If you have ever been to his concert, you know that getting on stage is no small   36   for him.

If a driver makes any of these offences, the points will be recorded. When the driver gets a certain number of points, he will be forbidden to drive for a certain amount of time.‎ What are the purposes of this system?‎ This is a system designed to make road much safer. It can improve standards of driving and reduce the accident rates.‎ Which traffic offences will result in Driving Offence points?‎ Of course, not all traffic offences are covered by this system. Only those that have direct effect on road safety are included. There are altogether fourteen items.‎ Code Offence Point ‎1‎ Causing death by dangerous driving ‎ ‎10‎ ‎2‎ Dangerous driving ‎ ‎10‎ ‎3‎ Careless driving ‎ ‎5‎ ‎4‎ Driving after drinking or taking drugs ‎10‎ ‎5‎ Driving over speed limit ‎ ‎3‎ ‎6‎ Driving in a motor rave on the road ‎10‎ ‎7‎ Failing to stop after an accident ‎ ‎3‎ ‎8‎ Failing to give information after an accident ‎ ‎3‎ ‎9‎ Failing to report an accident ‎3‎ ‎10‎ Failing to obey directions of police officers ‎3‎ ‎11‎ Crossing double white lines ‎3‎ ‎12‎ Failing to obey traffic signals ‎3‎ ‎13‎ Failing to give way to walkers at a crosswalk Failing to stop for people walking ‎3‎ ‎14‎ Failing to stop at school crossing ‎3‎ What will happen if you have got up to 10 points?‎ If you have got 10 points or above, but still less than 15 points, you will receive a warning letter from the Transport Department.

It is hoped that this warning will change your driving behavior for the better.‎ What will happen if you have got 15 points?‎ If you have got 15 points or more within two years, a court will take away your driving license. The first time you are found guilty you will not be able to drive for three months, but if you are caught a second time you will not be able to drive for six months.‎ ‎51.

It originated with the German physician Samuel Hahnemann (1755—1843). He came across the cinchona, the bark of a South American tree that was used by the local people to treat fevers. Among the active ingredients in the bark is quinine（奎宁), which is still used to treat malaria. If a healthy person took cinchona, he or she would have symptoms (症状) of malaria. In 1796 and 1810, Hahnemann published essays on the theories of homeopathy: substances that cause illnesses or symptoms in people can be used in small doses as treatment. Supporters of homeopathy viewed it as a safe, patient-centered system. Hahnemann claimed he could cure any and all illnesses using homeopathic principles.‎ ‎ However, the Australian council sought to evaluate this claim once and for all. Their assessment was based on the analysis of 57 published systematic reviews encompassing 176 individual studies, independent evaluation of evidence provided by homeopathy interest groups and the public, and clinical practice guidelines and reports on homeopathy from other governments. Studies were only considered if they were case-controlled, meaning they compared a group of patients receiving homeopathic treatments with a control group. The council who oversaw this review consisted of experts in conventional-based medicine as well as complementary and alternative medicines. As a guideline, for a treatment to be considered effective, it must result in health improvements that cannot be explained by the placebo (安慰剂) effect, these improvements must be meaningful for a person’s overall health and the results have to be seen consistently in several studies. A draft of the report was reviewed by a group of independent experts in complementary medicine research and opened up for public ‎ consultation before it was finalized.‎ ‎ Eventually, the council found no reliable evidence that homeopathic treatments were effective. Studies that did find homeopathy to be effective were overall of poor scientific quality, used too few patients or lacked evidence on which to base their conclusions. Rejecting proven medical treatments in favor of homeopathy for chronic or potentially serious conditions could place people at risk. As always, use of homeopathic or other remedies should be discussed with your physician in order to make informed healthcare decisions. ‎ ‎53. We can learn from the passage that homeopathy is a system of medicine in which __________.‎ A. patients are given very small amounts of a drug that produces symptoms in healthy people B. patients are evaluated by using very small amounts of the substance causing illness or symptoms C. patients would have symptoms of malaria if they took cinchona ‎ D. patients relying on homeopathy can explain their health improvements by the placebo effect ‎54. The underlined word “encompassing” can most probably be replaced by __________.‎ A. encouraging B. searching C. conducting D. including ‎55. When evaluating homeopathic treatments, the Australian council was most concerned about ________________.