大本钟是伦敦英国议会大厦的大钟的昵称。这个名字是为了纪念本杰明·霍尔爵士，1856年他负责大本钟的建造工作，持续了三年。现在大本钟已成为英国和伦敦的标志。
Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock in London.The name was given in honor of Sir Benjamin Hall，who was in charge of the work when the bell was built in 1856.It didn't strike until 3 years later.
The clock has become a landmark of the United Kingdom and London，particularly in the visual media.When a television or film-maker wishes to quickly show a non-UK audience a certain location in Britain，a popular way to do so is to show an image of the Clock Tower.
The Clock Tower is a focus of New Year celebrations in the United Kingdom，with radio and TV stations tuning to its chimes to welcome the start of the year.
Londoners who live a proper distance from the Clock Tower and Big Ben can，by means of listening to the chimes both live and on the radio or television，hear the bell strike thirteen times on New Year's Eve.This is possible because the speed of sound is a lot slower than the speed of radio waves.
Big Ben has appeared in many films.In the 1978 version of The Thirty-Nine Steps，the hero attempted to halt the clock's progress to prevent a linked bomb blowing up by hanging from the minute hand of its western face.It was also used in the filming of Shanghai Knights starring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson，and was described as being partially destroyed in the 2012 film Doctor Who.An animated version(卡通版) of the clock was also used as the setting in the Walt Disney film The Great Mouse Detective，and was shown being destroyed by a UFO in the film Mars Attacks!

as well as连接两种词性、结构对等的成分，如对等名词、动词、代词、形容词、介词短语、动词不定式等。重点掌握以下要点：

2)as well as位于句首，相当于besides，in addition to，后接动词时，用动名词形式。
3)as well as也可以表示同级比较，意思是“和……一样好”，well为副词。

几乎无论你走到英国的哪个地方，周围总有迹象表明，在历史上，有四群人在不同时期统治着英国。
【要点提炼】 句中everywhere you go in the UK为everywhere引导的地点状语从句，相当于wherever you go in the UK。
引导地点状语从句的连词有：where(在……地方)，wherever(无论哪里，在任何地方)，everywhere(每一……地方，到处)，anywhere(任何地方)。
①Wherever the film star goes，there are crowds of people waiting to see her.
这位电影明星所到之处都有成群的人等着见她。

有志者事竟成。
(教材P40－41)They introduced the beginnings of the English language，and changed the way people built houses．
他们引进了英语的起源，并改变了人们建造房屋的方式。
【要点提炼】 句中the way 后为省略了关系词that 或in which的定语从句。
(1)the way 后面的定语从句，关系词若在从句中作状语，相当于“用这种方式/方法(＝in this way)”时，通常不用关系词，偶尔用 that，在较正式的文体里才用 in which 来引导。
(2)the way 后不能用 how 引导定语从句，但也可以不用 way，而直接用 how 引导的名词性从句来表达这类意思。
①Do it the way (that/in which) you were taught.
要照教你的那样做。
②I was impressed by the way in which she did it.
她完成这件事的方式给我留下了深刻的印象。
③That's the way he did it.＝ That's how he did it.
他就是这样做的。
1．(教材P40)Almost everywhere you go in the UK，you will be surrounded by evidence of four different groups of people who took over at different times throughout history.
【分析】 本句是一个主从复合句，everywhere you go in the UK为地点状语从句，who took over at different times throughout history为限制性定语从句，修饰先行词people。
【翻译】 几乎无论你走到英国的哪个地方，周围总有迹象表明，在历史上，有四群人在不同时期统治着英国。
2．(教材P41)The capital city London is a great place to start，as it is an ancient port city that has a history dating all the way back to Roman times.
【分析】 本句是一个主从复合句，as引导的是一个原因状语从句，that has a history dating all the way back to Roman times为限制性定语从句，修饰先行词city，其中现在分词短语dating all the way back to Roman times作名词history的后置定语。
【翻译】 首都伦敦是一个很好的起点，因为它是一个古老的港口城市，它的历史可以追溯到罗马时代。

2．Come and read the poem written by an eight-year-old boy!
3．I felt myself often confused at first.
4．She had her painting boxed so it was delivered safely.
1.例句1中的excited为单个的过去分词作定语，一般放在被修饰词语之前。
2．例句2中的written by an eight-year-old boy为过去分词短语作定语，须放在被修饰的词语之后，功能相当于一个定语从句。
3．例句3中的过去分词confused作动词felt的宾语补足语。
4．例句4中的过去分词boxed作动词had的宾语补足语。
过去分词(past participle)是分词的一种。规则动词的过去分词一般是由动词加-ed构成，不规则动词的过去分词见不规则动词表。
一、过去分词作定语

(1)表示被动和完成
a polluted river一条被污染的河流
the watered flowers浇过水的花
(2)只表示完成，不表示被动
fallen leaves落叶
the risen sun升起的太阳
2．位置
单个的过去分词作定语时，通常放在所修饰词的前面；过去分词短语作定语时，通常放在后面，其作用相当于一个定语从句。
A watched pot never boils.
[谚语]心急锅不开。
The student dressed in white is my daughter.
＝The student who is dressed in white is my daughter.
穿白色衣服的那个学生是我女儿。
3．现在分词与过去分词作定语的区别

4．难点突破
三种非谓语形式作定语所表示的内涵：
done
被动的动作已经完成
being done
被动的动作正在发生
to be done
被动的动作将要发生
The meeting held yesterday is very important.

