Ⅱ.阅读理解
I always felt sorry for the people in wheelchairs. Some people, old and weak, cannot get around by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability,not a person.
Then I fainted(昏倒) at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after first aid. I agreed to take it easy, but as I stepped toward the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction! Feeling the colour burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.
I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me. As my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.
Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth.
"Stupid kids! They have perfectly good legs. Why can’t they watch where they are going?"I thought. People stared down at me,pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.
"I’m just like you!" I wanted to scream. "The only difference is that you’ve got legs,and I have wheels."
People in wheelchairs are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.
1.The author once ________ when she was healthy.
A.helped disabled people
B.looked down upon disabled people
C.imagined herself sitting in a wheelchair
D.saw some healthy people moving around in wheelchairs
2.Facing the wheelchair for the first time, the author ________.
A.felt curious about it
B.got ready to move around in it right away

A.life is the best teacher
B.people often eat their bitter fruit
C.life is so changeable that nobody can foretell
D.one should not do to others what he would not like others to do to him
4.What is the best title for this passage?

【文章大意】Shahrokh Zahiri的命途的确坎坷:尚未完成学业时父亲就去世了,28岁时患上了严重的疾病。可这些困难并没有吓倒他,他最终顽强地战胜了生活的苦难。
1. B 文章首句中提到Shahrokh的父亲去世了,他们家经济上很困难,所以他的生活应该是充满了艰难困
苦,故选hardship。
2. D 虽然家庭条件不好,Shahrokh却要拿到文学专业的学位证书了,他甚至(even)还要去学法律。
3. A 根据句中的who is working as well可知,他还需要工作,所以法律这个专业对他来说十分"困难"。
4. C Shahrokh学习很努力,并进入了德黑兰大学。上下文是逻辑上的顺承关系。
5. A Shahrokh考上了大学,他每周需要去上三次课,故用attend。
6. D 在上学之外的剩余时间里Shahrokh要工作养家。the rest"剩余部分"。
7. B 联系下文可推知,一直到28岁,Shahrokh的生活还算是顺利的。
8. D 由句中的转折连词but所表示的意义可推知,他虽然害怕,但是从没放弃(give up)希望。
9. C 结合上文中的all the troubles he had met in his life可知,他开始再一次与困难抗争(fight)。
10. A 上文提到他患了结核病,所以他这次的抗争是为了健康(health)。
11. D 由下文他的发展可推知,经过坚持不懈的努力,他终于(finally)成功地打败了疾病。
12. B 下文提到他在事业方面的巨大成功。由此可以推知,此处指他有"大"梦想。
13. A 由上文中的He had 12(big) dreams以及转折连词but可推知,他感觉自己好像离梦想(dream)越来越远。
14. C 凭借勇气,Shahrokh在42岁的时候开办了一家工厂,这说明他很有意志力,故选determined。
15. B 由常识可知,开办工厂自然要生产新的产品(product)。
16. D 联系Shahrokh的人生发展可得出这个结论:有信心就会成功(succeed)。
17. C Shahrokh没有太多钱财,但是他设法创立了一家公司。manage"设法做成"。
18. B 除非你读了Shahrokh的故事,不然你不会相信他会将事业发展得如此壮大。
19. A 上文提到他开办了一家工厂,现在他的事业有了大的发展,所以"工厂"已经扩展到10多家。
20. C 此处指你不会相信这个品牌是由一个42岁的人用少量的投资开创的。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
【文章大意】本文为一篇夹叙夹议文。作者曾对坐轮椅的残疾人倍感同情,而当自己因为意外晕厥也坐上轮椅时,才感觉到坐轮椅的人和正常人一样,同样应受到他人的尊重。
1. B 【解析】从第一段中的"But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair,I only saw a disability,not a person." 可以看出不论作者什么时候看到有人坐在轮椅上,作者看到的只是残疾,而不是一个完整的 人。说明作者曾经对坐在轮椅上的人有偏见。look down upon意为"看不起"。
2. C 【解析】从第二段中的"...I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction!Feeling the colour burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it."可以看出作者当时的心态。当作 者第一次面对轮椅时,立刻拒绝使用。
3. D【解析】从最后一段看出作者悟出的道理:一个人不应该做他不愿意别人对他做的事情。从"...I was once just like them.I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated."可知。
4. B【解析】从作者一开始看不起残疾人到自己成为残疾人,亲身感受到残疾人的窘迫,可以看出人们不应 该看不起残疾人。尤其是从最后一句"I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled."可得知,有些双腿健全的人,实际上在人格上是残疾的。因此,要平等对待残疾人。
K真题
1. D【解析】考查虚拟语气。根据"I was wearing a seatbelt""If I hadn’t been wearing one"可判断出, 此处是对与过去事实相反的情况的虚拟,从句用了过去完成时,主句应用"would have done"结构。
2. C 【解析】考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是Many young people,关系代词whom指代先行词,
在定语从句中作介词of的宾语。句意:很多年轻人都前往偏远地区追求它们的梦想,其中大部分人都
受过良好教育。
3. C 【解析】结合语境应用现在分词作伴随状语,非谓语动作与谓语动作几乎同时发生,且people与非谓 语动词是主动关系。
4. D 【解析】句意:自己创业可能是取得经济独立的一种方法,但另一方面它也有可能使你背上债务。on the
other hand"另一方面",与前半部分相对应。in other words"换句话说"; all in all"总之";as a result" 结果"。

Education of children in Finland begins with preschool at age 6. Although the most of Finns complete their education by age 25, education is viewed as a lifelong process in any job. People are generally much more educated in any trade or professional jobs than they are in other countries. They do an excellent job in having the highest workforce readiness of any nation.
Being a teacher in Finland, as in most industrialized countries, is the most highly respected occupation. Medical doctors come second. The education system is set up such that they earn people’s respect every day by the way they are centrally managed in the country to the highest standard in the world and by the level of authority that is given to the teachers. Keeping both teacher competence(能力) and school quality the best is a national goal in Finland.
All parents understand that education is very important for their children and would never second-guess a teacher’s decision in Finland. If the child did something bad in school, you can bet that both the teacher and the parent would be in total agreement for the punishment. Therefore it rarely happens, because parents and teachers are always in agreement, and the teachers have a very good relationship with the students.
In Finland the children are not graded before the fifth grade. The teachers decide how they are progressing. They are later tested, but their grades are not told the parents or the child during the following few years of education. This approach appears to build high confidence and self-esteem. The kids have a high graduation rate, scholastically achieving more. So parents have no worries about how well the children will be taken care of by the teachers.
Finland has a national education policy and a national testing. The teachers make all decisions about how their class will be run, how the education tools will be presented and what books are to be read. There are many things one can learn from Finland’s educational system where the fun and importance of learning is emphasized rather than grades and marks.
1.Compared with people in other countries, Finns________.
A.study at school for a longer time
B.receive more education in their life
C.are always ready to do more work
D.keep healthier and live a longer time
2.The teachers in Finland are highly respected probably because________.
A.education is valued in the country
B.they can make a large amount of money
C.they have the right to do anything they like
D.people in Finland are usually friendly to others
3.The teachers in Finland would like to pay more attention to________.
A.making the parents satisfied with their work
B.grading the students at the end of the term
C.building the students’ confidence
D.having all kinds of examinations
4.What would be the best title for this passage?
A.The Teachers and the Parents in Finland
B.The Importance of Finland’s Teachers
C.A National Education Goal in Finland
D.The Educational System of Finland

Dear Mr. Green,
I’m very exciting to learn that we will start a magazine together. That sounds great and I definitely agree you on that.
Some of the columns that you mention in the letter are really my cup of tea. "Cultural Express" give us a better understanding of the world. Since people from different part of the world have different values, it’s necessary to learn from each another. Apart from that, "Blurt Out" is pretty good for Chinese students to learn English idioms and improving oral English. "Entertainment" is also cool! The popular singers, actors or celebrities are so attractively that you absolutely can’t miss this part. Teenagers are to fond of popular things, too.
Well, I can’t list more. I really can’t wait to read this magazine.
Yours,
Li Ming

一、动词不定式概述
1.动词不定式是由"to+动词原形"构成(有时可以省略to)。动词不定式的否定形式是"not+动词不定式"
(not不与助动词连用)。
2.动词不定式在句子中不能充当谓语,没有人称和数的变化。
3.动词不定式具有名词、形容词和副词等的功能,可在句中作多种句子成分。
4.动词不定式具有动词的特点,可以有自己的宾语和状语,组成动词不定式短语。
二、动词不定式的句法功能
1.动词不定式作主语。
(1)可以直接作主语。
?To see is to believe.眼见为实。
(2)用it作形式主语,真正的主语即不定式放在后面。
?It’s wrong to make fun of others.取笑别人是错误的。
2.动词不定式作宾语。

manage, promise, pretend, plan, intend, refuse, wish等。
?He pretended to be reading.他假装正在读书。
?I’ve decided to go abroad now.现在我已决定出国。
(2)动词不定式作动词know, tell, show, understand, explain, teach, learn, advise, discuss等词的宾语时,前面常
带whether或疑问词。即:whether/疑问词(how, when, where, what, who等)+to do。
?We don’t know whether to accept the invitation.我们并不知道是否接受邀请。
?He showed us how to do the work.他教我们怎样做这项工作。
(3)在"find/feel/think+it+adj./n.+to do sth."句型中,it是形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式。
?The man downstairs found it difficult to get to sleep.楼下的人发觉很难入睡。
(4)forget, remember, stop, go on等之后接动词-ing形式和不定式意义差别较大。
stop to do sth.停止一件事去做另一件事

remember doing sth.记得做过某事
forget to do sth.忘记去做某事forget doing sth.忘记已做了某事

(5)作独立成分,修饰全句。
?To tell you the truth, I have got no money with me.说实话,我没有钱。
5.动词不定式作定语。

定式后面须有相应的介词。
?The Browns have a comfortable house to live in.布朗一家人有幢很舒适的房子住。
(2)当作定语的不定式所修饰的名词或代词是不定式动作的承受者时,不定式既可用主动语态,也可用被动
语态,但其含义有所不同。试比较:
?Have you anything to send?你有什么东西要寄吗?
(不定式to send的动作执行者是"你")
(3)用不定式作定语的几种情况:

Dear Li Jia,
I’m more than happy to hear from you and now I’d like to share my suggestions on how to spend the winter holiday.
First, being a student, you should put your study in the first place. Consequently, it’s a good idea to spend much time going over or even learning some new lessons by yourself. What’s more, not only can you take exercise as usual but also take an active part in some social activities.
It, I think, will be of great use to your physical and mental health and help you learn more about society. Also, if possible, traveling with your family is one of the best ways to spend a holiday, which can relax your body as well as broaden your views. Of course, you can have many other choices according to your own personal conditions.
Hope you will have a meaningful holiday.
Yours,
Li Hua

While beach vacations may be a great way to take your mind off work, lakes surrounded by mountains make for an even grander experience. If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus(高加索).
Lake Sevan
Lake Sevan is situated in the central part of Armenia, in the Gegharkunik province. It is the largest lake in Armenia, located 6,200ft above sea level.

