My mother said to me,“Show ________ homework.”
A.her my B.me your
C.her your D.me his
解析:选B。间接引语中的her在直接引语中应和my一致,故用me,间接引语中的my在直接引语中应换成your。

9.The result of the examination shows ________.
A.what great progress did you make
B.why did you make such progress
C.such great progress you will make

—________.
A.He said that Lily is waiting for us
B.He said that Lily was waiting for us
C.He asked if Lily was waiting for them

Ⅳ.阅读理解
If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice:There are four skills in learning English.They are reading,listening,speaking,and writing.The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can.But your reading must be active.It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence,the meaning of the unfamiliar words,etc.There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you_come_across,but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them,for example in other passages or books,is enough.It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening,there are two choices:besides reading,you can listen every day for about 30 minutes.You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading,then you can catch up on your listening.Since you have lots of inputs in your mind,you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say.This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children.Their languages are easy.Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day.Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice,your speaking and writing will improve automatically,and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
1.According to the author,which should you improve first among the four skills
A.Reading and listening.
B.Reading and writing.
C.Writing and speaking.
D.Speaking and listening.
解析:选A。细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知,作者认为要想提高说和写的能力,首先要掌握读和听。
2.To improve your reading,when you read you should________.
A.look up all the new words in the dictionary
B.think about what you are reading actively
C.spend more time studying grammars
D.copy as many words and sentences as possible
解析:选B。细节理解题。由第二段第二、三句可知,在阅读的过程中要积极思考。
3.The underlined phrase“come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced be “________”.
A.meet by accident B.discover
C.find on purpose D.look for
解析:选A。词义理解题。此处是告诉读者没有必要去理解遇到的所有的不熟悉的单词,由此推知come across指“偶然遇到”。
4.The passage is mainly about how to________.
A.choose suitable listening materials
B.deal with new words in reading
C.improve your English as quickly as possible
D.become fluent in speaking and writing English
解析:选D。主旨大意题。文章第一句话便点明主题,接着用大量篇幅阐述了如何通过提高阅读和听力技能,从而带动说和写的技能,成为a fluent English speaker。

第二部分 英语知识运用(共两节, 满分45分)
第一节 单项填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
21.—Sorry,sir.I didn’t quite follow you.
—________.I’ll explain it to you later.
A.Don’t worry B.Come on
C.That’s right D.Don’t mention it
解析:选A。根据答语I’ll explain it to you later可知选A。本句意为:“别担心(Don’t worry),我回头跟你解释。”
22.—We are going there by________sea.
—Don’t you think it too slow?Why not take________train
A.the;/ B.the;the
C./;/ D./;the
解析:选D。by sea坐船;take the/a train坐火车,均指乘坐的交通工具。
23.Ten minutes later,a bus________and everybody got on it.
A.came up B.added up
C.looked up D.put up
解析:选A。考查短语辨析。come up在这里意为“到来”,符合句意:十分钟后,来了一辆车,每个人都上车了。add up加起来;look up查阅;put up展示,张贴。
24.As you can see,the number of cars on our roads________rising these days.
A.was keeping B.keep
C.keeps D.were keeping
解析:选C。句意:正如你所见,目前道路上汽车的数量在不断增加。the number of作主语时,谓语动词用单数,可排除B、D;再根据时间状语these days可知,描述的是现在的情况,所以选C。
25.Every minute must be made full use of________spoken English.
A.to practise B.practising
C.practise D.practised
解析:选A。本题中make full use of的宾语为every minute,其宾语前置,故用动词不定式短语充当目的状语。
26.She understood what I was talking about,________it was the first time we had spoken together.
A.whether B.even though
C.as though D.since
解析:选B。考查连词用法。even though“尽管;即使”;whether主要用来引导名词性从句;since“既然”引导时间或原因状语从句。主句意思是“她明白我在说什么”,从句的意思是“尽管那是我们第一次谈话”,只有B项符合语境。
27.My uncle knows several foreign languages,________English,French and Japanese.
A.for example B.for instance
C.such as D.that is
解析:选C。for example和such as都可当作“例如”解,但such as用来列举事物,表示对前面的复数名词部分起列举作用,一般不全部列出;for example用来举例说明;for instance用法同for example;that is意思是“换句话说;也就是说”。
28.As the project________at the meeting,it drew our attention.
A.comes up B.was coming up
C.came up D.had come up
解析:选C。由句意可知,该空所填谓语动词应该用一般过去时态,故C正确。
29.—Do you need any help,Lucy
—Yes.The job is________I could do myself.
A.more than B.less than
C.no more than D.not more than
解析:选A。more than“多于,超过”;less than“少于”;no more than“只不过”;not more than “至多,不多于”。根据句意,A为正确答案。
30.—What do you think________an important part in their lives
—Friends.
A.plays B.takes
C.makes D.acts
解析:选A。play a part in...表示“在……中起作用”,是固定短语,动词不能更换。另外,要注意句中的do you think是插入语。例如:Who do you think will go with the teacher?你认为谁会跟老师一起去?
31.Tonny’s parents thought he was at school,but________he was in a net bar.
A.actually B.especially
C.hopefully D.exactly
解析:选A。考查副词辨析。actually意为“事实上,实际上”;especially“尤其,特别”;hopefully“有希望地;充满希望地”;exactly“确切地”,只有A项符合句意。
32.Don’t respond to any e?mails________personal information,no matter how official they look.
A.searching B.asking

