Once upon a time，the animals decided that they must do something heroic to meet the problems of“a new world”．So they organized a training school．
They adopted an activity curriculum consisting of running，climbing，swimming and flying．To make it easier to manage the curriculum，all the animals took all the subjects．
The duck was excellent in swimming，in fact，better than his instructor，but he made only passing grades in flying and was very poor in running．Since he was slow in running，he had to stay after school and also drop swimming in order to practice running．This was kept up until his webbed(脚蹼) feet were badly worn and he was only average in swimming．But average was acceptable in school，so nobody worried about that except the duck．
The rabbit started at the top of the class in running，but had a nervous breakdown because of so much make-up work in swimming．
The squirrel was excellent in climbing until he developed frustration in the flying class where his teacher made him start from the ground up instead of from the treetop down．He also developed a“charlie horse”and then got a C in climbing and a D in running．
The eagle was a problem child and was disciplined severely．In the climbing class he beat all the others to the top of the tree，but insisted on using his own way to get there．
At the end of the year，an abnormal eel that could swim very well，and also run，climb and fly a little，had the highest average and was the one who gave a good-bye speech．
The prairie dogs stayed out of the school because the administration would not add digging to the curriculum．

A．he only passed in flying

2．B。像是有人(someone)制作的泥球。这里的语境不可能是“任何人、每一个人”之意；而no one的意思和语境不符。
3．C。句中bake的意思是“烤，烘”，联系这个意思可知应该是放在阳光(sun)下。其他选项的意思是：light光线；shade阴影；sand沙子。
4．A。它们看上去没有什么，但是却引起了这个人的兴趣，这个意思和语境相符。很明显，文章中不是“打扰、使失望或使满意”之意。
5．B。根据文章的首句可知，他是在沿着沙滩(beach)走。
6．D。前面提到他往海里扔泥球，由此可知，他是尽可能地扔很远(far)。联系文义，当然不是指“长、深或高”的意思。
7．C。他几乎什么也没考虑，直到(until)其中的一个在岩石上摔破了。这里的时间不是指“之前、之后或同时”之意。
8．A。文中多次提到treasure等相关信息，所以此处指“贵重的宝石”。很明显，选项中special和common的意思在这里不合适，而语境中也不是强调价格，故D项的意思也不对。
9．D。看到泥球里面的宝石，他当然是很兴奋(Excited)。Surprised吃惊的；Puzzled疑惑不解的；Worried担心的。
10．C。联系上一段落中的he dropped one of the clay balls and it cracked open on a rock，可知泥球里包含有(contained)宝石。根据语境可知，这里不是“覆盖、埋藏或跟随”之意。
11．B。根据上文中的the remaining clay balls等信息，可知这里指他剩下的(left)泥球。其他选项的意思是：invented发明；accepted接受；kept保存。
12．A。后来他受到很大的打击(struck)。因为他扔掉了大多数泥球。很明显，语境中不是“改变、提醒或借用”之意。
13．D。不是(Instead of)数千美元的珠宝，而是会有数万的珠宝带回家。Except for除了；According to根据；Judging from由……判断。

