Ⅵ阅读理解
We don't know how different our future will be in the future.We can only try to imagine it.
At first we think about human relationship.In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day.We will be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way.It will be much faster and easier for us.On the other hand, our relationships with people won't be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.
Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier.In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.
Spending holidays will also be completely different.Travelling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone.Means of transport will, of course, change, too.We will be using solar?powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment.But it isn't true.We will pay more attention to protecting the environment.And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS.Therefore, our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition.
Although we can't predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them.We worry about our and our children's future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears.
But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future.We should be happy and believe good things will happen.
1.Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?
A.Because the number of people will become much smaller.
B.Because people won't communicate with each other much often.
C.Because people won't like making friends with each other.
D.Because there will be less face?to?face communication.
2.According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?
A.It won't be difficult for people to travel to other planets.
B.The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.
C.The relationship between people will be more important than today.
D.Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.
3.The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means “________”.
A.disappointed B.optimistic C.curious D.surprised
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.How people will communicate in the year 2050.
B.What high technology will appear in the year 2050.
C.How people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.
D.What our life will be like in the year 2050.

Ⅴ.语法填空
1.giving statement与give之间是主动关系,故用动词?ing形式作后置定语。
2.faced be faced with面对……。
3.themselves 这是一句座右铭,“自助者天助之”。故填themselves。
4.to work make efforts to do“努力做……”,所以这里用动词不定式作宾语。句意:有时我懒,不想努力工作。故填to work。
5.but 这里起转折作用。句意:虽然有时我懒不想努力工作,但是一想起我的座右铭,我就又精力充沛,全身心投入到我的工作中去。故填but。
6.to devote…to…献身于……;致力于……。这里理解为“全身心投入”。句意:全身心投入所做的事情。故填to。
7.where 这里是where引导的地点状语从句,where I can see it easily作I write my motto的地点状语。句意:我把我的座右铭写在容易看见的地方。故填where。
8.confidence confident对应的名词形式为confidence,而much修饰的是名词,所以要用名词confidence。句意为:我的座右铭会激励我并给予我信心。故填confidence。
9.an 根据后文independent person可知,这里应该用不定冠词,而independent是以元音字母开头,要用an。句意:我的座右铭也让我成为一个独立的人。故填an。
10.one 这里是代词,代指座右铭。句意:如果你还没有座右铭,请选择一个座右铭,因为它会对你有很大的影响。

1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段可知,电脑改变了我们交流和沟通的方式,故选D项。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Travelling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone.” 可知,每个人都可以去其他行星或月亮上旅行,故选A项。
3.B 词义猜测题。根据第六段的“We worry about our and our children's future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears.But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future.”可知,我们担心我们和我们孩子的未来;我们有期待、希望和恐惧;但是我们也应积极乐观地面对我们的未来。故选B项。
4.D 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述2050年时人类的生活会是什么样子。故选D项。
Ⅶ.阅读七选五
【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文,提出如何鼓励学生阅读的几条方法,包括让学生定时阅读、让学生挑选合适的书、如何去图书馆选择书本借阅等。
1.F 根据上句“By taking part in this regular activity themselves, teachers show that they consider reading very important.”可知,通过定时参加阅读活动,老师让学生懂得阅读的重要性。据此可以判断,这是他们即使很忙也能抽出时间来阅读的原因。故选F项。
2.G 根据该段前的小标题“Freedom to choose”可知,该段主要论述给学生挑选书本的自由,故G项与此匹配。
3.B 根据上句“Teachers' excitement for a particular book may have a huge influence on their students.”可知,老师对阅读某本书的推荐对学生有巨大的影响。据此可以判断,空格处介绍老师如何向学生介绍书,故选B项。
4.D 根据下句“By doing so, they can make sure the book fits their interests.”可知,通过此方法,学生可以确定这本书符合自己的兴趣。据此可以判断,在借书前先阅读一下书。故选D项。
5.E 根据上句中的“…it can be difficult to encourage youngsters to read.”和下句“Teachers who make independent reading a daily part of the classroom experience and find creative ways to motivate their students may be on the way to writing a success story.”可以判断,空处承接上文,引出下文,是过渡句,说明阅读有助于学习。故选E项。
Ⅷ.完形填空
【文章大意】 母亲下岗,生活变得拮据,这成为作者的心结,使作者倍感忧郁,但是在拥挤的纽约渡轮码头,一位年轻的女士弹琴吟唱抚平了作者的愁思,这位女士的一席鼓励的话语使作者倍感轻松,深受触动。
1.C 作者的母亲下岗,要支付的账单又很多,所以作者不知道现在会发生什么事情,即感到茫然,不知道如何是好。puzzle的宾语常常是人,故选C。
2.D 此处补全后意为“就是在我从车上下来开始步行的时候,我听到了弹钢琴和唱歌的声音”,这一点根据常识也能推出来。until需要和not连用才能意为“直到……才”。
3.B 此空所填的词应该是同时能修饰或限定介词of后面的两个名词的词语,我们不能说shout/cry/voice of the traffic。the noise of the people and the traffic交通及人们的喧闹声。
4.D 作者慢下脚步是为了弄清楚(find out)歌声及钢琴声到底是从什么地方传来的。give out发行,透露;test out检验;point out指出。
5.D 作者此时已经下了车,所以是透过人群看到了弹钢琴的女士。
6.C 根据第二段“…I heard piano music and singing rising…”可知答案,即“她唱歌的方式使我感到舒服了一些。”
7.C 在拥挤的纽约渡轮码头表演真的是需要勇气(courage)的。take此处意为“需要”。take patience需要耐心;take time需要时间;take trouble to do sth 不辞辛苦做某事。
8.C 她想必是觉察到“我”的存在了。feel意为“发觉,感觉到”。
9.C 因为觉察到有人在观看和倾听,所以她冲着作者的方向微笑(smile)以示打招呼。如果表达向某个方向看应该用look, see意为“看见”,不合逻辑。
10.B “我”走过去把一些钱放在她的车里。第二段的最后一句中有提示a carriage。
11.C “我”没有回家而是和她攀谈起来。根据第一段的叙述可知,“我”最近正在经历着很艰难的时光。rough=hard=difficult艰难的。
12.A but一词以示前后转折,这里指听到该女子的歌唱又使“我”感到充满了希望。
13.C 这里指那位女士问“我”为什么这么伤心。
14.A 第一段中的“I was feeling a little blue because my mother had been laid off from her job…”有提示,其中的lay off与get fired同义。
15.B 此处problem是那位女士所指的问题所在,即“你知道,问题就在这里”。
16.C 根据后文的your head was down可知,那位女士说“你走路的方式,(走路时)你低着头。”
17.B 低着头与defeated“挫败感,沮丧感”语境相一致。此处那位女士是在给作者提建议:不要显得很沮丧的样子。
18.C them指代前文的opportunities。如果你的头总是低着,你就有可能根本看不到机会。
19.C “我”浅浅地笑了笑,她鼓励“我”的方式让“我”惊讶。
20.B a musical soul指的就是那位女士,她鼓励的话语使“我”感到轻松了起来,并使“我”很受触动。touch使……受触动。
