解析　考查冠词。句意为：简的奶奶多年来一直想写一本儿童书籍，但总有这样那样的事情阻碍她不能实现。第一空表泛指，故用不定冠词a；第二空为固定表达in the way妨碍，阻碍。‎ ‎3．Have you ever heard of the trees that are homes ________ animals both on land and sea?‎ A．about B．to C．with D．over 答案　B 解析　本题考查固定搭配。句意为：你听说过是海陆两栖动物栖息地的树吗？be home to为固定搭配，意为“是……的栖息地，是……的家园”。‎ ‎4．It was so noisy that we ________ hear ourselves speak.‎ A．couldn’t B．shouldn’t C．mustn’t D．needn’t 答案　A

解析　考查宾语从句的引导词。句意为：如果你在河里或湖里游泳的话，务必调查清楚水面之下有什么。水中经常隐藏着石头或树枝。分析句子结构可知，此处investigate后接了宾语从句，从句缺少主语，故用what引导。who与whoever都可以作主语，但是不符合句意；that在名词性从句中仅仅起连接作用，不作句子成分。‎ ‎7．Body language can ________ a lot about

consisting of hearing，understanding and remembering.‎ A．considerate B．sensitive C．reliable D．passive 答案　D

of a team is a big challenge.‎ A．as B．whose C．in which D．at which 答案　C 解析　考查定语从句引导词的选择。句意为：创造让雇员感受到自己是团队一部分的氛围是一个巨大的挑战。分析句子结构可知，________ employees feel part of a

