I’m a student with different interests.I play football for Whitburn AFC at under 19 level,where I play as a right midfielder which I enjoy very much.I like talking with many different kinds of friends.The cinema is a place where I go as often as I can,as I am a huge movie lover.I like both action(动作片) and other kinds of films.
The thing I would say I do the most is listening to music.I like rock music.However,my CD collection includes a wide selection (精选物) of music.With my interest in music I go to see my favourite bands(乐队) when they come on tour.
The Internet and computers are something I usually do with when I’m free,but I would not say it’s my main interest in life.Traveling to many different countries is a great experience.I have been to Spain,Belgium,Holland,France and even England.I went to a little town in Spain last year just outside Barcelona.Anybody there hardly speaks English,however,I found that I can communicate(交流) with these people who speak a different language from me and I am still able to understand.Meeting people from abroad is very interesting.

Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends.They believe that their family members don’t know them as well as their friends do.In large families,it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends.Even when they are not with their friends,they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone.This communication(交流) is very important in children’s growing up,because friends can discuss(讨论) something.These things are difficult to tell their family members.
However,parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them.Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends.Have you ever thought of the following questions?

八、阅读理解
I was the youngest of the five boys and also had four sisters who had to pull together and take care of each other.Dad wasn’t around,so I never knew him well.He killed himself when I was three years old,leaving Mom with the job of raising and providing for nine kids.She was a very hard worker,and in order to make ends meet,she hardly ever rested.With my mom as my example,I learned that hard work is the best way to get what you want.
Even as a little boy,I knew I was going to be successful.Of course,I dreamed about what I wanted to be when I grew up.But regardless of what I chose,I wanted to make my brothers,sisters and mom proud of me—not only by being successful in what I chose to do,but also a person who could be looked up to for the right reasons.
By junior high,I started playing basketball on a team.I loved to compete.For me,it paid off.I just let my success in basketball take its course,but I always put the effort in,every day.
I am grateful for the life I’ve enjoyed as a basketball star.But when I see those shirts that say “Basketball is life,” I think “Yeah,right! It is not only life.It can be exciting.”But the important thing about basketball is that it gives me a way to do good things for others as I move through this journey called life.

The most frightening(令人害怕的) words in the English language are,“Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business.The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said,“I’m sorry,I can’t sell you a ticket.Our computer is down.”
“If your computer is down,just write me out a ticket.” “I can’t write you out a ticket.The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”
I looked down on the computer and every passenger(乘客) was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen.Then I asked her,“What do all you people do?”
“We give the computer the information(信息) about your trip,and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”
“So when it goes down,you go down with it.”
“That’s good,sir.”
“How long will the computer be down?”I wanted to know.
“I have no idea.Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes,sometimes for two hours.There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer,and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”
After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer,I said,“Let’s forget the computer.What about your planes?They’re still flying,aren’t they?”
“I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”
“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot(飞行员) if he’s flying to Washington,” I suggested.
“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to.Even if the pilot was going to Washington,he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”
“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”
“I wouldn’t know,”she said,pointing at the dark screen.“Only ‘it’ knows.‘It’ can’t tell me.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines.The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down.Some people went white,some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.

七、阅读理解
A
If you ask people to name one person who had the greatest effect on the English language,you will get answers like “Shakespeare” “Samuel Johnson” and “Webster”,but none of these men had any effect at all compared(与……比) to a man who didn’t even speak English—William the Conqueror.
Before 1066,in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups.In the west-central region lived the Welsh,who spoke a Celtic language,and in the north lived the Scots,whose language,though not the same as Welsh,was also Celtic.In the rest of the country lived the Saxons,actually a mixture of Anglos,Saxons,and other Germanic and Nordic peoples,who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English),a Germanic language.If this state of affairs had lasted,English today would be close to German.
But this state of affairs did not last.In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule(统治) over England.For about a century,French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants(农民).As a result,English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German.In some cases,modern English even shows a distinction(区别)between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words.We even have different words for some foods,meat in particular,depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked,which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing farming,while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.
When Americans visit Europe for the first time,they usually find Germany more “foreign” than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does.Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man’s ambition.
1.Which of the following groups of words are,by inference,rooted in French?
A.president,lawyer,beef
B.president,bread,water
C.beard,field,sheep
D.folk,field,cow
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。从第三段可知,当时在英国,凡是政治、法律和供Normans上层阶级吃的食物,其名称都来源于法语。
2.Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?
A.Most advertisements in France appear in English.
B.They know little of the history of the English language.
C.Many French words are similar to English ones.
D.They know French better than German.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。从第四段第一句话“When Americans visit Europe for the first time,they usually find Germany more ‘foreign’ than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does.”可知法语单词与英语单词比较相似。
3.What is the subject discussed in the text?
A.The history of Great Britain.
B.The similarity between English and French.
C.The rule of England by William the Conqueror.
D.The French influences on the English language.
答案:D
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,短文主要讨论了法语对英语的影响。
B
What is language for?Some people seem to think it’s for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists,the better.That’s wrong.Language is for the exchange(交流) of ideas and information.It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely.Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules,but they can’t speak correctly or fluently(流利地).They are afraid of making mistakes.One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language.Native speakers make mistakes and break rules,too.Bernard Shaw once wrote,“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make.They’re English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule,it is no longer a rule.What used to be wrong becomes right.People not only make history,they make language.But a people can only make its own language.It can’t make another people’s language.So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar,but they shouldn’t over do (做过头) it.They should put communication first.?
4.What is language used to do?
A.To express oneself.
B.To practise grammar rules.
C.To talk with foreigners only.
D.To learn lists of words.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。express oneself“表达自己的心里话,表达自己”的意思,这和原文中的“Language is for the exchange of ideas and information.”同义。
5.Generally,when an American or an Englishman speaks English,he .?
A.never makes mistakes
B.often makes mistakes
C.can’t avoid making mistakes
D.always makes mistakes
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。在文中提到“Native speakers make mistakes and break rules,too.”而且下文也提到类似的情况,所以答案为C项,“不可避免地犯错误”。
6.What does the sentence “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” mean?
A.Foreigners speak correct English.
B.Foreigners speak incorrect English.
C.Foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules.
D.Foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。非英语国家的人在学英语时,首先要学许多的规则,所以他们说话时总是套规则,太死板。
7.If too many native speakers break a rule, .?
A.what they use will become right
B.they are against the law
C.they should say sorry to others
D.they will become heroes
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。由原文中的“And if enough native speakers break a rule,it is no longer a rule.What used to be wrong becomes right.”可知A项是正确答案。
8.What should we do when we speak a foreign language?
A.We should speak in a Chinese way.
B.We should speak by the rules.
C.We should speak to native speakers.
D.We should not be afraid of making mistakes.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。通过文章我们知道语言的作用是什么,而且更明确在学习外语时,我们不仅要学语法,更重要的是学会使用这种语言来交往,当然就不能怕犯错误。

“Yes,”I said,“I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well,that’s 11 ,” he exclaimed(大声说).“Are you getting 12 ?But aren’t you a bit 13 ?”?
“Who is talking about marriage(婚姻)?”I replied.“I 14 want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived.Can you tell me 15 there’s a phone box?”?

Many British people like to travel to Spain,Italy and other warm countries for their holidays.They want to live in the sun for a few weeks and many of them like to take their cars on holiday with them.Then they can travel round the warm countries and see many places in a short time.
But there is a problem.It is only twenty-two miles from Dover in England to Calais in France,but between the two towns there is the English Channel.It is necessary to take the cars across the sea,and this is not easy.
Some passengers put their cars on a plane and fly across with them,but that is expensive.Others drive their cars onto large ferries(渡船).This is cheap,but the boats are slow and sometimes the sea is rough.There are days when more and more people choose to travel by hovercraft(气垫船).

