About Beauty 有关美
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 情人眼里出西施。
Beauty refers to something or somebody that makes people feel happy and comfortable. It consists of inner beauty（内心美） and physical beauty（外表美）, including beauty of nature, beauty of language, beauty of behavior（行为）, and beauty of soul（心灵）.
Beauty is the qualities that give pleasure to the senses（感官）.
There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit（追求）so interesting. ---John Kenneth Galbraith
Proverbs about beauty 有关美的谚语
A good fame is better than a good face. 美名胜过美貌。
Beauty is but skin-deep. 美丽只是外表罢了。
Virtue is fairer far than beauty. 美德远胜于美貌。
Beauty and folly are often companions. 美貌和愚蠢常结伴。
Inner beauty 内在美
1. Inner beauty, or personal qualities, is more difficult to determine. Because inner beauty depends on people’s personalities（个性）and qualities（品质）, such as, kindness, warmth, a healthy conscience（良心）. Besides, judging inner beauty is much more subjective（主观的）since people’s view on beauty is not exactly the same.
2. Examples show one’s “healthy conscience”：
Offering your seat to the elderly on the bus
Trying to save other’s lives when they are in danger
3. Inner beauty is much more important than physical beauty.
4. We should improve our inner beauty, and outward appearance as well.
5. Even at a job interview, the employer may attach more importance to one’s qualities, such as sincerity（诚意）, creativity（创造力）and communication skills（交际能力）than to one’s appearance.
6. We should never judge people by their appearance, otherwise we may easily be cheated.

诗歌的基本要素
押韵（rhyme）
押韵是指一个音节的读音在以后音节(syllable)读音中的重复，或是一个单词的最后一个音节或几个音节的读音在以后音节相应位置的读音重复。有许多押韵的形式：如例①，每两行押韵，是AA，BB式。在例②中，第一、三行押韵，第二、四行押韵，这是AB，AB式。例③中，第二、四行押韵，是ABCB式。
① I saw a fish-pond all on fire, (A)
I saw a house bow to a squire, (A)
I saw a person twelve-feet high, (B)
I saw a cottage in the sky. (B)
② I saw a fish-pond all on fire, (A)
I saw a person twelve-feet high, (B)
I saw a house bow to a squire, (A)
I saw a cottage in the sky. (B)
③ I’ve saved the summer (A)
And I give it all to you (B)
To hold on winter mornings (C)
When the snow is new. (B)
注释：pond 池塘 bow 鞠躬 squire 地主，乡绅 cottage 小屋，村舍
节奏（Rhythm）
英语诗的节奏简单来说是指诗行中的节拍（beat），一般一个重读音节（stressed syllable）后紧跟着一个非重读音节，这样读时声音就会响亮然后柔和。诗人使用重复和声音模式（如押韵）来制造节奏，根据诗行中的音节和重读节奏来计算韵律。
声音模式（Sound patterns）
除了押韵，诗人还用其他的声音模式，如：头韵（alliteration）。头韵是指重复同一个辅音（consonant），例如：slippery，slimy，snails; drying, drooping, dreading。头韵可以产生各种各样的感觉、情绪和活动。
意象（Image）
An image is a picture in the reader’s mind aroused by the words in the poem. 意象是诗歌中文字所唤起的在读者脑海中形成的图画。
An image is able to create visual beauty and express the poet’s feelings. 意象能够产生视觉美，表达诗人的情感。
Withered vines, olden trees, evening crows;
Tiny bridge, flowing brook, hamlet homes;
Ancient road, wind from west, bony horse;
The sun is setting,
Broken man, far from home, roams and roams.
（这是马致远的《秋思》，诗人通过环境描写，烘托了悲伤、凄凉的情感）
An image is made by means of descriptions. e.g. adjectives, comparisons. 意象由描写产生，如形容词、比喻等。
His cute little mouth,
turned up like a bow
词序 Word order
为了更好地表达诗歌的情感，使描绘更生动，更形象，诗歌经常用倒装语序，或省略的手段。如：
1）...in homesickness I am drowned. →
...I am drowned in homesickness.
2）Down came stout Santa →
Stout Santa came down in a single bound.