A.frequently B.gradually
C.certainly D.actually

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
What is language for?Some people seem to think it’s for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words-the longer the lists,the better.That’s wrong.Language is for the exchange(交流)of ideas and information.It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely.Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules,but they can’t speak correctly or fluently(流利地).They are afraid of making mistakes.One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language.Native speakers make mistakes and break rules,too.Bernard Shaw once wrote,“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make.They’re English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule,it is no longer a rule.What used to be wrong,becomes right.People not only make history,they make language.But a people can only make its own language.It can’t make another people’s language.So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar,but they shouldn’t overdo(做过头)it.They should put communication(交际)first.
56.Language is used to________.
A.express oneself
B.practise grammar rules
C.talk with foreigners only
D.learn lists of words
解析:选A。细节理解题。由第四句“Language is for the exchange of ideas and information.”可知语言是用来交流的,因此应选择express oneself,其含义是“表达自己的意图;让别人明白自己”。
57.Generally,when an American or an Englishman speaks English,he or she________.
A.never makes mistakes
B.often makes mistakes
C.can’t avoid making mistakes
D.always makes mistakes
解析:选C。文中提到“Native speakers make mistakes and break rules,too”,而且下文也提到类似的情况,所以答案为C项,“不可避免地犯错误”。
58.The sentence“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”means that________.
A.foreigners speak correct English
B.foreigners speak incorrect English
C.foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules
D.foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English
解析:选C。根据上下文可知,母语不是英语的人在学英语时,首先要学许多的语法规则,所以他们说话时总是套规则。
59.When we speak a foreign language,we should________.
A.speak in Chinese way
B.speak by the rules
C.speak to native speakers
D.not be afraid of making mistakes
解析:选D。推理判断题。通过文章我们知道语言的作用是交流,而且更明确在学习外语时,我们不仅要学语法,更重要的是学会使用这种语言交往,当然不能怕犯错误。
B
Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes?Let’s have a look.
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies.We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants.Sometimes,people may get caught with their pants down.They are found doing something they should not be doing.And,in every family,one person takes control.Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do.Then we say she wears the pants in the family.
Pants usually have pockets to hold things.Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket.Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants.If you have less money than usual,you may have to tighten your belt.
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much.I really take my hat off to them.Yet,when it comes to my own money,I spend it at the drop of a hat,which means I instantly spend it.
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes.People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are.I dislike such people.
My father is an important person.He runs a big company.He wears a suit and tie,and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms.Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly.But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve.
【解题导语】 本文向我们介绍了一些英语中与衣服有关的表达。
60.What is this passage mainly about
A.What pants mean in English.
B.Some special English expressions.
C.Some funny English expressions.
D.Some expressions related to clothes.
解析:选D。主旨大意题。通读全文,可知主要向我们介绍了一些英语中与衣服有关的表达,故选D。
61.Which of the following expressions can show someone is nervous
A.Get caught with one’s pants down.
B.Have ants in one’s pants.
C.Wear the pants in the family.
D.Burn a hole in one’s pocket.
解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第二段的We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants.可知应选B。
62.If we say someone has to tighten his belt,we probably mean he________.
A.has done something wrong
B.used to live a rich life
C.has put on the wrong pants
D.is short of money
解析:选D。词义猜测题。根据第三段的If you have less money than usual,you may have to tighten your belt.可知应选D。
63.Someone who spends his money at the drop of a hat most probably________.
A.doesn’t save money
B.earns much money
C.never wastes his money
D.spends more than he earns
解析:选A。推理判断题。根据前文的I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much.可知前面指的是那些会存钱的人,又根据yet的语境,可知后者是那种一有钱就会立即花钱的人,故选A。
C
If you want to help children develop language and speech skills,UCLA researchers say,listening to what they have to say is just as important as talking to them.
The effect of a conversation between a child and an adult is about six times as great as the effect of adult speech input (输入) alone,the researchers found.“Adults speaking to children helps language develop,but what matters much more is the interaction,”said the study’s lead author,Frederick Zimmerman,an associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of California,Los Angeles.The researchers also found that TV viewing didn’t have much of an effect-positively or negatively-as long as it wasn’t displacing conversations between an adult and a child.
The UCLA study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old.They represented a variety of incomes and education.The researchers found that,in an average day,children hear about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adult child conversations a day.
Assessed separately,factors positively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children.When looked at alone,TV was negatively associated with language development.But,when the three factors were analyzed together,the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.
“The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult,the better idea a parent has about where the child is,” Zimmerman said.“Although it’s mostly done unconsciously,parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes.They’ll also tailor their speech to the child.Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they’re doing,such as,“I’m putting on your pajamas now.But give your child the opportunity to talk,hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment,”she added.“If parents can carve out some conversation time-maybe at bath time or at dinner time-that’s a wonderful thing.”
【解题导语】 研究发现,父母和孩子之间的交谈对孩子语言的发展至关重要。这种交谈必须是双向的、互动的。
64.The researchers also found that TV viewing ________.
A.could have a positive effect on a child’s language development
B.had a little effect on a child’s language development
C.affected a child’s language development more negatively than positively
D.affected a child’s language development both negatively and positively
解析:选B。细节理解题。从文章第二段最后一句可知,看电视对孩子没有多少影响,无论是积极的还是消极的。
65.Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that ________.
A.parents should let their children talk most of the time
B.children should watch TV programs selectively
C.the conversation between parents and children should be two way
D.it’s no good for parents to correct their children’s mistakes when they are speaking
解析:选C。推理判断题。从文章第二段内容可知,Zimmerman 强调父母跟孩子之间交谈的双向性和互动性才是更重要的。
66.We can conclude from the last paragraph that ________.
A.parents should let a child repeat what he or she says
B.bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a child
C.parent child conversation can be carried out at any proper time
D.parents should leave a child talking alone
解析:选C。推理判断题。从文章最后一段可知,父母应该随时创造跟孩子交谈的机会,时间的选择是非常灵活的。
67.What would be the best title for the passage
A.Talk with kids,not at them
B.Let your children voice their own opinions
C.How to develop a child’s language ability
D.The importance of early child language development
解析:选A。主旨大意题。根据文章内容分析,文章强调父母和孩子之间的交流,而且强调交流的互动性,因此A项符合文章的主旨,适合作本文标题。
D
There are many differences between British English and American English.I used to teach a course about the differences between the two.We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but we have many differences in our common language.We have examples of the same words having very different meanings,differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different words for the same things.Here are some examples.
A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK.A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK.Crisps in the UK,are known as chips,but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in the US.In the UK,a pie can be made from either meat or fruit,while in the US pies are normally made from fruit;pot pies are made from meat.Most things are measured in grams and kilograms in the US,not pounds and ounces.
One very obvious(明显的)difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on.Petrol in the UK is gas in the US.The place where we fill up our cars,in the UK,is a garage;while in the US,it’s a gas station.The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house.In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US.
An elevator in the US is called a lift here,and the first floor in the US,is called the ground floor here,so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels.
I could continue with this.There are countless examples of differences within our one shared language.With so many differences,no wonder it’s hard to understand each other well.
【解题导语】 本文论述了美国英语和英国英语在词汇方面的差别。