50 Jobs for 50 States
During the past year,Daniel Seddiqui has travelled across the country,working for a week at a time in each of the 50 states.In each state,he chose a job that was representative of the state’s leading industries.Seddiqui worked as a logger in Oregon,an auto mechanic in Michigan and a park ranger in Wyoming.His goal was to learn how different people made a living,and he hoped to inspire others to try new careers.Here are some of his adventures:
Week 12
Oregon
Capital:Salem
Job:Logger
Almost half of the state of Oregon is covered with trees.Oregon was the first state to pass a Forest Practices Act,in 1971,which requires the replanting of trees after harvesting.Seddiqui’s advice to job seekers:“Never be scared to try something out of your comfort zone!”
Week 16
Kansas
Capital:Topeka
Job:Meat-packer
Home on the Range is the state’s official song and describes Kansas as “a home where the buffalo roam(漫游)”.The state ranks second in the nation in cattle production,with 6,650,000 total head.“I wanted to do a job that you can’t do in California,” Seddiqui said.
Week 23
Wisconsin
Capital:Madison
Job:Cheese maker
Not surprisingly,Wisconsin’s state beverage is milk;90% of the state’s dairy production is used to make cheese.
Week 25
Michigan
Capital:Lansing
Job:Auto mechanic
Founded in Dearborn in 1902,the Ford Motor Company produced the Model T,the first affordable automobile which popularized the idea that any American could own a car.
Week 26
Ohio
Capital:Columbus
Job:Weather forecaster
Located on the edge of Lake Erie,Ohio boasts the nation’s most unpredictable weather.The state is at risk for tornadoes,snowstorms and heavy rains.Seddiqui’s job came in handy:“A tornado hit Cleveland when I was there,” he said.
Week 33
Florida
Capital:Tallahassee
Job:Park entertainer
Universal Studios,Seaworld and Disney World are just a few of the theme parks that are located in Florida.Tourism is the state’s biggest industry,raking in $57 billion per year.“I feel that I can do anything and everything,” Seddiqui said.“I’ve proven that to myself.”
4.How many jobs that he has taken are mentioned in the passage?
A.6 B.7
C.8 D.9
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。第一段提到三项工作,后面举出了他在六个州分别从事的六项工作,其中包括第一段提到的两项工作“a logger in Oregon,an auto mechanic in Michigan”,因此应该选B项。
5.According to the passage,which of the following adjectives can be used to describe Daniel Seddiqui?
a.confident b.inexperienced c.energetic d.optimistic
e.brave f.selfish g.adaptable h.pessimistic
A.acdeg B.abcde
C.bfh D.acdef
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。从他能够周游各州去找工作可知他是“乐观的、勇敢的”,从他从事的各种工作来看可知他是“精力充沛的、适应性强的”,根据最后一段“I feel that I can do anything and everything”可知他是“自信的”。文中没有信息表明他是“没经验的、自私的和悲观的”。
6.What’s the text mainly about?
A.Daniel Seddiqui’s travel.
B.Different jobs in different states.
C.How to find a new job.
D.A few of Daniel Seddiqui’s employment adventures.
答案:D
解析:主旨大意题。纵观全文可知本文主要介绍了他激动人心的就业经历。由第一段也可得出答案。
7.What’s his purpose to try different jobs in different states?
A.To show the workers’ hard life to the public.
B.To show his ability to the public.
C.To inspire others to try new careers and to learn how different people make a living.
D.Just to satisfy his curiosity and to satisfy his adventurous dreams.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。由第一段第四句可知C项正确。
8.Which state is probably the home of the Ford Motor Company?
A.Oregon. B.Florida.
C.Michigan. D.Ohio.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。由Week 25中的内容可知C项正确。

Americans like to travel on their yearly holiday.Today,more and more travellers in the United States are spending nights at small houses or inns(客栈) instead of hotels.They get a room for the night and the breakfast the next morning.
Rooms for the night in private(私人的) homes with breakfast have been popular with travellers in Europe for many years.In the past five or ten years,these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the United States.Many of these America’s bed-and-breakfast inns are old historic buildings.Some bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms,while others are much larger.Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms;others do.
Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel.Usually the cost is much less.Staying at an inn is almost like visiting someone’s home.The owners are glad to tell about the areas and the interesting places to visit.Many vacationers say that they enjoy the chance to meet local families.

LET GO LOVE
There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love.One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving(快要饿死的)songbirds.She took them home and put them in a small cage.She cared them with love and the birds grew strong.Every morning they said hello to her with a wonderful song.The girl felt great love for the birds.
One day the girl left the door to the cage open.The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.The girl was so frightened that he would fly away.As he flew close,she grasped him wildly.Her heart felt glad at her success in catching him.Suddenly she felt the bird not move.She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird.
She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage.She could feel his great need for freedom.He needed to fly into the clear,blue sky.She lifted him from the cage and threw him softly into the air.The bird circled once,twice,three times.
The girl watched delightedly at the bird’s enjoyment.Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss.She wanted the bird to be happy.Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder.It sang the sweetest melody that she had ever heard.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight;the best way to keep love is to give it WINGS!
5.What did the girl want to do most?
A.To find a lovely bird.
B.To love others deeply.
C.To be loved by others.
D.To catch birds in the woods.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。由首段第一句中的“who longed so much for love”可知,这个孤独的女孩渴望得到爱,即被别人关爱。
6.Why did the girl take the songbirds home?
A.Because she wanted to take care of them.
B.Because she wanted them to keep her company.
C.Because she liked the two songbirds very much.
D.Because the two songbirds asked her for food.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。由第一段第三、四句可知,女孩把小鸟带回家后悉心照料、小鸟身体变得强壮可知,女孩把小鸟带回家的目的是想照料它们。
7.The author most probably agrees that .?
A.the girl didn’t love the birds in fact
B.the girl’s love killed the first bird
C.the two birds wanted to escape from the girl
D.the two birds hated to fly in the sky
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。由最后一段中的“The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight”可知,女孩虽然爱这只鸟,但正是她的爱使得她用力抓住小鸟,从而导致小鸟丧命。
8.It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .?
A.the girl realised what the best way to love the bird is
B.the girl didn’t know what the true love is
C.it was the girl who taught the second bird how to fly
D.it was the second bird who taught the girl how to love
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。第二段中女孩发现自己对小鸟的疼爱使小鸟失去了生命,因此在第三段中她对另一只小鸟的疼爱采用了另外一种方式,即放小鸟回到广袤的天空。由此推断出她意识到了疼爱小鸟的最佳方式是什么。
9.According to the passage,if a mother wants to love her child,what should she do?
A.She should keep him beside her.
B.She should do everything for him.
C.She should keep away from him.
D.She should let him go to realize his dream.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据短文的最后一段可知,如果真爱一个人,就要给爱一双翅膀。对于一位母亲来说,如果真正疼爱自己的孩子,不是把他留在身边,而是放开手让他去实现自己的理想。

The boy gave me a 16 look,and then stood up.As he left he shouted out,“This woman is 17 !”Everyone stared.That really made me feel silly,but it was 18 when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave.My face went red—as red as his hair when I 19 I’d made a mistake.It wasn’t my chocolate he’d been taking.There was mine, 20 ,just under my newspaper.?