It is commonly believed that all over the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.
Always boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和……相符) the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".
Surprisingly, the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.
George Carl, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.
But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys’ learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes," James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means," the study reported.
5.The writer argues that a single-sex school would __________.
A. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
B. help boys to be more competitive in schools
C. force boys to be their emotions to be "real men"
D. naturally strengthen boys’ traditional image of a man
6.Traditionally, in a mixed school boys __________.
A. behave more responsibly B. perform relatively better
C. grow up more healthily D. receive a better education
7.In Abigail James’ opinion, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______.
A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
B. boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted
C. teaching can be adjusted to suiting the characteristics of boys
D. teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit
8.The underlined word "acute" in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______ .

"BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.
We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: "Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.
All the lights were off except father’s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. "Am I wrong" I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love—it’s second to none.

Scientists are debating how to limit their newly-discovered power to change genetic structure. Scientists already modify the genes of farm animals and agricultural plants to make them more productive or stronger. But now they can also change genes in wild animals and plants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example, it may be possible for scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus. They might also be able to permanently remove species of plants and animals that are destructive to other species.
In a report published last week, the U. S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAS) said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But it warned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants and animals are released into the wild.
Sixteen biologists, ethicists(伦理学家) and policymakers are on an NAS committee that is examining the issue. They say that there is value to the new technology. But, they say, there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms (生物体) from the laboratory into nature.
Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases. But scientists say we must understand the possible scientific, ethical, legal and social results of such action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread through reproduction(繁殖).
Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues to reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kept within a country’s borders. Scientists are wondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are not yet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genes could harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet.
12.What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have?
A. Changing the Zika virus permanently.
B. Removing the destructive species for ever.
C. Having changed genes in their next generations.
D. Making all the species more productive and stronger.
13.As for genetically changed wild animals and plants ,what are scientists worried about?
A. They may become weaker or die out.
B. They may be more productive.
C. They may cause damage to their living habitat.
D. Their genes may spread to later generations.
14.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Scientists are not sure what exact results gene modification leads to.
B. Scientists won’t modify any genes before they make the final decision.
C. Gene modification has benefited some farm animals and agricultural plants.
D. Scientists have not applied gene modification to wild animals and plants in case of possible danger.
15.What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Stop research on gene control
B. How to change genetic structure
C. Power and danger of gene control
D. Advantages of gene control in wild animals and plants

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before. But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.
16 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes. For anything you’re about to send,ask yourself, "Would I say this to the person’s face?" If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 17
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 18 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
19 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 20 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended. It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
A. It’s natural that there’re some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.
C. Everyone was new to the network once.
D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

In many movies and books set in the future, robots can fly spaceships, work as maids or butlers, and even act as police officers.
The "K5" robots are part of a trial program to 1 a machine’s ability to perform the duties of a safety officer. The robots are 2 with HD security cameras, alarms, etc. In addition, they have an artificial intelligence system that will 3 a human security guard if they notice anything unusual.
The robots’ 4 can also analyze faces and read license plates(号码牌). The robots can check whether a plate 5 belongs to a stolen vehicle. Plus the robots’ on-board cameras are able to 6 good-quality videos in low-light conditions.
The K5 is able to 7 through its environment by using GPS as well as an internal navigation system. Each time the K5 is brought to a 8 place, a human uses a wireless controller to 9 the robot around the area. This helps the K5 "learn" about its 10 .
"You give it a base map and then it starts 11 from that," says Stacy Stephens, the co-founder of Knightscope.
Unlike humans, the K5 security guards don’t need 12 — they can work almost 24 hours a day. The robots run on rechargeable batteries, and a single 13 lasts 24 hours.

Though the K5 may look friendly and does not carry any weapons, it’s not 17 to be messed with. An ear-piercing alarm will sound 18 the K5 is trapped for more than a few minutes.
The robots are designed to do the kind of work a human security guard would 19 do, but they also take on the repetitive(重复乏味的) and sometimes 20 guard work, Stephens explains.

China has the world’s largest elderly population with 159 million people over 60, accounting for 12 percent of its total population.

5. Among his most famous works of science fiction, one for which he won an award was the Foundation
trilogy(1951-1953), three novels about the death and rebirth of a great empire in a galaxy of the future.
在他那些极负盛名的科幻小说中,有一部获奖作品叫做《基地》三部曲(1951~1953),有三个小故事,讲
的是未来银河系中一个伟大帝国的灭亡与复兴。
主句的主语是代词one,谓语是was, the Foundation trilogy(1951-1953)是表语。for which引导的定语从句修饰one。three novels about the death and rebirth of a great empire in a galaxy of the future是the Foundation trilogy(1951-1953)的同位语。代词one在句中起替代作用。如:
?A bridge made of stone lasts longer than one made of wood.
用石头建的桥比用木头建的桥持续的时间要长。
【易混辨析】
it, one, that, those
it
通常用来指代上文提到过的那个事物,表示特指概念,即指代同一物
one
表示泛指概念,替代可数名词的单数形式。其复数形式ones也表示泛指概念,用来替代可数名词的复数形式。the one(s)也是替代可数名词,但表示特指概念
that
既可以用来指代可数名词单数,又可以用来指代不可数名词,表示特指概念,相当于"the+名词"结构
those
替代上文提到的人或物中特指的那些,替代可数名词复数

②(真题改编·浙江)Half of ________ surveyed in 16 countries say they go first to their closest friend to share

【答案】①that 句意:这所小学校的教育质量要好于一些大学校。句中代词代指不可数名词the quality of
education,故用代词that。
②those 本题考查代词的用法。句意:在那些16个国家的被调查者中有一半说他们首先要去找他

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Claude Sammut, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of New South Wales in Australia, said it would soon be possible for robots to defeat the stars of the future.
For many years, Mr Sammut has been a member of a project called RoboCup, where robots have been programmed to learn how to play football and compete against others in a football match.
As he explains, the robots are having difficulty in learning how to control the ball and move the ball on their own, but he is still full of confidence that one day in the future they will show the same skills as Wayne Rooney, who is one of the best football players in the world.
Mr Sammut also said,"In 1968, John McCarthy and Donald Michie made a bet with David Levy, who was then the chess champion in Scotland, that within 10 years a computer program would be able to beat him. It took a little bit longer than 10 years (nearly 30 years) but eventually such programs came into being."
"In the same spirit of a grand challenge, RoboCup aims to develop a team of robots that can defeat the world soccer champion team by the year 2050. To achieve this, or come even closer to the ambition, the robots will have to be able to sense and act in completely unstructured environments. This will require major advances in perception(感知), decision making, learning, and cooperative behaviors. Considering robots are integrated hardware and software systems, great advances will also be needed in sensors (传感器) , energy storage, and materials."
1.The RoboCup is aimed to develop robots that know how to ________.
A.play computer football games
B.play football and win in real matches
C.understand the rules of the football game
D.improve the skills of real football players
2.What kind of difficulties are the robots facing in playing football?
A.They can’t run as fast as real people.
B.They can’t recognize their partners accurately.
C.They can’t control the ball well by themselves.
D.They can’t pass the ball to their partners.
3.The idea of designing a computer program that could defeat a chess champion came forth ________.
A.in 1968 B.in 1978
C.in the 1990s D.30 years ago
4.What’s the best title for this passage?
A.Scientists’ Wisdom in Designing Robot Football Players
B.Robot Football Players to Beat the World’s Best Team by 2050
C.Robot Football Players’ Bright Future
D.Mr Sammut—the Father of Robot Football Players

