IV．阅读理解
A
She was so thin that her small bones seemed ready to come through her white skin. Seen from a distance, playing about the back yard with her child, she looked like a little girl, for her waist was unbelievably tiny and she had practically no figure. She had no bust（胸围） and her hips were flat. Like her body, her face was too thin and too pale and her silky brows(眉毛), arched and delicate as a butterfly’s feelers, stood out too blackly against her colorless skin. In her small face, her eyes were too large for beauty, the dark spots under them making them appear enormous, but the expression in them had not changed since the days of her unworried girlhood. War and constant pain and hard work had been powerless against their sweet calm. They were the eyes of a happy woman, a woman around whom storms might blow without ever ruffling the serene core of her being.
1. After reading the passage, the readers are supposed to have the impression that the lady was________.
A. pretty B. ugly C. strong-minded D. ill
2. The possible meaning of “the serene core” is ___________.
A. 安祥的内心 B. 严重的情况
C. 天真纯洁的心灵 D. 可怜的灵魂

It’s lunchtime, you’re hungry and can’t wait to get your favourite meal at the restaurant. But there is a queue of people nearly reaching the door. Don’t worry --- in cyberworld (网络世界), lunch is just a few clicks away.
“Shopping has never been easier. With just a single click on your mouse (鼠标), whatever you order online can be delivered to your door in no time at all.” Said Bian Jing, 20, who recently took part in an online survival contest held in Beijing. Each competitor had to go online and buy enough food and drink to last them for 100 hours, using limited money.
“I don’t want to spend too much time shopping so I do it online rather than in a normal store,” said Chang Haijiao, a Senior 3 student at the Second High School Attached to Capital Normal University. “It’s easy to find the thing you want on websites as they have catalogues(目录).”
Customers who go online can also find lower prices and a wider choice of goods.
But many teachers and parents are worried that online shopping is becoming too popular.
“It’s not a good way for high school students to spend their money,” said a teacher at Chang’s school. “I don’t like them to shop online.”
As students are still dependent upon their parents for money, it is said that they are not ready to take responsibility for paying for goods online. There is also the risk they will lose their money at online stores that just want to cheat customers.
Most parents, though, don’t want to pay the bill when their children overspend on the Internet. “I hate having to pay unexpected bills.” said one father. “But my son always surprises me with them.”
3. Which of the following is not the reason why many people are fond of shopping online?
A. Shopping online is just a few diets away.
B. It is convenient to find lower prices and a wider choices of goods.
C. An online survival contest has been held in Beijing.
D. It takes much more time to do shopping is a normal store.
4. Many parents are worried about online shopping because of the following possibilities except ________.
A. Shopping online might have a bad effect on the studies of the children.
B. the children might be cheated at online stores.
C. the children are not ready to take responsibility for paying goods online.
D. the children might overspend on the internet.
5. Which of the following “attach to ” has the same meaning as the one in Para.3?
A. He attached a stamp to the envelope and mailed it.
B. He attached his signature to the contract.
C. This institute is attached to the University of Texas.
D. It’s unwise to attach too much importance to the information.
C
The art of pleasing is a very necessary one to possess, but a very difficult one to acquire. It can hardly be reduced to rules; and your own good sense and observation will teach you more of it than I can. “Do as you would be done by,” is the surest method that I know of pleasing. Observe carefully what pleases you in others, and probably the same things in you will please others. If you are pleased with the complaisance (恳切) and attention of others to your humors, your tastes, or your weaknesses, depend upon it, the same complaisance and attention on your part to theirs will equally please them. Take the tone of the company that you are in, and do not pretend to give it; be serious, gay, or even trifling（开玩笑）, as you find the present humor of the company; this is an attention due(应持有的态度) from every individual to the majority. Do not tell stories in company; there is nothing more tedious and disagreeable; if by chance you know a very short story, and exceedingly applicable（非常符合）to the present subject of conversation, tell it in as few words as possible; and even then, throw out that you do not love to tell stories, but that the shortness of it tempted（诱惑）you.
6. “Do as you would be done by” means ___________________________________
A. The art of pleasing can hardly be reduced to rules
B. Do as you are told to
C. Treat others the same way they treat you
D. Do what please you in others
7. The paragraphs following it might tell readers about _____________.
A. something else that tempts you
B. how to get a job in a company
C. other tips on how to make good company
D. how to tell a story
D
Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. The human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical(判断性的) thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes(过程). Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.
The word “critical” here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen — beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.
Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.
Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today’s world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence(智力), you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, “Please go slowly . I don’t understand things quickly.”
8. Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, ___________.
A. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fast
B. we might be controlled by other people’s ideas
C. we will follow the ideas of others naturally
D. we might be fooled by other people’s ideas
9. If you are a critical thinker, you will ____________.
A. think deeply about different ideas
B. trust the reports in the newspapers
C. take one view against another view
D. criticize other people for their mistakes
10. In the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that _________.
A. the smarter you are, the faster you do things
B. the faster you do things, the smarter you become
C. speed can improve intelligence
D. intelligence is not decided b speed
11. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Thinking and Critical Thinking
B. Understanding Critical Thinking
C. Thinking Is Natural and Homan
D. Thinking Fast Means Intelligence

When we write a description of a person, sometimes we describe his or her personality or character and not his or her physical appearance. A person`s character can be difficult to describe as this cannot be so clearly seen. To do this, we may give examples that show the impression that he or she made on us. Read the following two passages and try to write a passage to present your opinions on each description.

