B. don't ask! ‎ C. how come? D. so what?‎ ‎21．A　考查情景交际。前者邀请对方周六参加聚会，由答语“I'm already going out, I'm afraid.”可知，后者不能去了，表示可惜用what a pity，故选A。‎ ‎22．A7[2015·安徽卷] If you come to visit China, you will ________ a culture of amazing depth and variety.‎ A. develop B. create ‎ C. substitute D. experience ‎22．D　考查动词辨析。语境表示“来中国参观能够体验到文化的厚重感和多样性”，故选D。experience此处用作及物动词，意思是“体验，经历”。develop发展；create创造；substitute代替，替代。‎ ‎23．A14[2015·安徽卷] ________ scientists have learned a lot about the universe, there is much we still don't know.‎ A. Once B. Since ‎ C. Though D. Unless ‎23．C　考查状语从句。前一分句“科学家对宇宙已经了解很多”与后一分句“依然有许多我们不知道的东西”在意义上存在转折关系，故用though引导让步状语从句。once“一旦”，引导时间状语从句；since自从，既然；unless“除非”，引导条件状语从句。‎ ‎24．A11[2015·安徽卷] Just as I got to the school gate, I realized I ________ my book in the cafe.‎ A. have left B. had left ‎ C．would leave D. was leaving ‎24．B　考查动词的时态。根据realized是一般过去时可知，leave这一动作发生在realized这一过去的动作之前，也就是“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时，因此B项正确。句意：我刚走到学校门口就意识到我把书落在咖啡馆里了。‎ ‎25．A13[2015·安徽卷] A ship in harbour is safe, but that's not ________ ships are built for.‎ A. what B. whom ‎ C. why D. when ‎25．A　考查名词性从句。what ships are built for是表语从句，其中what在从句中作介词for的宾语。句意：船泊港湾固然安全，但这不是造船的初衷。‎ ‎26．A4[2015·安徽卷] I'm so ________ to all those volunteers because they helped my terrible day end happily.‎ A. special B. superior ‎ C. grateful D. attractive ‎26．C　考查形容词辨析。由语境“他们帮助我快乐地度过这原本糟糕的一天”可知，说话者对这些志愿者很感激，故选C。be grateful to…对……感激；be special to对……是特殊的；be superior to优越于……； be attractive to对……有吸引力。‎ ‎27．A9[2015·安徽卷] ________ the difference between the two research findings will be one of the worst mistakes you make.‎ A. Ignore B. Ignoring ‎ C. Ignored D. Having ignored ‎27．B　考查非谓语动词。本句缺少主语。ignoring the difference between the two research findings是动名词短语，在句中作主语，故选B。句意：忽视这两项科研结果的差异将会是你犯的最严重的错误之一。‎ ‎28．A15[2015·安徽卷] Some experts think reading is the fundamental skill upon________ school education depends.‎ A. it B. that ‎ C. whose D. which ‎28．D　考查定语从句。upon which school education depends是“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，修饰先行词skill。其中depend on/upon是习惯搭配，意思是“依靠，依赖”。句意：一些专家认为阅读是学校教育依赖的基本的能力。‎ ‎29．A11[2015·安徽卷] It is reported that a space station ________ on the moon in years to come.‎ A. will be building B. will be built C. has been building D. has been built ‎29．B　考查动词的时态和语态。主语a space station是谓语动词build的承受者，用被动语态；时间状语in years to come表示的是将来的时间，故用一般将来时。因此本题应用一般将来时的被动语态，故B项正确。‎ ‎30．A1[2015·安徽卷] There is no need to tell me your answer now. Give it some ________ and then let me know.‎ A. thought B. support ‎ C. protection D. authority ‎30．A　考查名词辨析。由前句可知，说话者不让对方现在告诉自己答案，而是希望对方仔细思考后再给出答案。thought此处表示“思考”，符合语境。support支持；protection保护；authority权威。‎ ‎31．A5[2015·安徽卷] They gave money to the old people's home either ________ or through their companies. ‎ A. legally B. sincerely ‎ C. personally D. deliberately ‎31．C　考查副词辨析。句意：他们给老年之家捐款，要么通过个人，要么通过公司。personally个人地；legally合法地；sincerely真诚地；deliberately故意地。‎ ‎32．A10[2015·安徽卷] It is lucky we booked a room, or we ________nowhere to stay now.‎ A. had B. had had ‎ C. would have D. would have had ‎32．C　考查虚拟语气。or表示含蓄的条件，相当于虚拟条件句if we hadn't booked a room，表示与过去事实相反的假设。由句中的now可知，后半句表示的是与现在事实相反的假设，要用“would＋动词原形”‎ 表示，故选C。句意：幸亏我们预订了一个房间，要不然我们现在就无处可住了。‎ ‎33．A6[2015·安徽卷] They believe that there are transport developments ________ that will bring a lot of changes for the better.‎ A. out of date B. out of order ‎ C. around the clock D. around the corner ‎33．D　考查介词短语辨析。out of date过时，落伍；out of order混乱，发生故障；around the corner即将到来，就在眼前；around the clock日夜不停。句意：他们相信交通发展即将到来，它们会带来很多更好的变化。故选D。‎ ‎34．A14[2015·安徽卷] ________ he once felt like giving up, he now has the determination to push further and keep on going.‎ A. Where B. As ‎ C. In case D. Now that ‎34．A　考查状语从句。where“在……地方”，引导地点状语从句；as引导原因状语从句；in case“万一，以防万一”，引导让步状语从句；now that“既然”，引导原因状语从句。句中he once felt like giving up缺少地点状语，因此用where引导地点状语从句。句意：在他曾经想要放弃的地方，他现在有决心继续前行。‎ ‎35．A17[2015·安徽卷] —How is your table tennis these days? Still playing? ‎ ‎—________. I just don't seem to find the time these days.‎ A. That's right B. No, not much C．That's great D. Don't worry ‎35．B　考查情景交际。前者问后者这些天是否还在打乒乓球，由答语“I just don't seem to find the time these days.”可知，后者这些天打乒乓球打得不多，故选B。‎ 第二节　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四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ B3[2015·安徽卷] ‎ In our modern world, when something wears out, we throw it away and buy a new one.

