A.is B.are C.was D.were
答案:A　本题考查主谓一致。由于主语部分poet和artist的前面只用了一个限定词，所以这里应该是指具有双重身份的一个人，所以谓语动词要用单数。
2.(2010福建模拟)—It's burning hot today,isn't it
—Yes. _______yesterday.
A.So was it B.So it was C.So it is D.So is it
答案:A　从上文的今天很热，到下文的yesterday，可以推知这里要说的是：昨天也很热，那么应该用so was it，表示情况同样如此。

答案:D　本题考查使用名词作宾语补足语的动词句型。能够用于这种句型的只能是D。
6. _______other good students,the teacher thinks,Hank is_______student.
A.Compared with;a most satisfied B.Compared to;the most satisfied
C.Comparing to;the more satisfying D.Compared with;a more satisfying
答案:D　（1）“与……相比”用compare...with...或compare...to...；（2）Hank是compare的承受者，所以用过去分词；（3）两者比较用比较级more；（4）表示“让人满意的”要用现在分词。综合这四点要选择D项。
7.Nothing_______after the terrible fire which had been caused by someone smoking in bed.
A.continued B.kept C.left D.remained
答案:D　大火之后没有什么东西剩下来了。从这一句意可知应该用表示“剩下”这个词义的动词，那么只有C和D，但leave必须用被动才行，所以答案为D。

A.on board B.on the board
C.on ship D.on the ship
答案:A　on board为固定短语，登船，登机。

A.to tell truth B.to have told the truth
C.having the truth D.having told the truth
答案:B　believe的后面可以跟不定式作宾语补足语，同时从句意来看，tell the truth这个动作应该是发生在believe之前，所以要用不定式的完成式。
10.The building project_______next year is,I think,not easy_______in time.
A.being carried out；to complete
B.carried out；to be completed
C.to be carried out；to complete
D.to be carried out；to be completed
答案:C　前面的短语carry out应该是用作定语，修饰project，同时又是将要发生的，所以要用不定式，而且要用被动形式，即to be carried out；后面用不定式的主动形式，跟在形容词的后面作状语，这种状语要用不定式的主动形式，即to complete。
11.I'm afraid that this plan is hard to_____though you didn't have much difficulty in making it.
A.carry out B.put out C.turn out D.come out
答案:A　计划的实施用短语carry out。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Books are to mankind what memory is to people.They contain the stories of our race, the discoveries we have made and the experiences of ages.They picture the wonders and beauties of nature for us,help us in our difficulties,comfort us in our sorrow and suffering,change hours of tiredness into moments of delight,give our minds ideas,fill them with good and happy thoughts,and lift us above ourselves.
Many of those who have had,as we say,all this world can give,have told us that they owe much of their happiness to books.Macaulay has wealth and fame,rank and power,and yet he tells us in his autobiography that he owes the happiest hours of his life to books.He says,“Son could become the greatest king who ever lived with palaces,gardens,fine dinners and wines,with coaches,beautiful clothes,and with the condition that he should not read books,I would not be that king.I would choose to be a poor man in a garret(顶楼)with plenty of books than a king who does not love reading.”
So precious and priceless is the happiness that books throw onto our daily paths.We walk in imagination with the noblest spirits through the most wonderful regions.
We may walk to the farthest regions of the earth,or fly into regions when Spenser's shapes collect to meet us,or where Milton's angels(天使)sing the songs of paradise(天堂).Science,art,literature,and philosophy—all that man has thought,all that man has done,the experience that have been gained from the suffering of a thousand generations—are all gathered for us in the world of books.
1.What does the author mainly tell us in the passage
A.Books brings us more happiness than anything else.
B.Human beings can keep memory of everything with the aid of books.
C.A king may not like books but he likes them.
D.Books contain everything that human beings need.
2.According to the article，which of the following about books is NOT true？
A.Books show us the wonders and beauties of nature.
B.Books help us in our difficulties.
C.Books keep us in sorrow and suffering.
D.Books give us ideas.
3.Macaulay tells us that he owes the happiest hours of his life to_______.
A.wealth B.books C.fame D.rank
4.Macaulay would rather be_______ .
A.a poor man with plenty of books
B.a king with no books
C.a servant
D.a poor man
5.Science,art,literature,and philosophy are gathered for us in_______.
A.thoughts B.experiences
C.sufferings D.the world of books
答案:这是一篇议论文，论点是：书本是人们快乐的源泉。
1.A　主旨大意题。作者通过本文告诉读者，书能给人带来快乐，比做国王，住皇宫要幸福得多。B、D两项都是干扰项，并不是作者真正想在本文中说明的。
2.C　这细节理解题。根据这句话“They picture the wonders and beauties of nature for us,help us in our difficulties,comfort us in our sorrow and suffering.”可以知道答案。
3.B　这是一细节理解题。根据第二段第二句话得出答案。
4.A　这是一细节理解题。根据这句话“I would choose to be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who does not love reading.”可以得出答案。
5.D　推理题，根据最后一段的最后一句话可得出答案。
B
More surprising,perhaps,than the present difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and thriving(兴旺).As Skolnick notes,Americans are a marrying people:relative to Europeans,more of us marry and we marry at a younger age.Moreover,after a drop in the early 1970s,the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing.Even the divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context:some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry.Thus,marriage remains by far the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.
What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family.Twenty-five years ago,the typical American family was made up of a husband,a wife,and two or three children.Now,there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children.And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wife's former marriage,or the husband's,or both.Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage;sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses(配偶).
Thus,one can find every type of family arrangement.There are marriages without children;marriages with children from only the present marriage;marriages with “full-time” children from both the present and former marriages;marriages with “full-time” children from the present marriage and “part-time” children from former marriages.There are stepfathers,stepmothers,half-brothers,and half-sisters.It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents!These are great changes from the traditional nuclear family.But even so,even in the midst of all this,there remains one constant:Most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.
6.By calling American marrying people the author means that_______.
A.Americans are more traditional than Europeans
B.Americans expect more out of marriage than Europeans
C.there are more married couples in U.S.A.than in Europe
D.more of Americans,as compared with Europeans,prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age
7.Divorced Americans_______.
A.prefer the way they live
B.will most likely remarry
C.have lost faith in marriage
D.are the vast majority of people in the society
8.Which of the following can be presented as the picture of today's American families
A.Many types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable.
B.A typical American family is made up of only a husband and a wife.
C.Americans prefer to have more kids than before.
D.There are no nuclear families any more.
9.“Part-time” children_______.
A.spend some of their time with their half brothers and some of their time with their half-sisters
B.spend all of their time with one parent from the previous marriage
C.are shared between the two former spouses
D.cannot stay with “full-time” children
10.Even though great changes have taken place in the structure of American families, ______.
A.the vast majority of Americans still have faith in marriage
B.the functions of marriage remain unchanged
C.most Americans prefer a second marriage
D.most divorced Americans would rather not remarry
答案:这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了现在美国人对婚姻的看法和上个世纪比较起来有了很大的改变，人们结婚的比率在上升。
6.D　细节推断题。根据第一段第二句“As Skolnick notes,Americans are a marrying people:relative to Europeans,more of us marry and we marry at a younger age”,可知D为正确答案。
7.B　细节认定题。第一段最后一句明确指出，“大约80%的离婚者再婚。我们社会绝对大多数人更喜欢过婚姻生活”。A、C、D三项的表述与事实不符。
8.A　主旨大意题。美国社会接受多种类型的家庭组合方式。文章第二、三段指出，目前美国家庭的组合方式与传统的核心家庭相比发生了很大的变化。这种变化反映在孩子与家庭成员的关系上。分析四个选项，B、D两项与事实不符；家庭结构的变化不能说明传统的核心家庭不存在了，因此D项的观点太片面。
9.C　细节认定题。“part-time children”是指父母离婚后由父母交替抚养的孩子。第二段最后一句指出了离婚家庭的两种孩子，即“part-time children”和“full-time children”。根据第三段的描述，“full-time children” 是指夫妻双方目前的孩子，或目前与现父母住在一起的前婚的孩子；“part-time children” 则是由离婚父母交替抚养的孩子。由此判断，C项是正确的；A、D两项不对；B项所说的是“full-time children”。
10.A　推理判断题。第一段最后一句和第三段最后一句为本文的主题句，即大多数美国人喜欢过婚姻生活，而且过着婚姻生活。这是不变的事实（constant）。由此看出，美国人对婚姻是有信心的。本文没有涉及B和C的观点。
Ⅳ.对话填空

