Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, and then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

If the crust (外壳) of the earth were not pretty solid (坚固的), it would be shaking about and moving up and down frequently. However, there are places in the rocks of the earth's crust where it isn't strongly held together — where faults exist. Along the faults, one rock might push against another with great force. The energy is changed to shaking in the rocks, so they begin to shake and we have an earthquake!
The most famous one in North America was the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Seven hundred people died and property (财产) damage amounted to about $425,000,000. The greatest destruction came from the fires that followed the quake.
One of the most famous earthquakes in Europe took place in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1755. The city was destroyed and at least thirty thousand people were killed. In 1908, in Calabria and Sicily, a quake killed about seventy-five thousand people. In 1915, in central Italy, hundreds of towns and villages were damaged and thirty thousand people were killed.
Two great earthquakes that caused great damage in Asia took place in Tokyo, Japan, and in Gansu Province in China. The Tokyo quake of 1923 killed more than one hundred thousand people and destroyed the city and the city of Yokohama, too. The Chinese quake in 1920 covered more than three hundred square miles and killed about two hundred thousand people.

How to be Prepared
Electricity, water, gas and telephone may not be working after an earthquake. The police and fire department are likely to be tied up. You should be prepared to take care of yourself for at least three days, preferably for a week.
This list can also be applied to other disasters, such as floods or wildfires.

During an Earthquake
If you are indoors, stay there. Get under and hold onto a desk or table, or stand against an interior wall. Stay away from exterior walls, glass, heavy furniture, and stay away from windows and outside walls and do not use the elevator.
If you are outside, get into the open, stay into the open, stay away from buildings, power lines or anything else that could fall on you.
If you are driving, move the car out of traffic and stop, avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses. Try to get clear of trees, light posts, signs and power lines.
If you are in a crowded public place, avoid panicking and do not rush for the exit. Stay low and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms.
After an Earthquake
If the phone is working, only use it in case of emergency. Likewise, avoid driving if possible to keep the streets clear for emergency vehicles.
Be aware that items may fall out of cupboards or closets when the door is opened, and also that chimneys can be weakened and fall with touch. Check for cracks and damage to the roof and foundation of your home.
Listen to the radio for important information and instructions. Remember that aftershocks,_sometimes large enough to cause damage in their own right, generally follow large quakes.
If you leave home, leave a message telling friends and family your location.

First Day at School
It was my first day at school in London and I was half－excited and half－frightened. On my way to school I wondered, what questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers：“I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven't lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It's about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.”I also wondered if it was the rule for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.
No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say“hello”， but no one spoke to me. My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I_didn't_stand_out_there,_either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens, so he asked several boys if they knew Dickens' birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said：“Timbuktu” and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said：“Portsmouth” and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn't make me very popular, of course.“He thinks he's clever，”I heard Brian say.
After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian's team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.
“He's big enough and useless enough，” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.
As the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right, I threw myself down quickly and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were grazed and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.
“Do you want to join my gang (team)？”he said.
At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.

Earthquake Safety Tips
On May 12, 2008, a big earthquake hit Wenchuan, Sichuan Province. Thousands of people died and many more were injured. Why are there earthquakes?
Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. The surface of the earth has many plate pieces (板块). These plates are always moving. When two plates move past each other, there is an earthquake. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. They often happen near the mountains, too.
Scientists are working hard to find out more about earthquakes. They try to predict (预测) them, but it's very hard.
Do you know how to get ready for an earthquake? Do you know what to do during an earthquake? Here are some tips you should follow.
What to do before an earthquake
Keep a supply of food，water and some things for first aid. You should make sure you have two bottles of water, a packet of biscuits (饼干), a clean towel (毛巾), a few band-aids (创可贴), a radio and a flashlight (电筒) at home.
What to do during an earthquake
If you are inside：
★ Stay where you are. Quickly move under a strong desk, or along a wall. This will protect you from falling things.
★ Don't stand near windows.
★ Turn off your gas, lights and water.
★ Don't get into a lift during an earthquake. If you are in a lift, get out as quickly as possible.
If you are outside：
★ Don't stand near buildings. Things may fall on you.
★ Lie on the ground until the shaking stops.
★ If you are in a car, slow down and drive to a clear place. Stay in the car until the shaking stops.
1．The reason why an earthquake happens is that ________.
A. the surface of the earth is thin
B. the plates of the surface are moving slowly
C. two pieces of the earth's surface move past each other
D. there are too many people on the earth
答案与解析 C 从第二段对地震成因的介绍可知，地震的发生是因为地球两个板块的相互运动。C项正确。
2．During an earthquake, you should do the following EXCEPT ________.
A. turn off the lights and gas
B. hide under a strong desk
C. make sure you have some food and water
D. get into a lift
答案与解析 D 从What to do during an earthquake一栏中第四条“Don't get into a lift during an earthquake”可知，D项是不可取的。D项为正确答案。
3．You must protect yourself in an earthquake by ________.
A. keeping yourself away from falling things
B. lying on the floor of the room until the shaking stops
C. standing near the window
D. running out of the building
答案与解析 A 根据What to do during an earthquake一栏中第五条“Don't stand near buildings. Things may fall on you.”可知，A项正确。
Ⅳ.阅读理解七选五
Make Your Brain Smarter
You know that eating a balanced diet and getting plenty of exercise help make your body healthy and strong. __1__ Studies show that when the brain is forced to do something new, it creates new neural pathways (神经通路). The more pathways you have, the faster you can think and the better memory you will have. Here are six tips toward a smarter brain.
● Limit your TV viewing
Watching an average TV show requires very little brain power and brings the same result as ignoring physical exercise. __2__ If you watch TV, choose something educational and informative.
● Travel
Traveling to a new country forces you to see and do things in a new way, providing stimulation (刺激) to the brain.
● __3__
As you put things in your shopping cart, total everything in your head. See how close you get to the actual total.
● Read often
As you read, take the time to look up people or places that aren't familiar.
__4__
● Learn a new language
Acquiring a new language involves different learning methods. Learning a language sharpens your brain and helps prevent memory problems in later years.
● Use your non-dominant (非惯用的) hand
If you are right-handed, use your left hand for everyday activities, or use your right hand if you are left-handed. __5__
So get in the habit of challenging your brain, and make yourself smarter!
A. Your brain will become weak just as your muscles do.
B. Doing habitual things in a new way can make your brain create new neural networks.
C. But did you know that there are ways to make your brain healthier and smarter?
D. Add up numbers while shopping
E. Go shopping
F. Reading stretches your brain as you become an expert on the subject.
G. Reading expands your vocabulary if you search for words that you don't know.
答案 1.C 2.A 3.D 4.G 5.B
Ⅴ.语法填空
Mr. Brown was tired of living in the big city __1__ he worked.He wanted to move to the country and live in a house from which he could get to his office in the city early every day.He __2__ (look)for a house when he saw an advertisement in a newspaper one day.The advertisement said that a suitable house in a quiet area was up for sale __3__ a reasonable price，and the house was within a stone's throw of a railway station from which there were frequent __4__ (train)to the big city.