2.useful words you might need:
transitional adj. 过渡的
logically adv. 有逻辑地
specific details 具体的细节

Analysis of the Two Passages
The first passage is more effective, for it offers
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
The second writer, on the other hand, gives us
The two passages you should read before writing:
1) My Bad-Tempered Father
My father is easily angered by normal, everyday mistake. One day my father told me to wash the car and cut the grass. I did not hear exactly what he said, and so I asked him to repeat it. Then he went into a hysterical mood and shouted, “Can’t you hear?”
Another time he asked my mother to go to the store and buy groceries with a fifty-dollar bill, and told her to spend no more than twenty dollars. She spent twenty-two dollars. As soon as he found out, he immediately grabbed the change from her and shouted that she was never to do any errands for him again. He did not speak to her for the rest of the day.
My father also gives my older brother a hard time with his irritable moods. One day, he told them to be home from their dates by midnight; they came home at 12:15. He informed them that they were grounded for three weeks.
To my father, making a simple mistake is like committing a sever crime.
2) My Generous Grandfather
My grandfather is the most generous person I know. He has given up a life of his own in order to give his grandchildren everything they want. Not only has he given up many years of his life to raise his children properly, but he is now sacrificing many more years to his grandchildren.
His generosity is also evident in his relationship with his colleagues, neighbors and friends. He has been responsible for many good deeds and has always been there to help all the people around him in time of trouble. Everyone knows that he will gladly lend a helping hand.
He is so generous that you almost have to feel sorry for him. If one day he suddenly became selfish, it would be earthshaking. That’s my grandfather.

14. C onsiderate 考虑周到的，体贴的；considerable 值得考虑的，重大的；B/D 意思更不符。
15. C
III：完形填空
1. C 题干中的mean 表示期主语和宾语的相同性，control 相当于own的含义。
2. A like 在这里是介词，用于列举事物，所以desert也就是“干旱”的代名词。
3. C rich指“富饶的”。
4. D 题干中的not 和选项的前缀构成肯定的意义。正因为控制水资源的战争很多，政府才制定法律。
5. A make laws 为固定搭配，意思是“制定法律”。
6. B 谁最先到达某个地方，谁就拥有对当地水源的使用权。如果后来者使用武力强行占领水源并拥有使用它的权力的话，这个地方肯定会战争不断，所以政府才制定法律保护居住者的权利。
7. D 在两个句子之间是逗号，这就决定了第一个句子必须是从句。That 和what 可以引导名词性从句，但该空不需要引导名词性从句；that 可以引志定语从句，但它不能引导非限定性定语从句并在从句中充当主语，代替整个主句表达的含义。
8. B 由下文“……使每个人想用多少就用多少”来看，这里表示的是足够的量。
9. C 这里谈论的是水的总量，而不是水的类型或质量。
10. B require的意思是“需要”，和下文的careful planning吻合；request表示“请求”；C、D项的意思与题意不合。
11. A 文章谈论的是水资源的缺乏，所以这里使用effectively，要求人们有效地使用水资源。
12. D lead to 的意思是“导致某种结果产生”；due to相当于owing to“由于，因为”，因此排除A、B、C项。
13. A 既然是预报，就要求它必须准确。
14. D above指下文谈到的自然气候造成的降水，和below要对应。
15. B rising指增长，是不及物动词变化而来的现在分词；raising是由及物动词转化而来的，后需带宾语。
16. C 可利用的雪应该是在山“顶”。
17. B 从山顶上把雪弄下来的目的肯定是要用的。
18. D 数据是人们搜集了之后才被传送到基地。
19. C press a button为常用搭配，意思是“按电钮”；touch的意思是“轻角”，电钮不到位的话，机器是无法作出反应的；B项为不及物动词，不能接宾语；D项的意思不能和button搭配。
20. C 既然是“在不久的将来”，主句的谓语一定要用将来时态。
阅读理解：
1.C. 用外表的瘦小反衬内心的坚强是作者的写作目的，由文章倒数第二句可知。
2. A. 外面风雨大作，内心安详宁静。
3. C 须把握段落主题。

10. D最后一段一开始就告诉我们，智力活动是需要花时间的；从所给出的例子看，智力不是由速度决定的。
11. B文章介绍了什么是Critical Thinking的思维过程和方式，因此要选B项。

2. That he was late again made the teacher very angry.
3. The reason why the teacher was angry was that he was late again.
4. The teacher was very angry that he was late again.