答案:本段对话的话题是：中学生现在普遍面临的一个问题——与别人缺少交往，交流。文章中对如何解决这个问题提了一些建议。
1.lonely　从话题和下文的“have a good friend”都可以知道该学生应该是感到孤独。
2.hardly　由于所有的时间都花在学习上，所以和别人说话的时间就很少了，这里指的是很少和人交谈，所以用hardly来表示半否定的意思。
3.common　这样的现象在中学生中非常普遍，common“普遍的”。
4.lack　从上文的“believe in yourself”可知，Mr.Smith说他缺乏自信心。
5.smile　从下文的“your smile”可知这里应该是建议要对想要交谈的人报以微笑。
6.talking　建议的主题是和别人交谈，所以用talk，但是try后面要跟doing，所以用talking，意思是“试着和别人交谈”。
7.shares　对交谈的对象Mr.Smith也有建议：要有共同兴趣的，share the same interest指的是“有共同兴趣”。
8.also　从上文的“talk about your studies”到下文的“talk about the hobbies”可知，既谈什么，也要谈什么，所以用also。
9.confidence　从前面的内容可知，一旦有了自信心，就会交很多的朋友了。
10.feeling　听了Mr.Smith的一番话之后，心情开朗多了，所以这里说：I’m feeling much better now.

答案:
Parents meeting is a good way of communication between the school,teachers and students.It means to improve the study of the students.But different students have different opinions about it.
Some are for it,some are against it and others don’t care about it.
My opinion is that parents meeting is of great value.Because the parents can know more about their children;besides,they can also follow the teachers’ instructions better.
So I’m for the idea and my parents take great delight to take part in it.And usually we talk a lot about it.
