Ⅱ.阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Dogs are able to help all sorts of people with disabilities live their lives.Now a man from the United Kingdom has made a dog-controlled washing machine so that dogs can help these people with their laundry too!
John Middleton of laundry company JTM invented the “Woof to Wash” washing machine that makes it easier for people with disabilities to get their clothes clean.
Loading, starting, and emptying regular washing machines involves movements that most of us don't think twice about and take for granted.But doing laundry can be difficult for people who have autism(孤独症), are blind, have learning disabilities, or have limited movement in their hands.
“We developed this machine because mainstream products with complex digital controls seldom meet the needs of the disabled, ” explained Middleton.
“But then I saw a video from the charity Support Dogs, where a dog strips a bed and loads the washing machine.I was completely blown away and instantly thought I could invent a machine where the dog does everything.So I got in touch with Support Dogs and they loved the idea.They said it would be a huge help to their severely disabled users.”
With Middleton's washer, support dogs of all shapes and sizes can be trained to load the clothes，bark to turn it on, and open the door with a push of a paw and pull a string to unload the washing.
The dogs are currently being trained by Support Dogs, and, for now，they will only be available to the UK citizens with disabilities.
JTM's website says that, “Plans are underway for this groundbreaking machine to improve the quality of life and independence for thousands of people with wide ranging disabilities across the UK.”
( )1.According to Middleton, the common washing machines ________.
A．are designed for special purposes
B．are completely controlled by themselves
C．are produced digitally for people to use
D．are difficult for the disabled to operate
( )2.If the dog wants to empty washing machines，he should ________.
A．bark to the machine B．open the door
C．pull a string D．bite a button on the machine
( )3.What do we know about the “Woof to Wash” washing machine?
A．Any dogs can be trained to operate it.
B．It is widely sold in England at present.
C．Dogs for it are being trained by John.
D．It is designed especially for the dogs.
( )4.The best title for the passage may be “________”．
A．A Washing Machine Designed by a Disabled
Person
B．The Dog-Friendly Washing Machine
C．The Latest Washing Machine in the World
D．The Machine Specially Designed for Dogs
【答案与解析】
1．D 细节理解题。根据第四段的“because mainstream products…the disabled”可知，我们平时使用的洗衣机对于那些残疾人来说很不方便。
2．C 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“pull a string to unload the washing”可知，经过训练的狗，只要拽一根绳子就可以让洗衣机中的衣服出来。
3．A 细节理解题。结合倒数第三段的“support dogs of all shapes and sizes can be trained to… unload the washing”可知，任何狗，只要经过训练都可以使用这种新型的洗衣机。
4．B 标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了一种新型的、专供残疾人使用的洗衣机，这种洗衣机可以利用狗来操作，从而大大地方便了残疾人。
Ⅲ.七选五阅读(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。
For hundreds of years, people have been wondering about the strange places that they seem to visit in their sleep.__1__ However, they have been valued as necessary to a person's health and happiness.Historically people thought dreams contained messages from God.It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams scientifically believing that they tell about a person's character.__2__ He believed that dreams allow a person to express fantasies or fears, which would be socially unacceptable in real life.
The second theory to become popular was Carl Jung's compensation theory Jung, a former student of Freud, said that the purpose of a dream is not to hide something, but rather to communicate it to the dreamer.__3__ Thus, people who think too highly of themselves may dream about falling; those who think too little of themselves dream of being heroes.
Using more recent research, William Domhoff from the University of California found that dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop in humans.__4__ Until they reach age five, they cannot express very well what their dreams are about.Once people become adults, there is little or no change in their dreams.The dreams of men and women differ.For instance, the characters that appear in the dreams of men are often other men, and often involve physical aggression.
The meaning of dreams continues to be difficult to understand.__5__ If you dream that a loved one is going to die, do not panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that your loved one is going to die.
A．Dreams make up for what is lacking in waking life.
B．However, people should not take their dreams as reality.
C．They have been considered as meaningless nighttime journeys.
D．It gives scientists chances to better understand human mind.
E．Children do not dream as much as adults.
F．They think their mind is trying to tell them something.
G．First, there was Sigmund Freud's theory.
【解题导语】本文介绍了研究人员对于做梦的一些理论。
1．C 由 “However, they have been valued as necessary to a person's, health and happiness.”可知，这里意思是，它们被认为是没有意义的夜间旅行，选C。
2．G 由 “He believed that dreams allow a person to express fantasies or fears, which would be socially unacceptable in real life.”可知，这里意思是首先，是Sigmund Freud的理论，选G。
3．A 由 “Thus, people who think too highly of themselves may dream about falling; those who think too little of themselves dream of being heroes.”可知，这里意思是，梦会弥补醒来的生活中欠缺的东西，选A。
4．E 由 “Until they reach age five, they cannot express very well what their dreams are about.”可知，孩子做梦不像成人那么多，选E。
5．B 由 “If you dream that a loved one is going to die, do not panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that your loved one is going to die.” 可知，这里意思是：然而，人们不要把梦当成现实，选B。