七、阅读理解
A
After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994,earthquake scientists had good news to report:the damage and death toll(损失) could have been much worse.
More than 60 people died in this earthquake.By comparison,an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims(遇难者).
Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 am on a holiday,when traffic was light on the city’s highways.In addition,changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways,making them more resistant to quakes.
Despite the good news,civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes.Pinned to their drawing boards are blue prints for improved quake-resistant buildings.The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.
In the past,making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials,such as steel and wood,that bend without breaking.Later,people tried to lift a building off its foundation,and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations(震动).The most recent 5 designs give buildings brains as well as concrete(混凝土) and steel support.Called smart buildings,the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations.When the ground shakes and the building tips forward,the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.
The new smart structures could be very expensive to build.However,they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.
1.One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that .?
A.improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways
B.it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highways
C.large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holiday
D.new computers had been installed in the buildings
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知答案为A项。
2.The fun_ction of the computer mentioned in the passage is to .?
A.help strengthen the foundation of the buildings
B.predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy
C.counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the buildings
D.measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句可知计算机的作用,故C项为正确答案。
3.The smart buildings discussed in the passage .?
A.would cause serious financial problems
B.would be worthwhile though costly
C.would increase the complexity of architectural design
D.can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据文章最后一段可知B项为正确答案。
4.The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to .?
A.compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U.S.
B.encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computers
C.outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materials
D.report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildings
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者主要介绍、宣传现代防震建筑材料的现状与发展前景,故D项为正确答案。

导学号92730036
There has been a great increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years,and it is reported that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future.Some of the world’s leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.
London
London’s flood defenses(防御工事) are getting older.Since 1982,the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding,but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years.About 26 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions.By 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every flood if the problem is not solved.
There are 26 underground stations,400 schools,16 hospitals,an airport and 80 billion wealth in London’s flood risk area,so large flooding would be extremely terrible.
Paris
Over a six week period in July and August 2003,more than 11,400―mainly old people―died in France because of dehydration(脱水)and extremely high body temperature in a terrible heat wave.Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050,so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?
One solution is to have air-conditioners in elderly care homes.But this is considered a short-term solution,as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(碳排放).
In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower,” which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.
Shanghai
Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth.It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level.Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.
About 250,000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work,placing extra demands on energy.China relies heavily on coal fired power stations,but these emissions increase temperatures and,in turn,warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.
5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Big Cities Facing Big Disasters
B.Big Disasters in the Future
C.The Increase of Natural Disasters
D.Solutions to Natural Disasters
答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。由第一段最后一句“Some of the world’s leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.”可知,本段主要讲述世界上几个大城市面临的一些灾难。故选A项。
6.What problem should be solved now in London?
A.How to protect the city’s wealth.
B.Where to build its flood defenses.
C.How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city.
D.How to improve the fun_ction of the old flood defenses.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。由London部分主要围绕着它的洪水防御工事越来越老化可知,应选择D项。
7.Which of the following measures can’t solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?
A.Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo.
B.Having air-conditioners in elderly care homes.
C.Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower”.
D.Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。由Paris部分内容可知,A、B和D项所叙述的内容均有助于解决巴黎的热浪,只有C项不对。
8.The major threats to Shanghai are .?
A.increasing population
B.rising sea levels and typhoons
C.coal-fired power stations
D.extra demands on energy
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。由Shanghai部分提到的rising sea levels和typhoons可知,应选择B项。

五、阅读理解
A
The only threat(威胁) to humankind,besides humankind itself,is nature.Natural disasters are the result of natural environmental processes(过程) that have a damaging effect on people.Natural disasters come in many forms:such as geological events like earthquakes,climatic events like tornadoes(龙卷风) and storms,and fire events like forest fires and wildfires.
The damage done by natural disasters is mainly because we are not able to predict(预测) exactly when they will happen.Although great progress has been made in designing and developing forecasting models for some natural disasters,complete certainty is still impossible.
What’s more,even though we were able to predict(预测) these disasters,preventing them is equally impossible.So we only have two ways to both prevent injuries or deaths and reduce economic losses to the least.These two methods are to prepare before a natural disaster hits,and to manage the necessary resources and public services after a natural disaster strikes.
These two things have been at the leading position of the projects of both national governments and international organizations.In the United States,the Federal Emergency Management Agency is responsible(负责的) for the “preparedness,response and recovery planning” of both man-made and natural disasters.
Most natural disasters cannot be prevented,and both emergency preparation and good disaster management are the best ways to deal with them.
1.According to the passage,both humankind and nature .?
A.can be managed orderly
B.can threaten human beings
C.are hard to control
D.have a large family
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。由第一段第一句可知,除了人类自己之外,对人类的唯一威胁就是大自然,故答案为B项。
2.The reason why natural disasters cause so much damage is that .?
A.it is very difficult to predict when exactly they will happen
B.our forecasting equipment is too old for many natural disasters
C.we don’t do enough preparation before natural disasters strike
D.we don’t have the necessary public services to use after natural disasters strike
答案:A
解析:由第二段第一句可知,自然灾难之所以给人类造成巨大损失,是因为人类难以预测出灾难发生的准确时间。
3.It can be learned from the text that .?
A.human beings can prevent natural disasters
B.human beings can’t predict any natural disasters
C.human beings have two ways to change natural disasters
D.human beings can prepare before a disaster comes
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。由第三段内容可知,人类可以在自然灾难来临之前做好准备。故选D项。
B
It was 3:12 am when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer woke up to the smell of burning.Except for the cracking of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-story house at Baldwin,Long Island.With his father away on night duty at a local factory,Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother,his sister Karen,14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd.He ran downstairs(到楼下) through the smoke-filled house to push and pull Karen and Todd until they sat up.Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden.There,his sister and brother,taking short and quick breaths and coughing(咳嗽),sat on the ground.
The nine-year-old boy ran back into the house and upstairs to his mother’s room.He found it impossible to wake her up.Mrs Kreamer,because of the smoke,was unconscious(无意识的),and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden.But the boy remained calm and,as a fireman said later,“acted with all the self-control of a trained(训练) grown-up”.
On the bedroom telephone,luckily still working,Glenn called his father and,leaving Mr Kreamer to telephone the firemen and ambulance service,got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket(水桶) with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed.Then,with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
He could hear the fire engine coming up,but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house?
Carrying a ball of string (线) from the garage,Glenn ran back into the house and went upstairs to his mother’s room.Tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back,laying out the string as he went,through the hall and back out into the garden.
Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan,“The string will lead you to my mother.” Mrs Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.
4.Why did Glenn run downstairs first?

US President Barack Obama has written a children’s book.It was published on 16 November,2010.
The book—Of Thee I Sing:A Letter To My Daughters—was written before Mr Obama took office in January 2009.The 40-page book expresses respect for 13 Americans,from the first President George Washington to baseball legend(传奇人物) Jackie Robinson.
Mr Obama has already published three books which have become best-sellers.The cover of his new book is a picture of his two daughters,Sasha and Malia,walking their dog Bo.Money from the book is to go to a fund for the children of soldiers killed and disabled in wars.
The new book was published by Random House.Associated Press news agency said that the publisher had signed a three-book contract with Mr Obama in 2004.
Chip Gibson is the head of Random House’s children’s department.He said “Of Thee I Sing celebrates something that units all Americans—the power to seek our dreams and build our own roads.It is an honour to publish this wonderful book,which is a good combination of words and pictures,history and story.”
The Audacity of Hope was the first of the three books under the Random House contract,which was published in 2007.It was also Mr Obama’s 2006 political manifesto(宣言).The other has not been published yet.
Mr Obama’s other book,Dreams From My Father,was published in 1995.Another book,Change We Can Believe In,was published in 2008.It was said that Mr Obama and his wife Michelle earned $5,500,000(￡3,600,000) in 2009,mainly from book sales.

