My work was finished, but I was alone”这句是说“当母亲的病被诊断出来的时候，我姐姐刚生了一个孩子，我哥哥刚和他青梅竹马的恋人结婚，所以照顾她的责任落在了我这个27岁的老二身上。送走了母亲，我是独自一人”以及最后一段作者说她和走错路的人结成夫妻，由此可推断出当时姐姐和哥哥都有家庭负担，只有我是独自一人，没有家庭负担，因此我承担了照顾母亲的责任。分析选项可知C项符合题意。故选C。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第九段“I believe you're at the wrong funeral, Sir.”和第十段“The solemnness (庄重) of the occasion mixed with the realization of the man's mistake bubbled up inside me and came out as laughter: Sharp looks from other mourners only made the situation seem more stupid.”此处是指有一个人走错了教堂，参加错了葬礼，作者认为这种严肃的场合，出现了这种错误，作者笑出来。其他悼念者用犀利眼神看着我，可推知，“妈妈的葬礼自己笑出来”是不恰当的。故选D。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。本文叙述作者的朋友在母亲葬礼上，遇到了一个人走错了教堂，参加错了的葬礼，由此两人认识了。一年后，他们结婚了。尤其是最后一段最后一句“whenever anyone asks us how we met Rick tells them, Her mother and my Aunt Mary introduced us, and it's truly a match made in heaver”可知，作者认为他们俩的相识是妈妈和玛丽阿姨（这两人当时已在天国）介绍我们认识，真是天堂般的邂逅。可知，B项 A Heavenly Encounter（这是天堂般的邂逅）符合题意。故选B。‎ ‎【点睛】推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。根据事实细节，推断合理信息。第一题属于推理判断题。根据第二段“When mother's illness was diagnosed, my sister had a new baby and my brother had recently married his childhood sweetheart, so it fell on me the 27-year-old middle child, to take care of her.. Now she was in heaven. My work was finished, but I was alone”这句是说“当母亲的病被诊断出来的时候，我姐姐刚生了一个孩子，我哥哥刚和他青梅竹马的恋人结婚，所以照顾她的责任落在了我这个27‎ 岁的老二身上。送走了母亲，我是独自一人”以及最后一段作者说她和走错路的人结成夫妻，由此可推断出当时姐姐和哥哥都有家庭负担，只有我是独自一人，没有家庭负担，因此我承担了照顾母亲的责任。分析选项可知C项符合题意。故选C。‎ 推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是说，要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。‎ ‎(B)‎ The close relationship between speakers and their speech has led some scholars to suggest that language determines the view we have of the world around us. Different languages segment natural phenomena differently. We name seven colors in the rainbow: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. Speakers of other languages may see only four, as did Turkish before our system was introduced, or even as few as two, roughly the lighter shades versus the darker. There is nothing in nature to demonstrate how we should chop up the spectrum of the rainbow, but when we have learned a given language, we distinguish the shades it designates, both in the rainbow and elsewhere students of language assume from such a situation that language determines much of the and patterns we see in the world around us, and that it directs our concepts and actions Changes in the choice of language, then, might modify behavior. Today gasoline trucks are generally labeled" flammable(易燃的)". The in-prefix was taken as equivalent to that of words like "inactive", where in- means not". It is actually the in- of words like "intense", where it strengthens the meaning. The word "inflammable", then, means "highly flammable" The faulty interpretation of language, however, determined the attitudes of many speakers, who then adjusted their behavior in relation to the language. Prudent truck owners have taken notice and changed the warning to“ flammable"‎ Such observations led Whorf to a concept with deeper patterns of language, such as the use of tenses in the language of Europe. Tense is the linguistic expression or time. English and other European languages generally require their speakers to identify the time of an event, whether present: It is raining; past: It rained; or future: It will rain. By contrast, many languages, such as the Hopi language of New Mexico, lack expression for tense. Nor do such languages objectify ‎ time. In Hopi one cannot count days, minutes, years as though they were objects like stones. Everyday expressions like "Three years went by" are impossible in Hopi.