Hollywood film Avatar has been on show on the Chinese mainland. It broke the record set by Titanic；that is to say，it has surpassed Titanic to become the highest box-office film. The film took more than five years to make and was reportedly one of the most expensive films. It has won a Golden Globe. Apart from this，it has got nine Oscar nominations. The film is set in 2154 and tells a story of a disabled soldier, who is sent to Pandora to persuade the inhabitants to let his mates mine their homeland for natural resources．In my opinion，this is one of the most successful films. From it，I learn that different races should respect each other and work together instead of being at war.

《让子弹飞》(Let the Bullets Fly)
导演
姜文(也在影片中担任重要角色)
主演
周润发、葛优、刘嘉玲等

评价
正面
没有让观众失望，是最好的娱乐电影之一；故事情节引人注目(striking plot)，台词(lines)诙谐，幽默；是一部经典之作，值得一看，“姜粉”们排队购票
反面
有一些人抱怨电影情节不好懂；影片枯燥，充满暴力
参考范文：
Recently I went to the cinema to see a film named Let the Bullets Fly. I think the film doesn’t let the audience down and of course it’s one of the most Chinese entertaining movies this year. The film, directed by Jiang Wen who also plays the role in the film, is set in the western part of Sichuan in the 1930s or 1940s. Many famous performers, including Hong Kong star Chow Yun-Fat and local favorite Ge You, gather together to make the film and they give an amazing performance in the film. While seeing the film, I’m impressed by its striking plot and smart dialogues as well as humorous lines.
However, some people complain that it is hard to understand the plot of the film, and some even think the film is dull and full of violence.
Personally, the film is well worth seeing and it is a real hit/masterpiece. Especially some of Jiang’s fans prefer to queue up to buy tickets for the film.

参考范文：
Finding Nemo, directed by Andrew Stanton, is set off the Australian coast in the Great Barrier Reef.
Marlin is a clownish fish and he is a single parent. He has a son named Nemo, who is a naughty fish. The other character is Dory, who becomes a friend of Marlin’s.

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。
The government of Norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the Arctic Ocean. The place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. The goal is to represent all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect the world’s food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the northernmost position on Earth.
An international group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Carp Fowler, spoke to New Scientist. He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if, in his words, “the worst came to the worst.” Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three million dollars. Workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above zero degrees Celsius. The seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high-security doors.
The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below zero Celsius. The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.
Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the world’s most secure gene bank. He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason. Norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. But security concerns delayed the plan. At that time, the Soviet Union was permitted use of Spitsbergen. New Scientist says the plan won United Nations approval in October at a meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization.
1. The project is meant to ________.
A. increase the world’s food production in the future
B. carry out some scientific experiments on plant genes
C. protect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible disasters
D. build an exhibition centre of the world’s plant seeds
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The government of Norway will perform the project alone.
B. Seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousand years ago.
C. Spitsbergen is chosen because it is away from the threat of nuclear war forever.
D. Temperature is a major consideration when choosing the storage place.
3. We can infer from the text that ________.
A. People will get newly-developed seeds from the center every year
B. The storage center will greatly promote the development of world agriculture
C. Norway meant to have built the storage center more than 20 years ago
D. There haven’t been any seed storage centers in the world before
4. What is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Noah’s Ark (诺亚方舟) of Plant Seeds in Plan
B. The Best Place to Store Seeds
C. Concerns of World Food Supply
D. A New Way to Feed the World
四、语法填空

He told me he would be leaving the island and added, “I just want to wish you people good luck.” I do not know 3 I looked shocked, but I was sure that I was amazed then. He spoke these words like a human being and showed a side of himself we had never seen before. I thanked him 4 his good wishes and wished him luck in his future life.
I thought about this moment for a long time afterwards. Badenhorst had perhaps been 5 most cold-blooded and rudest commanding officer we had had on Robben Island. But that day in the office, I realized that there was another side to his nature, a side that we seldom saw 6 still existed.
7 reminded us that all men, even the most seemingly cold-blooded person, have good nature in them and that, with their hearts 8 (touch), they can change. After all, Badenhorst was not evil. He had been given a bad name because 9 misunderstanding. So, don’t judge some so-called cold-blooded person before you figure out whether he is bad by nature 10 just bad by name.

