A. a;不填 B. the;the C. 不填;the D. a;the 【答案】D 【解析】 試題分析：句意：多年來，簡的奶奶想寫一本有關(guān)于兒童的書，但總是被這樣或那樣的原因阻礙了。第一個空使用不定冠詞表泛指，第二個in the way 是固定搭配，意為擋道或阻礙。定冠詞用于特指或者是固定搭配，不定冠詞用于泛指。 考點：考查冠詞的使用 3. Have you ever heard of the trees that are homes animals both on land and sea? A. about B. to C. with D. over 【答案】 B 【解析】 試題分析：句意：你是否有聽說過樹是陸上動物和海上動物的家？home to sth 固定搭配，是什么的家園的意思。該句是一個疑問句，其中還含有一個定語從句。比如這個句子轉(zhuǎn)化為陳述句應(yīng)該是You have ever heard of the trees that are homes animals both on land and sea? 然后把定語從句單獨拿出來看將會是trees are homes animals both on land and sea. 根據(jù)固定搭配自然知道答案是to。 考點：考查介詞 4.

A. produce B. pronounce C. process D. download 【答案】C 【解析】 試題分析：句意：研究已經(jīng)表明，左耳和右耳處理聲音是不同的。A意為生產(chǎn)或制造，B意為發(fā)音，C意為處理，D意為下載。該題考查的是詞義辨析，4個選項的意思都非常的不一樣，所以在作答的時候，要每一個單詞都代入空格進(jìn)行翻譯，找出最佳答案。根據(jù)常識，耳朵不能夠生產(chǎn)或制造，不能發(fā)音，更不可能下載。所以答案只能是處理，也就是C。 考點：考查動詞 6.

A. Just as B. Even though C. Until D. Unless 【答案】A 考點：考查連詞 10. Most people work because it’s unavoidable. , there are some people who actually enjoy work. A. As a result B. In addition C. By contrast D. In conclusion 【答案】C 【解析】 試題分析：句意：很多人工作是因為這是不可避免的，相反，有一些人是的確喜歡工作的。根據(jù)前后的意思，可以知道前后是表示對比。A意為結(jié)果， B意為此外， C意為相反， D意為結(jié)論。“不可避免”表述到一種無奈，也就是說，很多人是不得不工作的。后句的表達(dá)是“事實上有些人喜歡工作”，“喜歡”和“不得不”剛好構(gòu)成一種否定，所以答案只能是選C。 考點：考查介詞短語 11 . We tend to have a better memory for things that excite our senses or our emotions than for straight facts. A. block off. B. appeal to C. subscribe to D. come across 【答案】B 【解析】 試題分析：句意：我們趨向于對于有一些記憶會比較清楚，這些東西是讓我們激動或者是吸引我們的。A. block off.意為封鎖， B. appeal to意為吸引， C. subscribe to意為訂閱， D. come across意為遇到。該句的句式使用到了一個比較句式以及一個定語從句，看起來有一點復(fù)雜，其實這道題的關(guān)鍵就是連詞or，or意思是或者，用于并列句。所以 our emotions表達(dá)是跟前面excite our senses（讓我們激動）意思是相同的，根據(jù)句意不難得出答案是C吸引。 考點：考查動詞短語。 12.

A. considerate B. sensitive C. reliable D. passive 【答案】D 【解析】 試題分析：句意：因此聽是一種主動的，而不是被動的行為。它包含聽，理解和記憶。A. considerate意為考慮周全的， B. sensitive意為敏感的，C. reliable意為可靠的，D. passive意為被動的。根據(jù)not可以知道前后是反義表達(dá)，所以選D。此題的關(guān)鍵是有一個not這是表示否定的，這表明跟前面的active是反義的關(guān)系，根據(jù)4個選項的意思不能得出答案是D. passive被動的。 考點：考查形容詞

Listening to music at home is one thing, going to hear it live is quite another. A. perform B. performing C. to perform D. being performed 【答案】D 【解析】 試題分析：句意：在家里面聽音樂是一回事，去到現(xiàn)場聽又是另一回事。hear sb/sth doing 表聽到某人某物做某事。由于音樂是被演奏的，所以需要被動，所以選D。分析4個選項知道，答案所使用的是同一個動詞，不同的是時態(tài)、語態(tài)或者是非謂語形式。 A是動詞原形，B是非謂語現(xiàn)在分詞形式，C是非謂語的不定式，D是非謂語的現(xiàn)在分詞被動形式。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)以及用法，不難知道音樂是被演奏的，所以需要被動，所以選D。 考點：考查動詞非謂語 19.

