Making, concerned B. Make, concerning C. To make, concerned D. Making, concerning ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：就未来而言，做正确的决定可能是我们一生中做的最重要的事。分析句子可知，句子的谓语是is，第一处空白应该是make the right decision（做决定）充当主语，所以要用动名词形式；第二空应是concerning做介词，意为“关于；就......而言”‎ ‎。故选D。‎ ‎【点睛】动名词作主语，在动词的基础上加ing，使该动词或动词短语有名词的各种特征，可作名词灵活使用。此题考的是动名词做主语。还会出现动名词做主语时，用 it 作先行主语，多见于某些形容词及名词之后。例如：‎ It is no use telling him not to worry．‎ 常见的能用于这种结构的形容词还有：better，wonderful，enjoyable，interesting，foolish，difficult，useless，senseless，worthwhile，等。‎ 注意：important，essential，necessary 等形容词不能用于上述结构。‎ ‎3.There are many sayings in English urging us to be _______.

The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20.‎ Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt impressed，stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.‎ He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. “I must get a dog then.” He said to himself.‎ Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid ‎ was alone as it’s possible to be – an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends.‎ He thought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty–two now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of becoming a musician, a folksinger. She knew all of the Weavers’ songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle. When he was home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang.‎ His long absences – two or three months sometimes – were hard on the marriage. He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married, and both of them had a vague (not clear) sense that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn’t when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and, she was gone. The note read, “Robert, it didn’t work out, I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch.”‎ He didn’t stay in touch. Neither did she. He signed the divorce papers when they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day. She had asked for nothing except her freedom.‎ ‎31. Which statement is true according to the passage?‎ A. Kincaid’s parents were dead and he only kept in touch with some distant relatives.‎ B. Kincaid would have had a dog if he hadn’t been away from home too much.‎ C. Kincaid used to have a golden retriever.‎ D. Kincaid needed a dog in doing his hard fieldwork.‎ ‎32. Why did Kincaid stop to take photos while driving?‎ A To write “memory snapshots”.‎ B. To remind himself of places he might want to visit again.‎ C. To avoid forgetting the way back.‎ D. To shoot beautiful scenery along the road.‎ ‎33. What can you know about Marian?‎ A. She died after five years of marriage.‎ B. She was older than Kincaid.‎ C. She could sing very well and earned big money.‎ D. She was not a professional pop singer.‎ ‎34. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that A. Marian knew what would happen before she married Kincaid.‎ B. Kincaid thought his absence would be a problem when he married Marian.‎ C. It turned out that Marian could not stand Kincaid’s absence and left him.‎ D. After Marian left him, they still kept in touch with each other.‎ ‎【答案】31. B 32. B 33. D 34. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章是Kincaid的故事。记叙了Kincaid自驾旅行的始末及他在旅途中对自身往事的回忆。‎ ‎【31题详解】‎ 推理判断题。从第三自然段中的He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog可知他一生中无数次希望他可以有一条狗；从第三自然段中的But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal.可知他经常离开，大部分时间在海外，这对动物来说不公平。所以如果不是经常离家，Kincaid会想养狗。故选B。‎ ‎【32题详解】‎ 细节理解题。从第二自然段中的The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again可知拍下这些照片的目的是提醒他，那些他还想再去的地方。所以Kincaid驾驶的时候停下来拍照是为了用照片提醒自己哪些地方想再去。故选B。‎ ‎【33题详解】‎ 推理判断题。从第五自然段中的Marian had dreams of becoming a musician ,a folksinger可知Marian梦想成为一个音乐家，民歌演唱者。所以她不是专业的流行歌者。故选D。‎ ‎【34题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由倒数第二段His long absences – two or three months sometimes – were hard on the marriage. 可知他长时间不在，有时候是两到三个月，对婚姻而言是很难的。由倒数第二段It couldn’t when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and, she was gone.可知当他从冰岛寄照片回来的时候，她决定离开。所以Marian 不能忍受Kincaid的不在，离开了他。故选C。‎ B We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the ‎ rhythm. Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.‎ ‎　　Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people and others laugh. Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!‎ ‎　　The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!‎ ‎　　No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don’t care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and so on… No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?‎ Life is so short… You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity(呆板)? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:‎ ‎　　"Dance as though no one is watching you,‎ ‎　　Love as though you have never been hurt before,‎ ‎　　Sing as though no one can hear you,‎ ‎　　Live as though heaven is on earth."‎ ‎　　When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.‎ So don’t lose the child that still lives within you. The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn’t want to feel good?‎ ‎35. According to the passage, what does the writer usually do?‎ A. He pretends to be a rock star. B. He dances in his own home.‎ C. He sings songs while going to work. D. He gets jammed on his way to work.‎ ‎36. What do other people think of the writer?‎ A. They think that the writer is strange. B. They look down upon the writer.‎ C. They believe that the writer is lonely. D. No one is interested in the writer.‎ ‎37. What is the writer’s opinion about the people who look very serious?‎ A. They are honest. B. They are silly.‎ C. They are perfect. D. They are educated.‎ ‎38. The writer quotes Souza to show that _______.‎ A. life is a beautiful journey B. life is full of rigidity C. life is like a great recipe D. life is to be treasured ‎39.