‎ A. the source of the data to be analyzed ‎ B. the criteria of an effective treatment C. the objectivity and reliability of the evaluation ‎ D. the experts involved in the evaluation ‎56. Which of the following reasons for the ineffectiveness of homeopathic treatments is NOT mentioned in the passage?‎ A. Studies about homeopathic treatments were not scientifically accurate.‎ B. Hahnemann’s theories about homeopathic treatments got no response. ‎ C. Conclusions of homeopathic treatments were short of solid evidence.‎ D. Blind use of homeopathic treatments might put people in danger.‎ C ‎ I’m sitting here in this coffee shop. You know the one there by Allen street. The town is filled with thousands of middle class college kids living off their parent’s money. ‎ ‎ The coffee shop is where the ones come to play the part of sophisticated bohemians (放荡不羁的文化人). The pretensions (自命不凡) glow from their line-less faces as they sip cappuccinos and chew strawberry cookies. The boys to my right are discussing Nabokov with a serious air, a copy of Sartre’s Cuba lies on the table. ‎ ‎ The young woman on my left is declaring that she can never allow her creativity to be killed by entering the work force. The man with her scratches his goatee (胡子) in agreement, occasionally suggesting they go back to his place to hear his new Washington Squares CD. Matt has just designed a new international symbol for peace. He moves from table to table trying to sell hand painted T-shirts that bear the design. Tomorrow he’s leaving for the 25th anniversary Woodstock concert where he hopes to strike it rich with his creation.‎ ‎ Gopha the skinny Indian boy feels like singing me a verse of ‘It Ain’t Me Babe’ when I ask him if he’s a friend of Monica’s. Jason is trying to talk Gopha into a dollar bet on a game of chess. Between times Jason will chew your ear off with his plans to conquer the music industry while studying entertainment law, but when it comes to his never ending dollar chess matches he’s quiet as a church mouse. ‎ ‎ I sit among them. To all surface appearances one and the same. If they could only see I would rather reach into their flesh and tear out their shallow little hearts than listen to another second of their prattle (闲扯). ‎ ‎ With no job, no gigs, and my girlfriend’s so far gone she might as well be on another planet, I’ve been leading the writer’s quiet cafe life, spending my free time outdoors drinking iced teas and cheap wines. I chat warmly with whoever decides to squander away their hours in my surrounding area. ‎ ‎ But behind my eyes is an unspoken challenge to any and every one of these social elites (精英) to just once say one thing that would inspire me. Just one little idea which is new and meaningful. Unfortunately original thoughts are zero here. ‎ ‎ In my secret mind I wish to run like a madman banging gongs and speaking in tongues. Or maybe jump on a table and sing the Star Spangled Banner in the forgotten language of the ‎ Hottentots. I know these thoughts only reveal me as a fool because the spark I search for cannot be found in acts of shocking performance art. Where it truly comes from is one of the mysteries which will always hang around me.‎ ‎57. The college students in the coffee shop can be described as ______.‎ A. shallow and aimless B. determined and independent C. vain and ambitious D. honest and hardworking ‎ ‎58. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?‎ A. Matt’s T-shirts will be a hit at the concert and bring him wealth.‎ B. Jason seems to show more enthusiasm in the dollar chess matches. ‎ C. The young woman agrees to listen to a new Washington Squares CD. ‎ D. The hero envies the lifestyle of the college students in the coffee shop. ‎ ‎59. Why is the hero in the coffee shop?‎ A. To recall the pleasant memories. ‎ B. To relieve his sorrows and worries.‎ C. To know what is in fashion nowadays. ‎ ‎ D. To find something new to inspire himself.‎ ‎60. What does the passage imply?‎ A. The hero is sure that he can find the original thoughts in a crazy way.‎ B. The hero is disappointed at the college students failing his expectation.‎ C. The hero is quite content with his quiet café life as a writer.‎ D. The hero is lost in the physical world and hopeless about his future.‎ D ‎ In this passage adapted from a novel, a Canadian woman recalls for her childhood during the 1960s. Originally from China, the family travelled to Irvine, Ontario, Canada, where the parents opened a restaurant, the Dragon Café.‎ ‎ As a young girl I never really thought about my parents’ lives in Irvine, how small their world must have seemed, never extending beyond the Dragon Café. Every day my parents did the same jobs in the restaurant. I watched the same customers come for meals, for morning coffee, for afternoon soft drinks and French fries. For my parents one day was like the next. They settled into an uneasy and distant relationship with each other. Their love,‎ ‎ their tenderness, they gave to me.