. (3)let, make等使役动词和see, watch, feel, notice, hear等感官动词用于被动语态时, 若其后接动词不定式作补足语, 这时要用带to的不定式。
*I hear the students in Class 7 sing the English song every day.
每天我都听到7班的学生唱这首英文歌。(变成被动语态)
→The students in Class 7 are heard to sing the English song every day by me. 2. 被动语态的特殊形式。
(1)含有情态动词的被动语态的结构为: 情态动词+ be +过去分词。
*She should be taught how to operate the computer.
应该教给她如何操作电脑。
(2)“get/remain+动词的过去分词”是被动语态的变形, 强调结果。
*The patient gets treated once a week.
那位病人一周得到一次治疗。 3. 主动形式表达被动含义。
(1)动词look, sound, feel, smell, taste, seem, turn, fall, grow, keep, go, stay作系动词时, 后跟名词或形容词作表语, 表示主语的特点。
*The dish tastes delicious. 这道菜尝起来美味极了。
(2)表示开始、结束、运动的动词, 如begin, finish, open, stop, move等, 用主动形式表达被动含义。
*The shop opens at 8: 00 every day.
商店每天八点开始营业。 (3)表示主语属性、特性的动词, 如read, write, sell, wash, lock等, 用主动形式表达被动含义。
*The new book sells well. 这本新书卖得很好。
(4)有些动词或动词短语的主语虽然是物, 但不能用于被动语态, 如remain, arise, come out, belong to, date from, date back to, consist of, run out等。【高考体验】
破解被动语态的关键三步:
1. 分清主语和谓语之间的关系, 确定是被动语态；
2. 明确时态, 确定用哪一种时态的被动语态；
3. 注意主动形式表被动的一些词的用法, 并且还
要确定不及物动词或有些短语不能用于被动语态。1. (2013·湖南高考)If nothing ________, the oceans will turn into fish deserts.
A. does B. had been done
C. will do D. is done
解题关键: 理解句意, 明白主语nothing与do之间的被动关系以及当主句是将来时, 从句应当用一般现在时。
思路分析: 选D。句意: 要是什么都不做, 海洋将变成鱼的沙漠。if引导条件状语从句, 从句中用一般现在时表示将来。故选D。2. (2013·重庆高考)A Midsummer Night’s Dream ______ at the Theatre Royal on 19th June, and then tours throughout Scotland.
A. opens B. is opened
C. will open D. will be opened
解题关键: 正确理解句意, 知道此处是按照时间表或安排做事, 然后正确判断时态和语态。另外, 注意提示词tours。
思路分析: 选A。句意: 6月19日《仲夏夜之梦》在皇家剧院首演之后会在整个苏格兰巡回演出。表示按照计划、时间表上的安排做事用一般现在时。open开业、上演是不及物动词, 不用被动语态。【易错误区】
有些学生认为主语是物, 和open之间是被动关系, 误选B、D两项; 有些同学认为此处表示将来, 误选C。做此题的关键是知道opens和句中的tours是并列关系, 并且掌握按照计划、时间表上的安排做事用一般现在时表将来。3. (2013·北京高考)Shakespeare’s play Hamlet ______ into at least ten different films over the past years.
A. had been made B. was made
C. has been made D. would be made
思路分析: 选C。考查时态和语态。句意: 莎士比亚的戏剧《哈姆雷特》在过去的几年中至少被制作成了十部不同的电影。时间状语over the past years与现在完成时连用。4. (2012·湖南高考)Don’t worry. The hard work that you do now ______ later in life.