‎ Comparing such languages, Whorf proposed that "our use of tense or our objectified view of time is favorable to historicity se t)and to everything connected with the keeping of records." That is to say, because of the patterns for referring to time in English and other languages, their speakers maintain records and emphasize bookkeeping, accounting, and the like. In accordance with it, ones conception of the world is relative to the language one learns While the relativity hypothesis(假设) has attracted considerable attention, it has never been experimentally demonstrated to the valid. a large scale attempt to test the outlook of Hopi-speaking children versus English speaking children turned out to be inconclusive. It remains a task of future scholars to determine whether the hypothesis is valid and also whether one should assume a weak or strong position with regard to it. Clearly we are deeply tied to our native language. But whether it regulates our perceptions or our view of the world Is still an open question ‎39. The case of the label "flammable" is mentioned to prove that_________.‎ A. languages can affect our choices of action B. prefixes can lead to disasters if used improperly C. some truck drivers can adjust their behavior D. misunderstanding can happen among speakers ‎40. It can be inferred from the passage that the use of tense ________.‎ A. reflects deeper patterns of European languages B. transforms abstract ideas into objects C. helps avoid certain ambiguity in concepts or ideas D. makes it possible to modern e the Hopi language ‎41. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Different languages often have different methods of keeping historical records B. We need more studies to find out if we are closely related to our native tongues C. Our mother tongues have a great influence on our world views and behavior D. It's no easy task to confirm the link between mother tongues and our concepts ‎【答案】39. A 40. C 41. D ‎【解析】‎ 本文为议论文。本文假设语言决定了我们对周围世界的看法，接着用事实来说明选择不同的语言可能会改变行为。通过对比欧洲语言如英语和霍皮语的对比以及对说英语的孩子和霍皮语为母语的孩子对比发现， 我们与自己的母语紧密相连，但我们的母语对我们的世界观是否有影响还不容易确定。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。第二段全段都是在说明有关flammable标识的问题。本段以flammable这一单词为例，详细分析了语言对人的行为的影响，最后在该段倒数第二句“however, determined the attitudes of many speakers, who then adjusted their behavior in relation to the language.”得出结论，即“然而，对于语言的错误解读决定了很多说话者的态度，他们随即针对语言调整自己的行为”。由此可推断，该案例分析证明语言确实可影响我们对行为的选择。故选A。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 推理判断题。第三段后半部分叙述时态是运用于表达语言或时间。欧洲语言中用时态表达时间。英语和其他欧洲语言通常要求讲话者弄清楚事件发生的时间，是现在、过去 或者未来，要用到时态。相比之下，许多语言，如新墨西哥州的霍皮语，缺乏对时态的表达。这些语言也不会有具体的时间。在霍皮语中，人们不能像数石头一样数日子、分钟、年。像“三年过去了”这样的日常用语在霍皮语中是不可能写清楚。以及倒数第二段“our use of tense or our objectified view of time is favorable to historicity set and to everything connected with the keeping of records”通过比较这两种语言，沃尔夫提出，“我们使用时态或我们让时间具体化，这对历史的真实性和与记录有关的一切都是有利的。由此可知，时态是帮助我们来弄清事件的具体时间。如果没有时态就像霍皮语一样无法说明事件发生的具体时间，也无法计算时间，这样就会产生混乱或歧义。分析选项可知C项（helps avoid certain ambiguity in concepts or ideas有助于避免概念或思想上的某些歧义）符合题意。故选C。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“In accordance with it, ones conception of the world is relative to the language one learns”可知，沃尔夫的假设说一个人的世界观与他所学的语言有关。以及最后一段 “it has never been experimentally demonstrated to the valid. a large scale attempt to test the outlook of Hopi-speaking children versus English speaking children turned out to be inconclusive. It remains a task of future scholars to determine whether the hypothesis is valid and also whether one should assume a weak or strong position with regard to it. Clearly we are ‎ deeply tied to our native language. But whether it regulates our perceptions or our view of the world Is still an open question”表明，“一项大规模的对母语是霍皮语的儿童和母语是英语的儿童进行的未来前景测试的结果是不确定的。