参考答案
一、1.
D 考查状语从句。“It
be＋一段时间＋since从句”意为“自从……已多久了”。且since
所在的从句用一般过去时，主句用一般现在时或现在完成时。句意：据报道，清华大学从建校到现在，已有100年了。before
常用在It
will
be
some
time/won't
be
long
before...
结构中，表示“要过多长时间才/用不了多久就……”。
2.
D 考查连词。句意：他刚一结束演讲，学生们就开始欢呼起来。no
sooner...than＝hardly...when
“一……就……”，是固定搭配。故选D项。
3.
A 考查从属连词。as
soon
as意为“一……就……”，引导表示时间的状语从句，强调这个动作一发生，另一个动作立即发生。unless“除非，如果不”；as
far
as“直到……之处为止，远达”；until“到……为止，直到……(才)”，都不符合题意。
4.
C 考查时间状语从句。根据句意排除B项。句意：由于交通拥挤，她到办公室时，已经是午休时间了。since“自从”；until“直到……”。
5.
C 考查非谓语动词。分析题干结构可知，if从句中缺少主语，所以应该用动词的非谓语形式。另外，根据题意可知，定期适量的体育运动会改善我们的身体状况，if从句中的逻辑主语中心词“exercise”和动词短语“carry
out(开展，执行，履行)之间为被动关系，所以应该用过去分词形式，答案为C项。
6.
A 考查从属连词。句意：女孩刚要按响门铃，门就突然被打开了，她的朋友冲出来迎接她。根据主句和从句谓语动词的时态可判断出应用before；until用于否定句时，表示“直到……才……”；as“当……时候；由于，因为”；since“自从；既然”。故选A项。
7.
C 考查状语从句。句意：约翰认为不久他就会为新工作做好准备。It's/It
has
been＋一段时间＋since...“自从……”；It
is/was＋具体时间点＋when...“当……时，已是……”；It
will
be/was＋一段时间＋before...“多久之后就/才……”。都是固定句型。由句意以及固定句型的搭配可知，只有C项正确。
8.
C so
that“以便于；以致”，引导目的或结果状语从句；although“尽管”，引导让步状语从句；while“在……期间；在……的时候”，引导时间状语从句；as
if“好像”，引导表语从句或方式状语从句。句意：当她的客人们将要结束用餐的时候，玛丽煮了咖啡。
9.
C 考查分词作状语。分析语法结构可知句子的主语是I，和空格处的动词构成被动关系，故选择C项。be
tired
from意为“由于……劳累”。句意：每天晚上晚饭后，如果上班后不累我就会花一些时间遛狗。
10.
C when引导时间状语从句。
11.
A immediately
作连词，表示
“立即，一……就……”，同as
soon
as。
12.
D It
was＋some
time＋before...“过了多久才……”。
二、1.

4.

5.

三、
1.B except意为“除了……之外”，可接名词、代词等；except
for意为“除……之外，只是”，表示整体与部分的关系；except
when意为“除了……的时候”。except也可接that从句，that无实际意义，只起连接作用，在此用法和语境都符合，因此选B项。
2．D 此处oil是动词，意为“上油，涂油”。句意：她唱的一些高音听起来像开关没有上油的门时发出的声音。
3．A 她非常清楚这个弱点(weakness)。
4．C 因此她利用每一个能找到的“机会”练唱。
5．A “练习”唱这些高音。由下文中的
“practised
her
high
notes
there”也可找到答案。
6．B interrupt意为“打断，妨碍，插嘴”；disturb意为“打扰，扰乱”。根据句意可知答案应为B项。
7．D 因为怕影响别人，她“通常”沿乡村小路走很远去练唱。
8．D whenever意为“无论何时”，与语境吻合。
9．C 从下文中的“...so
fast
that
she
didn't
hear
it...”可找到答案。
10．D 无论什么时候她听见有车或有人经过，就停下来“等到”别人听不见她唱为止。
11．A before意为“在……之前”，可译为“……才”。句意：等到别人听不见她(唱)才开始再练。
12．A 她没有听见车开过来，因此是“无声地，静静地”。
13．C 直到车子离她“只有”几米远她才听见。
14．B 当车从她身边
“开过去”
时。
15．D 从下文可知，司机听到声音，误以为是车胎爆了，因此脸上是“焦急的”表情。
16．C its是形容词性物主代词作定语，its
driver指前面提到的车的司机。
17．C 司机刹车，并且车一停他就跳下车开始“检查”所有的轮胎。
18．B what引导宾语从句，在从句中作表语。句意：她不敢告诉司机他听到的真正的噪音是什么。
19．D 前后句之间为因果关系，因此选so。句意：于是他回到车上把车开走了。
20．B 司机认为车胎爆了，但却找不到毛病，因此他感到“迷惑”。课后训练