A.To introduce how to educate children.
B.To show his daughters’ life to the public.
C.To express his 2006 political manifesto.
D.To tell stories of 13 famous Americans.

A.contributed to a fund
B.donated to the disabled soldiers
C.given to Obama’s two daughters

答案:A

Flynn Murphy was a top student in his high school class and in 2011 he was accepted to Sydney University,the top university in Australia.
But when it came to leave for school,Murphy decided to trade in his books for a backpack.He left Australia behind and travelled in China and Southeast Asia.And the decision changed his life.
“There is a lot of pressure (压力) even in high school,” said Murphy,who is now a second-year student studying Media and Communication in Sydney University.“That’s why a gap year is becoming common in Australia.I have done some research and students who take a year off and reduce some of the pressure always do better in university.”
Murphy decided to travel to China mostly.He said,“China is right next to Australia,so that was convenient(便利的).But I was also attracted to the differences between the two countries.I wanted to challenge myself.”
The challenge paid off.Murphy returned a year later,a more confident and independent (独立的) person.Murphy said,“Travelling helps you make friends quickly.It also makes your mind rich.”
“Spending time in some poor areas really made me like Australia,” Murphy continued.“It makes you feel ashamed,because the quality of life in Australia is higher than that in poor countries.However,it also makes you want to do more.”?
Murphy doesn’t just talk.He puts his words into action.While he has no set plan,he volunteers(自愿) whenever he has free time,which can be many hours every week.Murphy joins the Glebe (an Australian town) Basketball Association,a league trying to help children from poorer families in the inner city develop some good habits by playing basketball.
5.What does Murphy think of his travel in China and Southeast Asia?
A.Difficult. B.Helpful.

B.His family was not rich enough for him to continue his college education.
C.He hoped to relax himself and learn more about life.
D.He wanted to do research about China and Southeast Asia.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。由第三段墨菲所说的“中学压力大”是大家在上大学前休学一年的主要原因。

Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents (专利)on inventions than any other American.When he died in 1931,Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him.One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout(灯火熄灭).All electric power would be shut off in homes,streets,and factories.Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions mean to them.Electric power was too important to the country.Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion(困惑).A blackout was out of the question.
On the day of Edison’s funeral(葬礼),many people silently turned off their lights.In this way they honoured the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen’s fingertips(指尖).

Every one of us knows that Albert Einstein was a world-famous scientist.Perhaps we don’t know much about his life.Here are some interesting anecdotes(轶事) about him.
When he arrived in New York to be a professor at Princeton University,Einstein was anxious to avoid visitors and newsmen.So his friends took him off the ship secretly before it docked (靠上码头) and hurried him away by car.
Einstein said that only twelve people at that time understood his Theory of Relativity (相对论),although more than nine hundred books had been written to explain it.
Mrs Einstein admitted that even she did not understand the Theory of Relativity;but she understood something far more important for a wife;she understood her husband.
She used to invite some friends for tea and then she would ask her husband to come downstairs and join them.“No!” Einstein would say with anger.He simply couldn’t stand those “interruptions (打扰)”.
But Mrs Einstein persuaded(说服) her husband with great patience and had him drink tea with them and take a good rest.
Mrs Einstein said that her husband liked order in his thinking,but he didn’t like it in his life.He did whatever he wanted to.
Einstein had only two rules of conduct (行为准则):one was “Don’t be restrained (限制) by any rule”,and the other was “Be independent from the opinions of others”.
Einstein led a very simple life.When he went out,he was always in old clothes,and seldom did he wear a hat.He liked to whistle and sing in the bathroom.
He shaved with the same soap as he used for his bath.It seems strange that the great scientist trying to solve the mysteries of the universe should consider that using two pieces of soap made life too complicated.
Einstein said he was happy because he didn’t want money or titles or foolish praises.He made his own happiness out of such simple things as playing the violin and sailing his boat.
Einstein’s violin brought him more joy than anything else in his life.He said he often thought in music and made his day-dreams in music.
6.Albert Einstein was taken off the ship secretly by his friends because .?
A.he dared not see anyone
B.he didn’t want to meet visitors and reporters
C.he wanted to save the time
D.he was afraid of being stopped by someone
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。第二段第一句中提到“Einstein was anxious to avoid visitors and newsmen.”,因此我们知道他十分迫切地想避开前来拜访的人和新闻记者,故选B项。
7.Usually Einstein would refuse to join some friends,for .?
A.he couldn’t bear being disturbed
B.he was ashamed to meet friends
C.he disliked making friends
D.he was angry with his friends
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。第五段谈到了当妻子让爱因斯坦下楼来加入朋友的聚会时,他总是拒绝,因为他忍受不了被别人打搅。
8.Why did he shave with the same soap as he used for his bath?
A.It was his special habit of shaving.
B.He was lazy.
C.He wanted to be an independent man.
D.He didn’t want to be kept under control by any rule.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。由文章倒数第三段我们知道他认为使用两块肥皂会使他的生活变得复杂化,又因他的一个生活准则就是不喜欢受任何规则的约束,因此答案为D项。
9.What do you think of Einstein?
A.He was a strange scientist.
B.He liked order in his life.
C.He was a simple man with great achievements.
D.He didn’t like order in his work.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。由第七段第一句“Mrs Einstein said that her husband liked order in his thinking,but he didn’t like it in his life.”可知B项和D项是错误的。读完全文,读者不会感到爱因斯坦非常怪异,相反,我们知道他对人类做出了很大贡献。故答案为C项。

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
In America,when the eighth graders leave the middle school,they are often worried about moving to the high school.It is a hard time for them,but it can be an exciting one as well.To make it easier,students need to get familiar with their school.
Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school,it’s still important to find where their classrooms are.Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year.And,most schools also have a freshman (新生)speech for parents and students before the first year begins.Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school.This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.
One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport.Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports.Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school.If you are not interested in sports,there are clubs for any interest,such as drama,dance,chess,photography,community service,etc.These clubs allow students from different grades.By joining an activity,students can find new friendships,not to mention improving their chances in future college applications(申请).The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.
What’s more,to have a great start to a high school year,students can write down some of their worries,and ask for help from teachers and school workers.

C
The first time I went for a walk around my father-in-law’s neighbourhood in America was Garbage Day,and I was shocked to see what people were throwing out.
It was back in 1981,and I saw many people gather in someone’s front yard.As I went nearer to see what was happening,I got my first introduction to yard sales.For the few dollars I had in my wallet,I was able to buy a seven-inch black-and-white portable TV.I also bought a flashlight.
The following weekend,at another yard sale,I saw a 14-inch colour TV being sold for almost nothing.I felt I could not miss the offer and bought it.Now I had two sets and couldn’t wait to see what else I could afford the next weekend.
Spring ended,and by then I had accumulated almost every type of electronic equipment I had always wished to have back home.
Then this new idea came to mind.I had heard about a man who travelled back home every few months.He drove a truck filled with boxes of new and used stuff that people were sending to relatives.So I told my father that I would send as many types of items as I could so that he could start his resale business.
Every few months I would gather several boxes of American “junk” televisions,toasters,fans,hair dryers,etc.and sent them home.As word got out about my father’s “trash” market,people all came to buy these things.
Three years later,when I visited my family for the first time since leaving home,I learned that many of the families in our neighborhood had a piece of “trash”.It proved that I had the responsibility to keep people back home in Guatemala up to date with the latest technology you no longer need.
29.According to the text,a yard sale is a place where people .?
A.sell their front yards at a low price
B.sell unwanted things in their own yards
C.gather in someone’s yard to enjoy things
D.throw away their trash in someone’s yard

