二、完型填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分）
Granny
Sarya
lived
outside
Moscow.
Her
only
son
1
to
Afghanistan(阿富汗)
and
was
killed
in
action
there.
Soon
after
that,
her
husband
lost
his
job.
The
old
man
was
always
2
food
and
clothes.
And
on
a
winter
night
he
went
out
alone
when
Sarya
was
asleep.
The
next
morning
he
was
3
dead
in
a
cold
lake.
And
his
worn-out
coat
was
4
in
a
tree
not
far
away.
Sarya
was
so
5
that
she
nearly
took
her
own
life.
　　Things
got
worse
and
worse
after
that.
She
always
lived
in
hunger
and
cold.
She
had
hoped
that
the
government(政府)
could
help
her
but
she
6
.
It
was
a
cold
windy
night.
The
old
woman
couldn't
7
asleep
at
all.
She
had
to
get
up.
She
decided
to
write
a
letter
to
God(神),
asking
for
8
.
She
wished
God
to
give
her
100
rubles
(卢布),
so
she
could
buy
some
food
for
herself.
When
she
9
writing
it,
she
found
she
had
no
10
.
She
had
to
put
the
11
at
a
crossing.
12
the
next
morning
a
policeman
found
the
letter.
He
read
it
to
his
comrades.
They
were
all
so
13
that
they
gathered
some
rubles
and
sent
them
to
the
poor
old
woman.
　　At
first
Granny
Sarya
was
happy.
But
after
she
14
the
money,
she
became
15
and
said,
“I'm
told

all
things
that
are
touched
by
the

will
be
only
a
half
left!”

三、阅读理解

A
“Life
is
speeding
up.
Everyone
is
becoming
unwell.”
This
may
sound
like
something
someone
would
say
today.
But
in
fact,
an
unwell
person
who
lived
in
Rome
in
AD
53
wrote
it.
We
all
love
new
inventions.
They
are
exciting,
amazing
and
can
even
change
our
lives.

But
have
all
these
developments
really
improved
the
quality
of
our
lives
Picture
this:
You’re
rushing
to
finish
your
homework
on
the
computer.
Your
mobile
phone
rings,
a
QQ
message
from
your
friend
appears
on
the
screen,
the
noise
from
the
telephone
is
getting
louder
and
louder.
Suddenly
the
computer
goes
blank
and
you
lose
all
your
work.
Now
you
have
to
stay
up
all
night
to
get
it
done.

Inventions
have
speeded
up
our
lives
so
much
that
they
often
leave
us
feeling
stressed
and
tired.
Why
do
you
think
people
who
live
far
away
from
noisy
cities,
who
have
no
telephones,
no
cars,
not
even
any
electricity
often
seem
to
be
happier
Perhaps
that
is
because
they
live
simpler
lives.

One
family
in
the
UK
went
“back
in
time”
to
see
what
life
was
like
without
all
the
inventions
we
have
today.
The
grandparents,
with
their
daughter,
and
grandsons,
Benjamin,
10,
and
Thomas,
7,
spent
nine
weeks
in
a
1940s
house.
They
had
no
washing
machine,
microwave,
computer
or
mobile
phone.

The
grandmother,
Lyn,
said,
“The
more
things
you
have,
the
more
difficult
life
becomes.”
The
boys
said
they
fought
less.
Probably,
they
said,
because
there
was
less
to
fight
over,
such
as
their
computer.
Benjamin
also
noticed
that
his
grandmother
had
changed
from
being
a
trendy,
been-drinking
granny,
to
one
who
cooked
things.
31.
The
writer
uses
the
quote(引语)
at
the
beginning
of
the
story
to______.
A.
tell
us
the
truth
about
life
B.
tell
us
what
life
was
like
a
long
time
ago
C.
point
out
what
causes
such
a
thing
to
happen
D.
point
out
that
you
experience
some
big
problems
and
they
may
be
the
same
32.
In
the
passage
the
writer
describes
a
picture
to
show
that
new
inventions
_____.
A.
have
stopped
our
lives
B.
have
improved
the
quality
of
our
lives
C.
may
make
people
feel
very
happy
D.
may
bring
some
people
trouble
33.
The
family
chose
to
spend
some
time
in
a
1940s
house
because______.
A.
they
loved
to
live
simple
lives
B.
they
wanted
to
know
how
people
lived
without
modern
inventions
C.
they
were
troubled
by
modern
inventions
D.
living
in
a
different
time
would
be
a
lot
of
fun
for
them
34.
The
passage
is
mainly
about
______.
A.
problems
with
technology
B.
improvements
in
our
lives
caused
by
technology
C.
changes
happening
to
technology
D.
the
importance
of
technology