6. His being late again made the teacher very angry.
7. He was late again, making the teacher very angry.
语篇：
Analysis of the Two Passages
The first passage is more effective, for it offers specific examples that show us the father in action. We see for ourselves why the writer describes the father as bad-tempered. It also uses transitional phrases or sentence to organize the passage more clearly and logically. Using “one day”, the writer introduces us the first example of his father’s hot temper; “Another time” indicates the second example and the transitional sentence “”My father also gives my older brothers a hard time with his irritable moods” indicates another example will follow. It is the supporting examples and the transitional devices that make the passage more effective and coherent.
The second writer, on the other hand, gives us no specific evidence. The writer tells us repeatedly that the grandfather is generous but never shows us examples of that generosity. Just now, for instance, did the grandfather sacrifice his children and grandchildren? Did the grandfather hold two jobs so that his son could go to college, or so that his daughter could finish her education? Does he give up time with his wife and friends to travel every day to his daughter’s house to babysit, go to the store, and help with the dishes? We need to judge for ourselves whether the writer is making a valid point about the grandfather, but without specific details we cannot do so. In fact, we have almost no picture of the grandfather at all.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15题，每题2分）
A
It’s usually said that the human tongue can detect only four basic tastes; sweet, sour, bitter and sally, and that all tastes are combinations of these. Many specialists now believe that taste is actually more combinations than this, with the taste tip being helped along by sense of smell, by the feel of substances in the mouth and even by the noise that food makes when we chew it.
In recent years some food scientists have added a fifth taste, umami (鲜味), to the other four. It has been suggested that the taste is triggered(触发) by compounds of some chemicals, such as glutamate. Glutamate is naturally present in most foods, such as meat, chickens, seafood and vegetables. Professor Rolls, specializing in taste, has been exploring why we find certain taste so pleasurable.
Professor Rolls explained that there are taste receptors(感受器) on our tongue that recognize umami, and that these send messages to distinct areas in the brain-the primary taste cortex(大脑皮层) just above the eyes. He described how umami, and more specifically glutamate, affects these taste areas of the brain. Some brain cells increase their “sensitivity rate” to the taste of glutamate, but not to other tastes.
The word Umami seems a bit strange. In fact, it is borrowed from Japanese. This Japanese word is hard to translate. A number of English words have been suggested as equivalents, such as deliciousness, and meaty, but none is as good as umami. Umami is naturally found in tomatoes and mushrooms. Usually, a small amount of glutamate is spread onto food in a Chinese restaurant to make it more appetizing(开胃的). Umami is sometimes associated with a feeling of perfect quality in a taste, or of some special emotional circumstance in which a taste is experienced. It is also said to involve all the senses, not just that of taste.
56. According to the passage, which of the following statements about glutamate is true?
A. Glutamate is a natural ingredient in many foods
B. Too much glutamate in a food may make people sick
C. Glutamate was first discovered in Japan
D. Glutamate is seldom used in Chinese dishes
57. According to Professor Rolls, How do humans recognize the taste of uami?
A. There is a separate umami taste area in the brain
B. There are more umami receptors than those of other tastes in the brain
C. Umami taste receptors in the mouth process（加工）messages from the brain
D. Some brain taste cells are more active to the taste of umami 58. How do you explain the last sentence of the passage?
(“It is also said to involve all the senses, not just that of taste.”)
A. The secret of an attractive food lies in its taste in the first place
B. Delicious food means a combination of five tastes
C. An appetizing food may involve taste, smell, sight, etc.
D. A food with five tastes in it can be preserved longer
59. It can be inferred from the passage about glutamate and umami that __________.
A. glutamate is the English equivalent for umami
B. umami is naturally found in Japanese dishes
C. both glutamate and umami are chemicals
D. glutamate refers to a chemical compound while umami, to a taste
B
Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton wants to apply her successful “listening tour” of New York voters to national politics via the Internet, a venture that could prove how powerful the Web will be in the 2008 race for the White House.
Experts say, in an era of the popular video-viewing You Tube and the networking MySpace.com, the Internet will be an influential and critical component of the modem race. The web is inexpensive, allows control of a political message and can target groups of voters.
Clinton said to the press that she planned to take full advantage of the newest in communication. Blazing an Internet trail was former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean four years ago, the first campaign to use the world wide web effectively to raise money, organize supporters and generate early momentum.
Let’s wait and see how vigorously the Internet will be used in the upcoming presidential campaign!
60. ________ first applies the internet effectively to the political campaigns.
A. Clinton B. Hillary Clinton
C. You Tube D. Howard Dean
