I saw 解析：本句中的 rarely 很少，是一个表示否定意义的词，放在句首的时候，后面的主句要使 用部分倒装。句意：听到这个消息爷爷很惊讶。我很少看见他如此安静。根据句意可知是在 这之前，我很少看见他如此安静，现在的情况已经使用了一般过去时，在这之前要使用过去 完成时。故 B 正确。 答案：B 25.

A. where B. which C. that D. when 解析：本题中的定语从句的先行词是 some great museums，后面定语从句 visitors can see fine works of impressionist painters.的主谓宾的句子结构很完整，所以使用关系副词来引导，因为 先行词是指地点的名词，所以使用 where。句义：巴黎有很多在里面游客可以看到有名的画 家的作品的博物馆。故 A 正确。 答案：A 第二节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，共 30 分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的 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 class and I visited Chris Care Center in Phoenix, Arizona to comfort the old people who needed a little cheering up during the holiday season.

When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you liked or didn't like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to express your own voice in your review. Grammar Hint for Reviews: When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense. Book Reviews Discuss an author's technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does the story flow? Is there a strong sense of character and place? Did you stay up until dawn to finish it? Is it good reading for teenagers? What influence did it have on you and why? If you've read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares. Movie Reviews Think of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together? Did some hold up while others didn't? If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original. Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so don't give away an exciting scene or the ending! College Reviews Begin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit. What academic, athletic and after-class programs are available? What are the students like? What makes the college different from others? Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending there. 56. When writing a review, you__________. A. cannot refer to any previous review B. must express your own views and opinions C. must provide some information about the author D. needn't give any examples to support your views 解析：细节题。根据文章第一段 3,4 行 Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible 可知当 我们在写评论的时候，要提供作者的背景知识。故 B 正确。 答案：B 57. Which aspects should be included in all three reviews? A. Strengths and weaknesses. B. Plot and character. C. Programs and scenes. D. Location and description. 解析：细节题。根据后三段中的 Discuss an author's technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot 和 Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses.和 Every school has strengths and weaknesses.可知这三种评论里都需要提及 strengths and weaknesses。故 A 正确。 答案：A 58. Where can you probably find the passage? A. In a personal diary. B. In an official report. C. In a tourist guidebook. D. In a popular magazine. 解析：推理题。本文主要说明的是如何写出很好的评论，所以不可能是个人日记和官方报告， 也不会是旅游指南。最可能的是与写作有关的杂志。故 D 项正确。 答案：D B My grandmother Adele loved culture and was generous with its gifts. When I was a child, she took me to museums, restaurants, dances. She showered me with gifts from her travels around the world. But I can only remember her giving me one book—a book that, to this day, I have not read. She presented me with her own favorite childhood book: Hans Brinker. My grandmother was happy to share this book with me. She even decorated the title page with her proud writing. I tried to read it. I adored reading, and would dive into a new pile of books from the library all at once. But something about Hans Brinker just wouldn't let me in. The story was set in Holland, a long time ago. It felt dull and unfamiliar—even though I was a fan of classics of other times and places. I simply read the first pages over and over. I could not progress. Standing on a bookshelf in our living room, the book was like something I avoided. It scolded me for not being interested, for not trying hard enough, for disappointing my grandmother. The book started to fit in, almost forgotten, until Adele asked. Had I read it? Did I like it? Always determined, she wanted to know the answer. I would make some kind of excuse, feel bad, and open it again, hoping for a new reaction. The book weighed on me. Years passed and finally Adele and I both accepted that I would never read Hans Brinker. Eventually I cleared the book from the shelf. The Hans Brinker experience led me to set a rule that I've lived by ever since: Do not ask about a book given as a gift. Don't ask, despite your desire to discuss it to grow closer. The desire for such connection is what gives book-giving with special meaning—and increases the owner's possibility to be a letdown. Guilt is basically the same as for all gifts, though. If the giver doesn't have the pleasure of seeing or hearing about the gift being enjoyed, and asks whether it is, then the owner—unless she can truthfully say “yes”—either has to admit to not liking the present, or else lie on the spot. Neither is pleasant. So, don't ask. 59. When the author was a kid, his grandmother__________. A. took him to travel around the world a lot B. loved to take him to museums and stores C. shared her childhood stories with him D. gave him many gifts 解析：推理题。根据文章 1,2 行 My grandmother Adele loved culture and was generous with its gifts. When I was a child, she took me to museums, restaurants, dances. She showered me with gifts from her travels around the world.可知我的奶奶对于礼物是很慷慨，可知她经常会给我一 些礼物。故 D 正确。 答案：D 60. What does the author think about the book his grandmother gave him? A. Boring. B. Interesting. C. Puzzling. D. Disappointing. 解析：推理题。根据文章第二段 2,3 行 But something about Hans Brinker just wouldn't let me in. The story was set in Holland, a long time ago. It felt dull and unfamiliar—even though I was a fan of classics of other times and places.可知我对这本根本不感兴趣，也没有读的愿望，是因为我 认为这本书很无聊。故 A 正确。 答案：A 61. The underlined sentence “The book weighed on me”in Paragraph 4 probably means __________. A. the book is too heavy for the author to carry B. the author feels stressful facing the book C. the book is full of powerful viewpoints D. the author keeps reading the book 解析：推理题。根据前面两句 Always determined, she wanted to know the answer. I would make some kind of excuse, feel bad, and open it again, hoping for a new reaction.可知当奶奶问我有没 有读过那本书的时候，我总是找各种各样的借口。可知当我面对着这本书的时候，总是感觉 很有压力，因为奶奶给我了，但是我却没有读。故 B 正确。 答案：B 62. The author learns from the Hans Brinker's experience that never__________. A. give others books as gifts B. lie to people who give you gifts C. get close to others through gifts D. talk about the books given as gifts 解析：细节题。根据第五段 2,3 行 The Hans Brinker experience led me to set a rule that I've lived by ever since: Do not ask about a book given as a gift. Don't ask, despite your desire to discuss it to grow closer.可知从这本书里我得出一个教训：永远不要谈论作为礼物送出去的书。因为你 不知道对方有没有读，如果对方没有阅读会很尴尬。故 D 正确。 答案：D C Google has kicked off Google Science Fair (GSF) 2014, its annual online competition for bright, creative and ambitious teenagers who want to change the world with science.