15．B。根据下文中的someone等信息可知，这里说的是“人们也像这个样子”。联系文义，此处当然不是指“生活、工作或学习”。

19．B。结合上文中的But we have not taken the time to find the treasure hidden inside that person．等信息可知，此处指藏在人们内心的宝藏(treasure)。present礼物；habit习惯；history历史。
20．A。如果我们花费时间去了解那个人，泥土就会开始脱掉(come off)。联系文义，此处没有“擦干、移动或屈服”之意。
三、阅读理解
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了动物培训学校所发生的有趣的故事。
1．B。细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句Since he was slow in running，he had to stay after school and also drop swimming in order to practice running可知，尽管鸭子游泳很优秀，但是飞行考了个及格。放学后他被扣留的原因是他跑得非常慢。故选B。
2．A。推理判断题。文章第七段信息表明在所有课程上，鳗鱼的平均成绩是最优秀的。故选A。
3．C。推理判断题。根据文章第六段，特别是最后一句but insisted on using his own way to get there可知，他虽然成为爬上树顶最快的动物，但是坚持用自己的方法，导致被严厉地批评。从而推测他没有按照老师的方法去做。故选C。
4．D。细节理解题。由文章最后一段可知，digging(挖掘)没有在这所学校开设。故选D。
四、语法填空
（1）
1. written。Odyssey (《奥德赛》)与动词write是被动关系，所以填过去分词作定语。
2. his。他拒绝希腊国王的生活，许诺帮助另一个希腊领导人Menelaus得回“他的his”妻子。
3. dragged。根据故事可知，drag用一般过去时。注意双写g加-ed。
4. changeable。根据前面的were可知，要用change的形容词changeable（多变化的）。
5. who。句意：……没有人能预测“谁”会赢得战争，所以填who。
6.when。引导时间状语从句。
7. an。an opportunity 一个机会。
8.were discouraged。be discouraged 感到泄气，在故事中用一般过去时。
9 for。bless…for 因为……而感谢某人。
10. announcing。the warning bell与动词announce是主动关系，用-ing形式作定语。
（2）

3.the。the first 第一。序数词前要用定冠词the。
4. until。句意：我知道她会深睡12小时，直到有毒物质不再有害。
5. again。从The room was still. I looked around.可知，此空填again，表示“又环视了四周”。
6. to。give birth to生（孩子）。
7. How。感叹句型：How+形容词+主语+谓语。句意：我那时多高兴呀。
8. healthy。与形容词bright和nice一起修饰名词child，用health的形容词healthy。
9. taking。与前面的are一起构成现在进行时。
10. seriously。修饰形容词wrong用副词，所以填seriously。
五、书面表达
Dear Manager,
I am writing to complain about the quality of one of your products. Last Saturday, with the recommendation of your salesperson, I bought a cellphone from your shop. After using the cellphone for two days, I found there was something wrong with it.
First, the cellphone could not send text messages sometimes, which has caused me a lot of trouble. Second, its camera failed to work from time to time. I have been to your shop to explain the problems twice. But it seemed that no one wanted to respond to my complaint. So I am writing to tell you directly in the hope that you will do something to solve this problem. I would appreciate it if you could either give me a refund or send me a replacement.
I look forward to an early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

三、阅读理解
阅读短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳答案。
Once upon a time，the animals decided that they must do something heroic to meet the problems of“a new world”．So they organized a training school．
They adopted an activity curriculum consisting of running，climbing，swimming and flying．To make it easier to manage the curriculum，all the animals took all the subjects．
The duck was excellent in swimming，in fact，better than his instructor，but he made only passing grades in flying and was very poor in running．Since he was slow in running，he had to stay after school and also drop swimming in order to practice running．This was kept up until his webbed(脚蹼) feet were badly worn and he was only average in swimming．But average was acceptable in school，so nobody worried about that except the duck．
The rabbit started at the top of the class in running，but had a nervous breakdown because of so much make-up work in swimming．
The squirrel was excellent in climbing until he developed frustration in the flying class where his teacher made him start from the ground up instead of from the treetop down．He also developed a“charlie horse”and then got a C in climbing and a D in running．
The eagle was a problem child and was disciplined severely．In the climbing class he beat all the others to the top of the tree，but insisted on using his own way to get there．
At the end of the year，an abnormal eel that could swim very well，and also run，climb and fly a little，had the highest average and was the one who gave a good-bye speech．
The prairie dogs stayed out of the school because the administration would not add digging to the curriculum．
1．Why was the duck kept after school according to the passage? Because ________．
A．he only passed in flying
B．he ran very slowly
C．he wasn’t good at swimming
D．he had to practice climbing
2．We can learn from the passage that ________．
A．an abnormal eel’s average score is the highest in all subjects
B．the squirrel met frustration before practicing climbing

