B.Food. C.Gold.‎ 答案:A ‎20.What do most of the drivers consider to be a victory?‎ A.Winning the race.‎ B.Finding gold.‎ C.Finishing the race.‎ 答案:C 第二部分　阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)‎ 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。‎ A Find the perfect way to keep fit with these websites www.activelife.co.uk This site is perfect for those who like to combine living a healthy lifestyle with enjoying the countryside.You can get a list of locations that offer routes for cycling.There is also information on cycling competitions in Britain.‎ www.swavedon.com Swavedon is a national park with a lake,which offers many different ways of keeping fit in the great outdoors.There are three cycle routes around the lake and several woodland walks.‎ www.fitnet.co.uk Steve Amos started this site for busy people wanting to keep fit.Fill in a questionnaire(调查表) and Steve will create a fitness programme for you.Although Steve’s fee is high,you can email him ‎ for advice whenever you want.Besides,Steve has designed many fitness clothes,which anyone can order.‎ www.fitnessonline.co.uk This is a free government website that encourages people to keep fit.It gives diet advice,and allows you to work through a fitness programme without leaving your house.It also offers advice on equipment to buy and has a chat room,where you can compare experiences with others.‎ www.sportsarena.co.uk This website tells you how you can keep fit at this group of London sports centres.You don’t have to be a member—these centres run a pay-as-you-go system.They all have a pool and gym.The website includes information about locations,opening times and prices.‎ www.NAG.co.uk The National Athletics Group is a site for people interested in athletics.It allows you to find out where your nearest athletics club is and provides information about races and other athletics events around the country.There is a popular chat room where athletes exchange(交流) suggestions and ideas.‎ ‎21.Which of the following websites has information on cycling competitions?‎ A.www.sportsarena.co.uk.‎ B.www.activelife.co.uk.‎ C.www.swavedon.com.‎ D.www.fitnet.co.uk.‎ 答案:B 解析细节理解题。根据www.activelife.co.uk中的“There is also information on cycling competitions in Britain.”可知,在这个网站上可以找到有关自行车比赛的信息。‎ ‎22.What can we learn about Steve Amos?‎ A.He always helps people for free.‎ B.He started the site to sell fitness clothes.‎ C.He is unwilling to answer people’s emails.‎ D.He offers personalized and convenient services.‎ 答案:D 解析细节理解题。根据www.fitnet.co.uk中的“Fill in a questionnaire and Steve will create a fitness programme for you.Although Steve’s fee is high,you can email him for advice whenever you want.”可知,Steve为人们量身定制健康计划,并通过邮件的形式为人们提供一些建议,由此可知,他为帮助人们保持健康提供量身定制的、便捷的服务。‎ ‎23.What can people do on www.NAG.co.uk?‎ A.Search for the best gym.‎ B.Buy sports equipment they need.‎ C.Communicate with other athletes.‎ D.Find information about indoor sports.‎ 答案:C 解析细节理解题。根据www.NAG.co.uk中的“There is a popular chat room where athletes exchange suggestions and ideas.”可知,在这个网站用户可以和其他田径运动员进行交流。‎ B Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture.Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language.Neither do they know the customs nor understand the people’s behavior in daily life.‎ Quite often the visitor finds that “yes” may not always mean “yes”,that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship,or that statements that appear to be serious are really jokes.The foreigners may be unsure as to when to shake hands,when to start conversations,or how to approach a stranger.The idea of culture shock helps explain the feelings of puzzlement.‎ Language problems do not account for all the difficulty that people feel.When one has lost everything that was once familiar,such as understanding a transportation system,knowing how to register for university classes,or knowing how to make friends,difficulties in dealing with the new society may arise.