61. The best title of this passage should be _____________.
A. Hillary Clinton in the Election
B. Insight into New Medium for Election
C. The 2008 Race for the White House
D. The Importance of the Internet
C
Light Pollution
We usually think of pollution as a harmful waste substance that threatens the air and water. But some people have become concerned about another kind of pollution. It can be everywhere, depending on the time of day. And it is not thought of as a substance. It is light.
The idea of light pollution has developed with the increase of lights in cities. In many areas, this light makes it difficult or impossible to observe stars and planets in the night sky. In 1988, the international Dark-Sky Association formed. This organization wants to reduce light pollution in the night sky. It also urges the effective use of electric lighting.
There are a number of reasons why light pollution is important. One has become clear at the Mount Wilson Observatory near Los Angeles, California. Mount Wilson Observatory was home to the largest telescopes in the world during the first half of the 1900s. During that period, Los Angeles grew to become one of America’s biggest cities.
Today, light from Los Angeles makes the night sky above Mount Wilson very bright. It is no longer an important research center because of light pollution.
Light pollution threatens to reduce the scientific value of research telescopes in other important observatories. They include Lick Observatory near San Jose, California and Yerkes Observatory near Chicago, Illinois.
Light pollution is the result of wasted energy. Bright light that shines into the sky is not being used to provide light where it is needed on Earth. Poorly designed lighting causes a great deal of light pollution. Lights that are brighter than necessary also cause light pollution.
Recently, two Italian astronomers and an American environmental scientist created a world map of the night sky. The map shows that North America, Western Europe and Japan have the greatest amount of light pollution.
Most people in America are surprised to find out that they are able to see our own galaxy(星系), the Milky Way, with their own eyes. But about three-fourths of Americans cannot see the Milky Way because of man-made light.
Objects in the night sky are resources that provide everyone with wonder. But light pollution threatens to prevent those wonderful sights from being seen.
62. In the passage the main concern of the writer is that ___________.
A. too much energy is wasted as a result of the unnecessary use of light
B. Americans will no longer enjoy the beautiful sight of the Milky Way
C. the amount of light pollution in North America, Western Europe is larger than that in other nations
D. it becomes more difficult to observe stars and planets in the night sky
63. Which of the followings is Not the cause of the light pollution?
A. Unnecessary lighting. B. Poor designing of lights.
C. The effective use of lighting. D. Too bright lights.
64. The underlined word “one” in paragraph 3 is the substitution（代替）of ___________.
A. reason B. light pollution C. any person D. the writer
65. The real meaning of “Light pollution threatens to reduce the scientific value of research in other important observatories” in paragraph 5 is ____________.
A. the telescopes in other key observatories will be less effective due to light pollution
B. the research telescopes will become cheaper because of light pollution
C. scientists can not observe the sky any more through the research telescopes
D. other observatories may have less scientific value than Mount Wilson Observatory
66. The main purpose of the International Dark-Sky Association is to _________.
A. make the night sky bright and pretty
B. stop the use of electric lighting
C. prevent the overuse of the electric lighting
D. make the night sky less bright
D
By 2050……
Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.
TV channels will have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers, and books will come to us by computer.
Cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours. Today, the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Beijing in just two hours.
Robots(机器人) will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots—they don’t ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Medical technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there are electronic devices（装置）that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see and hear again. Scientists will have discovered how to control genes(基因). Scientists have already produced clones（克隆）of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence（智力）they have. Scientists will be able to do these things---- but should they?
67. Which of the following can NOT be realized today?
A. Reading newspapers on a computer.
B. Making a space shuttle go into space and land on Earth again.
C. Creating cloned animals.
D. Choosing TV programs freely from a “menu”.
68. According to the passage, some big companies prefer robots to human workers because human workers__________.
A. can work 24 hours a day B. often ask for more pay
C. are not clever enough D. are often late for work
69. From the passage, we can infer that ________.
A. there will be no blind and deaf people by 2050
B. medical technology will be more effective by 2050
C. few diseases will attack people
D. electronic devices will be connected directly to the brain to help blind people see
70. What’s the author’s attitude towards the cloning technology?
A. The author does not agree on the use of cloning technology.
B. The author thinks human cloning is impossible.
C. The author does not really support the idea of human cloning.
D. The author is quite excited about human cloning.