二、过去分词作宾语补足语
1．过去分词作宾语补足语与宾语的关系

He watched the TV set carried out of the room.
他看着电视机被搬出了房间。
Last year they had the house rebuilt.

Harry Potter
Mr.and Mrs.Dursley，of number four，Privet Drive，were proud to say that they were perfectly normal，thank you very much.They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious，because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.
Mr.Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings，which made drills.He was a big，beefy man with hardly any neck，although he did have a very large mustache.Mrs.Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck，which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences，spying on the neighbors.The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.
The Dursleys had everything they wanted，but they also had a secret，and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it.They didn't think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters.Mrs.Potter was Mrs.Dursley's sister，but they hadn't met for several years；in fact，Mrs.Dursley pretended she didn't have a sister，because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be.The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbors would say it：the Potters arrived in the street.The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son，too，but they had never even seen him.This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away；they didn't want Dudley mixing with a child like that.
哈利·波特
住在女贞路四号的德思礼先生及夫人，他们非常骄傲地宣称自己是十分正常的人，拜托拜托了。他们绝不会卷入任何奇怪或神秘的事情，因为他们对此总是嗤之以鼻。
德思礼先生是一家叫作格朗宁的钻机公司的老板。他非常肥壮、结实，几乎肥到没有脖子，但却有一把大胡子。德思礼夫人则很瘦，一头金发。她的脖子有常人的两倍那么长，这使得她整天伸长脖子透过花园围栏去偷窥邻居家的动静变得非常容易。德思礼夫妇有个儿子叫作达力。在他们眼中，这世界上再没有比达力更棒的男孩子。
德思礼一家几乎有他们想要的一切东西。但是他们也有一个秘密，而且他们最大的担心就是有一天别人会发现这个秘密。如果有人知道了关于波特一家的事，他们会受不了的。波特夫人是德思礼夫人的妹妹，但是她们已经有很多年没有见面了。事实上，德思礼夫人假装她从来没有什么妹妹，因为她的妹妹和那不中用的妹夫没有一丝一毫德思礼家族的风范。一想到波特一家的到来会招致邻居的议论，德思礼一家就会浑身发抖。德思礼一家知道波特夫妇也有一个儿子，只是未曾谋面。这个小男孩也成了德思礼一家避开波特一家的借口，因为他们不希望听话的达力与这种小孩混在一起。
[知识积累]
1．involved vt. 包含；使参与，牵涉
2．mysterious adj. 玄妙的；神秘的
3．nonsense n. 胡闹；胡说
4．drill vt. 训练；操练；钻(孔)
5．beefy adj. 强壮的；结实的
6．blonde adj. (头发)金色的
7．Mrs.Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck，which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences，spying on the neighbors.
分析：该句是由关系代词which引导定语从句修饰先行词neck，并在从句中作主语；spying on the neighbors是-ing结构作伴随状语。
[文化链接]
根据《哈利·波特》作者J·K·罗琳的介绍，这个故事的灵感是1991年她在从曼彻斯特到伦敦的火车上萌发出的。她当时经常在爱迪安堡的一家咖啡馆中撰写第一集小说。尽管J·K·罗琳一再说明，在开始写哈利·波特系列小说时没有针对特定年龄层读者的想法，但是出版社在出版第一部的时候，显然把读者群定位在9到15岁的青少年。

A city without cars would be very strange，right？But Venice is such a city.
Venice is in the northeast of Italy.It wasn't built on land，like Beijing or Shanghai，but on more than 110 islands.Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so，travel isn't difficult.The waterways have always been the best way to get around.There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go.People in Venice move from place to place by boat.
Water makes the city special，but it is also a big problem.Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences.One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge，and there's nothing special.But when they come back to the bridge an hour later，it's underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.
Once，people used too much underground water.This made the city get lower little by little.Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters.Another problem is the rising seawater.The temperature has risen over the years.This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean melt.Every year，high water hits the city in autumn and winter.When a lot of water comes，more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.The Italian government has asked some of Italy's biggest companies to build the MOST project，which was planned to be built under the seawater to stop the rising water.Anyway，this project is helping solve the problem.

