up                                           B.worth being looked up C.worth looking up                                           D.worthy of looking up ‎ 解析：短语be worth后面要求跟动名词形式，且用主动形式表示被动的意思，而be worthy后的结构为of being done或to be done。‎ 答案：C ‎2.The brake of your bicycle has come loose.You’d better______it.‎ A.settle                         B.fix                            C.pick                          D.correct ‎ 解析：本题考查动词的辨析。前一句话说明自行车闸松了，因此这里使用动词fix，表示“加固；拧紧”的意思。‎ 答案：B ‎3.The road sign is easy to read；the words ______ well.‎ A.come out                   B.stand out                   C.go out                       D.keep out 解析：短语stand out的意思为“突出；显眼；醒目”。‎ 答案：B ‎4.On the opposite wall ______ dozens of pictures______ two maps of China.‎ A.hang；including                                            B.is hung；together with C.are hanged；with                                          D.are hanging；as well as 解析：从第二个空所给的四个选项来看，都可以用来连接并列成分，主语根据前面的那个词来定，including的逻辑不合适。从主谓一致排除B项。此处是表示客观的事实“悬挂”而不是强调由谁挂的。‎ 答案：D ‎5.The question ______ we can get enough coal for the winter has not been cleared up yet.‎ A.that                           B.if                              C.which                       D.whether 解析：本题考查同位语从句的引导词的用法。根据句子“has not been cleared up yet”判断，此处使用whether，表示“是否”的意思。‎ 答案：D ‎6.The computers made by our company sell best,but several years ago no one could have imagined the role in the markets that they______.‎ A.were playing                                                 B.were to play C.had played                                                    D.played  ‎ 解析：此句话的意思为：几年前没有人能够想象到计算机在市场中将会扮演的角色。be to do sth.表示将来的动作。‎ 答案：B ‎7.The reason ______ she missed school this morning was ______she had to look after her sick grandpa.‎ A.why；that                                                    B.because；why C.that；because                                               D.which；that 解析：这是个复合句。reason后面是个定语从句，was后面是个表语从句。reason作先行词时，关系副词用why；reason作主语时，其后面的表语从句只能用that引导，故答案为A。‎ 答案：A ‎8.The year 1959 ______ the first appearance of a real flying ship in the world.‎ A.saw                          B.watched                    C.came                        D.took ‎ 解析：本句话的意思为“1959年见证了世界上第一艘飞船的出现”。此处为拟人的手法。‎ 答案：A ‎9.Not only ______to leave his homeland,but ______ taken away.‎ A.he was forced；was everything he had B.was he forced；everything he had was C.was he forced；was everything he had D.he was forced；everything he had was 解析：not only...but（also）连接的并列句，只是not only（否定词）分句倒装。‎ 答案：B ‎10.Not only I and Mary but also Jane______having one exam after another.‎ A.is tired of                                                     B.are tired of C.is tired with                                                  D.are tired with                    ‎ 解析：be tired of“厌倦；厌烦”； be tired with“因……而疲劳”。not only...but also句型的主谓一致遵循就近一致的原则，故该句话的主语为Jane。‎ 答案：A ‎11.It made many countries angry______America,without the ______ from the UN,started a war in Iraq.‎ A.that；permission                                           B.which；permit C.which；permission                                       D.that；permit 解析：第一空为that引导的主语从句，陈述事实，it为形式主语。名词permission为不可数名词，表示“许可，同意”的意思，而permit为可数名词，意思为“通行证”。‎ 答案：A ‎12.Your face seems ______.I’ve probably met you here in the old days.‎ A.familiar                     B.known                      C.similar                       D.alike 解析：familiar熟悉的；similar相似的。‎ 答案：A ‎13.I’m sure the red team will ______ the game over the blue team.‎ A.win                           B.beat                          C.defeat                       D.succeed 解析：动词win的宾语为“比赛；奖项”等，而beat的宾语为“人或运动队”。‎ 答案：A ‎14.They spend the money on themselves rather than ______ it to their families.‎ A.to contribute                                                 B.contributed                ‎ C.contributing                                                  D.having contributed 解析：rather than的前后为对比的并列关系，所以应根据前面的谓语动词spend来使用动名词形式，构成spend money doing sth.结构。‎ 答案：C ‎15.The long-lasting meeting,filled with arguments and quarrels,ended in disorder,______ no agreements.‎ A.reached                            B.to reach              C.reaching                    D.would reach

A.explaining；/                                                B.explaining；for C.explained；to                                                D.explained；from 解析：本题考查非谓语动词和定语从句引导词的用法。分析句子结构，第一空为现在分词作伴随状语，后面为定语从句，因引导词修饰先行词exercises，并在定语从句中作have done的宾语，所以可省略。‎ 答案：A ‎17.After supper she would sit down by the fire,sometimes for ______an hour,thinking of her young and happy days.‎ A.as long as                                                     B.as soon as C.as much as                                                   D.as many as 解析：an

C.bought                                                         D.to be bought 解析：I needed为定语从句，根据后面一句话所提供的语境要求，此处应该使用过去分词，表示被动和完成的动作。‎ 答案：C ‎19.Yassin’s death was not ______ to stop Hamas’ ability

A.signs；Do touch                                           B.notices；To touch C.signals；Be touching                                     D.signs；No touching 解析：本题考查名词的辨析以及动词的用法。从句子的意思分析此处用signs，表示一些博物馆的告示牌“你摸吧！”。动词do 在此起强调谓语的作用。‎ 答案：A ‎ (第二组)‎ ‎1.Shall we ______ our discussion and have some tea or coffee,please?‎ A.break off                   B.break down               C.break into                  D.break out 解析：本题根据句意及词语辨析得出答案。break off“折断；断绝关系；中断谈话”； break down“出故障；身体出毛病”；break into“闯入”；break out“爆发”。‎ 答案：A ‎2.She becomes a success in business

from my friends.‎ A.separated                   B.spared                       C.lost                           D.missed 解析：此题通过动词意思与动词搭配结合在一起考查动词的区别。根据句子的意思和语法要求，B项spared和D项missed均不正确。根据动词与后面的介词from的搭配，正确选项为A，符合separate...from... “把……和……分开”的结构。‎ 答案：A ‎4.Never lose heart ______ difficulty you may meet with.‎ A.what                         B.whatever                   C.how                          D.however 解析：whatever=no matter what用来引导让步状语从句，而however后面应该使用形容词或副词。‎ 答案：B ‎5.______ is not until everyone is seated ______the lesson will begin.‎ A.It;that                       B.That;when                 C.This;that                   D.It;when 解析：本题考查强调句型结构。被强调的部分为时间状语从句，无论被强调的内容是什么，都用that引导。‎ 答案：A ‎6.It is difficult to ______ these results to any known cause.‎ A.relate                        B.connect                     C.take                          D.fix 解析：本句话的意思为“这些结果很难与任何已知的原因相关联”。所以使用relate...to...结构。‎ 答案：A ‎7.______ I admit that the problems are difficult,I don’t agree that they can’t be solved.‎ A.While