答案与解析
一、单项选择
1. B。“交通不方便”是“缺点”，所以根据句意选B，排除A。drawback 劣势，缺点；advantage表示“优势”；shortcoming 表示“缺点，短处”时，常用复数，一般指个人能力；fault 过错。
2. A。句意：作为一个好老师，他应该允许他的学生表达与他不同的看法。convey“表达，传达”，符合题意。display展示，展览； consult请教，咨询；confront勇敢面对，遭遇。
3. A。句意：----罗斯在哭泣。----她确实在哭。你看生活有喜有悲嘛。is made up of 由……组成的；consist of 不用被动语态。consist in 存在于；make up 弥补，编造。
4. C。句意：这些年轻的学生对这个令人兴奋的经历感到兴奋。thrilled常用来修饰人，而thrilling常用来修饰物。
5. B。句意：只抱怨而不采取行动是没有用的。It’s no use doing sth.为固定句型，it为形式主语，动名词短语为真正的主语，加之此处表示主动的动作，所以B项符合题意。
6. C。考查非谓语动词作状语。句子主语Andy与offer之间是动宾关系，所以用过去分词作状语。故选C。
7. A。available有空的，可会见的，可用的，可买到的;be accessible to易接近的。
8. C。句意：这对表兄弟年龄相仿，但在其他方面，他们却有着天壤之别。otherwise表示“在其他方面；除此以外”。as different as day and night表示“黑白分明(天壤之别)”。
9. C。mind后接动词-ing形式作宾语，排除A、B；share sth. with sb. 与某人分享。
10. B。考查倒装句。句意：“我的教师职位的申请已经得到回复了”。“我的也是”。上句的主语是My application，答句中应是mine而非I。“so＋助动词＋主语”表示前一种情况也适用于后者。
11. A。base ...on/upon ...意为“以……为基础”，句中script与base之间为被动关系，用过去分词作后置定语。
12. D。考查词组辨析。句意：说实话，虽然工作本身很有趣，但报酬不是很吸引人。generally speaking表示“一般说来”； on the contrary 表示“相反”；in particular表示“特别，尤其”；to be honest表示“说实话”。由此我们不难判断选D项。
13．B。句意：就在我们房子前面有一棵具有1000年历史的大树。介词短语in front of our house位于句首，且主语是名词短语a tall tree，句子要全部倒装。

四、语法填空
（1）
“冷血残忍”的指挥官Badenhorst亲切的祝福让作者倍感意外，同时也让作者开始思考人性的复杂。
1. complaint(s)。此处用所给单词的名词形式，在句中作宾语。
2. spoke。本文所述故事发生在过去，故用一般过去时。
3. if/whether。根据句子结构和句意可知，此处需用连词if或whether引导一个宾语从句。
4. for。此处用介词for表示原因或理由，是thank sb. for sth.的固定搭配。
5. the。本空的后面是一个含有最高级的结构。根据语法规则，形容词的最高级前面应用定冠词修饰。
6. but。根据句子意思可知，本空前后两个部分在逻辑上具有转折关系，故填连词but。
7. It。此处用代词it代指前面所陈述的那件事情。
8. touched。此处用动词的过去分词形式，构成with+sth.+v-ed独立主格结构，因为“心”是被“触动”的。
9. of。此处是because of的固定表达，意为”因为……”，后接名词或”触动”的。
10. or。根据句意可知，此处是whether… or…句型结构。句子大意：所以，当你在弄清他人是本性上的坏还是仅仅名声上的坏之前，不要去评判某个所谓的冷血的人。
（2）
原来被认为是浪费时间的白日梦，有人认为是健康的，有人认为是重要的，有人认为有助于他们的成功。
1. was considered。it指代daydreaming，与consider是被动关系，而且从上句时态可知用一般过去时。
2. healthy。修饰名词thing，需要用形容词，所以用healthy。
3. is。要填的动词的主语是Daydreaming，所以用单数；因为说的是一般情况，用一般现在时。
4. beyond。从下文可知，接下去又说了白日梦的益处，所以此空填beyond，表示“超出”。
5. surprising。修饰conclusions，表示事物的性质，用surprising，表示“令人吃惊的”。
6. also。上句说daydreaming有助于智力的增长，此句应为“也”提高注意力的集中，所以填also。
7. concentration。improves后接名词作宾语。
8. himself。pictured himself as an inventor 把自己想象成为发明家。
9. that。it appears that…似乎，好像。
10. vividly。vividly 意为“生动地，强烈地，逼真地”，修饰picture。句意：如果你把自己逼真地描述成失败的，仅凭这一点，就会使胜利变得不可能了。
五、书面表达
Based on the novel by British author, C. S. Lewis, Narnia is Disney’s another attempt to cash in, which has proved a great success. The story is set in the war-torn England in World War Ⅱ．It deals with the adventures of four children (Peter, Susan. Edmund and Lucy), who are sent to the estate of an elderly professor since London was getting too dangerous due to the German air raids. During a game of hide and seek they find a big old wardrobe full of coats and as they move towards the back of the wardrobe they stumble into snowy bushes. They are in Narnia, a magical realm where animals talk and all sorts of amazing creatures live. It is here that they meet their friends and join in the battle. Narnia is in the icy grasp of a never-ending winter, rule of the ice witch Jadis. There is an old legend in Narnia the four humans will team up with the old king of the animals Aslan and defeat the evil witch. Eventually, they make that legend come true and spring comes to Narnia again.
“Narnia” conveys a message that bravery and teamwork can defeat all the evil things. What I liked best about the film is the changes in the character of the four children. They all learn an important lesson and become better people because of it. Another highlight is the gorgeous animation, especially the Lion (King Aslan). Acting is standard and nothing special though I must say that the role of Lucy is incredibly well done.