‎ ‎ But my life was changing. I became taller and bigger, my second teeth grew in white and straight. At school I began to learn about my adopted country. I spoke English like a native, without a trace of an accent. I played, though, and dreamed in the language of our Irvine neighbors. A few years later and I would no longer remember a time when I didn't speak their words and read their books. But my father and Uncle Yat still spoke the same halting English. My mother spoke only a few words. I began to translate conversations they had with the customers, switching between English and Chinese. Whenever I stepped outside the restaurant it seemed I was entering a world unknown to my family: school, church, friends' houses, the town beyond Main Street, I found it hard to imagine a year without winter any more, a home other than Irvine.‎ ‎ For my mother, though, home would always be China. In Irvine she lived among strangers, unable to speak their language. Whenever she talked about happy times, they were during her childhood in that distant land. A wistful smile would soften her face as she told me about sleeping and playing with her sister in the attic above her parents' bedroom. She once showed me a piece of jade-green silk cloth that was frayed and worn around the edge. In the center was a white lotus floating in varying shades of blue water, the embroidery(刺绣) so fine that when I held it at arm's length the petals looked real. I had been helping her store away my summer clothes in the brown leather suitcase from Hong Kong when I noticed a piece of shiny material spread it on her lap. “My mother embroidered this herself. I was going to have it made into a cushion, but then my life changed and over here there seems to be no place for lovely things. It's all I have that reminds me of her,” she said. “Maybe, Sun-Jen, one day you will do something with it.” I admired the cloth some more, then she carefully folded it and stored it back in her suitcase.‎ ‎ There was little left from her old life. She said it was so long ago that sometimes it felt as if it had never happened. But she described her life with such clarity and vividness that I knew all those memories lived on inside her. There was so little in this new country that gave her pleasure. The good things she found were related in some way to China: an aria from a Chinese opera, a letter from a relative back home or from Aunt Hai-Lan in Toronto, written in Chinese, a familiar-looking script that I couldn't read and that had nothing to do with my ‎ life in Canada.‎ ‎ There were times when I felt guilty about my own happiness in Irvine. We had come to Canada because of me, but I was the only one who had found a home.‎ ‎61.In the opening paragraph, the narrator emphasizes primarily________ about her parents.‎ A. the dependability B. the diligence C. their routine lives D. their evolving relationship ‎62.The primary purpose of the second paragraph is to ________.‎ A. provide insight into the motivations of the narrator's parents and uncle B. emphasize the great transformation the narrator undergoes C. describe the complex interrelationships in the narrator's family D. reveal the narrator’s preference for a cold climate over a warm one ‎63.According to the narrator, her mother experienced feelings of ________ in Canada.‎ A. isolation B. confusion C. stability D. security ‎64.The items mentioned in paragraph 4 had meaning for the mother because they ________.‎ A. introduced her to a world rich in culture ‎ B. helped connect the narrator and her mother C. supplied her with familiar associations ‎ D. provided relief from her boring work routine ‎65.Which of the following best characterizes the narrator’s development?‎ A. She grows apart from the cultural tradition of her parents.‎ B. She overcomes the guilt she felt about her new found happiness.‎ C. She begins to view the inhabitants of Irvine from her mother’s perspective.‎ D. She communicates less and less with her parents.‎ ‎ 第II卷 （三部分 共40分）‎ 第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题l分，满分l0分)‎ 请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。‎ Goals are the guides all through our life. We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never ‎ reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation.‎ Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We don’t take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way. ‎ Let’s use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead. ‎ What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion. ‎ So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”, “Patience is a virtue”, and so on. ‎ Have patience, have appreciation for what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.‎ ‎ Title ‎ Focus on the present ‎ Theme To (66) ▲　 our goals, we should focus on what we have and where we are now.‎ Common ‎ ‎﹡We do not focus on our present situation. ‎ ‎﹡Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone to our final destination.‎ ‎(67) ▲ ‎ ‎﹡We do not spend the time truly (68) ▲　 where we are today and what we already have in our lives.‎ ‎(69) An ▲　‎ ‎﹡ (70) ▲　 the thought of getting promoted.