But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young child's schedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child's day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts(武术). Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of “enrichment,” three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. What happened to unstructured time? A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth however is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves. David Elkind, an expert on children, suggests that the 1960s gave birth to the belief that earlier is better. Parents hope that early music lessons, for example will build a child's confidence. The truth, however, is that any time children are asked to do too much, too soon, they are at greater risk for feelings of failure. A child's time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. Remember the lazy days of summer? Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it's time to come home for dinner. However, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle (空闲的) time now. Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 P.M., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. That's too much for a five-year old. Finances, of course, do limit some parents. But let's be honest with ourselves–our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child's. 67.The author holds that it's a challenge to plan a schedule for a child mainly because__________.

They are a flash mob. Who are they? Are they mobs (暴民)? 71 Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly separate. A flash mob is usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks. 72 At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some tasks such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive. Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper's Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003 at Macy's department store. More than one hundred people stepped onto the ninth floor carpet department of Macy's department store, gathering around an expensive carpet. Following this flash mob, about 200 people flooded the lounge of the Hyatt hotel and applauded for about fifteen seconds. 73 Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing, but it might also frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. 74 They also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product. 75 People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson's fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered outside the railway station in Liverpool. They were singing and dancing Michael's famous song “Beat It” together. And in another example, some people took part in a flash mob to tell more people not to use negative words. A. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory. B. Don't be confused by their name. C. People are attracted by the silly and harmless activities. D. The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. E. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change their gathering place. F. A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises. G.The messages may be forwarded to friends, who forward to more people. H. Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction. 解析： 71. 承接上下文，意为：他们是暴民吗？不要被名字所迷惑。事实上他们是一群这样的人： 突然出现在公共场合，在很短的时间内完成一系列不同寻常的事情然后迅速离开，故选 A。 72. 承接上下文，一般这种活动都是通过互联网或电子通讯组织好，一拨人提前告知另外一 拨人或朋友，在提前决定好的时间来到某个地方进行一番活动，故选 F。 73. 承接前文，有明显的时间顺序，前面提到 first，following this flash mob，所以这里是 A later mob...，故选 E。 74. 后面提到经济方面的帮助，该空是政治方面的作用，故选 G。 75. 中心句，“快闪”越来越流行，人们可以利用它做很多事情，故选 C。 答案：71.

Here is a piece of good news for you. There will be an exhibition of Zhang Daqian's paintings at the National Art Museum of China from May 10st to 25th.

Clearly, someone had left it there by accident. I picked it up and checked the contents. Inside it, I found some money and a card with a phone number. Believing that the owner would be worried, I immediately tried the number. A man answered it in an anxious voice. Hearing that I had his wallet, he sighed with relief and told me he would return right away. Ten minutes later, the man arrived. After confirming he was the owner, I handed the wallet back to him. With his thumb up, he expressed his gratitude to me repeatedly. Seeing the smile on his face, I felt happy that I was able to help.