五、书面表达
假如你是李华。上周六你在一家商店里新买的手机出现了问题：有时发不出去短信，有时摄像功能不能正常运行。你已经去了店里两次，但问题仍然没有得到解决，所以你决定给该店的经理写一封投诉信。
答案与解析
一、单项选择
1. A。因为顾客投诉，先表示抱歉，所以选A。No way. 决不；No problem. 没问题。
2. C。be annoyed at sth表示“生气的，恼火的”，句意是“他在办公室老是盯着我看，我对此很是生气”。
3. D。be about to do 正要做某事；by road 由公路；when 此句中表示“这时突然”，不能用
while代替，while引导的从句中的谓语一般是延续性动词。
4. C。从对话理解可知，第一个人不能去看鲸鱼，所以选C，答话人表示遗憾。What a pity! 用于表示遗憾；You must be kidding. 你在开玩笑吧；What a surprise! 用于表示惊讶。
5. D。句意：当战争开始时，犹太人不得不逃离这个国家。flee 逃离，逃出；yell 喊叫；scan 审视，浏览；set 放置，调整。
6. A。句意：暴风雨来临之前，池塘里的鱼儿通常要跃出水面呼吸新鲜空气。throw themselves out of the water跃出水面。
7. D。pure意为“完全的，纯粹的”，by pure chance常用作习惯搭配，意为“纯属偶然”。句意：我们并没有计划在聚会上碰面，事实上，我们在那里碰面纯属偶然。true真实的；real真的；sure肯定的
8. D。be aware of 意为“意识到”，修饰形容词aware要用well/ fully等副词，而不用very。
9. B。句意：导游做了如此生动的描述，所有游客都感觉身临其境。elegant 文雅的；vivid 生动的；standard 标准的；qualified 有资格的。
10. B。句意：我市去年见证了245天蓝天，仅仅比年度目标245天多一天。hardly 几乎不；narrowly 勉强地；formally 正式地；scarcely 罕见地。
11. B。第一空：谈及上文提过或说话人和听话人都知道的事物时，加定冠词the表示特指。第二空：dolphin（海豚）是可数名词，用不定冠词a表示一类中的一只，表示泛指。
12. A。bring in 带进来，收获；bring up 养大；turn to 转向；turn down 减少，关小，拒绝。句意：他们开始使用英语，但是也把自己语言中的一些词汇带到（英语）中。
13. A。句意：现在，孩子的创造力剧增，因为我们都非常鼓励他们发展自己的天赋。a sharp increase in... 在某方面急剧增加。slight 极小的；natural 自然的；modest 谦虚的。
14. C。mind意为“介意”, 后面接-ing形式； hate后可以接-ing形式或to do两种形式，-ing形式表示长期的爱好，而不定式多指具体的某一次。
15. A。close to中的to为介词，后接动词-ing形式作宾语。be connected with可理解为“与……接轨”。
二、完形填空
1．D。他在一个洞穴里发现了(found)一个帆布袋子。
2．B。像是有人(someone)制作的泥球。这里的语境不可能是“任何人、每一个人”之意；而no one的意思和语境不符。
3．C。句中bake的意思是“烤，烘”，联系这个意思可知应该是放在阳光(sun)下。其他选项的意思是：light光线；shade阴影；sand沙子。
4．A。它们看上去没有什么，但是却引起了这个人的兴趣，这个意思和语境相符。很明显，文章中不是“打扰、使失望或使满意”之意。