D 39. C ‎【解析】‎ 你有没有过把自己想像成歌星，伴着自己喜爱的歌曲边跳边唱的时候呢？大多数人只是在自己私密的空间内才会完全释放自己，而本文作者却是率性而为，尤其喜欢在开车时候手舞足蹈地唱，不怕引得路人侧目，也不怕被人看作是傻子。在作者看来人生是短暂的，人们没必要伪装自己，要活得开心快乐。‎ ‎【35题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段 I love to do that when I drive!可知作者喜欢上班开车时唱歌，故答案选C。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段的I get weird looks from some people and others laugh. 可知，作者从其他人的笑声中得到了奇怪的表情。因此可推断，人们认为作者是奇怪的。故选A。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由文章第三段So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!可知作者认为正襟危坐，不苟言笑是愚蠢的行为，所以判断B选项正确。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由上文Life is so short. …..so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity可知作者认为要珍惜生命，而引用Souza的话也恰好表明了和作者同样的人生态度,由此推断作者引用这段话的目的是为了说明生活是值得珍惜的,所以D选项正确。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据上文However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.可知，随着我们的成长，我们失去了孩子般的纯真，结合下文The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow. (下次你感到沮丧的时候，去打开你最喜欢的歌，像没有明天一样唱歌跳舞。)可推断划线句句意：因此不要失去仍旧存在你内心里的孩子们的纯真，故划线词语C项“作为孩子的感觉”相符。故正确答案是C。‎ C Imagine your body is like the house you live in. Every day, your family creates rubbish. The rubbish builds up until it is put out for the weekly garbage collection.‎ Now, say you put three bags of garbage out, but because one of the collectors was away sick, only two bags are collected. You take the leftover bag inside to be put out again next week. The following week you put out another three bags, plus the leftover bag from last week. But again, only two bags are collected. Imagine this cycle is repeated over the following weeks.‎ This is a simple description of what happens to your body when your kidneys (肾) don’t work efficiently. Your body is not thoroughly emptied of waste products. Other areas of the body such as blood pressure and red blood cell production are affected and the insidious process that may lead to kidney failure begins.‎ It’s not uncommon for people to lose up to 90 percent of their kidney function before developing any symptoms. There may be no warning signs. This makes early detection(诊察) difficult.‎ Kidney’s main job is to remove toxins (毒素) and unwanted water from our blood. Every day our kidneys clean an average of 200 litres of blood. Kidney failure may be a gradual and silent process, going unnoticed because there is no apparent pain.‎ Research shows that more than 25 percent of patients found to require dialysis (透析) do not see a kidney specialist until less than 90 days before dialysis starts. Some risk factors for kidney disease such as age and genetic make-up are out of our control; however, some changes in lifestyle may help prevent kidney damage. Two major risk factors for kidney disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, have been on the rise over the last few decades. Both conditions are chiefly affected by being overweight and not getting enough exercise, which are the potential factors for the disease.‎ ‎40. The author gives the example of the house we live in to indicate that ________.‎ A. it’s safe and harmless for our body to keep some waste B. it doesn’t matter much if the waste in our body is not emptied in time C. it’s important for our body to empty the waste in time every day D. our body will not produce any waste if our kidneys work efficiently ‎41. The underlined word “insidious” (in Paragraph 3) means ________.