未来学者的任务仍然是确定这一假设是否有效以及一个人是否应该采取怎样的立场，显然，我们与自己的母语紧密相连。但它是否影响我们的感知或影响我们对世界的看法仍是一个悬而未决的问题”。由此可推断出，要确认母语与我们的观念之间的关系实属不易。分析选项，可知D项 （It's no easy task to confirm the link between mother tongues and our concepts要确认母语和我们的观念之间的联系并非容易）符合题意。故选D。‎ ‎(C)‎ Freedoms challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic. We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it.‎ Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt and Babylon were tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses In Greece, in Athens(雅典) a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses.‎ And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert. The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted A man was free if he was self-controlled. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens, not because it was forced on him from the outside, but because the city was his pride and his safety. The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.‎ But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers. It cannot be discovered once for all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will go. Constant watch is its price. Athens changed. It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance a spiritual change which affected the whole state. It had been the Athenians pride and joy to give to their city That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds. ‎ there had to be a complete change of attitude before they could took at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to the state, the state was to give to them. What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the primary object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point of disappearing: Athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free. Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms. Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility; she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again.‎ But "the excellent becomes the permanent, Aristotle said. Athens lost freedom forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world. a great American, James Madison, referred to the capacity of mankind for self-government. No doubt he had not an idea that he was speaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind, but once man has a great and good idea, it is never completely lost. The Digital Age cannot destroy it. Somehow in this or that man s thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world of action. One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action, only sure that it will do so sometimes ‎42. What does the underlined word "tyrannies" in Para2 refer to?‎ A. Countries where their people need help B. Powerful states with higher civilization C. Splendid empires where people enjoy freedom.‎ D. Government ruled with absolute power ‎43. What fundamental change in attitude took place in Athens?‎ A. The Athenians refused to take their responsibility.‎ B. The Athenians no longer took their pride in the city C. The Athenians benefited spiritually from the government.‎ D. The Athenians viewed the government as a business to work for.‎ ‎44. What does the underlined sentence "There could be only one result” in Para 5 mean?‎ A. Athens would continue to be B. Athens would cease to have freedom.‎ C. Freedom would come from responsibility.