A.the second TV set was bigger
B.the second TV set was a colour TV
C.the second TV set was very cheap
D.he wanted two TV sets very much
答案:C
解析:结合第三段前两句的内容可知,作者之所以感觉不能错过这样的机会,是因为这台彩电非常便宜,几乎不用花钱。
31.What did the author think of the “junk” he bought?
A.He thought they were valuable.
B.He thought they were not worth buying.
C.He was not surprised to see them thrown away.
D.He thought he could sell them for a good price.
答案:A
解析:第四段中提到,作者收集了几乎所有类型的电子设备并一直希望把它们带回家,下文说,运回家的这些“垃圾”深受父老乡亲的喜爱,结合文章最后一句可知,作者认为自己购买的这些东西是有价值的。
32.From the passage we can infer that .?
A.the author comes from a poor place
B.the author often goes home to sell the “junk”
C.the author buys the “junk” only to make profits
D.the “junk” is not welcomed in the author’s hometown
答案:A

In Europe,many people make friends between their countries through town twinning.Town or city twinning means two towns in different countries agree and decide to become “twins” with a sister city relationship.
The people find pen friends in the twin town.They exchange newspapers and stamps.The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town.Officials visit the twin town for celebrations.Ordinary people travel to the twin town,too,but not very often if it is far away.
Sometimes,schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks!For example,German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain,staying with British families.A few months later,their British friends come to study in Germany.
Many British towns are so pleased with the results of the twinning that they set out to find more than one twin town!
Tonbridge,a small town in Kent,for example,has twin town in both Germany and France.Richmond near London has relationships with Germany,France and even a town in a Balkan country!

Today’s post is almost about signs in English.You will see signs on the road while driving or when walking down a street.Now let’s take a closer look at the signs in the picture below,so you can fully understand what they mean in case you come across one of them.
Starting with the top row,we have a:
/
Yield sign — This sign indicates (标示) that you need to slow down,but you may not have to come to a full stop.
Crosswalk — This is a sign that indicates people have the right of way to cross the street,so cars have to stop when they see a person waiting next to one of these signs.
Second row:
Do not enter — This sign indicates you are not allowed to enter a road at that point.
Buckle up(系好安全带)!— There are often signs on roads in the United States reminding people that wearing seat belts(安全带) is mandatory (强制的) (seat belt laws differ depending on what state you are in,but all US states have seat belt laws).
Third row:
Be alert (警惕的) for bears — This is another sign that is used to indicate to drivers and pedestrians (行人) that they should be alert for wildlife in the area.
Playground—This is the sign used to alert drivers that there is a playground nearby,so it is a good idea to slow down and watch for children.?
25.Where can you often see the signs?

C.On the road. D.In the class.

At Harton College—an English boarding (寄宿) school for boys,there are many rules.Fifteen-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks them.
The boys can go into the town in the afternoon after class.But they must return to the school at six o’clock.One afternoon Bob walked to the town.He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema.After the film,he looked at his watch.It was after eight o’clock.He was a little worried.He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible.
When he arrived,he ran quickly to the main entrance.It was locked.He went round the school building to another door.That one was locked,too.He looked up at the window of his dormitory.It was on the third floor.The window was open.But it was quite dark and he could not climb up the wall easily.Then he saw another open window on the ground floor.It was the window of the headmaster’s study.
He looked into the room—no one was there.Bob quickly climbed on to the window and jumped into the room.Just then he heard a noise.Then someone turned on a light in the corridor(走廊).Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa.One minute later,Mr Mannering,the headmaster,came in.He turned on the light on his desk,and sat down on the sofa.Then he opened a book and began to read.
Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible.He couldn’t move.The floor was cold and uncomfortable.He looked at the headmaster’s shoes and socks for an hour.
“Why doesn’t he get up and go to bed?” Bob thought.
Mr.Mannering read his book for another hour.Finally,the headmaster closed his book and stood up.He put the book on a shelf and walked towards the door.
“Thank God he didn’t find me under the sofa,” thought Bob.
Then Mr.Mannering stopped and spoke towards the sofa.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
It was 1504,and Columbus was making another trip to the New World.Columbus and his men needed fresh water and food after three months at sea.They saw an island and went on shore.On the island there were unfriendly Indians who refused to give food to them.Columbus’ men were afraid of the Indians,but he had a clever plan.He used sign language to tell the Indians about his mysterious (神秘的) power to turn off the light in the sky.He knew about a lunar eclipse (月蚀) the next night because the information was in his almanac (天文历书).Columbus told the Indians,“Tomorrow night I’ll turn off the light in the sky.” But they didn’t believe him.When the eclipse began the next night,the Indians became very frightened.They begged Columbus to turn on the light again,and they quickly gave him all the food and water he wanted.Immediately Columbus and his men hurried back to the ship and sailed away in the moonless night.
21.Why did Columbus and his men stop at the island?
A.Because they wanted to meet the Indians there.
B.Because they hoped to get supplies of food and water.
C.Because they had never been on the island before.
D.Because they had planned to visit it.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据“Columbus and his men needed fresh water and food after three months at sea.”可推知他们停下来是希望对方能够给自己淡水和食物。
22.The Indians Columbus and his men.?
A.were glad to see B.were kind to
C.welcomed D.were not kind to
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。由“On the island there were unfriendly Indians who refused to give food to them.”可知这儿的人们并不友好。
23.How did Columbus tell the Indians that he had mysterious power?
A.He used movements of hands and expressions in his face.
B.He spoke in the language of the Indians.
C.He drew a lot of signs.
D.He wrote in the language of the Indians.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。由“He used sign language to tell the Indians”可以得出答案。
24.The Indians gave Columbus food and water because they .?
A.believed Columbus was a man with mysterious power
B.were interested in Columbus’ trip
C.wanted to help Columbus
D.were clever
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。由印第安人最终把食物和淡水都给了哥伦布,并祈求他让月亮出来,可推知,他们认为哥伦布是个具有神奇力量的人。
B
People who like travelling have their reasons.They believe that travelling can help them expand their field of view,especially in the geographical and historical sense.They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities.But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.
Travelling,in my opinion,does more good than harm.Most importantly,it broadens(使扩大)our mind.We can get in touch with other civilizations(文明),cultures,customs and ideas.
Through history,most people travelled because of necessity(必要性)—not for pleasure.People travelled just in order to remain alive.They searched for food to eat or places to live in.They sometimes ran away from enemies.This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for fun of it.In ancient times,for example,rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games,and festivals.Of course,some people decided to travel just out of curiosity(好奇心).They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon(地平线).Also business travel has been going on for centuries.Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.
So,travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us.There is no doubt that we can get much from it.
25.The underlined word“expand”in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “ ”.?
A.widen B.protect
C.lose D.decide
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段出现的broadens(使扩大)及最后一段的enrich,可以推测这里的expand一词表示“扩大,拓宽”,与widen意思最接近。
26.According to the passage,in the past most people travelled .?
A.for fun B.for knowledge
C.to get experiences D.to make a living
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段可知在古代人们外出多是为了生计奔波。
27.How many reasons for travelling are mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A.Three. B.Four.
C.Five. D.Six.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。第三段中作者提到了四种旅游的原因或动机,分别是:necessity,fun,curiosity和trade。
28.In the writer’s opinion,travelling can be .?
A.expensive B.funny
C.helpful D.tiring
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。作者主要讲了旅游带来的种种好处,由第二段及最后一段都能看出他对旅游持积极肯定的态度,认为旅游很有益处。
C
Americans spend their holidays in different ways.Some of them like to travel abroad and get to know something about the foreign countries.For example,they may go to China and learn about its old traditions and habits.However,this kind of trip is not always pleasant.First,it is not so convenient and second the service they receive in the foreign countries is not quite satisfactory.
Some of the Americans enjoy travelling within their own states,usually going to the seaside towns or cities during summer.They may stay there for one or two weeks and then come back home.This kind of trip is always cheaper and pleasant.
Another group care for travelling very much.They just get on a plane in the morning and get off a ship in the evening.They like to go across the country,from north to south,and west to east.
For the last group,they just want to stay at home and do their housework with the radio or the television on.They say holiday is the time for rest,not for travelling.
29.Some Americans like to travel to the outside because .?
A.their own country has nothing interesting
B.the outside world is very advanced
C.they want to know something about the history of some countries
D.they have a lot of money and cannot spend them all in their own country
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。由第一段第二句可知,有些人喜欢旅游,是想了解外国的一些情况。
30.There is something that the foreigners are not very satisfied with when they travel outside.It is .?
A.the food B.the habit
C.the people they meet D.the service
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知,这些外出旅游的人不满意的地方是:他们得到的服务不令人满意。
31.If an American wants to go abroad for his holiday,he probably goes to to learn about ancient culture.?
A.Egypt B.Australia
C.England D.Canada
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。在四个选项中,只有A项(埃及)有悠久的历史文化。
32.Some Americans don’t like travelling in their holidays,because .?
A.they are lazy
B.they don’t have much money
C.they like to rest at home

