I am considering traveling in a small town, especially ___________with an ocean view.‎ ‎—I agree with you; I would appreciate it if you could take me there.‎ A. it B. one C. that D. this ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】考查代词。上句：春节即将来临。我正考虑在一个小镇旅行，特别是一个有海洋景色的一个小镇。下句：我同意你的观点，如果你能带我到那里我将非常感激。此处用one代替a small town。故选B。‎ ‎2. Some special projects are ________ to protect our environment, so we may be _____ to having a clean and beautiful home in the near future.‎ A. on the way; under way B. under way; on the way C. in the way; on the way D. on the way; in the way ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】试题分析：‎ under way 在进行中 on the way在路上 in the way妨碍 句意：一些特殊的项目正在实施中来保护我们的环境，所以我们在不久的将来将会有一个干净美丽的家园。故选B 考点：way 所构成短语用法。‎ 点评：此类题要牢记这几个短语的意思，需要注意的是既有on the way to do sth .也有 on the way doing sth,区别在于如果是实实在在的马路用前者，如on the way to shop去购物的路上，如指虚拟的路用后者，如on his way to becoming a boss，在他成为老板的路上了。‎ ‎3. It is you rather than he that ______ for this terrible accident.‎ A. is blamed B. is to blame C. are to blame D. should blame ‎【答案】C 考点：考查词组和主谓一致 ‎4. Jack____________ his homework，for he is playing football outside.‎ A. couldn’t have finished B. must finish C. must have finished D. might have finished ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】考查情态动词。A. couldn’t have finished 不可能已经做了某事； B. must finish 一定完成；C. must have finished 一定完成了某事； D. might have finished可能已经完成了某事。句意：杰克一定是做完他的作业了，因为他在外面踢足球。此处表示对过去有把握的肯定推测，故选C。‎ ‎【名师点睛】‎ 情态动词+ have done结构：‎ ‎1.“must + have + 过去分词”表示对过去发生的事情或状态进行推测,语气比较坚定,通常只用于肯定句.如：It must have rained last night,for the ground is wet.‎ ‎2.“can / could + have + 过去分词”表示对过去某种情况的怀疑或不确定.can和could一般用于否定句和疑问句,could的语气较can弱.如：He can't have finished the work so soon. 3.“may / might + have + 过去分词”表示对已发生的动作或存在的状态进行不肯定的推测,might的语气比may弱一点.这种结构主要用于肯定句和否定句,疑问句改用can或could.‎ 如：They may not have known it beforehand.‎ ‎4.“need + have + 过去分词”表示过去做了不必做或不需要做的事情,或过去做某事纯属多余.如：I needn't have bought so much wine—only five people came. 5.“should / ought to + have + 过去分词”表示过去本该做某事但没做,其否定式表示过去不该做某事但做了,这种句式含有不满或责备之意,ought to的语气比should强一些.如： You ought to / should have studied harder.你本应该更努力学习的.（但没有）  He oughtn't to / shouldn't have done that.他本来就不该做那件事.（可是做了）  6.“would ＋ have ＋ 过去分词”表示对过去的某种情况进行猜测,或本来要做某事却因某种原因未做成,通常用来说明某一情况,但不像用should或ought to那样含有责备之意.如： I guess the poet would have been about twenty when she wrote her first poem. Another worker wouldn't have acted like that.‎ ‎5. Friendships between girls are usually _______ in shared feelings and support, but friendships between boys are based on shared activities or interests.‎ A. focused B. remarked C. concentrated D. anchored ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】试题分析：考查固定搭配。句意：女生之间的友谊通常是以共享的情感和支持为基础的，但是男生间的友谊却是以共享的活动或兴趣为基础的。be focused on集中注意力于......；remark on评论；concentrate on集中；be anchored in以......为基础。故选D。‎ 考点：考查固定搭配 ‎6. — Peter, this is Laura, a student from No. 2 Middle School.‎ ‎—How do you do? I’m very delighted to make your _______.‎ A. acquaintance B. identity C. apology D. security ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】试题分析：考查名词辨析。句意：皮特，这是劳拉，来自第二中学。--你好。很高兴认识你。A熟人，认识；B身份，个性；C道歉；D安全。make one’s acquaintance与某人初次相识；结识某人。故选A。