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
Most
people
want
to
know
how
things
are
made.They
honestly
admit，however，that
they
hardly
know
a
thing
when
it
comes
to
understanding
how
a
piece
of
music
is
made.Where
a
composer
begins，how
he
manages
to
keep
going—in
fact，how
and
where
he
learns
his
trade—all
are
covered_in_complete_darkness.The
composer，in
short，is
a
man
of
mystery.One
of
the
first
things
the
common
man
wants
to
know
about
is
the
part
inspiration(灵感)plays
in
a
composer's
work.He
finds
it
difficult
to
believe
that
composers
are
not
much
interested
in
that
question.Writing
music
is
as
natural
for
the
composer
as
eating
or
sleeping
for
all.Music
is
something
that
the
composer
happens
to
have
been
born
for.
The
composer，therefore，does
not
say
to
himself：“Do
I
feel
inspired？”
He
says
to
himself：“Do
I
feel
like
working
today？”
And
if
he
feels
like
working，he
does.It
is
more
or
less
like
saying
to
himself：“Do
I
feel
sleepy？”
If
you
feel
sleepy，you
go
to
sleep.If
you
don't
feel
sleepy，you
stay
up.If
the
composer
doesn't
feel
like
working，he
doesn't
work.It's
as
simple
as
that.
36．What
would
be
the
best
title
for
the
text
A．Composer：a
man
of
mystery
B．Practice
makes
good
music
C．Relation
between
sleeping
and
music
D．Music：product
of
nature
37．The
underlined
words
“covered
in
complete
darkness”
in
Paragraph
1
most
probably
mean
“______”．
A．difficult
to
be
made
B．without
any
light
C．black
in
color
D．not
known
38．Most
people
seem
to
think
that
a
composer
______.
A．finds
it
difficult
to
write
music
B．considers
it
important
to
have
a
good
rest
C．should
like
to
talk
about
inspiration
D．never
asks
himself
very
simple
questions
39．The
author
will
most
probably
agree
that
composers
______.
A．are
born
with
a
gift
for
music
B．are
people
full
of
mystery
C．work
late
at
night
for
their
music
D．know
a
lot
about
eating
and
sleeping
B
The
key
to
a
good
interpersonal
relationship
is
simple
once
you
understand
the
role
that
needs
play
in
making
a
relationship
weak，moderate，average，or
strong.
A
person
who
fails
in
a
relationship
is
someone
who
neglects
the
needs
of
his
or
her
partner.So
the
first
step
to
establish
a
successful
relationship
is
to
find
out
what
needs
the
other
person
has.It
is
also
very
important
to
understand
your
own
needs
so
that
you
can
help
the
other
person
in
the
relationship
to
meet
your
needs.
Unfortunately，not
only
do
many
people
fail
to
see
or
to
understand
their
partner's
needs，but
they
do
not
understand
their
own.Children
have
wonderful
relationships
with
their
parents
as
long
as
their
needs
are
being
satisfied.When
the
needs
are
not
satisfied，the
relationship
changes
and
problems
arise.As
a
child
grows，needs
change；it
is
necessary
that
parents
recognize
these
changes.As
it
is
with
the
child
to
the
parents，it
is
also
with
the
parents
to
the
child.
The
way
to
recognize
the
needs
of
other
people
is
by
their
responses
to
you.When
you
do
or
say
something
and
you
get
a
positive
response，you
are
well
on
the
way
to
being
recognized.The
same
goes
for
you.What
is
it
that
you
respond
to
in
a
positive
manner？What
do
you
feel
good
about
getting
and
about
doing？What
are
you
totally
guiltless
about？What
can
you
do
with
complete
confidence
and
fearlessness？What
emotional
scene
can
you
control
without
fear
or
guilt？Look
in
these
areas
for
your
needs
and
you
will
in
all
probability
find
your
answers.
As
stated，our
own
needs
are
often
hidden.The
techniques
covered
in
the
power
of
self mind
control
will
allow
you
to
discover
your
needs
and
show
you
who
you
are
in
regard
to
interpersonal
relationships.Your
effectiveness
in
influencing
and
dealing
with
people
will
greatly
increase
the
power
of
self mind
control.

