Ⅴ.阅读理解
Throughout our lives we will meet many different people.Some pass through our lives for a few seconds,while others stay longer and touch us in a special way.
My friend Deddie Swaney is someone that touched my life,and the lives of many others throughout her life.She is a woman of courage,determination and kindness,and with 47 marathons under her belt,recently lost her fight against cancer at the age of 44.
I first met Deddie nine years ago at work and was drawn to her kindness.Deddie was an avid (酷爱的) runner and was known around the office for her love of the sport.She soon inspired (鼓舞) me to join her by first training for a relay,later followed by a marathon.Throughout the years,she bridged many close friendships and coached many of us to our first marathons.
I will never forget Deddie’s strength as she pulled me through some very long and difficult runs.No matter how cold or how early it was,she would always make time for a run and the chance to spend time with her friends.
It was Deddie’s goal to run a marathon in all 50 states.She proudly finished 39 states and 11 remained unfinished.Throughout her marathons,Deddie would stop to help other runners along the way who were struggling.For Deddie,it wasn’t about the time she finished the race in,but meeting other runners throughout her journey and helping coach them to reach the finish line.
Deddie was first diagnosed (诊断) with cancer almost five months ago.Although the true source of her cancer is undetermined,it is a very rare form of cancer for someone of her young age.With great determination and her 47 marathon medals,Deddie never lost her courage,hope and faith.
Deddie lost her fight against cancer on July 8,2007.Deddie was more than a runner;she was also an inspiration to many and will be missed by those that she touched in her life.
1.What would Deddie often do in a marathon race?
A.She would stop for a rest because of her poor health.
B.She would ask all her good friends to run together.

2.What can we learn from Deddie in the passage?
A.She was in poor health when she was born.
B.She did nothing but run marathons in her life.

Ⅱ.1.looks like 2.is short for 3.any more 4.got into 5.got out of 6.out of date 7.look out of 8.in the middle of
Ⅲ.1.(1)not any more (2)not any longer (3)not any more
解析 (1)not...any more=no more表示动作不再重复出现,故可以和瞬间动作动词连用。
(2)not...any longer=no longer表示动作不再延续,它必须和表示持续意义的动词一起使用。
2.(1)production (2)produce (3)product (4)production
解析 (1)product作“产品”讲时,为可数名词。
(2)production意为“产量,生产”,为不可数名词,其动词形式为produce。
(3)produce作为动词,意为“生产,制作;培养”;作为名词时,意为“农产品”,是不可数名词。
Ⅳ.1.A [disco music与record之间是被动关系,所以用被动形式,排除B、D两项;不定式作定语表示将来,根据主句内容可知动作已经完成。]
2.A [scenery指一个地方乃至一个国家的自然景色;sightseeing指“观光,游览”;sight表示“风景,名胜”,通常用复数形式,指人文景观;view表示平常所指的眼中所看到的“景色”。句意为:广东人喜欢看北方冬季的雪景,因为他们之前从来没有见过雪。故A项符合语境。]
3.B [句意为:(我们)提及的那位新老师昨天来到我们学校。referred to相当于定语从句“who was referred to”,修饰主语the new teacher。此句缺少谓语动词,故排除C项;又根据时间状语yesterday,可知选B项。]
4.A [句意为:请注意!在飞机起飞前,乘客们会有半小时的时间登机。take off(飞机)起飞,符合句意。get off下车;get into上车;参与;开始;take out取出。]
5.A [句意为:天然气的短缺供应引起了很多经济学专家的担心。supply供应,符合句意。use使用;product产品;information信息。]
6.B [由句意知island和abandon之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故应用过去分词表示被动,意为“被遗弃的”。]
7.B [allow sb.to do sth.允许某人干某事。此处为其被动形式。句意为:我们不可以在课堂上大声喧哗。]
8.C [句意为:这家公司以小汽车的生产而出名,它的产品在市场上很受欢迎。production产量,生产,为不可数名词;product作“产品”讲时,为可数名词。]
9.C [get off the bus下车;get into a car钻入小汽车;in the distance在远处,在远方。]
10.B [be short for...……的缩写;instead of代替。]
Ⅴ.1.C [细节理解题。根据文章第五段内容可知,Deddie在马拉松比赛中总会帮助那些有困难的运动员到达终点。因为对她来说,完成马拉松的时间并不重要,重要的是大家共同完成。]
2.C [推理判断题。Deddie为人友善,鼓励大家一起跑马拉松,并且“bridged many close friendships”;在马拉松比赛中还牺牲自己的时间来帮助他人,一定赢得了很多人的尊重,交了不少朋友。]
3.A [细节理解题。本题的关键是对最后一段第一句中“lost her fight against cancer”的理解,即“她最终没有战胜癌症”,在2007年7月8日英年早逝。]
4.D [作者态度题。本文是作者对一位马拉松运动员朋友的追忆,字里行间透露着对她的敬意和赞美。]
5.B [文章意图题。作者通过本文纪念一位马拉松运动员,她在生活中鼓励大家一起运动,在赛场上放弃名次帮助他人,患病中以乐观的态度面对癌症。]