British scientists，exploring a beach on the country's east coast，discovered what they believed were the oldest human footprints outside of Africa.They were estimated to be close to one million years old and were believed to be the oldest evidence of humans in northern Europe.
Footprints of a group of ancient humans were discovered on a beach in Norfolk，in eastern Britain.They may be about 500，000 years older than the earliest footprints previously found in the country.The 3D images and a model of one of the imprints(印记) were unveiled(透露) at a news conference at the British Museum，in London.
The museum's archaeologist Nick M Ashton described the moment when he realised the footprints were left by prehistoric men.“It was only when the overhead views were emailed to me back in my office that I immediately looked at it and opened up the file and I thought，‘This is absolutely amazing.’ You know，there was no doubt that they really were human footprints，” he said.
Nick said the new discovery would alter the understanding of early human history in Europe.A researcher of Liverpool John Moores University Isabelle de Groote analysed the prints.“The spread of the footprint size gave us an indication that there were children，a number of children and probably some adults there with at least one，probably one male，” she said.
It is not known how the early humans survived in the cold environment of ancient northern Europe.Scientists said a million years ago，Britain was joined to continental Europe and they believed that the individuals who left the footprints were related to Homosapiens' ancestors called the Pioneer Man，known to have inhabited in a warmer climate.

C．change D．develop
C [词义猜测题。根据该词所在的语境可知，这次在英国东海岸发现的脚印将会改变人们对欧洲早期人类历史的认知，故可推测alter意为“改变”。故选C项。]

Tina Stern 27 rides from Wilson for all her four years in college，and the trips meant much more to her than just free 28 ．“It's not just a ride；you're not just sitting there in 29 silence or with your headphones on，” Stern said.“He asks you questions and actually 30 the answers，so the next time you ride with him，he'll 31 those things.”
Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organisation，On Point for College.Although the 32 asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes，Wilson often goes 33 to ensure the welfare and safety of the students.If they have problems with registration，Wilson is there to 34 them.If they run out of certain daily necessities，Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what's needed.If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school，Wilson never 35 to buy them a meal.
For many students，Wilson's help is not only appreciated，it's also entirely 36 for them to be able to complete their college education.Some students don't have a reliable car，while others have to 37 vehicles with parents who work six days a week.For them，riding with Wilson has 38 them to complete their education—but according to Wilson，he benefits just as much from the 39 ．“I just love driving，and I love these kids，” Wilson said.“It's such a(n) 40 to be a part of these kids' lives，even just for a few hours，getting to know them and hearing their stories.”

Ⅳ.语法填空
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Reggie was a normal boy，but he had been born deaf.He was well known to everyone in town，and they were all very fond of him.Unfortunately，he always seemed to be treated 41. (different) from everyone else.
Reggie didn't like this very much.But the person 42. disliked this most was his friend Michael.Michael decided that things had to change.So he managed to persuade other people in town 43. (choose) one day of the festival for deaf people this year.During that whole day everyone in town would have to wear earplugs(耳塞)．The day 44. (call) The Day of Silence，and when it arrived everyone stuck plugs in their ears.As the hours passed，people began to realize 45. difficult life was for the deaf.Soon no one was thinking of Reggie as 46. deaf person.47. (use) his usual gestures，Reggie was the one who could communicate best with everyone.They were surprised at his ability to find solutions 48. almost any problems.They realized all Reggie needed was 49. (much) time than others to communicate.That was the only difference.
It was on this day 50. everyone realized they have to give people a chance to show how useful they are.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了Reggie天生失聪，别人对待他的方式与其他人有所不同。他的朋友设法说服镇上的其他人选择今年的一天为今年的聋人节。随着时间的流逝，人们开始意识到耳聋者的生活是多么的艰难。很快，就没有人把Reggie当成一个耳聋者来看待了。
41．differently [考查词性转换。该空修饰动词treated，用副词，所以填differently。]
42．who/that [考查定语从句。“ disliked this most”是一个定语从句，the person是先行词，关系词在从句中作主语，指人，所以填who/that。]
43．to choose [考查非谓语动词。persuade sb.to do sth.说服某人做某事，是固定用法，所以填to choose。]
44．was called [考查时态和语态。整篇文章都用的是一般过去时，所以这里也用一般过去时，The day与 call之间是被动关系，用被动语态，所以填was called。]
45．how [考查宾语从句。句意：随着时间的流逝，人们开始意识到耳聋者的生活是多么的艰难。“ difficult life was for the deaf.”是一个宾语从句，引导词在从句中作状语表示“多么”，所以填how。]
46．a [考查冠词。句意：很快，就没有人把Reggie当成一个耳聋者来看待了。此处为泛指一个耳聋者，deaf的首字母发音是辅音，所以填不定冠词a。]
47．Using [考查非谓语动词。use的逻辑主语是Reggie，它们之间是主动关系，用现在分词作状语，所以填Using。]
48．to [考查介词。句意：他们对他几乎能解决所有问题的能力感到惊讶。find solutions to...找到……的解决方案，为固定用法，所以填to。]
49．more [考查比较级。根据“than others to communicate”可判断出这里在进行比较，用比较级，所以填more。]
50．that [考查强调句。把It was和该空去掉，这个句子结构完整，语义清晰，所以这是一个强调句。强调句的基本结构是：It is/was＋被强调部分＋that＋句子的其他成分，所以填that。]
Ⅴ.应用文写作
假如你叫李明，你有一位英国网友叫Tom，他听说过中国的故宫，但知道的不多，于是给你发来了e-mail，请你给他介绍一下有关故宫的情况。请你根据下面提供的一些要点给他回一封80词左右的电子邮件。