A. will be repaid B. was being repaid
C. has been repaid D. was repaid
思路分析: 选A。考查时态和被动语态。句意: 不要担心。你现在做的这份艰苦的工作会在以后的生活中得到回报。根据句意可知应用一般将来时, 且主语the hard work和谓语动词repay(回报)之间是被动关系, 故用一般将来时的被动语态。5. (2012·天津高考)The letters for the boss ______ on his desk but he didn’t read them until three days later.
A. were put B. was put
C. put D. has put
思路分析: 选A。考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意: 写给老板的那些信件放在桌子上, 但直到三天后他才看。根据but后面的谓语的时态可知, 此处叙述的是过去的事情。主语the letters与put之间是被动关系, 且主语是复数, 谓语也用复数形式。故选A。Ⅰ. 单项填空
1. (2013·泉州高二检测)I have been working here since I ______ this new position.
A. offered B. have offered
C. was offered D. had been offered
【解析】选C。考查时态和语态。句意: 自从我被提供给这个新职位以来, 我一直在这儿工作。since从句动作发生在过去, 所以用一般过去时。主语I和offer之间是被动关系, 所以选C。2. (2013·郴州高二检测)A lot of people often forget that oral exams ______ to test our communicative ability.
A. design B. are designed
C. are designing D. are being designed
【解析】选B。考查时态和语态。句意: 很多人经常忘记设计口语测试是为了测试我们的交流能力。根据forget以及句意可知, 此处表达的是现在存在的一种情况, 所以用一般现在时。oral exams和design之间是被动关系, 所以用一般现在时的被动语态。3. (2013·德州高二检测)—Your forehead ______ hot. You must have had a fever.
—Oh, Mum, you mean I don’t need to go to school?
A. is feeling B. feels
C. is felt D. is being felt
【解析】选B。考查时态和语态。句意: ——你的额头摸起来很烫。你一定发烧了。——哦, 妈妈, 你的意思是我不需要上学去了? feel在此处表示“摸起来”, 是系动词, 不能用于被动语态和进行时。故选B。【变式训练】
The shirt ______ soft is comfortable to wear.
A. felt B. feeling C. feel D. feels
【解析】选B。考查非谓语动词。句意: 摸起来很柔软的那件衬衫穿着很舒服。feel在此处表示“摸起来”是系动词, 不能用于被动语态, 所以作定语时, 不能用过去分词。feeling soft=that/which feels soft作定语修饰shirt。4. (2013·成都高二检测)The professor kept telling us that the future ______ to the well-educated and I kept wondering where I ______ of it.
A. would belong; heard B. belonged; had heard
C. was belonged; heard D. was belonging; had heard
【解析】选B。考查时态和语态。句意: 教授经常告诉我们未来属于受过良好教育的人, 我不停地想我在哪儿听到过这句话。belong to(属于)不能用于被动语态和进行时, 因此首先排除C、D两项。根据句意可知, hear这一动作发生在kept之前, 所以第二个空用过去完成时。由此可知选B。5. Jane likes collecting stamps very much. In fact, her interest in it ______ back to her school days.
A. dated B. dates
C. was dated D. is dated