‎ 考点：考查名词辨析 ‎7. Among the biggest problems facing those remote mountainous villages __________the lack of experienced teachers.‎ A. is B. are C. is there D. are there ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】考查完全倒装和主谓一致。句意：这些偏远山区村庄面临的最大问题之一是有经验老师的缺乏。此句是完全倒装，the lack是句子的主语，一般现在时态，故答案为A。‎ ‎【名师点睛】‎ 完全倒装的基本形式是“谓语+主语”，主要涉及以下几种类型：‎ ‎1.here类 当表示地点的here和 there位于句首时，其后用完全倒装形式。这类倒装句的谓语通常是动词be和come, go等表示移动或动态的不及物动词。如：Here’s Tom. 汤姆在这里。There goes the last train. 最后一班火车开走了。这类倒装句的主语只能是名词，若主语为代词，则不能倒装。如：Here it comes. 它来了。‎ ‎2.away类 副词away, down, in, off, out, over, round, up 等位于句首时，其后也用完全倒装语序。这类倒装句的谓语通常表示动态的不及物动词。如：Away went the runners. 赛跑选手们跑远了。这类倒装句的主语也只能是名词，若主语为代词，则不用倒装。如：Away he went. 他跑远了。‎ ‎3.状语或表语类 为了保持句子平衡或使上下文衔接紧密，有时可将状语或表语置于句首，句中主语和谓语完全倒装。如：Among these people was his friend Jim. 他的朋友吉姆就在这些人当中。‎ By the window sat a young man with a magazine in his hand. 窗户边坐着一个年轻人，手里拿着一本杂志。‎ 在表语置于句首的这类倒装结构中，要注意其中的谓语应与其后的主语保持一致，而不是与位于句首的表语保持一致。比较：In the box was a cat. 箱子里是一只猫。In the box were some cats. 箱子里是一些猫。‎ ‎4.非谓语动词类 有时为了强调，可将谓语部分的现在分词、过去分词或不定式置于句首，从而构成倒装。如：Standing beside the table was his wife. 站在桌旁的是他的妻子。Buried in the ‎ sands was an ancient village. 一个古老的村庄被埋在这沙土之中。‎ ‎8. New version of Paris climate agreement ___________, the whole world has seen a promising future of lower planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions.‎ A. releasing B. released C. has released D. has been released ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】考查过去分词的独立主格结构。句意：巴黎气候协议新版本发布，全世界都看到了一个较低的地球变暖温室气体排放的广阔前景。句子中间是一个逗号，所以不可能是并列句；前半句没有引导词，所以不可能是状语从句；因此只能是非谓语动词，New version of Paris climate agreement和release之间是被动关系，且与句子的主语the whole world不一致，所以此处是过去分词的独立主格结构。故选B。‎ ‎9. The recent economic situation ______ into consideration, the manager ______ down on the amount of money invested in the stock market.‎ A. was taken; cut B. taken; cut ‎ C. taking; cuts D. to take; cutting ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】考查过去分词和动词时态。句意：考虑到最近的经济形势，经理减少了投资股票市场的钱额。句子中间是一个逗号，所以不可能是并列句；前半句没有引导词，所以不可能是状语从句；因此只能是非谓语动词，The recent economic situation 和take into consideration之间是被动关系，且与句子的主语the manager不一致，所以此处是过去分词的独立主格结构，第一空答案为taken。根据句意可知句子用一般过去时态，第二空为cut。故答案为B。‎ ‎10. ___________the last bus, he was late and was the last one ________to the destination.‎ A. Not having caught; to get B. Having not caught; to get C. Not catching; getting D. Hadn’t caught; to get ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】试题分析：‎ 句意：因为他没有能够赶上最后一辆公交车，他迟到了，并且是最后一个到达目的地的。‎ catch the bus赶公交车的动作发生在主句谓语动词was之前，故用having ‎ done形式。否定置于having之前。第二空the last one to do sth,最后一个做某事，故选A。‎ 考点：非谓语动词 点评：本题重在理解非谓语动词的用法，非谓语动词是高考语法点的重中之重。把握好以下的知识：to do 表目的、将来；doing 表主动、伴随；done表被动、完成。同时答题步骤为：1.判断是否为非谓语动词，看是否有连词。2.找逻辑主语。3.判断逻辑主语与非谓语动词的关系。4.看是否非谓语动词动作发生在主句谓语动作之前，如果是之前，就用完成式的形式。‎ ‎11. We still have a long way to go to solve all the problems ____________the Yangtze River.‎ A. regardless of B. in regard to C. in search of D. instead of ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】试题分析：考查短语辨析。句意：就解决长江的所有问题而言，还有很长的路要走。A不管，不顾；B关于；C搜寻；D代替。故选B。‎ 考点：考查短语辨析 ‎12. Scientists think calculating is a necessary skill_________ they base their researches.‎ A. on it B. on that C. on which D. on whose ‎【答案】C ‎.............................................