As you can see, it is on the North Bank of the River Thames. It is the center of an important industry in the everyday life of the British people. Tea is the British national drink. Every man, woman and child over ten years of age, has on average over four cups a day, or some one thousand five hundred cups annually. About 30 percent of the world’s export of tea makes its way to London. And Britain is by far the largest importer of tea in the world.‎ Now in the second picture, you can see how tea is tasted in the Tea Trade Centre before it is sold. Here, different types of tea are tasted by skilled tea-tasters before they are sold at each week’s tea sale. It’s amazing to see them at work! Over a hundred kinds of tea are laid out in a line on a long table. The tasters generally taste tea with milk, since that is how the majority of British people drink their tea. The tasters move down the line with surprising speed, tasting from a spoon and deciding what is a fair price for each tea. After that, they ‎21.B ‎【解析】考查动词词义辨析。announce“宣布”；allocate“分配，分派，把……拨给”；advocate“提倡，拥护”；accumulate“积累”。句意：为了确保贫困地区的孩子能够受到平等的教育，政府已经计划拨更多的钱来改善当地学校的环境。故选B。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎22.D ‎【解析】考查非谓语动词和宾语从句。根据句意“将有一场弓箭比赛，目的是为了（be designed to do sth目的是......，被设计做某事）重新讲述过去平原印第安人是如何（how）寻觅食物的。”和句子结构可知第一个空及后面的部分是修饰前面的名词competition作定语的，因“be designed to do sth目的是......”是固定搭配，又因此空是作定语，所以得用非谓语动词的形式，即designed to do sth（过去分词短语作定语，表被动。）又因第二个空及后面的句子是动词retell的宾语，所以是宾语从句，再看宾语从句中不少成分，故排除what（在宾从从句中常作主语、宾语、表语和定语）,所以填how。故选D。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎23.B ‎【解析】句意:约翰因对山村比较熟悉而被任命为我们的向导。on account of因为,由于,符合句意。in spite of尽管;regardless of不管,不顾;instead of代替,而不是。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎24.C ‎【解析】考查代词。因“主语+ dislike （或like ,prefer, appreciate, hate. Love…）+ it + when/if从句”是固定句型， it 在句中无实义。本句的意思是“当人们不看名片的时候他们不喜欢，所以记住不要不看就把他们放进你的口袋里。”故选C。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎25.A ‎【解析】考查名词。根据句意“David现在是5000米世界纪录的保持者,但是这并不能保证（guarantee）他在奥运会上能够取得胜利。”可知A项符合语境之意。故选A。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎26.A ‎【解析】考查非谓语动词。as引导的让步状语从句用了倒装，该部分属于“sb. be disappointed to do…”结构，不定式作状语；“面试失败”发生在“感到失望之前”，故不定式应用完成式，A项正确。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎27.B ‎【解析】考查虚拟语气。因在“It is important/necessary/strange… that 主语+ should do…”这个that引导的主语从句中，如果前面的形容词是important/necessary/proper/strange/natural/urgent/essential/‎ vital等词时，从句常用“should +动词原形”的形式（美国英语常省略should,只用动词原形。）是虚拟语气的用法。本句的意思是“为了成功，你们应该乐观并从失败中学习是很重要的。”故选B。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎28.C ‎【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意：——Tom。你的外教中文说得很流利。——她住在中国六年了。要不然她不会汉语说得如此好。otherwise从句中用“would+动词原形”表示对现在事实的虚拟。故选C。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎29.B ‎【解析】考查定语从句。根据句意“在现代教育中，我认为学生们应该参与各种各样的活动，尤其是那些他们能从中获得成长经验的活动。”可知空及后面的句子修饰前面的代词those（代替前面提到的名词activities）作定语，所以是定语从句，且关系词在定语从句中作状语，相当于in various activities,所以符合where的用法，故选B。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎30.C ‎【解析】考查独立主格结构。句意：因为空中管制，所有航班都被取消了，乘客们不得不等在候机厅里。all flights和put off存在着逻辑上的主谓关系，排除A和Ｄ项，put off表被动，排除B项。C项表被动完成，作非谓语动词符合句意。选择C项。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎31.B ‎【解析】考查虚拟语气。