‎ D. Freedom would stop Athens from self-dependence ‎45. Why does the author refer to Aristotle and Madison?‎ A. He is hopeful about freedom B. He is cautious about self-government C. He is doubtful about Greek civilization D. He is critical of Greece’s loss of freedom ‎46. What is the authors understanding of freedom?‎ A. Freedom can be more popular in the digital age B. Freedom may come to an end in the digital age C. Freedom should have priority over responsibility D. Freedom should be guaranteed by responsibility.‎ ‎【答案】42. D 43. A 44. B 45. A 46. D ‎【分析】‎ 本文为说明文。文章讲述了自由的起源、演变及其在古代文化下的形态和缺陷，以及数字化世界给自由带来的挑战。作者认为自由需要责任的保证。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子上下句“There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere” 即“这儿有伟大文明的辉煌帝国，但在任何地方都没有自由”。和画线词tyrannies的同位语“one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses(一个很有权势的人统治一大群无助的人)”。可知由一个非常强大的人统治着希腊无助的群众。由此可知， tyrannies是指拥有绝对统治权的政府。分析选项可知D项“用绝对权力来统治的政府”与此意思相近。故选D。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，雅典人后来态度发生了改变，因为他们开始认为政府应该为他们的劳动付费，给他们提供舒适的生活，而个人的自律和责任意识变得淡薄。A项The Athenians refused to take their responsibility（雅典人拒绝承担责任)符合题意。故选A。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 句意猜测题。根据第五段的“There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good，they would cease to be free. Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms. Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility; she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again.”表明“如果人们坚持摆脱自力更生的负担和对共同利益的责任，他们将不再是自由的。责任是每个人为自由必须付出的代价。这是没有其他条件的。古希腊的雅典拒绝承担责任；她走到了自由的尽头，再也没有自由了”。由此可推断，唯一的结果就是雅典人不再享有自由。即B项Athens would cease to have freedom（雅典将不再享有自由）符合题意。故选B。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Athens lost freedom forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world”表明“雅典永远失去了自由，但对世界来说，自由并不是永远失去的。”以及“Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind，but once man has a great and good idea，it is never completely lost．The Digital Age cannot destroy it．”意即“雅典在他的头脑中并不是遥远的地方，但一旦一个人有了伟大的好主意，它就永远不会完全消失。数字时代也无法摧毁它。”可知，作者并没有因此而失去信心，相反对自由充满了希望。分析选项可知A项（He is hopeful about freedom他对自由抱有希望）符合题意。故选A。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 推理判断题。文章讲述了自由的起源、演变及其在古代文化下的形态和缺陷，以及数字化世界给自由带来的挑战。第三段“And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.”可知，自由起源于2500年前的希腊，雅典人自由地生活在一起，因为他们能够自愿在法律规定和价值体系下一起从事活动。第四段“Now instead of men giving to the state, the state was to give to them. What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the primary object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point of disappearing”以及第五段“Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility; she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again”‎ 可知，后来雅典人态度发生了改变，因为他们开始认为政府应该为他们的劳动付费，给他们提供舒适的生活，而个人的自律和责任意识变得淡薄，造成的唯一结果就是雅典人不再享有自由。由以上的内容可知，作者通过雅典人对自由态度变化的对比，认为自由需要责任的保证这一结论。故选D。‎ ‎【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考查猜测词义题。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式，这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文（各种已知信息）并结合具体的语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。例如第1小题词意猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子上下句“There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere” 即“这儿有伟大文明的辉煌帝国，但在任何地方都没有自由”。和画线词tyrannies的同位语“one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses(一个很有权势的人统治一大群无助的人)”。可知由一个非常强大的人统治着希腊无助的群众。由此可知， tyrannies是指拥有绝对统治权的政府。分析选项可知D项“用绝对权力来统治的政府”与此意思相近。故选D。‎ Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.‎ No one enjoys the moment. You are stuck at the back of a queue and as those in other lines move ahead and get served, the time to decide arrives. ___47___‎ This question has now been solved by researchers at Harvard Business School. According to what they have found in a new study, they suggest people think twice before switching queues.