Ⅰ.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
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。
An actor had already 1.________(be) out of work for 15 years because he always forgot his lines.Then one day he got a phone call from a director 2.________ wanted him for a small part in a play.All he 3.________(have) to say was “Jim! I hear the train coming！” After several sleepless 4.________(night), the actor decided 5.________(take) the role.Opening night arrived, and while he was waiting 6.________(nervous) backstage, the actor practised over 7.________over again, “Jim! I hear the train coming! Jim! I hear the train coming…” The time for his scene finally came.As 8.________ actor came onto the stage, he heard a noise 9.________(come) from the distance, getting nearer and 10.________(near)．He turned around and asked the director, “What's that noise？”
【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，一位失业了15年的演员有了登台的机会，但他却把唯一的台词忘记了。
1．been 本句中系动词be的过去分词been与助动词had构成过去完成时。句意：因为总是忘记台词，这位演员已经失业了15年。
2．that/who 定语从句的先行词是“a director”，关系代词that/who指代先行词，引导定语从句并在句中作主语。
3．had 本文讲述的是过去发生的事情，全文以一般过去时为主。在电影里，他要说的是“Jim! I hear the train coming！”。
4．nights 名词night是一个可数名词，前面有several修饰，应该使用复数形式nights。句意：经过几个不眠之夜，他决定承担这个角色。
5．to take 动词短语decide to do sth.“决定做某事”；本句中不定式“to take the role”作动词decide的宾语。句意：经过几个不眠之夜，他决定承担这个角色。
6．nervously 在英语中副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子。本句中副词nervously作状语修饰谓语动词“was waiting”。
7．and 短语over and over again“反复”。句意：他紧张地在后台等待的时候，一次又一次反复练习他的台词“Jim! I hear the train coming！”
8．the 不定冠词a/an表示泛指，定冠词the表示特指。本句中定冠词the特指上文提到的这位演员。
9．coming 本句中动词短语“come from…”与noise构成主动关系，使用现在分词作定语修饰noise，相当于定语从句“which came from…”。
10．nearer 并列连词and要连接两个并列成分，本句中and连接两个比较级nearer。句意：他听见来自远处的噪音，变得越来越近。
Ⅱ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2分，满分16分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Some unusual words describe how a person spends his or her time.For example, someone who likes to spend a lot of time sitting or lying down while watching television is sometimes called a couch potato.A couch is a piece of furniture that people sit on while watching television.
Robert Armstrong, an artist from California, developed the term “couch potato” in 1976.Several years later, he listed the term as a trademark with the United States government. Mr.Armstrong also helped write a funny book about life as a full-time television watcher.It is called the “Official Couch Potato Handbook”．
Couch potatoes enjoy watching television just as mouse potatoes enjoy working on computers.A computer mouse is the device that moves the pointer, or cursor, on a computer screen.The description of mouse potato became popular in 1993.American writer Alice Kahn is said to have invented the term to describe young people who spend a lot of time using computers.
Too much time inside the house using a computer or watching television can cause someone to get cabin fever.A cabin is a simple house usually built far away from the city.People go to a cabin to relax and enjoy quiet time.
Cabin fever is not really a disease.However, people can experience boredom and restlessness if they spend too much time inside their homes.This is especially true during the winter when it is too cold or snowy to do things outside.Often children get cabin fever if they cannot go outside to play.So do their parents.This happens when there is so much snow that schools and even offices and stores are closed.
Some people enjoy spending a lot of time in their homes to make them nice places to live.This is called nesting or cocooning.Birds build nests out of sticks to hold their eggs and baby birds.Some insects build cocoons around themselves for protection while they grow and change.Nests and cocoons provide security for wildlife.So people like the idea of nests and cocoons, too.
The terms cocooning and nesting became popular more than twenty years ago.They describe people buying their first homes and filling them with many things.These people then had children.
Now these children are grown-up and have left the nest.They are in college.Or they are married and starting families of their own far away.Now these parents are living alone without children in their empty nest.They have become empty nesters.
( )1.Which of the following was first used?
A．Couch potato. B．Cocooning.
C．Mouse potato. D．Nesting.
( )2.________refers to a person who spends much time on computer.
A．A couch potato B．A nester
C．A mouse potato D．An empty nester
( )3.Why can most people easily get cabin fever in winter?
A．Because they are addicted to computer games.