7．C。他几乎什么也没考虑，直到(until)其中的一个在岩石上摔破了。这里的时间不是指“之前、之后或同时”之意。
8．A。文中多次提到treasure等相关信息，所以此处指“贵重的宝石”。很明显，选项中special和common的意思在这里不合适，而语境中也不是强调价格，故D项的意思也不对。
9．D。看到泥球里面的宝石，他当然是很兴奋(Excited)。Surprised吃惊的；Puzzled疑惑不解的；Worried担心的。
10．C。联系上一段落中的he dropped one of the clay balls and it cracked open on a rock，可知泥球里包含有(contained)宝石。根据语境可知，这里不是“覆盖、埋藏或跟随”之意。
11．B。根据上文中的the remaining clay balls等信息，可知这里指他剩下的(left)泥球。其他选项的意思是：invented发明；accepted接受；kept保存。
12．A。后来他受到很大的打击(struck)。因为他扔掉了大多数泥球。很明显，语境中不是“改变、提醒或借用”之意。
13．D。不是(Instead of)数千美元的珠宝，而是会有数万的珠宝带回家。Except for除了；According to根据；Judging from由……判断。

19．B。结合上文中的But we have not taken the time to find the treasure hidden inside that person．等信息可知，此处指藏在人们内心的宝藏(treasure)。present礼物；habit习惯；history历史。
20．A。如果我们花费时间去了解那个人，泥土就会开始脱掉(come off)。联系文义，此处没有“擦干、移动或屈服”之意。
三、阅读理解
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了动物培训学校所发生的有趣的故事。
1．B。细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句Since he was slow in running，he had to stay after school and also drop swimming in order to practice running可知，尽管鸭子游泳很优秀，但是飞行考了个及格。放学后他被扣留的原因是他跑得非常慢。故选B。
2．A。推理判断题。文章第七段信息表明在所有课程上，鳗鱼的平均成绩是最优秀的。故选A。
3．C。推理判断题。根据文章第六段，特别是最后一句but insisted on using his own way to get there可知，他虽然成为爬上树顶最快的动物，但是坚持用自己的方法，导致被严厉地批评。从而推测他没有按照老师的方法去做。故选C。
4．D。细节理解题。由文章最后一段可知，digging(挖掘)没有在这所学校开设。故选D。
四、语法填空
（1）
1. written。Odyssey (《奥德赛》)与动词write是被动关系，所以填过去分词作定语。
2. his。他拒绝希腊国王的生活，许诺帮助另一个希腊领导人Menelaus得回“他的his”妻子。
3. dragged。根据故事可知，drag用一般过去时。注意双写g加-ed。
4. changeable。根据前面的were可知，要用change的形容词changeable（多变化的）。
5. who。句意：……没有人能预测“谁”会赢得战争，所以填who。
6.when。引导时间状语从句。
7. an。an opportunity 一个机会。
8.were discouraged。be discouraged 感到泄气，在故事中用一般过去时。
9 for。bless…for 因为……而感谢某人。
10. announcing。the warning bell与动词announce是主动关系，用-ing形式作定语。
（2）
1. myself。by myself 独自地。
2. lay。因为是过去发生的事，用lie的一般过去时lay。
3.the。the first 第一。序数词前要用定冠词the。
4. until。句意：我知道她会深睡12小时，直到有毒物质不再有害。
5. again。从The room was still. I looked around.可知，此空填again，表示“又环视了四周”。
6. to。give birth to生（孩子）。
7. How。感叹句型：How+形容词+主语+谓语。句意：我那时多高兴呀。
8. healthy。与形容词bright和nice一起修饰名词child，用health的形容词healthy。
9. taking。与前面的are一起构成现在进行时。
10. seriously。修饰形容词wrong用副词，所以填seriously。
五、书面表达
Dear Manager,
I am writing to complain about the quality of one of your products. Last Saturday, with the recommendation of your salesperson, I bought a cellphone from your shop. After using the cellphone for two days, I found there was something wrong with it.
First, the cellphone could not send text messages sometimes, which has caused me a lot of trouble. Second, its camera failed to work from time to time. I have been to your shop to explain the problems twice. But it seemed that no one wanted to respond to my complaint. So I am writing to tell you directly in the hope that you will do something to solve this problem. I would appreciate it if you could either give me a refund or send me a replacement.
I look forward to an early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