Life…what is it?
生命是什么?是画,是诗,是用心灵编织的一部交响曲.
Life…what is it?
See it in the colors of autumn,
A gentle snowfall in winter
A sudden shower in spring
The radiance of a summer day
Behold it in the laughter of the young and the old
Know of it in a surge of hope,
The blessings that are bountiful.
What is life?
It is joy, awareness,
And the music within.
生命是什么
它浸染在五彩缤纷的秋色里
飘融轻柔无语的冬雪中
在阵阵春雨里
在绚丽夏日中
它包含在老人爽朗的笑声里
也隐匿在孩子们的嬉戏中
它汹涌在人们的希望里
它荡漾在美好的祝福中
生命是什么
是欢乐、是领悟
是心灵深处的音乐

How to Achieve Success
Some people think that success depends on opportunities. However, if you haven`t prepared yourself well, you can never catch any opportunity even if it comes to you.
It is believed that hard work leads to success. If you want to achieve any success, first you should be diligent in your daily work, and manage to be a seasoned player in your own field. Besides, you should learn to work with others, which is not only what today`s complicated work demands of you , but also can improve your abilities of cooperation and even of organization. Another thing you should keep in mind is that you should try to be creative. The spirit of creativity is highly thought of in modern society. Of course, pioneering work might result in failure. However, opportunities often go hand in hand with creativity. Finally, you should be sensitive to every change in your unit or your field so that you can be aware of the opportunity whenever it comes. Otherwise, success may escape under your nose.
模块九 unit 3综合训练
一．单项选择 (共15题，每小题1分，满分15分)
1. ----- What’s the model plane look like? (2007锡常四区(市)九校5月交流卷)
----- Well, the wings of the plane are ______ of its body.
A. more than the length twice B. twice more than the length
C. more than twice the length D. more twice than the length
选C.本题考查英语中倍数句型."A?+?be?+?倍数?+?the?+?计量名词?+?of?+?B?"?的表达及more than的位置.
2..The factory produced many famous cars, none of ____ shipped to foreign countries.(2006海淀5月二模)
A. them B. which C. it D. what
选A。本题容易误选B。容易被认为是一个非限制性定语从句。理由是none后面没有并列连词and, but。但是，ship在这里是一个及物动词，意思为“运送……到”，也就是说这里的shipped是一个过去分词，后面的部分是一个独立主格结构。如果在shipped前面加一个was，则应该选B，构成非限制性定语从句。
3..In my opinion, all Mr Tom ______ good to his students in his class at present. He is very strict in their study.(2006连云港3月质检)
A. does does does B. does do do
C. does does do D. did do does
选C。Mr Tom does为定语从句修饰all,后面的does do是谓语动词的强调形式。do good to是“对…….有好处”的意思。
4. The news is spreading around the airport is a heavy storm is coming. ( 2007扬州高三调研)
A. what; / B. that; that
C. /; that D. that; which
选B。本题主要考查从句中连接词语的用法。同位语从句及表语从句中的连接词that虽然没有任何意思，也不充当任何成分，但一般不能省略，因此本题答案选B。
5. The picture of the park memories of our class’s trip last year, when Mr. Smith began to take charge of our class.(2007汕头四月模拟卷)
A. called up B. reminded
C. turned up D. came up
选A。call up 唤起对……的回忆；remind的用法是remind sb. of sth.。
6.When he realized the police had seen him, the man the exit as quickly as possible.(原创)
A. made up B. made for
C. made out D. made off
选B。make for…表示“向某地走去”；make off 后常接介词，表示“从……跑掉”；make out 有“看出；理解；开(收据等)；进展；装出”等含义；make up有“编造；和解；弥补；化装；构成”等含义。
7.— Would you like to go to the cinema with me this evening?(2007广东东莞3月模拟卷)
— I’d like to, but I won’t be free tonight. Let’s make ____ some other day.
A. it B. them C. you D. this
选A。make it表示“按时到达某处(目的地);成功”。又如:A: You have just 15 minutes to get your train.(你只有15分钟时间去赶乘这班火车了。) B: All right, I guess I can make it.(没关系,我想我赶得上。)
8. ____ you may be right , I can’t agree completely.(原创)
A. While B. As C. If D. Since
? 选A。while用作从属连词时,可表示“尽管、虽然”,引导一个让步状语从句。
9.The man used to ___________ up early had his leg broken.(2007南通高考预测卷)
A. getting B. get C. got D. have got
选A。used to getting up early是形容词短语作定语修饰the man。有些学生受思维定势的影响错误把used to get up看作是定语从句，但没有关系代词who。有的同学把它看承是谓语，但本句已经有谓语had his leg broken,所以前面部分不可能是谓语，只能用作定语。
10.It’s said that the old lady died ________.(2007苏州高考预测卷)
A. happily B. happy C. happiness D. of happiness
选B。容易误选A。认为应该选副词来修饰动词。本题中的die相当于连系动词，所以后面应该接一个形容词作表语。类似的动词有：come, go , lie, stand, rise, fall, leave, sit, return, die等。
11. Many people have been ill from a strange disease these days, we’ve never heard of before.(2006山东潍坊5月质检)
A. one B. that C. it D. this
选A。one作同位语，指代前面的disease。
12. —What should we pay more attention to if we go north in winter, Mum?
—Nothing much. Take warm clothes . (2007苏锡常镇3月质检卷)
the weather is cold.
A. as long as B. now that
C. if D. in case
选D。本题主要考查连接词的意义及对句子间的意义、关系的理解。as long as 意思是“只要”，表示条件；now that 意思是“既然；由于”，表示原因；if意思是“如果”，表示条件；in care意思是“以防，万一；免得”，表示条件。根据句子间的意义及关系可知本题的正确答案选D。
13. — Is he said ____ his car lost? (2006湖北黄冈4月质检卷)
— Yes. He was so foolish ____ leave his car ____.
A. that…that…unlock
B. to have had…as to…unlocked
C. to have…to…unlock
D. to have…for him to…unlocked
选B。 Sb. is said to do sth. 据说某人干某事；它是It is said that sb. do sth.的变体。so…as to… 如此……以致……；而leave sth. done表示“使某物被…….”，它们之间为被动的关系。
14. The TV programme has on the children as as the old.(2007长沙3月质检卷)
A. a good effect; good
B. a positive effect; well
C. a good affect; well
D. affect; well
选B。have an effect on“对……有影响”；as well as “和……一样”。
15. ___ by a greater demand of vegetables, farmers have built more green house.(2007浙江卷)
A. Driven B. Being driven C. to drive D. Having driven
选A。本题考查非谓语作状语的用法。非谓语作状语时要遵循它的逻辑主语就是句子主语。
本题句子主语是动作的承受者。可由句中介词by看出。故选A。
二．完形填空(共20题，每小题1.5分，满分30分)

