But

21、 Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.That was eleven years after two Germans developed the worlds first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a cars parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not tr

22、ue, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other peoples ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line. In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of g

23、aining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Fords most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Wintons and Fords.

24、 The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name a

25、ppeared in newspapers and he became wellknown all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.That_sale was the beginning of Henry Fords dream. Ford said, “I will build a motor car fo

26、r the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It w

27、ill be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.” The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of t

28、ransportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T were built in the first few years.8What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?AHe made good use of ideas from others.BHe produced the first car in the world.CHe knew how to improve auto par

29、ts.DHe invented the production line.9Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?ATo show off his driving skills.BTo draw public attention.CTo learn about new technology.DTo raise money for his new company.10“That sale” in Paragraph 4 refers to _.Athe selling of Ford cars at reduced pricesBthe

AProducing cars for average customers.BBuilding racing cars of simple design.CDesigning more car models.DStarting more companies.【语

31、篇解读】本文是记叙文。讲述了亨利福特充分利用别人的想法， 生产出了自己的汽车， 形成了自己的生产流水线。通过赛车比赛使公众关注到自己的汽车， 然后他建立了汽车公司， 为普通顾客生产汽车。8A细节理解题。根据短文第一段倒数第二句话 “What Henry Ford did was to use other peoples ideas and make them better.”可知， 福特所做的就是利用别人的想法， 然后更好地利用。9B推理判断题。根据短文第二段中的 “It was the best way of gaining public notice.”及全段可知， 开始时， 每个汽车制造

32、者都开赛车， 并且这是引人注意的最好方法。因此亨利福特也制造自己的赛车， 进行比赛， 目的是引人注意。10C词义猜测题。由上一句“In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.”可知， That sale指代的是医生买车这件事。11A推理判断题。由短文倒数第二段中的 “It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”及最后一段中的 “The Model T was a car of tha

33、t kind. It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers.”可知，福特造的车价格低， 能挣钱的人都能买得起他的车， 医生， 农民甚至罪犯都买他的车。由此可知他的梦想就是为普通老百姓造车。DOne summer day as I was heading to the teaching building I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw P

34、hilip, a counselor (顾问) at our admissions office (招生办公室), standing with another young man. Philip introduced me to him, Stephen, and reminded me that Stephen would be taking one of my classes. Stephen looked at me. With a somewhat painful expression, he asked if my class was going to be hard and if

35、he would be able to pass. I introduced all the things that he would be expected to learn. As we talked, I saw Stephens eyes getting big with fear.I told him to do all of his assignments, and to hand them in on time. Rather than being overwhelmed (压倒) by all of the work, I told him the most successfu

36、l students made a master calendar of all the assignments so they could plan their workload. As the fall semester went on, I learned more of Stephens story. It had taken him longer to finish the assignments than most young people. Family members, including his mother, kept reminding him that he was a

37、 failure. But he kept at it and didnt take them to heart. He told me that before coming to our college, no one believed he could manage it.Stephen didnt become an A student. Still, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignments on time and break

38、ing down his studying into bitesized parts.

42、断出Stephen不自信。13B推理判断题。根据第三段内容可判断出作者向Stephen介绍了如何提高学习成绩的方法。14A推理判断题。通过全文对Stephen的描述尤其是倒数第二段可知他是一位学习刻苦的， 成绩一般的学生。15B主旨大意题。根据Stephen成功的经验， 一是学习刻苦， 二是分解困难， 各个击破。四个选项相比， 只有B项(一次咬一口)较为恰当。第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分， 满分12.5分)阅读下面短文， 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Why is volunteering important?When it comes to ser

48、you to experience different environments and situations.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。详细介绍了做志愿工作的好处，建议人们多参加各种志愿工作。16B根据文章接下来的四部分 “Gaining new social experience, Giving back and helping others, Creating connections with people, Developing a sense of achievement”可知，都是做志愿工作的好处和意义。本句应该是一个承上启下的句子，表示志愿工作意义重大，B项“Voluntee

49、ring means a lot more.”符合上下文语境。17G根据前一句“Volunteering allows students to get involved with new things and develop social and academic skills that couldnt be learned in a classroom environment.”可知，志愿工作会让学生参与到新的事情中学到在教室里学不到的知识。也就是说志愿工作可以让你体验不同的环境。G项“Volunteering allows you to experience different envir

50、onments and situations.”与上下文语境一致。18E根据后一句“They always tell me how great we sound and how they wish they had taken time to learn an instrument in their youth.”意为“他们总是告诉我这是多么好听，他们多么希望在年轻的时候也能够花时间学习音乐。”可知Jill是为社区的老人做音乐方面的志愿工作。E项“She volunteers by performing in concerts for senior citizens.”与上下文语境一致。19D

51、本段的主题是“Creating connections with people(志愿工作可以帮助我们与他人建立联系)”。根据后两句告诉我们志愿工作可以帮助别人了解你，也能展示出你的好品质，让你有机会接触各行各业的人。本句应该是本段的中心句，强调与他人建立良好的关系的重要性。D项“Building relationships with people is very important.”符合语境。20C根据本段最后两句 “Volunteer work makes us feel good. It builds selfconfidence and lifts up the spirits.”可知

52、，志愿工作能够让我们自我感觉良好，增强自信心并振作起来，这些都有利于我们获得成就感。C项“Developing a sense of achievement”符合语境。第二部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文， 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。When I was eight years old, Mother told me to put my coat on because we were going to go someplace _21_.

53、 going to see someone important or _22_ I would at least get a new toy. I asked which one it would be that day, and she told me that I would be getting something _23_ than a toy.