______.‎ A.habit;expenses                                              B.custom;expense                ‎ C.custom;expenses                                           D.habit;expense

B.sight                         C.look                          D.sign 解析：短语at first sight的意思为“第一眼”。‎ 答案：B ‎10.All her time______experiments,she has no time for films.‎ A.devoted to do                                                B.devoted to doing C.devoting to doing                                                 D.is devoted to doing 解析：devote one’s time to doing为固定结构，此处用过去分词形式作状语，因主语和主句的主语不一致，故在前面使用其逻辑主语all her time构成独立主格结构。‎ 答案：B ‎11.Jobs exist,but they are not ______ for someone like you.So,I’m afraid,we will not be able to offer you the job.‎ A.suitable                                                        B.necessary C.possible                                                        D.comfortable

booked                                                 D.have been booked 解析：分数作主语时，谓语动词与of后的名词一致，即与句中的the tickets一致；另外，book的动作发生在was happy之前，故应用过去完成时态。‎ 答案：B ‎14.It was not until dark______he found______he thought was the correct way to solve the problem.‎ A.that;what                                                      B.that;that C.when;what                                                   D.when;that 解析：本题考查强调句型和主语从句的引导词。第一个空为强调句型，用that引导；第二个空为found后的宾语从句中的主语从句的引导词，what he thought表示“他所想到的”。‎ 答案：A ‎15.Only in this way ______

A.that                           B.where                       C.what                         D.the place 解析：本题考查表语从句的用法。本表语从句缺少作表语从句主语的引导词。that陈述事实，本身没有意思，和语境不符，where不能作主语。如用the place，后面应该是定语从句，但缺少作定语从句主语的引导词。‎ 答案：C ‎19.—I rang you at about nine,but there was no reply.‎ ‎—Oh,that was probably______I was seeing the doctor.‎ A.why                          B.when                        C.what                         D.that 解析：本题考查表语从句的用法。分析句子意思知，此处用when引导表语从句，表示“你在给我打电话时我在看医生”。‎ 答案：B ‎20.—How wide is the Yellow River?‎ ‎—That______from where to where.‎

to                                                         B.are about to             ‎ C.are going to                                                 D.are due to 解析：本题考查几个表示将来的结构区别。be to

untreated                                           B.left untreated C.leaving untreating                                          D.left untreating ‎ 解析：“if+过去分词”可视为条件从句的省略句，相当于if it is left untreated,untreatd为过去分词作补足语。‎ 答案：B ‎18.We couldn’t eat in the restaurant;______of us had ______money on us.‎ A.all;no                                                           B.any;no                       ‎ C.none;any                                                      D.no one;any 解析：根据前句提示，后句为全否定。而A项为部分否定；B项中any不能在否定句中作主语；D项no one不能同of结构连用。‎ 答案：C ‎19.He is very tired

making                                                B.admits making C.admit to make                                               D.admits to make 解析：根据主句的结构the only one分析，此处的that应为单数；而动词admit后面只能跟动名词作宾语。‎ 答案：B ‎2.No matter what you say,I shall ______ my opinion.‎ A.carry out                   B.keep up                     C.insist on                    D.stick to 解析：carry out“贯彻、实施”； keep up“使……不低落”；insist on“坚持”，后常跟动名词形式；stick to“坚持”，后跟名词。‎ 答案：D ‎3.______ two exams to worry about,I have to work really hard this weekend.‎ A.With

modern music.‎ A.care about;than                                             B.care for;to C.care about;to                                                D.care for;than

end                                                     B.after all C.in other words                                              D.at the same time 解析：本题考查介词短语的用法区别。首先弄清四个介词短语的意思：in the end“最后，最终”；after all“毕竟”； in other words“换句话说”；at the same time“同时”。然后根据本句的意思判断此处前后说的是一个意思，表现没有达到要求的标准也就意味着失败。故应用in other words。‎ 答案：C ‎6.If you’re______ about Australian cities,just read the book written by Dr Johnson.‎ A.interested                                                     B.anxious C.upset                                                           D.curious 解析：本题考查形容词的词义区别及搭配区别。be interested in“对某事感兴趣”；be anxious about“为某事或某人着急”；be upset at“对某事不安或苦恼”；be curious about“对某事好奇”。根据搭配及句意可得出正确答案为D项。‎ 答案：D ‎7.______,I have to put it away and focus my attention on study this week.‎ A.However the story is amusing                         B.No matter amusing the story is ‎ C.However amusing the story is                         D.No matter how the story is amusing

for                            C.keep up with              D.agree with 解析：本题考查短语动词的辨析。第一句话已经说明了我对音乐方面的任何事情都没有兴趣，因此“我不喜欢爵士乐”，用care for表示like的意思。‎ 答案：B ‎9.－I wonder if she will show up at the concert.‎ ‎－She will.She is only too ______ to watch the famous director.‎ A.anxious                   B.proud                        C.interested                  D.satisfied 解析：only