Listening
to
music
can
help
me
focus
better.Since
I
discovered
it
two
years
ago，I've
used
music
to
get
through
boring
work
or
to
focus
creatively.I've
found
that
it
can
make
even
the
dullest
jobs
enjoyable
and
help
clear
mental
blocks
to
creativity.
I
first
noticed
the
good
effects
of
music
while
playing
video
games.It
was
a
few
days
before
Christmas
in
2005
and
I
was
playing
online
video
games.My
parents
had
just
given
me
a
new
MP3，so
I
decided
to
listen
to
music
through
the
headphones
while
I
played.After
a
few
minutes
I
noticed
a
great
change
in
my
style
of
play.I
was
playing
more
naturally.The
music
relaxed
me，and，to
a
certain
extent，distracted
me
from
the
game，allowing
my
subconscious(潜意识的)talent
to
come
through.The
music
also
helped
me
block
out
the
outside
world.With
those
headphones
on
I
was
like
a
machine，moving
from
one
task
to
the
next
without
unnecessary
thoughts
or
actions.
Music
can
also
have
a
great
effect
on
mood.If
I'm
in
a
bad
mood
at
work，I'll
listen
to
some
of
Bob
Marley's
and
get
down
to
business.It
always
takes
my
mind
off
what
I'm
doing
and
makes
me
a
happier
person.The
same
is
true
for
classic
rock.One
summer，I
did
a
boring
job
collecting
bottle
openers
by
hand.Without
a
radio
playing
classic
rock
in
the
background，I
would
have
hated
life.
Listening
to
music
with
relaxing
rhythms
and
a
positive
message
helps
you
forget
your
work
and
think
happy
thoughts.But
the
results
you
see
will
depend
heavily
on
your
personal
tastes.Experiment
with
the
types
of
music
you
listen
to
during
certain
tasks.By
trial
and
error
you'll
finally
discover
your
best
choice.I'm
always
looking
for
new
concentration
aids，so
I'd
love
to
know
what
type
of
music
works
best
for
me.

The
Blues
The
blues
was
born
on
the
Mississippi
River
Delta
in
the
early
1900s.After
the
Civil
War，the
slaves
were
free
but
life
was
still
not
easy.They
had
to
find
new
work.In
the
South，work
camps
were
formed.Black
people
from
these
camps
worked
on
farms
and
on
building
up
the
Mississippi
River
banks.During
the
week，the
people
worked
long
and
hard.They
often
lived
alone，without
their
families，far
from
home.On
the
weekends，the
workers
got
together
at
picnics
or
drinking
places.Travelling
black
musicians
with
guitars
entertained
them.The
musicians
sang
songs
about
the
difficult
life
of
the
workers.These
songs
were
called
the
blues.
If
you
have
the
blues，it
means
you
feel
very
sad.But
blues
songs
were
not
always
sad.Some
of
them
were
happy
and
many
of
them
were
funny.
Early
blues
singers
often
had
very
interesting
names
like
Blind
Lemon，Jefferson
and
Howlin
Wolf.Sometimes，the
blues
singers
had
song
contests.Each
singer
sang
new
words
or
a
new
style
of
the
blues
song.They
made
up
the
music
as
they
played.In
this
way
they
created
new
music.This
is
called
improvisation(即兴表演)．Later，improvisation
became
a
very
important
part
of
jazz
music.Blues
began
in
the
country
in
the
South.As
black
people
moved
into
the
big
cities
to
work，the
blues
went
with
them.There，they
sang
about
life
in
the
cities.W.C.Handy，a
black
hand
leader
from
Memphis
made
the
blues
popular
all
over
America.In
1914
he
wrote
the
most
famous
blues
song
of
all，“The
St.Louis
Blues”．
47．This
passage