Mr Brown worked in a factory of a small town.He had been there for twenty years before one day he was sent to the capital for important business.He was quite excited because he had never been there before.Before he set off,he asked his wife and three daughters if they wanted him to buy something for them in London.Mrs Brown began to think it over and then she said she wished her husband would be able to buy a nice umbrella for her,and so did their three daughters.As he was afraid he would forget it,he drew an umbrella on his hand.To his regret,he lost it at the station.
On the train Mr Brown sat opposite to an old woman.The woman’s umbrella was so nice that he carefully looked at it and said to himself not to forget to buy a few umbrellas like it.When the train arrived at the station in London,he said goodbye to the old woman,took his bag and her umbrella and was going to get off.
“Wait a minute,sir,”shouted the old woman.“That’s my umbrella!”
Now Mr Brown noticed that he had taken her umbrella.His face turned red at once and said in a hurry,“Oh,I’m very sorry,madam! I didn’t mean it!”
Seven days later Mr Brown left the capital.To his surprise,he met the old woman and sat opposite to her again.Looking at his four umbrellas,the old woman was satisfied with herself.“It seems that I was luckier than the other four women.”She thought.
33.We learn from the passage that Mr Brown was .?
A.a conductor B.a worker
C.a thief D.an umbrella maker
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。由第一段第一句“Mr Brown worked in a factory of a small town.”可知,布朗先生是在一家小城镇的工厂里工作,故推知他是一名工人。
34.What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A.His ticket. B.His bag.
C.His drawing. D.His umbrella.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。此处的it用来指代上句中的he drew an umbrella,即他画的那幅伞的画。
35.Why did Mr Brown take the woman’s umbrella?
A.Because he was lost in thought.
B.Because it was much like his own.
C.Because he thought the woman didn’t notice it.
D.Because the woman misplaced it.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第二、三、四段可推知,布朗先生之所以拿着那位老太太的伞走,是因为他陷入了深思。

36 Being angry doesn’t really solve much,but what people do when they feel angry is important.The goal is to calm yourself down and try to solve what is bothering you.This is hard for some kids and adults,too.Instead of calming down,some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano(像火山爆发)!?
37 Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper.They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful.People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper. 38 ?
Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents,break something,or even worse,hit their brothers or sisters. 39 However,it’s not OK for a kid to do any of those things.Kids don’t want to act in this way,but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage.So what to do??
Well,the good news is that kids don’t just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. 40 Imagine your temper as a puppy(幼犬)inside you that needs some training.The puppy is not bad—it will probably turn out a great dog.It just needs to learn some rules because,right now,that puppy is causing some problems to you.?
A.You can train your temper.
B.You don’t want to cause trouble.
C.Kids should be allowed to express their feelings,even angry ones.
D.Everybody gets angry sometimes.
E.In fact,they usually mean that a kid behaves badly when feeling angry.
F.Instead of thinking of the person you’re angry with,think of something else.
G.Some kids get angry more often or more easily than some other kids.

M:We are lucky to have in the studio today,Molly Taylor.Molly is arranging an activity course for the summer holidays.Molly,this is the second year of the course,isn’t it?
W:Yes,that’s right.The summer course operated last year for a six-week period.We did think about making it longer this year and have a seven-week course,as some schools finish their term a week earlier.But in the end we decided to keep to the same plan as last year.And we were actually very surprised last year by the number of people interested in the course.We didn’t actually have enough workers to look after all the children who wanted to attend and we had to turn people away.There was such a lot of rain that we had to organize art and music activities indoors.This year we also considered providing some more exciting adventure sports like rock climbing and caving.We decided not to,in the end,because it would make the course a lot more expensive for parents.Instead,we’re introducing some fun projects.For example,we’re going to put on a talent show and organize an American Night.I think it will be good for the kids,and teach them good skills too.As parents,you should go to my website, and print out an application form.Send it to my office address as soon as possible,because the places are going fast.We do need to know if the child has any special needs regarding their diet.

The English language started about 1500 years ago in England.Three groups of people came to the country.They were the Angles,the Saxons,and the Jutes.These three groups brought their languages with them to England.After some time,the three languages became one new language—English.The name “English” comes from the Angles.They lived in most of England.“England” means “Angle Land” or “Country of the Angles”.
The language that we speak today—Modern English—is not the same as the English that people used 1500 years ago,including Old English (before 1150) and Middle English (up till 1500).That language—Old English—sounds different,and it has some different rules of grammar.There were only a few thousand words in Old English.But Modern English does come from Old English,and it is still like it in many important ways.

Standard English is the formal English that you need to use when you write in coursework or in the exam.Standard English is the form of English you learn in school.All written English should be standard means that it should be clear enough for anyone in Britain to understand it.Standard English developed as the main form of printed English in the 15th century.At the time,every region of Britain used to spell words differently,but printers needed a fixed spelling.Printers like Caxton chose the East Midlands dialect form which was used in London and the South East.Soon standard English replaced all written dialect forms—the other forms of English spoken around the country.It also replaced French and Latin in law and in academic (学术的) works.In the 18th century,people wrote dictionaries and grammar books which standardized spelling.Dr Johnson’s Dictionary of 1755 fixed many of the spellings we still use today.All written English should be standard English—any grammar rules you learn are for standard English and you will definitely need to learn them to avoid making mistakes in your work.The rules of standard English mean using the correct forms of words with the correct spellings.
Avoid slang words (俚语)—words that your teachers or friends wouldn’t understand.You’ll lose marks if the examiners can’t understand what you say or write.Don’t use dialect words.Every region has words or phrases that are only used there.Don’t use them in your coursework,because you won’t be understood.Make sure you revise grammar and punctuation (标点) you have learned,and learn the list of commonly misspelled words you have made.Clichés are ideas or sayings which have been used so often that they’ve become boring and unoriginal.Phrases like,“As good as it gets” “At the end of the day” “In the fullness of time” are all clichés.
So are images like,“as fierce as a lion” “as cunning as a fox”.If you use them you will sound boring and unimaginative—that could mean you lose marks for writing and speaking style.So avoid clichés.
33.What is standard English?
A.The English spoken by British people.
B.The English spoken by American people.
C.The English spoken by British people in the 15th Century.
D.The English used in London.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。由第一段第四句和第六句可知。
34.What are clichés according to the passage?
A.The English full of slang words.
B.The long phrases which are used often.
C.The boring ideas or sayings because of being used often.
D.All the English which is used outside of London and in the southeast of Britain.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。由第二段第七句“Clichés are ideas or sayings...”可知。
35.Why do we need to use standard English?
A.Because no one can understand dialect words.
B.Because local dialect belongs to a certain region,not everyone can understand it.
C.Because there are many kinds of English in the world,we need standard English to make communication easier.
D.Because standard English has been used for a long time.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。由第一段第三句和第二段第四、五句可知。