C. weigh D. is weighed
【解析】选C。考查主谓一致、时态和语态。句意: 每块石头重达两吨。weigh后面接数量单位时, 是不及物动词, 相当于系动词, 不能用于被动语态。此处主语是stones, 故选C。【知识拓展】
系动词weigh和measure
weigh和measure不仅是实义动词还可作系动词, 后面接数量和重量、丈量单位。此时不能用于被动语态。例如:
The baby weighed7pounds when she was born.
这个婴儿出生时重7磅。
The room measures over six feet in width.
这间房子宽为6英尺。7. Your children ______ to try new things, but you’d better not push them too hard.

A. get paid B. got paid
C. have paid D. had been paid
【解析】选A。考查时态和语态。句意: 妈妈, 我想知道你是否能借给我几美元。星期五发工资时我会还给你。when引导的时间状语从句中用一般现在时表示将来。pay和主语I之间是被动关系, 所以选A。“get +过去分词”也是被动语态的一种形式。9. —Why don’t you use the mobile phone you bought online a week ago?

A. is repaired B. has repaired
C. is being repaired D. will repair
【解析】选C。考查时态和语态。根据语境可知, 此处指手机掉进水里了, 现在正在被修理, 所以用现在进行时的被动语态。故选C。 10. The thief ______ into our building last night.
A. was noticed break
B. was noticed to break
C. had been noticed break
D. had been noticed to break
【解析】选B。句意: 昨晚这个小偷被看到闯入我们的大楼。根据时间状语last night可知, 此处应用一般过去时。另外, 像notice这样的感官动词, 在主动语态中常用“感官动词+sb. +do sth. ”, 但是当感官动词用于被动语态时, 后面要接带to的动词不定式。故选B。Ⅱ. 用所给词的适当形式填空

Edinburgh Art Festival(EAF)is Scotland’s largest annual celebration of visual art. Uniquely, the festival offers the chance to experience the best contemporary Scottish artists in the context of exhibitions of the most important International artists and movements of the 20th century and historical periods.
Attracting over 250, 000 visits each year, EAF brings together the capital’s leading galleries, museums and artist-run spaces, alongside new public art commissions by leading and emerging artists and special events. Around 90% of the festival is free to attend.

Persons who are overweight should watch their diet carefully in order to lose pounds. The best way to do this is to start a weight control program. At first it is wise to talk with your doctor. He can advise you of the number of calories(卡路里)you should have in your meals each day. He can tell you about exercising while on your diet. A good rule is to lose slowly. A loss of a pound or two is plenty.
Plan meals around foods you know. This means that it is wise to include foods that you are used to and that are part of your regular eating habits. When you have lost the weight you wish, simple items can be added to your diet so that you can maintain the weight you want. While you are dieting, try to build a pattern of eating that you can follow later to maintain your desired weight.
When dieting, choose low-calorie foods. Avoid such items as fats, fried food, sweets, cakes, cream and soft drinks. Try to take coffee and tea without sugar or cream. Snacks can be part of your diet. For example, a piece of fruit or a simple dessert saved from mealtime can be eaten between meals.
Keep busy! This way you will not be tempted to go off the diet. Make full use of opportunities to exercise. Try walking instead of riding whenever possible. Happy dieting!

根据短文内容, 从下框的A~F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。
A. Structure of a hurricane
B. Preparing for a hurricane
C. How hurricanes move
D. How hurricanes start
E. Hurricane names
F. Hurricane damage
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are gigantic tropical storms that can be hundreds of kilometers wide. They bring along very strong winds and a lot of rainfall. They often cause flooding near the coasts and sea levels rise.
1.
Hurricanes are born over tropical oceans, usually during late summer and early autumn. They need two things to get them started: heat and moist air. During the summer the ocean surface heats up and warm moist air starts to rise. Cool air sinks down to replace it. This creates an area of low pressure. The rotation of the earth creates winds around the center of such a low-pressure area. In the northern hemisphere the air moves counter clockwise, in the southern part clockwise. Such a system is called a cyclone. When warm air rises, it cools and creates clouds. Soon, thunderstorms form and it starts to rain.
All hurricanes begin as cyclones but not all cyclones become storms or hurricanes. Some die out a few days after they start. They don’t have enough energy to become a hurricane. When winds are stronger than 119 km an hour a storm officially becomes a hurricane.
2.
The center of a hurricane is called the eye, a calm area with little rainfall. It is about 30 to 50 km wide. Inside the eye the sea can rise up to one meter because the air moves up. The eye wall is around the eye. This is an area of thunderstorms, rain and the strongest winds—up to 300 km an hour. Then come long bands of rain clouds that are curved towards the center of the hurricane.
3.
In the northern hemisphere hurricanes normally move in a westward direction and then they turn north and northeast. Their path takes them away from the warm tropical water of the equator. When hurricanes move over colder water or over land they lose a lot of their energy. They slow down and as time goes on, they disappear. In the southern hemisphere their path leads them to the south and southeast.
4.
When a tropical storm forms over the Caribbean Sea it gets a name. Every year the first storm of the season is given a name that starts with the letter A, the second storm gets a name starting with B and so on. Years ago only women’s names were used for tropical storms. Today male and female names alternate—for example, the first storm is named Alexandra, the second one Billy, then Catherine etc. Each year new names are used so that you can connect a storm to a certain year.
5.
Hurricanes are causing more and more damage throughout the Gulf Region, mainly because the population is constantly growing. Many things can be done to protect yourself and your property during a hurricane: Keep emergency supplies of food and water; keep a battery-powered radio ready in case the power goes out. Listen to the instructions you get; keep the gas tank of your car full, in case you have to leave quickly; protect your house by nailing plywood over the windows and doors. Tie down loose objects; find out which roads are best to take you away from the storm; leave your house as soon as you are ordered to evacuate, etc.