concerning                                              B.concern C.are concerned                                               D.concerned 解析：本题考查动词的时态和语态。concern为及物动词，表示“是（某人）的事；对……有重要性”的意思，根据该动词和farmers之间的逻辑关系分析，此处用被动。本句话的意思为“在新上任的总理眼里，只要对农民重要的事，就没有小事”。‎ 答案：C ‎12.Mum ______ my suggestion while Dad spoke in favour of my idea.‎ A.turned down                                                     B.turned off C.turned back                                               D.turned out 解析：本题考查短语动词的用法。从后面的对比句“while Dad spoke in favour of my idea”的意思分析，此处用turn down表示“拒绝；不理会”。‎ 答案：A ‎13.If crime weren’t ______ problem in the U.S.,there wouldn’t be a need for ______ private home security companies.‎ A.a so big；so many                                     B.such a big；such many C.such a big；so many                                  D.so big a；such many 解析：本题考查副词的用法。根据句型结构，第一处应在C、D项中选择，而第二处只能用so来修饰many。‎ 答案：C ‎14.—______ I went to see the doctor,I had to wait about 50 minutes.‎ ‎—So you must make an appointment in advance.‎ A.Every time                                                 B.Since C.While                                                        D.Even if 解析：本题考查状语从句引导词的用法。从句子的意思分析，此处用every time引导，表示“每次”的意思。所以对方才建议“事先预约”。‎ 答案：A ‎15.When I go out in the evening I use the bike ______the car if I can.‎ A.rather than                                                 B.other than C.better than                                                 D.more than 解析：本题考查连词的用法。根据句子的意思分析，此处用rather than，表示“骑自行车而不愿开车”的意思，而other than虽有“而不”的意思，但为副词。‎ 答案：A ‎16.—How would you like your coffee?‎ ‎—______.‎ A.It’s well done                                             B.Very nice.Thank you C.One cup.That’s enough                               D.The stronger,the better 解析：本题考查口语情景问答。从第一句话所提供的语境分析，问的是“想要什么样的咖啡”，所以答语为“越浓越好”。‎ 答案：D ‎17.Mr Barret doesn’t think that all bad language should be allowed.In his opinion,there are ______ that should be kept up.‎ A.degrees                     B.levels                        C.limits                       D.standards

lot                                                        B.That’s a pity C.Thanks anyway                                            D.I’m sorry to hear it 解析：本题考查口语情景问答。此处表示虽然对方不能给与帮助，但“无论如何还是表示感谢”。‎ 答案：C ‎19.—Not getting that job was a big letdown.‎ ‎—Don’t worry.Something better will ______.‎ A.come along                B.take on                      C.go by                        D.fall behind 解析：本题考查短语动词的辨析。第一句话说明对没有得到那项工作感到失望。第二句话为对方对此表示安慰：好事情就会到来。短语come along符合语境的要求。‎ 答案：A ‎20.How I wish every family______ a large house with a beautiful garden! ‎ A.has                          B.had                          C.will have                   D.had had ‎ 解析：本题考查虚拟语气中的动词时态。动词wish后的宾语从句一般使用虚拟语气，现在用过去时，过去用过去完成时，将来用would do。‎ 答案：B 二.完型实战训练及精析:‎ ‎(第一组)‎ It was the night before the composition was due.As I looked at the list of topics ,“The Art of Eating Spaghetti （意大利面条） ” caught my eye.The word “spaghetti” brought back the  21  of an evening at Uncle Alien’s in Belleville  22  all of us were seated around the table and Aunt Pat  23  spaghetti for supper.Spaghetti was an exotic （外来的） treat in  24   days.Never had I eaten spaghetti,and  25  of the grown-ups had enough experience to be  26  it.What laughing  27  we had about the  28  respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth.  29  ,I wanted to write about that,but I wanted to  30  it down simply for my own ‎   31  ,not for Mr Fleagle,my composition teacher.  32  ,I would write something else.‎ When I finished it the night was half gone and there was no  33   left to write a proper composition for Mr Fleagle.There was no choice next morning but to  34  my work.Two days passed before Mr Fleagle returned the  35  papers.He said,“Now,class,I want to read you a composition,‘The Art of Eating Spaghetti’.”‎ My words! He was reading my words out  36  to the whole class.  37  laughed,then the whole class was laughing with open-hearted enjoyment.I did my best not to show  38  ,but what I was feeling was pure happiness,  39  my words had the power to make people  40  .‎ ‎21.A.memory                B.thought                            C.knowledge                 D.experience   ‎ 解析：此处是指作者想起了从前的一件事，memory在此处的意思是“回忆、留在记忆中的人或事”。题干中的bring back的意思为“使……回忆起”，和memory正好搭配。