About Beauty 有关美
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 情人眼里出西施。
Beauty refers to something or somebody that makes people feel happy and comfortable. It consists of inner beauty（内心美） and physical beauty（外表美）, including beauty of nature, beauty of language, beauty of behavior（行为）, and beauty of soul（心灵）.
Beauty is the qualities that give pleasure to the senses（感官）.
There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit（追求）so interesting. ---John Kenneth Galbraith
Proverbs about beauty 有关美的谚语
A good fame is better than a good face. 美名胜过美貌。
Beauty is but skin-deep. 美丽只是外表罢了。
Virtue is fairer far than beauty. 美德远胜于美貌。
Beauty and folly are often companions. 美貌和愚蠢常结伴。
Inner beauty 内在美
1. Inner beauty, or personal qualities, is more difficult to determine. Because inner beauty depends on people’s personalities（个性）and qualities（品质）, such as, kindness, warmth, a healthy conscience（良心）. Besides, judging inner beauty is much more subjective（主观的）since people’s view on beauty is not exactly the same.
2. Examples show one’s “healthy conscience”：
Offering your seat to the elderly on the bus
Trying to save other’s lives when they are in danger
3. Inner beauty is much more important than physical beauty.
4. We should improve our inner beauty, and outward appearance as well.
5. Even at a job interview, the employer may attach more importance to one’s qualities, such as sincerity（诚意）, creativity（创造力）and communication skills（交际能力）than to one’s appearance.
6. We should never judge people by their appearance, otherwise we may easily be cheated.

