Come on B. Take care C. Go ahead! D. Hold on!‎ ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】根据语境可以知道：去开吧，去做吧。所以答案为：C。容易误选A。come on 的意思是“算了吧！加油！”‎ ‎2. He told us whether _________ a picnic was still under discussion A. to have B. having C. have D. had ‎【答案】B.‎ ‎【解析】考查非谓语的用法，分析句子可知whether +to do sth. 做了宾语从句的主语, He told us 后省略了宾语从句的引导词that。‎ ‎3. I like this house with a beautiful garden in front, but I don’t have enough money to buy__________.‎ A. one B. it C. this D. that - 20 - ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【答案】B。‎ ‎【解析】该题的意思是：我喜欢这个前面有一个美丽花园的房子，但是我没有足够多的钱去把它买下来。第一句话中的this house表明在该语境中是特指的用法，所以答案为it，表示特指。该题容易误选one，要注意的是one表示泛指。‎ ‎4. Ladies and gentlemen, please remain __________ until the plane has come to a complete stop.‎ A. seated B. seating C. to seat D. seat ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】考查非谓语的用法。remain后可接adj, v-ing, v-ed和to be done 等多种形式做表语，在该题中可以把seated视为一个形容词，所以正确答案为A。‎ ‎5.—Have you __________?‎ ‎—No. I had the wrong number.‎ A. got in B. got away C. got off D. got through ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】考查动词短语的区别。get in”插话，收割”；get away”离开，走开”；get off”下车”；get through”接通电话，完成，到达，通过”，由此可知该题的答案为:D，意思是“你接通电话了吗？”‎ ‎6. A great person is always putting others’ interests _________ his own.‎ A. below B. above C. in D. on ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】考查介词的用法，put other’s interests above one’s own意思是把别人的利益放在自己的利益至上。‎ ‎7. News came from the school office ________Wang Lin had been admitted to Beijing University.‎ A. which B. what C. that D. where ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】考查名词性从句的用法。在该题中that引导了一个同位语从句来解释说明news的内容，由于该题把同位语从句后置了，所以很多考生由于不能正确分析句子结构而错误选择了D项。‎ ‎8. —How about your journey to Mount Emei?‎ - 20 - ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎—Everything was wonderful except that our car _________ twice on the way.‎ A. slowed down B. broke down C. got down D. put down ‎【答案】B。‎ ‎【解析】考查动词短语的区别，答语的意思是：一切都进展顺利除了我们的汽车在途中抛锚了两次外。break down抛锚；slow down 慢下来；get down记下，写下；put down 扑灭。所以该题的答案为B. ks5u ‎9. —Would you please help me with the box? ks5u ‎—_________ ks5u A. Yes, please B. No, please don’t C. With pleasure D. My pleasure ks5u ‎【答案】C ks5u ‎【解析】考查情景交际，在英语中对于别人提出的帮助请求，通常用with pleasure（非常乐意）回答，my pleasure用来表示你帮对方做了某事后，别人向你表示感谢的用语，意思是“这是我乐意做的”。 ks5u ‎10. ________ many times, he finally understood it. ks5u A. Told B. Telling C. Having told D. Having been told ks5u ‎【答案】D ks5u ‎【解析】考查非谓语的用法。tell与主语之间的关系是被动和完成的关系，所以用having been done来表示被动和完成。 ks5u ‎11. — I wonder ________ you’ll water this kind of flower. ks5u ‎——Every other day. ks5u A. how often B. how long C. how soon D. how much ks5u ‎【答案】A ks5u ‎【解析】考查相似疑问词的区别。根据答语Every other day可知对方问的是多久浇一次这种花。how often问频率，符合题意。 ks5u ‎12.

In order to find _______ better job, he decided to study _________ second foreign language. ks5u A. the; a B. a; a C. the; the D. a; the ks5u ‎【答案】B ks5u ‎【解析】考查冠词的用法。该题的意思是：为了找到一个更好的工作，他决定再学习另外一门外语。第一空表示泛指；第二空用a +序数词+名词表示又一，再一。 ks5u ‎15 . —Why don’t we choose that road to save time? ks5u ‎—The bridge to it __________. ks5u A. has repaired B. is repaired ks5u C. is being repaired D. will be repaired ks5u ‎【答案】C ks5u ‎【解析】考查时态和语态。根据语境可知不走另一条路的原因是因为桥正在被修。所以用现在进行时的被动形式作为该题的答案。 ks5u ‎16. Not until I came home last night ________ to bed. ks5u A. Mum did go B. did Mum go C. went Mum D. Mum went ks5u ‎【答案】B ks5u ‎【解析】考查倒装语序的用法。not until 位于句首时要用半倒装的句型，把助动词did提到主语Mum的前面。所以答案为：B ks5u ‎17.