英语中动词有两种语态:主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者,被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。汉语中常用"被""给""由""受"等词来表示被动,而英语中由"助动词be+及物动词的过去分词"构成。
Ⅰ.各种时态的被动结构
一般现在时、一般过去时、现在进行时、过去进行时、现在完成时和过去完成时的被动结构是考查重点。被动语态的时态、人称和数的变化主要体现在be的变化上,其变化形式与系动词be的完全一样。以do为例:
一般时态
进行时态
完成时态
现在
am/is/are done
am/is/are being done
has/have been done
过去
was/were done
was/were being done
had been done
将来
shall /will be done
无
shall/will have been done
过去将来
should/would be done
无
should/would have been done
?Everyone’s pay will be increased next year by 5%.明年每人的工资将增加五个百分点。
?It was the first time that I had been criticized in public.那是我第一次在公众场合挨批。
Ⅱ.主动语态表被动意义
1.有些动词如read, write, clean, wash, iron, burn, draw, cook, keep, cut, open, blow, peel, sell, act等用作不及物动词且表示主语的某种属性时,常和副词well, easily, smoothly等连用,且通常用主动结构表示被动含义。这些动词的主语一般是表物的词,且这些物往往具有某种内在的特点,这些句子的时态多用一般现在时或一般将来时。如:
?This pen writes smoothly.这笔写起来很流畅。
?The cloth washes well.这种布料耐洗。
2.动词need, require, want, be worth后加v.-ing的主动结构表被动意义。
?My watch can’t work; it needs repairing.
我的手表不能用了,需要修了。
?This film is really worth seeing. 这部电影的确值得看。
Ⅲ.不用于被动语态的情形
不及物动词(短语)如appear, happen, remain, take place, come about, break out, come true等没有被动语态。
?A fire broke out during the night.夜间发生了火灾。
Ⅳ.动词不定式的被动形式和用法
当不定式的逻辑主语是这个不定式所表示的动作的承受者时,不定式一般要用被动形式。不定式的被动式可分为一般时和完成时。
一般时:to be done表示动词不定式的动作发生在谓语动词之后或同时发生。
完成时:to have been done表示不定式的动作发生在谓语动词之前。
?He didn’t expect the book to be received so well.他没想到这本书会受到如此热烈的欢迎。
Ⅴ.不定式的主动形式表被动意义
1.动词不定式放于名词或代词之后作定语,不定式和名词之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系,同时又和句中另一名词或代词构成逻辑上的主谓关系时,不定式的主动形式表示被动含义。
?Would you bring me a bench to sit on?
你给我拿个凳子来坐好吗?
2.在"主语+be+形容词+不定式"句型中,形容词后跟不定式作状语,而句子的主语又是动词不定式的逻辑宾语时,常用不定式的主动形式表达被动含义。这样的形容词很多,常用的有:amusing, cheap, comfortable, dangerous, difficult, easy, fit, hard, important, impossible, interesting, nice, pleasant, funny, heavy, light等。
?That question is difficult to answer.那个问题不容易回答。
3.在too...to...结构中,不定式前面可加逻辑主语,所以应用主动形式表示被动意义。
?This book is too expensive(for me)to buy.这本书太贵,我买不起。
4.在there be...句型中,当动词不定式修饰名词作定语时,不定式用主动形式作定语重点在人,用被动形式作定语重点在物。比较:
There is a lot of work to do.(用to do可看成是for us to do)
There is a lot of work to be done.(用to be done"谁"做工作不明确)
5.be to blame常用主动表示被动。
?Who is to blame for starting the fire?谁应为放火受责备?
1.(2014·北京)There are still many problems________ before we are ready for a long stay on the Moon.
A.solving B.solved
C.being solved D.to be solved
2.(2013·四川)The airport ________ next year will help promote tourism in this area.
A.being completed B.to be completed
C.completed D.having been completed
K真题
1.D【解析】句意:在我们准备长时间待在月球上之前仍旧有很多问题需要解决。分析句子 结构可知,空处 在句中作定语。又根据语境可知此处表示没有发生的事,应用不定式形式,同时solve和 problems之间 为动宾关系,因此用不定式的被动式,故选D项。
2.B【解析】句意:明年将竣工的机场将会帮助推动该地区旅游业的发展。空处表示将要发 生的动作,且它与所修饰的名词the airport之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用不定式的被动式作定语。选 B。

Here are the 2016 Nobel Prize winners for achievements in Peace, Economics, Chemistry and Literature.
The Nobel Peace Prize
The Nobel Peace Prize 2016 was awarded to Juan Manuel Santos for his resolute(坚决的) efforts to bring the country’s more than 50-year-long civil war to an end, a war that has cost the lives of at least 220, 000 Colombians and forced close to six million people to move away from the area where they live. The award should also be seen as a tribute(致敬) to the Colombian people who, despite great hardships and abuse, have not given up hope of a just peace.
The Nobel Prize in Economics
Oliver Hart, 68, a British economist teaching at Harvard, and Bengt Holmstrom, 67, a Finnish economist teaching at MIT, were announced as the winners Monday by the Royal Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2016 was awarded jointly to Jean-Pierre Sauvage University of Strasbourg, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart Northwestern University and Bernard L. Feringa University of Groningen, the Netherlands for the design of molecular machines, which are the world’s smallest machines.

I was in my first year of college, making friends and enjoying life, but then my whole world turned upside down. I had a heart attack. It felt like someone was stabbing (刺) me in the chest with a knife over and over again.
After three months of rest I went back to college, but then things took a turn for the worse. I was staying at my Nana’s house and woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain in my chest. I knew I was having a heart attack again.
I couldn’t even shout for help. Luckily my grandpa was going to the toilet and heard me falling out of bed. If it wasn’t for him, I probably wouldn’t be here.
The two holes in my heart were causing the problems and I needed an operation immediately to repair them. Unfortunately, the surgery didn’t go well and they only managed to repair one of the holes.
When I woke up from the operation, I had a really dry mouth and couldn’t wait to have something to eat and drink. The biggest shock of all came when I was told that I needed a heart transplant and was put on the register. The doctors were stunned at how quickly heart failure came on – it usually takes years, but it took my heart less than six months to get to that stage. My whole world came crashing down, but I stayed strong. It was a choice between crying every day and getting on with my life.
As time went on, life became even harder. I hated feeling weak all the time and needing help with everything. It got to the point where I thought I would never get a new heart. I was diagnosed with depression.
Even though I thought that Christmas 2008 would be my last, I really enjoyed it and even had a good New Year. Everyone was crying for me when the clock struck midnight and they told me to keep fighting.
A week later, I got a call from the doctors saying they’d found a suitable donor (捐赠人). My wish came true and thankfully the operation went well. I spent four hours in surgery where they took out my old heart and put a new one in. When I woke up I burst out crying. I had a second chance at life.
4. What happened when the author was having his second heart attack?
A. He felt less pain than he had during the previous one.
B. He realized what it was and shouted for help in time.
C. He narrowly escaped death thanks to his grandfather.
D. He decided to have an operation to repair the two holes in his heart.
5. When the author learned that he needed a heart transplant, he ______.
A. couldn’t help crying every day
B. chose to continue to fight for his life
C. felt so depressed that he tried to kill himself
D. was so anxious that his heart failure developed very quickly
6. At the beginning of 2009, the author ______.
A. was convinced that the past Christmas had been his last
B. felt blessed and grateful for his second chance at life
C. received a heart transplant but the operation didn’t go well
D. felt hopeless all the time and was diagnosed with depression
7. Which one would be the best title for the text?
A. Choices matter B. Rebuilding my world
C. Waiting for a new heart D. The most special Christmas
C
Hello. It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello — it is noticing another’s worth. How might the world change — how might we change — if we mastered this word? To find it out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.
It can improve productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.
Environments influence friendliness. And researchers say pleasant environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying to work downtown.
It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure,? relieve stress and improve happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect on the recipient? (接受者). So maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello to each other. After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of wellbeing.
8. What can be inferred in Paragraph 1?
A. Adults are not willing to say hello.
B. The first word we learn as babies is hello.
C. Saying hello is resistance to another’s worth.
D. The writer wasted a month saying hello to every person.
9. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that________.
A. teachers and students got friendlier so that the students became more active and scored higher
B. the exchange of greeting resulted in the increasing number of school students
C. students can get higher scores in tests because they greet their teachers every day
D. in private schools, there is more class participation and better grades
10. According to the passage, smiling can have the following effects on health except________.
A. lowering blood pressure B. improving intelligence
C. increasing pleasure D. reducing pressure
11. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To tell us saying hello can improve productivity.
B. To tell us saying hello is a form of universal health insurance.
C. To prove that environments influence friendliness.
D. To advise us to say hello more often.
D
When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer’s claims, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain?satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the "higher up" his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.
Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, "The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo does not work". The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer's rights.
12. When a consumer finds that his or her purchase has a fault?in it, the first thing he or she should do is to _________.
A. threaten to take the matter to court
B. write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase
C. show some written proof of the purchase to the store
D. complain personally to the manager
13. How can a consumer make his or her complaint more effective, according to the passage?
A. Threaten to take the seller to court.
B. Make polite and general statements about the problem.
C. Avoid having direct contact with the store manager.
D. Explain exactly what is wrong with the item.
14. According to the passage, which of the following is suggested as the last alternative that consumers may turn to?
A. Complain to the manufacturer.
B. Write a complaint letter to the manager.
C. Turn to the Consumers’ Rights Protection Organization for help.
D. Complain to the store manager in person.
15. The phrase "live up to" in this context means __________.
A. realize the purpose of B. fulfill the demands of

Good study habits are what separate the good students from the average. It’s natural to not want to study, especially when there are video games to play, friends to chat with and TiVo to watch. 16 Besides, developing your concentration has its own reward in that it helps make you a calmer, smarter person for life. Read on to learn how.

If you find the right place and keep coming back to it, you will condition your brain to focus when the time comes to read the books. Find a place where you can spread out your materials. Any location you pick should be well lighted and quiet.
Minimize distractions, including cell phones, email and social networking sites.
Noise is okay if you need the sound of music or television in the background. 18 If you are distracted by shiny objects, keep your head down so you see only the page in front of you.
Use active reading techniques to keep your brain from wandering off.
Reading is as effective as the information you remember, so challenge yourself by asking questions as you go. Try looking away from the page and summarizing out loud what you just read. 19
Mix it up.
20 It’s natural to want variety so that you stay interested in what you are trying to learn. If you find a particular subject boring, sandwich it between two subjects you enjoy.
A. Pick a spot to study.
B. Choose a time to study.
C. If you need total silence, invest in earplugs.
D. After a good study session, you will enjoy all those activities even more.
E. Make notes on what you don’t understand and follow up with the instructor.
F. Let your treat be a chat with friends, a healthy snack, or even a night on the town.
G. Study one subject for an hour, take a break, and then continue with another subject.

Dear Sam,
How are you getting along with your life recently? Today I’m writing to talk about my plan for college life in the near future.
College life is both a joy and a challenge to me. Therefore, adjusting myself quickly to the new circumstance is the first thing I will deal with. For example, I’ll try to get used to the college schedule as soon as possible and I’ll make some friends so that I can feel at ease in college.
Next, various abilities should be developed. Besides being independent in study and life, I will enter for meaningful activities to get more social practice and develop my strong points.
Can you give me some advice? As a sophomore, you must have a lot to tell me.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

本句中when引导定语从句,先行词为time;该定语从句中又包含as引导的定语从句和that引导的定语从句。此处 a time表示"一段时间",若引导词在从句中作状语,则应用关系副词when或"介词at/during+which"引导定语从句;若引导词在从句中作宾语,则一般用which或that引导定语从句。如:
?To begin/start with, the day was fine, but after a time it began to rain.
开始时,天气很好。但不久就开始下雨了。
?There was a time when(during which)we had no radios, no telephones and no TV sets.