Many old words 46 in England but were kept in America.For example,300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they called either a “faucet”,a “spigot”,or a “tap”.All these words are 47 heard in different parts of America,but only “tap” is still common in 48 .Americans often made up new words or changed old 49 .“Corn” is one kind of plant in America and 50 in England.?
Also,over the last three centuries the English language has 51 thousands of new words for things that weren’t known 52 .And often,American and English people used two 53 names for them.A tin can is called “tin” for short in England,but a “can” in America.The word “radio” is 54 all over the world,including America.But many English people call it “wireless”.And almost anything having something to do 55 cars,railroads,etc. 56 different names in British and American English.?
But now American and British English may be growing close together.One 57 is the large amount of American speeches that British people hear daily in movies,on television,or 58 travelers. 59 this,Americans seem to be influencing the British more or less.So some day,English may even be 60 on both sides of the Atlantic.?

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Francis Bacon,one of the most important philosophers (哲学家) of England,was born in London and educated at Cambridge University.When he was only 15,he went to France to work for the English ambassador (大使).Two years later,he went up to England to study law.At the age of twenty-three he was chosen to parliament (议会).His ideas about how scientists should study things in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking,called the scientific method.
One of the Bacon’s best-known books was his Essays.Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying,conversation,friends and healthful living.In many of his books,Bacon explained how scientists should study things as they really exist in nature and then try to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it was.Later,by doing experiments,the scientist could see that any cause would always have the same result.This method,which is called inductive reasoning,is used by all the scientists today,but it was new in Bacon’s time.?
21.According to the passage we know that .?
A.Francis Bacon was the most important philosopher of England
B.Francis Bacon had good education
C.Francis Bacon worked for a French ambassador at the age of 15
D.Francis Bacon stayed in France until he was 23
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知,培根是在剑桥大学接受的教育,从而可知他受过良好的教育。本题也可用排除法选出正确答案,由文中的“one of the most important philosophers(哲学家)”可把A项排除;由“he went to France to work for the English ambassador(大使)”可把C项排除;由“Two years later,he went up to England to study law.”可知培根17岁就回到了英国学习法律,因此D项是错误的。故选B项。
22.It can be known that Francis Bacon was famous for .?
A.inventing the scientific method of studying things in nature
B.his books
C.his Essays and his education
D.being a member of parliament
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。由短文第二段的第一句“One of the Bacon’s best-known books was his Essays.”可知培根因为他的书籍而出名。
23.Which of the following is NOT the subject of Bacon’s essays?
A.Studying.
B.Conversation.
C.Friends and healthful living.
D.London.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。由第二段的“Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying,conversation,friends and healthful living.”可知,答案为D项。
24.The underlined phrase “inductive reasoning” in the last paragraph means “ ”.?
A.to discover general laws from particular facts or examples
B.to reach a conclusion by reasoning from general laws to a particular case
C.to study things as they used to be
D.to study things in a particular way
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。由该词组所在句的上一句“Later,by doing experiments,the scientist could see that any cause would always have the same result.”可推知答案为A项。
B
Do you suppose Darwin,one of the greatest scientists of all time,really did fools’ experiments?Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?
Sometimes,people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution (解决办法) to a problem.Sometimes,they really do know an answer or a solution,but without thinking they are important.
Charles Darwin didn’t settle for (满足于) just thinking he knew something.And,he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.
Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are exactly the same size and shape.If you drop them at the same time in the same place,they will fall in the same way.Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight (紧的) little ball and let it drop along with the other sheet.What happens?You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything.
But this simple experiment is important.It explains part of our present-day understanding of physics,ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton.And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics.?
Science sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them.Even the simplest idea,which we might think is foolish,can shake the foundations of science.
25.The passage tells us that Charles Darwin .?
A.was a great English scientist
B.always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult
C.thought even the simplest thing was important
D.didn’t get well with others
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。短文并没有说起 Charles Darwin是哪个国家的科学家,可排除A项;由第三段可知别人认为Darwin的许多实验不值得做,可把B项排除;文中没有论述Darwin与人相处的事情,可排除D项。由第三段中的“he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.”可推出答案为C项。
26.The underlined phrase “set aside” most probably means .?
A.throw away
B.store up
C.put to use
D.realize
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。由上文可知作者认为做这个简单实验是重要的,它解释了目前人们对于物理方面的理解。因此这些理解当然是推翻了一些希腊物理学的观点。由此可推知set aside与throw away同义。
27.The author of the passage tries to .?
A.convince us that Charles Darwin,Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the world
B.draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple things
C.prove that two sheets of paper,with the same size and shape,will fall at the same speed
D.draw our attention to everyday happenings around us
答案:D
解析:主旨大意题。短文的最后一段点明最简单的事情都可能摇动科学的根基,意在告诉读者要留意身边的每一件事,哪怕它非常简单。
28.Which one of the following is true?
A.Darwin really did fools’ experiments.
B.According to some people Darwin did foolish experiments.
C.It is believed by all people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple.
D.Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。短文第一段第二句“Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?”明确告诉我们有些人认为Darwin做了愚蠢的实验。
C
It was Christmas,1961.I was teaching in a small town in Ohio where my third graders were eagerly waiting for the great day of giving gifts.Each day the children made something new—strings of popcorn,hand-made trinkets(小饰品) and bells made from wallpaper,which we hung from the ceiling.One girl was just watching.I wondered what would happen to this child,once so happy,now so quiet.I hoped the festivities would please her,but nothing did.
We made cards for parents,for sisters and brothers,for grandparents,and for each other.At home the students made fried marbles.So I made each of my students a little bag for carrying their fried marbles home.
The day finally came.We were all excited as we exchanged the presents.But the girl just sat watching quietly.I had made a special bag for her.I wanted to see her smile.She opened the bag carefully.I waited,but she turned away.?
After school the children left.I was sitting down in a chair to catch my breath,when she came to me with a small white box in her hands.
“For me?” I asked with a smile.She nodded.I opened the box.There inside,a fried marble hung from a golden chain.
In a flash I knew—she had make it for her mother,the mother she would never see again,the mother who had died just three weeks before.
I held out the chain.She took it in both her hands and put it on my neck.I whispered,“Oh,Maria,it is so beautiful.She would have loved it.” Neither of us could stop the tears.She ran into my arms.And for that moment I became her mother,for she had given me the greatest gift of all:herself.
29.What was the author probably?
A.A college student.
B.A middle school student.
C.A kind teacher.
D.A famous writer.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。由第一段第二句“I was teaching in a small town in Ohio where my third graders were eagerly waiting for the great day of giving gifts.”可知,作者是一名教师。
30.What did the author prepare for the students?
A.Strings of popcorn. B.Hand-made trinkets.
C.Some nice bells. D.Some little bags.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。由第二段的最后一句“So I made each of my students a little bag for carrying their fried marbles home.”可知作者为学生准备的是little bags。
31.“The day” in Paragraph 3 refers to .?
A.New Year’s Day B.Christmas Day
C.Graduation Day D.Mother’s Day
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。由第一段中的“It was Christmas,1961.”可知,此处的The day指的是圣诞节。
32.Why was the girl not as pleased as other children?
A.Because she couldn’t make anything.
B.Because her family was very poor.
C.Because she thought of her mother who had died.
D.Because she didn’t want to give others any gifts.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。由文章最后两段可知,小女孩送给作者的礼物正是她为自己已死去的妈妈制作的。由此可推出小女孩之所以不开心,是因为圣诞节的到来让她想起了妈妈。
D
/
The most important day Helen Keller remembered in all her life was the one on which her teacher,Anne Sullivan,came to her.It was three months before she was seven years old.
On the afternoon of that day,Helen knew that something was happening.She went outside and waited at the door of the house.She could feel the sun on her face and she could touch the leaves of the plants.Then she felt someone walking towards her.She thought it was her mother and she went to her and held her close.This was the teacher who had come to teach all things to her and,above all,to love her.
The next morning,the teacher took her into her room and gave her a doll.When Helen was playing with it,Miss Sullivan slowly spelled the word “d-o-l-l” onto her hand.Helen learnt a lot of words like this.After the teacher had been with her for several weeks,Helen understood that everything had a name.
One day Helen didn’t understand the difference between “mug” and “water”.She became angry and threw the doll on the floor.In her quiet,dark world she didn’t feel sorry for doing it.Then her teacher took her out into the warm sunshine.They walked down to the well where someone was drawing water.Her teacher put her hand under the water and spelled the word “w-a-t-e-r” at the same time in her other hand.Suddenly,Helen felt an understanding.She knew then that “w-a-t-e-r” was the wonderful cool something flowing over her hand.That living word awakened her spirit,gave it light,hope,fun and set it free!
33.How was the girl different from other children?
A.She didn’t know how to play games.
B.She was angry all the time.
C.She couldn’t speak.
D.She was deaf and blind.
答案:D