During the winter，Andy Law likes to keep his house warm，which used to be a problem.He sometimes forgot to turn down the thermostat(恒温器) when he travelled，which raised his heating bills.But he hasn't had to worry about that since he bought one of Google's Nest thermostats.
In fact，companies are developing many smart devices(装置)that will change their functions according to what they learn about their users' needs.But many of these devices are still on the drawing board，so the Nest thermostat first provides a good example of what is fast coming down the road.
Officials at Google Inc.say the Nest thermostat can understand what its owners want.“The first three to four days is when it's most eager to learn，”said Maxime Veron，director of product marketing for Nest.“It gathers data，temperature，the time it was set and occupancy.”After four days，Nest learns enough to keep the house as hot or cold as the person generally prefers at different times.
One feature that will appear about a week after Nest starts learning is its “Auto-Away” fun_ction.Nest will automatically adjust the temperature to whatever people previously have indicated they prefer when they're gone.
The Auto-Away sensors(传感器)also are designed to scan a room for movement above most pets' heads，so they don't mistake a dog or cat for a person and assume someone is still in the home.But the thermostats can be fooled by large pets.
Another feature many people seem to like is “Nest Leaf”，which gives the users feedback(反馈)whenever the temperatures they set save energy.So if the person raises the temperature enough on a hot day or down on a cool one，a green leaf appears on the thermostat.
However，some people say that it is too expensive.But after trying it out，PC Magazine editor John Delaney said，“It is a must for anyone looking to save on heating and air conditioning costs and I like the idea of setting it and forgetting it.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了谷歌新推出的智能装置——Nest恒温器。
4．After buying a Nest thermostat，Andy Law ．
A．has reduced his heating bills
B．has solved his health problems
C．doesn't need to keep his house warm
D．doesn't worry about his travelling expenses
A [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He sometimes forgot to turn down the thermostat(恒温器) when he travelled，which raised his heating bills.But he hasn't had to worry about that since he bought one of Google's Nest thermostats”可知，Andy Law有时外出会忘记调低恒温器的温度，以至于取暖费用大增。不过自从他买了谷歌的Nest恒温器以后，他就不用担心这个问题了。由此可推断Nest恒温器帮助Andy Law减少了取暖费用。故选A。]
5．By saying “on the drawing board” in Paragraph 2，the author means that many of these devices are ．
A．out of control
B．made for a special purpose
C．designed in many new ways
D．in the process of being planned
D [词义猜测题。 根据第二段中的“so the Nest thermostat first provides a good example of what is fast coming down the road”可知，谷歌的Nest恒温器跨出智能装置领域的第一步，由此可推断，许多这样的装置仍“在策划阶段”。]
6．One feature of the Nest thermostat is that it can ．
A．affect and change its users' living habits
B．learn its users' daily heating and cooling preferences
C．collect detailed information about its users' activities
D．recognize the differences between people and large pets
B [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...the Nest thermostat can understand what its owners want”以及“After four days，Nest learns enough to keep the house as hot or cold as the person generally prefers at different times”可知，Nest恒温器能够掌握用户平常对温度的具体喜好。]
7．A green leaf will appear when you ．
A．place your Nest thermostat in a cool house
B．turn down your Nest thermostat on a hot day
C．turn on the “Auto-Away” fun_ction of your Nest thermostat
D．adjust your Nest thermostat to an energy-efficient temperature
D [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“‘Nest Leaf’，which gives the users feedback (反馈) whenever the temperatures they set save energy...a green leaf appears on the thermostat”可知，每当用户设定的温度有助于节能时，Nest恒温器就会出现一片绿叶为用户提供反馈。]
C
Londoners are great readers.They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books—especially paperbacks，which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing.They still continue to buy “proper” books，too，printed on good paper and bound(装订)between hard covers.
There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling.Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London.Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found，from the celebrated one which boasts of being “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny，dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time.Some of these shops stock，or will obtain，any kind of books，but many of them specialize in second hand books，in art books，in foreign books，in books on philosophy，politics or any other of the countless subjects about which books may be written.One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet!
Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books，Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest.For the really cheap second hand books，the collector must venture off the beaten track，to Farringdon Road，for example，in the East Central district of London.Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops.The booksellers come along each morning and pour out their sacks of books onto small handcarts.And the collectors，some professionals and some amateurs，have been waiting for them.In places like these they can still，occasionally，pick up for a few pence an old one that may be worth many pounds.
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了伦敦的书店，从出名的书店到街边小推车书摊等。