Let’s call it a day 意為我們今天就到這兒吧，D. It’s not a requirement意為這不是要求。根據(jù)句意，所以選A。解答此題的關(guān)鍵是一定要正確理解句意以及答案的相關(guān)性。問題問的是旅游，而且涉及到了兩個地方Beijing or Hangzhou，所以答案應(yīng)該是跟旅游這件事有關(guān)的一種表達(dá)，選項A的不介意其實是對于北京或者杭州都不介意。根據(jù)句意B選項是不用于這種旅游的情況。C是一個固定搭配的形式，它用于結(jié)束某一種對話。D項中的it指代不明。 考點：考查交際用語 第二節(jié):完形填空(共20小題;每小題1分，滿分20分) 閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從21-40各題所給的四個選項(A, B, C和D) 中，選出最佳選項，并在答題紙上將該選項標(biāo)號涂黑。 Since finishing my studies at Harvard and Oxford, I’ve watched one friend after another land high-ranking, high-paying Wall Street jobs.

When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading. This means that when they don’t know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously. One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now I’m going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that’s enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean. “ The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, “Mr. Holt, do you really mean that?” I said just as seriously, “I mean every word of it.” During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk, From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It can’t be,” and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick , in edition with woodcuts. I said, “Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going?” She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. ” This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is?an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, pe into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book. 41. According to the passage, children’s fear and dislike of books may result from________. A. reading little and thinking little B. reading often and adventurously C. being made to read too much D. being made to read aloud before others 42. The teacher told his students to read______ . A. for enjoyment B. for knowledge C. for a larger vocabulary D. for higher scores in exams 43. Upon hearing the teacher’s talk, the children probably felt that________. A. it sounded stupid B. it was not surprising at all C. it sounded too good to be true D. it was no different from other teachers' talk 44. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage? A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading. B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks. C. She learned to apPciate some parts of the difficult books. D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school. 45. From the teacher's point of view,_________ . A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading B. children should be left to decide what to read and how to read C. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school D. reading involves understanding every little piece of information 【答案】 41.D 42.A 43.C 44.C 45.B 43. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題根據(jù)“The children sat stunned and silent. 孩子們震驚和沉默地坐著。”第三段第四行“seriously, ‘Mr. Holt, do you really mean that?’”不能得出答案。當(dāng)老師說了這些話之后，孩子們都很震驚耶，很奇怪，所以他會確定問老師是不是真的這樣？這表明學(xué)生是很不太相信的。答案選項的it sounded too good to be true，意為聽起來太好了以致不相信這是真的。44. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題這種題目是判斷正誤題，答題時一定要細(xì)心選擇是錯誤還是正確的。此題選擇的是正確的，也就意味著有3個是錯誤，只有一個是正確的。根據(jù)第四段最后一句話“She answered, Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. “她回答說，哦，當(dāng)然，但我只是跳過這些部分，繼續(xù)讀下一個好的部分�！翱梢缘贸龃鸢甘沁@個女孩知道如何欣賞這些文章。 45. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題四個選項的意思分別是A孩子在閱讀的時候不能夠區(qū)別好的部分以及不好的部分；B應(yīng)該留給學(xué)生孩子自己去選擇，讀什么以及如何讀；C在學(xué)校閱讀永遠(yuǎn)不會是一個愉快和啟發(fā)性的體驗；D閱讀需要理解每一部分的信息。其實根據(jù)常識可以判斷C和D是錯誤的，然后再結(jié)合全文大意，作者認(rèn)為孩子不應(yīng)該是強迫去讀，要讓他們自己讀，選擇材料讀。 考點：這是一篇記敘文。 B Graph can be a very useful tool for conveying information, especially numbers, percentages, and other data. A graph gives the reader a picture to interPt. That can be a lot more efficient than pages and pages explaining the data. Graphs can seem frightening, but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story. The graph has a title, a main idea, and supporting details. You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text. Most graphs have a few basic parts: a caption or introduction paragraph, a title, a legend or key, and labeled axes. An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interPt the data. Captions will usually tell you where the data came from (for example, a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005). Captions usually summarize the author's main point as well. The title is very important. It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown. A legend, also called a key, is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph. Many graphs, including bar graphs and line graphs, have two axes that form a corner. Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph. Each axis will always have a label. The label tells you what each axis measures. Bar Graphs A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts. In Graph 1, we see that the x-axis shows grades that students earned, and the y-axis shows how many students earned each grade .You can see that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the vertical measurement. There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this(See Graph 1). Line Graphs A line graph looks similar to a bar graph, but instead of bars, it plots points and connects them with a line. It has the same parts as a bar graph ? two labeled axes ?and can be read the same way. To read a line graph, it’s important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points. This type of graph is most commonly used to show how something changes over time. Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration (See Graph 2). The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days. The unit of measurement for the y-axis is kilometers. Thus we can see that, on the first day, the pipit flew 20 kilometers. The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2,which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2. If the line segment angled down, as between Day 4 and Day 5, it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before. This line graph is a quick, visual way to tell the reader about the bird’s migration. Pie Graphs A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie. The circle is pided into sections, and each section rePsents a fraction of the data. The graph is commonly used to show percentages; the whole pie rePsents l00 percent, so each piece is a fraction of the whole. A pie graph might include a legend，or it might use icons or labels within each slice. This pie graph shows one month’s expenses (See Graph 3 ). Food $ 25 Movies $ 12 Clothing $ 36 Savings $ 20 Books $ 7 46. When used in a graph，a legend is_____ A. a guide to the symbols and colors B. an introduction paragraph C. the main idea D. the data 47. What is the total number of students who earned a C or better ? A .4. B.6. C.10. D.20 . 