give a clear picture in your mind 在你心中清晰地勾勒出一幅图画

诗歌的基本要素
押韵（rhyme）
押韵是指一个音节的读音在以后音节(syllable)读音中的重复，或是一个单词的最后一个音节或几个音节的读音在以后音节相应位置的读音重复。有许多押韵的形式：如例①，每两行押韵，是AA，BB式。在例②中，第一、三行押韵，第二、四行押韵，这是AB，AB式。例③中，第二、四行押韵，是ABCB式。
① I saw a fish-pond all on fire, (A)
I saw a house bow to a squire, (A)
I saw a person twelve-feet high, (B)
I saw a cottage in the sky. (B)
② I saw a fish-pond all on fire, (A)
I saw a person twelve-feet high, (B)
I saw a house bow to a squire, (A)
I saw a cottage in the sky. (B)
③ I’ve saved the summer (A)
And I give it all to you (B)
To hold on winter mornings (C)
When the snow is new. (B)
注释：pond 池塘 bow 鞠躬 squire 地主，乡绅 cottage 小屋，村舍
节奏（Rhythm）
英语诗的节奏简单来说是指诗行中的节拍（beat），一般一个重读音节（stressed syllable）后紧跟着一个非重读音节，这样读时声音就会响亮然后柔和。诗人使用重复和声音模式（如押韵）来制造节奏，根据诗行中的音节和重读节奏来计算韵律。
声音模式（Sound patterns）
除了押韵，诗人还用其他的声音模式，如：头韵（alliteration）。头韵是指重复同一个辅音（consonant），例如：slippery，slimy，snails; drying, drooping, dreading。头韵可以产生各种各样的感觉、情绪和活动。
意象（Image）
An image is a picture in the reader’s mind aroused by the words in the poem. 意象是诗歌中文字所唤起的在读者脑海中形成的图画。
An image is able to create visual beauty and express the poet’s feelings. 意象能够产生视觉美，表达诗人的情感。
Withered vines, olden trees, evening crows;
Tiny bridge, flowing brook, hamlet homes;
Ancient road, wind from west, bony horse;
The sun is setting,
Broken man, far from home, roams and roams.
（这是马致远的《秋思》，诗人通过环境描写，烘托了悲伤、凄凉的情感）
An image is made by means of descriptions. e.g. adjectives, comparisons. 意象由描写产生，如形容词、比喻等。
His cute little mouth,
turned up like a bow
词序 Word order
为了更好地表达诗歌的情感，使描绘更生动，更形象，诗歌经常用倒装语序，或省略的手段。如：
1）...in homesickness I am drowned. →
...I am drowned in homesickness.
2）Down came stout Santa →
Stout Santa came down in a single bound.

Hollywood film Avatar has been on show on the Chinese mainland. It broke the record set by Titanic；that is to say，it has surpassed Titanic to become the highest box-office film. The film took more than five years to make and was reportedly one of the most expensive films. It has won a Golden Globe. Apart from this，it has got nine Oscar nominations. The film is set in 2154 and tells a story of a disabled soldier, who is sent to Pandora to persuade the inhabitants to let his mates mine their homeland for natural resources．In my opinion，this is one of the most successful films.

The film, directed by Jiang Wen who also plays the role in the film, is set in the western part of Sichuan in the 1930s or 1940s. Many famous performers, including Hong Kong star Chow Yun-Fat and local favorite Ge You, gather together to make the film and they give an amazing performance in the film. While seeing the film, I’m impressed by its striking plot and smart dialogues as well as humorous lines.
However, some people complain that it is hard to understand the plot of the film, and some even think the film is dull and full of violence.
Personally, the film is well worth seeing and it is a real hit/masterpiece. Especially some of Jiang’s fans prefer to queue up to buy tickets for the film.

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。
The government of Norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the Arctic Ocean. The place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. The goal is to represent all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect the world’s food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the northernmost position on Earth.
An international group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Carp Fowler, spoke to New Scientist. He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if, in his words, “the worst came to the worst.” Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three million dollars. Workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above zero degrees Celsius. The seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high-security doors.
The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below zero Celsius. The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.
Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the world’s most secure gene bank. He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason. Norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. But security concerns delayed the plan. At that time, the Soviet Union was permitted use of Spitsbergen. New Scientist says the plan won United Nations approval in October at a meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization.
1. The project is meant to ________.
A. increase the world’s food production in the future
B. carry out some scientific experiments on plant genes
C. protect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible disasters
D. build an exhibition centre of the world’s plant seeds
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The government of Norway will perform the project alone.
B. Seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousand years ago.
C. Spitsbergen is chosen because it is away from the threat of nuclear war forever.
D. Temperature is a major consideration when choosing the storage place.
3. We can infer from the text that ________.
A. People will get newly-developed seeds from the center every year
B. The storage center will greatly promote the development of world agriculture
C. Norway meant to have built the storage center more than 20 years ago
D. There haven’t been any seed storage centers in the world before
4. What is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Noah’s Ark (诺亚方舟) of Plant Seeds in Plan
B. The Best Place to Store Seeds
C. Concerns of World Food Supply
D. A New Way to Feed the World

He told me he would be leaving the island and added, “I just want to wish you people good luck.” I do not know 3 I looked shocked, but I was sure that I was amazed then. He spoke these words like a human being and showed a side of himself we had never seen before. I thanked him 4 his good wishes and wished him luck in his future life.
I thought about this moment for a long time afterwards. Badenhorst had perhaps been 5 most cold-blooded and rudest commanding officer we had had on Robben Island. But that day in the office, I realized that there was another side to his nature, a side that we seldom saw 6 still existed.