‎ A. gradual and unnoticed B. apparent and fast C. smooth and safe D. painful and long ‎42. We can infer that when we find some symptoms related to our kidneys, ________.‎ A. the kidney failure begins B. the kidneys may have been seriously damaged C. we have lost about 10 percent of kidney function D. the kidneys can still work properly ‎43. How many factors of kidney disease are mentioned in the passage?‎ A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.‎ ‎44. Which of the following helps prevent kidney damage?‎ A. Go to see a kidney specialist shortly before dialysis starts.‎ B. Go to see a kidney specialist whenever you find any warning sign.‎ C. Try to keep low blood pressure and a stable lifestyle.‎ D. Take enough exercise and make early detection of kidney disease.‎ ‎【答案】40. C 41. A 42. B 43. D 44. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。我们的肾脏就像我们的家一样，需要及时排除垃圾。文章主要讲述了肾脏出现问题的原因，以及巨大危害，分析了肾脏问题出现的重要因素，并指出如何预防肾病。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章一二段的内容，以及第三段的This is a simple description of what happens to your body when your kidneys (肾) don’t work efficiently.可推断，作者列举家庭处理垃圾情况的主要目的是让我们明白身体和家一样需要及时处理垃圾，不然对身体有害。C. it’s important for our body to empty the waste in time every day（对于我们的身体来说每天及时排空垃圾很重要）符合以上说法，故选C项。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第三段的Other areas of the body such as blood pressure and red blood cell production are affected and the insidious process that may lead to kidney failure begins.和第四段的 There may be no warning signs.可知，肾功能的变化是由身体其它变化引起的，是一个渐变的过程，而且这个变化没有任何警示，故推测划线词的意思是“逐渐的/慢慢的，无法察觉的”。A. gradual and unnoticed（逐渐的，看不见的）符合以上推测，故选A项。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章第四段的It’s not uncommon for people to lose up to 90 percent of their kidney function before developing any symptoms. There may be no warning signs.可知，90%的症状在被确诊之前是看不出来的，而且没有任何的预警，故推测当人们发现肾病症状时，肾可能已经严重受损。B. the kidneys may have been seriously damaged（肾脏可能已经严重受损）符合以上推测，故选B项。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段内容age and genetic make-up, diabetes and high blood pressure, overweight and not getting enough exercise,（衰老，基因组成，糖尿病，高血压，超重和不运动）可知，这六项都是导致肾病的原因。故选D项。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章第四段的There may be no warning signs. This makes early detection(诊察) difficult. 和第六段的Both conditions are chiefly affected by being overweight and not getting enough exercise, which are the potential factors for the disease.可推测，早期诊察，做足够的锻炼可以预防肾损伤。D. Take enough exercise and make early detection of kidney disease.（做足够的锻炼和肾脏的早期诊察可以预防肾损伤）符合以上说法，故选D项。‎ D The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential（潜力）of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically. Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically.‎ ‎ On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.‎ On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.‎ The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.‎ Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.‎ ‎45. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.‎ A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potential B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products C. diet products are misleading people D. people are fed up with diet products ‎46. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means _______.