"I'll just have a quick look and shut it down. "‎ Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and 18‎ ‎ this new Computer really puzzled him.‎ It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model," his father had explained, "so don’t touch it under any circumstances. " But his father's warning only seized to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen; "SPACE TRANSPORTER.”‎ ‎"Yes!" Mark cried excitedly, "It's a computer game. I knew it! Dad's only been pretending to work. He's really been playing games instead. " A new message appeared on the screen; "ENTER NAMES VOYAGER 1:…‎ VOYAGER 2:…‎ Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.‎ ‎"INPUT ACCEPTED. START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.

He was really frightened：我认为我们最好把它关掉，Jason大叫道，去碰开关。他真的受到了惊吓；可根据frightened这个单词，我们得知这并只是怕被责备这么简单，而是感受到可能会有危险的事情发生。此题混淆选项是A。故选D。‎ ‎【难度】较难 ‎60. 【答案】B ‎【试题解析】细节理解。问的是故事的最后发生了什么事。由最后一段“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION(目的的)：MARS.RETRIEVE DATE: 2005."当中的Mars是可以得知他们去了火星。故选B—被送去了其他的星球 ‎【难度】一般 B A Book Review — The Snake-Stone by Berlie Doherty The setting: Urban England (the cities), but also rural England (the countryside) including remote English villages.‎ The theme: The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James' swimming coach says to him: “ You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving-Tike "a young man who knows where he is going. '‎ The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents (. Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James' parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.‎ The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James' foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil, ' the snake stone' which she left behind along with a note on which she had written, 'Take good care of Sammie.' It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.‎ 18‎ The journey; Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger’s door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. As a journey of self-discovery The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending. Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents, ' I was home.’‎ ‎61. What is the main theme of the novel?‎ A. Life with foster parents. B. Life in the world of diving.‎ C. A journey of self-discovery. D. A travel around the country.‎ ‎62. What do the coach's words in Paragraph 2 suggest?‎ A. James is a successful diver. B. James is a hopeful swimmer.‎ C. James is an outgoing young man. D. James is an independent young man.‎ ‎63. The snake stone in the novel is ‎ A. a stone with an address on it B. a clue left by the birth mother C. a gift from the swimming coach D. a fossil left by the foster parents ‎64. Which of the following is true about the novel?‎ A. The story has a sad ending.‎ B. The story takes place in the city of London.‎ C. The characters are vividly described.‎ D. The turning point comes after the hero meets his birth mother.‎ ‎65. It can be concluded that James' journey is_________‎ A. worthwhile B. boring C. comfortable D. disappointing 一个书评，每段的内容都很明确，做题时要注意每段粗体开头的提示。‎ ‎61【答案】B ‎【试题解析】主旨题。题目中的关键词theme对应文章当中的第二段的第一句：The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery。所以答案选C。‎ ‎【难度】一般 ‎62【答案】D ‎【难度】中等 ‎【试题解析】句义理解。you are not like a kid obeying instruction any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.你并不再像个服从命令的小孩了，你现在是一个知道何去何从的男人。一般而言，句子的理解一定是从现象到本质，所以最表面的理解通常是错误的，故排除A,B选项。C是说他是一个外向的年轻男人，并未提及他的性格，故选择D，他是一个独立的男人。‎ ‎63【答案】B ‎【试题解析】细节理解，用snake stone定位。可以看到两句话：第三段：The other characters in The Snack –Stone, James’s parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.这句话对解题并没有用处。就再看到第四段的：The only clue he has is a fossil, “the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written, “Take good care of Sammie.”