‎ When an individual(个人) enters a strange culture,he or she feels like a fish out of water.Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture.When this happens,visitors may want to reject everything about the new environment and may sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture.On the other side,more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country.This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.‎ ‎24.What do people feel when they are suddenly in a new culture?‎ A.Excited. B.Delighted.‎ C.Upset. D.Hopeless.‎ 答案:C 解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language.Neither do they know the customs nor understand the people’s behavior in daily life.”可知,由于语言不通、不了解当地的风俗、不理解当地人日常生活中的行为习惯,新来者会感到焦虑、担心。C项意为“心烦意乱的”,符合语境,故C项正确。‎ ‎25.What can we infer from the second paragraph?‎ A.It’s impossible to get used to a new culture.‎ B.People feel confused due to culture shock.‎ C.Foreigners often don’t mean what native people say.‎ D.Most foreigners are usually quite humorous.‎ 答案:B 解析推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“The foreigners may be unsure as to when to shake hands,when to start conversations,or how to approach a stranger.The idea of culture shock helps explain the feelings of puzzlement.”可知,外地人可能不确定什么时候握手,什么时候开始交谈,或者如何与陌生人打交道,文化冲击有助于解释这种困惑的感觉。据此可以判断,由于文化冲击,人们常常会感到困惑,故B项正确。‎ ‎26.What’s the biggest problem people often meet with in a new country?‎ A.The language. B.The transportation.‎ C.The environment. D.The puzzlement.‎ 答案:A 解析细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language.”并结合常识可知,在别的国家,人们遇到的最大问题就是语言不通。故A项正确。‎ ‎27.Why do a few immigrants say no to everything of the new country?‎ A.Because they miss their native culture seriously.‎ B.Because they know nothing about the culture.‎ C.Because they can’t enter the new society.‎ D.Because they really regret having immigrated.‎ 答案:B 解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted...praises of the positive aspects of their own culture.”可知,新来者有时觉得自己不属于当地的文化,觉得自己被抛弃了,他们会拒绝一切有关新环境的东西,并称赞他们自己的文化中积极的方面。据此可以判断,由于对新文化一无所知,新来的一些移民常常会拒绝新的国家中的一切,故B项正确。‎ C Do you have a younger brother?Does he always get in trouble?Well,there might be some science behind that.‎ According to a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,second-borns are more likely than first-borns to behave badly,which could be why you from time to time consider your younger brothers or sisters sprites.‎ Researchers,who explored data from tens of thousands of sibling(兄弟姐妹) pairs from Denmark and Florida,found second-borns are 20% to 40% more likely to have behavioral problems.If you’re the second-born child you may want to have a little chat with your parents.The reason why second-born siblings may be worse behaved than first-borns is that parents tend to pay less attention to them.‎ ‎“Second-born children tend to have less attention from the mother than their older siblings because first-born children experience their mother’s maternity leave (产假).First-borns enjoy the rewards of not only their own time with Mum following their birth,but the time Mum takes off with younger siblings,too,” the authors explain.‎ It’s not just about the parents,however.Speaking to NRP,co-author Joseph Doyle said,“The first-born has role models,who are adults.And the second,later-born children have role models who are slightly unreasonable 2-year-olds,you know,their older siblings.The difference of parental investments and the sibling influences probably contribute to these differences we see in the labor market and what we find in behaviors against rules,even against laws.It’s just very difficult to separate those two things because they happen at the same time.”‎ The results,the authors argue,have an important effect on social policy.