A.she went to the well
B.Miss Sullivan spelled them on her hand
C.the teacher gave her a doll
D.she knew the difference between two words
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Miss Sullivan slowly spelled the word ‘d-o-l-l’ onto her hand.Helen learnt a lot of words like this.”可知B项正确。
35.What can the reader learn from the passage?
A.How to spell different words and understand their meanings.
B.The way to feel sorry for doing something wrong.
C.The idea of how to describe things and make them feel real.
D.When someone is drawing water,we should go to feel it.
答案:C

Mo Yan?
Mo Yan was born in February 1955 in Weifang,Shandong Province.What you may not know is that his real name is Guan Moye.Mo Yan is his pen name,which means “no speaking”.
In my opinion,Mo Yan,who began writing in 1981,is one of the most famous writers in China.And he won many kinds of prizes.For example,in 2011 his novel The Frog won the Mao Dun Prize in Literature.Much to our delight,he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in October 2012,which is an honor to our Chinese people.
As a person who likes writing stories,I’m proud of him and wish to be as great a writer as him in the future.

“Earthquake!” The word flashed in my brain.A roaring sound filled my ears.I tried to slide beneath my desk.The desk did a wild tap dance,slipping and sliding towards the centre of the room.I twisted my body and grabbed at the windowsill behind me,somehow kicking free of my dancing chair.I tried to stand.My legs skated away as if on a bucking escalator.
My fingers shook,grasped and held the windowsill tightly.Somewhere through the roar sounded the terrified scream of some wounded animal.I looked behind me and tried to steady my gaze on the other kids but the scene was a dizzy nightmare.Some of the class were sitting in the middle of the room,surrounded by chairs and desks.One girl was screaming.A boy was trying to claw his way across the floor to the door in a crazy overarm crawl.
My grip froze me to the windowsill.
I cried aloud,“I’m going to die.I’m going to die.Save me.I’m not ready to die.I’m not ready!”
I hunched forward on my knees and pressed my face against my clenched fingers.I looked at the backs of my fingers and stupidly noticed the fragile pale hairs growing out of the pores.The fingers would soon cease to exist.Somehow the impending horror of my death was too terrible to even cry about.
Suddenly,I became aware that the rocking had ceased.Perhaps I wasn’t going to die.
25.The roaring sound was made by .?
A.a wounded animal B.people screaming
C.children running D.an earthquake

Now many young people are travelling around the world on their own,not because they have no one to travel with,but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first travelled alone when she was at college and believed that it was something everyone should do at least once in their life.“It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries,with no one to help you read a map,look after you if you get ill,or lend you money if your wallet is stolen,it is challenging.This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go travelling last year.He set up a website,The Aussie Nomad,to document his adventures.He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier.“The people you meet,the places you visit,or the things you do,everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old.
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”,which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”.He said,“The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task.I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said,“Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
29.Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A.Travelling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B.It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C.It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D.Travelling abroad helps people to find new things.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“it was something everyone should do”可知答案为A项。
30.Travelling alone is challenging because .?
A.you have to make things on your own
B.it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C.you depend on yourself whatever happens
D.it will finally build your character
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第三段的第一句话:在国外,没有人帮你看地图,你生病的时候没有人照顾你,你钱包被偷的时候没有人借钱给你,这些都是有挑战性的。因此C项正确。
31.What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A.He started travelling at an early age.
B.He was once shot in the arm.
C.He used to work as a salesman.
D.His website inspired others a lot.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第四段的第一句话可知A项错误;根据第五段的第一句话可知B项错误,文章中用的是比喻,而不是胳膊上真中了一枪;D项文章没有涉及,故C项正确。
32.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Travel Abroad
B.Travel Unaccompanied
C.Travel Light
D.Travel Wide and Far
答案:B
解析:主旨大意题。文章介绍了单独旅行的好处、挑战及感受。根据文章第一段中的“travelling around the world on their own”以及下文多次出现的alone一词可知,B项适合当作文章标题,其中unaccompanied“无人陪伴的”与alone同义。
D
Krakatau Volcano(克拉克托火山)is in a small island in Indonesia.It had been peaceful for about 200 years before it erupted(爆发)in 1883.
The first signs of the activity of the volcano appeared in May 1883,when fire and smoke could be seen at the top of the mountain.Great noise could be heard even in Jakarta a hundred miles away.Later the activity grew much greater.The peak(山顶)was covered with smoke and fire;the smoke at one time was seventeen miles high in the air.The lava—soft and hot rock—shot up into the air and rolled down the sides of the mountain.
The mouth of the volcano was not at the peak of the mountain but on its side,close to the sea.As it grew bigger and bigger with the eruption,the sea water got into it.When the sea water reached the lava inside the volcano,it made the upper part of the lava colder and harder.And this sealed off(封住)the rest of the lava below.As the inside of the lava could not break through the seal,the pressure(压力)built up until the mountain blew up.
The eruption of the volcano was followed by several earthquakes which brought about bad result.About 36,000 people were killed and many towns and villages near the sea were completely destroyed by the great waves which the earthquake caused.
33.Give the correct order of the course of volcano eruption.
①The peak was covered with smoke and fire.
②Fire and smoke could be seen at the top of the mountain.
③Great noise could be heard a hundred miles away.
④The lava shot into the air and rolled down the sides of the mountain.
A.①②③④ B.①③②④
C.②③①④ D.④①③②
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。文章第二段讲述了这个问题。
34.What made the volcano erupt?
A.The sea water which went into the volcano.
B.The lava.
C.The pressure which was bigger and bigger.
D.All of the above.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。火山爆发是A、B、C三项共同作用的结果,并非由其中的一项原因即可爆发。
35.Where is the mouth of the volcano?
A.At the peak of the mountain.
B.On the side of the mountain near the sea.
C.At the foot of the mountain.
D.Inside the mountain.
答案:B
解析:细节考查题。根据文章第三段第一句话“The mouth of the volcano was not at the peak of the mountain but on its side,close to the sea.”来断定答案为B项。
