【解析】
【详解】考查交际用语。句意：——你能把架子上的书递给我吗？——当然，给你。A. never mind没关系；B. take it easy不紧张；C. here you are给你；D. help yourself随便吃。根据Of course可知，答应把书递给说话人，因此C项正确。故选C。

—There are many ways. The most important is to have a careful plan.
A. work out B. look out C. hand out D. break out
【答案】A
【解析】

3. ______ for two days, Steve managed to finish his report on time.
A. To work B. Worked C. To be working D. Having worked
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：已经工作了两天，Steve按时地完成了他的报告。根据句中谓语managed可知，设空处应该使用非谓语动词，work与主语Steve之间是主动关系，同时又先于managed to finish，故应该使用现在分词的完成式作状语。故选D。

A. can’t B. dare not C. needn’t D. may not
【答案】C

【解析】
【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：这个作者在书中想要表达的是对她家人的爱和关心。分析句子结构可知，此空引导主语从句，从句中缺少express的宾语，表示“……的东西”，所以用连接代词what引导，故选A。

A. confident B. anxious C. intelligent D. responsible
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：尽管学生们准备得很好，但在考试前感到焦虑是正常的。A. confident自信的；B. anxious焦虑的；C. intelligent聪明的；D. responsible负责的。根据后文“before the examination”指在考试前感到焦虑。故选B。

10. —The old songs always _________ me of my childhood.
—I have the same feelings.
A. explain B. remember C. remind D. hurry
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：—这些老歌总是使我想起我童年。—我也有相同的感觉。A. explain解释；B. remember记得；C. remind使想起；D. hurry匆忙。根据后文“me of my childhood”可知，应是“使我想起我的童年”之意，所以remind sb. of sth.意为“使某人想起某物”，为固定短语符合语境。故选C

At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断) with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”
She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braile. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problem, why should I ever give up
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words, “See what you can do when you keep trying ”
41 What problem did the author meet when he was in class
A. He didn’t like the teacher. B. He was not fond of literature.
C. The classroom was too noisy. D. He couldn’t focus his attention in class.
42. What can we learn about Louis Braile from the passage
A. He managed to cure his blindness.
B. He got a good education at school.
C. He made an invention which helped the blind.
D. He couldn’t see and read for the whole life.
43. What’s Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author in the classroom
A. She encouraged him. B. She looked down on him.
C. She hurt him. D. She was angry with him.
44. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. The author couldn’t read. B. The author overcame his difficulty.
C. The author gave up finally. D. The author got a low grade.
45. What can we learn from the passage

C
Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes. So the city began a project to improve the situation.
Under the Velib project (‘Velib’ comes from velo liberty, or ‘bicycle freedom’) people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only ?1 a day or ?29 a year! The bicycles are heavy (25kg), and they are all gray and have baskets. There are about 20, 000 of them in the city, and around 1, 450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!
Paris is not the first city to have a project like this. But not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won’t use a bicycle —they’ll still use their cars.”
A city spokesman said, “The bicycle project won’t solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.”
46. What can we learn about the Velib project
A. Its bikes have no baskets. B. Its bikes are light and colorful.
C. It aims to make traveling easier. D. It owns more stations than the subway.
47. If you use a Velib for 1 hour, you should pay___________.
A. Free. B. ?1. C. ?29. D. ?30.
48. Why do some people disagree with the Velib project
A. The cost is rather high. B. It’s hard to find a Velib station.
C. It’s not suitable for a long journey. D. The distance between two Velib stations is long.
49. What docs the underlined word “fume” in the first paragraph mean
A. position. B. smoke. C. quality. D. loss.
50. What’s the city spokesman’s attitude towards the bicycle project
A. Worried. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.
【答案】46. D 47. B 48. C 49. B 50. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在巴黎一种新的自行车骑行项目，鼓励人们为了环境和自己的身体健康，多骑自行车。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations (所以Velib车站比298个地铁站要多得多)”可知，Velib项目的自行车车站要比地铁站多得多。故选D。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only ?1 a day or ?29 a year! (骑自行车的前半小时是免费的，但如果30分钟后不还，你就得付钱。但是每天只要1欧元，一年只要29欧元！)”可知，骑自行车一个小时，需要付费1欧元，因为半小时内是免费的，超过半小时需要付费。故选B。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“But not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won’t use a bicycle - they’ll still use their cars.” (但并不是所有人都认为这是个好主意。一个巴黎人说:“这些自行车只用于短途旅行。如果人们想要穿越城市，他们不会使用自行车，他们仍然会使用汽车。”)”可知，不同意Velib项目的人是因为这些自行车仅仅适用于短期旅途，不适用长途旅行。故选C。
【49题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第一段中“Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution (像所有的大城市一样，巴黎也有交通问题：大量的汽车，大量的交通堵塞和大量的污染)”可知，这种污染来自于汽车的烟或废气，所以划线词的含义是“烟或废气”。A. position位置；B. smoke烟；C. quality质量；D. loss损失。故选B。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句话“The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too. (自行车也可能帮助人们过一种更健康的生活)”可知，spokesman对自行车的骑行的态度是积极的。故选B。