答案与解析
1．where 第一句话中的先行词为the big city，句中缺少地点状语，应用where引导定语从句。故填where。
2．was looking “be doing ... when”，表示从句动作发生的时候，主句主语正在做某事。本句可翻译为“有一天，他正在寻找房子的时候，看见了报纸上的一则广告。”
3．at “at a reasonable price”表示“以合理的价格”。
4．trains 考查名词的单复数。前文是“there were ...”，因此名词“train”用复数形式。
5．what “That's exactly what I need”表示“这正是我所需要的”。what引导表语从句，在从句中作need的宾语。
6．to have “to have a look ...”在这里作目的状语，表示“为了看一看房子”。
7．took 整篇文章的时态是一般过去时。
8．angrily “angrily”是副词，修饰前面的动词“said”。
9．interested “interested”是形容词，“be interested to do”表示“对做某事很感兴趣”。
10．the 前文提到过这份报纸，因此在这里是特指的，用定冠词“the”。

Would you be able to let someone go that you really loved? If you're like most people, that would be pretty hard. In T. A. Barren's Where is Grandpa？， the main character, a little boy, was faced with the same problem.
In the beginning of the story, Grandpa was cool and fun to be around. The little boy loved to be with his grandpa. In fact, they were always going on new and fun adventures (冒险经历). The boy and his grandpa were like best friends. The boy was so lucky to have such a great grandpa.
Later in the story, Grandpa died. The little boy was sad, because he knew that Grandpa was not there beside him. Things were hard for him, because before, his grandpa was always by his side. Now, he was not there anymore. He was gone. The boy must have felt so devastated!
At the end, the boy asked his parents, “Where is Grandpa？” They told him that he was in all of their memories. At that point, the boy changed. Finally, he realized that he still had the memories that he shared with his grandpa; he knew that his grandpa was still with him. He realized just how important memories can be.
This story teaches me that some things in life are hard. When someone dies, T．A. Barren, in his wonderful story Where is Grandpa？， teaches me it is okay because they're still with you in your memories. When I lose someone I care about, I know I can always find them by thinking about the special moments we've shared.

1．What problem was the little boy faced with?
A. He treated his grandpa badly.
B. He made his grandpa angry.
C. He got lost in an adventure.

2．What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Sad. B. Tired.
C. Surprised. D. Bored.
答案与解析 A 词义猜测题。根据第三段的“Grandpa died”和“The little boy was sad, ... Things were hard for him”可知，爷爷的去世让小男孩悲痛欲绝。故此处devastated有“难过；悲伤”之意。
3．Where is Grandpa? is a story about ________.
A. finding the lost grandpa
B. how to become a great grandpa
C. a family's new and fun adventures
D. the love between a grandson and a grandpa
答案与解析 D 推理判断题。文章第一段概述Where is Grandpa？的主人公经历了亲人离世的痛苦；第二、三四段介绍了本书主人公与爷爷的关系、爷爷离世对他的影响、寻找爷爷等情节，由此可推测出本书是关于爷孙之情的故事。
4．Where does this text probably come from?
A. A book review.
B. A student's diary.
C. A parent-child guide.
D. An introduction to a writer.
答案与解析 A 文章出处题。从文章第一段的“In T．A. Barren's Where is Grandpa？”和最后一段的“This story teaches me that some things in life are hard.”可以看出，本文是对T.A. Barren的作品Where is Grandpa？的评论，故本文是一篇书评。