【答案】
①when 句意:作为家里最小的孩子,Alex总是渴望他能够有独立的时间,这里使用定语从句,先行词是 the time,定语从句中缺少时间状语,用关系副词when。

20. On the afternoon I arrived at the station, as I was sorting out my accommodation, I heard a loud noise coming from the bay.
有天下午我来到捕鲸站,正在找住处的时候,听到从海湾那边传来一阵喧闹声。
本句为主从复合句,主句是I heard a loud noise coming from the bay; as在句中引导时间状语从句。句中现在分词短语coming from the bay作宾补。现在分词(短语)作宾补时一般表示主动及动作正在进行,且作宾补的现在分词(短语)常用在see, hear, find, notice, watch, feel, smell等感官动词和keep, have, get等使役动词后。如:
?I found him smoking in the room.我发现他在屋子里抽烟。
?I felt the plane shaking.我感到飞机在摇晃。

①Back from his two year medical service in Africa, Dr. Lee was very happy to see his mother ________(take)good care of at home.
②I looked up and noticed a snake ______(wind) its way up the tree to catch its breakfast.
【答案】
①taken 句意:在非洲医疗援助两年回来后,Dr.Lee很高兴看见妈妈被照顾得很好。his mother和take care of是被动关系,用过去分词做宾语补足语。
②winding 本题考查非谓语动词。notice后跟复合结构,宾语是a snake,宾补是wind的某种形式,表示当 时正在进行的动作,故用winding。句意:我抬起头来注意到一条蛇蜿蜒爬到树上去捕获它的早餐。
21. We ran down to the shore in time to see an enormous animal opposite us throwing itself out of the water and then crashing down again.
我们及时赶到岸边,看到对面有一个庞然大物猛力跃出水面,然后又坠落到水里。
不定式短语to see an enormous animal...作结果状语。opposite us 作后置定语修饰an enormous animal;现在分词短语throwing itself out of the water和crashing down again作宾语补足语。
【易混辨析】
现在分词/过去分词作状语
现在分词作状语与过去分词作状语的最主要区别在于两者与所修饰的主语的主动与被动关系的区别。
(1)现在分词作状语时,现在分词的动作就是句子主语的动作,它们之间的关系是主动关系。
?He went out shutting the door behind him.他出去后将门随手关上。
?Not knowing what to do, he went to his parents for help.由于不知如何办是好,他去找父母帮忙。
(2)过去分词作状语时,过去分词表示的动作是句子主语承受的动作,它们之间的关系是被动关系。
?Give more attention, the trees could have grown better.如果对这些树多关心一些,它们本来会长得更好。
?Faced with difficulties, we must try to overcome them.在遇到困难的时候,我们必须设法克服。

Clearly and thoughtfully ________ (write), the book inspires confidence in students who wish to seek their own answers.
【答案】written 考查非谓语动词。句意:因为清晰周到地被写出来,这本书鼓舞了想寻找自己答案的学生的自信心。the book与write之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词。

The sea has always interested man. From it we can get food, minerals, and treasure. For thousands of years,we could sail on it. But we could not go far beneath its surface. Man wants to explore deep into the sea. However, we are not fish. We must breathe air, so we can’t stay under the water’s surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems. A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above. He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea. His body is under great pressure. When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly,the gases in his blood form bubbles. The diver is then suffering from the bends. The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain. They can even kill him.

A. special mixtures of gases in deep sea
B. the problems man faces in deep-sea diving
C. air pressure under the surface of sea water
D. a kind of illness that man suffers in the sea

A. is under great pressure
B. is just like that of a fish
C. suffers from the bends
D. weighs very little
3. The passage does not say so, but it makes you think that ________.
A. deep divers should be in good health
B. divers explore the deep sea only for treasure
C. diving under the water too quickly causes a kind of illness
D. there is a special mixture of gases under the sea
4. Why does a diver get the bends?
A. He tries to do exercise under the water.
B. His diving suit weighs too much.
C. He comes to the surface too quickly.
D. The air in his blood is used up.
5. From the passage we can see that ________.
A. the sea began to interest man in the last few years
B. man is not at home deep in the sea
C. all divers will get the bends sooner or later
D. the air in the sea water will kill a diver if he is not careful
B
In October on the east coast of Australia migrating(迁徙)humpback whales(座头鲸)pass very close to the shore. With the help of Max Egan, we went to film them near Byron Bay. It was extremely exciting to spot the little puffs(水柱)of spray on the horizon. When migrating, the whales can be traveling at speeds of about 12km/h and can dive under anywhere between five and forty minutes. but with many years of experience Max usually guided our boat to exactly the right place to provide us with amazing sighting. As the whales break the surface like submarines(潜水艇), the water spills off their broad dark backs and huge tails. Then, with a powerful down stroke, they dive back into the depths of the sea, leaving just a smooth glassy patch of water or"footprint"on the surface to show where they had been.
One day we had traveled up and down the shore and far out to the sea in search of whales, but the horizon was deserted. There was no report of whales in the area so we decided to test out Max’s new, highly sensitive hydrophone(水中听音器)and the result was astonishing. As soon as the hydrophone was in the water, we found ourselves listening to the most beautiful voices. What may have seemed like a vast empty ocean was filled with the singing of whales.
It is the males which sing, as they migrate between feeding and breeding(养育)grounds. No one knows for sure what the purpose of these songs is, whether they are love songs to the females or warnings to other males to stay away.
It was thought that each population of humpbacks had its own song which remained regular but recent findings suggest that the whales appreciate a memorable tune(曲调)and quickly adopt any new songs they hear.
6. Which finding about whales is beyond the writer’s expectation?
A. The little puffs.
B. The songs of whales.
C. The traveling speed of whales.
D. The depth of the whale’s dive.
7. What do we know about Max?
A. He likes whales very much.
B. He is a brave scientist on whales.
C. He is an experienced man in finding whales.
D. He is an expert in making hydrophones.
8. The writer’s main purpose of looking for whales is______.
A. carrying out research on whales
B. studying the beautiful songs of whales
C. making films about whales
D. hunting whales for research
9. What’s the WRONG opinion about whales before according to the passage?
A. Each group of humpbacks had the song of their own.
B. Whales can’t sing to each other.
C. Whales aren’t easy to find.
D. Whales can’t dive in the sea as long as forty minutes.

2. C 由"weren’t very welcoming"以及"we should return where we came from"可知,邻居们对我们很不 友好,因此答案选C。

5. B 依据下文内容可知,Miss Bean对"我"很好,而其他大多数老师都不理会"我",故答案选B。其他 三个选项与take no notice of连用时,不符合语境。
6. D 联系上文可知,此处指Miss Bean对别人如此恶劣地对待"我"感到很生气,因此答案选D。
7. C 从下文"Instead of being unnoticed,I was given..."可推知,Miss Bean对"我"表示尊重,因此答案选C。
8. A 此处是指Miss Bean像教其他任何人一样教"我",所以答案选A。
9. B 从"to show that I was smart"可知此处应该是指老师给"我"一个机会,因此答案选B,而不是 question"问 题",test"测试",place"位置"。
10. D 由下句"She insisted on knowing what I thought about difficult questions."可推断,此处表示Miss Bean 让"我"独立思考,因此答案选D。下文中"thinking for yourself"也有暗示。

14. B 联系上下文内容可知,此处表示"独立思考是教育的关键",所以答案选B。
15. B 由下文"the eraser hit me right on the hand"可推知,这里表示Miss Bean把一个黑板擦朝"我"扔过 来,故答案为B。
16. A 表示某物处于某种状态,应用"send sth. doing",因此答案选A。考生易误选C,但make的主语通 常是人。

18. C 前后句存在因果关系,因此答案选C。
19. B 既然"This incident became famous"以及"it happened to me",所以学生开始认识"我",故答案选B。
20. A 依据上下文内容可知,此处是指"我"是如何成为学校里与以前不同的学生,因此答案选A,也与前 文"I was twelve years old"相照应。

他们或许有数千米长,且带有塑料球,以让它们漂浮在水面上;它们也带有很多重物,以让它们沉到海床上。
(1)该句是一个简单句。句中and连接的两个介语短语with plastic balls...和(with)weights...作状语,以说明主语的状况;不定式短语to keep...和to hold...作后置定语。
(2)句中使用了"keep+宾语+宾补"结构,keep意为"使……处于某种状态"。该结构的常见形式有:

【答案】spent
【解析】句意:上班族们坐在办工桌前太久,一般会受到健康问题的困扰。分析句子结构可知,分词的逻辑主语和后面主句的主语不一致,应用独立主格结构。分词主语和分词动作之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系,且动作已完成,故用过去分词。

Even days after I reported the event to the police, they failed to 4 (proper) solve this situation or even return my calls. Eventually, I decided 5 (contact)University Student Legal Services for help about this matter. The small damage may not seem worth all 6 trouble, but what if I had been seriously 7 (injure)? Will anyone see punishment for breaking traffic laws and damaging my property?
Unfortunately, my experience is common, and 8 (accident)between bikes and cars occur far too often. A comprehensive study 9 (report) that of the nearly 3,000 cyclist-motorist crashes that occurred between 2000 and 2010, about 20 percent were hit-and-runs.
Bicycles are held to the same standards as motor vehicles in most cases. 10 means that cyclists must obey all traffic rules,and also have the right to get damages in the accidents. I urge both cyclists and motorists to become familiar with their rights and duties when sharing the roads.