该句的主句部分为they were continuing their own African traditions, 两个破折号之间的部分为对前面内容的解释说明, custom后跟which引导的定语从句, they thought为插入语。【名师点津】 定语从句中的插入语
在关系词的后面经常有一些插入语, 如I/they think/believe/suppose/expect, of course, as a matter of fact等。因为这些插入语, 有些学生不知道定语从句中缺少关系代词还是关系副词。做这样的题的关键是把插入语去掉后再看定语从句中缺少什么成分。①It is the third time that she has won the race, which, as a matter of fact, has surprised us all. 这是她第三次赢得比赛了, 事实上这让我们大家都很惊讶。

A. who B. which C. what D. that
【解析】选B。考查定语从句。句意: 玛丽对待杰克比对其他人好的多, 当然, 这使得其他所有人心烦。分析句子结构可知逗号后是一个非限制性定语从句, 解题时, 把插入语of course去掉, 可以判断定语从句中缺少主语。which指代前面句子的内容。1. relaxing adj. 使人放松的; (指气候)使人无精打采的; 使人懒洋洋的

Dear Peter,
I’d like to tell you something about the Chinese Spring Festival this time.
It happens at the beginning of the lunar New Year and lasts15days. It has been said that it is a combination of the Western Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year.
Preparations usually begin a month before the date of the Chinese New Year, similar to the Western Christmas. People start buying presents, decoration materials, food and clothing. Besides, before the New Year, Chinese houses are cleaned from top to bottom. During the festival, the main color is red, which means happiness and richness. All the family members usually get together at home, wearing new clothes and enjoying all kinds of delicious food and the warmth of home.
I look forward to your coming in the next Spring Festival.
Yours,

阅读理解
A
Brighton is in the county of East Sussex, on the South coast of England. Situated between the English Channel and the South Downs, Brighton is 90 km from London. Brighton’s nearby neighbor, Hove, is seen by some as a more desirable location than Brighton and it is often referred to by locals as “Hove, actually”.
Brighton is a small city but there’s probably as much going on here as anywhere in the country except London. Brighton has numerous entertainment facilities, which additionally serve a considerable business conference industry. There’s a huge range of entertainment venues, including comedy at the Brighton Komedia, world music, opera and ballet at the Brighton Dome, jazz at the Joogleberry, top stars at the Brighton Centre and pre-West End shows at the Theatre Royal. The live music scene is also alive and well with several bands originating from the Brighton area going on to have commercial success in recent years.
Every year in May, Brighton hosts the “Brighton Festival”—the largest arts festival in England. Brighton’s theatres, concert halls, streets and some of the city’s most extraordinary venues host an array of art, entertainment and extravaganza(盛大表演). The earliest feature of the festival, “Open Houses”—homes of artists and crafts people, are opened to the public as galleries and usually sell the works of the inhabitants and their friends.
Students at the two universities in the area give the city a youthful vitality(活力), and in the summer, thousands of young students from all over Europe gather in the city to attend language courses. In addition to the usual coastal attractions, vacationers are drawn to the city’s Georgian architecture, trendy shops, and fine restaurants. Points of interest also include the Edwardian Preston Manor, the ornate Royal Pavilion, the engaging Sea Life Center, and a variety of museums and art galleries.