第二部分　阅读理解(第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分)‎ 第一节　阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中，选出最佳选项。‎ A From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation.When children are little we make them read aloud，before the teacher and other children，so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading.This means that when they don’t know a word，they are going to make a mistake，right in front of everyone.After having taught fifthgrade classes for four years，I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books，and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.‎ One day soon after school had started，I said to them，“Now I’m going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before.I would like you to read a lot of books this year，but I want you to read them only for pleasure.I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not.If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it，that’s enough for me.Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean.”‎ The children sat stunned and silent.Was this a teacher talking？One girl，who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time，looked at me steadily for a long time after ‎ I had finished.Then，still looking at me，she said slowly and seriously，“Mr.Holt，do you really mean that？”I said just as seriously，“I mean every word of it.”‎ During the spring she really astonished me.One day，she was reading at her desk.From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was.I said to myself，“It can’t be，” and went to take a closer look.Sure enough，she was reading Moby Dick，in the edition with woodcuts.I said，“Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going？”She answered，“Oh，sure，but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”‎ This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is—an exciting，joyous adventure.Find something，dive into it，take the good parts，skip the bad parts，get what you can out of it，go on to something else.How different is our meanspirited，picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book.‎ ‎41．According to the passage，children’s fear and dislike of books may result from ________.‎ A．reading little and thinking little B．reading often and adventurously C．being made to read too much D．being made to read aloud before others 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段可知，在他人面前读错字是丢人现眼的。孩子对书的恐惧和厌烦是大人要求他们在他人面前朗读导致的。‎ ‎42．The teacher told his students to read ________.‎ A．for enjoyment B．for knowledge C．for a larger vocabulary D．for higher scores in exams 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...I want you to read them only for pleasure.”可知，这位老师要求学生快乐读书。for pleasure与for enjoyment同义。‎ ‎43．Upon hearing the teacher’s talk，the children probably felt that ________.‎ A．it sounded stupid B．it was not surprising at all C．it sounded too good to be true D．it was no different from other teachers’ talk 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段首句及后面的内容可知，学生对老师说的话不太敢相信是真的。‎ ‎44．Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A．She skipped over those easy parts while reading.‎ B．She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.‎ C．She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.‎ D．She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.‎ 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“...I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”可知，这个女孩学会了欣赏难理解的书中的精彩部分。A项错在skipped over those easy parts，实际为跳过难懂的部分；B项错在had a hard time，实际是在阅读中感受到乐趣；D项在文中未提及。‎ ‎45．From the teacher’s point of view，________.‎ A．children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading B．children should be left to decide what to read and how to read C．reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school D．reading involves understanding every little piece of information 答案　B 解析　‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者认为应该让孩子们自己来决定读什么及怎么读。A、D两项在文中未提及；C项与作者的看法相反，作者认为阅读应该是一种愉快、激励人心的体验。‎ B Graphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information，especially numbers，percentages，and other data.A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret.That can be a lot more efficient than pages and pages explaining the data.‎ Graphs can seem frightening，but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story.The graph has a title，a main idea，and supporting details.You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text.‎ Most graphs have a few basic parts：a caption or introduction paragraph，a title，a legend or key，and labeled axes.An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data.Captions will usually tell you where the data came from (for example，a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005)．Captions usually summarize the author’s main point as well.The title is very important.It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown.A legend，also called a key，is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph.Many graphs，including bar graphs and line graphs，have two axes that form a corner.Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph.Each axis will always have a label.The label tells you what each axis measures.‎ Bar Graphs A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts.In Graph 1，we see that the xaxis shows grades that students earned，and the yaxis shows how many students earned each grade.You can see that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the vertical measurement.There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this (See Graph 1)．‎ Line Graphs A line graph looks similar to a bar graph，but instead of bars，it plots points and connects them with a line.It has the same parts as a bar graph—two labeled axes—and can be read the same way.To read a line graph，it’s important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points.This type of graph is most commonly used to show how something changes over time.Here is a graph ‎ that charts how far a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration (See Graph 2)．‎ The unit of measurement for the xaxis is days.The unit of measurement for the yaxis is kilometers.Thus we can see that，on the first day，the pipit flew 20 kilometers.The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2，which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2.If the line segment angled down，as between Day 4 and Day 5，it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before.This line graph is a quick，visual way to tell the reader about the bird’s migration.‎ Pie Graphs A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie.The circle is divided into sections，and each section represents a fraction of the data.The graph is commonly used to show percentages；the whole pie represents 100 percent，so each piece is a fraction of the whole.‎ A pie graph might include a legend，or it might use icons or labels within each slice.This pie graph shows one month’s expenses (See Graph 3)．‎ Food 25‎ Movies 12‎ Clothing 36‎ Savings 20‎ Books 7‎ ‎46．When used in a graph，a legend is ________.‎ A．a guide to the symbols and colors B．an introduction paragraph C．the main idea D．the data 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A legend，also called a key，is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph.”可知答案为A。‎ ‎47．What is the total number of students who earned a C or better?‎ A．4. B．6. C．10. D．20.‎ 答案　D 解析　数字计算题。根据Graph 1可知，成绩为A的有6人，成绩为B的有10人，成绩为C的有4人，共计20人。‎ ‎48．The bird covered the longest distance on ________.‎ A．Day 1 B．Day 2 C．Day 3 D．Day 4‎ 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据Graph 2可知，第三天鸟儿飞行的距离最远，为70公里。‎ ‎49．Which of the following cost Amy most?‎ A．Food. B．Books.‎ C．Movies. D．Clothing.‎ 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据Graph 3可知，衣服的花销所占比例最大，花费36。‎ C If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars，we would go in darkness happily，the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的) species on this planet.Instead，we are diurnal creatures，with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light.This is a basic evolutionary fact，even though most of us don’t think of ourselves as diurnal beings.Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night：We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.‎ The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences—called light pollution—whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study.Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design，which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky.Ⅲdesigned lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels—and light rhythms—to which many forms of life，including ourselves，have adapted.Wherever human light spills into the natural world，some aspect of life is affected.‎ In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars，leaving behind a vacant haze (霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark.We’ve grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night—dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadows on Earth—is ‎ wholly beyond our experience，beyond memory almost.‎ We’ve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country，when nothing could be further from the truth.Among mammals alone，the number of nocturnal species is astonishing.Light is a powerful biological force，and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁铁)．The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being “captured” by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms.Migrating at night，birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.‎ Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal，throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint，including their nighttime breeding choruses.Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs.Like most other creatures，we do need darkness.Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare，to our internal clockwork，as light itself.‎ Living in a glare of our own making，we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage—the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night.In a very real sense，light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe，to forget the scale of our being，which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way—the edge of our galaxy—arching overhead.‎ ‎50．According to the passage，human beings ________.‎ A．prefer to live in the darkness B．are used to living in the day light C．were curious about the midnight world D．had to stay at home with the light of the moon 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Instead，we are diurnal creatures，with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light.”可知，我们人类是白天活动的动物，习惯了在日光下生活。故答案为B。‎ ‎51．What does “it” (Paragraph 1) most probably refer to?‎ A．The night. B．The moon.‎ C．The sky. D．The planet.‎ 答案　A 解析　代词指代题。it是代词，指代前面提到的事物，而前面提到的是night，指用来照亮黑夜。‎ ‎52．The writer mentions birds and frogs to ________.‎ A．provide examples of animal protection B．show how light pollution affects animals C．compare the living habits of both species D．explain why the number of certain species has declined 答案　B 解析　目的意图题。第三段谈到了光污染，后面的段落是对光污染影响的详细说明，作者以鸟和青蛙为例来说明光污染对动物的影响。‎ ‎53．It is implied in the last paragraph that ________.‎ A．light pollution does harm to the eyesight of animals B．light pollution has destroyed some of the world heritages C．human beings cannot go to the outer space D．human beings should reflect on their position in the universe 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In a very real sense，light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe...”可推断出，我们人类应该反思我们所在宇宙中的身份地位。‎ ‎54．What might be the best title for the passage?‎ A．The Magic Light ‎ B．The Orange Haze C．The Disappearing Night ‎ D．The Rhythms of Nature 答案　C 解析　标题归纳题。整篇文章都在说明光污染给生物带来的巨大影响，本来是宁静、舒适的夜晚也被人类设计的灯光所影响。所以，标题应该是The Disappearing Night。‎ D In 2004，when my daughter Becky was ten，she and my husband，Joe，were united in their desire for a dog.As for me，I shared none of their canine lust.‎ But why，they pleaded.“Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it.“Really？You’re going to walk the dog？Feed the dog？Bathe the dog？”Yes，yes，and yes.“I don’t believe you.”We will.We promise.‎ They didn’t.From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day)，neither thought to walk the dog.While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots，to schedule her vet appointments，to feed and clean her，Misty knew this on day one.As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small，medium，and large)，she calculated，“The_medium_one_is_the_sucker_in_the_pack.”‎ Quickly，she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld(心灵融合)．She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers，beam her need，and then wait，trusting I would understand—which，strangely，I almost always did.In no time，she became my fifth appendage (附肢)，snoring on my homeoffice couch as I worked，cradling against my feet as I read，and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.‎ Even so，part of me continued to resent walking duty.Joe and Becky had promised.Not fair，I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked.“Not fair，” I’d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.‎ Then one day—January 1,2007，to be exact—my husband’s doctor uttered an unthinkable word：leukemia (白血病)．With that，I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital，doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort.During those six months of hospitalizations，Becky,12 at the time，adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school.My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment’s notice for medical emergencies.Every part of my life changed；no part of my old routine remained.‎ Save one：Misty still needed walking.At the beginning，when friends offered to take her through her paces，I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.‎ As the months went by，I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty.The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet，peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to ‎ just be before the day’s medical drama unfolded.The evening walk was a time to shake off the day’s upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.‎ When serious illness visits your household，it’s not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar.Pretty much everyone you know acts differently.‎ Not Misty.Take her for a walk，and she had no interest in Joe’s blood counts or bone marrow test results.On the street or in the park，she had only one thing on her mind：squirrels！She was so joyous that even on the worst days，she could make me smile.On a daily basis，she reminded me that life goes on.‎ After Joe died in 2009，Misty slept on his pillow.‎ I’m grateful—to a point.The truth is，after years of balking，I’ve come to enjoy my walks with Misty.As I watch her chase after a squirrel，throwing her whole being into the hereandnow of an exercise that has never once ended in victory，she reminds me，too，that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future，there’s almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.‎ ‎55．Why didn’t the writer agree