‎ The research was led by Ryan Buell, an expert in service management. He looked into consumer queuing behavior after working with economists on what is known as “last-place aversion,” the discomfort people feel when they know they earn less than others or consider themselves at the bottom of the social pile for some other reason. As a result of this aversion to being the last, when a person finds himself at the end of a queue, he can make decisions that he will later regret.‎ Buell began by observing people at a multi-checkout grocery store and then set up an online survey. People who took part in the survey were told it would take about five minutes. In reality, it took only one minute, but when participants logged in for the survey, they were forced to wait in a virtual queue displayed on the screen. They started at the back and could wait, switch to a second queue or choose to leave.‎ ‎___48___ On average, however, those who switched waited 10 percent longer than if they had stayed put. Those who switched twice ended up waiting 67 percent longer than if they had never moved.‎ ‎“When we join a queue, we tend to make the most rational choice we can, which means joining the shortest queue. ___49___ Unfortunately, we can often get it wrong,” said Buell.‎ ‎___50___ After that, the aversion fades. The researcher suggests people have a chat with the person in front so that they can pass the time more comfortably until someone else joins behind them. “Remember that the person in front of you was the last until you arrived, so someone will show up if you hang around long enough,” Buell said.‎ A. If we see a line moving faster, we might switch without having enough extra information.‎ B. About one in five people grew impatient at the back of the queue and switched to the other line in the hope of speeding things up.‎ C. Do you hold your nerve and stay put, switch to another line in the hope it moves faster, or give up altogether?‎ D. Based on his study, Buell says people should think hard about switching queues when they are the last in a line.‎ E. In an unpublished working paper on the research, Buell notes that people tend to feel unhappiest at the back of a queue for the first 10 seconds or so.‎ F. Although the number of people behind you has nothing to do with how long you are going to wait, it shapes your behavior.‎ ‎【答案】47. C 48. B 49. A 50.

How ________ it be that he was late for the meeting?‎ A. can B. should C. may D. must ‎【答案】A ‎【详解】考查情态动词辨析。句意：史密斯先生几乎任何事情都是准时的。他怎么可能开会迟到了？ A. can可能，可能性，表示可能性时，常用于否定句和疑问句中，且有时还带有“惊奇、不相信” 等感情色彩。B. should 应该； C. may也许，表示可能性时常用于肯定句中，不用于疑问句中。D.must常用于肯定句中表推测，“一定……”的意思；本题是强调句型的一个变式：强调其特殊疑问句how的形式。根据前句“斯密斯先生几乎是很准时”可推测出“怎么可能开会迟到呢？”。根据句意可知，用于疑问句中的“可能性”且有不相信的色彩，四个选项只有“can”符合题意。故选A ‎【点睛】情态动词就是表示说话者对事情的一种看法，也就是一种语气。情态动词的用法一直是命题者常设置的考点和重点，平时要加强记忆。‎ ‎56.Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything it is poured A. whenever B. that C. on which D. wherever ‎【答案】C ‎【详解】考查固定搭配及定语从句的关系词。句意：愤怒是一种酸性物质，它对储存它的容器的伤害大于它对任何接触它的物体的伤害。分析句子可知，本句是定语从句。“pour on..”为固定搭配，意为“倾泻在上”。句中的anything是先行词，被定语从句“_____ it is poured”修饰，anything在从句中作pour on的宾语，所以可用 on which。故选C。‎ ‎57.The species of wildlife in Mozambique came close to when rebel and government soldiers hunted much of the animals there A. vanish B. be vanishing C. vanishing D. being vanished ‎【答案】C ‎【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：当叛军和政府军在莫桑比克猎杀许多野生动物时，那里的野生动物种类几乎接近消失了。“come close to”为固定搭配，意为“接近”其中的to为介词，后面要用动名词。