解析：
分析：1.句意： 这艘救生船被派出去营救正在下沉轮船上的船员。空前是定冠词the，船上又不止一名船员，故填复数名词sailors。
2.句意：有许多人造卫星绕地球旋转。句子结构分析，主句结构There are many artificial satellites完整，后面只能是定语，又由于satellites与orbit是主动关系，故填动词ing形式orbiting。
3.句意：王轩因其在印刷业的科学贡献得到了五百万元的奖励。空前是形容词，根据句意，故填名词achievements。
4.句意：你考试通过了。祝贺你成功！此空在句子开头，且空后是介词on，动词congratulate的固定结构是congratulate sb on sth/doing sth,又因为句子是感叹句，故可知应用名词形成祈使句，故填Congratulations 。
5.句意：此次比赛向业余的和专业的摄影师都开放。此空应与后面形容词professional并列关系，故填形容词amateur。
6.他们很高兴，开会的日期定下来了。此空前是were，后面是宾语从句连接词that，故应填形容词delighted。
7. 句意：爱德华退休了。乔治代替他当该队的队长。句子结构分析，此空处于句子谓语位置，根据前面retired可知应是过去时态，故填replaced。点评：本题考查的是句意的判断和单词的拼写，通过理解句子意思和汉语提示填写正确的单词。

答案:8. to know 9. have won 10. taller than 11. were swimming12 Now that/Since 13. not until
解析：
分析：8.在表达...是第几个干什么的...是，后面须用动词不定式，构成固定结构be the
first/second/...to do sth，故填to know。
9.句子中出现时间状语so far迄今为止，句子谓语动词应用现在完成时态，故填have won
10.根据句子结构分析，需补全的部分做is的表语，根据句意是比较级，故填taller than。
11.根据句意，表达某人过去时间正在做什么就在这时发生什么，故填过去进行时were swimming。
12.句子结构分析，主句you can go on with your work完整，前面只能做状语，由于是一单句，那么只能是状语从句，根据前后逻辑关系选择恰当连词，故填Since/Now that。
13句子结构分析，此句是it’s....that....强调句型，根据句意可判断此句强调了时间状语从句，故填连词词组not until。

五．七选五
Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth.There are hundreds of kinds of sharks.Most are about two metres long.The dogfish shark, however, is less than twenty centimetres in length.A shark has an extremely good sense of smell.It can find small amounts of substances in water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. __48__ Sharks eat fish, other sharks, and plants that live in the ocean.
Sharks grow slowly.About forty per cent of all sharks lay eggs. __49__ Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do.Some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty years old.Most reproduce only every two years.And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks.For this reason, overfishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal.
Sharks are important for the world's oceans.They eat injured and diseased fish.Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in ocean waters do not become too great. __50__
People hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin.Experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased because many parts of a shark are valuable.
Collectors pay thousands of dollars for the jaws of a shark. __51__ The skin of a shark can be used like leather.
In Asia, people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark fins.Experts say a fisherman can earn a lot of money for even one kilogram of shark fins.Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth, but some sharks are in danger of disappearing from Earth. __52__
A．Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin A.
B．This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.
C．Sharks are valuable to us and we can make full use of them.
D．These powerful senses help sharks find their food.
E．If too many sharks in one area are killed, that group of sharks may never return to normal population levels.
F．They are a threat to other forms of life in the ocean.
G．The others give birth to live young.
答案：48.D　49.G　50.B　51.A 52.E　
解析：分析： 48.根据前面一句“It can find small amounts of substances in water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals.”可知鲨鱼灵敏的嗅觉可以使它们找到水里的如血、体液以及动物产生的化学物质。这样的能力让它们迅速找到食物。故D正确。
49.这两句是叙述鲨鱼的繁衍方式。根据前面一句“About forty per cent of all sharks lay eggs.”可知百分之四十的鲨鱼产卵，其余的鲨鱼直接生出小鲨鱼。故G正确。
50.根据前面一句“Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in ocean waters do not become too great.”可知鲨鱼可以保持海洋的生态平衡，不让某些生物的数量太大。这间接地保护了海洋里的其他生物。故B正确。
51.根据前后句“Collectors pay thousands of dollars for the jaws of a shark.”和“The skin of a shark can be used like leather.”可知本段是在叙述鲨鱼各部位的价值，选项里只有A项与这两句类似。故A正确。
52.根据前面一句“Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth, but some sharks are in danger of disappearing from Earth.”可知某些鲨鱼已经面临着灭绝的危险。那么一旦大量的鲨鱼被捕杀，这种鲨鱼就很难恢复到正常的数量。故E项正确。