‎ ‎13. As the town ______ good restaurants, we just treated the foreign friends to some local food at home yesterday.‎ A. didn’t have B. doesn’t have C. won’t have D. hadn’t had ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】试题分析：考查动词时态及句意理解。句意：因为镇上没有好的餐馆，我们只好在家里用当地食品招待外国客人。虽然句中用yesterday作为时间状语，但是没有好餐馆是现在这一段时间的一个事实，所以应该采用一般现在时态，故B正确。‎ 考点：考查动词时态及句意理解 ‎14. —The Chinese men's basketball team won the champion in the final of the Asian championship in Changsha on Oct. 3rd, 2015.‎ ‎—Fantastic! It is the 16th time in history that China ___________the honorable award.‎ A. got B. had got C. have got D. has got ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】考查动词时态。固定句式：It is the first(second---) time that 主语+ 现在完成时态+ 其他。China是主语，故选D。‎ ‎15. —How come Tom picked a quarrel with his wife?‎ ‎—________? We also have the occasional argument.‎ A. What’s on B. How’s that C. Who doesn’t D. Why not ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】试题分析：句意— 怎么汤姆和他的妻子吵架了？ —谁不吵架呀? 我们偶尔也争论。A. What’s on 怎么啦，发生什么事了？ B. How’s that 怎么回事？C. Who doesn’t谁不会有这样的事呀？D. Why not为什么不？故选C。‎ 考点：考查日常交际用语的用法。‎ 第二节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)‎ 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选 项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ My first full time job after high school was selling vacation packages via telephone for a well-known company. One day, the dialer___16___me to a man who answered the phone and ___17___a bit out of breath. I started with my normal pitch（推销), and___18___to hear the normal, "I don't want any," and be hung up on.‎ Instead he spoke in a low, weak voice and told me how he wished he could take a ___19___like the one I was offering, but couldn't___20___he was dying of emphysema (肺气肿). He___21___how he was on oxygen, and it took almost all his___22___just ‎ to get to the phone to answer the call. I___23___,and my heart fell into my stomach. He asked me if I smoked, which I did, and then begged me to stop. He told me smoking is ___24___was killing him, and how horrible it was. He told me to___25___every day with my loved ones, and tell them all the time how much I love them. At this___26___, I was in tears, and couldn't control myself, and he could tell.‎ After a few moments, I decided to write down his name and___27___, and just send him a card telling him that I___28___his advice and that I would pray for him and his family.  Shortly after, I received a nice letter back from Frank, along with a picture of him and his wife.  We continued to write back and forth over the next few months or so, and became very___29___of each other.  He was old enough to be my grandfather, and in many ways, I felt ___30___he were.‎ It was about a year later I received a letter from his wife, and when I started to read it, my eyes were filled with tears. She told me how Frank's___31___ with the disease had finally come to an end, and he___32___shortly before Christmas.She wanted to thank me for the letters I had written to Frank, and then explained how Frank touched many lives over the years.At his ___33___, to show just that, they read the 1st letter I had written to Frank to show how he ___34___a 19-year- old person he had___35___even met.‎ I will never forget how much that meant to me.‎ ‎16.