【答案与解析】
1．A 细节理解题。由第二段第一句“Robert Armstrong, an artist from California, developed the term ‘couch potato’ in 1976.”可知，couch potato是在1976年第一次被使用，因此A项正确。第三段第三句“The description of mouse potato became popular in 1993.”告诉我们，mouse potato在1993年才流行，倒数第二段告诉我们，cocooning和nesting是20多年前才开始流行的。
2．C 细节理解题。由第三段第一句“Couch potatoes enjoy watching television just as mouse potatoes enjoy working on computers.”可知答案。
3．C 推理判断题。由第五段第三句“This is especially true during the winter when it is too cold or snowy to do things outside.”可知答案。
4．D 主旨大意题。根据本文主要内容及第一段第一句可知答案。
B
Privacy is translated as “yin si” in Chinese.Traditionally, in the Chinese mind, “yin si” is associated with that which is closed or unfair.If someone is said to have “yin si”， meddlers (好事者) will be attracted to pry (刺探) into his or her affairs.So people always state that they don't have “yin si”．
On the contrary, Americans often declare their intention to protect their privacy.Their understanding of privacy is that others have no right to pry into things which belong to themselves alone and have nothing to do with others.One who is too curious and who spreads rumors is said to violate the right to privacy.
In the evening, Sonia and I went to a bar for dinner.In China, when people mention bars, something bad usually comes to mind.But here, the bar was a quiet and tastefully laid out place.People spoke quite softly, afraid of interrupting their neighbors, and sat face to face as they drank, sometimes three or five persons sitting together.
This sort of atmosphere was totally different from my preconception, so I wanted to take a picture.Sonia stopped me：“Don't you see these people are pouring out their hearts? Maybe they are colleagues, friends, or lovers.They came here looking for a peaceful place free from interruption by others.They wouldn't want to leave any trace of their having come here.So taking their pictures would be a serious violation of their right to privacy.”
Is there privacy between husband and wife? One of Sonia's friends married a talented Chinese man, but recently she became so angry that she wanted a divorce.The reason was that her husband had opened one of her letters and looked through her purse.The husband didn't realize that this is not tolerated in the US.He thought that being a couple was like being one person; why couldn't he see the letter or the contents of the purse? Truly, everyone, even those living as a couple, needs room — not only in space, but in the heart.
( )5.Sonia stopped me when I wanted to take a picture in the bar because ________.
A．taking pictures in a bar was not allowed in America
B．taking pictures in a bar would interrupt the neighbors
C．people who came here are colleagues, friends or lovers
D．taking pictures in a bar would violate other people's right to privacy
( )6.Which of the following is NOT the Americans' understanding of privacy?
A．There is privacy even between couples.
B．The right to privacy shouldn't be violated by others.
C．Other people have no right to pry into his or her affairs.
D．Privacy is connected with something that is unfair and bad.
( )7.According to the passage, we can do the followings in America EXCEPT________.
A．declare that we have privacy B．take pictures in a national park
C．ask others about their marriage D．go to a bar with friends
( )8.What is the main idea of the passage?
A．“Privacy” is different in China and America.
B．Everyone in every country needs room for himself.
C．Everyone has the right to protect his own privacy.
D．There is privacy between husband and wife in America.
【解题导语】由于中美文化背景不同，价值观不同，人们常常在“隐私权”方面引发冲突，这就需要我们了解文化内涵，尊重对方隐私，即使夫妻之间也不例外。
5．D 细节理解题。由第四段最后两句“They wouldn't want to leave any trace of their having come here.So taking their pictures would be a serious violation of their right to privacy.”可知，Sonia阻止“我”是因为“我的”做法侵犯了别人的隐私。
6．D 细节理解题。在传统中国观念里，隐私是见不得人的事，但在美国却恰恰相反，隐私并非是见不得人的事，所以选D项。
7．C 细节理解题。根据文章和英语学习背景知识可知，在美国询问别人的薪水、婚否都会触及别人的隐私。
8．A 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了中美对隐私的不同理解。

课件27张PPT。Period Three Grammar在复合句中起名词作用的从句叫名词性从句。名词性从句包括主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。其常用的连接词有：连接代词what，which，who，whoever，whatever，whichever等；连接副词when，where，why，how等；从属连词that, whether, if等。名词性从句连接代词一般在从句中作主语、宾语、表语、定语等；连接副词一般在从句中作状语；从属连词that在句子中既不作成分也没有意义；whether/if在从句中不作成分，但表示疑问意义。名词性从句的连接词大多不能省略(that引导宾语从句除外)。1．主语从句
That he will come to the conference has excited every one of us.
他要来参加会议使我们每一个人都十分激动。
It is certain that Pam will lose her license.
现在看来帕姆一定会丢掉执照的。
It is a pity that you didn't attend the lecture yesterday.