Martin Luther King. Jr. was born in Georgia in 1929. When he was still a boy, Martin learned that his people, the black Americans, were often treated differently from most of their fellow Americans. Many could not attend good schools, get good jobs, or live in nice houses because of the color of their skin. Martin knew that in a free country this was wrong. He wanted to help his black brothers, so he decided to go to school to get good education. He became a minister (牧师) in Montgomery, Alabama. This is where Martin Luther King's “peaceful fight” first began. Dr. King held the belief that the only way people could win their rights was to remain peaceful, even in face of danger. Later Martin Luther King, became a famous lawyer and a great leader of black people who fight for equal rights. In 1963，his efforts led to the Great March (大游行) on Washington, where King delivered his famous speech “I Have a Dream”. Here he raised public concern for the civil rights (民权) movement. Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his achievements and courage.
The whole nation mourned when the terrible event happened on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. Martin Luther King. Jr. was shot. The man who had preached (倡导) nonviolence (非暴力) died violently. But Dr. King's dream can never die. Many Americans are still struggling to make that dream come true. The following is part of his famous speech delivered during the Great March：
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

B. To have a nation where black people and white people are treated equally.
C. To carry on the peaceful revolution.
D. To be elected president of America.
答案与解析 B 从马丁的“I have a dream”的演讲中可知，B项正确。
B
There's a street in Harlem that comes alive every Saturday with the sound of gospel (福音) music. You won't find any church there — just a simple stone house full of teenagers and the woman who draws them in.
Her name is Vy Higginsen, a New York theater producer. Five years ago she created something called “Gospel for Teens”．
If you're thinking that Higginsen thought up this program as a way to save the teens, you'd be wrong. She did it to save the music.
The faces and voices of Gospel for Teens include kids between the ages of 13 and 19 who gather in Harlem each week from all over New York and New Jersey to study the tradition and the art of singing gospel.
Higginsen runs an advanced (高级的) class, but each fall she brings in a new group, putting out a call for auditions (试音) in local papers, on radio, and in churches. She calls them her “beginners”．
Yolanda Howard, age 14, had arrived by subway from the Bronx very early. “I was so happy because I was the first person，” she said.
And she brought along her friend Rhonda Rodriguez. Asked if she was nervous, Rodriguez told Lesley Stahl, a reporter, “I was really nervous.”
“Did they really have to be great in the audition？” Stahl asked Higginsen.
“No，” she replied. “We don't expect them to be great. They're teenagers.”
One girl who auditioned only knew little about music. “That's why we have this school！” said Higginsen.
So she and the teachers she calls music masters — including her own daughter Knoelle — want to accept as many kids as they can.
And that next Saturday, there they were: the 46 kids Higginsen chose as her new beginners, including Yolanda Howard and her friend Rhonda Rodriguez, who thought she wouldn't get in, but Higginsen had decided to give her a chance.
语篇解读 本文是记叙文。Vy Higginsen创建了名为Gospel for Teens的组织，其目的不是为了挽救青少年，而是为了挽救音乐。
5．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. You don't need to know everything!
B. Give nervous kids a chance!
C. Go to the audition!
D. Save the music!
答案与解析 D 标题归纳题。本文围绕Vy Higginsen创建的名为Gospel for Teens的组织展开描述， Vy Higginsen创建该组织的目的不是为了挽救青少年，而是为了挽救音乐。故D项最适合作为本文标题。
6．Gospel for Teens was founded to ________.
A. help kids behave themselves
B. raise money to build a church
C. teach the tradition and the art of gospel music
D. offer kids a chance to meet some new friends
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。根据第四段末的“... to study the tradition and the art of singing gospel”可知答案。
7．According to the text, Vy Higginsen ________.
A. works as a music teacher
B. organizes the audition every year
C. founded Gospel for Teens 13 years ago
D. has a daughter who is under the age of 19
答案与解析 B 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“each fall she brings in a new group, putting out a call for auditions (试音) in local papers, on radio, and in churches”可知答案。
8．By saying “We don't expect them to be great”， Vy Higginsen means ________.
A. few teenagers know how to sing gospel music
B. she helps teenagers to develop their musical talent
C. great teenagers can take advanced classes without auditions
D. teenagers are always too nervous to show their talent in the auditions
答案与解析 B 推理判断题。根据本句话后的“They're teenagers.”及下一段中的“One girl who auditioned only knew little about music. ‘That's why we have this school！’ said Higginsen.”可推测， Vy Higginsen认为青少年不懂音乐很正常，他们开设这个音乐课程的目的就是为了帮助他们培养音乐才能。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to cheat? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out (略去) important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.
For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars！”
This guy is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!
He didn't say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That's called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians (政客) often use this trick. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she tries to get another term. One of her opponents (竞争对手) says, “During Governor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs！” That's true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith's term, the state had increased two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to say that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of cheating happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
1．We may infer (推测) that the author believes people should ________.
A. buy lottery tickets if possible
B. make use of half-truths
C. be careful about what they are told
D. not trust the Yucky Company
答案与解析 C 从第一段可知，有时省略信息的事实也可以给人一个错误的信息画面。C项正确。
2．How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to cheat?
A. One B. Two
C. Three D. Four
答案与解析 C 文章列举了三个例子：买彩票、史密斯政府的失业问题和广告误导。C项正确。
3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Using half truths is against the law.
B. Technically, half truths are in fact lies.
C. Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
D. Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.
答案与解析 D 从倒数第二段可知，虚假广告犯法，误导消费者并不犯罪，九个医生为Yucky公司工作，他们的言论不能证明Yucky药可以很好治疗牙痛，排除A、C两项。第四段最后一句可排除B项；根据第五段最后一句可知，D项正确。
4．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. He's really a big loser!
B. Sometimes the truth can lie as well.
C. Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.
D. It's against the law to make false statements.
答案与解析 B 文章第一段就是文章的中心。B项正确。

After entering high school, you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you.