It’s happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.‎ A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself , completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn’t my friend’s talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.‎ When we picked up the check, the waitress said , “ Your meal was already paid for .” My friend and I didn’t have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes . The waitress said ,”Yes , the gentleman in white paid for you .” It felt like an angel was saying “I see you ,honey. It’s going to be okay.”‎ Just last year, I was running a half-marathon. With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting the wall”. I thought I couldn’t move another inch. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me and said, “What’s your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on ! It’s just around the corner! You can do it!” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn’t even supposed to be in the race that day.‎ I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at ‎ my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these?‎ ‎38. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?‎ A. The kindness of strangers. B. Valuable friendship .‎ C. Two special experiences . D.

The underlined expression in the passage means “______”.‎ A. being hurt by the wall B. winning the game C. taking a deep breath D. running out of energy ‎【答案】38. A 39. D 40. D ‎【解析】试题分析：文章大意：作者通过她在饭店吃饭时的一次经历及跑马拉松的一次经历，告诉我们，陌生人对她的帮助和鼓励，能驱散她心中的阴霾，令她精神振奋。在她需要帮助的时候，陌生人对她伸出了援手，这令她感觉那些陌生人就是天使。‎ ‎38. 主旨大意题。文章的开头以两个问句来开启读者的思维，同时告知读者，她下文将要谈的内容，是她所经历的两件事，两件陌生人给她以帮助和鼓励的事例。这两个事例是作者用来佐证她两个问句中想要表达的内容的，即陌生人出乎意料地为你做了善事。由此可知答案选A。‎ ‎39. 细节理解题。第二段“I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship.”从broken heart 破碎的心；my last relationship可以猜到她的上一段感情结束了，她很伤心。‎ ‎40. 词义猜测题。从前面一句：I was out of gas.及后面一句：I thought I couldn’t move another inch.可以推知。作者当时是跑马拉松的，她说她out of gas应该是指她如同一辆汽车没油了，而后面一句说她一步也跑不动了，可以确认此处是说她没有精力再跑下去了。因此选D。‎ 考点：考查记叙类短文阅读。‎ C Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will ‎ almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.‎ The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.‎ Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.‎ But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.‎ There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.‎ ‎41. What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?‎ A. Using too much packaging. B. Recycling too many wastes.‎ C. Making more products than necessary. D. Having more material than is needed.‎ ‎42. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.‎ A. the tendency of cutting household waste B. the increase of packaging recycling C. the rapid growth of supermarkets D. the fact of packaging overuse ‎43. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?‎ A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.‎ B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.‎ C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.‎ D. Other products are better packaged than food.‎ ‎44. What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.‎ B. Needless material is mostly recycled.‎ C. People like collecting recyclable waste.‎ D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.‎ ‎【答案】41. D 42. D 43. C 44. A ‎【解析】试题分析: 文章讲述了人们对于过度包装的危害的认识及人们应有的积极态度，让大家认识到形势的严峻和要想改变状况是艰巨的 ‎41. D 考查词义猜测题。根据文中的We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place. 可知划线部分意义应为“过度消费”，故选D项。‎ ‎42. D 考查推理判断题。根据作者在文中使用的数字可知，作者使用数字的目的是为了让读者清楚地理解过度包装的现实问题，所以D项正确。‎ ‎43. C考查推理判断题。第四段讲述了人们对于包装不好的物品的固有认识，即：人们普遍认为包装不好的物品质量肯定差，所以C项应为正确答案 ‎44. A考查推理判断题。第四段讲述了人们对于包装不好的物品的固有认识，即：人们普遍认为包装不好的物品质量肯定差，所以C项应为正确答案 考点 ：社会现象类阅读。‎ D Changing technology stimulates (刺激) the brain and increases intelligence. But that may only be true if the technology challenges us. In a world run by intelligent machines, our lives could get a lot simpler. Would that make us less intelligent?‎ After the Industrial Revolution, machines began to replace manual workers. The process played out in agriculture as well as manufacturing so that groups of ‎ agricultural workers were replaced and forced to move to cities to make a living.‎ When machines took away much of the manual work, people became less physically active and gained weight. The sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle contributed to a worldwide spreading of overweight and related metabolic disorders such as heart disease, secondary diabetes and kidney disease .