B [细节理解题。由第二段的“There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling.Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London.” 可知B项正确。]
10．In this passage，what does the underlined part “venture off the beaten track” mean?
A．Buy books in a most busy street.
B．Move away from a busy street.
C．Waste time looking for books.
D．Take a risk of losing one's life.
B [词义猜测题。由语境可知，要想买便宜的二手书就要离开这些方便的书店去伦敦东部，那儿有人把书放在推车上卖，也就是“从繁忙的街道到僻静的地方”，故B项正确。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Getting to sleep is all about the 4Rs—Regularity，Routine，a Restful bedroom and the Right bed.
1．Regularity
Regularity of bedtimes and getting-up times helps ensure good sleep. 11 Keep your bedroom dark while you are sleeping so that the light will not interfere with your rest.As soon as it's time to wake up，open the curtains or turn a light on.Light helps your body know it's time to wake up.Planned daytime naps(小睡) are fine，but oversleeping will ruin your night-time sleep. 12
2．Routine
Having a bedtime routine—like having a bath before bed—will help your brain wind down and prepare you for sleep.Reading a book or listening to the same piece of calming music every night may help，too. 13 Write down your worries and possible solutions before you go to bed，then stop thinking about them!
3．A Restful bedroom
14 It is not a good idea to use your bed for doing work，making phone calls etc.Help your body recognize that this is a place for rest by getting rid of anything work-related before you go to bed.
4．The Right bed
You need to look after your bed.Turn the mattress(床垫) over every few months. 15
A．Try to stay awake all day if you can.
B．It should get replaced every 10 years at least.
C．However，staying up is harmful to your health.
D．Your bedroom should be a place for sleeping only.
E．Anxiety excites the nervous system，making you more alert.
F．It is necessary to make your bedroom comfortable to live in.
G．If possible，try and go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了睡眠的四大要素。
11．G [通过第一空前一句可知，睡觉和起床的规律性有助于确保良好的睡眠。其意与G项中的“go to bed and wake up at the same time”相对应。]
12．A [通过第二空前一句可知，睡得过多会毁掉夜晚的睡眠。由此可推出A项“如果可以的话，白天尽可能保持清醒”正确。]
13．E [由第三空后的关键词worries可推出E项“焦虑使神经系统兴奋，使你变得更加警觉”正确。]
14．D [由第四空后一句“It is not a good idea to use...” 可知D项“你的卧室应仅是个睡觉的地方”正确。]
15．B [由第五空前一句每几个月需要翻动床垫可推出B项“至少每十年要换床垫”正确。]

Mrs.Cosby did this every 27 from then on.Each month we got a piece of paper that emphasized our 28 .On that she commented 29 my courage，how punctual I was，how good to settle arguments if I wanted.Her positive attitude changed our class.We did not want to 30 her feelings anymore.We actually started to 31 ．
And then came the day of our graduation.Mrs.Cosby hugged us and told us with tears in her eyes how 32 she was of us.Then she 33 each one of us a book.All the encouraging words through the years were there，in hard covers.
She said，“I want you each to keep this book and if ever during your life you feel unworthy， 34 this and read how good you are.You can be anything you want to be 35 you believe in yourself.Promise me you'll remember that！”

Ⅵ.概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
If you take a look at the best-selling books in the UK these days，it is almost certain that there will be a lot of autobiographies(自传) in that list.Bill Clinton，Nelson Mandela and actor Michael J Fox have all written them.An autobiography is the story of a person's life，written by that person.It is usually a very famous person who might tell us all about their childhood，how they became famous and any other interesting things that have happened in their lives.
Traditionally，someone would write an autobiography when they were older because they had had a long，successful life.However，these days there are many magazines with stories and photos of the stars which sell very well.Reality TV shows are extremely popular and lots of people become famous very easily just from being on the TV rather than being able to sing or act well.As a result，people become famous very quickly and as soon as they are famous，a lot of money can be made from writing an autobiography，even if they are very young.
So now you can find an autobiography from almost everyone who is in the public eye.Even though we can follow the lives of the stars very closely on TV or in magazines nowadays，we maybe don't know how they live their lives from day to day.Autobiographies often give the information we never knew about the stars.The British public are very curious to find out more so they are very eager to read autobiographies.
Not every star wants to write though.Sometimes stars employ writers to write their life stories for them.The writer will interview the stars，listen to everything they want to say，record interviews and then write books based on their words.David Beckham did this with his book My Side.
Not everyone likes to read books regularly but they might like to read about the lives of stars.Autobiographies are helping to get more British people reading books.About 100 million autobiographies are sold in Britain every year.More stars depend on them for extra income and as more of these books appear in the shops，more people are sure to keep buying them.
【参考范文】
Autobiographies，stories written by famous people about themselves，are popular in the UK.(要点1)But unlike traditional ones，many of today's autobiographies are about young stars who rise to fame quickly.(要点2)As they often contain information unknown before，readers are keen on reading them.(要点3)Not fond of writing，however，some celebrities hire writers to write their autobiographies.(要点4)Besides，due to autobiographies，more British people are involved in reading now.(要点5)

Washington Square Park

Judson Memorial Church
Located in the south of Washington Square between Thompson Street and Sullivan Street，opposite Washington Square Park，this beautiful church was completed in 1892.The Judson Memorial Church is most famous for its vocal participation in social events.
Washington Mews
It is a hidden，private street in New York City between Fifth Avenue and University Place，just north of Washington Square Park.It was first developed as a mews that serviced horses from homes in the area.Since the 1950s the former stables have served as housing，offices and other facilities for New York University.
Jefferson Market Courthouse
Built in 1833 as a market，it was later changed to a courthouse，and in the 1950s it was emptied and close to being destroyed.It was saved and turned into a library.Many consider it to be the most beautiful building in the village.