In the 19th century Americans from the eastern states moved out west to settle in the rich new land along the Pacific Coast.The most difficult part of their trip was crossing the "Great American Desert" in the western part of the United States.
The western desert can be very dangerous.There is little water and there are few trees.But the desert also has scenery of great beauty.Tall towers of red and yellow stones rise sharply from the flat,sandy valley floor.
At Lake Powell,the red stone arch (弓形) of Rainbow Bridge rises high above the blue lake.Many areas of Lake Powell’s shore can only be reached by boat or on foot.But hikers sometimes find very old native American pictures,painted on the rocks.
In Death Valley,California,the summer temperature rises to 130—165 degrees Fahrenheit.There is less than two inches of rain each year.In the 1800s,many travellers died when they tried to cross this waterless valley in the terrible heat.
Although the desert is dry and seems empty,there is plenty of life if you look closely.Small insects,snakes,and rats have learned to live underground and come out at night when it is cool.Plants like cacti (仙人掌) which need very little water live here.When it rains,such plants grow quickly,and flowers open in a single day.For a short time,the desert is covered with brilliant colours.
Modern visitors to the Great American Desert don’t have the same problems as early travellers had.They have air conditioning and can carry plenty of water in their cars.They enjoy the change from the crowded city.And there is nothing more beautiful than the colour of a desert sunset.
1. In the 19th century,when the Americans moved from the east to the west,they must go through ________.
A. the comfortable Pacific Coast
B. the attractive scenery
C. the suitable place

A. only those plants which need no water can live in the dry land
B. although the desert is very dry,there’re still some animals and plants in the desert
C. it rains once or twice each year averagely in the desert
D. travellers can often see that the desert is covered with brilliant colours
3. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A. There are many kinds of wildlife in Death Valley.
B. Travellers may possibly see some pictures at Lake Powell.
C. The temperature is always 130—165 degrees Fahrenheit in Death Valley.
D. Rats can live in the desert and come out even at hot nights.
4. Which of the following is NOT a feature of Death Valley?
A. Hot. B. Deadly. C. Waterless. D. Lifeless.

Spinning (动感单车) was created by world-class cyclist Jonathan Goldberg as a convenient and quick way to train for races.In 1989,he and John Baudhuin opened the first spinning centre in Santa Monica,California and then developed a programme to certify (授予合格证书) other spinning instructors.Curious to know about this spinning thing? The following information will help you decide if it’s for you.
Spinning is an aerobic (有氧的) exercise that takes place on a specially designed stationary (固定的) bicycle called a spinning bike.As you pedal,music plays and the instructor talks you through an imagination of an outdoor cycling workout:"You’re going up a long hill now..." During the class you vary your pace—sometimes pedaling as fast as you can,other times pedaling slowly from a standing position.
Spinning burns serious calories and makes your heart pump fast.It also strengthens your muscles.Although you follow the general instructions of the spinning teacher,you are in control when it comes to your pace.You can finish a spin class,regardless of your pace.You can finish a spin class,regardless of your fitness level simply by adjusting your pace.
Equipment needed:
Other than the bike,here’s what you need for a safe,comfortable ride:
A pair of comfortable shoes.
Two towels,one for wiping away sweat and one for covering the handlebars so your hands won’t slide out of position.
A full water bottle,because you’re going to sweat.Most spinning bikes are equipped with a water bottle cage so you can place your water within easy reach.
Hot Tip:Arrive five minutes early for your first class so your instructor can answer any questions and help you with bike adjustments.Make sure you let him/her know about any injuries that you have so he/she can help you change some of the moves.During class,be sure to let your instructor know if you are having trouble with the general technique. If the class is too hard,just pedal more slowly.
5. What was Goldberg’s original purpose in creating spinning?
A. To certify spinning instructors.
B. To prepare for sports events.
C. To strengthen muscles.
D. To improve fitness level.
6. Which of the following is NOT the necessity needed for spinning?
A. Towels. B. A water bottle. C. Comfortable shoes. D. Earphones.
7. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Spinning is as difficult as climbing a hill.
B. You decide for yourself the pace of pedaling.
C. Pedaling fast is likely to cause injuries.
D. Playing music will disturb you in spinning.
8. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Spinning your way to good health
B. World-class cyclist jonathan goldberg
C. A new form of aerobic exercise
D. Equipment needed for spinning

投诉信主要是针对未能解决的问题而提出,投诉需要收信者提供帮助,强调自己的"怨言"。投诉信的目的在于得到对方的帮助,所以在写作方式上它倾向于在客观说明的基础上运用请求性的文字,以期达到写投诉信的目的。
在表达自己的抱怨和不满情绪时要客观说明存在的问题并切中问题的要害,让对方认识到自己"怨之有理"而不是"无事生非"或"无理取闹"。在表达看法时要有礼有节,语气柔和。

To whom it may concern,I’m one of your customers. I ordered a set of Bookworm Series on your website two weeks ago,but I didn’t receive them until yesterday.

第一节
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
We commonly hear this statement that the difference between life and school is that, in school you are taught the lessons first and then the tests follow but in life the tests are given first and then the lessons follow. Depending on how well we do in life’s tests, we either experience joy or success or we learn a harsh lesson from it.
There is a similarity in our process of learning in both school and life. Just as in school we have to repeat the year if we haven’t studied well, in life too. We find our challenges that we haven’t quite mastered keep repeating themselves in different forms. So why do these situations reappear?
Ironically, this is the same reason why we fail at school. When we do not learn the lessons that are to be learnt from the past experiences and when we do not prepare well for future eventualities, then we find ourselves poorly equipped to face the situations that come to test us. This condition naturally increases the probability of our failure.
We may have managed to pass our exams and even earn a degree. However, if we know nothing about the subject, we will find it hard to pass the exam or get the degree. So the challenge of studying for an exam at university is just the same as the challenge at work when a similar case needs to be dealt with at work, but this time failure leads to embarrassment or even job losses. In life, we mature and become wiser, not for others, but for ourselves and our choices.
The introductory statement "in life the tests are given first and then the lessons follow" is not entirely true. It is just that the lessons are less obvious until the testing situations are faced. The lessons are very subtle(细微的) in life when they come. We need to be prepared to learn them.
1. Generally speaking, the tests in life .
A. come after we have learned from lessons
B. reach us before we get prepared for them
C. give us a sense of achieving our goals
D. make a great difference to our daily life
2. What does the underlined word "eventualities" probably mean in the passage?
A. Events. B. Efforts. C. Lessons. D. Careers.
3. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. school provides knowledge and life difficulties
B. the tests in life sometimes make us alert
C. school makes people easy but life pushes them
D. the tests in life offer no challenge to us
B
In southwestern France, a group of fish have learned how to kill birds. As the Tarn River winds through the city of Albi, it contains a small gravel island where pigeons gather to clean and bathe. And the European catfish(鲶鱼), 1 to 1.5 meters long and the largest freshwater fish on the continent, patrol(巡查) the island. These particular catfish have taken to jumping out of the water, grabbing a pigeon and then going back into the water to swallow their prey. In the process, they strand(使搁浅) themselves on land for a few seconds.
Other aquatic(水栖的) hunters strand themselves in a similar way, including bottle-nosed dolphins from South Carolina, which drive the small fish onto beaches, and Argentinian killer whales, which swim onto beaches to snag(抓住)the resting sea lions. The behavior of the Tarn catfish is so similar that Julien Cucherousset from Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse describes them as "freshwater killer whales".
Alerted to the catfish’s behavior by local fishermen, Cucherousset watched them from a bridge overlooking the island. Over the summer of 2011, he filmed 54 attacks, of which 28 percent were successful.
Catfish get their name for the long, sensitive whiskers on their upper jaws and the Tarn catfish will erect(竖立) theirs when they are hunting pigeons. This, combining with the fact that only moving pigeons are attacked, suggests that the catfish can sense the movement of birds that approach the water.
Cucherousset collected samples of the catfish as well as the three animals that they eat — pigeons, crayfish and smaller fish. The catfish and the three animals have different levels of carbon and nitrogen(氮)in their bodies and Cucherousset used these to show that individual catfish varies in whether they hunt pigeons and those that do so eat fewer fish.
4. According to Paragraph 1, the European catfish .
A. are no more than one meter long
B. are the smallest freshwater fish on the continent
C. kill and eat pigeons on land
D. usually stay in the water
5. Which of the following can NOT be described as "freshwater killer whales"?
A. Catfish. B. Sea lions.
C. Bottle-nosed dolphins. D. Argentinian killer whales.
6. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Pigeons are safer when they stay still.
B. Pigeons have the same level of carbon as crayfish.
C. Catfish attack pigeons to eat more fish.
D. Cucherousset likes collecting samples of the catfish.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Argentinian killer whales that attack the resting sea lions.
B. Bottle-nosed dolphins that drive the small fish onto beaches.
C. Pigeons that strand themselves on land.
D. Catfish that strand themselves to kill pigeons.

Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 8 The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses. 9 So they are called "disease of civilization". Many cancers and diseases of blood systems are examples of such diseases.
Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco,probably none. 10 However,a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.
Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products and they made very little use of grains. 11 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors (祖先).We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.
12 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way as our ancestors did,cutting the amount of fatty,salty and sweet food.
A. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.
B. People today probably do not want to live the way people thousands of years ago did.
C. Ancient people also lived in large groups.
D. But today,we eat a lot of these.
E. Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise.
F. In that case,they would live much healthier.
G. People today probably live the same life as people thousands of years ago did.