答案与解析
一、单项选择
1. B。“交通不方便”是“缺点”，所以根据句意选B，排除A。drawback 劣势，缺点；advantage表示“优势”；shortcoming 表示“缺点，短处”时，常用复数，一般指个人能力；fault 过错。
2. A。句意：作为一个好老师，他应该允许他的学生表达与他不同的看法。convey“表达，传达”，符合题意。display展示，展览； consult请教，咨询；confront勇敢面对，遭遇。
3. A。句意：----罗斯在哭泣。----她确实在哭。你看生活有喜有悲嘛。is made up of 由……组成的；consist of 不用被动语态。consist in 存在于；make up 弥补，编造。
4. C。句意：这些年轻的学生对这个令人兴奋的经历感到兴奋。thrilled常用来修饰人，而thrilling常用来修饰物。
5. B。句意：只抱怨而不采取行动是没有用的。It’s no use doing sth.为固定句型，it为形式主语，动名词短语为真正的主语，加之此处表示主动的动作，所以B项符合题意。
6. C。考查非谓语动词作状语。句子主语Andy与offer之间是动宾关系，所以用过去分词作状语。故选C。
7. A。available有空的，可会见的，可用的，可买到的;be accessible to易接近的。
8. C。句意：这对表兄弟年龄相仿，但在其他方面，他们却有着天壤之别。otherwise表示“在其他方面；除此以外”。as different as day and night表示“黑白分明(天壤之别)”。
9. C。mind后接动词-ing形式作宾语，排除A、B；share sth. with sb. 与某人分享。
10. B。考查倒装句。句意：“我的教师职位的申请已经得到回复了”。“我的也是”。上句的主语是My application，答句中应是mine而非I。“so＋助动词＋主语”表示前一种情况也适用于后者。
11. A。base ...on/upon ...意为“以……为基础”，句中script与base之间为被动关系，用过去分词作后置定语。
12. D。考查词组辨析。句意：说实话，虽然工作本身很有趣，但报酬不是很吸引人。generally speaking表示“一般说来”； on the contrary 表示“相反”；in particular表示“特别，尤其”；to be honest表示“说实话”。由此我们不难判断选D项。
13．B。句意：就在我们房子前面有一棵具有1000年历史的大树。介词短语in front of our house位于句首，且主语是名词短语a tall tree，句子要全部倒装。
14. B。考查形似名词辨析与搭配。a guilty (或bad) conscience “内疚”；consciousness“知觉，意识”；consequence“后果”；confusion“混淆，混乱”。句意：她为没有把实情告诉警察而感到内疚。
15. B。句意：看问题要避免主观片面。subjective “主观的”，符合题意；objective 客观的；negative 消极的；positive 积极的。
16. C。句意：父母与孩子分离的那一场真的让人心碎。heartbreaking是形容词，意为“令人心碎的”；heartbroken 被使心碎的，感到悲伤的；scene意为“现场，景色，（戏剧）的一场”，从句意和下文was可知，应用单数。
二、完形填空
1．B。由下面的句子看，孩子们的物质生活大大提高，所以很“幸运”。
2．C。由于医药和公众健康医疗的“进步”。invention 发明；discovery 发现；advance 进步；product 产品。
3．A。享受现代生活的“舒适”。
4．D。Nevertheless（然而）是副词，表转折。in spite of 意为“尽管”，引出让步状语。
5．B。此处表示“尽管”有“生活”水平的提高，living standard生活水平。
6．B。deprive“使丧失”，语境表示尽管物质生活得到了提高，精神上却缺乏父母的爱护。
7．B。in fact意为“实际上”。
8．B。rightly意为“合适地、恰当地”。
9．B。把孩子“留给”临时保姆或托儿所。
10．A。前面说了时间是一种“奢侈品”，所以很少有父母能够“承担得起”浪费时间，12题前的afford也是一个提示。
11．C。“竞争激烈的（competitive）”社会。
12．D。provide sb. with sth. 给某人提供某物；offer sb. sth./ offer sth. to sb. 给予某人某物。
13．C。衣服、玩具等都是“物质上(material)”的享受。physical 身体的，物理学的；intellectual 智力的。
14．A。这是一件不好的事，所以是“难过地说”。

