A famous French humorist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in th

48、is country, you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?Taking all amateur(业余)and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there c

49、an be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game originated(起源于)in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or “association football”, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.The nex

50、t is rugby, which is called “football” in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it

51、has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread t

52、o practically every country in the world.Table tennis, or “ping-pong”, surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity. Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing an

53、d golf all attract a lot of people.28.

54、gby?A. They differ in the shape of the ball.B. They are played by different numbers of players.C. They both can be handled.D. They both can be kicked.30. The game that was never played in Britain until the late 19th century is_.A. basketballB. tennisC. rugbyD. football31. What would be the best titl

55、e for this passage?A. The Most Popular SportsB. The English SportsC. History of SportsD. Sports in Britain【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要说明了英国人热爱运动，似乎他们离开运动就无法生存。还介绍了英国人的足球，橄榄球，板球，网球及乒乓球运动。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一句“It seems that the Englishmen just cannot live without sports of some kind

56、.”可知，英国人离开运动之后似乎就无法生存。及此段第三句“Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls!”可知英国到处都可以看到在运动的人。因此说明了英国人都是运动爱好者。故选A项。【29题详解】细节理解题。由第三段对橄榄球的介绍“It is a kind of footba

57、ll played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked.”可知橄榄球是一个椭圆形的球，据常识知足球是圆形，因此A选项正确；橄榄球每队15人而不是11人，因此B选项正确；橄榄球既可手传又可脚传，而足球只可脚传，因此D选项正确。故选C项。【30题详解】细节理解题。由最后一段“Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain durin

58、g the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity.”（19世纪末，篮球和排球从美国传入英国，并越来越受欢迎。）因此直到19世纪英国人才开始打篮球。故选A项。【31题详解】主旨大意题。文章第一段说明了英国人热爱运动，似乎他们离开运动就无法生存。第二段开始直到最后一段介绍了英国人玩的体育运动，有足球，橄榄球，板球，网球及乒乓球运动。因此D项（在英国的体育运动）为最佳标题。故选D项。【点睛】主旨大意题解题技巧(1) 要在阅读原文基础上，仔细考虑选项是否与文章主题有密切联系；(2) 再看选项对文章的概括性或覆盖面如何；(3)

59、 要注意题目是否过大或者过小；(4) 要避免下列三种错误：概括不够(多表现为部分代整体，导致范围过小)、过度概括(多表现为扩大范围)、以事实、细节代替抽象概括的大意。如第4小题，要求选择最佳标题，A项（最流行的运动）作为标题概括不够，B项（英国体育）作为标题过度概括，C项（体育运动的历史）概括不够，除介绍历史之外，还有每项运动的流行程度。故选择D项为最佳标题。DIt has been discovered that after the age of sixteen, the number of our brain cells begins to decrease at a speed of s

60、everal million a year. They simply die off. In certain types of activity, the human brain is at its highest point in the early twenties, when it has collected enough information to be able to use the vast number of cells freely in the most effective way. Pure mathematics is one of the fields in whic

61、h this happens, and we know that Albert Einstein made all his world-shaking discoveries between the age of about 20 and 25, and spent the rest of his life tidying them up and arranging them.But in certain other types of activity (of which being an author is perhaps one), experience is more important

62、 than sharpness of brain, and there one usually finds that a person reaches his or her peak much later in life.Besides sharpness of brain and experience, here is another thing that is very important, and that is wisdom. One can have a very quick, inventive brain and plenty of experience, but if one

63、uses these foolishly, one harms both oneself and others. Wisdom does not always come with age there are plenty of foolish middle-aged people about but the average person tends to learn wisdom as he gets older, usually by making painful of embarrassing mistakes. Leaning to be wise is basically learni

64、ng what is not possible ； and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the trouble one has to go through to get there. Mostly, it is learning about human nature ； how real people behave and react, as against how one would like them to behave and react. One can read and hear lot of

65、idealistic stuff about how to make the world a better place, which would be found if it was based on an accurate observation of human nature, but which is basically a waste of time because it is not.32. According to the writer, the great discoveries made by Albert Einstein were mainly a result in .A

66、. years of hard workB. sharpness of the brainC. rich experienceD. his deep understanding of the nature33. Some people achieve success much later in life because .A. their work often requires much experienceB. they do not have a chance to show their talentsC. they have to learn lessons from failuresD

67、. they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work34. The importance of wisdom lies in the fact that .A. it helps to avoid various mistakesB. it contributes to ones creativityC. it encourages one to go forward in face of difficultyD. it provides the right direction of efforts35. The writer c

68、ame to believe that .A. it is always a waste of time to make plans about the futureB. it is human nature to make attempts on what looks impossibleC. one should always challenge the impossible to push the society forwardD. one has to use wisdom in deciding what is the best thing to do【答案】32. B 33. A