1. D 由上文I am the sign of life and hope可知“没有我，其它的动物就会死亡。”
2. A 由下文的“天空和海洋”，结合上文的“草、树、叶”可知，此处指“陆地”。
3. C 此处是一个强调句型：It be +被强调部分+that从句。
4. B 此处与第一段的最后一句有异曲同工的作用，意为“没有我，你们全都没有”。
5. A 此选项应与前面的laughter, fun一样表示积极向上的词，而sadness，depression，anxiety都表示“消极”的意义。

12. C 由谓语动词pour down可知，副词用violently来表示“猛烈、激烈”。
13. B 由谓语crouched down及下文“互相缩成一团”可知：它们处于“恐惧之中”。
14. A 三者或三者以上相互之间应用介词among。
15. D 句中的动词dominate意为“支配”，根据上文的内容，他们极力说自己的优点，想超出对方，因此用the rest表示除自己之外的所有其它颜色。
16. D 由for a special purpose可知，各种颜色都有自己的特殊用途，它们各自的特点是其它颜色没有的，因此用unique and different来表示“独特的和与众不同的”。
17. C 此处表示三者以上的“互相，彼此”，要用one another。
18. C 由下文joined hands可知，颜色们联合起来，团结在一起。
19. B 此处是拟人化的表达，wash有“冲洗”之意。此处意为“每当一场大雨之后”。
20. A 它们团结在一起形成了美丽的彩虹，所以颜色们都记住要彼此欣赏。

Dear SJ,
Losing a best friend is never easy. Your problem, SJ is not just that you miss your best friend, it is that you feel empty and lost without her friendship.
It takes time to get over a loss, and during that time, your mind is getting used to a new way of being. This is usually a good thing, even if it feels like a bad thing.
Now that you are on your own, you are being forced to learn to be by yourself and to rely upon your own inner voice for guidance. I am sure that this feels strange for you, but if you can hang on for a bit, it may work to your advantage.
Best friends are cool, but it is important to know the difference between missing someone and being too dependent upon them.
At your age, girls do tend to stick together and having a boy friend may not yet be the better choice. Your friend is a little ahead of herself in leaving you, her best friend, for a boyfriend. Boy friends are completely different from best friends; the distinction being that boyfriends come and go, while girl friends often stay in your life throughout high school, and even afterwards. It is a completely different sort of bond.
I suggest that you take advantage of this period in your life to expand your horizons. Enjoy the freedom of having no best friend for a while, and hang with the group. By the time your former best friend breaks up with her boyfriend, you will be in a completely different place, a far better place; in your head that is.
And, by the way, next time that you feel empty and lost, try to write about it in a diary or just simply on paper. In several months, you will look back and read it with curiosity about yourself.
"Who was I then, and what could I have been thinking?"(2007苏州5月调研卷)