48. The bird covered the longest distance on _____ A. Day 1 B. Day 2 C. Day 3 D. Day 4 49. Which of the following cost Amy most? A. Food. B. Books C. Movies D. Clothing. 【答案】 46.A 47.D 48.C 49.D 考點：說明文 C If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜間活動的) species on this planet. Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don’t think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling itwith light. The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences 一 called light pollution 一 whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design，which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky. III-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels 一 and light rhythms ? to which many forms of life, including ourselves, have adapted. Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect or life is affected. In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant haze(霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark. We’ve grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night ?dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadow on Earth?is wholly beyond our experience, beyond memory almost. We’ve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further form the truth. Among mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is astonishing. Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁鐵). The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being “captured” by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms. Migrating at night, birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings. Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint, including most other creatures, we do need darkness .Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare, to our internal clockwork, as light itself. Living in a glare of our own making, we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage?the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night. In a very real sense, light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being, which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way?the edge of our galaxy?arching overhead. 50. According to the passage, human being . A. Pfer to live in the darkness B. are used to living in the day light C. were curious about the midnight world D. had to stay at home with the light of the moon 51. What does “it”(Paragraph 1) most probably refer to? A. The night. B. The moon C. The sky D. The planet 52. The writer mentions birds and frogs to . A. provide examples of animal protection B. show how light pollution affects animals C. compare the living habits of both species D. explain why the number of certain species has declined 53. It is implied in the last paragraph that . A. light pollution dose harm to the eyesight of animals B. light pollution has destroyed some of the world heritages C. human beings cannot go to the outer space D. human beings should reflect on their position in the universe 54. What might be the best title for the passage? A. The Magic light. B. The Orange Haze. C. The Disappearing Night. D. The Rhythms of Nature. 【答案】 50.B 51.A 52.B 53.D 54.C 不難得出答案是D. human beings should reflect on their position in the universe人類應(yīng)該反思自己的行為。但此題易錯選B，之所以不選B是因為some of 的表達(dá)是擴大了說法，以偏概全。 54.C 標(biāo)題題，根據(jù)，文章出現(xiàn)最多的就是light和night, 我們可以知道答案是C。之所以不選A，是因為它所使用的形容詞Magic意思是奇幻的，這個單詞具有褒義的意思。而C選項的disappearing 是消失的，這符合本文的語境，讓我們反思。 考點：這是一篇夾敘夾議的文章 D In 2004, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband, Joe, were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their canine lust. But why, they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it. “Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes, and yes. “I don’t believe you.” We will. We promise. They didn’t. From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day) , neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large), she calculated ,”The medium one is the sucker in the pack .” Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心靈融合) . She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand ? which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she became my fifth appendage(附肢), snoring on my home-office couch as I worked, cradling against my feet as I read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched television. Even so, part of me continued to resent walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair , I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair, ” I’ d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home. Then one day ? January 1, 2007 , to be exact ? my husband ’ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word: leukemia ( 白血病) .With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained. Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with. As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise. When serious illness visits your household, it's not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you know acts differently. Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe's blood counts or bone marrow test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis, she reminded me that life goes on. After Joe died in 2009, Misty slept on his pillow. I'm grateful一to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I've come to enjoy my walks with Misty. As I watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, that no matter how harsh the Psent or unPdictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment. 55. why didn't the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story? A. She was afraid the dog would get the family into trouble. B. It would be her business to take care of the dog. C. Her husband and daughter were united as one. D.