would rather“宁愿”后接句子时,句子谓语习惯上要用虚拟语气,具体用法为：1．用一般过去时表示现在或将来的愿望。2.用过去完成时表过去的愿望。本句的意思是“这些天我太忙，我宁愿你们都下周再来吃饭。”故选B。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎32.A ‎【解析】考查代词。根据句意“在社会角色确定的社会里，男孩通常效仿他们父亲的行为，女孩通常效仿他们母亲的行为。”可知此空填的词是代替前面提到的名词behavior的，为了避免名词重复出现，所以要用代词来代替。that,those, one和the ones都可以代替前面提到的名词，他们的共同特点是：名词后面都有定语来修饰（常跟的定语有介词短语、过去分词短语或定语从句）；其区别是：that可指代可数名词单数（表“人”的名词除外）和不可数名词,表特指（即名词前有定冠词the）, 如本句的“the behavior of their fathers”即“the + 不可数名词+介词短语” 就符合that的用法，即that of their mothers；those的用法同that，所不同的是，those指代可数名词的复数, 此时those= the ones;而 one 只指代可数名词的单数，既可代指人的名词又可代不指人的名词，表泛指。故选A。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎33.C ‎【解析】考查虚拟语气。虚拟语气用在含蓄条件句中，此句的条件暗含在but for引导的短语中，意思是“要不是……”，而且考查的还是错综条件句（即给的条件是过去发生的事，而通过主句给的时间状语now可知主句的动作是发生在现在。）所以主句谓语动词该用“would+动词原形”的形式，再根据选项来看只有C项才符合现在的结构（即would+动词原形），只不过用了would (not)be doing的形式，表现在正在进行而已，也符合now的用法（即常用现在进行时）；而A项would (not )+have done(完成式)，是表示与过去事实相反主句的结构。此句的意思该是“我上高中的时候，要不是我老师的帮助，我现在不会正在复旦大学学习。”故选C。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎34.D ‎【解析】考查习惯用语。根据本对话的意思“面对面试官他紧张吗？他很冷静，并且他甚至还弄出一些笑话来。”可知D项（as cool as a cucumber是美国人经常用的一个习惯用语，通常用来描述人们遇到困难时也能保持冷静，从容不迫，泰然处之。）符合语境之意。A项down in the dumps“情绪低落，气馁，沮丧”；B项fly off the handle “大发脾气,勃然大怒”；C项over the moon“欣喜若狂”。故选D。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎35.B ‎【解析】查非谓语动词。句意：把一个重要的决定更多地建立在情感基础上，而不是以理性思考为基础，你迟早会后悔的。此处动词base与其逻辑主语you之间构成主动关系，所以用现在分词做状语，故选B项。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎36．D ‎【解析】根据下句可知本句的意思该是“如果你参加过他的音乐会，你就会知道对于他来说上舞台可不是个小的成就（achievement成绩，成就）”所以 D项符合语境之意。故选D。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎37．A ‎【解析】根据空后面的内容可知此句的意思该是“他小的时候就被诊断出（be diagnosed with  被诊断出，被诊断为）了一种严重的疾病，所以他得借助两根拐杖走路。”可知A项符合语境之意。故选A。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎38．C ‎【解析】根据上句“但是这次，某个地方出了问题了。”的意思可知此句的意思该是“就在他完成前几首曲子的时候，他的小提琴上的一根弦断了（break）。”所以C项符合语境之意。故选C。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎39．A ‎【解析】根据上句“……但是他没有停止这场音乐会。”的意思可知本句的意思该是“相反（instead相反，反而），他等了一会，闭上眼睛，然后向指挥示意再开始。”所以A项符合语境之意。故选A。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎40．B ‎【解析】根据上句的意思可知本句的意思该是“相反，他等了一会，闭上眼睛，然后向指挥示意（signal用动作或手势示意，向……发信号）再开始。”所以B项符合语境之意。故选B。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎41．D ‎【解析】根据上文和本句空后的的意思可知本句意思应是“…任何人都知道只用三根弦演奏和谐的作品是不可能的（impossible）”所以 D项符合语境之意。故选D。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎42．B ‎【解析】根据下文可知本句的意思该是“我知道那个，并且你知道那个，但是那天晚上这位小提琴家拒绝（refuse）知道那个。”所以B项符合语境之意。故选B。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎43．D ‎【解析】根据上一句可知本句的意思该是“从观众席的每个角落爆发出非常热烈的掌声（applause掌声，喝彩，热烈鼓掌）”所以 D项符合语境之意。故选D。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎44．A ‎【解析】根据本句的意思“…有时弄清楚（find out弄清楚，弄明白）用你所剩余的乐器你仍然还能演奏出多少乐曲是艺术家的任务。” 可知A项符合语境之意。 show off炫耀，卖弄；get through完成，穿过，打通；turn out 结果是；被证明是。故选A。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎45．C ‎【解析】根据本句的意思“…有时弄清楚用你所剩余的乐器你仍然（still）还能创造出多少乐曲是艺术家的任务。”可知C项符合语境之意。故选C。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎46．D ‎【解析】根据上文可知本句的意思该是“自从我听到它以来这个强大的乐谱线（line）就一直在我的脑海里。”所以D项符合语境之意。故选D。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎47．B ‎【解析】根据上下文可知本句的意思该是“也许那就是人生的真谛（definition 定义，解释，界定）—不只是对于艺术家而是对于我们大家。”所以B项符合语境之意。故选B。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎48．