‎ As our bodies rested, our brains were forced to work harder, however. It is much more difficult to drive through an overcrowded modern city than it is to move around in a small rural village, for instance. Modern jobs are also more complex and urgent and they require more education because employees need to process new information quickly. Even during our leisure time, our brains work harder due to greater availability of books and explosion of audiovisual media, for entertainment, study, music, news, and so forth.‎ Now in the Internet age, the amount of information grows fast along with the advance of electronic technologies. The number of people with whom we interact electronically grows by leaps and bounds thanks to the ease of use of social media like Facebook and Twitter.‎ All of this extra work for our brains makes us more intelligent. That helps explain why human intelligence increases steadily from generation to generation in all developed countries, a phenomenon named the Flynn Effect. Of course, there are other reasons, including improved nutrition, better medical practices that reduce brain damage, and improved sanitation and public health that reduce diseases of childhood.‎ In the P.G Wodehouse novels, Bertie Wooster got away with being a fool because Jeeves was there to back him up with superior brain power. Similarly, people of the future are at risk of being less intelligent because machines will do their thinking for them.‎ Artificial intelligence is taking over many human jobs. For instance, planes are being flown much of the time by automatic pilots. Moreover, the complex problem of controlling air traffic around large modern airports is also achieved by artificial intelligence that operates well beyond the capability of mere human air traffic controllers.‎ Artificial intelligence exists in many fields of modern life for the simple reason that intelligent machines can already outperform humans, including some aptitudes (天资) which were once thought to be a human advantage, such as playing chess or recalling details in a game of Jeopardy.‎ Machine intelligence is increasing much faster than human intelligence. As machines get smarter, they will do more of our thinking for us and make life easier.‎ Instead of struggling to identify ourselves to some electronic system via passwords that are secure only if they are hard to remember, the system will work harder to identify us using biometrics (生物测定学) such as fingerprints or even the individual sound of our hearts. More technologies of the future may also be voice-activated so that we will talk with machines much as we would talk to a friend.‎ In the future, the electronic assistant will develop to the point where it serves similar functions as a real living chief male servant of a house, fulfilling requests such as: “Organize a dinner party for six on Thursday, Jeeves, and invite the usual guests .”‎ At that point, our long struggle with challenging technologies is at an end. Like Bertie Wooster, we can take it easy knowing that the hard work of planning and organizing is being done by a better brain—the electronic assistant. Starved of mental effort, our brains will return to an earlier or less advanced form.‎ The future is still in the fog.‎ ‎45. According to the author, the Industrial Revolution led to ________.‎ A. the development of education B. the spread of diseases in the world C. a lifestyle of being physically active D. people’s physical and mental problems ‎46. The Flynn Effect refers to the phenomenon that ________.‎ A. extra work can stimulate our brain B. humans are becoming smarter and smarter C. the change in human intelligence is steady D. people in developed countries have higher intelligence ‎47. The writer gave the example of Bertie Wooster to tell us ________.‎ A. the possibility of humans' becoming less intelligent B. the risk of machines ' destroying the world C. the end of challenges people face in life D. the powerful functions of technologies ‎48. Why is artificial intelligence popular in our life?‎ A. It can improve and update itself.‎ B. It can take advantage of humans.‎ C. It can do much better than humans.‎ D. It can deal with abstract information.‎ ‎49. We can infer from the passage that electronic systems ________.‎ A. will make trouble in our daily life B. will function as the master of humans C. will become more user-friendly in the future D. will be deserted because of their inconvenience ‎50. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?‎ A. The future is bright due to artificial intelligence.‎ B. Will machines replace manual workers?‎ C. Humans will develop electronic assistants.‎ D. Can artificial intelligence make us stupid?‎ ‎【答案】45. A 46. B 47. A 48. C 49. C 50. D ‎【解析】本文论述的是随着科学技术的发展，电子系统将会代替人的工作，那么人造智能是否会使人变愚蠢。