故不能用A和B；the species of wildlife野生动物的物种与动词vanish是主动关系，而非被动， D错误。故选C。‎ ‎58. peer pressure has a stronger impact on teenagers than any amount of government intervention, it is not surprising that the government's efforts to fight against drug abuse will meet more resistance with younger consumers.‎ A. In that B. Given that ‎ C. On condition that D. Although ‎【答案】B ‎【详解】考查状语从句的引导词。句意：考虑到同辈压力对青少年的影响比任何数量的政府干预都要大，政府打击药物滥用的努力会遇到更多年轻消费者的抵制也就不足为奇了。A. In that由于，在于；B. Given that鉴于，考虑到。C. On condition that条件是；D. Although虽然，然而。根据前后的语境可知，前面表达的是原因，后面是结果。“given that”意为“考虑到.”引导原因状语从句。而in that引导原因状语从句时，一般不能置于句首。故选B。‎ ‎59.In a typical business situation, women, find themselves bumping their heads on "glass ceiling", a barrier to their career which may be impossible to break A. as they might try B. try as they might C. hardly as they try D. as they try very hard ‎【答案】B ‎【详解】考查部分倒装及副词辨析。句意：在一个典型的商业环境中，虽然女性有可能努力尝试打破职场上的“玻璃天花板”，这是职场上的一道无法逾越的障碍。hard为副词时“努力地，艰难地”，而“hardly”意为“几乎不”。本句是说女性努力尝试打破这个障碍，所以不能用hardly，用hard。 分析句子可知，本句前后两句是转折关系。当as译为“尽管”时，只用于倒装语序结构中，语气强于 although 和 though。这种倒装常把副词置于as引导的从句的句首。如Hard as he works, he can't support his family.尽管他工作努力，可还是无法养活一家人。分析可知只有B项正确。故选B。‎ ‎60.Which of the following is TRUE?‎ A. So naughty a boy he is that he has been labeled as a trouble maker by B. Down did the vase fall, breaking into pieces C. On top of the mountain can be seen a monument clearly D. Not until then had he realized the importance of obeying the traffic rules ‎【答案】C ‎【详解】考查倒装句型。在部分倒装中，so+形容词+a/an+可数名词的单数+系动词+主语+that从句，可知，A是错误的，此句应为：So naughty a boy is he that he has been labeled as a trouble maker by。在英语中表示方向的副词如down, up 等词置于句首，句子的主语是名词时才能完全倒装，而不是部分倒装。B项的句子Down the vase fall, breaking into pieces应该为：Down the vase fell, breaking into pieces。所以C项On top of the mountain can be seen a monument clearly符合完全倒装。D项Not until then had he realized the importance of obeying the traffic rules是部分倒装，但英语中notuntil的主语一般不用完成时，主句一般现在时，或一般将来时，一般过去时，所以应该为：D. Not until then did he realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules。故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】倒装句可分为完全倒装、部分倒装。‎ 一、完全倒装即将句子中整个谓语动词提到主语前的句子结构。此句式的主语必须是名词。‎ ‎1.当out、in、down、up、away、here、there、then等副词位于句首时。例如：‎ ‎.例如：Out rushed the children. 孩子们冲了出来。‎ 如果主语是代词的话，只能是Out the children rushed.‎ ‎2.当in the room、on the wall等表示地点状语的介词短语置于句首时。例如：‎ At the top of the hill stood the tiny chapel. 那座小教堂矗立在山顶上 二。部分倒装。部分倒装将句子中谓语动词一部分（包括助动词、be动词和情态动词）提到主语前的句子结构。‎ 以下几种情况必须使用部分倒装：‎ ‎1. 表示否定意义的副词或介词短语如not、never、seldom、little、hardly、no sooner、no longer、nowhere、by no means、in no case、on no condition、in/under no circumstances等位于句首时。‎ Seldom does he go out for dinner他很少出去吃饭。‎ ‎2. “only+副词/介词短语/状语从句”结构位于句首时。例如：‎ Only then did he realize that he was wrong.到那时他才意识到他错了。‎ 注意：关于部分倒装，有六个经典句型，是考查倒装句时的高频考点，和小简老师一起来看看。6个经典句型 经典句型1. 在not only…but also句型中，not only位于句首时，其后句子用部分倒装，but also后的句子依然是陈述句式。例如：‎ Not only did he speak more correctly, but he spoke more easily.不仅他讲得更正确，也讲得更简单了。‎ 经典句型2. 在not…until句型中，当not until…位于句首时，其后的主句要用部分倒装。例如：‎ Not until the rain stopped did he leave the room.雨停了之后他才离开这房间。‎ 经典句型3. 在so+adj./adv.+that句型中，当so+adj./adv.位于句首时，其所在句用部分倒装，that引导的结果状语从句依然是陈述句式。例如：‎ So fast does light travel that we can hardly imagine its speed.光速很快，我们几乎没法想像它的速度。‎ 经典句型4. so+助动词/be动词/情态动词+主语，表示前面提出的某一肯定的情况也同样适合于后者。例如：‎ You are young and so am I.你年轻，我也年轻。‎ 经典句型5. neither/nor+助动词/be动词/情态动词+主语，表示前面提出的某一否定的情况也同样适合于后者。例如：‎ You aren’t young and neither am I.你不年轻，我也不年轻。‎ 经典句型6. 在neithernor句型中，两个连词后的句子都用部分倒装，意为“既不也不”。例如：‎ Neiher can I swim，nor can I skate.我既不会游泳，也不会滑冰。‎ 第Ⅱ卷(共40分)‎ L Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.