I __________ French in Sichuan University for four years. ks5u A. studied B. study C. was studying D. had studied ks5u ‎【答案】A ks5u ‎【解析】考查时态。我在四川大学学过4年法语是指过去发生过的事情，所以谓语动词用一般过去时，该题由于有for four years.造成一部分学生做出错误的选择，而选择了D。 ks5u ‎19.

As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I lift work at 5 pm, however, the road into our village was flooded. Our house bad never been flooded but, as I opened the front door, a wave of water greeted me. Thank God the kids weren’t with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. And the plaster had to be torn off the walls, ceilings pulled down. ks5u At first we tried to push on through. We didn’t want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. we put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community（社区）.We had lived in a friendly village with - 20 - ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ good neighbours, and I’d never thought how much I’d miss that. ks5u Although-our situation was very bad, it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought , “We didn’t have a straw hut（茅草房）that was swept away , and our house is still sanding . We’re lucky .” ks5u We moved back home in August. With December coming, there’s reconstruction work to be done, so it’s difficult to prepare for Christmas. But I can’t wait — I’m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year , I won’t need any gifts — living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions . Although we are replacing things, there’s really no rush — we have our home back, and that’s the main thing. ks5u ‎45. What does the underlined word “amiss” in the first paragraph mean? ks5u A. Wrong. B. Missing. C. Right. D. Found. ks5u ‎【答案】A ks5u ‎【解析】词义猜测题。根据语境可知作者回家去查看证实一切都正常。由于主语是nothing所以该题的正确答案为A. ks5u ‎46. It can be inferred from the text that the author . ks5u A. was sick of staying upstairs ks5u B. cared much about her children ks5u C. could not stand living a wooden house ks5u D. did not deal well with her family affairs during the flood ks5u ‎【答案】B ks5u ‎【解析】推断题。有下面的句子可以得出该题的答案。Thank God the kids weren’t with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. We didn’t want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. ks5u ‎47. Why does author say that they were lucky in the third paragraph? ks5u A. Because her situation was not serious. ks5u B. Because many other places were flooded. ks5u C. Because she had been to Northern India. ks5u D. Because some others suffered even more. ks5u - 20 - ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【答案】D ks5u ‎【解析】推断题。 作者提到I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought , “We didn’t have a straw hut（茅草房）that was swept away , and our house is still sanding . We’re lucky .”所以该题的正确答案为D. ks5u ‎48. What does the author mainly want to express by telling her story? ks5u A. She valued human feelings more than before. ks5u B. She realized she almost didn’t need possessions. ks5u C. She found Christmas gifts no longer badly needed. ks5u D.