‎ ‎45. A 推理判断题。根据第四段中As our bodies rested, our brains were forced to work harder, however. It is much more difficult to drive through an overcrowded modern city than it is to move around in a small rural village, for instance. Modern jobs are also more complex and urgent and they require more education because employees need to process new information quickly.可知工业革命之后，教育得到了发展。故选A。‎ ‎46. B 细节理解题。根据第六段All of this extra work for our brains makes us more intelligent. That helps explain why human intelligence increases steadily from generation to generation in all developed countries, a phenomenon named the Flynn Effect.可知人们变得越来越聪明。故选B。‎ ‎47. A 推理判断题。根据第七段In the P.G Wodehouse novels, Bertie Wooster got away with being a fool because Jeeves was there to back him up with superior brain power. Similarly, people of the future are at risk of being less intelligent because machines will do their thinking for them.可知举这个例子的意思是告诉我们机器毁灭世界的危险。故选A。‎ ‎48. C 细节理解题。根据第九段Artificial intelligence exists in many fields of modern life for the simple reason that intelligent machines can already outperform humans, including some aptitudes (天资) which were once thought to be a human advantage, such as playing chess or recalling details in a game of Jeopardy.可知artificial intelligence之所以受欢迎是因为它比人类做的更好。故选C。‎ ‎49. C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段In the future, the electronic assistant will develop to the point where it serves similar functions as a real living chief male servant of a house, fulfilling requests---，可知未来的电子系统将变得更便于用户使用。故选C。‎ ‎50. D 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句Would that make us less intelligent?和最后一段最后一句Starved of mental effort, our brains will return to an earlier or less advanced form.可知本文论述的是随着科学技术的发展，电子系统将会代替人的工作，那么人造智能是否会使人变愚蠢。可知D项，符合题意。‎ 第Ⅱ卷 (三部分 共35分)‎ 第四部分 填入所给词的正确形式 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)‎ ‎51. The water and soil conservation project resulted in farmers _________(replace) the crops on the farmland with trees and grass.‎ ‎52. Every evening after dinner, if not _________(absorb)in reading books, she can ‎ be found seated on the sofa watching TV.‎ ‎53. Taking everything into consideration, you will find that you’d better get well prepared ahead of time for the busy days __________(come).‎ ‎54. When __________ (praise)by the teachers, a student tends to study harder than usual.‎ ‎55. ____________(fight) against cancer for many years, Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, who died at the age of fifty-six, made technology fun.‎ ‎【答案】51. replacing ‎ ‎52. absorbed ‎ ‎53. to come ‎ ‎54. praised ‎ ‎55. Having fought ‎【解析】用所给词的正确形式填空。‎ ‎51. 句意：水土保护工程使农民们将耕地中的庄稼替换成树和草。replace的逻辑主语是farmers,主动关系，表伴随。故答案为replacing。‎ ‎52. If引导条件状语从句，如果主从主语一直，并从句中谓语动词有be动词时，可省略if从句中的be动词和主语。sb be absorbed in doing sth,某人全神贯注地做某事。可知答案为absorbed。‎ ‎53. 句意：将每一件事情都考虑进来，你将会发现你最好对即将到来的繁忙的日子做好充分的准备。在理解句意基础上可知即将到来的日子，用不定式表将来。to come不定式表将来。‎ ‎54. 考查分词做状语。praise 与a student为动宾关系所以用过去分词。 当老师表扬一名同学时这名同学往往比平时更加努力。可知答案为praised。‎ ‎55. 考查非谓语动词做状语。非谓语动词做状语，看它和句子主语之间的关系，并判断与谓语动词发生的先后。 Steve Jobs为句子的主语，与fight之间构成主动关系，从状语for many years可以得知fight发生在made之前，故用现在分词的完成式。可知答案为Having fought。‎ ‎【名师点睛】‎ 非谓语动词部分的知识点除了记忆一些特殊的用法外,还要注意非谓语动词与逻辑主语之间的主被动关系。比如：1. At one point I made up my mind to talk to Uncle Sam.Then I changed my mind，________(realize) that he could do nothing to help.答案realizing ‎2.改错Felt hungry, we built a fire by the lake and barbecued the fish.________。答案Felt→Feeling ‎3.________ (compare) with others in the world, he found himself a lucky one.‎ 答案Compared ‎4.The children went home from the grammar school, their lessons ________ (finish) for the day.答案finished 解析：由于动词finish与their lessons之间为动宾关系。又由于逗号前后的两部分之间没有连接词，故横线处不可能是谓语动词。此处是独立主格的一种用法，表示被动和完成。their lessons finished for the day合在一起作独立主格结构。‎ 第五部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)‎ 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。‎ Let’s face it: homework can be almost as frustrating for parents as it is for kids. Getting kids to do their homework can be a challenge, and when they do sit down to study, a variety of other problems can appear.‎ Doing homework may not be as fun as playing video games or chatting with friends, but it shouldn’t be something that kids hate. Your children’s assignments should not be busywork, but should help them build a skill or learn something new.‎ You can offer help by stepping in to answer questions or offer encouragement. This gives you a chance to see what they are learning and how well they understand the material. It helps you understand their learning style and shows you care about their education.