Friends play a very important part in everyone's life. Friendship usually develops during childhood. New friends are made when you progress through school. Those friends that you make as a student can usually last long. Friends influence your development, maturity (成熟) and sense of responsibility. A familiar expression is “you can tell a lot about a person by knowing who his friends are.” Friendship is based on common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends are likely to be athletic. If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same.
Some people call you their friends for the wrong reason. These people are not really friends. They are only “friends” on the outside, not the inside where it counts. They only want to be your friends if it is to their advantage. True friends are there whether you are rich or poor. It is easy to have many “so-called friends” if you are rich. By this time you should be able to separate your friends into the real or the “false”．
True friends are most special. They are also difficult to find. You can consider yourself very lucky if you have one true friend. This friend is eager to help you whenever necessary. He or she knows you would do the same for them. A true friend is someone you can talk to about any subject or problem. You and your true friend have good understanding of each other. True friends support you, take your side, and build up your confidence.
1．“So-called” friends refer to ________.
A. fair-weather friends
B. those who want to benefit from you
C. the friends who are on the surface only
D. all of the above
答案与解析 D 从第二段可知，A、B、C三项都是“所谓的朋友”。D项正确。
2．Which of the following is NOT true?
A. You should tell true friends from false ones.
B. True friendship is too difficult to find.
C. You can share your joys and sorrows with a true friend.
D. A true friend will stand by you whatever happens.
答案与解析 B 文章第三段第二句“They are also difficult to find.”和B项所述困难程度上有差别。B项为正确选项。
3．The proper title for this article may be “________”．
A. Friendliness B. What Friends Like
C. True Friends D. So-called Friends
答案与解析 C 文章重点在讲真正的朋友。C项正确。
B
When I first entered high school, I knew no one at my school. All my friends in middle school went to other schools. I wanted to make some new friends. However, I was shy and wasn't good at making new friends.
On my first day at school, I looked at others who were walking in groups happily. How I wish I were one of them! I guess I was very lucky then. At lunch in the dining hall, when I was eating at a table alone, a girl came to me. “Excuse me, is this seat taken？” she asked. I immediately shook my head. She smiled and sat down opposite (对面) to me. I felt little awkward and didn't know what to say at all, but I really wanted to communicate with her. It was a good opportunity to make friends with her. When I looked up, I found she was smiling at me. Her smile calmed me down. “I really like this school. It's beautiful, but I don't know anyone here. All my friends went to other schools”， said the girl. Hearing her words, I immediately said, “My friends are not here, either. Can we be friends？” I was surprised. I couldn't believe I would say something like that, and to my surprise, that girl immediately said “Yes”. We both smiled. We became very good friends.
Now it's the beginning of a new term again. Many students may have no friends at their new schools. If you are also as shy as I used to be, please don't be afraid to talk to others. You may get a surprise and make a new friend. After all, others want to make new friends, too.

5．The underlined word “awkward” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”．

6．After the girl sat down opposite to the author, the author ________.
A. immediately shook her hand
B. immediately said something to keep calm
C. wanted to talk with her
D. wanted her to go away at once

It's hard when a best friend isn't around — maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. __1__ You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has his or her friends. __2__
Start by looking around your classroom — think about which kids you'd like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. __3__ Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here？” in the lunchroom. When you're at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too？” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you're feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. __4__ Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help — and pretty soon, you'll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
__5__ But when you see each other, you can share something you didn't have before he or she left: You can introduce him or her to your new friends!
A. What's right for me?
B. But remember, there's always room for more friends.
C. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime.
D. The best way to make friends is to be a friend.

There's no need __9__ (worry) too much, people will know you more very soon and will like to make friends __10__ you if you can do as the above. Just remember, “God helps those who help themselves.”
答案与解析
1．have left 根据this is the first time that sb. have/ has done sth.“某人第一次做某事”的用法可知该空用现在完成时态，填have left。
2．communicating 根据have trouble doing sth. “做某事有麻烦”的用法可知该空填动名词作宾语。
3．because 设空后的从句解释说明前面孤独的原因，故该空填because。that's because ...“那是因为……”。
4．in join in “参加”。
5．carefully 设空处所填词在句中作状语修饰动词短语listen to，应用副词形式，故填careful的副词carefully。

English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Learning English well is very important. Here are some methods that can help you learn English well.
Do a lot of listening. Listen to recordings of your teacher, the radio, TV video cassettes, audio cassettes — anything that you can get your hands on. Just listen to English as much as you can and you will learn a lot.
Every time you learn something new, write it down in a notebook. This will help you remember what you have learned. Buy a notebook and use it only for practicing English.
Try to read English one hour every day. Yes, this difficult, but English has many words, and a good way to enlarge your vocabulary is to read them.
Whenever you have the chance, speak English. This will be hard to do if you don't live in an English－speaking country; however, the Internet provides new chances to practice speaking English through chat rooms and audio－video chat technology. You can also record your voice using a recorder.
Find a few different websites that you can go to daily. Don't pay for instruction over the Internet. Some websites require monthly or yearly fees but they aren't worth it.
Learn from a teacher. If it's possible, you should try to learn from as many different teachers as possible, but at the very least find one teacher and learn from that person.