A ‎【解析】根据上下文可知本句的意思该是“为了在四根弦的小提琴上演奏出乐曲他已经准备（prepare）了一生，但是突然在音乐会中间，他发现自己只能用三根炫了，于是他就用三根弦演奏了乐曲，并且那天晚上他演奏的乐曲更美，更难忘。”所以A项符合语境之意，故选A。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎49．C ‎【解析】根据上下文可知本句的意思该是“为了在四根炫的小提琴上演奏出乐曲他已经准备了一生，但是突然（suddenly）在音乐会中间，他发现自己只能用三根弦了，于是他就用三根弦演奏了乐曲，并且那天晚上他演奏的乐曲更美，更难忘。”所以C项符合语境之意。故选C。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎50．C ‎【解析】根据上文可知本句的意思该是“所以，也许在人生的舞台上我们的任务（task）就是演奏乐曲，起初是用我们所拥有的一切来演奏，后来，当那不再有可能的时候，我们就得用我们剩余的来演奏乐曲了。”所以C项符合语境之意。故选C。‎ ‎【备注】本文主要讲述了一个身患重病的小提琴艺术家在他演奏会的中间，突然他的小提琴的炫断了一根，可是他没有停止音乐会，而是继续用三根弦演奏完了他的乐曲，赢得了在场观众的热烈掌声。由此作者也悟出了一个道理：也许在人生的舞台上我们的任务就是演奏乐曲，起初是用我们所拥有的一切来演奏，后来，当那不再有可能的时候，我们就得用我们剩余的来演奏乐曲了。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎51．D ‎【解析】细节理解题。根据记分制度第4项可知酒驾扣10分，根据第5项可知超速扣3分，根据第12项可知闯红灯扣3分，一共16分。故选D。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎52．C ‎【解析】细节理解题。根据“If you have got 15 points or more within two years, a court will take away your driving license. The first time you are found guilty you will not be able to drive for three months,”可知当你第一次被计满15分时，你就会被禁驾三个月。故选C。‎ ‎【备注】这篇短文主要介绍了违例驾驶记分制度中的一些处罚措施。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎53．A ‎【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段的句子“Homeopathy is the oldest form of complementary and alternative medicines from Europe.和Hahnemann published essays on the theories of homeopathy: substances that cause illnesses or symptoms in people can be used in small doses （小剂量）as treatment.” 可推断出顺势疗法是一种医学体系，在这个体系中，病人被给小剂量的药丸就能在健康的人身上产生症状。所以A是原文的言外之意。其他选项的表述都不符合原文之意，更谈不上暗示或言外之意了。故选A。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎54．D ‎【解析】词义猜测题。根据本句“Their assessment was based on the analysis of 57 published systematic reviewsencompassing176 individual studies, independent evaluation of evidence provided by homeopathy interest groups and the public, and clinical practice guidelines and reports on homeopathy from other governments.”的意思“他们的评估是基于57个被发表的系统评价分析，包括（including）176个个人研究、被顺势疗法兴趣小组和公众所提供的证据的独立评估和关于来自其他政府的顺势疗法的临床实践指南和报告。”可知画线词最有可能的意思是 “包括”，所以D项可以取代这个词，即 D项符合语境之意。故选D。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎55．C ‎【解析】细节理解题。根据第二、三段的表述可知当评价顺势疗法时，澳大利亚议会很关心评价的客观性和可靠性，所以C符合原文之意。故选C。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎56．B ‎【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“Studies that did find homeopathy to be effective were overall of poor scientific quality, used too few patients or lacked evidence on which to base their conclusions. Rejecting proven medical treatments in favor of homeopathy for chronic or potentially serious conditions could place people at risk.”可知A项（关于顺势疗法的研究没有科学依据）、C项（顺势疗法的结论缺乏实证）和D项（盲目地使用顺势疗法可能会让人们陷入危险之中）都提到了顺势疗法无效的理由。只有B项（Hahnemann关于顺势疗法的理论没有得到回应）没有提到顺势疗法无效的理由。故选B。‎ ‎【备注】本文主要讲述了来自欧洲的最古老的可互补的和可替代药物的顺势疗法。这种顺势疗法指的是来自南美的一种金鸡纳树皮能够治疗发烧和疟疾。如果健康人吃了这种树皮，他/她就会有疟疾的症状。可是经过很多人的研究、顺势疗法兴趣小组和公众所提供的证据的独立评估和关于来自其他政府的顺势疗法的临床实践指南和报告证明这种顺势疗法无效，并给出了理由。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎57．C ‎【解析】细节理解题。根据第一、二段的句子“The town is filled with thousands of middle class college kids living off their parent’s money. The coffee shop is where the ones come to play the part of sophisticated bohemians (放荡不羁的文化人). The pretensions (自命不凡) glow from their line-less faces as they sip cappuccinos and chew strawberry cookies.”