One of the best things you can do any time in the semester is go see the professor. So hoof on over to an office hour and have some one-on-one face time with someone who’ll help you master the material and improve your grade, to boot. But how should you have this conversation with the professor? Here are five insider tips about how to make that office hour really count: 61. No need to get all bent out of shape about going to see the professor. The professor would actually like to see you and answer your questions. Believe it or not, he or she is on your side and is eager to see you do well. And besides, he or she has seen many students stupider than you, so nothing you’re gong to ask will set the record for stupidity. 62. Even though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner, the office hour will go better if it’s just you and the professor. You’ll get in more questions, the discussion will be tailored to what you need most help on, and two-party communication is almost always more productive than committee work. Your friend can wait outside for the discussion. 63. If you can’t make the official office hours, most professors are willing to make inpidual, appointments to help you out. If you’re lucky enough to land such an accommodation, though, be sure you’re 100 percent on time. There’s nothing that ticks off a professor more than making him-or herself available for a custom office hour only to find that you don’t care enough to come on time. And besides, the professor might leave after ten minutes, which would make your trip a total loss. 64. If you’re meeting with the professor to go over a paper or test, or to ask questions about a particular lecture or reading, make sure you bring that paper or test, or your lecture notes or a copy of the article. The professor doesn’t remember the comments he or she wrote on your inpidual piece of work?though he or she will be able to recall them after just a brief glance at your work. And if you have your lecture notes or the article in hand, you and the professor will be able to examine specific points that are confusing to you, rather than just talking in a general way about the contents. 65. Office hours almost always go better if you bring a few specific questions to the meeting. It’s almost never good to start a meeting with general comments such as: “I didn’t understand what you said about [main topic of the course]”or “I couldn’t understand any of your lectures last week.” Much better is to come in with two or three conversation-starters, about a specific concept, point, or problem you didn’t understand. Keep in mind that in a fifteen-minute office hour (which is how long these things usually last), two or three questions are usually the most you’ll have time to discuss. 【答案】 61.E 62.F 63.D 64.C 65.A 考點：語篇段落題 非選擇題部分（共40分） 第三部分：寫作（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）

My old classroom was interesting because three side of the classroom were made from glass. I enjoyed sit close to the windows and looking at the view. On the left-hand side of the class, I could easy see the football field. In the mornings, it was full of students exercising. The view from the back of the classroom is also splendid. Close to the school there was a beautiful park with many trees around them. Farther in the distance, I could not enjoy the view of snowy mountains. On the right side of the class was the road. I was always interested to see the drivers in hurry in the morning. The position of the classroom with its view made me felt like I was dreaming. If I was only a child when I studied in that classroom, I will never forget it. 【答案】 side-sides from-of sit-sitting easy-easily is-was them-it not 刪除 in hurry- in a hurry felt-feel If-Although/Though 考點：短文改錯 第二節(jié)：書面表達(dá)（滿分30分） 在班級活動中，當(dāng)你的想法與大多數(shù)同學(xué)不一致時，你是堅持自己的觀點并說服別人，還是尊重大多數(shù)同學(xué)的意見？請你以“When I Have a Different Opinion”為題，用英文寫一篇100～120個詞“短文。要求如下： 1.從以上兩種做法中選擇一種； 2.以具體事例闡述你選擇的理由。 注意：短文中，不得以任何形式透露地區(qū)、學(xué)校、同學(xué)姓名等真實信息。否則，按考試作弊行為認(rèn)定。 When I Have a Different Opinion
【參考答案】 When I Have a Different Opinion We may have different opinions in organizing class activities. We may have various ways to deal with such a situation. When I have a better idea, I would choose to stick to it. By doing so, I can not only share good ideas with others but also learn to exPss myself clearly. Once we were discussing where to go for an outing. Most of my classmates wanted to go to a park while I had an idea of going to a nicer peace. I managed to persuade my classmates into accepting my idea. We did have a good time that day. Good opinions are worth sticking to because they can benefit us all.
An alternative student version:
When I Have a Different Opinion We may have different opinions in organizing class activities. When I have a different opinion, I may choose to give it up and respect the opinion of the majority. The main reason for my choice is that being brought up in a culture emphasizing collectivism, I tend to sacrifice my own interest for the group benefit. Once we were left to decide whether to have a picnic in a park or go to a museum. I would love to go to a museum, but most of my classmates wanted to go for a picnic. Without hesitation, I decided to follow them and we did have lots of fun that day. Sometimes giving up a little can mean getting more. 【亮點說明】本文結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊，層次分明，而且使用了多種句式和結(jié)構(gòu)。比如not only …but also…不僅而且。運用連詞while 表對比觀點。運用because 表達(dá)原因。 運用了表語從句表達(dá)原因The main reason for my choice is that …。 運用了賓語從句 decide whether do have a … ；discuss where to go for an outing 運用了介詞短語 By doing so, Without hesitation. 運用了強調(diào)句 we did have a lots of fun that day. 此外，文章還使用了大量習(xí)語和短語，如be worth doing sth; stick to sth.; have a good time; have lots of fun , tend to do 等。 考點：考查觀點理由。 |