‎ 答案：A ‎22.A.when                    B.where                       C.since                         D.after 解析：此空实际上是对整个句子意思和结构的考查。when是关系副词，引导的定语从句修饰先行词the evening，进一步说明那天晚上的情况。其他三个选项都能引导定语从句，但意思不合语境的要求。‎ 答案：A ‎23.A.cooked                 B.served                       C.got                           D.made 解析：当大家坐在桌子边时，应该是有人端上面条来，从下文对大家在吃面条情景的描述看，此处不是强调Aunt Pat做的意大利面条，而是强调她给我们吃的意大利面条，serve在此处的意思为“端上饭菜招待客人”。‎ 答案：B ‎24.A.their                     B.past                          C.last                           D.those 解析：in those days指“在当时”，相当于in the past。因为作者就在吃面条的现场，不可能用到“他们的时代”这样的状语；而B、C两项都应该使用定冠词。‎ 答案：D ‎25.A.none                    B.one                           C.some                        D.neither 解析：正因为是外来品，所以没有人吃过意大利面条。根据“Never had I eaten spaghetti,and...”可知，大人们也都是不常吃的。D项只能表示“两者”，从上下文可知，在场的不止两个人。‎ 答案：A ‎26.A.careful about                                            B.good at C.fond of                                                               D.interested in 解析：根据下面他们对吃面条的方法都大发争论，看来他们不常吃面条，或者说不知怎样把面条送到嘴里为好，可知他们不善于吃面条。短语be good at的意思为“善于；在某方面做得好”。‎ 答案：B ‎27.A.speeches                                                  B.lessons C.sayings                                                               D.arguments 解析：从本句的下文看，因为他们不知吃面条的方法，必然会产生争论。have argument about也是常用的短语，意思是“就……争论”。‎ 答案：D ‎28.A.nearly                                                      B.naturally C.officially                                                       D.socially 解析：怎样把面条送进嘴里才算讲究，才算高雅，才算体面是指社交方面的事，故选用socially“在社交方面，善于交际地，在社会中”。吃东西的方法不能由官方来定，所以排除干扰性较强的C项。‎ 答案：D ‎29.A.Especially                                                B.Probably C.Suddenly                                                      D.Fortunately 解析：当作者想起吃意大利面条这件事，“猛然”意识到要写这个题目，是合情理的。‎ 答案：C ‎30.A.settle                    B.put                            C.take                          D.let 解析：短语put down 在此处的意思为“把……记下来或写下来”。‎ 答案：B ‎31.A.work                    B.story                         C.luck                          D.joy 解析：下文有not for Mr Fleage，从短文的意思看，既然不是为了上交作文而写，就不用按老师的要求写，而是为了自己高兴而写。‎ 答案：D ‎32.A.However               B.Therefore                  C.As for him                 D.Except for that 解析：作者决定不按老师的旨意去写，“至于老师这方面……”。As for him 起承上启下的作用。‎ 答案：C ‎33.A.time                            B.excuse                      C.way                          D.idea 解析：因为第二天早晨作者没有交上按老师要求所写的文章，可知是没有“时间”了。‎ 答案：A ‎34.A.give up                 B.continue                    C.hand in                      D.delay 解析：短语hand in的意思为“上交（作业等）”。‎ 答案：C ‎35.A.written                 B.graded                       C.collected                   D.signed 解析：根据题意可知这些试卷应该是经老师批阅过打分的，而不仅仅收上来（C项）或者签名（D项）。grade在此处的意思为“给……分级或分类；给……评分”，grade papers是“评试卷；给试卷打分”。‎ 答案：B ‎36.A.loud                     B.fast                           C.publicly                     D.calmly 解析：读给全班同学听，应该大声地读，loud的意思为“大声地”。‎ 答案：A ‎37.A.People                  B.Nobody                     C.Somebody                 D.I 解析：听到好笑的事情，有人先笑了，后是全班跟着笑。根据下文“I did my best not to show pleasure”，可排除D。somebody指班里的某个同学。‎ 答案：C ‎38.A.shock                   B.wonder                            C.worry                       D.pleasure 解析：老师在班里读某人的作文，是对他的表扬和肯定。根据下一句话“but what I was feeling was pure happiness”可知，作者尽力不表露“喜悦”的心情，但心里却乐开了花。‎ 答案：D ‎39.A.if                         B.for                            C.while                        D.although 解析：此处for为并列连词，意为“因为”，其明显的标志是其前面用逗号与前面的句子分开。‎ 答案：B ‎40.A.excited                 B.satisfied                     C.think                         D.laugh 解析：根据前文提到的作者的作文只是引起了大家的大笑，“the whole class was laughing with open-hearted enjoyment”，文中并没有提到别的情绪，可知此处应用laugh作宾语补足语。‎ 答案：D ‎（第二组）‎ I used to be ashamed of my grandma.I know that’s a  21  thing to say,but it was true until today,so I have to  22  it.‎ The  23  started when my friend Katy found Grandma’s false teeth floating in a glass on the bathroom sink.I was so used to seeing them that I  24  took notice of them.But Katy shouted,laughing and  25  to talk to them.I had to get down on my knees and  26  her to shut up so my grandma wouldn’t  27  and get hurt.‎ After that happened,I  28  there were a million things about Grandma that were embarrassing.‎ Once she took Jill and me out to Burger King.  29  ordering our hamburgers welldone,she told the person behind the counter,“They’ll