English songs have been very popular with people around the world for many decades.Songs from Elvis Presley's to Ricky Martin's，from the Beatles's to Eminem's and from Natalie Cole's to Britney Spears's have all been enjoyed by people around the world，even by people who don't speak English.
From my experience，some people listen to English songs for 20－30 years but still don't acquire any good English skills.Some people choose to learn English by listening to English songs，but most of them fail.
Listening to English songs does not help you to speak English fluently.It does help you gain some vocabulary，but most of these words are unusual ones that you don't use in everyday life.You won't learn the sentence“It is a difficult project.We really need to meet the deadline.” in any English songs.All you will hear are love，passion，affection，hate and blue，for the feelings，not the color.
People like using English songs to practise English skills because it's easy and enjoyable.They think that sitting in the car listening to English songs day after day will improve their English skills.It actually will not.
You will definitely not improve your listening skills because normal people don't speak with a tune.People don't talk like Eminem's songs.You can't get yourself familiar with English pronunciation or accent just from listening to English songs.The words that are pronounced in the songs are not the words that you will hear in your everyday life.They can even confuse you more about how English is pronounced.
I would fully encourage you to watch English movies and listen to radio news or other normal talks，but not music.Of course，you can consume it for fun but not with the aim of improving your English skills.Having good English skills is not that easy.Remember you should work hard to improve your English step by step.
【语篇解读】 大家喜欢听英文歌来学习英语是因为这是一种简单且享受的方式。有些人以为天天坐在车里听听歌就能学好英语，其实这是不可能的。
5．According to the passage，listening to English songs can help you ．
A．improve your English grammar
B．speak English more fluently
C．gain the skills of writing
D．learn more new words
D [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It does help you gain some vocabulary”可知，听英文歌曲的确可以增加你的词汇量。]
6．What can we learn about the words in English songs?
A．Most of them are vivid and interesting.
B．They are seldom used in people's everyday life.
C．English learners should learn more of them.
D．They can help people improve their pronunciation.
B [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“but most of these words are unusual ones that you don't use in everyday life”可知，英语歌曲中的很多词汇在实际生活中并不经常使用。]
7．It can be inferred from the passage that the writer may be ．
A．an experienced English learner
B．a well-known pop singer
C．a Chinese music fan
D．an American teacher
A [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“All you will hear are love，passion，affection，hate and blue，for the feelings，not the color”和最后一段中的“I would fully encourage you to watch English movies and listen to radio news or other normal talks，but not music”可知，作者对听歌曲学英文的利弊非常了解，并且对如何学习英语提出了中肯的建议，这些说明他是一个非常有经验的英语学习者。]
8．What does the underlined word “consume” mean?
A．Store. B．Record.
C．Use. D．Download.
C [词义猜测题。根据画线单词后面的“for fun but not with the aim of improving your English skills”可知，你可以用英文歌曲来娱乐。]

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。1608年，英国人Thomas Coryate参观了意大利，并买了几把意大利人吃肉时用的叉子回国。但他向朋友介绍叉子时，并不成功。直到五十年后，英国人才开始使用叉子。
1．that [考查定语从句。根据句法知识可知，“ he had found”是定语从句，修饰先行词“every interesting thing”，先行词指物，而且前面有“every”修饰时，只能用that引导该从句。故填that。]
2．of [考查介词。根据句意可知，意大利人就餐时，使用小叉子，而不是手。instead of意为“代替，而不是……”，为固定短语。故填of。]
3．leaving [考查非谓语动词。介词“before”后应用动名词或名词作宾语，且leave和主语“Thomas”之间是主动关系，应用动名词形式。故填leaving。]

Every August，Spain's countryside comes alive with feasts.But hardly anyone actually lives here.People come one week a year to party in the villages of their ancestors.During the other 51 weeks，villages are deserted.“There was a time when this place was growing！But not anymore.” says Felix Sacristan，who's 55 and unemployed，living in his late grandfather's house.“The only ones left are the elderly.There are lots of abandoned homes.It makes for cheap housing，” he says.
Like much of Spain's central Meseta Table Plateau，this land is dusty and the climate is severe.People say it's like nine months of winter and three months of burning hell.“This land used to be for cereals(谷物)，but it's difficult to grow anything else，”Sacristan says.“And who wants to be a farmer these days now，anyway？”
In northern Europe，the Industrial Revolution pulled people to big cities centuries ago.But in Spain，that migration happened much later.The first wave occurred after the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s；the second，after Spain's military governing ended in the late 1970s.Now there's been a third leaving，during the recent economic crisis.But it's not just on Spain's severe central land.Even villages in the country's most fertile northwest region，Galicia，are being depopulated．The Galician landscape once supported Spain's highest population，and half of all Spanish villages are located there.Now nearly half of these villages are abandoned.
“Some of the places I'm finding have been empty for 50 or 60 years，”Adkinson，a British-born real estate(房地产)agent who searches the countryside for abandoned properties and tries to match them up with foreign buyers，says.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了西班牙农村的变迁，曾经富饶的土地养活了许多人口，但是经过几次从农村到城市的迁徙，许多土地和房屋已经被荒弃。
1．The text mainly tells about the present situation of ．
A．the culture in Spain
B．the aging problem in Spain

A．It is as rich as ever.
B．It is polluted by rubbish.
C．It is hard to farm for a living.
D．It is frozen throughout the year.

