解析:分析:1. 句意:他发出通告:他将不参加此次选举。句子结构分析,that从句在同位语从句,根据同位语从句的特点和空前冠词an可知,此空应填名词,根据词义,故填announcement。
2.句意:他有一个很讨人喜爱的小弟弟。此空后是名词短语baby brother,前面是副词really,此空应填形容词,根据句意,故填cute。
3.句意:他努力想得第一名的尝试失败了。空前是his他的,attempt to do sth尝试做,故填attempt。

原形,故填queue up。
9.根据句意判断,应用现在完成进行时态,表“一直做某事”,故填has been raining,使用现在完成时态has rained不是最佳选择。
10.当句子中出现ever since引导的时间状语从句,主句应用现在完成时态,又由于主句里副词seldom几乎没有提到了句首会引起主句的部分倒装,故填have they played。
11.根据句意判断,应用现在完成时态,句意决定了句子应用be busy doing sth结构,故填have been;preparing 。
12.根据句意判断,此句应该使用现在进行时态be always doing,表“总是做某事”之意,含责备或赞扬语气,故填is always leaving。

Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us. __51__ She just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints.

六.阅读理解
A
It has been more than twenty years since pioneering British computer programmer, Sir Tim Berners Lee, created the World Wide Web. But could he have ever imagined how much the web would change our lives And would he approve of how some British students are taking advantage of his invention
Univesities and exam boards around the UK are becoming increasingly concerned with the rising number of cases of plagiarism, many of which are facilitated(助长)by the Internet access.
In the UK most school and university students complete coursework throughout the academic year which contributes toward their final mark. In many cases coursework makes up the main part of the qualification. Since coursework is completed in the students’ own time it cannot be monitored by teachers in the same way as an exam.
Derec Stockley, director of examinations in the UK, explains, “Plagiarism affects coursework more than anything else, and in the cases that come to our attention, more and more are linked to the Internet.”
At a university level recent reports suggest that plagiarism has evolved from separate cases of individual cheating to systematic and even commercial operation. Students can now pay for bespoke essays to be written for them by experts.
It is estimated that the market in online plagiarism is now worth 200 million pounds a year. Every month more and more websites offering to write students’ essays for them appear on the Internet.
Barclay Littlewood, owner of Degree Essays UK employs 3,500 specialist writers and charges between 120 pounds and 4,000 pounds per essay. However, Mr Littlewood refuses the accusation that he is helping students to cheat.
53. What does the underlined word “plagiarism” in Paragraph 2 mean in the passage
A. Cheating. B. Problems of the Internet.
C. Learning pressure. D. Coursework.
54. Which of the following statements is mentioned by the author
A. With the help of online plagiarism, students can write more creative coursework.
B. There will be no problem if online plagiarism is a systematic and commercial operation.
C. The Internet seems to have contributed much to the problem of online plagiarism.
D. Teachers should lay more emphasis on exams than coursework.
55. It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to ______.
A. blame Sir Tim Berners Lee for having created the World Wide Web
B. worry about the quality of students’ coursework influenced by the World Wide Web
C. be in favour of Littlewood’s defence against the accusation of him
D. have studied the problem of online plagiarism for nearly 20 years
56. Who should be blamed for online plagiarism
A. Barclay Littlewood. B. Sir Tim Berners Lee.
C. Derec Stockley. D. Nobody.
57. The paragraph following the passage will most probably be about ______.
A. the author’s opinions of Mr Littlewood
B. different people’s opinions on plagiarism
C. how students use the website of Mr Littlewood
D. Mr Littlewood’s defence against those who
accused him of his website
答案:53.A 54.C 55.B 56.A 57.D
解析:分析:53.由文章内容和最后一句话“However, Mr Littlewood refuses the accusation that
he is helping students to cheat.”可知plagiarism的意思是cheating“作弊”。
54.第一段讲了网络的优势,接着由提出的问题推知文章的主题是网络给学生作弊带来的方便。
故选C。
55.第一段讲了网络的优势,然后文章的主体部分讲了网络给学生作弊带来的方便。因此可推知作者对此不良现象的忧虑。
56.文章最后一句“However, Mr Littlewood refuses the accusation that he is helping students to
cheat.”中Mr Littlewood拒绝指控,可知答案。
57.文章最后一句“However, Mr Littlewood refuses the accusation that he is helping students to cheat.”可推知下文要讲Mr Littlewood要进行辩护。
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。