A．the
birth
of
American
country
music

birth
of
jazz
music

Otherwise，trusting
others
is
one
of
the
most
difficult
things
to
do.Thus
it
is
important
to
teach
children
to
trust
themselves.
Reward
them
or
appreciate
them
for
every
right
and
punish
them
gently
for
every
wrong.__52__
As
a
result，we
often
ignore
whatever
right
they
do，but
are
quick
to
punish
their
wrongs.__53__
When
you
admit
their
achievements，no
matter
how
big
or
small，they
have
faith
in
you，simply
because
they
know
that
you
are
with
them
at
every
step.They
will
develop
faith
in
anyone
who
stands
by
them.Be
there
to
hold
their
hand.
__54__
One，for
example，is
when
your
toddler
is
taking
his
first
steps.The
little
one
when
walking
looks
towards
you.What
you
must
do
is
wait
at
such
a
distance
that
he
makes
every
attempt
the
first
couple
of
steps
and
yet
in
case
he
is
about
to
fall
you
can
catch
him
on
time.
Like
this
even
in
other
activities
like
cycling，you
have
to
be
there
so
that
he
knows
that
you
will
help
him
in
case
he
falls.__55__
It
is
only
in
the
formative
years
that
we
can
teach
our
child
how
to
trust
others
by
teaching
them
how
to
trust
us.And
in
all
this
lies
the
most
important
virtue
of
self
trust.
A．At
the
same
time，he
builds
up
the
self
confidence
in
this
skill
without
your
help.
B．And
for
this
as
a
parent
you
need
to
keep
encouraging
them.
C．And
this
is
where
they
lose
their
confidence.
D．Children
should
be
taught
to
learn
from
their
mistakes.
E．It
has
often
been
said
that
you
can
only
trust
others
when
you
trust
yourself
completely.
F．Sometimes
as
parents
we
are
too
anxious
to
bring
out
the
best
in
our
children.
G．There
are
certain
incidents
in
childhood
that
work
best
to
build
up
trust
in
your
child.

I
am
no

to
ask
people
for

As

can

up.Besides，after

On

of“代替”；in
spite
of“尽管”；rather
than“而不是”；far
from“远不是，远非”。根据句意答案应为D项。

devoted
to“致力于”。Devoted

6.
C therefore副词，“因此，因而”；meanwhile副词，“同时”；otherwise“否则，不然”；somehow副词，“由于某种原因，用某种方法”。句意：每一个成员应尽全力完成这份重要的工作，否则，不让他们按时回家。由句意分析，应选C项。

四、阅读理解
The
Beatles'
music
lives
on
The
news
that
albums
by
the
pop
and
rock
band
The
Beatles(披头士乐队)are
soon
to
be
re released
worldwide
is
sure
to
delight
their
fans.The
teenagers，now
adults，who
listened
to
them
back
in
the
1960s
likely
already
own
most
of
their
albums.
The
re release
of
The
Beatles'
music
catalogue(目录)is
clearly
aimed
at
today's
teenagers
who
want
to
discover
for
themselves
the
pop
band
their
parents
adored.It's
proof
of
the
genius(天才)of
the
fantastic
four's
music
that
today's
teenage
generation
want
to
listen
to
them.
A
four member
band
from
Liverpool，England，that
formed
in
1960
and
broke
up
in
1970，The
Beatles
were
one
of
the
most
commercially
successful
and
critically
acclaimed(称赞)bands
in
the
history
of
popular
music.The
two
most
famous
band
members
were
Paul
McCartney
and
John
Lennon.
The
band's
innovative(创新的)music
and
cultural
impact
helped
define
the
1960s，and
their
influence
on
pop
culture
is
still
evident
today.When
the
US
music
magazine
Rolling
Stone
made
a
list
in
2004
of
the
100
greatest
artists
of
all
time
it
surprised
no
one
that
they
gave
The
Beatles
the
top
spot
of
number
one.
So
why
nearly
40
years
after
the
band's
split
are
they
still
so
popular？According
to
Barry
Miles，Paul
McCartney's
biographer(传记作者)，the
answer
is
that
they
were
the
first
of
their
kind.“They
were
essentially(本质上地)the
first
rock
band.The
Beatles
were
the
first
of
the
British
singer songwriting
bands
and
they
just
happened
to
be
the
best.They
were
the
first
band
to
play
in
stadiums，to
have
their
own
products，they
were
ground breaking
in
every
way，”he
said.They
were
also
unbelievably
talented，as
Miles
also
pointed
out，“They
had
great
performing
and
songwriting
talent，not
only
John
and
Paul，but
George
wrote
some
fantastic
songs
and
the
likelihood
of
having
three
gifted
songwriters
in
the
same
band
is
very
remote.”
1．The
re release
of
The
Beatles'
albums
is
intended
for
______.
A．all
The
Beatles'
fans
B．today's
teenagers'
parents
C．today's
teenage
generation
D．those
who
were
teenagers