In American culture, you may find some very sensitive topics that require you to think again before you put them forward. They are as follows:
Age. It is a very sensitive 1 to many Americans. In their culture, the thought of growing older is a painful one and most of them, if 2 , would like to have nothing to do with it. So many Americans work hard to 3 a youthful appearance. The last thing they want to be asked is the unthinkable question: "How old are you exactly?" This question may result in a(n) 4 like: "How old do you think I am?" Anyhow, if you are 5 to know someone’s age, first you estimate (估计) their age by their 6 . Then you take ten years away from that estimation. With a big 7 , that person will probably say, "Thanks, but I am a few years older than that."
Weight. This is another sensitive subject. In America, it is 8 to be thin and it is a huge 9 to be overweight. In any American fashion magazine, you’ll notice most 10 are nothing more than skin and bones.
Income. You should never ever ask how much someone’s 11 is. However, it’s perfectly 12 to ask about their job title and what they do for a living. This information should give you some idea.
Matters of the heart. This is a tricky (难对付的) one. Some people cannot wait to 13 their hearts out to you. But there are those who make sure their 14 business stays behind closed doors. The general 15 is not to get too personal. You don’t want others to think that you are 16 their lives. 17 ,try not to ask too many questions until you have a(n) 18 with this person.
Anyhow, it’s difficult to always 19 an embarrassing conversation. So, be sensible, 20 your mouth and try not to open a can of worms(蠕虫).
1. A. solution B. subject C. access D. approach
2. A. not B. possible C. ever D. necessary
3. A. choose B. change C. decorate D. keep
4. A. reply B. consequence C. description D. explanation
5. A. likely B. eager C. afraid D. nervous
6. A. dress B. skin C. appearance D. accent
7. A. smile B. sense C. prize D. gift
8. A. easy B. terrible C. desirable D. absurd
9. A. accident B. event C. excitement D. embarrassment
10. A. singers B. editors C. writers D. models

阅读下列材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Friendship adds more 1 (please) to our life. Friends cheer us up 2 we feel upset and calm us down when we are 3 (anger). Friends give us a shoulder when we want to cry. Friends are just like sunshine 4 brightens our days. However, some people ignore the importance of 5 (make) good friends. As a result, they have no one to talk to when they get into trouble. They live a 6 (alone) life without friends around them.
As a famous saying goes, "A friend is a present you give 7 (you)." It means friends can make our life more enjoyable. I think 8 is important for us to learn to make friends when we move to a new place. Here are some tips for you:
First of all, we should be kind and helpful to the people around us, always offering a helping hand when it is necessary. Second, we’d better care about 9 others are feeling. If there is 10 (agree), it’s wise of us to talk it over instead of quarreling with others. In brief, making true friends can really enable us to improve ourselves.

Many years ago, while we were returning from visit my mother at the nursing home, our car died at the crossing of two very busy roads. Since neither my brother nor I was old enough drive our car, my father suggested that we got out and push while he drove. Our efforts were fruitlessly and the car sat in the crossing. Suddenly, from every directions, strangers seemed to appear. They came from the gas station of the corner, the sandwich shop in the other direction, and they pushed beside us, move the car out of the road. Twenty-five years later when I was driving and saw a mother and his children in the same trouble. I pulled over, walked to the car, helped move the car out of the road but waited until the tow truck arrived.

第二节
【语篇解读】本文讲述了朋友的重要性,并针对如何交朋友提出了两点建议。
1. pleasure考查名词。此处需用名词作宾语。pleasure"快乐,高兴"。
2. when考查状语从句。当我们感到难过的时候,朋友使我们振奋起来。根据语境可知,空处应填连词when,引 导时间状语从句。
3. angry考查词形转换。此处需用形容词作表语,angry"生气的,发怒的"。
4. that/which考查定语从句。根据语境并分析句子结构可知,此处应填关系词指代先行词sunshine,并在从句中作主语,因此填that/which。
5. making考查非谓语动词。介词of后需要跟动词-ing形式作宾语,因此填making。
6. lonely考查词形转换。这里修饰名词life,应用形容词lonely"孤独的"。alone也可作形容词,但不可用于 名词之前。
7. yourself考查代词。朋友是你送给你自己的礼物。由语境可知,此处应填反身代词yourself。
8. it考查形式主语。分析句子结构可知,本句是复合句,I think后为宾语从句。在宾语从句中,动词不定式作真正的主语,因此此处需用代词it作形式主语。
9. how考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知,该空引导宾语从句,从句中缺少状语,结合语境可知应填how。
10. disagreement考查词形转换。如果有了分歧,我们明智的做法是与别人详细聊一聊,而不是争吵。因此此处用disagreement。

第二节 书面表达
Dear Sir,
I am writing to you for the laptop of Lenovo Y430 TFI I bought on 20th Sept.2014 at Suning in Wuhan. Ten days after I bought it, it didn’t work well as expected. A loud noise appeared after it ran. Much worse, sometimes it shut off by itself. Then I took it to the seller, but was told that the model had been sold out and I had to wait at least three months for a new one. Later I went to a repairman. He said since it was the latest model in China, it was impossible to fix it without the right spare parts. I was so desperate on hearing that. How can I wait that long? Therefore, I require that you send me a new one of the same model within a month.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua

本句是一个复合句,wonder后跟的是how引导的宾语从句。most of whom引导的非限制性定语从句修饰students, most of whom是"名词/代词/数词+of+关系代词"结构,在语意上相当于most of them。如:
?Recently I bought an ancient Chinese vase, the price of which was very reasonable.
最近我买了一个古老的中国花瓶,它的价格很合理。

5. But last weekend another teacher, Jenny, and I did visit a village which is the home of one of the boys,

did在句中起强调作用,表示"的确;确实"。英语中,如果需要强调谓语,常用助动词do, does或did置于谓语动词之前,此时谓语动词要用原形。"do/does/did+动词原形"这种强调句中只有一般现在时和一般过去时,且只对肯定的谓语动词进行强调,没有否定式和疑问式。do在句中要重读。注意在祈使句中使用时,往往不表示命令,而表示强烈的请求,有时表达更加客气的语气。如:
?Do be careful!千万要小心!
?I do hope you have a merry Christmas!衷心祝福你圣诞快乐!
?He does speak English well.他英语说得确实很好。

A. do make B. don’t make C. making D. not making
②He (do,表示强调) come here yesterday.
③他的确很熟悉这个地方。
He the place well. (表示强调)
【答案】
①A【解析】句意:当我们的确犯错误时,我们必须尽快地、公开地并完全地改正它。在谓语动词前面加一个 助动词do,表示强调。
②did
③does know
6. When we arrived at the village, Tombe’s mother, Kiak, who had been pulling weeds in her garden, started
crying "ieee ieee".当我们到达村庄的时候,汤贝的母亲齐亚克本来在园子里拔草。看到我们就"嗳矣,
嗳矣"地叫了起来。
本句中when引导一个时间状语从句;who引导非限制性定语从句,该从句修饰Tombe’s mother, Kiak。had been pulling...是过去完成进行时,其构成是"had been+现在分词(doing)",表示在过去某时或者某个动作之前一直进行的动作,暗示该动作持续到过去某时或过去某个动作发生时,且还可能持续下去。句中常含有by引出的时间状语、before或when引导的从句(从句用一般过去时)、表示一段时间的状语(如for hours, all day)等。如:
?Before you came here, I had been painting the living room all day.
在你来这里之前,我一整天都在粉刷起居室。
?It had been raining for two days. The fields were all under water.雨一直下了两天,田地全被淹了。

7. When hot, he placed them in an empty oil drum with kau kau(sweet potato), corn and greens.待(石块)烧
热之后,他把它们连同考考(红薯)、玉米和青菜一起放进一个空的油桶中。
(1)When hot是承前省略,完整的句子应是:When the stones were hot...。
(2)状语从句的省略原则:
一般情况下,当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致或从句的主语是it,且有系动词be时,可以省略从句的主语和系动词be。
?When (she was) very young, she began to learn to play the piano.她很小的时候,就开始学习弹钢琴。
?If (it is) true, this will cause us a lot of trouble.如果是真的,这会给我们带来很多麻烦。
【巧学妙记】状语从句省略口诀
省略句,真容易,符合两条就可以;
从句谓语含有be,两句主语一样的;
从句若有it be,照样省去不迟疑;
选择-ed或-ing,主动被动变仔细。

participate in the conversation.他们家里人轻声细语地用自己的语言在交谈,我很喜欢听他们的谈话,尽
管我不能加入他们的谈话。
句中的even though引导一个让步状语从句。主句为前面的I loved listening to...,其中动名词短语listening to...作宾语,后面的现在分词短语talking to each other作宾语补足语。
【知识拓展】
even though/if引导的让步状语从句,其主从句谓语可以用陈述语气说明事实或
可能成为事实,也可以用虚拟语气说明与事实相反情况或不可能成为事实的情况。如:
?Even though Bruce gets accepted to Harvard, his family isn’t able to afford the
expensive tuition.
即使布鲁斯被哈佛大学录取,他家也付不起那昂贵的学费。

I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate "Yes". As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.
But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her way of trying to ease our pain.
Later in my life, when I was rest on bed during my pregnancy with twins, the women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughters and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughters!
Food is all about comfort. It not only feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.

Yi Jiefang’s world broke down when her only son, Yang Ruizhe, 22, died in a road accident in Japan in 2000. To work through her sorrow, she decided to devote her life to fulfilling her son’ s last wish-planting trees in the desert. Yi established the not-for-profit organization NPO ― Green life in 2003,which has planted more than 1. 1 million trees in deserts in northern China.
At the age of 65, Yi started a new project ― to plant 667 hectares of pine forest in Duolun County in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region. The county is where many of the sandstorms that affect Beijing, as it is only about 400 km from the capital.
Yi’ s early life was a long way from the desert. A Shanghai native, she had a stable job and a happy family. But the enterprising woman with big career ambitions moved to Japan by herself at age 38 to take a further course. Her husband and son joined her in the following years. The couple started a private Chinese medical clinic and the son, a diligent and excellent student, was admitted to the Chuo University in Tokyo.
Life was perfect, until the sudden death of her son. In the depths of her despair, Yi recalled that two weeks before his death, her son said he wanted to return to China to plant trees after graduating from university. "Ruizhe was concerned about the environment. He often rode his motorbike to the mountain and described to me what beautiful sceneries he had seen. His last words are deeply engraved (刻) in my mind. I sometimes even felt it might be God’ s will that I should go back to my country to plant trees ," she says.
Her son’ s wish gave Yi the strength to rebuild her life. After living in Japan for 18 years, Yi sold the clinic and returned to Shanghai with her husband. They devoted all their savings, Ruizhe’ s life insurance payout and donations from friends, to the NPO ― Green life project. After that, Yi chose the Tamin Chagan desert, in Inner Mongolia and started their planting project.

