三、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20 分）
阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
There are hundreds of funny and strange expressions in the English language. A lot of them include country names or nationalities, and many have historic beginnings. Take these examples.
The Dutch are the target of most English expressions about nationalities. Why are there so many jokes about the Dutch in English? And what do these expressions mean? In the 17th and early 18th centuries, there were three wars between the British and the Dutch, and Dutch became a bad word. So double Dutch means something that has no meaning or is impossible to understand. A Dutch uncle is someone who gives much stronger advice than they need to. There are later expressions, which are funnier and kinder, like to go Dutch, which is nowadays a popular expression. It means to pay for your part of a bill. This often happens when a group of friends have a meal together, and each person pays for the food they ate.
An expression with a similar meaning to double Dutch is it’s all Greek to me, which means I don’t understand. The expression was made famous in Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar although the expression is actually hundreds of years older.
If you take French leave, you leave somewhere without permission. For example, you could take French leave from a classroom or the place where you work. This expression is from the 18th century when French people left parties without saying goodbye to the host or hostess.
There are Chinese whispers, which means confused messages. This describes the fact that a message can often change as it is passed from person to person. This expression comes from the First World War when foreigners were often confused by the Chinese language. There is also the expression Chinese puzzles, meaning a puzzle or problem that cannot be solved.
Many people find English expressions confusing (令人迷惑的), but now that you have known about some of them, you can easily have fun finding out many more funny English expressions.
41. The author writes this passage mainly to __________.
share his or her experience in studying English expressions.
explain why expressions play an important part in British culture.
explain the origin and meaning of some interesting expressions in English.
show that many expressions in English come from Dutch, French and Chinese.
Why did Dutch become a bad word?
A. Because 3 wars were fought between the British and the Dutch.
B. Because the Dutch always gave others stronger advice than they need to.
C. Because the British people found the Dutch language very difficult to understand. D. Because the Dutch were unfriendly people.
Which three expressions in the passage have similar meanings?
A. double Dutch, it’s all Greek to me and Chinese puzzles.
B. double Dutch, go Dutch and it’s all Greek to me.
C. double Dutch, Dutch uncle and go Dutch.
D. double Dutch, it’s all Greek to me and Chinese whispers.
From the passage we can infer that __________.
A. it’s all Greek to me was invented by Shakespeare
B. to take French leave is not a good thing
C. the strange expressions introduced in the passage above are not popular
D. the Chinese often make mistakes when passing messages

The students of Class 3 had a discussion about whether it is necessary to start learning English from childhood.
【答案与解析】
一、单项填空
1. 【解析】C 注意并列连词and，and后要接一个完整的句子，这里还要用被动语态。
2. 【解析】D 是动词短语play a role in sth.的变化，that he _(played)_ in Indian history是定语从句。
3. 【解析】B because of后接短语，because为连词，后接从句。