Every spring scores of people flock to the Buzzard Festival(秃鹫节)at Hinckley, Ohio. They come to watch for buzzards. Most would be glad just to take a look at a buzzard. If they do see one of these “flying garbage cans”, it will probably be circling high in the sky. From there it can watch the ground for signs of the waste and the dead animals on which it feeds.
The buzzard is the ugliest bird in the United States. In fact, it may well be the ugliest bird in the world. It has a small, bare, pink head. Its thick body is covered with dark, rough feathers.
In spite of its looks, the buzzard is important to the people of Hinckley. It is their first sign of spring. After a winter in the south, buzzards return to their homes in the north. In the Hinckley area, they always return on March 15. No one knows why. But they have come back to Hinckley Ridge on that day, sure as clocks work, for at least forty years.
The excitement starts in February. By the middle of March it has reached a high peak. Bets are placed. Prizes go to the person who sees the first buzzard. Radio stations and newspapers tell of the coming festival. And on the weekend after March 15 the people of Hinckley hold their Buzzard Festival.
The people come and look around. They chat. They eat their fill of pancakes and sausages. Then they drive past Buzzard’s Roost on Hinckley Ridge.
A lot of them stop near the road at the stand set up to give information to visitors. There they can hear, from a recording, the main facts about the buzzard. They can see a stuffed buzzard. They can look at some pictures taken of buzzards in other years. With good luck and a strong pair of field glasses, they may sight one or two live buzzards high in the sky.
Buzzards may be ugly. They may be “flying garbage cans”. But in Hinckley they are just as welcome as the swallows in Capistrano, California. It would be a sad spring indeed if the buzzards ever failed to come back to Hinckley Ridge.
6. A good title for this story would be .
A. The Hinckley Buzzard Festival
B. Buzzard, the Ugliest Bird
C. Why the Buzzard Has a Pink Head
D. The Return of “The Garbage Can”
7. The buzzard is called the “flying garbage can” because it .
A. is ugly
B. eats waste and dead animals
C. looks like a garbage can
D. collects rubbish on the ground
8. The surprising thing about Hinckley’s buzzards is that .
A. they spend the winter in the south

My mother loves flowers. As soon as warm weather comes around, you will find her planting, watering and weeding over everything. For many years we lived next door to each other, and she spent as much time in my garden as she did in her own. After the flowers became plentiful each summer, she would cut colorful bouquets(花束)to enjoy inside the house—both hers and mine. I would often come home from work and find a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers on my coffee table.
Shortly before Christmas one year, a local flower shop offered a bouquet a month special. It seemed to be a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had given me through the years.
After the holidays, in early January, I drove her to the flower shop to pick up her first month’s bouquet. The small fresh colorful bouquet would hardly fill a small vase.
I was so embarrassed. However, after we returned home, she began to arrange the flowers she had received. “Mom, I’m sorry, ”I told her. “I can’t believe how skimpy that bouquet is. ”She looked at me and smiled. “It’s okay, ”she said. “It allows me to better enjoy the beauty of each one. ”
Mom’s words helped me to realize something bigger and more important-when we have too many good things, we often fail to enjoy the beauty of each one. Thanks, Mom, for helping me understand that less is sometimes more.
11. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following is TRUE?
A. The author’s mother usually bought flowers for her daughter.
B. The author used to buy some fresh flowers on her way home.
C. The author’s mother put fresh flowers on the author’s coffee table.

D. Considering things in other ways.
15. Which word can be used to describe the author’s feeling when she saw the small bouquet?

一是介词与先行词之间的关系, 如上面①②中, at. . . temperature是固定搭配, 表示“在……的温度”。of表示所属关系, both of the two novels指这两部小说。
二是根据句意, 确定定语从句中动词与介词的搭配。上面③中return to表示“回到, 恢复到”, 是固定搭配。【即学活用】完成句子。