六．阅读理解
Last week I did something that scared me.I stood in front of nearly 200 financial planners and I talked to them about why financial blogs are a good thing.
I'm a confident writer.I've been doing this long enough that I know my strength and my limitations.I'm less confident as a speaker.I don't have time to pause to collect my thoughts.I'm not able to edit.I'm afraid of being trapped in a corner without being able to talk my way out.Basically, I'm scared to speak.
It would be easy to simply refuse the chances that come my way.When somebody asks me to speak in front of a group, I could say “no”．When radio and television stations call for an interview, I could say “no”．But for the past two years, I've been following my_own_policy to say “yes” to new chances.
To say “yes” is to live in fear.My goal is to continually improve myself to become better than I am today.One way to do that is to do the things that scare me, to take them on as challenges, and to learn from them—even if I fail.
In mid November, a local station asked me to appear on live television.“I realize it's short notice, ” the producer wrote, “but we'd love to have you on the show if you're available tonight.” I was frightened.I thought about recent taped television interviews that I had hated.I was afraid of what might happen.
But I also thought about the things that had gone right.I thought of how my speaking skills had improved over the past year.And then I thought of the book I was reading, a book that I had bought for $1.29 at the local store.The Magic of Thinking Big was a huge bestseller during the 1960s.Written by Dr David Schwartz, a professor at Georgia State University, the book contains dozens of practical tips on how to take risks to achieve big goals.Schwartz argues that nobody will believe in you until you believe in yourself.
So when the television producer asked if I wanted to appear on his show, I thought big.“Sure, ” I said.“I'll do it.” I acted confidently, but on the inside I was frightened.What I needed was techniques to build up my confidence and to overcome my fear.
53.Why is the author afraid of speaking in public
A．He is aware of his potential.
B．He has few chances to talk.
C．He is not able to edit what he says.
D．He likes writing better.
54.The underlined words “my own policy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”．
A．self improving through challenges
B．hesitating before chances
C．turning down the invitations
D．saying yes to fear
55.The author mentioned the book The Magic of Thinking Big mainly because ________．
A．it was inspiring
B．it was a bestseller
C．its author was famous
D．its price was attractive
56.What is the author's purpose to write the passage
A．To analyze his strength and weaknesses.
B．To give practical tips on speaking in public.
C．To persuade people to follow his example.
D．To share his experiences of overcoming fear.
答案：53.C 54.A 55.A 56.D
解析：分析：53.细节理解题。根据第二段“I don't have time to pause to collect my thoughts.I'm not able to edit.I'm afraid of being trapped in a corner without being able to talk my way out.”的描述可知，作者害怕当众讲话的其中一个原因就是他不能编辑他说的话。选项A、B、D都与本句描述不符。故选C项。
54.词义猜测题。联系后半句“…to say‘yes’to new chances.”可以猜测my own policy指的是通过挑战以获得自我提升。故选A项。
55.细节理解题。根据第六段的“And then I thought of the book I was reading…the book contains dozens of practical tips on how to take risks to achieve big goals.Schwartz argues that nobody will believe in you until you believe in yourself.”的描述可知，作者起先害怕电视采访，但后又想到了The Magic of Thinking Big这本书以及这本书给他的要敢于冒险以实现目标的建议，所以最终他接受了电视采访。由此可知作者提到The Magic of Thinking Big这本书主要是因为它是鼓舞人心的。故选A项。
56.主旨大意题。作者告诉我们他是一个自信的作家，但是他害怕在公众面前讲话。作者试图改变这一现状，敢于接受挑战。在电视台邀请他做电视采访时，他起初害怕，后又鼓励自己克服恐惧心理接受了电视采访。由此可知作者写这篇文章是想与我们分享他克服恐惧的体验。故选D项。
点评：本题考查的是文章的理解，通过理解文章对针对性的提问做出选择。

Glad to hear from you. I have learned that you want to know something about smoking in our country and I'd like to answer all your questions.
As far as I am concerned, more and more people have realized smoking does great harm to health, and causes a variety of diseases. As a result, they have made up their minds to give up smoking.
Fortunately, we have passed a law which forbids people to smoke in public places, and there are signs reminding people to limit smoking in public. I am sure our government will take measures to help people to do so.
That's all I know about smoking in our country. Keep in touch and best wishes!
Yours，
Zhou Kai