B
About
ten
men
in
every
hundred
have
the
trouble
of
color
blindness
in
some
way.
Women
are
luckier,
only
about
one
in
two
hundred
is
affected(感染)
in
this
matter.
Perhaps,
after
all,
it
is
safer
to
be
driven
by
a
woman.
There
are
different
kinds
of
color
blindness.
For
example,
a
man
cannot
see
deep
red.
He
may
think
that
red,
orange
and
yellow
are
all
shades(阴影)
of
green.
Sometimes
a
person
can’t
tell
the
difference
between
blue
and
green.
Only
a
few
unlucky
men
may
see
everything
in
shades
of
green—a
strange
world
indeed.
Color
blindness
in
human
beings
is
a
difficult
thing
to
explain.
In
only
one
eye
there
are
millions
of
very
small
things
called
“cones(圆锥体)”.
These
help
us
to
see
in
the
bright
light
and
to
tell
differences
between
colors.
There
are
also
millions
of
“rods(柱状体)”,
but
these
are
used
for
seeing
when
it
is
nearly
dark.
They
show
us
shapes
but
not
colors.
Some
insects
have
favorite
colors.
Mosquitoes(蚊子)
like
blue
but
do
not
like
yellow.
A
red
light
will
not
attract
insects,
but
a
blue
light
will.
Human
beings
also
have
favorite
colors.
Yet
we
are
lucky.
With
the
help
of
the
cones
in
our
eyes,
we
can
see
many
beautiful
colors
by
day,
and
with
the
help
of
the
rods
we
can
see
shapes
at
night.
35.
“Color
blindness”
means
“______”
in
Chinese.


A.
盲目

B.
无色


C.
色盲


D.
讨厌颜色
36.
Some
people
say
it’s
safer
to
be
driven
by
women
because
______.
A.
women
drive
more
carefully









B.
women
are
better
at
driving
than
men
C.
women
can
see
things
more
clearly




D.
there
are
fewer
color-blind
women
37.
With
the
help
of
the
“cones”,
we
can
______.

A.
tell
different
shapes


B.
kill
insects

C.
see
in
the
dark



D.
tell
orange
from
yellow

show

at

Probably
no
other
musical
instrument
is
as
popular
as
the
guitar
around
the
world.
Musicians
use
the
guitar
for
almost
all
kinds
of
music.
Country
and
western
music
would
not
be
the
same
without
a
guitar.
The
traditional
Spanish
folk
music
called
Flamenco
could
not
exist
without
a
guitar.
The
sound
of
American
blues
music
would
not
be
the
same
without
the
sad
cry
of
the
guitar.
And
rock
and
roll
music
would
almost
be
impossible
without
this
instrument.
Music
experts
do
not
agree
about
where
the
guitar
was
first
played.
Most
agree
it
is
ancient.
Some
experts
say
an
instrument
very
much
like
a
guitar
was
played
in
Egypt
more
than
1，000
years
ago.
Most
experts
say
that
the
ancestor
of
the
modern
guitar
was
brought
to
Spain
from
Persia
sometime
in
the
12th
century.
The
guitar
continued
to
develop
in
Spain.
In
the
1700s
it
became
similar
to
the
instrument
we
know
today.
Many
famous
musicians
played
the
instrument.
The
famous
Italian
violins
Niccole
Paganism
played
and
wrote
music
for
the
guitar
in
the
early
1800s.Franz
Schubert
used
the
guitar
to
write
some
of
his
famous
works.
In
modern
times
Spanish
guitarist
Andres
Segovia
helped
make
the
instrument
extremely
popular.
In
the
1930s，Les
Paul
began
experimenting
to
make
an
electric
guitar.
He
invented
the
solid-bodied
electric
guitar
in
1946.The
Gibson
Guitar
Company
began
producing
its
famous
Les
Paul
Guitar
in
1952.
It
became
a
powerful
influence
on
popular
music.
The
instrument
has
the
same
shape
and
the
same
six
strings（弦）as
the
traditional
guitar，but
it
sounds
very
different.
Les
Paul
produced
a
series
of
extremely
popular
recordings
that
introduced
the
public
to
this
music.
Listen
to
this
Les
Paul
recording.
It
was
the
fifth
most
popular
song
in
the
United
States
in
1952.It
is
called
“Meet
Mister
Callaghan.”
39.What
can
we
infer
from
the
first
paragraph？
A.
The
guitar
plays
a
very
important
role
in
music.
B.
The
choice
of
musical
instrument
is
important
for
a
band.
C.
The
guitar
was
the
most
popular
musical
instrument
in
the
past.
D.
Every
musician
likes
playing
music
instrument
with
the
guitar.

四、阅读填词（每空一词，10分）
There
are
some
very
good
things
about
open
education.
This
way
of
teaching
allows
the
students
to
develop
their
interests
in
many
subjects.
Open
education
asks
students
to
be
responsible
for
their
own
education.
The
open
classroom
may
help
them
to
enjoy
learning.
Some
students
will
be
happier
in
an
open
education
school.
They
will
not
have
to
worry
about
grades
or
rules.
But
many
students
may
not
do
well
in
an
open
classroom.
For
some
students,
if
there
are
too
few
rules,
they
will
do
little
in
school.
They
will
not
make
good
use
of
open
education.
Because
open
education
is
so
different
from
traditional
education,
these
students
may
have
a
problem
of
getting
used
to
making
so
many
choices.
For
many
students
it
is
important
to
have
some
rules
in
the
classroom.
A
few
rules
will
help
them.
The
last
point
about
open
education
is
that
some
traditional
teachers
do
not
like
it.
Many
teachers
do
not
believe
in
open
education.
You
now
know
what
open
education
is.
Some
of
its
good
points
and
bad
points
have
been
explained.
You
may
have
your
own
opinion
about
open
education.
The
writer
thinks
that
open
education
is
only
a
good
idea.
It
may
not
work
very
well
in
a
real
class
or
school.
The
writer
believes
that
most
students,
but
of
course
not
all
students,
want
and
need
to
have
some
rules.
They
must
be
made
to
study
some
subjects.
Many
students
are
pleased
to

many
students
don’t
need

open