69、34. D 35. D【解析】本文为说明文。本篇文章主要说明了人类的大脑在20岁左右于巅峰，在以后的成就多数是因为需要丰富的经验。除了头脑敏锐和经验丰富外，智慧也非常重要，因为智慧为人们提供了正确的努力方向。人们要用智慧来决定做什么才是最好的。【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“It has been discovered that after the age of sixteen, the number of our brain cells begins to decrease at a speed of several million a year. They simply die of

70、f. In certain types of activity, the human brain is at its highest point in the early twenties, . and we know that Albert Einstein made all his world-shaking discoveries between the age of about 20 and 25, and spent the rest of his life tidying them up and arranging them.” 人们发现，16岁以后，我们的脑细胞数量开始以每年几百

71、万的速度减少。在某些类型的活动中，人类的大脑在20岁早期处于巅峰状态,. 我们知道阿尔伯特爱因斯坦在20到25岁之间做出了所有震惊世界的发现。用余生来整理和安排这些发现。根据对爱因斯坦所的发现可知，他的伟大的发现是在20-25岁之间，更是印证了人类大脑在20年代初达到了巅峰（the human brain is at its highest point），由此可推断出，本段主要研究人类大脑巅峰期（大脑的最敏锐）B项中的sharpness of the brain（大脑最敏锐）与（the human brain is at its highest point）是同义词的关系，故B。【33题详解】

72、推理判断题。根据第二段“But in certain other types of activity (of which being an author is perhaps one), experience is more important than sharpness of brain, and there one usually finds that a person reaches his or her peak much later in life.”但在某些其他类型的活动中(作家可能是其中一种)，经验比头脑的敏捷更重要，人们通常会发现一个人在他一生的晚期才达到顶峰。由此可推断出有

73、些人在晚年取得成功是因为他们的工作中往往需要很多经验。分析选项可知A符合题意，故选A。【34题详解】推理判断题。第三段“Besides sharpness of brain and experience, here is another thing that is very important, and that is wisdom. Leaning to be wise is basically learning what is not possible； and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the t

74、rouble one has to go through to get there. Mostly, it is learning about human nature；how real people behave and react, as against how one would like them to behave and react.”除了敏锐的头脑和丰富的经验外，还有一件事是非常重要的，那就是智慧。学习成为智者，要基本的了解什么是不可能的；学习有可能但又很困难的东西，以至于不值得一个人为了达到目的而付出所有的努力。最重要的是了解人性，了解真实的人是如何行为和反应的，以及人们希望他

75、们如何行为和反应的。由此可推断出智慧的重要性在于智慧能让人知道什么可做，什么不能做，即为人提供正确的努力方向。分析选项可知D项符合题意，故选D。【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Leaning to be wise is basically learning what is not possible；and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the trouble one has to go through to get there. Mostly, it is learning about human

76、nature；how real people behave and react, as against how one would like them to behave and react. One can read and hear lot of idealistic stuff about how to make the world a better place, which would be found if it was based on an accurate observation of human nature,”成为智者，要大体上知道什么是不可能的。学习有可能但又如此困难的东

77、西，以至于不值得一个人为了达到目的而付出所有的努力。最重要的是学习人性，了解真实的人是如何行为和反应的，以及人们希望他们如何行为和反应的。人们可以读到和听到很多关于如何使世界变得更美好的理想主义的东西.由此可推断出聪明的人必须运用智慧来决定最好要做什么事。分析选项可知D项符合题意，故选D。第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Did you make financial decisions last New Years Eve?

105、二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Charlie Chaplin, born in a poor family, showed an_61_(astonish)talent_62_a performer as soon as he could walk.

107、trousers, worn-out shoes_69_a small round black hat, was one of the most outstanding_70_(part) he had ever played.【答案】61. astonishing 62. as 63. leaving 64. worse 65. bored 66. a 67. which 68. with 69. and 70. parts【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了喜剧大师卓别林的生平信息及表演经历。他出生在贫困家庭，年幼丧父。十几岁就开始扮演傻子，后来他自导自演一系列喜剧，给人们带来许

108、多欢笑。【61题详解】考查形容词。句意：卓别林出生在一个贫穷的家庭，他刚会走路就表现出惊人的表演才能。由现在分词转换的形容词astonishing意为“令人惊讶的”，通常修饰事物。本句中使用astonishing作定语修饰名词talent。故填astonishing。【62题详解】考查介词。as作为介词时意为“作为，以.的身份”，由下文“In his teens, he could act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks”可知十几岁时就出演傻子，由此推理出所填空意为刚能走路时就有作为表演者的天赋，故填as。【63题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：不幸的

109、是，他的父亲早逝，使他的家庭更加贫困。句子的谓语动词是“died”，因此“leave”在句中是非谓语动词，它与句子主语“his father”为主动关系，应使用现在分词作结果状语，故填leaving。【64题详解】考查形容词。形容词badly off意为“贫穷的；境况不好的”，横线前副词even说明应该使用badly的比较级形式worse，说明他父亲去世前后家境情况的对比。故填worse。【65题详解】考查形容词。过去分词转换的形容词bored意为“感到厌倦的”，通常修饰人或与人有关的事物。本句中形容词bored作表语修饰主语no one。be bored doing sth.意为“因做某事感