第三部分 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)
A
Boxing Day(节礼日)is the day after Christmas, a public holiday in most countries in the Commonwealth. It originated as a day for giving gifts to employees and poor people.
Boxing Day, also known as the Feast of St. Stephen, originated in England in the middle of the nineteenth century. It originated as a holiday for members of the merchant class to give boxes containing food, fruits, clothing or money to employees or servants. The gifts were an expression of gratitude, similar to the bonuses(奖金, 红利)for the employees today. Because these gifts are usually placed in boxes, people give the holiday its name—“Boxing Day”.
Also related to the origin of Boxing Day is the tradition of opening the alms(施舍物, 救济物)boxes placed in churches over the Christmas season. The contents of these boxes were given out among the poor the day after Christmas.
Today, Boxing Day is a holiday in the United Kingdom, Canada and many other Commonwealth nations. It is a time for family and friends to get together. Outdoor sports such as soccer, horse racing and hunting are popular on the holiday. Shopping is a popular Boxing Day activity, and the malls are usually filled with people taking advantage of after-Christmas bargains.
Throughout the Christmas season, many organizations keep the original tradition of Boxing Day alive by donating their time, energy and money to fill the food bank and providing gifts for the poor.
56. Where did Boxing Day come from?
A. The USA. B. The UK.
C. The Netherlands. D. The UN.
57. Why did people call the Feast of St. Stephen Boxing Day?
A. Because the gifts were usually placed in boxes in this holiday.
B. Because people liked boxes.
C. Because employees needed boxes.
D. Because merchants wanted to sell more boxes.
58. Which of the following belongs to the original tradition of Boxing Day?
A. Dating with friends.
B. Buying gifts for lovers.
C. Taking part in all kinds of sports.
D. Helping the poor.
B
One of the traditions which are now a necessary part of Christmas is that of Father Christmas, or Santa Claus. According to the modern legend, he is a magical figure who visits all the children of the world during the night before Christmas Day, leaving presents which they find the next morning. He flies through the night sky in a sledge pulled by reindeer, and enters houses by climbing down chimneys. This strange legend is based on the life of a man called Nicholas, but in fact we know very little about him. Historians think he was a Christian bishop(主教)in Turkey in about 285—350 A. D. One of the stories about him is that he helped three poor girls. No one would marry them because they were so poor. To provide them with money for their weddings, Nicholas secretly dropped some gold coins down the chimney of their house. After Nicholas died, he was made a saint(圣人)by the church. The name Santa Claus thus comes from St Nicholas. His feast day was celebrated in December, and parents started giving their children secret presents from St Nicholas. Over the years, this custom became part of our Christmas traditions.
Recently, a psychologist has claimed that Father Christmas is the perfect fantasy for children. According to Professor Anthony Clare, children love the character of Father Christmas because he is like an ideal father: he loves children and gives them presents, but he never criticizes them, is never angry, and children do not even need to thank him for the presents. Other writers, however, point out that Father Christmas can be a frightening character to some children. Jane Bidder says that some children are terrified of this fat, bearded old man. It can certainly confuse many children. As parents, we warn our children to be careful of strangers and never let them into the house, and yet we tell children that a strange man will come into their bedroom at night! Some children can become very worried about this idea and fear that he is a kind of burglar.
Most children, however, understand from their parents and from the media that Father Christmas is basically a benign character, and look forward to his annual visit with joy and excitement.
59. The main point of the first paragraph is that .
A. Father Christmas is an important part of Christmas
B. the tradition of Father Christmas will die out
C. Father Christmas is a magical figure who can fly
D. the legends about Father Christmas are not true
60. Why does the writer mention the story about St Nicholas helping three poor girls?
A. To show us that historians know very little about him.
B. To explain why parents give secret presents to children.
C. To support the writer’s main point that Father Christmas is based on an untrue story.
D. To explain why we celebrate Christmas in December.
61. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “benign” means .
A. religious B. friendly
C. frightening D. unreal
62. The best title for this passage would be .
A. Is Father Christmas Dangerous
B. The True History of St Nicholas
C. The Legend of Santa Claus
D. The Traditions of Christmas
C
The iPhone, the iPad, each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(时尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i”—and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer—which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet—adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear—popular in the US and UK—that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of London’s Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.
In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.
Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.
But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPad, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition, ”he says.
“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability. ”adds Thorne.
Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.
Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.
But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared.
63. People use iPlayer to .
A. listen to music
B. make a call
C. read newspapers
D. watch TV programs online
64. We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is aimed at .
A. old readers B. young readers
C. fashionable women D. engineers
65. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are .
A. portable
B. environmentally friendly
C. advanced
D. recyclable
66. We can conclude from the last paragraph .
A. nothing will disappear
B. people will lose interest in things fashionable now
C. people will not change their taste
D. fashionable things are all advanced and modern
D
Internet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.
Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who were online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.
The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized(假设). Faceless, bodiless “virtual”(虚的)communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
“But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology, it’s about how it is used, ”says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study’s sponsors(发起人). “It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology. ”
67. What’s the finding of the research undertaken at Carnegie Mellon University?
A. People spend more time on the Internet now.
B. People spend less time with their families and friends now.
C. The Net proves socially healthier than television.
D. Internet use may cause a drop in psychological health.
68. What had the researchers expected before the research?
A. The Net would account for the drop in psychological health.
B. Internet use would improve social health.
C. Internet use would have nothing to do with social health.
D. Spending much time on the Internet would make people feel bad and lonely.
69. What does Christine Riley, the psychologist, suggest?
A. It’s necessary to take social factors into account in designing applications and services for technology.
B. It’s important to tell the users how to design and apply the technology.
C. Compared with social factors, the technology itself has more influence on the Internet users.
D. No social factors should be considered in applications and services for technology.
70. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?
A. How to Use the Internet
B. Disadvantages of the Internet
C. Social Factors and the Internet
D. Internet May Cause Bad Feelings