19．A。在孩子身上“常见的（common）”疾病。ordinary 普遍的，平常的，平庸的。
20．C。真正“关心 (care about)”孩子的父母。bring up 养大；agree with 同意（某人的想法）。
三、阅读理解
1．C。由第一段第5句话可以判断选C项。
2．D。由第二段倒数第2句话可以判断出选D项。
3．C。由最后一段第3、4句话可知C项正确。
4．A．由本文的主要内容可知A项为最佳选项。
四、语法填空
（1）
“冷血残忍”的指挥官Badenhorst亲切的祝福让作者倍感意外，同时也让作者开始思考人性的复杂。
1. complaint(s)。此处用所给单词的名词形式，在句中作宾语。
2. spoke。本文所述故事发生在过去，故用一般过去时。
3. if/whether。根据句子结构和句意可知，此处需用连词if或whether引导一个宾语从句。
4. for。此处用介词for表示原因或理由，是thank sb. for sth.的固定搭配。
5. the。本空的后面是一个含有最高级的结构。根据语法规则，形容词的最高级前面应用定冠词修饰。
6. but。根据句子意思可知，本空前后两个部分在逻辑上具有转折关系，故填连词but。
7. It。此处用代词it代指前面所陈述的那件事情。
8. touched。此处用动词的过去分词形式，构成with+sth.+v-ed独立主格结构，因为“心”是被“触动”的。
9. of。此处是because of的固定表达，意为”因为……”，后接名词或”触动”的。
10. or。根据句意可知，此处是whether… or…句型结构。句子大意：所以，当你在弄清他人是本性上的坏还是仅仅名声上的坏之前，不要去评判某个所谓的冷血的人。
（2）
原来被认为是浪费时间的白日梦，有人认为是健康的，有人认为是重要的，有人认为有助于他们的成功。
1. was considered。it指代daydreaming，与consider是被动关系，而且从上句时态可知用一般过去时。
2. healthy。修饰名词thing，需要用形容词，所以用healthy。
3. is。要填的动词的主语是Daydreaming，所以用单数；因为说的是一般情况，用一般现在时。
4. beyond。从下文可知，接下去又说了白日梦的益处，所以此空填beyond，表示“超出”。
5. surprising。修饰conclusions，表示事物的性质，用surprising，表示“令人吃惊的”。
6. also。上句说daydreaming有助于智力的增长，此句应为“也”提高注意力的集中，所以填also。
7. concentration。improves后接名词作宾语。
8. himself。pictured himself as an inventor 把自己想象成为发明家。
9. that。it appears that…似乎，好像。
10. vividly。vividly 意为“生动地，强烈地，逼真地”，修饰picture。句意：如果你把自己逼真地描述成失败的，仅凭这一点，就会使胜利变得不可能了。
五、书面表达
Based on the novel by British author, C. S. Lewis, Narnia is Disney’s another attempt to cash in, which has proved a great success. The story is set in the war-torn England in World War Ⅱ．It deals with the adventures of four children (Peter, Susan. Edmund and Lucy), who are sent to the estate of an elderly professor since London was getting too dangerous due to the German air raids. During a game of hide and seek they find a big old wardrobe full of coats and as they move towards the back of the wardrobe they stumble into snowy bushes. They are in Narnia, a magical realm where animals talk and all sorts of amazing creatures live. It is here that they meet their friends and join in the battle. Narnia is in the icy grasp of a never-ending winter, rule of the ice witch Jadis. There is an old legend in Narnia the four humans will team up with the old king of the animals Aslan and defeat the evil witch. Eventually, they make that legend come true and spring comes to Narnia again.
“Narnia” conveys a message that bravery and teamwork can defeat all the evil things. What I liked best about the film is the changes in the character of the four children. They all learn an important lesson and become better people because of it. Another highlight is the gorgeous animation, especially the Lion (King Aslan). Acting is standard and nothing special though I must say that the role of Lucy is incredibly well done.
注释：standard 合规格的，一般的；极好的，标准的