Children couldn't go to school, most shops were closed, even some farmers were hungry. Some people were made to leave their houses and they had to find the safe places. It was an autumn night. Mr. Backer hadn't any food to eat and went to bed, but he couldn't fall asleep, because he was very hungry. Suddenly he heard a noise in his room. He saw a man looking for something useful there. He said nothing and watched it carefully. At last the man took a few old clothes out of a broken paper box and took them away. He got up from his bed quickly and followed him gently (文雅地), with his quilt on his back. The man didn't find him and went into a small and wet house.

English has surely become the global language. Whenever we turn on the news to find out what's happening in East Asia, or Africa, or anywhere, people are being interviewed and telling us about it in English.
If people look at the facts about the amazing reach of the English language, many would be surprised. English is used in over 90 countries as an official or semi-official language. English is the working language of many international institutes (研究所) as well as of most international research scientists. It is also the language that Indian parents and black parents wish their children to learn. It is believed that over one billion people worldwide are now learning English.
One of the most important causes of the spread of English around the world is that Europeans are willing to accept it as their language. English is spreading from northern Europe to the south and is now the second language in countries such as Sweden, Norway, Netherlands and Denmark. If one visits any of them, it would seem that almost everyone there can talk in English.
Recently, a report said that at the beginning of 2001, English was the most widely known foreign language with 43% of Europeans saying they spoke it. The report also said that with over 89% of the population speaking English, Sweden now has the highest percentage of English speakers. What's more, English is the language rated as most useful to know, and over 77% of Europeans who do not speak English as their first language consider it useful.
6．By writing this passage, the writer mainly wants to tell us ________.
A. why so many people speak English around the world
B. that English has become a language spoken all over the world
C. about the development of English in Europe
D. something about the English-speaking countries

A. That governments have asked their people to learn it in school.
B. That English is the most beautiful language in the world.
C. That Europeans are willing to accept English as their language.
D. That people have to use English in their work.

8．What does the underlined word “rated” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Stood. B. Agreed.
C. Considered. D. Argued.
答案与解析 C 词义猜测题。根据语境以及第四段的“consider it useful”可知， rate在这里意为“认为、看作”。
9．What can we learn from the passage?
A. Black parents don't want their children to learn English.
B. English is used in over 90 countries as an official language.
C. Not all international research scientists speak English at work.
D. English has become the most important language in Sweden.
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。根据第二段的“English is the working language ... as well as of most international research scientists.”可知，并不是所有的国际研究科学人员工作时都使用英语。

I have a rule for travel: Never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions. Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have names. In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat (平坦的). In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: They measure distance by means of time, not miles. “How far away is the post office？” you ask. “Oh，” they answer, “It's about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it？” They don't know.
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn't know the answer to your question. What happens in this situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers, “I don't know.”
People in Yucatan think that “I don't know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
One thing will help you everywhere — in Japan, in the United States, in Greece, in Mexico, or in any other place. You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go in that direction, and you may find the post office!
1．The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. never carry a map for travel
B. there are not many landmarks in the American Midwest
C. there are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world
D. New Yorkers often say, “I have no idea，” but people in Yucatan, Mexico, never say this
答案与解析 C 文章列举了日本、美国中西部、洛杉矶、希腊、纽约等地问路的回答方式，可知C项最符合文意。
2．The passage says, “In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions.” The word “landmarks” means ________.
A. building names
B. street names
C. hotels, marks and bus stops
D. buildings or places which are easily recognized
答案与解析 D landmarks是“地标”的意思。从文章第一段末句中的“the big hotel”，“a fruit market”，“the bus stop”可知， landmarks不是建筑名、街道名。
3．In which place do people tell distance by means of time?
A. Japan.
B. American Midwest.
C. Los Angeles, California.
D. Greece.
答案与解析 C 从第三段可知，在加州的洛杉矶人们用时间来告诉你路程。
4．In the passage, ________ countries are mentioned by the writer.
A. seven B. four
C. eight D. five
答案与解析 B 文中提到了Japan, America, Greece, Mexico四个国家。