‎ ‎28.What does the underlined word “sprites” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A.Losers. B.Troublemakers.‎ C.Close companions. D.Parents’ pets.‎ 答案:B 解析词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句中的“second-borns are more likely than first-borns to behave badly”可知,二胎孩子比第一个出生的孩子更有可能表现不佳;结合第一段第二句“Does he always get in trouble”可知,二胎孩子常常制造麻烦;故可推知,该画线词意为“调皮鬼,小淘气”,故B项正确。‎ ‎29.According to the report,what influences the second-born children’s behavior?‎ A.Challenges of their elder siblings.‎ B.Fewer chances of talking with others.‎ C.More family problems they are faced with.‎ D.The amount of attention they receive from parents.‎ 答案:D 解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The reason why second-born siblings may be worse behaved than first-borns is that parents tend to pay less attention to them.”可知,父母给予二胎孩子较少的关注影响了他们的行为。‎ ‎30.Joseph Doyle holds the opinion that the older siblings 　　　. ‎ A.have the same role models as their younger ones B.are not to blame for their younger siblings’ failure C.are partly responsible for their younger siblings’ problems D.affect the parental investment and the labor market participation 答案:C 解析推理判断题。根据第五段Joseph Doyle所说的话可知,不只是父母对二胎孩子的关注度会对他们的行为有一定的影响,家里比他们大的哥哥姐姐也会对他们的行为有一定的影响,故C项正确。‎ ‎31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A.Why the second-born tend to be misbehaved B.How parents improve family relationships C.Social policy guides family education D.Parents prefer first-born kids 答案:A 解析主旨大意题。本文是一篇说明文。研究表明,由于没有得到像父母给予第一个出生的孩子那样的关注,二胎孩子常常表现不好。文章就此现象进行了科学的解释。‎ D For all those who agree with Neil Gaiman’s motto in American Gods that “a town isn’t a town without a bookstore,”what might be the perfect holiday choice has just been listed on Airbnb:the chance to become a bookseller for a week or two.‎ For the total cost of ￡150 a week,guests at The Open Book in Wigtown,Scotland’s national book town,will be expected to sell books for 40 hours a week while living in the flat above the shop.Given training in bookselling from Wigtown’s community of booksellers,they will also have the chance to put their “own stamp” on the store while they’re there.“The Open Book’s aim is to celebrate bookshops,encourage education in running independent bookshops and welcome people around the world to Scotland’s national book town,”says the Airbnb listing.‎ The Open Book is leased(出租) by the Wigtown Book Festival from a local family.Organisers have been letting paying volunteers run the shop for a week or two at a time,and opened the experience up to the world at large.‎ ‎“I wouldn’t call it a working holiday,”said Adrian Turpin,director of the Wigtown Book Festival.“It’s not about cheap labour(体力劳动)—it’s about offering people an experience.”The money is “just necessary to cover our costs,”said Turpin,admitting that“it can be a hard life,selling books in a small town,so it’s not a holiday for everybody.”‎ ‎“I think the shop would have closed,without this,”he said.“So part of the idea was to get new people in—people who would hopefully end up having a good time and a long-standing relationship with the town.”‎ The idea comes at a difficult moment for independent booksellers.In 2005,there were 1,535 independent bookshops in the UK,with the number dropping to 939 by 2014.‎ So far,The Open Book has been leased around 10 times,with guests including those from The Bookshop Band,a librarian from Portland,a Dutch government employee,and an 80-year-old couple.‎ ‎“It is playing shop in a way,but they are truly selling books,”said Turpin.“Wigtown has only 800 people,but it’s a real community of bookshop owners.The aim is that people come and take part in the community.”‎ ‎32.What does Airbnb offer?‎ A.Neil Gaiman’s books.‎ B.Mottos of famous people.‎ C.A chance to run a bookstore.‎ D.A holiday trip to small towns.