Whoever breaks the rule must be punished.
无论谁违反了规则都必须受到惩罚。that引导的主语从句可用形式主语it代替，常见的句式有：
(1)It is/was＋形容词(necessary，likely，wrong，important，certain，strange等)＋that从句
(2)It is/was＋名词(a pity，a shame，a fact，an honour，no wonder等)＋that从句【拓展】(3)It is/was＋过去分词(known，expected，believed, thought，hoped，said，reported，proved等)＋that从句
(4)It＋特殊动词(seem，appear，happen，matter等)＋that从句2．宾语从句

我被告知这场音乐会的所有票全卖光了。
I think it necessary that we take plenty of boiled water every day.
我认为每天多喝开水是有必要的。

他没有告诉我们他在哪里工作。
You can buy whatever you need in this shop.
在这家商店你可以买到你需要的任何东西。
I wonder if (whether) the news is true or not.
我不知道这个消息是否属实。(1)that引导的宾语从句可以用形式宾语it代替。
(2)hate，like，see to，take…for granted等动词(短语)的宾语从句常用it作形式宾语，而把真正的宾语从句放在句尾。【拓展】3．表语从句
The question is whether we can reduce the cost of the product.
问题是我们能否降低产品的成本。
This is what I am interested in.
这就是我所感兴趣的。
That was where we camped last time.
那就是上次我们野营的地方。
It looks as if it is going to rain.
看来要下雨了。
The reason why he didn't come this morning was that it was raining heavily.
他今天上午没来的原因是雨下得很大。主语是reason时，表语从句的连接词用that不用because。【拓展】4．同位语从句
The fact that some countries are still suffering from poverty is really a great problem to the world.
有一些国家仍然贫穷对整个世界来说是一个大问题。
I have no idea when they will be back and settle down.
我不知道他们什么时候回来定居。同位语从句常跟在belief，doubt，explanation，hope，idea，news，opinion，possibility，thought，wish，fact，promise，suggestion，warning等名词之后。【拓展】5．名词性从句应该注意的几点
(1)引导宾语从句时不能省略that的情况：
①动词后有两个或两个以上的宾语从句时，紧跟动词的宾语从句可以省去that，其余的宾语从句前的that一般都不能省去。
He said (that) the exhibition was excellent and that he wanted to visit it once more.
他说展览非常好看，他还想再看一次。②谓语和宾语从句之间有插入语时，宾语从句前的that不能省去。
I noticed，for the first time，that our minister was wearing his fine green coat.
我注意到我们的部长第一次穿上了他的漂亮的绿色大衣。③在宾语从句中，that之后紧接着作主语或作定语的that或this时，that不能省去。
He thought that that would be a good chance for him to go to visit the world－famous scientist.
他认为那可能是他拜访那位世界著名科学家的一次好机会。
④宾语从句紧接在间接宾语后时，that不能省去。
The teacher advised us that we should pay more attention to reading and writing.
老师建议我们应该多注意一下阅读和写作。
⑤it作形式宾语，宾补之后引导宾语从句的that不能省去。
We all believed it true that Mr. Smith was elected chairman of the club.
史密斯先生当选为俱乐部主席的消息我们都信以为真。(2)that引导的同位语从句与定语从句的区别：
同位语从句说明其前的名词的内容，连词that只起连接作用，在从句中不担当任何句子成分，且不能省略；而定语从句修饰、限制其前的名词，关系代词that在从句中作宾语(可省略)或主语。The news that our team has won the game was true.
我们队赢了那场比赛的消息是真的。(同位语从句)
(3)名词性从句中if与whether的区别：
if一般不能引导主语从句和表语从句，而whether则可以。在宾语从句里if与whether可通用，但若与or not搭配，多用whether。【完成句子】

A farmer grew some vegetables in his garden. One day his wife was ill and he had no money. He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market. The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town. But it was snowing hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out， it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.
On his way home he saw a person lying on the snow. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly， without taking the baskets with him.
The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets， an officer asked， “Are these yours？”“Yes， sir.” the farmer answered timidly(胆怯地).“Have you killed the man？”“No， no， sir.” the farmer said in a hurry.“When did you see the dead man？”“About seven last evening.”“Did you see who killed the man？”“No， sir.”The officer brought out a knife and asked， “Have you seen it yet？”“No， sir.”The officer became angry and told the policeman to beat him up and sent him into prison. The officer wanted to trap the farmer into the confession(供认)， but the farmer didn't admit he was the murderer.

【答案】
One possible version：
Paragraph 1：
The officer was so angry that he asked the policeman to beat him up again. The farmer was very afraid. He thought he would be sentenced to death for killing someone， but he didn't. He was innocent. He must tell people the truth， but no one could hear his voice. He hoped that someone could come and save him.
Paragraph 2：
The farmer was lucky. A few days later， a young man came to the police station with a lot of journalists， saying that he saw the murderer. It was the police officer who killed the man on the snow！ He saw the police officer use a knife to kill the man late in the evening. He was so frightened and ran away. The young man thought the farmer was innocent. So he took the great courage to expose the real criminal. After the investigation， the young man was right. The police officer was sent to prison and the policeman who beat up the farmer was punished. The brave young man was regarded as the hero by the villagers.