I'm a travel addict (旅游迷). I think it is very exciting to go to new places, experience different situations and see unfamiliar things. Here's what I have come up with about why travel is so fascinating.
To start with, whether we know it or not, every day is filled with anxiety about things that we don't need to worry about in the first place. Going to new places is an opportunity to escape from our everyday worries. For example, after a whole day at work, I am often physically and mentally tired and start to worry about things. However, the moment I get on the train or bus to my next destination (目的地) I forget all my tiredness and worries.
Next is one of the most basic concepts in travel: movement. I always take along books to read on my train trips, but in the end, only about five pages or so ever get read, because I just stare out of the window at the things whooshing by. Just the ability to move is exhilarating (令人高兴的). Movement also means that we are going to new places and seeing new things. But why is that important? Because experiencing new situations, people and ideas could help us to learn about new things and grow, especially when we don't have the burden of everyday worries. I have never gone on a trip and come back as the same person; I have always changed and grown through travel.
So take every type of trip you can, at every chance you get, and you will not only experience more of the world, but will become a happier person with a richer set of experiences.
语篇解读 旅行到底有什么迷人之处呢？本篇文章的作者就以自己的亲身经历为我们揭晓答案。
5．The text is mainly about ________.
A. how to have a comfortable life
B. how to become a travel addict
C. why travel is so attractive
D. how to get rich experiences
答案与解析 C 主旨大意题。通过文章第一段“Here's what I have come up with about why travel is so fascinating.”可知本文主要是作者向读者介绍为什么旅行会如此吸引人。故C项正确。
6．Traveling to new places offers all of the following benefits EXCEPT that ________.
A. it helps us to learn new things
B. it makes us happier people
C. it helps us to get more experiences
D. it gives us more chances to read
答案与解析 D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Because experiencing new situations, people and ideas could help us to learn about new things ...”可知，旅行让人学到新的东西，故A项错误；根据最后一段“... and you will not only experience more of the world, but will become a happier person with a richer set of experiences”可知旅行让人变得更快乐而且会获得更丰富的经历。故B、C项错误。根据第三段“... but in the end, only about five pages or so ever get read”可知作者在旅行时读不了多少书，故D项正确。
7．The author develops the text mainly by ________.
A. cause and effect B. order in time
C. order in space D. examples
答案与解析 A 篇章结构题。文章第一段作者提出问题(为什么旅行会如此吸引人)，第二、三段分析了旅行吸引人的原因。最后一段进行总结。故文章通过原因与结果进行发展。故A项正确。
Ⅴ.短文改错
Once, a man got on a bus to New York. Because he did not want to pay, so he hid in the toilet. But a passenger saw her. She tapped the person in front of her on the shoulder and say, “There's a bum (流浪汉) in toilet. Tell the bus driver.” The message was passing on from person to person. But somewhere along the way, it was changed. The bus driver told that there was a bomb in the toilet. He immediate stopped the bus and telephoned the police. When the police came, they told the passengers to get off the bus or stay far away. Then they closed the highway. As a result, a traffic jam of 15 mile long was soon caused. In the help of a dog, the police searched for two hours. Of course they found no bomb.

I wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but that's impossible. For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easy-going and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met.
In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely. The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isn't large and I live better. Non-imported (非进口的) foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can't afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China. But they organized Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education.
When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of China, but we also have the same problems.
When I am asked which country I consider better, China or the US, my answer has always been the same, “We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.”
1．What does the author think of Chinese people?
A. He thinks most Chinese people hardly work.
B. He thinks most Chinese people are proud.
C. He praises most Chinese people a lot.
D. He dislikes most Chinese people.
答案与解析 C 根据文章第一段中的“For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easy-going and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met.”可知，作者谈到了许多中国人的优点，这是对中国人的赞扬。故选C项。
2．What is the author doing in China?
A. He is visiting the places of interest.
B. He is teaching English in a school.
C. He is studying in a college.
D. He is on business.
答案与解析 B 根据文章第二段中的“I teach many students a year, talking to them freely.”可知，他在一所学校教英语。故选B项。
3．What are not cheap in China in the author's opinion?
A. Clothes and shoes made in China.
B. Local foods.
C. Public transportation tickets.
D. Imported foods.
答案与解析 D 根据文章第三段中的“Non-imported foods are cheap.”可知，非进口的食品便宜，这就意味着进口的食品不便宜。故选D项。
4．We can infer from the passage that the author thinks ________.
A. the westerners have got to know China well
B. China's economic miracles have appeared everywhere
C. the progress of China is seldom reported in the US
D. the education in rural areas is never cared about in China
答案与解析 C 根据文章第四段“When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through.”可知，我们在西方读有关中国的报道，如果有也是很少的积极变化。故选C项。
5．In the author's eyes, ________.
A. China is different from the US
B. China is better than the US
C. Americans are richer than Chinese
D. China bears great similarities to the US
答案与解析 A 根据文章最后一段中的“We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.”可知，当我被问起中国和美国哪个更好的时候，我只能说，我们不能说哪个更好或者更坏，我只能说我们是不同的模式。故选A项。

Does failure really exist (存在)?
If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don't have the ability to succeed, then you don't. __1__ The moment you decide to give up or to stop working toward your goals, failure is born.
__2__
Most people give themselves out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Don't do that! __3__ Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.
Don't believe in a clear finish line for goals.
It's a good idea to set a general timeline (时间表), but remember that something will be beyond your control. __4__ If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you'd like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.
Be sure that you don't see difficulties as failures.

A. Never give up yourself.
B. Failure only exists in your own mind!
C. That's exactly how failure makes us fell.

E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.
F. Make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!