Photos that you might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business!
In 2005, the American artist Richard Prince’s photograph of a photograph, Untitled (Cowboy), was sold for $ 1, 248, 000.
Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called “found photographs”—a loose term given to everything from discarded(丢弃的) prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a stranger’s family album. The German artist Joachim Schmid, who believes “basically everything is worth looking at”, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982. In his on-going project, Archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on.
Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍卫) found photographs. One of them, called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note intended for someone else: “Why’s your car HERE at HER place?” The note became the starting point for Rothbard’s addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such a poster discovered in our drawer.
The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? And if so, whose art? Yet found photographs produced by artists, such Richard Prince, may riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? Or how did Prince create this photograph? It’s anyone’s guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us? Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? Will they mean anything to anyone after we’ve gone?
In the absence of established facts, the vast collections of found photographs give our minds an opportunity to wander freely. That, above all, is why they are so fascinating.(2007山东高考卷)
6. The first paragraph of the passage is used to _________.
A. remind readers of found photographs B. advise reader to start a new kind of business
C. ask readers to find photographs behind sofa D. show readers the value of found photographs
答案:D。注：从下面的一段就可以知道。
7. According to the passage, Joachim Schmid _________.
A. is fond of collecting family life photographs B. found a complaining not under his car wiper
C. is working for several self-published magazines
D. wondered at the artistic nature of found photographs
答案:A。注：第三段倒数第一句：he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on.
8. The underlined word “them” in Para 4 refers to __________.
A. the readers B. the editors
C. the found photographs D. the self-published magazines
答案:D。注：根据其后的说明called simply Found及find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note。
9. By asking a series of questions in Para 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that ________.
A. memory of the past is very important to people
B. found photographs allow people to think freely
C. the back-story of found photographs is puzzling
D. the real value of found photographs is questionable
答案:B。注：最后一段作出结论。the vast collections of found photographs give our minds an opportunity to wander freely.
10. The author’s attitude towards found photographs can be described as _________.
A. critical B. doubtful C. optimistic D. satisfied

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）
One thing Britain is famous for is pubs, and not trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country.
Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country. They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.
There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and is usually served at room temperature. As a result, the British are famous for their ‘warm beer’! If you prefer a cold beer, ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in colour whereas bitter is usually a darker brown. All beers are served as pints (500ml) or halves (250ml). To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer. So, you could say “ .”
Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka. It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol. Non－alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others.
If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your ‘round’. This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake! Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.
So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, “cheers!”

Dear friends，
Everybody is likely to have fl case of too much nervousness．But by recognizing this problem，we are taking the first step towards overcoming it．
Believe it or not，proper nervousness ___________________________
One possible version:
Dear friends,
Everybody is likely to have a case of too much nervousness. But by recognizing the problem, we are taking the first step towards overcoming it.
Believe or not, proper nervousness has its advantages．Like in sports events to make athletes gain good results, it can also sharpen our mind，thus allowing us to perform well in exams．
However, too much nervousness can result in sleeplessness, harming our health. What’s worse， it can make our mind at a loss. As a consequence，our mistakes increase in exams，and we may even fail to write any answers．
Several methods can be used to solve above problem．Firstly，review our lessons well，which can make us have more confidence and 1ess anxiety. Secondly, take some deep breaths to calm down at the beginning of any exam. Last but not least, always keep this in mind： ‘‘I’ve studied hard，so I’m sure to do the best I can.
That’s all Thank you.

Colour blindness is a condition in which a person cannot see all colors. This defect(缺陷) is more common in men than in women. About 60 million people in China suffer from such a defect. Usually they can see only two basic colors and live in a black and white world. They are often unable to tell other colors, especially red from green. This defect can bring about problems because many colour-blind people do not realize that their eyesight is defective. They have learned to use the colour names that everyone else uses, and they fail to know that they do not see the colors that others see. There is a risk that their condition may place them in danger. If they mix up red with green, for example, they may be able to tell traffic signals only by their brightness. Scientists believe that color blindness is a defect received from the parents and grandparents, and no medical treatment can make these people see as well as other. However, the well-known eye doctor Zhao Wenging, who has invented looking glasses to help those suffering from color blindness, said that when some of these people tried his invention, their joy was hard to imagine. Somebody said it was like the window that had suddenly been thrown open to his soul. From then on he saw such a beautiful world.
11. Most colour-blind people can’t tell __________.
A. black from white B. red from green
C. the two basic colors D. any colors
12. How many people in China are colour-blind?
A. About one out of twenty.
B. About six out of one hundred.
C. About one out of six.
D. About four out of one thousand.
13. Color blindness may cause problems because those who suffer it __________.
A. do not use color names correctly
B. do not know they can’t see all colors
C. do not see traffic signals
D. do not realize their eye conditions are in danger
14. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Color-blind people can’t see so well as normal persons.
B. Color-blind people may meet with dangers because of this defect.
C. Color-blind people can’t do special jobs.
D. Color-blind people parents may also have such defect.