A.language differences don’t affect understanding
B.the same words in the two different types of English may have different spellings
C.there will be fewer differences between American and British English in the future

A.“Elevator”is commonly used in the UK.
B.Pies mean the same thing in the UK and the US.

Is there anything more important than health?I don’t think so.You can’t be good at your studies or work when you are ill.
If you have a headache,or a bad cough,if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold,I think you should go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat,feel your pulse,take your temperature,sound your heart and lungs.After that he will advise some treatment,or some medicine.The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking of doctor’s advice,I can’t help telling you a funny story.
An old man came to see the doctor.The man was very ill.He told the doctor about his weakness,memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs.The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.
He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest.He also advised him to eat a lot of meat,drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks.In other words,the doctor advised him to follow the rule:“Eat at pleasure,drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.”The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again,he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office.He looked cheerful and happy.He thanked the doctor and said that he_had_never_felt_a_healthier_man.
“But you know,doctor,”he said,“it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”
72.The writer thinks that ________.
A.health is more important than wealth
B.work is as important as studies
C.medicine is more important than pleasure
D.nothing is more important than money
解析:选A。文中开头讲“还有什么比健康更重要的吗?我认为没有”,即“我认为健康是最重要的”。
73.The doctor usually tells his patient what to do ________.
A.without examining the patient
B.after he has examined the patient
C.if the patient doesn’t take medicine
D.unless the patient feels pain
解析:选B。文中第三段交代“After that he will advise some treatment,or some medicine.”。that就是指代前面提到的“检查”。
74.The underlined part means“________”.
A.he was feeling better than ever
B.he wasn’t a healthy man
C.he was feeling worse than before
D.he will be well again
解析:选A。“以前从来没有感觉到自己是一个健康的人”,即采纳了医生的建议后感到舒服。文中用的是过去完成时,强调过去的过去感到自己不是一个健康的人,而现在则相反。
75.From the last sentence of the passage,we learn the man ________ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A.was a heavy smoker
B.didn’t smoke so much
C.didn’t smoke
D.began to learn to smoke
解析:选C。这里有些幽默,上文提到医生说“每天抽烟不要超过一支”,而以前这个病人并不抽烟,采纳医生的建议后就每天抽一支烟。