【解题导语】本文讲述了卖报纸的销售员虽然一直对杰克很不礼貌，但是杰克对他依然有礼的故事，启发我们不要让他人的行为决定我们的行为。
1．C 杰克温柔地问候了卖报纸的销售员。
2．B 根据常识可知销售员应该是提供服务的。
3．C 当杰克要求买晚报时，销售员甚至从未抬头看过他。
4．A 根据文章第一句“Tom with his friend Jack went to his favorite newspaper stand.”可知收到报纸后，杰克有礼貌地对他笑了笑并祝销售员周末愉快。
5．A 根据“…that the two men had completed their business”可知，完成交易后松了口气最为恰当。
6．C 根据上文“…but in return he received poor __2__.The salesman never even looked up at his customer when he __3__ the late-night edition…The salesman made an unclear sound and seemed __5__ that the two men had completed their business.”可知，销售员对杰克很粗鲁。
7．B 汤姆问道：“他对你总是这么粗鲁吗？”杰克回答道：“不幸的是，确实如此”。
8．C polite跟后面的friendly前后照应。
9．D 汤姆又问了一个问题，杰克应该是继续说道。
10．B 根据上句“Why are you so nice when he is so unfriendly to you？”可知，此处Jack应该解释。
11．A 杰克说他不想让销售员决定他的行为。
12．B 根据上文“Because I don't want him to decide how I am going to __11__.”可知，此处是提出问题：谁来决定你的行为？
13．C 是你所处的环境还是生活中那些不随和的人决定你的答复呢？
14．A 当我们允许我们的矛盾来控制我们，我们表现得好像摆脱掉我们的麻烦是唯一的优先选择。
15．B “When we allow our conflicts to __14__ us, we behave as if getting rid of our difficulties is our only priority.”与“it doesn't really matter how we treat one another”是因果关系，故用therefore。
16．C 根据下文“Instead, I want to let him know how __18__ I am because of his action.”可知，有人在给“我”制造麻烦。
17．B 有人在给“我”制造麻烦，因此“我”会失去耐心、自控和善良。
18．B 根据上句“This __16__ is causing me problems right now so I don't care about exercising __17__， self-control，and loving kindness.”可知，“我”想让他知道因为他的行为“我”有多么生气。
19．D 但是我们处理矛盾的方式将影响我们的生活很长时间。
20．B 你是仅会对印象深刻的危机做出回应还是你更关注你会成为怎样的人所具有的价值？
Ⅱ.阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
There is one language that is used in every country in the world.The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat.It is everybody's second language.It is easy to understand, although you can't hear it.It is sign language.
When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language.When you smile at someone, you are saying “I want to be friendly，” but you are not using speech.You are using sign language.When you raise your hand in class, you are saying “Please ask me.I think I know the correct answer.”Babies who can't talk can point at things.They are using sign language.A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands.He is using sign language.
Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in education for deaf people.He invented a finger alphabet.It is still in use.People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them.Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries.The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D．C．
Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people.The newsreader tells the news in sign language.At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don't spell every word.Sometimes they use hand signs.When they put two hands together, it means sandwich.They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house.One finger in front of an actor's mouth can mean quiet.You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed.And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water.
How many hand signs do you use every day?
( )1.Which of the following about sign language is TRUE?
A．It is a special language used in a few countries in the world.
B．It is a way to express one's ideas without words.

C．The French priest Charles invented sign language.
D．Even babies are using sign language.
( )4.The passage is mainly about ________.
A．an introduction to sign language B．an introduction to hand language
C．a famous priest in France D．how to use sign language
【解题导语】有一种世界各地通用的语言——手语。本文对手语作了简单的介绍。
1．B 细节理解题。由第一段第一句可知，“sign language”在每个国家都使用，故A项不正确；由第一段第二句可知，任何人都可以用，故C项不正确；由第一段第四句可知，人们听不见“sign language”，故D项不正确。故选B项。
2．C 细节理解题。由第二段第二句可知微笑可以表示友好。
3．D 细节理解题。由第三段和第五段可知，“hand signs”和“finger signs”都在被使用，故A项不正确；由第三段最后一句可知，在美国为聋哑人专门设立的大学只有一所，故B项不正确；由第三段第二句可知，此人发明的是“a finger alphabet”而不是“sign language”，故C项不正确。由第二段第五、六句可知，婴儿也在使用“sign language”，故D项正确。
4．A 主旨大意题。由第一段可知本文是对“sign language”的简单介绍。
Ⅲ.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
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。
Keeping a diary in English is an 1.__________ (effect) way to improve our English writing ability.