‎ A. losing weight is effortless B. it costs a lot to lose weight C. diet products bring no pain D. diet products are free from calories ‎47. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products .‎ A. are over-consumed B. lack basic nutrients C. are short of chemicals D. provide too much energy ‎48. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?‎ Notes: CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion A. B. ‎ C. D. ‎ ‎【答案】45. C 46. A 47. B 48. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。我们的生活中充斥着各种各样的减肥产品。事实上，减肥产品不仅在身体上而且在心理上都给人们带来了危害。减肥需要坚强的决心和实际的努力锻炼，因此我们应该向减肥产品说不。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由第一段We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential（潜力）of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically. Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically.可知我们很容易被减肥产品的承诺和功效吸引，而不思考减肥产品给我们带来了什么。我们付钱购买伤害我们身心健康的产品。减肥产品极大地从心理上削弱我们。所以减肥产品没有他们自己宣传的那么好，还会伤害我们自己，即减肥产品在误导我们。故选C。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据上文Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results.可知每次喝零卡路里的饮料时，我们都在毫无意识地告诉自己不用工作就能有回报。以及下文life can be without resistance and struggle.生活可以没有反抗和奋斗。因此推断gain comes without pain的意思是说明减肥是毫不费力的。故选C。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them ‎ instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分).可知减肥食物会间接伤害我们的身体，因为消费减肥食物而不是健康食物就意味着我们正在阻止我们的身体获得基本营养。所以推断减肥食物伤害身体是因为减肥食品缺少基本的营养成分。故选B。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由第一段We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically是我们在关注对我们身心有害的产品；由第二段All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.可知减肥让我们做的是认识“节食”这个标签；由第二段diet products have greater psychological effects.可知减肥产品有很大的心理影响；由第四段The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause.可知减肥产品的危害不仅在心理方面，也在身体方面；由第五段it is time to seriously think about buying them.可知要认真考虑要不要买减肥产品。所以文章是先说了减肥产品对身心有害，然后举了两个观点：一是我们了解“节食”这个标签，二是有很大的心理影响。在心理影响之后又补充了身体的影响，最后提出要认真考虑买不买减肥产品。即总说下两个观点，在第二个观点上有两个支持点，最后再总结。所以选B。‎ 第II卷（共28分）‎ 第一部分 单词填空 ‎49.

Drawing upon ‎ ‎57. to their relief ‎ ‎58. bring to mind ‎ ‎59. all of a sudden ‎ ‎60. in honor of ‎ ‎61. caught a glimpse of ‎【解析】‎ ‎【55题详解】‎ 考查动词时态。句意：街头音乐能振奋匆匆赶去上班的乘客的精神。分析句子可知，从句使用一般过去时，故主句也是一般过去时态，lifte the spirits of意为“振奋……的精神”，符合句意，故填lifted the spirits of。‎ ‎【56题详解】‎ 考查现在分词做状语。句意：利用想象力，作者在他最新小说的结构上增添了情节。分析句子可知，主语the writer，谓语added；draw upon（利用，使用，采用）不能做谓语，与逻辑主语the writer是主动关系，所以用doing做状语，且谓语句首。故填Drawing upon。‎ ‎【57题详解】‎ 考查固定短语。句意：他们的儿子回家了，安然无恙，让他们松了了口气。to one’s relief意为“让人松了口气|使某人欣慰|使人安心”，根据句意，应该是他们松了口气，应该用their，故填to their relief。‎ ‎【58题详解】‎ 考查固定搭配。句意：我想不起我们上次见面的确切日期了，但大概是在五月底。bring…to mind意为“想起……”，符合句意，前面是can’t，后接动词原形，故填bring to mind。‎ ‎【59题详解】‎ 考查固定搭配。句意：当我们在湖中心时，突然吹来一阵强风。all of a sudden意为“突然”，符合句意，故填all of a sudden。‎ ‎【60题详解】‎ 考查固定搭配。句意：为纪念为我们国家献出生命的战士举办了这次庆典。in honor of意为“为了纪念或者为了欢迎某人/事”，符合句意，故填in honor of。‎ ‎【61题详解】‎ 考查动词时态。句意：当一个故事在我脑海中呈现出来，我瞥见了我的想法，就迅速将它草拟成一个提纲。分析句子可知，要用一般过去时态，catch a glimpse of意为“瞥见、窥见”，符合句意。故填caught a glimpse of。‎ 第三部分：书面表达（共15分）‎ ‎62.假设你是李华，你收到英国笔友 Tom 发来的一封邮件，得知他最近转入了一所新学校，在新学校里他没有朋友感到很孤单。请你给他回复邮件，内容包括：‎ ‎1. 帮他分析原因；‎ ‎2. 给他提出建议（至少两条）；‎ ‎3. 美好祝愿。‎ 注意：1. 词数不少于 100；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3. 格式正确 Dear Tom,‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Dear Tom,‎ I am sorry to hear that you feel lonely in your new school.