他拥有的唯一的一个线索就是一个化石---她所留下来的“the snake stone”并且伴随着一张纸条，上面写着“照顾好Sammie”。故选择B.—一个由他的亲生母亲留下来的线索。‎ ‎【难度】中等 ‎64.【答案】C ‎【试题解析】细节判断题。A：这个故事有一个悲伤的结尾。（错误原因：文章第五段说The Snake-Stone also ‎ 18‎ provides its readers with a happy ending. The Snake-Stone给读者提供了一个开心的结尾）；B：这个故事发生在伦敦。（错误原因：文章第四段：Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother.而不是去伦敦，James决定去找他的亲生母亲）；C：角色都被生动的描述。（正确原因：文章第三段：The other characters in The Snack –Stone, James’s parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.在The Snack –Stone,当中的其他角色，James的父母，他的潜水老师，最好的朋友，村民们，在他旅途当中遇见的人，都被描述的很真实。vividly described.对应着pictured realistically.）；D：故事的转折点发生在英雄遇见自己亲生母亲之后。（错误原因：文章中第四段：The turning point in the story comes while James’ foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother.在故事中的转折点发生在James的养父母离开在伦敦的时候，他很想知道他亲生母亲的身份。‎ ‎【难度】中等 ‎65【答案】A ‎【试题解析】主旨大意题。通过文章的最后一段Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. As a journey of self-discovery The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending.可以得知，形容这个旅程的词一定不是负面的。所以排除B无聊的，和D令人失望的。剩下A有价值的，值得做的,和C舒适的。但由于James has painful, challenging, but also humorous, and happy travels.这句话当中说到了painful，也就意味着这一定不是舒适的。故选A.‎ ‎【难度】中等 C Big Brothers Big Sisters is based on the simplicity and power of friendship.

A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured（忍受）. The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.‎ Then there is the time spent being“processed” at a modem airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being “ processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.‎ Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday-maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls people's lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing — or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.‎ ‎71. What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1?‎ A. Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.‎ B. The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short,‎ C. The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.‎ D. Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.‎ ‎72. How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?‎ A. By giving instructions.‎ B. By analyzing cause and effect.‎ C. By following the order of time.‎ D. By giving examples.‎ ‎73. According to Paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modem high-speed trains because_______.‎ A. they pay less for the tickets B. they feel safer during the travel C. they ran enjoy higher speed of travel D. they don’t have to waste time being “processed”‎ ‎74., What does the last sentence of the passage mean?‎ A. They enjoy tree and relaxing travel.‎ B. They needed the clock to tell the time.‎ C. They preferred traveling on horseback.‎ D. They could travel with their master.‎ ‎75. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Air travel benefits people and industries.‎ B. Train travel has some advantages over air travel.‎ C. Great changes have taken place in modern travel.‎ 18‎ D. The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.‎ 本文主要讲述现代人乘坐飞机的同时所付出的代价。‎ ‎71题：‎ ‎【答案】B ‎【试题解析】推理判断题。第一段中心句“Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.”。‎ ‎【难度】中等 ‎72题：‎ ‎【答案】D ‎【试题解析】文章段落结构。第二段是总分结构，主旨句在段首段尾。本句后面就是对于这个观点的具体解释，用火车轮船飞机的例子来说明论点。‎ ‎【难度】一般 ‎73题：‎ ‎【答案】D ‎【试题解析】细节题。本段主要介绍乘飞机前的一系列手续，这些被认为是浪费时间的，而后文介绍“Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent.”这也是火车优于飞机的点。‎ ‎【难度】中等 ‎74题：‎ ‎【答案】A ‎【试题解析】推理判断题。推断题直接翻译的BD排除，根据倒数第二句前面的“were enjoying a better world than the one we know today”可知他们比现在我们更能享受到自由的美景。‎ ‎【难度】中等 ‎75题：‎ ‎【答案】D 考点：主旨题 ‎【试题解析】本文出现的关键词airplane，排除BC，文章并不是侧重于乘飞机的优点，而是人们为了追求速度乘飞机所付出的代价。‎ ‎【难度】较难 第二卷（非选择题 满分35分）‎ 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 阅读表达 ‎[ 1 ] Stamp collectors usually collect stamps only from certain countries or regions.