Many young Americans do not live with their families, but in apartment blocks where everyone is more or less of the same age. Young people often move away from their home into shared apartments when they leave school. They do their own cooking and cleaning and go to the family home occasionally for the weekend.
Young married couples may move to new places where most people have young children. When they have more money, they may move to another place, where the houses are bigger.
Senior citizens often do not live with their grown-up children. Many live in homes for the elderly. Some live in special communities built for them, where there are no young children and the atmosphere is quiet.
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
When I was 12, all I wanted was a signet (图章) ring. They were the “in” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials (姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being “replaced”. We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything — so most of the “new” stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.
Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. “You'll recognize this one，” she said, smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.
The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.
And it still fits me.
21．The underlined word “in” in the first paragraph probably means “________”．
A. fashionable B. available
C. practical D. renewable (可再生的)
答案与解析 A 由“in”所在句it seemed every girl except me had one可知，几乎每个女孩都有一个，所以“in”意为“流行的；时髦的”。A项正确。
22．When she got the ring back, the writer was about ________.
A. 13 years old B. 15 years old
C. 26 years old D. 28 years old
答案与解析 D 第一段说在作者13岁生日那天妈妈送给她一枚图章指环。第三段末句说两年后作者一家卖掉房子，举家搬走。倒数第二段首句说13年前买房子的那一家人装修房子时找到了那枚指环。13＋2＋13＝28。D项正确。
23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The writer's family moved several times.
B. The writer never stopped looking for her ring.
C. The writer's ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.
D. The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off.
答案与解析 A 从第四段第一句“Years passed, and a couple of moves later”可知，A项正确。从第三段“I gave up and stopped looking for it”可知，B项错误。从倒数第二段末“cleaned up by a jeweler”可知，C项错误。从第三段第二句“I took it off before bed”可知，D项错误。
24．What would be the best title for the passage?
A. My New Ring
B. Lost and Found
C. Lost and Replaced
D. An Expensive Ring
答案与解析 B 文章叙述了作者一枚图章戒指丢失15年后失而复得的故事，B项作文章标题最恰当。
B
How to Study Smarter, Not Harder
Here are some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter, not harder：
Recite As You Study
Reciting — saying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.
Take Fuller Notes
Notes should be in your own words, brief and clear. They should be tidy and easy to read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.
Study the Middle
The best time to review is soon after you've learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.
Sleep on It
Study before going to bed, unless you are very tired. It's easier to remember material you've just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after you've fallen asleep.
Combine Memory and Understanding
There are two ways to remember: by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables, telephone numbers, and math formulas are better learned by rote. Ideas are best learned by understanding.
The more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again.
25．You can notice your mistakes by ________.
A. saying things out aloud
B. taking notes
C. studying the middle
D. sleeping on it
答案与解析 A 从Recite As You Study一栏最后一句中的“help you to notice your mistakes”可知，A项正确。
26．When taking notes, you should ________ to better help you with reading.
A. underline important notes
B. write notes in your own words
C. take down every detail
D. write as quickly as possible
答案与解析 B 从Take Fuller Notes一栏中“Notes should be in your own words”可知，B项正确。
27．The writer advises you to ________ as it is easier for you to remember material.
A. study after a period of activity
B. do some exercise after studying
C. study as soon as you get up
D. study before going to sleep
答案与解析 D 从Sleep on It一栏，可知，D项正确。
28．Which of the following is NOT helpful for your
understanding?
A. Thinking about an idea in different ways.
B. Relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.
C. Reading from the beginning to the end without stop.
D. Going back to what first made you confused and start again.
答案与解析 C 从最后一段第一句可知，A项有帮助；从本段第二句可知，B项有帮助；从文章最后一句可知，D项有帮助。C项为正确选项。
C
It does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out of your day. Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn, grow, develop your strengths, free yourself from past regrets or hurts, and move forward older and wiser. Every day gives you a chance to reinvent (重新审视) yourself. It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life.
Each day is a new beginning and a piece of blank paper. How would you like to create your day? What would you like to paint on it? If you wake up in a negative mind, you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day, and your picture will not show hope, happiness and joy.
If you take each day to think actively, and have a positive intention for how you would like to create your day, how would your life be different? What can daily positive intentions do for you? Every day you will give yourself the gift of an “attitude of gratitude (感恩)”.
Each day is a chance to look at things in a different way. You can experience each day in the beauty of the world — and the beauty of you who are in it! You find yourself changing from “I can't” to “I can”. With a focus on positive intentions, you feel you are full of power and more like a “winner” than a “loser”.
You pay more attention to the present, and will be more likely to live fully in the present each moment of each day. After all, the past is a great place to visit, but you don't want to live there! So how about starting each day taking a moment to think of a positive intention for the day?
29．The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. we should make every day a new start
B. January 1st is the most important day
C. learning is helpful in reinventing ourselves
D. we needn't change ourselves at all
答案与解析 A 每一天都是一个新的开始，每一天都给自己一个重新审视自己的机会。A项正确。
30．If you have daily positive intentions, you will ________.
A. get a positive result
B. have a busy life
C. get gifts from others
D. be a complete loser
答案与解析 A 早上起来有消极的态度，一天都不会有希望、幸福、快乐；而有积极态度则会“full of power and more like a winner”。A项正确。
31．From the passage we can learn that ________.
A. past regrets or hurts can make you older and wiser
B. think actively and you will be a winner, not a loser
C. the present is not where you should live for ever
D. positive intentions for each day are of great help
答案与解析 D A项错在past regrets or hurts，原句为“free yourself from past regrets or hurts”；B项错在will be，原句为“more like a winner”；C项错在not，原文中说“过去”是a great place to visit，而“现在”应该“live fully”。D项正确。