‎ 答案:C 解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...what might be the perfect holiday choice has just been listed on Airbnb:the chance to become a bookseller for a week or two.”可知,Airbnb提供经营书店的机会。‎ ‎33.What can be learned about The Open Book?‎ A.It costs ￡150 every day.‎ B.It aims to develop bookstores.‎ C.It offers a free flat for customers.‎ D.It requires booksellers with selling skills.‎ 答案:B 解析推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The Open Book’s aim is to celebrate bookshops,encourage education in running independent bookshops and welcome people around the world to Scotland’s national book town.”可知,该出租活动旨在发展书店。‎ ‎34.What’s Adrian Turpin’s opinion on the Wigtown Book Festival?‎ A.It’s an awful experience.‎ B.It should raise its charges.‎ C.It has saved the bookstore.‎ D.It’s a festival for everyone.‎ 答案:C 解析推理判断题。根据第五段中的“I think the shop would have closed,without this...”可知,Adrian Turpin认为这个图书节拯救了这个书店。‎ ‎35.What’s the present situation of The Open Book?‎ A.It faces a difficult time.‎ B.It attracts various people.‎ C.It has never been leased yet.‎ D.It has set up a community nearby.‎ 答案:B 解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“with guests including those from The Bookshop Band,a librarian from Portland,a Dutch government employee,and an 80-year-old couple”可知,该书店的出租活动吸引了各种各样的人。‎ 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ New lives for old phones When a new mobile phone starts to be sold in stores,many people rush out to buy one.We all want the newest,latest thing.　36　 ‎ Mike Townsend works at Total Recall,a mobile phone recycling(回收利用) company.“Don’t throw your old phone away.　37　 If you throw it away,it goes with other rubbish to become landfill(填埋的垃圾).In other words,it is put in a big hole in the ground—and it becomes a big problem,”he says. ‎ Mobile phones contain some poisonous materials(物质).If your phone goes to a landfill,these poisonous materials can get out and get into the water under the ground.That’s the water we need to drink or water that goes into rivers or the ocean.　38　 That’s a lot of landfill and a lot of poisonous materials. ‎ ‎“At Total Recall,we separate the old phones into pieces.Most of the materials in a mobile phone can be recycled and used again.　39　 For example,phone batteries(电池) contain nickel and cadmium.The nickel is used to make steel(钢),and the cadmium can be used to make new batteries,”explains Mike. ‎ ‎“　40　 You can usually just take it into a mobile phone shop and they’ll send it to us,”says Mike. ‎ So,before you throw that old mobile phone away,use it one last time: search for a recycler near you and give them a call.‎ A.Send it to us and we’ll recycle it.‎ B.Recycling your old phone is easy.‎ C.How much is our old mobile phone worth?‎ D.But what should we do with our old mobile phones?‎ E.Millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year.‎ F.We sell the parts and they are used to make new products.‎ G.Recycling materials helps keep the environment greener and cleaner.‎ 答案:36~40 DAEFB 第三部分　英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)‎ 第一节　完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ About six years ago I was going through a tough time,trying to work two jobs to afford my rent.On a cold Sunday morning,I went to GameStop—a video game retailer (零售商),to 　41　 the game I’d reserved.A woman in a car parked outside called me when I 　42　 the store.Though it was in broad daylight,I was 　43　 about it and kept some distance when I walked over.She said she couldn’t walk and 　44　 me to purchase a Kinect,a popular game,for her as her 　45　 Christmas gift.Due to her leg disease it was 　46　 for her to move around.She called ahead but the employee wasn’t willing to 　47　.She gave me about $100 in cash and her credit card. ‎ I walked back in and bought the Kinect.Then it occurred to me that this woman,a complete stranger,　48　 me.What was it that stopped me from lying about the payment method and just 　49　 her cash?She couldn’t know I wasn’t a 　50　;and how could she possibly have so much 　51　 someone? ‎ I handed her the cash back,　52　 I had to pay with her card—it was above $ 100 at the time,and handed over the 　53　 and her credit card.