‎ Many kids refuse to study by asking why they have to learn things they’ll never use in real life. If your son or daughter shows little interest in their assignments, you can make them seem more important by pointing out ways you use them in daily life.‎ Parents who feel that their kids have too much homework can talk about it with the teachers, but they’re in the minority. A 2007 survey showed that 15 percent of parents said their kids had too much homework. About 60 percent said the homework load was just right, and 25 percent thought their children had too little homework.‎ If you think it takes your child too long to finish homework, try to determine ‎ whether the problem lies in having too much work or managing time poorly. One of the things homework is supposed to do is to teach time management.‎ If your child feels bored while doing homework, consider the following suggestions to make study sessions more enjoyable.‎ Get help from friends: if your children are struggling with an assignment, let them call a friend for help or invite a friend over to work on it with them. You might also invite neighborhood kids over and let them do homework together. Have them sit around the dining table and help each other.‎ Add physical activities: set mini-goals for homework and allow time for stretching, jumping around, or a snack after each goal is completed. For a kid who can’t sit still, find active ways to study.‎ Turn the tables: let your children teach you a lesson. Let them give you a quiz on the things they have just learned.‎ Title: Help with your child’s homework The right goal of doing homework It is supposed to help your child ___56___a skill or learn new things Advantages of offering help ‎◆You can see how things are going with your child’s studies.‎ ‎◆You can see what your child’s learning style is like.‎ ‎◆You can show you are ___57___ in your child’s education.‎ ‎___58___ that you may face The child’s thinking that the assignments are ___59___‎ Tell them how you use the knowledge in real life.‎ Your thinking that your child has too much homework ‎___60___ the problem with the teachers.‎ Your thinking that the Find out whether there are ‎ ‎ assignments___61___your child too much time problems with your child’s time ___62___.‎ The child’s thinking doing homework is ___63___‎ ‎◆ ___64___to a friend for help.‎ ‎◆Set small goals for the assignments and allow the child to do physical ___65___during breaks.‎ ‎◆Let the child teach you something.‎ ‎【答案】56. build ‎ ‎57. interested ‎ ‎58.

Seemingly, it means a choice of concrete (具体的) things. But in fact, it means choosing a way of life. Life is to be lived and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about.‎ Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and death disease— SARS. Yet, even during those dreadful times, some suffering people remained optimistic. Instead of wearing white masks, some people turned to colorful ones, and thus displayed a happy mood. And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean “SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING.” People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships.‎ Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities (逆境), we do have the right to choose to live optimistically,‎ ‎ to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes.‎ Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day.‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ 用约30个单词写出上文的概要；‎ 用约120个词就“Our Life Rests on Our Choice” 谈谈你的看法和感受，内容包括：‎ ‎（1）简要叙述你对“Our Life Rests on Our Choice”的理解；‎ ‎（2）请举例说明你会选择怎样的人生态度；‎ ‎（3）简要叙述你这样选择的理由。（至少2点）‎ ‎【写作要求】 1. 阐述观点或提供论据时，不能直接引用原文语句；‎ ‎2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。‎ ‎【评分标准】 内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Our Life Rests on Our Choice Faced with disasters and adversities, some people choose to stay optimistic and determine to carry on regardless of the hardships. Life, to some extent, rests on ‎ our choice. ‎ Life is full of ups and downs. When the time comes for us to make choices, we should be aware of the importance of a positive attitude. A positive attitude somehow resembles the sail of a ship, which offers us the right direction.‎ As a teenager, it is of great significance to take a positive attitude towards life. To stay energetic, I will stick to an exercise schedule. I will also keep myself informed of the current events and communicate more with others, becoming socially connected. All these mentioned above will be beneficial for me to grow into an optimistic and confident young man. Only by doing so can I fit in society more easily and stay motivated towards a better life.