可知咖啡店里的大学生可以被描述为虚荣和野心，所以C项符合原文之意。故选C。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎58．B ‎【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段可知A和C项的表述与原文不符；再根据第五、六、七和八段可知D项（其中hero的意思是：男主角）的表述与原文不符，所以A、C和D项都属于not true的范畴；再根据第四段的句子“Jason is trying to talk Gopha into a dollar bet on a game of chess. Between times Jason will chew your ear off with his plans to conquer the music industry while studying entertainment law, but when it comes to his never ending dollar chess matches he’s quiet as a church mouse. ”可知B项“Jason好像是对美元象棋比赛表现出更多的热情”的表述符合原文之意，属于true的范畴。故选B。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎59．D ‎【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的句子“But behind my eyes is an unspoken challenge to any and every one of these social elites (精英) to just once say one thing that would inspire me. Just one little idea which is new and meaningful. Unfortunately original thoughts are zero here.”可知男主角在咖啡店是为了找到一些新东西来激励自己。所以D项符合原文之意。故选D。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎60．B ‎【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的最后一句“Unfortunately original thoughts are zero here.”和最后一段“I know these thoughts only reveal me as a fool because the spark I search for cannot be found in acts of shocking performance art.”的句子可以暗示出：男主角对大学生们未能达到他的期望值而感到失望。所以B项是作者的言外之意。故选B。‎ ‎【备注】本文主要讲的是作者（本文的男主角）来到一家咖啡馆，这里是一些放荡不羁而又自命不凡的大学生们高谈阔论的地方。作者想在这找到一些新东西来激励自己，可是他没能如愿以偿，对大学生们未能达到他的期望值而感到失望。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎61．C ‎【解析】主旨大意题。根据故事的第一段的描述可知在首段中，讲述者主要强调关于他父母的日常生活。所以C项能概括故事首段的意思。故选C。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎62．B ‎【解析】主旨大意题。根据故事的第二段的描述可知本段的主要目的是为了强调叙述者经历的巨大转变。所以B项是讲述者的主要的意图。故选B。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎63．A ‎【解析】细节理解题。根据讲述者在故事的第三段的描述可知她的妈妈在加拿大经历了孤独（isolation  隔离，孤独，隔离状态，孤立状态）的感觉。所以A项符合原文之意。故选A。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎64．C ‎【解析】细节理解题。根据讲述者在故事的第四段的描述可知在这段所提到的那些条对母亲有意义，因为他们提供给她熟悉的联想。所以C项符合原文之意。故选C。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎65．A ‎【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段的描述可知作者的成长脱离了她父母的传统文化。所以A项能最好地描述叙述者的发展的特点。故选A。‎ ‎【备注】本文是一篇小说节选。讲述者主要讲述了为了让她有更好的发展，他一家搬到了加拿大。在那他父母开了一家饭馆，父母过着与世隔离的日常生活，在这新的国家没有得到多少快乐，把全部的爱都给了讲述者。相反，讲述者的生活经历了巨大的变化，完全融入到了新的国家中，感觉在加拿大很幸福，有时想到父母的感受也觉得很愧对父母。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎66．achieve/ reach/meet ‎【解析】根据倒数第二段的句子“So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now.”可知此空填achieve/ reach/meet符合句意“为了实现//达到/满足我们的目标，我们应该聚焦我们现在所拥有的和我们所处的位置。”和原文之意。故填achieve/ reach/meet。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎67．mistakes ‎【解析】根据第一段和第二段的句子“I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation.和Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We don’t take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our ‎ lives.”可知空2后的表格中讲的三条都是大多数人所犯的错误，所以空2处该填mistakes，common mistakes意为“常见的错误”。故填mistakes。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎68．appreciating ‎【解析】根据第二段的句子“We don’t take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives.”可知空3该填appreciate才符合原文之意，再根据本句的spend一词的句子结构“人spend + time + (in ) doing sth.”可知填appreciating。故填appreciating。