Clothing is a language. It tells us something about a person: his personality, his age, his place in society and so on. If we want to know more about a society, we can look at its traditional clothing.
The continent of Africa has a long history and a rich culture, and this is shown in traditional dress. You often find three colors—red, gold and green –in the clothing. The first color stands for the blood of millions of people who suffered as slaves； the second is for the rich resources of the African land; the third represents the grasslands of the continent.
The patterns on the clothing also have a meaning. A common pattern is in the form of a cross “X”, which stands for “unity”. Another pattern is a rectangular (长方形的) box, which represents “strength”.
Because clothing has a strong social meaning, people are very careful in choosing what to wear. It would be a serious mistake to wear wrong clothing, or to wear clothes in the wrong way. For example, in Ghana, a woman should wear her waistband (腰带) differently according to the importance of a social event.
Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life. African designs are famous for loose clothing. The climate, with the hot sun and changeable temperatures, requires (要求) that the clothes be comfortable for daily life.
Although many people wear Western clothes, particularly in the big cities in Africa, traditional African dress is very highly valued. This is because it has deep cultural meanings.
15. The main topic of this passage is about _________.
A. the history of clothes in Africa
B. fashionable patterns of African dress
C. the meanings of traditional African dress
D. the reason for loose clothing in Africa
16. According to the passage, the red color in traditional African dress _________.
A. represents the setting sun
B. stands for African unity
C. is chosen because of its bright color
D. is a reminder of its sad history
17. In Africa, clothes should be dressed properly according to different situations, because
_______.
A. the climate there is changeable
B. clothing has a strong social meaning
C. people will be punished if they don’t wear suitable clothes
D. other people want to know the person’s personality
18. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage about traditional African dress?
A. Colors. B. Social meanings.
C. Materials. D. Designs.

There is no doubt about it. The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously (无意识地). I don’t mean while you’re unconscious. I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.
That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary by living in an English-speaking world, mother tongue. I just pick them up. But some of them may be misunderstood. Now, to misunderstand does not mean not to understand. To misunderstand is to understand but incorrectly.
The 5% mislearnt of all the words we “Know” will be the least frequently used words, as the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt. Some of the misunderstandings may live with all our lives, without knowing that we got them wrong.
Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in one’s own mother tongue can be used for a second language learning. They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game. “There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across,” they will say. “You have to practice guessing what the word means from the context.”
This method of guessing in a second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases, but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.
And what’s more, there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves. Our learners’ dictionaries usually have many meanings. A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible.
Don’t guess! Look it up!
21. It is certain that the best way to learn new words it _________.
A. to learn them by oneself
B. to learn by living in an English-speaking world and using them frequently
C. to guess them from the context
D. to get more separate meanings of each word
22. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. the 30,000 words B. English teachers
C. misunderstood words D. frequently used words
23. Which of the following is most likely NOT true?
A. Some of the words the writer knows must have been misunderstood.
B. Most of the 30,000 words the writer learned are frequently used ones.
C. How many words the writer got wrong are not known.
D. All the words the writer knows were learned by reading them.
24. It can be inferred that ___________.
A. when somebody is conscious, he or we usually can’t learn new words by heart
B. We must use the words as often as possible in order to master them
C. it’s the best way to learn new words that one should only guess their meanings from the context
D. only dictionaries can help us learn language well

A
“I can’t believe it. These blooms have lasted so long this year,” my wife said.
“I hadn’t really thought about it, but you are right. As much as I love lilacs(紫丁香), they come and go so fast,” I said.
It has been incredibly exciting this year here in my backyard. Our lilac tree has produced the most blooms I have ever seen. The scent is so wonderful that I spend a lot of time just standing on our small deck(露台) breathing it all in.
Many of the branches are hollow(空的) and cracked leaving me to believe it has seen many springs. A few winters ago one of the biggest branches crashed to the ground under the weight of melting snow. It broke my heart. I guess I wasn’t expecting much from the old thing this year. But it is magnificent!
Since we have been experiencing so much rain lately the flowers have become heavier. The once tall bush seems to be under a lot of pressure. I can relate to that.
Sadly, today I noticed the first bunch of flowers turning brown. It won’t be long until they are all gone. But here’s what I’ve learned from it.
Some people are like fragrant(芬芒的，香的) flowers. They come into our lives ever so briefly and leave behind a scent that remains embedded(植入的，深入的) in our being. They brighten your day by just having had contact with them even if for a moment. If kindness had a scent, it would remind you of them.
1. According to the writer, which of the following is NOT the proper understanding of the lilacs?
A. fragrant , lovely B. pretty-looking, strong-willed
C. hollow , dying D. brief bloom, lasting beauty
2. Which of the following is true according to the passage.
A. The writer is sad because the lilacs will die soon.
B. The writer is a sensitive girl.
C. What struck the writer was just the scent of the lilacs.
D. The writer has cared much for the lilacs since years ago.