4. 【解析】B 句中come up是“被提及，被讨论”的意思，作此意讲时，come up不用被动语态。又如The problem of pollution came up at the meeting. (污染问题在会议上被提了出来)。
5. 【解析】A 句意“关于目前形式的报告使所有在场的人吃惊”。present作“目前的；现在的”讲时，用作前置定语，作“出席的；在场的”意义讲时，用作后置定语。
6. 【解析】D even though意思与even if一样，都是“即使，尽管”之意。as though/as if似乎，好像。
7. 【解析】A be based on/upon …建立在……的基础之上。这里用过去分词作状语。句意：海报根据其他组成员的意见进行了修改。
8. 【解析】B tell与情态动词can, be able to 连用， 意思是“辨别、知道、断定 (judge, distinguish, decide, know)”。常用于以下固定词组中：tell the differences between …and …，tell… from…，tell… apart。
9. 【解析】A actually adv. 事实上。
10. 【解析】B such as“像……那样的”，用来列举事物。for example“例如”，用于证明。
11. 【解析】D in the direction of…“朝……方向去”，come from the direction of …“从……方向来”； at sb’s request = at the request of sb. 应某人的邀请。
12. 【解析】B among 除了作“在……之中（三者或以上）”外，还有“在其中；是……之一”的意思。recognize这里意为“承认”。
13. 【解析】C write和其逻辑主语books有动宾关系，所以要用过去分词作定语。
14. 【解析】B “利用……做某事”应是make use of sth to do sth。原句可改为主动语态为：We should make
every possible use of technology to prevent the river from being polluted. 然后把every possible use作为主
语改成被动语态，即成原题题干。
15. 【解析】A I beg your pardon?用于表示没听清或者不理解，请对方在重复一变。
16. 【解析】A 四个选项中只有expect可以跟不定式作宾语的补足语，构成expect sb. to do sth（期望某人 做某事）结构。
17.【解析】D 主句的动词用了过去式，从句的动词也要用一种过去式，所以选项C中的will come不对；
区别have been to和have gone to：have been to意为“去过某地”，人已回来了；而have gone to意为“去某地了”，人还未回来。习惯上说come here, go there。
18. 【解析】C 句意应是“她问凯特和我是否愿意……”，所以用whether引导。
19. 【解析】A 祈使句改成间接引语要用“ask (tell …) sb. to do sth.”结构；直接引语是一般过去式，改成 间接引语后要用过去完成式。
20. 【解析】C warn sb. not to do sth警告某人不要做某事。
二、完形填空
21. 【解析】A worry about …“为……担心”，是固定短语。根据下文内容可知，儿子的学习成绩不好，经常遭到同班同学的讥笑，所以母亲很担忧。
22. 【解析】A 此句解释母亲担心的原因。
23. 【解析】D make fun of sb. 取笑某人
24. 【解析】C slow这里指“（头脑）反应慢”，反义词是quick。
25. 【解析】B 母亲决定自己得亲自做点什么把儿子的成绩提上来。从下文可以看出，她的决定是让儿子去公共图书馆看一周的书并写出读书报告。
26. 【解析】C tell sb. to do sth.告诉某人做某事。let和make后接不带to的不定式作宾语的补足语。 consider没有consider sb. to do sth.结构，但可以说consider sb. / sth. to be …或者consider sb. to have done sth.结构。
27. 【解析】C 去图书馆应该是去读书，而不是去看notice（布告/通知）、message（口信，短信）或者question（问题）。另外，下文第45空所在句有book一词的提示。因此，在做完形填空时，如果到目前为止信 息不足，看不出该选哪个时，要联系下文，下文某处会有提示。反之，填后面的空时，也要联系上文。这样瞻前顾后，联系全文，才能快速正确地解题。
28. 【解析】A class课堂。
29. 【解析】D put up one’s hand举手。
30. 【解析】D 老师让他发言。
31. 【解析】D 联系上文介绍说Ben脑子笨，所以这里要填否定意义的词never。
32. 【解析】C 从上一小节中的the teacher held up a rock and asked if anyone knew it中的knew一词可知这里要填动词knew。
33. 【解析】C Ben不仅知道这一块石块，而且还讲了很多有关知识，说出了同类中其他石头的名字，甚至还知道老师是从哪里弄到的这块石头。
34. 【解析】B 前面说Ben反应慢，遭到同学们的取笑；平时又从不回答问题（He 41(never) said anything），因此他举手时，大家感到很困惑（wondered）。可是他却回答得很出色，着实出乎老师和同学们的意料，所以填surprised。
35. 【解析】B 从第2小节中的do a report about it可知。
36. 【解析】A go to the top of his class变成了班里的“尖子”。
37. 【解析】B 这里需要填一个并列连词and连接went to和became：… he went to Yale University and became …。
38. 【解析】A learn获知，得知。
39. 【解析】B 当他还是个孩子的时候不知道的情况。
40. 【解析】A 他母亲自己也不识字。she, herself, had never learned how to 50 (read) 是对上面一句中something一词的补充说明。
三、阅读理解
【解析】第46-第50小题重点考查学生对语篇的逻辑理解能力。
四、单词拼写
51. included 52. cultures 53. actually
54. present 55. Vocabulary 56. government
57. rapid 58. requested
59. eastern 60. Recognizing
【解析】本题重点考查学生对本单元单词的掌握情况，注意不同时态相关词形的变化。
五、短文改错
61. 【解析】 the 改为an。airport为第一次出现，不能用定冠词the，要用不定冠词an。
62. 【解析】keep改为kept。文章叙述了过去的事情，全文的基本时态为一般过去式，这里突然改为一般现在式，与上下文时态不一致。
63. 【解析】safe改为safely。修饰行为动词fly应用副词。
64. 【解析】way 改为ways。根据意思，机场的保安试用了不同的方法，所以way要用其复数形式。可数名词要注意单复数。
六、书面表达
One Possible Version
The students of Class 3 had a discussion about whether it is necessary to start learning English from childhood. Their opinions are divided.
Some of them think that English learning should be started from childhood. As little boys and girls have a very good memory, they can learn a lot of English words by heart. This will help them lay a solid foundation for their future English learning.