3．The underlined part “being depopulated” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to“ ”．
A．suffering disasters B．gaining attention
C．producing more D．reducing residents
D [ 词义猜测题。D项意思是居民减少。从文中第三段后面几句：甚至在该国最肥沃的西北地区——加利西亚……，西班牙一半的村庄位于那里，它曾经养活着西班牙最多的人口，现在那里将近一半的村庄也被荒弃了。故选D。]

Ⅱ.完形填空
The British Isles consist of two large islands.One is called Ireland and 1 Britain.Britain，or Great Britain，is the larger one of these two islands，and it is 2 into three parts：Scotland，Wales and England.
The United Kingdom is that part of the British Isles 3 by the Queen.It is made up of Scotland，Wales and England，that is，the 4 of Britain，and also about one sixth of Ireland，the northern part.The 5 of Ireland is self-governing.The 6 name of the United Kingdom is 7 “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”．
England is 8 and richer than Scotland，Wales and Northern Ireland，and has the most 9 of the United Kingdom，so people often use the 10 “England”and“English”when they 11 “Britain”and “British”．This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little 12 ．The Scots in particular are very 13 of their separate nationality.The Welsh too do not 14 themselves as English，and have a culture and 15 a language of their own.
Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801，but for forty years the “Irish 16 ”was the greatest headache of the United Kingdom. 17 ，Ireland was divided into two：Northern Ireland still 18 to the United Kingdom，and in 1922 the rest of Ireland 19 to found an Irish Free State，later called Eire and now the Republic of Ireland.
The Republic of Ireland does not regard itself as part of Britain，and is not now even a supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations.Unlike the major Commonwealth countries，it did not lift a finger to 20 British in the Second World War and now wants the whole of Ireland to be a republic.