Marga Allen might be around 93 years old. However, she wouldn’t put her feet up. Every week, she leads a 90-minute fitness class in her community for her ladies, and the youngest of them is 60. The class is a mixture of Scottish dancing, line-dancing and routine. “I want to make it fun for them,” says Marga , “I’ve been teaching classes since 1965.” At that time, 8 ladies attended her class, but now there are as many as 18.
And when Marga isn’t out, she is a writer of poetry. She has written 6 books and is now going on a seventh. “I write in the evenings, about anything and everything,” say Marga. In writing about her life, Marga isn’t short of materials. Born in the 1920s, Marga was a gifted pianist from a young age and even won a scholarship to the Royal College at the age of 14. Marga stopped work as a railway worker when she had the first child. Then she was a volunteer of the Red Cross for more than 40 years.
She now has four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; the youngest of them is just six-month old. In spite of her astonishing activity level for her age, Marga says that loneliness is the concern of society and that all the things she does still don’t fill up her time.

At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断) with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”
She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braile. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problem, why should I ever give up
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words, “See what you can do when you keep trying ”

Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes. So the city began a project to improve the situation.
Under the Velib project (‘Velib’ comes from velo liberty, or ‘bicycle freedom’) people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only ?1 a day or ?29 a year! The bicycles are heavy (25kg), and they are all gray and have baskets. There are about 20, 000 of them in the city, and around 1, 450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!
Paris is not the first city to have a project like this. But not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won’t use a bicycle —they’ll still use their cars.”
A city spokesman said, “The bicycle project won’t solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.”
46. What can we learn about the Velib project
A. Its bikes have no baskets. B. Its bikes are light and colorful.
C. It aims to make traveling easier. D. It owns more stations than the subway.

Marga Allen might be around 93 years old. However, she wouldn’t put her feet up. Every week, she leads a 90-minute fitness class in her community for her ladies, and the youngest of them is 60. The class is a mixture of Scottish dancing, line-dancing and routine. “I want to make it fun for them,” says Marga , “I’ve been teaching classes since 1965.” At that time, 8 ladies attended her class, but now there are as many as 18.
And when Marga isn’t out, she is a writer of poetry. She has written 6 books and is now going on a seventh. “I write in the evenings, about anything and everything,” say Marga. In writing about her life, Marga isn’t short of materials. Born in the 1920s, Marga was a gifted pianist from a young age and even won a scholarship to the Royal College at the age of 14. Marga stopped work as a railway worker when she had the first child. Then she was a volunteer of the Red Cross for more than 40 years.
She now has four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; the youngest of them is just six-month old. In spite of her astonishing activity level for her age, Marga says that loneliness is the concern of society and that all the things she does still don’t fill up her time.
Whenever she gets lonely or down, she picks up the phone and chats with friends, which makes her in high spirits. “I miss people most of all. But a lot of people are lonely, and I’d love to help them all.”