59、含义。22A分析句子结构可知，连词or连接meant的两个宾语从句，空白后的句子成分齐全，应使用只起连接作用、无实义的that引导。23C从后句母亲的进一步解释来看，通往玩具世界的途径显然比一个玩具要好得多。24B从下文的情节来看，这里要用“end up”表示行程并未在某个玩具店结束，即母亲带作者去的目的地并非玩具店。25D与前面的两个否定句呼应，这里要用instead表示“反而，取而代之的是”。26B这里就表示母亲开车来到图书馆，pull配合车辆作宾语可表示“停车，驻车”。27D联系生活实际，母亲来到接待处，接待人员应该是在桌子的后面(或里面)。28A前句图书馆接待员向作者询问喜欢的书籍类型

60、，这里指作者害羞不敢回答。29D这里要用“in time”，表示接待员劝慰作者“适当的时候总会知道的”。30B这里指的是作者不记得在那一天选定的书是什么了， “what I checked”作宾语，“at that first day”是时间状语，符合文意。31A“the years that followed”意为“接下来的那些年”，表明作者从此喜欢上了阅读，符合文意。32B根据常理推断，作者的读书行为也应该是兴趣使然。故选B项。33B从冒号后列举出的三位作家可以推断，这里指的是文学经典。34D与前文指出的作者第一次来图书馆对应，这里表示作者从此进入了书本的海洋、知识的世界，这些以前都是从未

61、接触过的。35C与前文 “She said I would get access to a world of toys.”呼应，作者明白了母亲的话，也通过亲身体会对此表示了肯定。第二节(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。The question was once asked of a 36._(high) successful businessman, “How have you done so much in your lifetime？” He replied, “I had dreams. Then I went

62、 to bed 37._ thought about my dreams. In the night I dreamt about my dreams. And when I 38._(awake) in the morning, I saw the way to make my dreams come true.”“While other people were saying, You cant do that, and it is 39._(possible) Actually, I was well on my way to 40._(achieve) what I wanted. As

63、 Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President 41._ the US, said：We grow great by dreams.”All big men are 42._(dreamer) . Some of us let these dreams die, but 43._ nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad days 44._ they bring them to the sunshine and light which come always to those who sincerely hop

64、e that their dreams will come true. So please, dont let anyone steal your dreams, or try to tell you they 45._(be) too impossible. Sing your songs and dream your dreams; hope your hope and pray your prayer.【语篇解读】梦想有可能成就伟大。心中有梦想，一切皆有可能。36highly考查副词。high作副词指具体的高，此处应用指抽象的高的副词highly修饰其后的形容词successful。37

65、and考查连词。分析句子结构可知此处为顺承关系，故应用and连接两个并列的动词短语。38awoke考查动词时态。本段的谓语动词均使用了一般过去时，故此处需要用相对应的一般过去时。39impossible考查词性转化。此处是说你不能那样做，那是不可能的，故此处用impossible。40achieving考查动名词。on ones way to这一固定搭配中的to为介词，其后接动词ing形式作宾语。41of考查介词。此处表示就像美国第28届总统伍德罗威尔逊所说，“梦想成就伟大”。用介词of表示所属关系。42dreamers考查名词复数。主语men和谓语are均暗示出其表语为名词复数dreamer

66、s。43others考查代词。此处为固定结构someothers“一些人其他人”。44until/till考查从属连词。until/till引导时间状语从句。45are考查动词时态。本句表示客观事实，故此处应用一般现在时，they暗示出其谓语动词用are。第三部分写作(共两节， 满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假定你是李华， 作为交换生在一所英国学校交流学习。现在你即将回国， 要作为学生代表在欢送会上发言， 请按下列要点写一篇发言稿。内容包括：1表示感谢；2学习的收获和感受；3表达祝愿。注意：1词数80左右；2可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。_【答案】One possible version：D

It was a cold dark night. We had our meal and went to sleep. Somehow in the midnight I heard some strange

71、sounds outside the main door. I gathered courage and looked out through the window and I was really amused with what I saw outside.There was a small puppy lying on an old doormat which my mother had put outside the door. It was wet and trembling. At first it was difficult to see the little one. It w

72、as the yellow spots on its eyes that made me realize its presence.It was trying to get under the doormat to avoid the cold air outside and it had managed to get in as I could see only its head outside the doormat. Was it sick or injured?I felt pity for the poor soul. I went in and came out with an o

73、ld towel. I went near the innocent one and held it in my hand and wiped the puppy till he had become dry. I took him into my room and made a bed for him with a woolen blanket and a small pillow. He seemed very healthy and comfortable in his new bed as he went to sleep immediately.The next morning, e

74、veryone in the family came to know about the unusual guest. “Shall we keep him with us？” I questioned my mom.Like any other parents would, my parents first totally refused my idea but my sister and I convinced them to keep Spotty.Slowly Spotty got on with everyone and became one of the family member

76、then that I saw his hind leg was injured and was bleeding. I called out my mother and she quickly tied a bandage around his leg and gave him food to eat. I was very upset. But the next day, Spotty was up to his usual pranks though he limped a bit. After this incident my relation with Spotty became m

77、ore intense. I really admired him a lot for his courage.Almost a year later, one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly. We came out and saw that he was barking continuously heading somewhere. After some time Spotty became quiet. I patted him on his back and came inside. The next day morning,

78、 my heart skipped a beat when I didnt see Spotty. I searched for him in each and every corner but he was nowhere. And this time he had gone and would never come back. I cried and waited for him. We waited for one long week. But there were no signs of him. Then one day my Dad got transferred to Mumbai. We shifted back to Mumbai. What would have happened to Spotty? Would he have died? These were the only questions in my mind, but they all remained unanswered forever.