1960s
2．What's
the
purpose
of
the
fourth
paragraph
A．To
highlight
The
Beatles'
uniqueness.
B．To
show
The
Beatles'
great
influence.
C．To
introduce
The
Beatles'
achievements.
D．To
explain
why
The

broke
through
in
the
following
ways
EXCEPT
that
______.
A．they
were
the
first
rock
band
B．they
were
the
first
band
to
perform
in
stadiums
C．they
were
the
first
band
to
perform
all
around
the
world
D．they
were
among
the
first
British
bands
to
have
singer songwriters
4．What
can
we
conclude
after
reading
the
passage
A．The
Beatles
had
a
successful
start
but
an
unhappy
ending.
B．It's
not
rare
for
a
band
to
have
several
talented
songwriters.
C．The
band's
fans
in
the
1960s
have
lost
interest
in
The
Beatles
today.
D．Paul
McCartney
and
John
Lennon
wrote
most
of
the
songs
for
the
band.
5．Which
of
the
following
is
NOT
correct
according
to
the
passage
A．The
Beatles'
fans
now
grow
up
to
adults.

三、
1.
B 考查连词。句意：小偷正企图逃出商店时警察进来了。the
moment
“一……就……”。at
the
moment“此刻”；for
the
moment“暂时，眼下”；at
any
moment“在任何时候”。
2.
A 句意：传统的解决复杂问题的方法是把它们分解成较小的、更容易处理的问题。本题考查approach的用法，表示“做某事的方法”，用approach
to
sth.，这里的to是介词，后面接名词或动名词，因此A项正确。
3.
C 考查动词辨析。句意：昨天的梦想是今天的希望和明天的事实，这已经是被多次证明的了。occur
“发生”；appear“出现”；prove“证明，证实”；emerge“出现”。根据句意答案应为C项。
4.
C 考查名词词义辨析。crisis“危机”；urgency“紧急，紧迫”；emergency“紧急情况，突发事件”；emergence“出现，浮现”。
5.
D 本题考查prefer
to
do...rather
than
do...的倒装结构，句中rather
than后应接动词原形与后面的sell并列。
6.
B 句意：去年芝加哥的犯罪率明显下降。decline通常指数量的下降；lessen强调大小、程度、重要性的减小或减弱；descend指从高处到低处(下来)；slip指水平或标准的下降。
7.
A take
advantage
of
为固定搭配，意为“利用”。
8.
B side
by
side为固定搭配，意为“肩并肩地”。
9.
B 本题考查词义辨析。句意：在过去的一个赛季里，她的技术大有提高。technique在句中指the
skill
with
which
sb.
is
able
to
do
sth.；technology“科技”；technical形容词，“技术的，技能的，技巧的”；technician“技术员，技师”。
10.
D 在句型结构It
is
the
first
time
(that)．..中，从句常用现在完成时，故第一空为have
visited；第二空中，the
first
time为名词，相当于连词，引导时间状语从句，由主从句时态一致判断，应用came。
四、
1.C 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知C项正确。
2．B 段落大意题。第四段的写作主题是披头士乐队对20世纪60年代甚至是当代的影响。
3．C 事实判断题。文章的第五段提到披头士乐队的突破性成就，只有C项与原文不符，因此选C项。
4．D 推理判断题。由最后一段不难得出该乐队的部分歌曲是由约翰和保罗创作的。A项提到披头士乐队有一个成功的开始，原文中没有提及。B项和文章最后一句话不符。C项错误，当年的老歌迷并没有对披头士乐队失去兴趣，新的年轻歌迷又出现了。
5．C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“...the
answer
is
that
they
were
the
first
of
their
kind.”可知，C项表述错误，其他选项均符合原文，故选C项。