As far as I'm concerned, my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary 9.__________ easy reach.Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary.We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary.In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for 10.__________ development of our writing skills.
【解题导语】本文是议论文。作者认为用英语写日记是提高英语写作能力的有效方法并列举了这种方法的优势。
1．effective 所填词修饰名词way，表示“有效的方法”，故填effective。
2．Compared 分析句子结构可知，compare的逻辑主语是it，两者之间为被动关系，句中已有谓语动词，故此处填compared作状语。注意首字母大写。
3．less and连接两个并列成分，由shorter可知，此处应填little的比较级less。
4．thinking 在介词of后，故用thinking。
5．gradually 修饰整个句子，作状语，故用副词。
6．difficulties 根据所填词前的many可知，此处应填difficulties。difficulty作“难题，难事”讲时是可数名词。
7．it 分析句子结构可知，此处真正的主语是that引导的从句，从句中缺少作形式主语的it，故此处填it。
8．to put 句型“It is＋形容词＋for sb.＋to do sth.”表示“做某事对某人来说是……的”，是固定句式。
9．within within reach意为“在手边；伸手可及的”，为固定搭配。
10．the 此处特指“写作技巧的提高”，故用the。

How have you been getting on recently? I'm very glad to learn that you and your peers have chosen Chinese as your second foreign language.
Here I've got some advice on how to learn Chinese well and I hope it is helpful.Unlike English, Chinese characters have nothing to do with their pronunciation.To learn Chinese well, personally, I think it is very important to learn pinyin well.Try your best to listen to some standard Chinese tapes or watch Chinese films, which is very helpful.You should take every chance to talk with native Chinese speakers.If you have some other questions, please tell me and I will try my best to help you.

第一部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节 (共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分33分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
As sea levels climb, even Washington, D．C．could see more frequent and widespread flooding at high tide (潮汐)．
Strong storms and high winds sometimes bring floods to coastal areas.But cities and towns along the US East Coast are flooding even in calm and sunny weather.Among them is Maryland’s capital Annapolis.Tourists there must sometimes walk through water flooding downtown streets surrounding the harbor.Sometimes, water covers roads in Atlantic City, N．J.Even the yards and basements of coastal homes near New York City sometimes flood.
All are suffering from this trend — normal high tides surpass (超过) a rising sea level.
Sea levels have climbed, on average, about 20 centimeters (8 inches) over the past 135 years.And a sharp increase in tidal flooding is one of the more visible impacts affecting many coastal areas, notes William Sweet, an oceanographer (海洋学家)．
Sweet and his co-workers recently analyzed data from 45 tide gauges (计量表) along the US coasts.These tools record the changing heights of tides as they rise and fall.From these data, Sweet’s team calculated the number of “troublesome floods” in various coastal cities.These floods, Sweet explains, typically occur when water level is about 30 centimeters (1 foot) above the historic level of the highest high tides.In June 2014, the team reported finding a growing rise in these flooding events.
In Charleston, S．C．, from 1957 to 1963, the city experienced troublesome floods an average of 4.6 days per year.But from 2007 to 2013, the occurring rate of troublesome floods jumped five times.Annapolis city was even more serious.From 1957 to 1963, troublesome floods were roughly 3.8 days per year.From 2007 to 2013, the average was 10 times higher — 39.3 days a year.
“Over the next few decades, climate change probably drives sea levels even higher，” Sweet says.“So today’s flooding problems promise to become only more widespread and frequent.”
( )1.Paragraph 2 is mainly developed by ________.
A．time B．space
C．characters D．examples
( )2.According to data in Paragraph 5, it can be inferred that ________.
A．the changes of heights of tides are usually in a small range
B．the number of troublesome floods gradually gets less
C．there has been a growing rise in these analyzed flooding events
D．the floods in coastal cities often occur when water level is above 1 foot
( )3.The ultimate cause of more flooding problems is the fact that ________.
A．the sea levels have been climbing
B．the weather conditions are not stable
C．climate has changed over the years
D．people are living too close to harbors
( )4.What is the text mainly about?
A．A flood research. B．Sweet’s team.
C．American oceanographers. D．The US East Coast.

4．A 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，本文介绍的是洪水方面的研究，A项点明大意，故选A项。
B
Sometimes people express themselves even when they don’t talk.Gestures are the “silent language” of every culture.We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say.It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.
In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction.The handshake must be firm.If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder.Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans.When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close.They will move back to have their space.If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, “Pardon me” or “Excuse me”．
Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking.If you don’t do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested.But when you stare at someone, it is not polite.
For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very good, or well done.Thumbs-down means the opposite.To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above.To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper.It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger (食指)．Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture’s body language is sometimes confusing.If you don’t know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.
( )5.From the first paragraph we can learn that________.
A．gestures don’t mean anything while talking
B．gestures can help us to express ourselves
C．we can learn a language well without body language
D．only American people can use gestures
( )6.In the United States, people often ________.
A．show their friendship by touching each other
B．show their friendship by glancing at each other
C．say “Pardon me” to each other when they are talking
D．get uncomfortable when you sit close to them
( )7.If you talk with an American friend, it’s polite to________.
A．look up and down at your friend
B．look at the other person in the eyes
C．hide your opinion
D．look at your watch now and then
【解题导语】文化不同，国度相异，肢体语言不同。对于美国人而言，紧紧握手、合理对视、竖大拇指等都表示友好礼貌。但分辨一种文化的肢体语言是令人困惑的，如果无所适从，那就微笑吧！
5．B 推理判断题。从第一段“We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say.”可知。
6．D 细节理解题。从第三段“Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close.”可推知。
7．B 细节理解题。从第四段“Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking.”可推知。