no fear.‎ F．Go it alone.‎ One of the best things you can do any time in the semester is go see the professor.So hoof on over to an office hour and have some oneonone face time with someone who’ll help you master the material and improve your grade，to boot.But how should you have this conversation with the professor？Here are five insider tips about how to make that office hour really count：‎ ‎61．________ No need to get all bent out of shape about going to see the professor.The professor would actually like to see you and answer your questions.Believe it or not，he or she is on your side and is eager to see you do well.And besides，he or she has seen many students ‎ stupider than you，so nothing you’re going to ask will set the record for stupidity.‎ ‎62．________ Even though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner，the office hour will go better if it’s just you and the professor.You’ll get in more questions，the discussion will be tailored to what you need most help on，and twoparty communication is almost always more productive than committee work.Your friend can wait outside for the discussion.‎ ‎63．________ If you can’t make the official office hours，most professors are willing to make individual appointments to help you out.If you’re lucky enough to land such an accommodation，though，be sure you’re 100 percent on time.There’s nothing that ticks off a professor more than making him or herself available for a custom office hour only to find that you don’t care enough to come on time.And besides，the professor might leave after ten minutes，which would make your trip a total loss.‎ ‎64．________ If you’re meeting with the professor to go over a paper or test，or to ask questions about a particular lecture or reading，make sure you bring that paper or test，or your lecture notes or a copy of the article.The professor doesn’t remember the comments he or she wrote on your individual piece of work—though he or she will be able to recall them after just a brief glance at your work.And if you have your lecture notes or the article in hand，you and the professor will be able to examine specific points that are confusing to you，rather than just talking in a general way about the contents.‎ ‎65．________Office hours almost always go better if you bring a few specific questions to the meeting.It’s almost never good to start a meeting with general comments such as：“I didn’t understand what you said about [main topic of the course]” or “I couldn’t understand any of your lectures last week.” Much better is to come in with two or three conversationstarters about a specific concept，point，or problem you didn’t understand.Keep in mind that in a fifteenminute office hour (which is how long these things usually last)，two or three questions are usually the most you’ll have time to discuss.‎ 答案　61.E　62.F　63.D　64.C　65.A 非选择题部分(共40分)‎ 第三部分　写作(共两节，满分40分)‎ 第一节　短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)‎ 下面短文中有10处语言错误。请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词。‎