Answer: Many people have asked me this question. __37__ Here I will give you several tips for learning English.
● __38__
First of all, you must want to learn. If you are not interested in learning English, no class will help you and no book will help you. So you have to be honest with yourself. Ask yourself, “Do I really want to learn English？” If you can't answer “yes” to this question, it is better for you to set English aside until you're ready and willing to learn.
● Set goals (目标)．
To learn English well, you must set some goals. __39__ It will also help you to see your progress. Ask yourself, “What are my goals? What areas would I like to improve？” Think about what your goals are, and review once in a while to see that you are making progress toward your goals.
● Practice, practice, and practice.
After you have set your goals, you have a better idea of what you need to practice. Just like the athlete whose goal is the Olympics must train daily, you as a language learner must practice language every day to make progress toward your goal. __40__
A. Want to learn.
B. I think it is not easy to learn it well.
C. Make friends with some Americans online.
D. Reading is a very good way to learn new words.
E. The answers are as different as the people asking the question.
F. The more you practice, the more progress you will make.
G. Having goals will help you remember what areas you want to work on.

62．being 根据句意“我们应该停止生气”可知改空符合stop doing sth.“停止做某事”结构，故该处填动名词作宾语。
63．that 这是一个定语从句，先行词是everything，关系词在句中作宾语，故用关系代词that引导定语从句。
64．happiness 设空处所填词在句中作主语，应用名词形式，故填happy的名词happiness“幸福；快乐”。
65．other 根据句意“许多青少年认为幸福源自考试考得好或别人的夸奖”可知该空填不定代词other。
66．even even if“即使”。
67．a 该空填不定冠词a表泛指。
68．will have if引导条件状语从句时，如从句用一般现在时，则主句用一般将来时。故该空填will have。
69．or 该空前后表选择关系，应用选择连词or。
70．in in a ... way“用……方式”。

M：Last year I was fortunate enough to be invited to cross a desert in southwest 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.
C. He forgot to pick him up.
D. He was too tired to do it.
答案与解析 D 从文章第一段第三句可知，爸爸在工作后非常累，才去叫妈妈去接孩子。D项正确。
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.
D. Everyone can make mistakes.

24．What do you think of the husband?

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、身高等的搭配。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?
Wang Lin
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。

答案与解析
61．with get along... with sth.“某事进展……”。
62．Well get along well with sth.“某事进展顺利”。
63．it find it＋adj.＋to do sth.“发现做某事……”，其中it为形式宾语。

66．in join in“参加”。
67．but 空格前后的两个分句为转折关系，且空格后无逗号，故填but。
68．If if“如果”，引导条件状语从句。

70．order in order to“为了”，表目的。

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.
21．According to the first paragraph, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Forty-two countries speak English.
B. Ireland is a country whose native language is English.

22．In Nigeria, people speak their own language ________.
A. at school B. in the office
C. on TV D. at home
答案与解析 D 根据“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.”可知答案。

B
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50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。

51．C 由下文第52空所在句The night will be very ...可知，应该是下午的晚些时候。

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。

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”。

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
D. how to find a travel partner
答案与解析 D 由文章最后一句“Let's find out how ...”不难推出接下来文章要讲怎样找到一个合适的旅行同伴。

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。

答案与解析
61．finally 所填词在句中作状语修饰动词got，应填副词形式finally“最后”。
62．my make up one's mind to do sth.“决定做某事”。
63．to do prefer to do sth.“更喜欢做某事”。
64．(should) see insist“坚决要求”后接宾语从句，谓语用(should) do形式，should可省略。
65．How/What How/What about sth./doing sth.“(做)某事如何？”
66．the the west“西部”。
67．to stay 该空为不定式作定语，表将来的动作。
68．up put up“搭建(帐篷)”。
69．one 根据句意“我可以借给你一个帐篷”，填one，代指前面的a tent。

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, teens 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。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、缺乏沟通、交流、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

Mr Dawson was an old man with bad temper. Kids dared not go into his yard to __41__ a delicious apple, even off the ground.

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.

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”。
第Ⅱ卷
第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Last Friday a storm hit two villages, destroying fourteen houses. Seven other houses were __61__ badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows.

__69__ was no time for her to take anything. A few minutes later, the roof came down. Soldiers went to the area to help the people __70__ trouble.
答案与解析
语篇解读 一场暴雨袭击了两个村庄，给村民们造成了不少损失。
61．so so＋adv.＋that ...“如此……以至于……”。
62．injuries 分析句子成分可知，该空所填词应作动词receive的宾语，应填名词形式，又因injury为可数名词，空格前无不定冠词，故该空填名词复数injuries。
63．homeless 根据句意可知因暴风雨许多人无家可归，故该空填homeless“无家可归的”。
64．lasted 所给词last在句中作谓语，表过去的动作，又因last“持续”无被动语态，故本空填lasted。
65．when 空格所在句意为“他正和妻子和孩子们在厨房，这时他们听见很大的声音”。when表“这时……”。
66．missing 所填词在本句中作系动词was的表语，意为“不见的”，应填missing。
67．frightened 所填词与safe并列在句中作宾补，指人的状态，应用以－ed形式结尾的形容词，故填frightened“害怕的”。
68．immediately 所填词在句中作状语修饰动词rushed，应用副词形式，故填immediately“立刻；立即”。
69．There There be no time for sb. to do sth.“某人没有时间做某事”。
70．in in trouble“处于麻烦之中”，为固定的介词短语。

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.

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 从第二段可知，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

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45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。

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。