had to be careful not to make Grandma feel  32  in our home.‎ Then last Wednesday,something happened that  33  everything completely.My teacher told us to help find interesting old people and  34  them about their  35  for a big Oral History project.I was trying to think of someone when Angie pushed me gently.‎ ‎“Volunteer your grandmother,” she whispered.“She’s  36  and rich in experience.”‎ That was the last thing I ever thought Angie would say about my grandma.‎ This is how I ended up on  37  today interviewing my own grandmother before the whole school assembly（集合）.All my friends and teachers were listening to her  38  she was a great heroine.I was  39  of my grandma and hoped she would  40  know that I had been ashamed of her.‎ ‎21.A.funny                   B.common                    C.terrible                      D.clear 解析：作者以grandma为“耻”，说出来自然是一件“极坏的事情”，A、B、D意思不符。‎ 答案：C ‎22.A.admit                    B.receive                      C.refuse                       D.show 解析：作者怀着一种悔恨的心袒露自己的思想，“承认”这种事实。‎ 答案：A ‎23.A.quarrel                  B.accident                    C.trouble                      D.adventure 解析：对作者来说，朋友Katy发现grandma的假牙套漂在杯子里是一件尴尬和难过的事，麻烦自此而生。A.“吵架”，B.“事故”，D.“冒险”，均不合题意。‎ 答案：C ‎24.A.already                 B.always                      C.simply                       D.hardly 解析：由上下文可知，“我”过去常看到假牙，但几乎从未注意过。‎ 答案：D ‎25.A.enjoying                B.pretending                 C.imagining                  D.continuing 解析：pretend to do sth.“假装做某事”；enjoy,imagine后跟-ing形式。‎ 答案：B ‎26.A.warn                    B.demand                     C.advise                       D.beg 解析：beg sb.to do sth.“乞求某人做某事”，与前文get down on my knees对应。‎ 答案：D ‎27.A.mind                    B.hear                          C.see                           D.fall 解析：“我”跪下来请Katy闭嘴以防grandma听到受到伤害。‎ 答案：B ‎28.A.expected               B.declared                    C.realized                     D.doubted 解析：expect “期望“，declare “声称、宣布”；realize“意识到”；doubt“怀疑”。显然是作者在那件事之后才“意识到”grandma的许多令人窘迫的事。‎ 答案：C ‎29.A.Because of            B.Except for                 C.Such as                     D.Instead of 解析：instead of“而不是……”。‎ 答案：D ‎30.A.died                      B.cheered                     C.disappeared               D.suffered 解析：听到奶奶的话“我”窘得要死，故选A。‎ 答案：A ‎31.A.meet                     B.avoid                         C.arrange                            D.hide 解析：不想看到grandma,所以希望她从眼前消失，因而有hide her in a closet的想法。‎ 答案：D ‎32.A.independent           B.inconvenient              C.unwelcome                D.unfamiliar 解析：independent“独立”；inconvenient “不方便”；unwelcome“不受欢迎”； unfamiliar“不熟悉”。显然，my parents是告诉“我不能让grandma在家里感到unwelcome,作者也正有这种思想。‎ 答案：C ‎33.A.changed                B.finished                     C.stopped                     D.prepared 解析：根据上下文特别是文章的最后两句的意思得出答案。本句意为“上个星期三发生的事情完全改变了一切”。‎ 答案：A ‎34.A.interview                     B.report

C.interesting                 D.embarrassing 解析：与前文 “find interesting old people”相呼应，其他项均不合适。‎ 答案：C ‎37.A.show                    B.stage                         C.duty                          D.time 解析：on stage“在台上”。‎ 答案：B ‎38.A.and then               B.even if                       C.so that                      D.as if 解析：as if“好像”。作者写大家在听grandmother讲话，好像她是一个heroine。‎ 答案：D

down to 59 seconds for each quarter-mile sprint.‎ When  35  day arrived,strong winds were blowing and running conditions were poor.What a  36  decision!