D　 key钥匙，关键；reason原因；project项目；problem问题。根据本句中的“…is that countries around the world have growing…than ever before.”可知，问题是世界各国都有不断增加的堆积如山的垃圾，因为人们正在丢弃着比以往更多的垃圾。‎ ‎37. B 　gift礼物；rubbish垃圾；debt债务；product产品。根据本句中的“…because people are throwing out more rubbish than ever before.”可知，因为人们比以前丢弃着更多的垃圾，所以世界各国都有不断增加的堆积如山的垃圾。‎ ‎38. B 　face面对，面临；become变得，变成；observe观察；change改变。这一段讲的是一次性物品充斥的社会是如何形成的。‎ ‎39. C 　hide隐藏；control控制；replace取代；withdraw收回。如今东西坏了，用新的取代旧的比花时间和金钱修理旧的更容易。‎ ‎40.

A　 love喜欢；lack缺乏；prevention阻止；division分隔，分开。由下一句中的“…we are always looking for…to save time…”可知，一次性物品充斥的社会的形成还有一个原因，那就是人们对一次性物品的喜爱。‎ ‎43.

A 　spend花费；collect收集；repair修理；advertise做广告。由下一句“Repairing our possessions and changing our spending habits…”可知，我们应该重新考虑对待花钱的态度。‎ 第三部分　阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。‎ C4[2015·安徽卷] ‎ A Welcome to the Electronic Village to explore new ways of language teaching and learning.‎ Electronic Village Program (Thursday, June 18, 2015)‎ Nearpod  9：00 am to 10：00 am ‎  Room 501‎ Nearpod is a software program that creates a rich context(语境) for students to learn vocabulary.

To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.‎ Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.‎ Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elizabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”‎ Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.‎ ‎60.

A　细节理解题。根据第一段的内容，特别是“This lesson about family unity…”可知，妈妈这样做是要告诉孩子们团结的力量。故选A。‎ ‎61. B 　细节理解题。由第二段中的“…they didn't have much money.”可知他们离开越南时，没有很多钱。故答案为B。‎ ‎62.

If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.‎ In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.‎ In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder(文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location(位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory(交互记忆)”．‎ According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.‎ ‎64. The passage begins with two questions to ________. ‎ A. introduce the main topic ‎ B. show the author's attitude C. describe how to use the Internet ‎ D. explain how to store information ‎65. What can we learn about the first experiment?‎ A. The Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer. ‎ B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.‎ C. The first group did not try to remember the information. ‎ D. The second group did not understand the information.‎ ‎66. In transactive memory, people ________．‎ A. keep the information in mind ‎ B. change the quantity of information ‎ C. organize information like a computer ‎ D. remember how to find the information ‎67. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? ‎ A. We are using memory differently. ‎ B. We are becoming more intelligent.‎ C. We have poorer memories than before. ‎ D. We need a better way to access information.‎ ‎【要点综述】 随着人们对网络变得更加依赖，人们使用记忆的方式在发生变化，人们开始更多地使用交互记忆。‎ ‎64. A　写作意图题。文章开头首先问了两个问题，目的是引出本文的主题句，也就是首段的最后一句“Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.”。故选A。‎ ‎65. C 　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.”可知，第一组人没有想着去记住那些信息，故选C。‎ ‎66. D 　细节理解题。第三段最后两句“Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called ‘transactive memory(交互记忆)’．”对交互记忆进行了解释说明。由此可知D项正确。‎ ‎67. A 　推理判断题。根据文章最后一句中的“…there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.”可知，我们使用记忆的方式在改变，故A正确。由最后一段中的“This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent…”可知，B不正确；由最后一段第一句可知C不正确；由最后一段倒数第二句可知D不正确。‎ C8[2015·安徽卷] ‎ D There are an extremely large number of ants worldwide. Each individual(个体的) ant hardly weighs anything, but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind. They also live nearly everywhere, except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles. For animals their size, ants have been astonishingly successful, largely due to their wonderful social behaviour.‎ In colonies (群体) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions, they organize their lives with a clear division of labour. Even more amazing is how they achieve this level of organization. Where we use sound and sight to communicate, ants depend primarily on pheromones(外激素), chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony. When an ant finds food, it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is. When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying, it sends out an alarm ‎ pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defence unit.‎ In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal. They are completely fearless and will readily take_on_a creature much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and overcoming their target. Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.‎ Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner, these little creatures have survived on Earth for more than 140 million years, far longer than dinosaurs. Because they think as one, they have a collective(集体的) intelligence greater than you would expect from its individual parts.‎ ‎68.

Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural(农村的) and urban areas within one country.‎ Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion(时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes ‎ that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.‎ Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity(兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies(预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.‎ Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving redcoloured eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.‎ Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.‎ ‎72．According to the passage, sharing bread________．‎ A. indicates a lack of food ‎ B. can help to develop unity C. is a custom unique to rural areas ‎ D. has its roots in birthday celebrations ‎73．What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year?‎ A.