However, others do not agree. In their opinion, young children have to learn Chinese pinyin at school. If they study Chinese pinyin and English at the same time, it will be very easy for them to mix them up. This will do a lot of harm not only to their Chinese learning but also to their future English learning.
In short, the students have not arrived at any agreement yet.
【解析】本题属于半开放性作文，题目给出了必要的限定，让学生在合理的空间内发挥。另外，在文体上本题属于议论文，议论文并不是高考的重点和热点，近年高考也只是出现过一次。本文在写作过程当中也应用了一些经典词组或句型，比如start from, do not agree, it will be easy for sb. To do sth. Do harm to sth.等等，这些词汇词组或句型的运用给本文增色不少。

So double Dutch means something that has no meaning or is impossible to understand. A Dutch uncle is someone who gives much stronger advice than they need to. There are later expressions, which are funnier and kinder, like to go Dutch, which is nowadays a popular expression. It means to pay for your part of a bill. This often happens when a group of friends have a meal together, and each person pays for the food they ate.
An expression with a similar meaning to double Dutch is it’s all Greek to me, which means I don’t understand. The expression was made famous in Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar although the expression is actually hundreds of years older.
If you take French leave, you leave somewhere without permission. For example, you could take French leave from a classroom or the place where you work. This expression is from the 18th century when French people left parties without saying goodbye to the host or hostess.
There are Chinese whispers, which means confused messages. This describes the fact that a message can often change as it is passed from person to person. This expression comes from the First World War when foreigners were often confused by the Chinese language. There is also the expression Chinese puzzles, meaning a puzzle or problem that cannot be solved.
Many people find English expressions confusing (令人迷惑的), but now that you have known about some of them, you can easily have fun finding out many more funny English expressions.

The students of Class 3 had a discussion about whether it is necessary to start learning English from childhood.
【答案与解析】
一、单项填空
1. 【解析】C 注意并列连词and，and后要接一个完整的句子，这里还要用被动语态。
2. 【解析】D 是动词短语play a role in sth.的变化，that he _(played)_ in Indian history是定语从句。
3. 【解析】B because of后接短语，because为连词，后接从句。
4. 【解析】B 句中come up是“被提及，被讨论”的意思，作此意讲时，come up不用被动语态。又如The problem of pollution came up at the meeting. (污染问题在会议上被提了出来)。
5. 【解析】A 句意“关于目前形式的报告使所有在场的人吃惊”。present作“目前的；现在的”讲时，用作前置定语，作“出席的；在场的”意义讲时，用作后置定语。
6. 【解析】D even though意思与even if一样，都是“即使，尽管”之意。as though/as if似乎，好像。
7. 【解析】A be based on/upon …建立在……的基础之上。这里用过去分词作状语。句意：海报根据其他组成员的意见进行了修改。
8. 【解析】B tell与情态动词can, be able to 连用， 意思是“辨别、知道、断定 (judge, distinguish, decide, know)”。常用于以下固定词组中：tell the differences between …and …，tell… from…，tell… apart。
9. 【解析】A actually adv. 事实上。
10. 【解析】B such as“像……那样的”，用来列举事物。for example“例如”，用于证明。
11. 【解析】D in the direction of…“朝……方向去”，come from the direction of …“从……方向来”； at sb’s request = at the request of sb. 应某人的邀请。
12. 【解析】B among 除了作“在……之中（三者或以上）”外，还有“在其中；是……之一”的意思。recognize这里意为“承认”。
13. 【解析】C write和其逻辑主语books有动宾关系，所以要用过去分词作定语。
14. 【解析】B “利用……做某事”应是make use of sth to do sth。原句可改为主动语态为：We should make