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎69．example ‎【解析】根据第三段的“Let’s use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion…”和第四段的描述可知空4后面的句子都讲的是用我们的工作举的例子，所以空4该填example才符合空后的表述和原文之意。故填example。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎70．Forget / Ignore ‎【解析】根据第三的 “Now most of us want a promotion”.第四段的“What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present.” 可知本句的意思该是 “忘记/忽视（forget / ignore）被提升的想法。”故填Forget / Ignore。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎71．perform ‎【解析】根据第四段的句子“You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job.”可知本句“All we have to do is __to the best of our ability in our current job.”的意思该是“我们不得不做的就是在我们目前的工作中要把我们的能力表现（perform）到最好。”再根据本句的结构可知此空该填不定式作表语，因空前有实意动词do,所以后面的不定式作表语要省略to,故填perform。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎72．colleagues/ others ‎【解析】根据第四段的句子“We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues.”可知本句的意思该是“要想在我们的目前的工作中做到最好，我们就应该获得更进一步的教育，要比同事/其他人（colleagues/ others）工作努力，…”故填colleagues/ others。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎73．devote ‎【解析】根据第四段的句子“It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee.”可知本句的意思该是“要想在我们的目前的工作中做到最好，我们就应该获得更进一步的教育，要比同事/其他人工作努力，停止抱怨，把自己投入(devote oneself to致力,献身于,专心于)到我们的工作中。”又因get,work,stop和devote是并列关系，都是在情态动词should后面,所以都用动词原形。故填devote。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎74．patient ‎【解析】根据最后一段的句子“Have patience, have appreciation for what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.”可知此句的意思该是“如果我们对我们所拥有的有耐心、（patient），心存感激，并且花时间帮助自己成为我们所能成为的最好的，我们未来不仅能成功，而且也能够每天享受我们的生活。”又因此空作系动词的表语，所以该用形容词。故填patient。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎75．succeed ‎【解析】根据最后一段的句子“Have patience, have appreciation for what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.”可知此句的意思该是“如果我们对我们所拥有的有耐心、心存感激，并且花时间帮助自己成为我们所能成为的最好的，我们未来不仅能成功（succeed），而且也能够每天享受我们的生活。”又因在情态动词can后面，所以用动词原形。故填succeed。‎ ‎【备注】本文主要讲的是为了实现我们的目标，我们应该聚焦在我们现在所拥有的和我们现在所处的位置。如果我们对我们所拥有的有耐心、心存感激，并且花时间帮助自己成为我们所能成为的最好的，我们未来不仅能成功，而且也能够每天享受我们的生活。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎76.disability ‎ ‎ ‎77.temporary ‎ ‎ ‎78.accompanied ‎ ‎ ‎79.accustomed ‎ ‎ ‎80.Mysteriously ‎ ‎ ‎81.expectation(s)‎ ‎ ‎ ‎82.incredible ‎ ‎ ‎83.resemblance ‎ ‎ ‎84.exceptionally ‎ ‎ ‎85.shed ‎ ‎ ‎86.It’s not rare to see some high school students absent-minded or sleepy in class. One of the main reasons is that they lack sleep, which is caused by heavy study burdens and tight schedules.‎ Insufficient sleep has negative effects on students. First, it can significantly affect students’ academic performance. Too little sleep contributes to their poor level of concentration. Clearly, concentration is essential. Lack of sleep also makes it harder for students to remember what they learned the day before, leaving them poorly equipped to solve complex problems. Besides, loss of sleep can damage their physical and mental health. It causes anxiety and a weak immune system.‎ There are some measures that can be taken to change this situation, though I help teachers, parents and students must be made fully aware of the importance of sleep. Meanwhile, schools need to adjust their schedules to ensure students enough time for sleep.‎ ‎ ‎