“This is what my son’s been longing ‎ for.Thank you!By the way,just from 　54　 at you,I know you are the one who’ll be a friend to someone　55　.You have a face of an angel!” she said.She gave me $ 10 and 　56　 to take it back.Then she 　57　,saying “Merry Christmas!” ‎ She had no idea how much of

being gifted something amazing. ‎ ‎41.A.donate B.cancel C.win D.return 答案:B 解析由该句“I went to GameStop—a video game retailer(零售商),to 　41　 the game I’d reserved”,以及上文提到的我处境艰难可知,我是去游戏零售商那里取消订单的,故B项符合语境。donate “捐赠”;cancel “取消”;win “获胜”;return “返回”。 ‎ ‎42.A.kept B.approached C.decorated D.exited 答案:D 解析由该句“A woman in a car parked outside called me when I 　42　 the store.”以及下文中的walked back in可知,此处表示我走出商店时,一位女士叫住了我。D项exited “退出,离开”,符合语境。keep“保持”;approach “靠近”;decorate “装饰,修饰”,都与语境不符。 ‎ ‎43.A.shy B.crazy C.disappointed D.positive 答案:A 解析根据该句“Though it was in broad daylight...kept some distance when I walked over.”可知,尽管当时是大白天,我走过去时还是和她保持一定的距离。be shy of/about (doing) sth.“对(做)……心怀顾忌”符合语境,故A项正确;crazy “疯狂的”;disappointed “失望的”;positive “积极的”,都与语境不符。‎ ‎44.A.forbade B.encouraged C.requested D.allowed 答案:C 解析根据该句中的“She said she couldn’t walk and 　44　 me to purchase a Kinect,a popular game...”可知,她无法行走,请我帮她购买一款名为Kinect的游戏。C项request “请求”,符合语境。forbid“禁止”;encourage “鼓励”;allow “允许”,都与语境不符。 ‎ ‎45.A.own B.employer’s C.husband’s D.son’s 答案:D 解析根据下文中的my son’s,并结合该句中的“a popular game,for her as her 　45　 Christmas gift”可知,这位女士买游戏是要作为圣诞礼物送给她儿子的,故D项正确。 ‎ ‎46.A.painful B.convenient C.funny D.secure 答案:A 解析根据该句中的“Due to her leg disease...”可推知,她行走时会感到疼痛;因此 painful “疼痛的”,符合语境。convenient “方便的”;funny “有趣的”;secure “安全的”,都与语境不符。‎ ‎47.A.order B.share C.help D.pay 答案:C 解析由该句中的“She called ahead but the employee wasn’t willing to 　47　”,再结合上文描述的她坐在车里,由于腿部有病无法行走可知,她提前打过电话,但是店员不愿意帮助她。故选C项。 ‎ ‎48.A.fooled B.trusted

‎49.A.throwing B.tearing C.pocketing D.losing 答案:C 解析由第一段最后一句“She gave me about $100 in cash and her credit card.”可知,她不但给了我100美元现金,还给了我信用卡;结合该句“What was it that stopped me from lying about the payment method and just 　49　 her cash...”可知,我没有用其他方式支付而将她的现金据为己有;pocket “将……据为己有”,符合语境。throw “扔”;tear “撕开”;lose“丟失”,都与语境不符。 ‎ ‎50.A.video game maker B.porter C.game seller D.cheat 答案:D 解析由上一句“What was it that stopped me from lying about the payment method and just 　49　 her cash?”再结合第一段中她将现金和信用卡交给我的描述可知,她不可能知道我不是一个骗子,而她怎么可能这么相信他人。cheat “骗子”,符合语境。video game maker “电子游戏制造商”;porter “杂务工,服务员”;game seller “游戏销售者”,都与语境不符。 ‎ ‎51.A.patience with B.faith in C.respect for D.mercy on 答案:B 解析这里指她不可能相信别人。have faith in patience with“对……有耐心”;have respect for“尊敬……”;have mercy on“对……仁慈”,都与语境不符。‎ ‎52.A.arguing

“解释,说明”,符合语境。argue “争论”;lie“撒谎”;promise“承诺”,都与语境不符。 ‎ ‎53.A.game B.cheque C.ticket D.change 答案:A 解析由第一段中的“to purchase a Kinect,a popular game”可知,她想要为儿子买一款流行的游戏;结合该句中的“and handed over the 　53　 and her

one”可知,她一看到我,就知道我会成为患难时的朋友。glance“一瞥,扫视”,符合语境。laugh“笑”;yell“叫喊”;point“指”,都与语境不符。 ‎ ‎55.A.in need B.in public C.in return D.in danger 答案:A 解析这里指在人们遇到困难时,我会成为他们的朋友。in need “在困难时”,符合语境。in public“公开地”;in return “作为回报”;in danger “处于危险中”,都与语境不符。‎ ‎56.A.offered B.managed C.refused D.decided 答案:C 解析由该句“She gave me $10 and 　56　 to take it back.”可知,她递给我10美元,并拒绝收回。refuse“拒绝”,符合语境。offer “提供”;manage “设法做成”;decide “决定”,都与语境不符。 ‎ ‎57.A.came over B.drove away C.fell down D.pulled up 答案:B 解析由该句“Then she 　57　,saying ‘Merry Christmas’”和第一段中的“A woman in a car parked outside called

“利润”,都与语境不符。 ‎ ‎59.A.happy B.carefree C.confusing D.hard 答案:D 解析由文章首句中的a tough time可知,D项“艰难的”符合语境。‎ ‎60.A.finally B.therefore C.however D.otherwise 答案:C