every possible use of technology to prevent the river from being polluted. 然后把every possible use作为主
语改成被动语态，即成原题题干。
15. 【解析】A I beg your pardon?用于表示没听清或者不理解，请对方在重复一变。
16. 【解析】A 四个选项中只有expect可以跟不定式作宾语的补足语，构成expect sb. to do sth（期望某人 做某事）结构。
17.【解析】D 主句的动词用了过去式，从句的动词也要用一种过去式，所以选项C中的will come不对；
区别have been to和have gone to：have been to意为“去过某地”，人已回来了；而have gone to意为“去某地了”，人还未回来。习惯上说come here, go there。
18. 【解析】C 句意应是“她问凯特和我是否愿意……”，所以用whether引导。
19. 【解析】A 祈使句改成间接引语要用“ask (tell …) sb. to do sth.”结构；直接引语是一般过去式，改成 间接引语后要用过去完成式。
20. 【解析】C warn sb. not to do sth警告某人不要做某事。
二、完形填空
21. 【解析】A worry about …“为……担心”，是固定短语。根据下文内容可知，儿子的学习成绩不好，经常遭到同班同学的讥笑，所以母亲很担忧。
22. 【解析】A 此句解释母亲担心的原因。
23. 【解析】D make fun of sb. 取笑某人
24. 【解析】C slow这里指“（头脑）反应慢”，反义词是quick。
25. 【解析】B 母亲决定自己得亲自做点什么把儿子的成绩提上来。从下文可以看出，她的决定是让儿子去公共图书馆看一周的书并写出读书报告。
26. 【解析】C tell sb. to do sth.告诉某人做某事。let和make后接不带to的不定式作宾语的补足语。 consider没有consider sb. to do sth.结构，但可以说consider sb. / sth. to be …或者consider sb. to have done sth.结构。
27. 【解析】C 去图书馆应该是去读书，而不是去看notice（布告/通知）、message（口信，短信）或者question（问题）。另外，下文第45空所在句有book一词的提示。因此，在做完形填空时，如果到目前为止信 息不足，看不出该选哪个时，要联系下文，下文某处会有提示。反之，填后面的空时，也要联系上文。这样瞻前顾后，联系全文，才能快速正确地解题。
28. 【解析】A class课堂。
29. 【解析】D put up one’s hand举手。
30. 【解析】D 老师让他发言。
31. 【解析】D 联系上文介绍说Ben脑子笨，所以这里要填否定意义的词never。
32. 【解析】C 从上一小节中的the teacher held up a rock and asked if anyone knew it中的knew一词可知这里要填动词knew。
33. 【解析】C Ben不仅知道这一块石块，而且还讲了很多有关知识，说出了同类中其他石头的名字，甚至还知道老师是从哪里弄到的这块石头。
34. 【解析】B 前面说Ben反应慢，遭到同学们的取笑；平时又从不回答问题（He 41(never) said anything），因此他举手时，大家感到很困惑（wondered）。可是他却回答得很出色，着实出乎老师和同学们的意料，所以填surprised。
35. 【解析】B 从第2小节中的do a report about it可知。
36. 【解析】A go to the top of his class变成了班里的“尖子”。
37. 【解析】B 这里需要填一个并列连词and连接went to和became：… he went to Yale University and became …。
38. 【解析】A learn获知，得知。
39. 【解析】B 当他还是个孩子的时候不知道的情况。
40. 【解析】A 他母亲自己也不识字。she, herself, had never learned how to 50 (read) 是对上面一句中something一词的补充说明。
三、阅读理解
【解析】第46-第50小题重点考查学生对语篇的逻辑理解能力。
四、单词拼写
51. included 52. cultures 53. actually
54. present 55. Vocabulary 56. government
57. rapid 58. requested
59. eastern 60. Recognizing
【解析】本题重点考查学生对本单元单词的掌握情况，注意不同时态相关词形的变化。
五、短文改错
61. 【解析】 the 改为an。airport为第一次出现，不能用定冠词the，要用不定冠词an。
62. 【解析】keep改为kept。文章叙述了过去的事情，全文的基本时态为一般过去式，这里突然改为一般现在式，与上下文时态不一致。
63. 【解析】safe改为safely。修饰行为动词fly应用副词。
64. 【解析】way 改为ways。根据意思，机场的保安试用了不同的方法，所以way要用其复数形式。可数名词要注意单复数。
六、书面表达
One Possible Version
The students of Class 3 had a discussion about whether it is necessary to start learning English from childhood. Their opinions are divided.
Some of them think that English learning should be started from childhood. As little boys and girls have a very good memory, they can learn a lot of English words by heart. This will help them lay a solid foundation for their future English learning.
However, others do not agree. In their opinion, young children have to learn Chinese pinyin at school. If they study Chinese pinyin and English at the same time, it will be very easy for them to mix them up. This will do a lot of harm not only to their Chinese learning but also to their future English learning.
In short, the students have not arrived at any agreement yet.
【解析】本题属于半开放性作文，题目给出了必要的限定，让学生在合理的空间内发挥。另外，在文体上本题属于议论文，议论文并不是高考的重点和热点，近年高考也只是出现过一次。本文在写作过程当中也应用了一些经典词组或句型，比如start from, do not agree, it will be easy for sb. To do sth. Do harm to sth.等等，这些词汇词组或句型的运用给本文增色不少。