What’s the occasion?” I felt my  29  burning hot.I didn’t  30  at all.If she knew how  31  I already felt,she wouldn’t have said that to me.‎ Maybe she didn’t  32  to make me feel uncomfortable,but my

C.where                       D.as 解析：这里where引导表地点的定语从句，修饰cookout,意为“在那里他的大多数美国朋友和亲戚我都认识”；when表示时间，而which和as均可充当从句的主语。‎ 答案：C ‎26.A.exciting                B.surprising

include problems such as whom one entertains and where,and how one entertains.In countries where status is important,it is not advisable to invite people of different statuses to the same dinner party.Americans will often invite people to their homes.However in some societies the home is considered too private,unworthy,or too small to serve as a proper place for business entertaining.In some countries there is a “help yourself” method of entertaining done in the home.This method does not work well when entertaining people whose culture teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food.In one instance,a Chinese guest went hungry all the evening without eating though he was quite hungry because he was too shy to take ‎ food after only being asked to do so once.In another case,an American woman executive（负责人） was being entertained in London.After having the tea served,the American woman helped herself to cream and sugar rather than waiting to be served.The English hostess was upset by the thought that she was not serving quickly enough.‎ As a general rule,a small gift from your home country is OK.A gift that is tied to the particular interest of the person is especially good.Gifts for children are also well received.Be careful that the “hometown” gift you are bringing to Singapore was not made in Hong Kong.Because many gifts carry symbolic meanings,it is always best to seek the advice of a cultural information before selecting gifts.The giving of large gifts,or payments for special service,should only be carried out after talking with legal department in the home and host culture.‎ ‎1.It is no good inviting people of different social positions to the same party in the country where______.‎ A.people don’t pay any attention to your positions B.people care much about their statuses C.entertainment is important D.entertainment is not advisable 解析：见第一段第二句话：“在那些很重视社会地位的国家，最好不要把不同层次的人放到一起。”‎ 答案：B ‎2.The Chinese guest is taken for an example to show ______.‎ A.that offering food should not be made too early B.a “help yourself” method does work well in this case C.that accepting an offer of food should be made later D.a “help yourself” method does not work well in some cases 解析：根据第一段第六句可知。自己动手吃饭的方式并不是对所有人都适用，不同的文化背景造就了迥异的社交方式。‎ 答案：D ‎3.The passage infers that American women like ______.‎ A.a “help yourself” method B.waiting to be served C.a slow service D.cream and sugar 解析：见第一段最后两句：“喝完被人端上来的茶，这位美国女性自己动手去加糖和奶油，使得女主人非常自责，以为自己照顾不周。”‎ 答案：A ‎4.______ is especially proper.‎ A.A big gift                                                      B.Large payment as a gift C.A small gift from one’s home                          D.A gift from Singapore 解析：见最后一段第一句话：“一般说来，从祖国家乡带来的礼物就非常合适。”‎ 答案：C B If you have been joining in chat room conversations,or trading email with web pals （网友）,you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English.‎ And you’ve got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF （= sense of humor failure） to describe Internet newcomers who don’t understand you.‎ Across the globe,every night teenagers and their elders are talking online,many of them all talking at the same time.‎ It’s fast: try talking to six people at once.It’s brief: three or four words per exchange.It takes wit,concentration,and quick fingers.‎ And it requires tremendous linguistic economy.There’s neither time nor space for explanations.Why consume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB（ = be right back） will do?‎ Want to enter a conversation?Just type PMFJI （= pardon me for jumping in）.‎ Interested in whom you are talking to?Type A/S/L,the nearly universal request to know your pal’s age,sex and location.You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.‎ If something makes you laugh,say you are OTF （= on the floor）,or LOL （= laughing out loud）,or combing the two into ROTFL （ = rolling on the floor laughing）.‎ And when it is time to get back to work or go to bed,you type GTG （= got to go） or TTYL （=talk to you later）.‎ People want to write as fast as possible,and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can.Capital letters are left in the dust,except when expressing emotion,as it takes,more time to hold down the “shift” key and capitals.Punctuation （标点） is going,too.‎ ‎5.Many people talk on the Internet ______.‎ A.by sending short emails B.by using a particular short form of English C.by using peculiar English words and expressions D.in a funny way 解析：根据第一段最后一句。“你已经成为数百万个用特别简短的英语形式在网上聊天的人士之一”可以推出答案。‎ 答案：B ‎6.In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet ______.‎ A.you have to speak fast and fluently B.you should speak with wit and humor C.you have to express your ideas in a brief way D.one should pay much attention to the accuracy of words 解析：从第四段可得知，同时和几个人聊天需要快速、简捷、聪慧，注意力集中和敏捷的手指。A项中的speak in fluently,B项中的humor,D项中的accuracy都不符合题意。‎ 答案：C ‎7.If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L,it means______.‎ A.the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine B.you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York C.you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York D.the person who you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl 解析：从第七段可得知，A/S/L分别表示：年龄（age），性别（sex），地区（location）。‎ 答案：B ‎8.To save time on the Internet,______.‎ A.some people leave their letters in the dustbin B.some people never use “shift” in their writing C.many people leave the capital and punctuation ‎ D.people seldom use capital letters or punctuation 解析：“Capital letters are left in the dust”的引申义为：不用大写字母，“Punctuation（标点）is going，too.”表示也不用标点。‎ 答案：D C About 1966 or so,a NASA （美国航空航天局） team doing work for the Apollo moon mission took the astronauts near Tuba City.There the landscape of the Navajo Reservation （保留地） looks very much like the lunar surface.Among all the trucks and large vehicles were two large figures that were dressed in full lunar space suits.‎ Nearby a Navajo shepherd （牧羊人） and his son were watching the strange creatures walk about,occasionally being watched over by other NASA workers.The two Navajo people were noticed and approached by the NASA people.Since the shepherd and his son did not know English,they asked the NASA people who the strange creatures were.The NASA people told them that they were just men that were getting ready to go to the moon.The shepherd became very excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts.‎ The NASA officials thought this was a great idea so they provided a tape recorder.After the man gave them his message,they asked his son to translate.His son would not.‎ Later,they tried a few more people on the reservation to translate and every person they asked would chuckle （偷偷地笑） and then refuse to translate.Finally,with cash in hand someone translated the message.‎ ‎“Watch out for these guys,they have come to take your land!”‎ ‎9.The appearance of the Navajo Reservation is very similar to that of ______. ‎ A.the Tuba City                                                B.the moon C.the NASA research center                              D.the Apollo moon mission 解析：文章第一段说到，那块保护区的景色与月亮表面的景色很相像。‎ 答案：B ‎10.When the older Navajo heard that the men in front of him were going to the moon,he ______. ‎ A.felt frightened and ran away quickly B.chatted excitedly with the NASA workers C.got on the modern trucks and large vehicles for fun D.tried to say something to the moon creatures 解析：文章第二段说到，当牧羊人听说他们要飞往月球时，他很激动，并且问他可否捎带信到月球上。‎ 答案：D ‎ ‎11.The son did not translate the words his father said because ______. ‎ A.he had trouble in understanding his father B.the words his father used were too difficult to be translated C.his father was sending a warning against the NASA people D.he believed that the NASA workers could understand their language 解析：从文章最后一段可知，牧羊人的儿子并非不理解他父亲的意思，也并非他父亲的话他翻译不了，而是不想惹怒这群美国人，因为他的父亲说的话不利于美国政府。‎ 答案：C ‎12.According to this passage,we can know that the shepherd was ______.‎ A.patient and brave B.foolish and impolite C.humorous and intelligent D.knowledgeable and talkative 解析：由整个故事推知，牧羊人幽默而又聪明。‎ 答案：C D In summer,millions of people will head for the beach.And while the ocean can be a great place to swim and play,it may also be useful in another way.Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity.‎ ‎“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave?Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves.”‎ Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity.‎ Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean.“The winds start out by making little ripples （波纹） in the water,but if they keep on blowing,those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,”Taylor said.“Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.”‎ When waves come towards the shore,people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine （涡轮）.The turbine can then power an electrical generator （发电机）.‎ The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy,and it is already being used in Scotland.