‎ ‎61. 值得一提的是,这座刚落成的教学楼配备了先进的视听设备。(worth)‎ ‎62. 在新品发布前,老板要求广告公司展开调查来收集潜在客户的信息。(demand)‎ ‎63. 面对着诸多不确定因零,家长对孩子的学业成绩感到焦虑是一件正常的事情。(face)‎ ‎64. 要牢记:只要按部就班实现每个短期目标,‎ 我们就可以在科研上取得一个又一个的突破。(Bear)‎ ‎【答案】61. It is worth mentioning that the newly-built teaching building has been equipped with advanced audio-visual equipment. ‎ ‎62. Before the new product is launched, the boss has demanded that the advertising agency (should) carry out a survey to collect/gather information about potential clients. ‎ ‎63. When they are facing/ (faced with) many uncertainties, it is natural/normal parents to feel anxious about their children's academic performance. ‎ ‎64. Bear in mind that as long as we reach every short-term goal step by step, we can make one breakthrough after another in scientific research ‎【解析】‎ 本本大题考查用所给的词翻译英语句子。此种题首先要分析所给的汉语句意及所给词的用法，明确考核的要点，选择恰当的词语搭配。这不仅要用所给的语法项目进行恰当的翻译，同时还要注意翻译句子时要根据具体的语境。此外一定要避免汉语式的英语翻译。‎ ‎【61题详解】‎ 考查固定用法。 “Sth. be worth doing worth”为固定用法，意为“某事值得做”。“be equipped with”为固定搭配，意为“配备有”。此句中的根据语境可知，因此可用it作形式主语，真正的主语是“这座刚落成的教学楼配备了先进的视听设备”。故本句可译为： It is worth mentioning that the newly-built teaching building has been equipped with advanced audio-visual equipment.‎ ‎【62题详解】‎ 考查demand引导的宾语从句要用虚拟语气。Demand在表示“要求”时，所引导的宾语从句要用虚拟语气should+动词原形，should也可省略。故本句可译为：Before the new product is launched, the boss has demanded that the advertising agency (should) carry out a survey to collect/gather information about potential clients.‎ ‎【63题详解】‎ 考查face的用法。“某人面对某事时”可用“sb. face sth.” 或用“sb. be faced with”。根据语境可知，此句是由when引导的状语从句。故本句可译为：When they are facing/ (faced with) many uncertainties, it is natural/normal parents to feel anxious about their children's academic performance.‎ ‎【64题详解】‎ 考查固定用法。“Bear in mind”为固定用法，意为“把记住”。根据语境可知，bear的宾语中含有一个状语从句，“只要按部就班实现每个短期目标”可译为“as long as we reach every short-term goal step by step”，第二句中“取得突破”要运用“make one breakthrough”。故本句可译为：Bear in mind that as long as we reach every short-term goal step by step, we can make one breakthrough after another in scientific research。‎ Ⅱ. Summary ‎65.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words, Use your own words as far as possible Parents everywhere praise their kids when they do well in school, win a ball game, or build an impressive sandcastle, anything that seems to be something "remarkable". Jenn Berman, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy and Confident Kids, says, "We've gone to the opposite extreme of a few decades ago when parents tended to be stricter." giving kids a lot of praise, parents think they're building their children's confidence In fact they may he wrong. Too much praise can make kids afraid to try new, things or take a risk for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parents praise has put them. Still, not giving enough praise can be just as damaging as giving too much. Kids will feel like they're not good enough and, as a result, may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments So what is the right amount of praise? Experts say that the quality of praise is more important than the quantity. If praise is sincere and focused an the effort - mot the outcome, you can give it as often as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward. "We should especially recognize our children's efforts to put themselves and work hard to achieve a goal, says Donahue, author of parenting Without Fear, "Your son may not be the best basketball player on his team. But if he's out there every day and playing hard, you should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses."‎ Praising the effort can also mean you need to identify the part where your kids make special efforts in a particular scenario(情景). Instead of saying, "you are such a good baseball player", say, "you hit the ball really hard. You are an excellent first baseman. "Being specific is much better and helps kids identify with their special skill, Donahue says ‎【答案】Parents praise their kids to boost their confidence. However, too much praise may stop their kids from exploring new things. Kids may also feel discouraged and stop trying without ‎ adequate praise. So what matters is the quality of praise, Parents should learn to give sincere and specific praises for their efforts in a particular case ‎【分析】‎ 概要写作，简言之就是对所读过的文章简要概括，写出文章的中心大意，也可称之为摘要。主要考察对文章主旨大意的概括和准确获取关键词的能力，同时考查学生用简洁语言概括文章重要信息的能力及对文章整体结构的把握能力。‎ ‎【详解】写作步骤 ‎ ‎1）细读原文。找出文章主旨和结构，明确各段的大意，并列出原文要点。分析原文的内容和结构，将内容分项扼要表述并注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。‎ 如本文，首先读第一段可知，本文主要叙述了孩子们在学校表现出色时，父母总会进行表扬，给予他们信心。可译为：Parents praise their kids to boost their confidence.。第二段主旨大意为：事实上他们可能错了。太多的表扬会让孩子害怕尝试新事物，或者冒险，因为害怕无法在父母表扬的地方保持领先地位。因此要恰当地表扬。此大意可重新表达为：However, too much praise may stop their kids from exploring new things. Kids may also feel discouraged and stop trying without adequate praise.于是第三段和第四段提出如何才能恰当地表扬，即“Experts say that the quality of praise is more important than the quantity. If praise is sincere and focused an the effort - mot the outcome, you can give it as often as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward.”还要“Praising the effort can also mean you need to identify the part where your kids make special efforts in a particular scenario”，表扬重在质量，要真诚。要在特定情况下的努力给予真诚和具体的表扬。此大意可重新表述为：o what matters is the quality of praise, Parents should learn to give sincere and specific praises for their efforts in a particular case ‎2）在写作时概要应包括原文中的主要事实，同原文保持协调，略去不必要的细节。最后注意要点之间的衔接，安排好篇幅的比例。不排斥用原文的某些词句，但不要照搬原文的句子，如果不能完全用自己的话语表达，至少对原文句子做一些句型转换，同义词的运用，概括，主被动语态，合并句子等，形成新的东西。 ‎ ‎3)看是否符合规定的词数要求。‎ ‎【点睛】本文结构合理，概括紧扣主题，用自己的语言来叙述全文的要点，文章篇幅安排的很有条理。句式相对简洁。文中运用了较高级的词组如boost one's confidence ; stop ‎ from doing ; discourage from give sincere and specific praises for 以及连接副词however ,so等。句式以简单句为主，同时运用了以what引导的what matters is the quality of praise。‎ Ⅲ.

Firstly, the residents should be told what type of garbage belongs to help them classify garbage, and the benefits can they consciously classify garbage. Secondly, attach striking labels to trash cans to remind them to throw garbage. Last but not least, supervision and inspection is necessary.‎ I think only when the residents and the government cooperate with each other, the garbage can be classified and used to the best.‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文为说明文。本文就你所在小区经常有居民垃圾不认真分类，也有居民在非指定的时间乱丢垃圾等。针对这一现象，请你写一封电子邮件向有关部门负责人反映这一现状,‎ 并提出自己的食理化建议。‎ ‎【详解】本文为材料作文。针对经常有居民垃圾不认真分类，也有居民在非指定的时间乱丢垃圾等现象，写一封电子邮件向有关部门负责人反映这一现状，并提出自己的食理化建议。‎ 第一部分叙述为保护环境，政府虽然颁布了管理条例来强制实行垃圾分类，减少废弃污染，保护生态环境，但小区的落实情况不尽人意。并简述一下情况，如经常有居民垃圾不认真分类，干湿垃圾等不分捡，甚至有的居民觉得乱扔垃圾。‎ 第二部分提出合理化的建议，如对居民普及垃圾分类的知识及分类的好处，加强监督，让居民自觉分类垃圾等。‎ ‎【点睛】本文要点完整，用词恰当。文中运用了许多较高级的句式如由so that引导的状语从句However, in our community some residents don't seriously classify garbage so that they don't separated dry and wet garbage from domestic garbage；由which引导的定语从句the government should enforce management regulations, which makes residents realize that classifying garbage is an obligation；由only引导的倒装句Only when the residents and the government cooperate with each other, the garbage can be classified and used to the best。文中运用了动词不定式作状语To reduce waste pollution and protect the ecological environment,同时顺序连词如firstly, secondly,Last but not least等的运用，使文章条理清楚。‎