3. Just 20% more produce will mean the difference between sickness and health, between families going
hungry and families providing for themselves.
仅仅提高20%的产量,就意味着会让很多人远离疾病,拥有健康,让许多家庭不再忍受饥饿的折磨,能够自力更生。
(1)本句是一个简单句,现在分词短语going hungry和providing for themselves均作定语修饰其前的名词families。英语中现在分词和动名词都可以用作定语,但现在分词作定语时,是它所修饰的名词所发出的动作,和此名词之间在逻辑上是主谓关系,相当于一个定语从句;而动名词作定语时,是用来说明其所修饰的名词的功能、性质、作用等,相当于一个"for"短语。如:
a swimming fish=a fish which is swimming(现在分词) 一条游泳的鱼
→a swimming pool=a pool for swimming(动名词) 一个游泳池
a walking man=a man who is walking(现在分词) 一个正在行走的人
→a walking stick=a stick for walking(动名词)一根拐杖
【跟踪典例】
①The wild flowers looked like a soft orange blanket______(cover) the desert.
②The picture________(hang) on the wall is painted by my nephew.
【答案】
①covering【解析】现在分词短语covering the desert作后置定语,cover与soft orange blanket为逻辑上的主 谓关系,cover意为"遮盖"。
②hanging【解析】考查现在分词作定语。句意:墙上挂的那幅画是我侄子画的。hang在此是不及物动词, 此处强调"正挂在墙上"。
(2)go hungry"挨饿",go作为系动词,意为"变得,变为,变成尤指坏的方面"。如:
?The children went wild with excitement.孩子们欣喜若狂。
?In summer food goes bad easily.在夏天食物很容易变质。
?He is a person who goes angry easily.他是一个容易发怒的人。
【知识拓展】
go wrong出毛病;不顺利;走错路;误入歧途
go bad变质 go blind变瞎
go deaf变聋 go mad发疯
go bald变秃 go sour变酸
go grey日渐花白 go wild变狂野
【跟踪典例】

A. go ?? B. grow ????? C. feel D. stay

4. They are easy and fun for children to care for. 孩子们照看它们既轻松又有趣。
此句型属于"sb/sth+be+adj./n.(+for sb)+to do"结构,其中不定式与句子的主语之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,这时不定式要符合两个条件:(1)主动形式表示被动意义;(2)其中的动词须为及物动词,若为不及物动词,须加相应的介词。如:
?The book is difficult(for me) to understand.这本书(对我来说)很难懂。
?The car is very comfortable to ride in.这种车很好坐。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I forced my two-inch heels on one foot at a time, then fought with my skirt and struggled out the door.
That morning I had a meeting with a major client with whom I had been working in the last few years. I met with my clients only once or twice a week. The rest of the time I worked in my home office. When my children were very young I could help with their school and after-school events. But as they grew, I began to question why I was working for a company whose practices did not mesh with(符合) my own more environmentally friendly belief. With each chat I started to feel less comfortable. Not to mention the stockings and suits.
I entered the meeting room. Instead of the normal marketing team, there sat Bob. He explained that the company had just hired a manager and my services would no longer be required.
I gathered my work and made my way home. Immediately, I went for a walk in the nature preserve and farm. Step by step I struggled with the unfairness. How ungrateful. How unfair.
I passed through the woods to the farm and nature center where I volunteered weekly. It was getting close to Halloween and we were planning the big fall weekend. One day a woman I had never met approached me.
"Good morning, I’m the new executive," she said. "You must be Jeanne. I was told that I had to hire you." She explained she was new to the area and needed someone with marketing and communication skills.
I was hesitant to accept the position. I would be making much less money than I did. On the other hand, I could wear whatever I wanted, walk to work and on occasion play with the goats.
I volunteered through the end of the year and then became part of the staff. I began to photograph and write human interest articles for the paper. This gave me new confidence to write less clinical essays. I started writing children’s books and began my first novel.
I had found new confidence and joy in working in an environment I loved with people I adored.

3. Why did the woman come close to the writer?

B. To invite the writer to come for Halloween.
C. To expect the writer to be the farm manager.
D. To employ the writer to work on the farm.
4. What did the writer get from the new work?

5. From the passage we can infer on the farm the writer ________.
A. worked as a volunteer for a year
B. needn’t wear formal clothes to work
C. wrote her first novel about children
D. often went out to play with goats outside

Mariah Bailey would like to make a difference with her dad and his organization Sidewalk Angels Inc. Mariah’s dad would go out on the streets to help the homeless in the community, and sometimes Mariah would go out with him. "After being with him on so many occasions, I started to get to know the people that he helped," Mariah said. "I started to learn about who they were as people and started building a friendship with them."
While Mariah’s dad liked to do his good deeds, Mariah thought that she would like to start something similar that was better known to raise even more awareness. After years of making a difference, her organization, Trending Change, was officially launched in October 2013 through her dad’s organization.
How does a 12-year-old girl start her organization? Well, for Mariah, she gave up everything she would have received for Christmas and used the money to start Trending Change. Now Mariah has helped countless numbers of people feel loved and comforted through her organization.
Over the last year, Mariah has done a few campaigns, raising over $1,100. Her big goal for last December was to provide blessing bags for hundreds of homeless people in Myrtle Beach. Each blessing bag not only had daily necessities, but Mariah also added notes to each bag reminding each person that they were loved and she would be there for them until things got better.
"My goal is to let the homeless know that they have not been forgotten and that they are loved," Mariah said. For people who are homeless, there are a few outlets for them to find food and a shelter. However, no one at these homeless shelters is obligated(有义务的) to show compassion. "Sometimes people are starving for more than food. Sometimes they are starving for love."
6. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that Mariah _________.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted, " 3 !" and the entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 4 over how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness(尴尬)was over, I quickly 5 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect – perhaps 6 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow(光) which comes from a (n) 7 of achievements.
My students 8 diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 9 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. 10 her next lecture will be better." Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 11 subject. "Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework(哲学体系)of Western thought and laid the historical 12 for all the works we’ll study in class," I complained. "How 13 they say I didn’t teach them anything?"
It was a long term, and it 14 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as 15 of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise 16 questions and provide enough background so that students could 17 their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide 18 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!

Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 1 Trust is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore. 2 It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
? 3 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.
? 4 If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a "victim mentality". At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.
?You didn’t lose "everything". Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 5 Instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
A. Learn to really trust yourself.
B. It is putting confidence in someone.
C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E. They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.
F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.

Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger’s personality simply by looking at the person’s shoes.
"Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers," the authors wrote in the new study published in Journal of Research in Personality."Shoes serve a practical purpose and also serve as non-verbal cues with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear."
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone’s shoes. In the study, volunteers were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes and then filled out a personality questionnaire. 63 students from the University of Kansas compared the pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the participants with their questionnaires.
So, what do your shoes say about your personality? Some of the results were expected: people with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes and flash footwear was typically worn by extroverts(性格外向的人). However, some of the more specific results were intriguing. For example, "practical and functional" shoes were generally worn by more "agreeable" people, while ankle boots were more closely aligned with "aggressive" personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore "uncomfortable-looking" shoes tended to have "calm" personalities. And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from "attachment anxiety", spending an inordinate(过度的) amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.
The researchers noted that some people would choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep
insights into their personalities.
1. Which of the following aspects about shoes is NOT related to the owners’ personality?
A. The shoes’ style.
B. The place where the owner puts the shoes.
C. The shoes’ color.
D. The shoes’ condition.
2. According to the research, a tough female manager of a company is likely to fancy .
A. cheap second-hand shoes B. practical low-heeled shoes
C. fashionable ankle boots D. common-looking sneakers
3. People with "attachment anxiety" are those who .
A. always have new shoes to wear
B. don’t know how to take care of shoes
C. care too much about how they look to others
D. try to hide their actual personality features
4. What is the author’s attitude towards the new study?
A. Subjective. B. Optimistic.
C. Objective. D. Supportive.
5. The purpose of the passage is to .
A. give tips on how to judge a person’s personality
B. introduce the finding that shoes show the owners’ personality
C. teach people to hide their true personality with their shoes

之句式篇
In the high plains area is Lake Titicaca, the highest lake in the world, on which boats can travel.
在高原地区有的的喀喀湖,这是世界上海拔最高的湖,湖上可以行船。
in the high plains area is Lake Titicaca实际上是一个倒装句,主语是Lake Titicaca, in the high plains area作表语。the highest lake...是Lake Titicaca的同位语,on which引导一个非限制性定语从句。
【知识拓展】
完全倒装的常见用法小结:
(1)当表示地点的介词短语放句首,且谓语为be, lie, sit, stand, come, walk等不及物动词时,句子的主谓要完
全倒装。如:
?On her left stood her husband.她丈夫站在她的左边。
(2)地点副词(here, there),方位副词(out, in, up, down)及时间副词(now, then)等位于句首,且谓语动词为be, go,
come等不及物动词时,句子的主谓要完全倒装。如:
?Here is the book you want.你要的书在这儿。
?Down jumped the naughty boy.那个调皮的男孩跳了下来。
(3)一些表示祝愿的句子里主谓也要完全倒装。如:
?Long live the Communist Party of China!中国共产党万岁!
【跟踪典例】
Among the crises that face humans________(be) the lack of natural resources.
【答案】is 句意:自然资源的缺乏是人类面临的危机之一。考查倒装和主谓一致。根据介词短语不可以作主语的原则,可判断出这是一个倒装句,主语为the lack of natural resources,中心词为lack,所以用单数的is。这是典型的"主系表"倒装为"表系主",介词短语Among the crises that face humans作表语。

A home science experiment recently took the world by storm. Two teens from Toronto, in Canada, sent a Lego man rising above the Earth and captured their tiny astronaut’s trip on film.
Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, used a weather balloon to launch their plastic Lego model 16 miles above the Earth. This is inside a part of the Earth’s atmosphere.
The two teens were inspired by a similar project performed by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The MIT students had launched a weather balloon with a camera into near space and taken many unusual images of the Earth. Mathew and Asad then spent four months figuring out how to launch their own spacecraft into the space.
Traveling to space is expensive for NASA, but Mathew and Asad worked hard to keep their costs down. They
bought much of their equipment used and even sewed the Lego man’s parachute (降落伞)by hand. In total, the project cost only $400.
"We had a lot of anxiety on launch day because there were high winds when we were going up," Mathew told reporters. They had to pump extra helium into the balloon so that it would rise quickly and avoid being blown too far off course by the strong winds.
The toy astronaut’s journey lasted 97 minutes before the balloon broke and he fell back to the Earth. Mathew and Asad then spent two weekends looking for their spacecraft. It had landed 76 miles away from the launch site.
The student scientists are currently finishing up their final year of high school and applying to colleges. They are also looking into more do-it-yourself space projects.
"I guess the sky is not really the limit anymore," Mathew told reporters. "We never knew we’d get this far. It’s been a lesson for us that hard work pays off."
4. By saying "took the world by storm"in the first paragraph, the writer meant the experiment _______.
A. destroyed the world B. flooded the world
C. fascinated the world D. managed the world
5. How did Mathew and Asad keep their costs down?
A. By sewing the weather balloon themselves.
B. By borrowing spacecraft from the MIT students.
C. By making their spacecraft by hand.
D. By using second-hand equipment.
6. What problems did Mathew and Asad have on launch day?
A. They ran out of helium. B. The wind was too strong.
C. The balloon suddenly broke. D. Their spacecraft was blown away.