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
71 It makes people suffer a lot from it. Why can’t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds there. You never know which one you will get. 72
When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. 73 You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.
74 In China and some other countries, for example, some people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms(症状)of colds.
There is one interesting thing to note—some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in your body longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it and kill it. 75 There is a joke, however, on taking medicines when you have a cold.

Text 10
I always dreamed of opening my own restaurant. I always loved cooking. So when it came time for college, I knew that the cooking institute was definitely the place for me, although a lot of my friends went to study computer and my father wanted me to study science. And when I graduated, I couldn’t wait to get started. Well, that was probably my first mistake. I didn’t go slowly. I picked a building for my restaurant in a residential neighbourhood. I took great effort in decoration. But the parking in the neighbourhood was really difficult. I didn’t have enough regular customers, because people didn’t really drive by and see it. At first, I thought it was great not to have any competition, but I realize now that another restaurant or two would have brought people into the area. Another mistake was that I wanted to serve only the best and use organic food. Well, the problem with that was I had to charge a lot of money for the meals. That didn’t help business either. If only I had known then what I know now.
答案: 1~5.CAABB 6~10.CBAAC 11~15.ABABA 16~20.BABAB
21. 【解析】选C。考查冠词。第一个空填the, 特指2013诺贝尔文学奖; 第二个空填the, 属于the+序数词, 特指第13位。
22. 【解析】选D。考查非谓语动词。答句句意: 没什么, 昨晚他只是熬夜准备论文了。此处preparing作伴随状语, prepare和句子主语He之间是主动关系。
23. 【解析】选B。考查动词辨析。句意: ——请再说一遍好吗? ——我讲话时你一定走神了, 是不是? wonder想知道; wander漫步, 走神; walk走; speak说。
24. 【解析】选A。考查关系词。句意: 在公交车上, 我遇到了一个学生, 我认为他是你弟弟。根据句意和句子结构可知, 此处 I thought was your brother是定语从句, 修饰a student。从句中I thought是插入语, 把插入语去掉后, 就可以看出此处缺少主语, 指代学生, 所以用关系代词who。干扰项是B项, 有些学生会误认为thought后面缺少宾语。
【知识拓展】
who/whom/which引导的定语从句中的插入语
who/whom/which引导的定语从句中有插入语, 而且插入语后也不用逗号分开时, 很难区分它是插入语还是定语从句中的主谓结构。
试比较: Mary is a girl who I believe is honest.
Mary is a girl whom I believe to be honest.
很明显, 在前一个句子中, 定语从句who I believe is honest中I believe是插入语, 因为去掉后, 语法或意义均成立, who在句中作主语, 不能换用whom; 而在后一个句子中, 不能把定语从句whom I believe to be honest中的I believe看作插入语, 因为去掉I believe后不符合语法, 所以I believe不是插入语, 而是定语从句中的主谓结构, whom作believe的宾语, to be honest作宾语whom的补足语。