For the past two years, my teaching partner and I have set up a Poetry Cafe at our school and invited parents and other special guests to come and hear students recite their favorite poems aloud.After the students study poetry in their reading workshop and write poetry in their writing workshop for a month, we celebrate their finished pieces by opening the Poetry Cafe and having students invite their parents and other family members to an evening event.
We transform a common area of our school into our Poetry Cafe.We create a stage with a microphone for the student readers, serve snacks and coffee, and turn the lights down to set the mood.Students are asked to wear black shirts and jeans to honor the “beatnik culture” of the 1950s and early 1960s, when poetry readings at small coffee shops were popular.
Before planning the event, you will need to determine which part of your school would be the best place to set up a cafe.A regular classroom may not be large enough to seat all of the guests, but you do not want to pick a place (such as a gym or a dining hall) that is so large that it loses the feeling of a crowded coffee shop, either.We use a group discussion area in our building.
One at a time, we call the students’ names.They take their place on the stage and read their poems aloud.Instead of clapping at the end of each poem, guests are asked to snap (打响指) their fingers in honor of the true “beatnik culture”．Each student reads two poems written by himself/herself and one poem by an author he/she studied in the poetry workshop.
Throughout the student readings we have “open mic” breaks when parents and other family members can read aloud their own poems or read a poem from a favorite author or book.The students love it!
( )8.The Poetry Cafe is opened ________.
A．only for students who have a special interest in poetry
B．to teach students how to write poems
C．as a way to improve parent-child relationships
D．to give students a chance to show what they have learnt about poetry
( )9.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the “beatnik culture”？
A．It is still very popular now.
B．Black shirts and jeans are considered as its features.
C．It seldom took place at coffee shops.
D．It forbade snapping one’s fingers.
( )10.Which of the following things are done at the Poetry Cafe?
①Students write new poems on the spot.
②Parents read their favorite poems.
③Students give all kinds of performances.
④Members enjoy snacks and coffee.
A．①② B．①③
C．②③ D．②④
【解题导语】很多学生并不喜欢学习诗歌，老师应该怎么办呢？也许下面这篇文章可以给大家一些提示。
8．D 推理判断题。从第一段的“After the students study poetry in their reading workshop and write poetry in their writing workshop for a month, we celebrate their finished pieces by opening the Poetry Cafe…”可知答案。
9．B 推理判断题。从第二段的“Students are asked to wear black shirts and jeans to honor the ’beatnik culture’ …”可知B项正确。
10．D 细节理解题。从第二段的“We create a stage with a microphone for the student readers, serve snacks and coffee”和最后一段的“Throughout the student readings we have ’open mic’ breaks when parents and other family members can read aloud their own poems or read a poem from a favorite author or book.”可知，②④两项包括在活动中。
第二节 (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。
One of the common complaints we hear from the people around us are problems they are facing.Every day and everywhere there are problems.Many times we find it hard to stay happy.When one problem is solved，another one comes up.How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis.The three steps are：
Get the facts.
Why is it so important to get the facts？Unless you have the facts，you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently.Without the facts，all you can do is wondering around in confusion.It is not an easy job to get facts.When you are worried，your emotions are riding high.__11__
When trying to get the facts，you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person.__12__ You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree.Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case.You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.
__13__
Whenever you are worried，write down the questions that make you worry.And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step.For example，what am I worrying about? What can I do about it？Here is what I’m going to do about it.After carefully weighing all the facts，you can calmly come to a decision.
Act on that decision.
__14__ How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you？Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy.Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry.
__15__ If you know a situation is beyond your power，say to yourself：“It is so；it can’t be otherwise.”Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness.Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.
A．Analyze the facts.
B．Accept what can’t be avoided.
C．Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.
D．This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.
E．There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.
F．But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.
G．Unless you take your action，all your fact-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.
【解题导语】本文讲述如何解决生活中许多问题。先要收集信息，分析，再采取行动，同时也要学会接受一些不可避免的事情。
11．F 根据下一段讲的是了解事实的两种方法，故选F项，“这有两个方法可以以清楚和客观的方式帮你看清事实”引起下文。
12．D 根据前一句提到 “When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person(当你了解这个事实时，你可以假装为其他人收集信息而不是为自己)”可知，这样可以帮你得到冷静和公平的证据，故选D项。
13．A 根据第四段提到 “Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry.And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step(当你焦虑时，写下让你焦虑的问题，并写出所有你可能采取的各种步骤和每个步骤的可能结果)．”可知，这是在分析事实，故选A项。
14．G 根据标题所提到 “Act on that decision(就这个决定采取行动)”可知，G项“如果你不采取行动，你所有的发现与分析都是浪费”符合语境。
15．B 根据后面提到 “If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: ’It is so; it can’t be otherwise’(如果你知道这种状况超过你的能力，对自己说，“只能这样了”)．”可知，B项“接受一些不能避免的事情”符合语境。
第二部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)