The Mississippi River
The Mississippi River is a great river whose relationship with men goes way back beyond its discovery in the 16th century. Indians used the river as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it its name—"misi" meaning "great" and "sipi" meaning "water". When the length of its branch, the Missouri, is added to it, the Mississippi River becomes greater. 1 From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta(三角洲), it is 2,480 miles long.
Great rivers are likely to suffer floods. In 1927 the Mississippi River flooded 27,000 square miles, sweeping away farms, towns, and everything in its path. In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions homeless. Today the river has largely been controlled. 2
The delta is a remote place, the homeland of a little colony of French Canadians that the British drove out of Nova Scotia in the 18th century. They still speak French, mixed with English, Indian, Spanish and Negro idioms. 3 They call themselves Cajuns, who have actually been leading fairly primitive lives and preserving their own traditions.
It is known that the "Great River" has also been a frontier(边远地区) river. 4 In 1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river, and named it after their king, Louis Ⅸ. This city, named St.Louis, became the starting place for the adventurous men and women who opened up the Great Plains, and the way to the Far West.
Some 40 years earlier, at the beginning of the 18th century, the French had founded another city just above the Mississippi Delta, New Orleans. 5 New Orleans is one of the greatest ports of the world, and one of the greatest ends for both sea and river traffic.
A. It was the Mississippi River that made the city what it is.
B. Levees, high banks built of earth, hold back the floodwaters.
C. Therefore, as we know, it’s the third longest river in the world.
D. Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it went, but what lay beyond.
E. However, they sailed along the Mississippi River in their boats to seek their fortune.
F. The "Great Water" always remains a threat, for the streets of the city are below the level of the river.
G. They keep to themselves, farming the rich soil of the delta.

It’s reported that many people died of traffic accidents each year. Road safety has aroused the widely attention of the public. Many rules have made to reduce the traffic crashes, especially for the ones involved in the pedestrians. In my opinion, we should make road safety seriously in our daily life.

as may be imagined这可以想象得出
as has been pointed out正如已经指出的那样
as often happens这种情况常常发生

K真题
1.C【解析】考查定语从句。定语从句的先行词是young people, most表示他们中的大多数,因此应该使用most of whom。因为先行词指人,不能选择of which。?
2.B【解析】考查定语从句。句意:科学家已经提出了许多关于人类为什么会流泪的理论,其中没有一个得到 了证明。该句中的先行词是many theories,关系词在定语从句中作of的宾语,应该用关系代词which, none of which共同构成从句的主语,故选B 项。
3.D【解析】考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处在此引导定语从句,先行词为next week, 且关系词在定 语从句中作时间状语,故用when。
4.D【解析】句意:这实在是一个招人喜欢的地方。它看起来一定和100年前一样,有着蜿蜒的街道和美丽的 农舍。先行词是place,非限制性定语从句缺主语,故选D。as引导非限制性定语从句时往往有"正如, 就 像"的意思。?
5.C【解析】考查定语从句。句意:桌上的书是给我们的奖品,这些书的封面是光亮的。定语从句的先行词为 books,它与定语从句的主语是所属关系,所以用关系代词whose引导定语从句。

Fidel Castro was born at his father’s farm on August 13, 1926. His father, Angel Castro, was a migrant to Cuba from Galicia, Northwest Spain. He had become financially successful by growing sugarcane at Las Manacas farm in Biran, Oriente Province.
Aged six, Castro was sent to live with his teacher in Santiago be Cuba, before being baptized(洗礼)into the Roman Catholic Church at the age of eight. Being baptized enabled Castro to attend the la Salle boarding school in Santiago, where he regularly misbehaved, so he was sent to the privately funded Dolores School in Santiago. In 1945 he transferred to a more famous school, De Belen in Havana. Although Castro took an interest in history, geography and debating at Belen, he did not excel academically, instead devoting much of his time to playing sport.
In 1945, Castro began studying law at the University of Havana, where he became involved in student activism, and the violent gangsterism culture within the university. Passionate about anti-imperialism and opposing U.S. interference in the Caribbean, he unsuccessfully campaigned for the presidency of the Federation of University Students on a platform of "honesty, decency and justice". Castro became critical of the corruption and violence of President Ramon Grau’s government, delivering a public speech on the subject in November 1946 that received coverage on the front page of several newspapers.
In 1947, Castro joined the Party of the Cuban People, founded by Eduardo Chibas. Chibas advocated social justice, honest government, and political freedom, while his party exposed corruption and demanded reform. Though Chibas lost the election, Castro remained devoted to working on his behalf. Social situation becoming worse, Castor soon received a death threat urging him to leave the university; refusing, he began carrying a gun and surrounding himself with armed friends.
5. From paragraph 2, we know that Fidel Castro _______.
A. had no interest in history
B. performed very well at school
C. spend much time playing sport
D. attended the La Salle boarding school before 8

This month, the singing competition, American Idol, will come to an end. For years, the popular show was a platform for rising artists. With a group of famous judges and a wide range of talents, it is clear that the competitive atmosphere of American Idol will remain unrivaled by any other show. After all, its success has been "unmatched in broadcasting history."
American Idol came from the British series Pop Idol. Through an application, contestants came into the competition and thereafter, were chosen to audition(试音)for the show. Each candidate would have to perform a piece to the judges, and participate in a strict selection process. Not only would contestants have to sing in groups, they were sometimes tasked to perform pieces without musical instruments. At the end of this stage, only 24 o 36 artists were chosen to enter the semi-final stage. Soon, the fate of the contestants would be decided by the public. During the candidate’s live performance, a free telephone number was displayed on the screen for viewers to dial, to cast their vote. At the end of the night, only 13 lucky singers would be left in the competition; by the finals, only 8 contestants would remain. Finally, a runner-up(亚军)and a winner were announced every season. Though only the winner would receive a million dollar reward and a significant record deal, other contestants would have had a chance to be known by the public. As the famous producer Simon Cowell once said, "The point of the show is not to be mean to loser, but to find a winner."
As the final season of the program begins, past winners will return to the stage to say goodbye and a new winner will be announced. With amazing performances and an excellent cast of singers, the show’s conclusion will leave audiences nostalgic(怀旧的), but more satisfied than ever.
9. Those who enter American Idol will _______.

C. The judges D. The record companies
11. The author thinks the conclusion of American Idol will _________.

A new study suggests that washing dishes by hand is healthier than using a dishwasher.
Nobody likes doing the dishes, but it turns out that doing this task might pay off in an unexpected way. According to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics, washing dishes by hand instead of using a dishwasher might prevent the development of allergies(过敏).
Researchers in Sweden surveyed the parents of 1,029 children aged 7 and 8. They discovered that children whose families hand-washed the dishes instead of using a machine were less likely to have allergies.
Earlier research has shown that dishes washed by machine are cleaner than those washed by hand. So why would kids who eat off of slightly dirtier plates be better off when it comes to preventing allergies? One explanation is based on a theory known as the "hygiene hypothesis," which says the reason kids develop allergies is that their surroundings are actually too clean. Your immune system keeps you healthy by fighting germs(细菌)like bacteria and viruses. But when you have allergies, it overreacts and tries to fight ordinary things like pollen(花粉)or certain foods.
Being exposed to germs, especially early in life is good training for the immune system, says the lead author of the study, Dr. Bill Hesselmar of Queen Silvia Hospital in Sweden. "You stimulate the immune system in various ways and it becomes tolerant."
This study shows that while using the dishwasher might be easier, the old-fashioned method of cleaning up could be better for your health.
13. What is the benefit of washing dishes by hand?
A. It can improve our immune system.
B. It is easier than washing by machine.
C. It costs less time than washing by machine.
D. It might reduce the chance of developing allergies.
14. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. Our health depends much on our immune system.
B. Children in clean environment must have allergies.
C. Our immune system can only fight bacteria and viruses.
D. Hand-washed dishes are as clean as those washed by machine.
15. What do we know about germs from the passage?
A. Without germs, people won’t get sick.
B. There are no germs in clean environment.
C. Exposure to germs can improve our immune system.
D. Germs like bacteria and viruses do harm to our health.

Dear Mike,
I’m glad to receive your letter, and thank you for your caring for the weather and my health. Now I’d like to tell you something about the haze.
Since the end of last year, the hazy weather has occurred a lot of times in my hometown, which has done great harm to our daily life. Many traffic accidents happened just because of the heavy smog. Besides, more and more citizens have to go to see the doctor due to the serious diseases caused by the haze. A great number of people have to stay at home for fear of the poisonous air.
As for me, I will go to school by bike or on foot, and I won’t throw the waste anywhere. In addition, I will tell the people I meet to protect the environment. Would you like to tell me some good ideas? I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