又如: They pointed out the damage which they supposed had been done by last night’s storm.
该句是复合句, 其中定语从句which they supposed had been done by last night’s storm中的they supposed为插入语, had been done是定语从句的谓语动词。
根据以上的例句可知, 在定语从句中的插入语通常是I think/believe/suppose等这样的结构。
25. 【解析】选C。考查固定句型。句意: 没有必要告诉他这个消息, 他已经知道了。there’s no need to do sth. 表示“没有必要做某事”。
26. 【解析】选A。考查动词辨析。句意: 我打算把我的假期延长到下个星期天。extend延长; impress给……留下印象; expand膨胀; contact联系。
27. 【解析】选D。考查pretend的用法。pretend后面接动词不定式。pretend to do表示“动词不定式中的动作发生在将来”; pretend to have done表示“动词不定式中的动作已发生”。此处指假装没有听到我的问话, 所以用动词不定式的完成式。
【变式训练】
I was nervous and pretended not , in order to leave a nice first impression on the interviewer.
A. to be B. be C. being D. been
【解析】选A。考查pretend的用法。pretend后面接动词不定式。故选A。
28. 【解析】选B。考查动词短语。句意: 如果你用茶水冲咽药片, 这会减轻药效。walk off散步消食; wash down冲咽; walk into不意落入; wash away冲走。
29. 【解析】选B。考查非谓语动词。句意: 如果你想减肥, 你应该有一个只是由水果和一些绿色蔬菜组成的食谱。consist of由……组成。consist of不能用于被动语态和进行时; 当consist of作定语时, 只能用其v. -ing形式。
30. 【解析】选D。考查动词辨析。句意: 为了能在网上预订到火车票, 我已经盯着屏幕三个小时了。此处动词不定式表示目的。
31. 【解析】选C。句意: 据说在山上的某个山洞里藏着许多金银财宝。根据句意可知应用被动语态, hide的过去分词为hidden, 故选C项。
32. 【解析】选B。考查连词。句意: 因为严重的大气污染袭击中国东北部, 一些主要的高速公路已经关闭。根据句意可知, 此处表示原因, 故选B。
33. 【解析】选A。考查介词。on end连续地, 竖着; put. . . into prison把……关进监狱。由此可知选A。
34. 【解析】选B。考查名词辨析。句意: 微笑可能表示爱或礼貌。它也可能隐藏真正的感情, 所以它会引起文化之间的困惑。freedom自由; confusion困惑; memory记忆; celebration庆祝。
35. 【解析】选B。考查情景交际。句意: ——辛辣的食物怎么样? ——很好。我非常喜欢。A项表示“我不同意”; B项表示“我非常喜欢”; C项表示“由你决定”; D项表示“你明白了”。
【知识拓展】
做对情景交际题的关键
1. 仔细体会语境, 注意语境需符合英语表达习惯, 不要受汉语思维影响。
2. 甄别四个选项, 了解它们的用法。例如:
—Which one of these do you want?
— . Either will do.
A. I don’t mind B. I’m sure
C. No problem D. Go ahead
【解析】选A。考查情景交际。句意: ——在这些中你想要哪一个? ——我不介意。任意一个都行。I don’t mind我不介意; I’m sure我肯定; No problem没问题; Go ahead请说吧/做吧。根据Either will do. 可知, 说话者不介意。故选A。

Dear Li Ming,
I know you are now having trouble communicating with others, and you may often feel lonely. That’s because you are new here and people don’t know about you. But I think you can make it if you can follow the advice below.
First, you should take an active part in the discussions and show your own opinion about the matters, and at the same time, learn to listen to other people’s views. Second, you should learn about your classmates’ likes and dislikes. Then you can have much in common with them. This way, you can get to know more different people and you can also take part in some activities and I can introduce you to others. With time going on, people will know you better and will like to make friends with you if you can do as the above.
Best regards!