First there’s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I’m not , I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account ).I love how singer Judy Garland put it, “Always be a first-class version(版本) of yourself , instead of a second-class version of somebody else .” ks5u Then there’s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you’ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can’t do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that: ks5u In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off. ks5u At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that anymore, because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me. ks5u It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on - 20 - ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit（储蓄）into your PBA and will build strength . ks5u ‎49. The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the first paragraph means “ ”. ks5u A. to be honest ks5u B. to be unreal ks5u C. to become clear ks5u D. to come from an imagined world ks5u ‎【答案】B ks5u ‎【解析】词义猜测题，由前句中的real可知作者形成了一种对比，整个句子的意思是：你是真实的或是你让人看起来不真实呢？ ks5u ‎50. Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland’s words? ks5u A. Be your true self rather than follow others. ks5u B. Don’t copy others or you can’t be the first class. ks5u C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second. ks5u D. Don’t learn from others unless they’re excellent. ks5u ‎【答案】A ks5u ‎【解析】细节题。有第一段最后一句可知答案。“Always be a first-class version(版本) of yourself , instead of a second-class version of somebody else .” ks5u ‎51. What does the author expect to show by Jeff’s story ？ ks5u A. honesty can be of great help. ks5u B. A bad thing can be turned into a good one. ks5u C. Helping others cheat can do good to nobody. ks5u D. One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds. ks5u ‎【答案】D ks5u ‎【解析】推理判断题。由Jeff’s story 可以看出一个人的不诚实的行为是不正确。而不诚实的行为作者指出了不仅仅是作弊这一种现象，所以答案不能选择C。 ks5u ‎52. In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express . ks5u A. one must be brave to be honest ks5u B. it’s difficult to be honest when others are not ks5u - 20 - ‎ ‎ ‎ C. one should be honest when making a deposit ks5u D. honesty in one’s actions can help him in the future ks5u ‎【答案】D ks5u ‎【解析】推理判断题。根据作者的观点可以知道，诚实是一种自我投资，对一个人的成长和未来的工作和生后都有很大的帮助。 ks5u D ks5u Cities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot, especially seniors and children who need more time to cross streets. ks5u A pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident in the USA every 110 minutes；one is injured every nine minutes, according to official date. Crosswalk can be especially dangerous for the elderly. Among people 70 and older, 36% of pedestrian deaths in 2006 occurred in crosswalks, compared with 21% of those younger than 70, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. ks5u The Federal Highway Administration（FHWA）advises that next year states increase by nearly 15% the amount of time traffic lights provide for pedestrians to cross the street after the flashing orange hand appears . ks5u FHWA spokesman Doug Hecox says reasons for the change include an aging population that needs more time to cross, health-conscious Americans walking more, children encouraged to walk to prevent getting overweight and high gas prices pushing people to walk instead of drive. ks5u Pedestrian deaths went down by 12% from ‎5,449 in 1996 to ‎4,784 in 2006. But among those in 2006, 471 were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says. ks5u ‎53. Which of the following is true according to the text? ks5u A. Among 100 pedestrian deaths there were 21 people younger than 70. ks5u B. Old people are more likely to meet with accidents in crosswalks. ks5u C. Traffic accidents killed more old people than young people. ks5u D. About seven traffic accidents happened per hour. ks5u ‎【答案】B ks5u ‎【解析】事实判断题。根据第一段和第二段话可以知道正确的答案为B. 该题容易误选A。 ks5u ‎54. What is FHWA’s suggestion to states? ks5u - 20 - ‎ ‎ ‎ A. Fixing more traffic lights. ks5u B. Providing more crosswalks. ks5u C. Giving pedestrians more time to cross streets. ks5u D. Increasing the time before the orange lights appear. ks5u ‎【答案】C ks5u ‎【解析】细节判断题，由第三段话中的next year states increase by nearly 15% the amount of time traffic lights provide for pedestrians to cross the street after the flashing orange hand appears .可以知道正确答案为C。 ks5u ‎55. What’s the cause of the crosswalk safety problem according to the test? ks5u A. There’re many cars and buses on the road. ks5u B. Pedestrians are careless. ks5u C. Crosswalks are crowded. ks5u D. Drivers don’t give way. ks5u ‎【答案】C ks5u ‎【解析】细节判断题。由倒数第二段可以得出正确的答案。 ks5u ‎56. The report from NHTSA suggests that . ks5u A. fewer people were injured in crosswalks ks5u B. crosswalk safety has been greatly improved ks5u C. much has been done to reduce traffic accidents ks5u D. pedestrian deaths in crosswalk remain a serious problem ks5u ‎【答案】D ks5u ‎【解析】推理判断题由最后一段中的“But among those in 2006, 471 were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says .”可以知道正确答案为:D。 ks5u ‎ ks5u E ks5u All too often , a choice that seems sustainable（可持续的）turns out on closer examination to be problematic. Probably the best example is the rush to produce ethanol（乙醇）for fuel from corn . Corn is a renewable resource —you can harvest it and grow more, almost limitlessly. So replacing gas with corn ethanol seems like a great idea .‎ - 20 - ‎ ‎ ‎ One might get a bit more energy out of the ethanol than that used to make it, which could still make ethanol more sustainable than gas generally, but that’s not the end of the problem. Using corn to make ethanol means less corn is left to feed animals and people, which drives up the cost of food. That result leads to turning the fallow land — including, in some cases, rain forest in places such as Brazil — into farmland, which in turn gives off lots of carbon dioxide（CO2）into the air. Finally, over many years, the energy benefit from burning ethanol would make up for the forest loss. But by then, climate change would have progressed so far that it might not help.‎ You cannot really declare any practice “sustainable” until you have done a complete lift-cycle analysis of its environmental（环境的）costs. Even then, technology and public policy keep developing, and that development can lead to unforeseen and undesired results. The admirable goal of living sustainable requires plenty of thought on an ongoing basis.‎ ‎57. What might directly cause the loss of the forest according to the text?‎ A.

The following are some Chinese customs.‎ Firstly, we greet each other by saying “Hello” or asking such questions as “Where are you going?” or “Are you busy?” to express our care. Secondly, when praised, we reply with “Oh, no!” or “I’m over-praised” to show good manners. Next, when receiving a gift, we usually say “It’s unnecessary” besides “Thanks” to show politeness and then put it away. Finally, at dinner parties, we talk loudly and touch glasses when drinking to someone’s health or success to show that we’re warm.‎ Anyhow, different cultures, different customs. If you “Do as the Romans do when in Rome”, you’ll enjoy more of your stay here.‎ I hope what’s mentioned above might be helpful and wish you a good journey.‎ Yours sincerely,‎ Li Hua - 20 - ‎ ‎ ‎