[高考题型练习提能力]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
London—A morning's train ride away，across the Channel，English kids talk about Liverpool's soccer team in a Paris pub.
Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.
In the 19th century，Charles Dickens compared the two great rival cities，London and Paris，in A Tale of Two Cities.These days，it might be A Tale of One City.
Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor's broken French and respond in polite English.
As jobs grew lacking at home over recent years，perhaps 250，000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel.With an undersea tunnel，they could travel between cities in three hours.The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.
Paris，rich in beauty，is more attractive，but London feels more full of life，and more fun until the pubs shut down.
“For me，the difference is that London is real，alive，”said Trevor Wheeler，a banker.
Chantal Jaouen，a professional designer，agrees，“I am French，but I'll stay in London，”she said.
There is，of course，the other view，Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago.“I think people laugh more in Paris，”she said.
In fact，London and Paris，with their obvious new similarities，are beyond the old descriptions.As the European Union gradually loosened controls，Londoners flocked into Paris to shop，eat and buy property.
“Both cities have changed beyond recognition，”said Larry Collins，a writer and sometimes a Londoner.
Like most people who know both well，he finds the two now fit together comfortably.
“I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s，and it is still a wonderful place，”Collins said.
“But if I had to choose，it would be London.Things are so much more ordered，and life is better，but certainly not cheaper.”
In fancy parts of London，rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.
Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.
Like Daphne Benoit，a French journalism student with perfect English，many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose.
“I love Paris，my little neighborhood，the way I can walk around a center，but life is so structured，”she said.“In London，you can be who you want.No one cares.”
【语篇解读】 文章对伦敦和巴黎进行了各方面的比较让人们对这两个城市有了更深入的了解。
1．The best title for this passage is ．
A．Londoners and Parisians
B．A Modern Tale of Two Cities
C．The Similarity of Two Cities
D．Fancy London and Fashionable Paris
B [主旨大意题。文章用大量的篇幅对伦敦和巴黎进行对比。对照19世纪狄更斯的小说《双城记》，本文可以被形象地称作“现代的双城记”。]
2．Living in Paris，you may find ．
A．life is better
B．things are cheaper
C．a job easily
D．more attractive people
B [细节理解题。根据第十段中的“...Londoners flocked into Paris to shop，eat and buy property.”以及倒数第五段中的“But if I had to choose，it...but certainly not cheaper.” 可知在巴黎物价更低些。]
3．We can infer from the text that ．
A．Paris and London have become perfect partners
B．London feels more full of life
C．life in Paris is structured
D．Paris and London have become fierce competitors
A [推理判断题。两个城市之间的人互相往来，可以自由选择自己的生活方式，也有利于这两个城市的发展，所以说它们是很好的合作伙伴。]
B
There are probably no people on Earth who like to gossip as much as the British.If prying into(打探)others' lives were an Olympic sport，then Team GB would surely take the gold medal.
And when the British can't watch the lives of real people，they have another source of entertainment to fall back on—the soap opera.British soap operas are very different to US TV dramas.For one，they are normally longer running.The two most popular，Coronation Street and East-enders，have been running for 48 and 24 years respectively.Both are broadcast several times a week，so remarkably there have been more than 7，000 episodes of Coronation Street.
The most obvious difference is that，unlike US dramas，the British soap operas focus on the real world.There is little glamour(魅力)，the stars are rarely rich，and they normally have boring jobs.Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience—but with some drama added.This means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they go through on the show.
Because these soap operas last for decades，the cast is ever changing.The shows rarely focus on one or two main characters.Like the real world，people come and go all the time.However，there are exceptions.Coronation Street's William Roach，76，has played the role of Ken Barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960，and he is still a regular.
The choice of which soap opera you follow is often cultural：people from the north of Britain tend to watch Coronation Street as it is set in Manchester.People from the south generally prefer East-enders，which is set in the east of London.The show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了英国人喜欢打探消息和闲聊的特点，从而阐述英剧的历史和特点，英国人对于英剧极其钟爱，不同地区的英国人对英剧种类的喜爱也有所差异。
4．What is the main difference between American dramas and British soap operas?
A．American dramas are longer.
B．British soap operas are longer.
C．American dramas deal with dangerous things.
D．British soap operas deal with real people.
D [细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The most obvious difference is that，unlike US dramas，the British soap operas focus on the real world.” 可知D项正确。]
5．Why do British people like to watch such operas?
A．They can find their own life from the operas.
B．They can enjoy the operas in their free time.
C．They can watch the operas for many years.
D．They care about the fate of the characters in the operas.
A [细节理解题。根据第三段第三句中“Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience...” 可知其反映现实生活。]
6．The underlined word “episodes” in the second paragraph probably means“ ”．
A．plays B．pages
C．issues D．parts
D [词义猜测题。第二段讲述的主要对象为电视剧，以部分和剧集分割，故D项正确。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Body language mistakes you should avoid at work
Communication is not only about words but also gestures.Therefore，you should be careful about how you use your body when expressing yourself.
Avoiding eye contact (接触)
When speaking with a workmate，avoiding eye contact makes you look unprofessional (不专业的)． 1 Therefore，you should always keep eye contact especially when you are making a point.
Crossing your arms
Crossing your arms shows that you are not open to others and that you want to put a distance between yourself and them. 2 In order to give others a warm feeling，just keep your arms open.
Checking the time
Checking the time every few minutes makes people feel you are in a hurry or would rather be somewhere else. 3 Therefore，when you are speaking to your workmates，try not to look at the clock very often.
Bad body posture
Having a bad posture such as dropped shoulders or a lower neck can mean that you are not interested in what is going on around you. 4 Also，keep your head high.
Weak handshake
A weak handshake means that you don't care much about the person you are shaking hands with.Try to greet the people with a firm (有力的) handshake.However，don't forget that a handshake that is too firm can be impolite. 5
A．Therefore，try to find the right balance.
B．Nod your head to show that you are listening.
C．It looks like you are not interested in being there.
D．This shows that you have confidence in yourself.
E．This is generally considered as a position of defence.
F．It is important to stand or sit up straight when speaking to somebody.
G．It also shows that you are not confident or show no interest in the topic.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了在工作中应该避免的几种身体语言。
1．G [由该空前的“When speaking with a workmate，avoiding eye contact makes you look unprofessional”可知，和同事说话时避免目光接触会让你看起来不够专业。G项内容是：这也表明你不自信或是对话题没有兴趣，所以符合此处语境。]
2．E [由该空前的“Crossing your arms shows that you are not open to others and that you want to put a distance between yourself and them”可知，将双手交叉于胸前是一种防备的姿势，故选E项。]
3．C [由该空前的“you are in a hurry or would rather be somewhere else”可知，不停地看表会让对方觉得你不想再待下去了，故选C项。]
4．F [由该空前的“dropped shoulders or a lower neck”和该空后的“Also，keep your head high”可知，讲话时站直或是坐正非常重要，故选F项。]
5．A [由该空前的“Try to greet the people...can be impolite”可知，和他人握手时要把握好力度，故选A项。]

【语篇解读】 你的身体语言能给出许多信息。
1．Based [考查非谓语动词。it can be seen whether you are self-confident为句子的主干，此处应用base的非谓语动词形式，和后面的on your body language一起作状语，be based on意为“以……为基础”。故填Based。]

8．seconds [考查名词复数。a few修饰可数名词的复数形式，故填seconds。]
9．uses [考查主谓一致和时态。根据语境可知此处用一般现在时，everybody作主语，谓语动词要用单数形式，故填uses。]