110、到无聊”。故填bored。【66题详解】考查固定搭配。句意：后来，查理导演、制作并主演了一系列有趣的电影，让人们在感到沮丧的时候开怀大笑，这样他们就能对自己的生活感到更加满足。 a series of意为“一系列的”，是固定短语，故填a。【67题详解】考查定语从句的关系词。根据句子结构可知，此处考查非限制性定语从句，其中的先行词为funny movies，关系代词作定语从句中的主语。故填which。【68题详解】考查固定搭配。feel content with意为“满足于”，是固定短语，故填with。69题详解】考查连词。所填空前后的a moustache, large trousers, w

111、orn-out shoes和a small round black hat为并列结构，故填and。【70题详解】考查名词。“one of +the +形容词最高级+名词复数”是英语中最高级的固定搭配，表示“是中最之一”。故填parts。【点睛】非谓语动词，又叫非限定动词，非谓语动词是指在句子中不是谓语的动词，主要包括不定式、动名词和分词（现在分词和过去分词），即动词的非谓语形式。判断题中非谓语动词与逻辑主语之间是什么关系，如第3小题中是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词，动词-ing形式。第四部分 写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节 短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)71.假定英语课上老

112、师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。It was my 17th birthday and I was looking forward to see my friends.

113、g for him. We would have the special birthday dinner. I looked for a familiar face but failed. Soon the restaurant was filled customers, none of which were my friends. An hour later, I went back home, lonely and disappointing. To my great surprise, I found the door was wide open while I arrived home

114、. Nervously, I walk into the dark room. Suddenly, all the light went on and my friends were appeared shouting surprise”. I had an unforgettable birthday.【答案】【解析】【分析】这篇文章主要讲了作者十七岁生日时，作者的朋友给作者举办的一个特殊的生日宴会。【详解】第一处：考查固定用法。look forward to期盼，后面要接动词的ing形式，所以see改成seeing。第二处：考查代词。指代前面的“我的朋友们”，所以him改成them。第三处

115、：考查冠词。我们将有一个特殊的生日宴会。泛指“一个特殊的生日宴会”，且special的首字母发音是辅音，所以the改成a。第四处：考查固定用法。be filled with是固定用法，意思是满是，充满，所以filled后面加with。第五处：考查定语从句。这个句子含有一个非限制性定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，指人，所以which改成whom。第六处：考查v+ed形式。v+ed修饰人，v+ing修饰物，这里描述作者的感受，所以disappointing改成disappointed。第七处：考查连词。when表示“当的时候”。从句中既可用延续性动词，又可用非延续性动词，这些动词既可以表示动作，又

116、可表示状态，常跟一般过去时。while表示“在的时候”“在期间”。while从句中必须是表示动作或状态的延续性动词，常跟过去进行时，所以while改成when。第八处：考查时态。表示发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以walk改成walked。第九处：考查名词单复数。突然，所有的灯都开了。“所有的灯”是复数意义，所以light改成lights。第十处：考查语态。my friends与 appeared之间是主动关系，所以用主动语态，删去were。【点睛】在短文改错中常出现的错误主要有以下几类： 1. 名词单复数用错，可数与不可数名词的混用。2. 动词：时态和语态，常出现在总体时态为过去或现在时

117、，中间杂有不适的另一时态的现象；或是及物动词后无宾语，或是不及物动词后加了宾语；需要接ing形式的接了to，或相反等。例如小题8，全文都使用的一般过去时，所以walk改成walked。3. 形容词副词：常出现需形容词的地方用了副词或相反；关系副词where， when， why等的缺失或错用。4. 介词：主要是介词的多余或缺失，错用。5. 主谓一致性：第三人称单数漏掉s，或主语为复数，谓语动词用了单数；再就是就近原则对主语的影响。 6. 冠词：定冠词the的多余或缺失，如季节，月份，星期，球类及三餐活动，称呼头衔前等不能加the的地方加了the。7. 数词：主要是序数词与基数词的混用和错用。

118、8. 连词：不合句中的逻辑关系。如需转折连词（如but）的时候用了承接连词（so），或相反等等。 9. 代词：主要是代词的格与数的错用。如男性用了女性代词，单数用了复数代词或相反；应当用形容词性的物主代词用了宾格，主格或相反，关系代词的错用或缺失。10. 常用固定短语或固定用法及句型用错。第二节 书面表达(满分25分)72.假设你是李华，你的英国朋友罗伯特(Robert)准备来中国学习，因此想了解一些中国的肢体语言，请你用英语给他写一份邮件，介绍一些日常的肢体语言。注意:词数100左右。_【答案】Dear Robert,In China, we wave our hands to say “h