‎ The resource is huge.We will never run out of wave power,besides,wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources,such as oil and coal.‎ Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface.That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world.There are some drawbacks,however.‎ Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money.He said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknown.Plus,wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic.‎ With more research,however,“many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said.“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers,drive our cars,and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the world.Finding more energy sources is very important,for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day.”‎ In the future,when you turn on a light switch,an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!‎ ‎13.Which of the following is NOT true?‎ A.Wave power costs too much money.‎ B.Wave energy creates the same amount of pollution as other energy sources.‎ C.Wave power affects fishing and boat traffic.‎ D.Wave power may affect marine animals.‎ 解析：波浪所发的电能不像其他形式的能源，它不会带来很多的污染。‎ 答案：B ‎14.We can infer from the passage that ______. ‎ A.finding new energy sources like wave energy is important ‎ B.wave energy is a resource that will never run out and is used all over the world C.wave power is perfect for creating energy around the world D.wave power doesn’t create any pollution 解析：这种能源如何利用正在研究中，故B错误。并非波能是最好的能，C错；波能也会带来污染，但程度小，D错。‎ 答案：A ‎15.The underlined word “drawbacks” probably means ______.‎ A.regrets                                                         B.adventures C.disadvantages                                               D.difficulties 解析：从倒数第四段中perfect和however可推知。‎ 答案：C ‎16.What can be the best title for the passage?‎ A.How to Get Electricity by Waves ‎ B.A Huge Resource of Energy C.Can Waves Make Electricity?‎ D.The Disadvantages of Wave Energy 解析：从整篇文章来看，波能是否能广泛使用，还在试验之中，所以C项最恰当。‎ 答案：C E There are two basic ways to see growth:one as a product,the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as an external （外在的） result or a product that can easily be identified and measured.The worker who gets a rise,the student whose grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.‎ By contrast,the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself,but the attitudes,feelings people have,and their caution or courage,as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties.In this process,the journey never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world,new ideas to try,new challenges to accept.‎ In order to grow,to travel new roads,people need to have a willingness to take risks,to face the unknown,and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first.How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow.Do we see ourselves as quick and curious?If so,we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think we’re shy and indecisive?Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate,to move slowly,and we think we are slow to adapt change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge.Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.‎ These feelings of insecurity and selfdoubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.If we protect ourselves too much,then we stop growing.We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.‎ ‎17.In the author’s eye,one who views personal growth as a process would ______.‎ A.succeed in climbing up the social ladder B.grow up from his own achievements C.face difficulties and take up challenges D.aim high and reach his goal each time 解析：文章第二段最后几句提到，在成长过程中，这种旅途真的永无止境：要有体验世界的新路子，尝试新的观念，接受新的挑战。‎ 答案：C ‎18.Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing?  ‎ A.Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges.‎ B.Jane won the first prize in the speech competition.‎ C.Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris.‎ D.Father’s salary rose from 5000 to 7000.‎ 解析：从第一段可知，作者把获奖、掌握外语，提薪看作“外部结果”，而把“乐意接受挑战”看作成长过程（process）。‎ 答案：A ‎19.For personal growth,the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT ______.‎ A.being curious about more changes  ‎ B.being quick in self-adaptation C.having an open mind to new experiences D.staying away from failures and challenges 解析：由第三段第一句可推知，在成长过程中，人们需要有乐意冒险、面对不可预测的事物和接受可能的失败的精神，而不是远离失败和挑战。‎ 答案：D ‎20.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?  ‎ A.It is not so easy to measure personal growth.‎ B.To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable.‎ C.There are only two ways to see a person’s growth.‎ D.If you are too shy to take any risks in life,you cannot grow up.‎ 解析：文章第一段提到看待人成长有两种基本方式。可推知，并非只有两种方式。‎ 答案：C ‎21.The best title for this passage should be ______.  ‎ A.Facing New Challenges B.Growth—Product or Process C.Two Basic Ways of Growth D.Overcoming Internal Fears 解析：从整篇文章来看，作者讲述了如何看待人的成长的两种基本方式。并非人的成长只有两种方式，故排除C。A项和D项属以偏概全。‎ 答案：B F How can you find out what is going on inside a person’s body without opening the patient up?Regular X-rays can show a lot.CAT scans can show even more.They can give threedimensional（三维）view of body organs.‎ What is a CAT scan?CAT stands for Computerized Axial Tomography（层面X线照相术）.It is a special X-ay machine that gets a 360-egree picture of a small area of a patient’s body.‎ Doctors use X-ays to study and examine diseases and injuries within the body.X-ays can find foreign objects inside the body or to take pictures of some organs inside if special things as dyes or special liquids are added to the organs to be X-ayed.‎ A CAT scanner,however,uses a beam（光束）of X-rays to give a crosssectional view of a particular part of the body.A fine beam of X-rays is scanned across the body and circled around the patient from many different angles（角度）.A computer analyzes the information from each angle and produces a clear cross-sectional picture on the screen.This picture is then photographed for later use.Several cross-ections,taken one after another,can give a clear “photo” of the entire body or of any body organs.The newest CAT scanners can even give a clear picture of active,moving organs just as a fast-action camera can “stop the action” giving clear pictures of what appear only mistily（模糊） to the eye.And because of the 360-egree pictures,CAT scans show 3-imensional views of organs in a manner that was once only seen during surgery or autopsy （examining a dead body）.‎ ‎22.According to the first two paragraphs,doctors can see the inside of a patient’s body by ______.‎ A.giving the patient an operation ‎ B.checking body organs ‎ C.getting a 360-gree picture of a small area of a patient’s body ‎ D.examining the CAT ‎ 解析：常规的手术、检查无法透视病人，只有外科手术、尸检、CAT技术才能让医生达到目的。CAT是技术，不是图片，因此选项D错。‎ 答案：C ‎23.From the last paragraph,we can infer that ______.‎ A.the newest pictures become more misty ‎ B.many pictures can be taken at the same time ‎ C.the information about the scanned patient is not highly valued ‎ D.some pictures of the scanned parts of the body are developed for further examinations in the future ‎ 解析：根据最后一段第四句“This picture is then photographed for later use.”可知。‎ 答案：D ‎24.The best title of this passage might be ______.‎ A.Modern X-ray B.Three-imensional View ‎ C.Fast-oving Camera D.CAT Scan 解析：文章主要讲述的是CAT技术在医学上的使用，选项D比选项A更准确。‎ 答案：D G I grew up in a small town.My father raised chickens and ran a construction company.I was barely 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable.He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility.Then,when I was 22,I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace,I washed dishes and cooked from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning.It wasn’t long before I became known as a singing cook.I had been rejected so many times by record ‎ companies that it was hard not to be discouraged.One night,a woman executive（董事） from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing.When the show was over,we sat down and talked and after she left,I said to myself it was one more rejection.A few weeks later,my manager received a phone call—Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal.Soon after,I released my first record in June 1986.It sold over 2 million copies.My best efforts had gone into every job I’ve ever held.It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man.Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride.I still feel that way today,even though I have become a well-known singer.‎ ‎25.Why was the writer once known as the singing cook?‎ A.Because he was a cook at a country-music club.‎ B.Because he sang for guests while he worked as a cook.‎ C.Because he often sang while cooking.‎ D.Because he liked singing better than cooking.‎ 解析：推理判断题。从下午4：00忙到9：00作者洗盘子烧饭，然后上舞台去唱歌一直唱到凌晨2：00，所以被称作“唱歌的厨师”。‎ 答案：B ‎26.Who first recognized his talents and helped make his career successful?‎ A.Warner Brothers.                                           B.His manager.‎ C.His father.                                                    D.A businesswoman.‎ 解析：细节事实题。来自于Warner Brothers唱片公司的一位女董事在听了作者的歌后，才通知作者到该公司签约，然后录制第一张唱片，并取得巨大的成功。‎ 答案：D ‎27.What made the writer proud of himself?‎ A.His ability to live independently.‎ B.His sense of responsibility in whatever he did.‎ C.His courage in the face of rejections.‎ D.His hard work in his early days.‎

阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。 ‎ A Dr.Hausman is a hair detective.Once a mountain lion killed a thirteen-yea-old boy.The town offered a reward of a thousand dollars for anyone who would kill the lion.‎ One day an excited hunter came to the town to say that he had killed the mountain lion.As proof that he had killed the right animal,he showed a ball of human hair.He said he had taken the hair from the stomach of the mountain lion.‎ However,another hunter soon showed up to claim the reward.He too had a ball of human hair that he said he had taken from the dead lion’s stomach.The town did not know which man to pay.Maybe neither one had killed the right mountain lion.To settle the argument,they decided to turn the whole thing over to Dr.Hausman.‎ Dr.Hausman studied the hair and reported that the second hunter should be paid.The hair in the stomach of the mountain lion he had killed matched the hair of the boy.The whole town was relieved to know for sure that the killer had been found.‎ There are other kinds of detectives who do not wear a uniform,like Hausman,solve endless mysteries every year.There is,for example,the dust detective.Tiny bits of dust stick to your clothes,your fingernails,your hair,or your shoes.They catch in your nose and in your ears.They tell where you have been and what you have done lately.The dust detective often helps catch a criminal by proving that he has been on the scene of the crime.‎ Then there is the wood detective.By studying a piece of wood he can tell what kind of tree the piece of wood came from.He can tell where it was grown,and how old it ‎ is.He can even tell you what the weather was like at a certain place the year Columbus landed in America.The growth rings on a tree tell him.‎ ‎41.According to the selection,by studying a piece of wood,a wood detective can tell you ______.‎ A.what the weather was like the year Columbus landed in America B.what the weather was like last year in the mountain C.what the weather was like last month in your hometown D.what kind of tree the piece of wood came from 解析：从最后一段，第二句话得知“通过研究一块木头，树木专家可辨认出它的来历”。‎ 答案：D ‎42.Endless mysteries are solved every year by ______.‎ A.detectives who like Hausman B.detectives like Hausman C.other kinds of detectives who like Hausmam D.detectives Dr.Hausman likes 解析：答案在倒数第二段，第一句话“还有一种不穿制服的专家，像Hausman一样揭开无数谜底”。‎ 答案：B ‎43.What does the underlined word“they”（Paragraph 5）mean?‎ A.Your clothes.                                                B.Your fingernail.‎ C.Tiny bits of dust.                                                 D.Your shoes.‎ 解析：从它前边两句话很容易判断。也就是“细小的灰尘可证明你去过的地方，也能证明你做了什么事”，they指细小灰尘。‎ 答案：C ‎44.It is implied in the selection that it is most important for a criminal ______.‎ A.to prove that he has been on the scene of the crime ‎ B.to prove that he has not been on the scene of the crime C.to tell the detective what he has done lately D.to show the detective his nose and his ears 解析：根据文章倒数第二段可得出结论。也就是“灰尘颗粒专家一般通过证明嫌疑犯到过犯罪现场，来协助断案”。‎ 答案：A B A good hearing memory will help your child do better in school.Your child’s hearing ability is normal.Yet,he may seem to be very poor at remembering and understanding what he’s heard at school.‎ Why should this be?It’s because he’s not using his hearing ability to help him remember and understand what he’s been taught.‎ Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear.They’ve got good hearing memories.Other children find it easier to learn and remember things by what they see.They’ve got good seeing memories.Some children have equally good ability at both seeing and hearing in learning things.Others,less fortunate,seem to have poor hearing and seeing memories.Most children,I’d say,unknowingly prefer one method over the other for learning and remembering.‎ But this favoring of one sense over the other is a bad habit and deprives（使……不能） the child of the full use of his natural senses.‎ Mrs Alien was clearly incredulous when I told her there was nothing wrong with her son’s hearing.“But he never seems to really understand what he hears,that’s what his teachers tell me,” she said.‎ ‎“My psychological examination of William shows he’s weak in his hearing memory,” I said,“but he has perfectly normal intelligence and can learn in school.”‎ ‎“Our family doctor examined William and he says the boy’s hearing was all right.So,that proves you’re right on that point,” admitted Mrs Alien.“So how can we help him?My husband and I will do anything you say,Dr.Dursteln.”‎ ‎“You can do a lot to improve William’s hearing memory,but it’ll take time.You must be patient and not expect results immediately.” I cautioned.‎ I suggested a detailed program for the parents to use at home.I told Mrs Alien to come back and see me every two weeks so that I could guide her in any problem she had in using my program.‎ ‎45.Those who have poor hearing memories ______.‎ A.can not hear sounds clearly B.are poor at remembering and understanding what they have learned C.are poor at learning things by what they have heard D.have the habit of learning things by what they have heard of 解析：文章第二段第二句是依据。“这是因为他没有运用听力来帮助理解和记忆所学知识。”‎ 答案：C ‎46.The author suggested that Mrs Alien try some ways ______.‎ A.to train her son’s hearing memory B.to make use of her son’s natural senses C.to make good use of what her son heard ‎ D.to understand the trouble in which her son was involved 解析：倒数第二段第一句话是依据。“你可以通过大量练习来提高William的听力，但需要很长时间”。‎ 答案：A ‎47.In Paragraph 4,the underlined word “incredulous” means ______.‎ A.unbelieving                                                   B.believable C.believing                                                       D.incredibly 解析：根据它后边的一句话可判断，incredulous“难以置信”，是形容词。unbelieving是它的同义词，incredibly“难以置信地”，是副词。‎ 答案：A ‎48.Which of the following is true?‎ A.Good hearing memory will not help your child do better in school.‎ B.Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear.‎ C.The favoring of one sense over the other is not a bad habit.‎ D.The author didn’t suggest a detailed program for the parents to use at home with William.‎ 解析：见文章第三段，第一句。“有些孩子养成用听力去理解和记忆知识的习惯”。‎ 答案：B C The word conservation has a thrifty（节俭） meaning.To conserve is to save and protect,to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment.Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials;most of them,even until very recently,had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and “inexhaustible”.Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated,and delicate system that runs all through nature,and which means that,as in a living body,an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.‎ Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work;scientific forestry was a new idea;timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands;soil destruction and river floods were not national problems;nobody had yet studied long term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use;even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.‎ For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us,we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers.Conservation should,therefore,be made a part of everyone’s daily life.To know about the water table in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas.We need to know why all watersheds need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to benefit the soil fully before they finally escape to the sea.We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them.We need to know the importance of big,mature trees,because living space for most of man’s fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume above the earth.In brief,it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.‎ ‎49.The author’s attitude towards the present situation in the use of natural resources is ______.‎ A.positive                                          B.neutral C.suspicious                                      D.critical 解析：从第一段“foolish idea”及最后一段可明显感觉到“作者对自然资源的开发持批评态度”。‎ 答案：D ‎50.According to the author,the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that ______.‎ A.they had no idea about scientific forestry B.they had little or no sense of environmental protection C.they did not know the importance of nature study D.they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials 解析：从第一段后半部可知“祖先基本没有环保意识”。‎ 答案：B ‎51.With a view to correcting the mistakes of our forefathers,the author suggests that ______.‎ A.we plant more trees B.we be taught environmental science,as well as the science of plants C.environmental education be directed toward everyone D.we return to nature 解析：最后一段第二句“环保应该人人有份，成为大家生活的一部分”，显然和C项意思吻合。‎ 答案：C ‎52.What does the author imply by saying “living space is figured also in cubic volume above the earth”（Paragraph 3）?‎ A.Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller in volume.‎ B.Our living space should be measured in cubic volume.‎ C.We need to take some measures to protect space in volume.‎ D.We must create better living conditions for both birds and animals.‎ 解析：从最后一段结尾处可推知“我们要努力为人类以及人类的朋友维护良好的生存环境”。‎ 答案：D 第二卷 第一节：阅读填表 阅读下列短文，然后在表格内横线上填写正确信息。‎ On Tuesday,12th March 1996,my mum and I went to see my school headmaster.He was called Mr Lowe.In his office we saw Mrs Hick,the teacher from the local country council who was to help me with my English.She was very friendly and smiled a lot,not like Chinese teachers,who are very serious.Mr Lowe talked to us a lot but I didn’t understand what he said at all.（Mum told me later that it was a brief introduction about the school.） Then he gave us a copy of school handbook and took us on a tour around the school.He showed us to the dining hall,where the students have their lunch,the playground,and to my class as well.He also introduced me to my teacher,Miss Brocklebank.They arranged for me to go into a Year 3 class according to my age,as British children begin their first year at 5.They told me to come to school the next day.‎ Just then I

stories about space—the moon and the stars.These helped develop my interest in science.My first real experience of how the world of science works was when my school organized a visit to a nearby science museum.Inside the museum,there were many great scientific discoveries.I began to realize how important science is to mankind.From then on,I took part in lots of scientific experiments with my classmates.We often observed the moon and the stars at night using a big telescope.After high school I decided to choose science as my career and major in science at university.I spent hours and hours doing experiments and as a result of my hard work,now I’m a well-known young scientist.‎