【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。如今，越来越多的中学生在网上开通自己的微博。它为中学生提供了一个展示自己才能的平台，同时也是他们缓解压力的有效方法，但并非所有人都这么认为。
36．another 与上文的“For one thing”相对应，此处应用another。for one thing … for another …意为“一则……，再则……”。
37．pressure 根据空格前的形容词性物主代词their可知，空格处应填名词，故填pressure。
38．But 上文“these make it more and more popular with high school students”与下文“many parents and teachers hold a different view”之间存在转折关系，故填表示转折关系的并列连词but，且单词首字母必须大写。
39．which 根据下文的“should be used to study”可判断出，此处缺少主语，且指代前一句中的“a lot of time and energy”，故用which引导非限制性定语从句。
40．playing 根据语境可知，此处应用固定短语“play a role in”，再根据上文中的is并分析句子结构可知，此处应用进行时。故填playing。
41．meaningful 由下文的中心名词tool可知，此处应用形容词，故填meaningful。
42．when 由句中的关键信息词Only和“can we make a successful microblog”可知，此处为部分倒装，只有“only＋状语/状语从句”位于句首时才会出现此类情况，且此处表示只有当我们掌握这些技能时，我们才能成功地管理一个微博，故填连词when。
43．organizing 句子的主语we和所给动词organize之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，故此处应用现在分词。
44．itself 分析句子结构并结合提示词可知，此处应填itself。句意：事实上，微博本身是没有危害的。
45．that 分析句子结构可知，此处为强调句，强调了句子的主语“our attitude”，故用连接词that。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College， career， and life itself got in the way. In fact， Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit(追求) of the dreams. There， in the rush of his busy life， Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future， and nothing could stop him.
Over the phone， his mother told him， “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel(新闻影片) as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.
“Jack， did you hear me？”
“Oh， sorry， Mom. Yes， I heard you. It's been so long since I thought of him. I'm sorry， but I honestly thought he died years ago，”Jack said.
“Well， he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were doing. He'd reminisce (回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence'as he put it， ”Mom told him.
“I loved that old house he lived in，”Jack said. “You know， Jack， after your father died， Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man's influence in your life，” she said.
“He's the one who taught me carpentry(木工手艺). I wouldn't be in this business if it weren't for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important. Mom， I'll be there for the funeral.” Jack said.
Busy as he was， he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own， and most of his relatives had passed away.
The night before he had to return home， Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time， which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture， every piece of furniture. Jack stopped suddenly.
“What's wrong， Jack？”his Mom asked.
“The box is gone，” he said.
“What box？”Mom asked. “There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’，”Jack said. It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it， except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it. “Now I'll never know what was so valuable to him，” Jack said sadly.

Paragraph 1：
Returning to his office the next day， he found a package on his desk.
Paragraph 2：
Inside he found these words carved
【答案】
One possible version：
Paragraph 1：
Returning to his office the next day， he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention. It read， “Mr. Belser”. Jack tore open the package.
There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside， “Upon my death， please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bernett.
It's the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped(捆扎) to the letter. His heart was racing， and tears filling his eyes. Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover， he opened it.
Paragraph 2：
Inside he found these words carved： Jack， thanks for your time！ Belser. “Oh， My God！ This is the thing he valued most...” Jack held the watch for a few minutes， then called his assistant and cancelled his appointments for the next two days. “Why？” his assistant asked. “I need some time to spend with my wife and son，” he said.
课件7张PPT。According to encyclopedia，human languages are usually referred to as natural languages，and the science of studying those falls under the linguistics (语言学)．A common progress for natural languages is that they are considered to be first spoken，then written，and then an understanding and explanation of their grammar is attempted.Languages live，die，move from place to place，and change with time.Any language that ceases to change or develop is categorized as a dead language.In an opposite way，any language that is in a continuous state of change is known as a living language or modern language.
Making a principled distinction between one language and another is usually impossible. For instance，there are a few dialects of German similar to some dialects of Dutch. The transition between languages within the same language family is sometimes gradual.Some like to make parallels with biology，where it is not possible to make a well－defined distinction between one species and the next.In either case，the difficulty may come from the interactions between languages and populations.
As a matter of fact，there are some concepts used to make better distinctions about the degrees of difference between languages and dialects.1．佳句仿写
①我把她当作我最好的朋友。
