55、不符合要求。故选B项。【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个从小在农场长大的女孩高中毕业后一边工作一边读完技校,还供家中弟妹完成学业;她成家后又重返校园攻读学位,不仅为自己的孩子树立了榜样,也成为家族的骄傲。4.C细节理解题。由第二段第三句可知,高中毕业后,詹尼弗到当地的技术学院上学,由于家里没有额外的钱供应她的大学教育,她边打工边上学。故选C项。5.A细节理解题。由第三段第三、四句可知,詹尼弗之所以选择这家医院的护理项目,是因为这里离家近,可以晚上回家照顾孩子们。故选A项。6.B细节理解题。由第四段第二句可知,詹尼弗为达到她受高等教育的目标,牺牲了许多晚上同孩子们在一起的时光,也错过了

56、很多重要的事件。故选B项。7.C推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段可知,詹尼弗成家后,重返校园攻读学位,不仅为自己的孩子树立了榜样,对家人也是一种鼓舞。由此推知,努力终将得到回报。故选C项。【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍Bissell先生重回乌兹别克斯坦,将旅途中所见所闻写成一本书,融入历史洞见和文化内涵,从西方人的角度全方位地再现乌兹别克斯坦的现状。8.B细节理解题。由第一段第三句可知,Bissell先生之所以回到乌兹别克斯坦,是因为他被这个国家深深吸引。故选B项。9.D代词指代题。由第一段末句以及第二段第一句可知,代词that指代上文中出现的Bissell回到乌兹别克斯坦,所写的

57、一篇关于咸海消失的文章。故选D项。10.B推理判断题。由第三段的描述可知,Bissell的乌兹别克斯坦之行充满了友善和温暖,也了解到了社会的阴暗面。在前往布哈拉的途中他曾被怀疑贩毒被警方拘捕。在费尔干纳,他参加了一个葬礼,后又参加了一场怪异的酒会。在卡拉卡尔帕克斯坦他又遭遇了沙尘暴、疾病及渔船被困等事情,所以说Bissell的乌兹别克斯坦之行有很多变故。故选B项。11.A写作意图题。作者开门见山,提到Bissell先生回到乌兹别克斯坦来写一篇关于咸海消失的文章。接下来介绍他此行远远超越了这一点,他出版了追寻大海:消失在中亚帝国的魂魄中一书,讲述了旅途中的种种经历。最后一段指出,Bissell以

58、高超的技艺将历史洞见和文化内涵融入他的故事中,从西方人的视角全方位地再现乌兹别克斯坦的现状。所以本文作者旨在推介一本书。故选A项。【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于就餐同伴会影响人们食物摄取量的研究,结果表明“我跟着她吃”的影响的确存在,但人们也会根据自身调整这种影响。12.D细节理解题。由文章第一段第一句可知,这项研究是关于就餐同伴会影响人们食物摄取量的。故选D项。13.D词义猜测题。由第一段第二句,现行研究表明你应该避免与点大份餐的胖人一同吃饭,但与此相反,这项研究结果显示,你真正应该回避的是大饭量的细高个儿。最后一段也有提示。故选D项。14.A推理判断题。由第三段可推知,研

59、究者们雇用一位演员,目的在于看他如何影响参与者的胃口。故选A项。15.C推理判断题。由最后一段描述可知,如果一位超重的人吃得多,“我”会减量,因为我能看到他饮食习惯的结果;但瘦人吃得多,“我”则会跟随。由此可推知,人们饭量的调整是基于对吃饭的人的看法。故选C项。第二节【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述成为有影响力的演说家的几种技巧。16.G此句为过渡句,承上启下,根据上文提到有些人天生就有在公众面前讲话的能力,联系下文的“你想成为一名出色的演讲者吗?”两句前后存在明显的转折关系。故选G项。17.A此句为过渡句,承上启下,根据上文提到“你站起来演讲时,聚焦于听众,而不是如何表达”以及后一

60、句“要聚焦于自己的表达。”由此可判断,横线处为明确表态,与前面所述相反。故选A项。18.C此句为总结句。本段提到,即使最成功的演说家都会犯错,人们的注意力会不断转移。大多数人只能理解演说者20%的信息。所以即使出了错也不要停下来,“你没有必要为犯小错而道歉”。a minor slip与前面a mistake同义。故选C项。19.B此句为过渡句。前面提到你的目标不是成为一名完美的演说家,后面一句讲“同生活中的其他事情一样,那需要大量的训练。”由此可知,“你想要成为一名有影响力的演说家”为最佳答案。故选B项。20.D此处考查主题句。根据后面的内容可知,人们很少希望演讲的内容冗长,尤其是“Alway

61、s make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.”一句是很好的概括。故选D项。第二部分语言运用第一节【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。在印度的一个小村庄里有一个男子几十年如一日地在村庄周边的荒岛上植树造林,最后把荒岛变成了多种动植物的家园。21.CMolai在印度一个小村落长大,小村落位于湿地附近,于是这些湿地就成了他的第二个家(home)。第二段中“.happening around his home”也是个提示。home“家;故乡”; dream“梦想”; job“工作”; choice“选择”。故选C项。22.A他从很

62、小就懂得自然(nature)的价值和美感。nature“自然”;youth“青春”; culture“文化”;knowledge“知识”。23.C 16岁时,Molai开始意识到他家周围发生的令人不安的(disturbing)事情。disturbing“令人不安的”; precious“珍贵的”;interesting“有趣的”;awkward“尴尬的”。24.D那年年初,一场洪水突袭了这一区域,洪水带来的危害(damage)驱赶了大量的鸟类。cause a damage“带来危害”。damage“危害”;waste“垃圾”;tension“紧张”;pain“疼痛”。25.A此外(Beside

63、s),蛇类数量也减少了。此处besides表递进关系。26.B他意识到(realized)这是由于缺乏足够的植被来保护它们。realize“意识到”; agree“同意”; remember“记得”;predict“预测”。27.B没有植被的保护,热浪(heat)袭来,蛇类减少。heat“热”; noise“噪音”;disease“疾病”;dust“尘土”。28.D解决的办法当然是植树来让动物们白天找到遮蔽(shelter)的地方。shelter“庇护,遮蔽”; direction“方向”;partner“同伴”;help“帮助”。29.C树木属于森林部门管理,所以他到森林(forest)部门

64、寻求帮助,然而被告知那里什么也不长。30.BMolai只能依靠自己,他发现了(discovered)附近的一个海岛,于是开始在海岛植树。discover“发现”; rebuild“重建”; leave“离开”;manage“想方设法做到”。31.C干旱季节给小树浇水(watering)对于一个男孩来说的确很艰难(tough)。32.Atough“艰难的”;illegal“不合法的”;fantastic“难以置信的”; beneficial“有益的”。33.B他在每棵小树顶端(top)搭建了一个竹台。34.D竹台上放置了带着小洞的陶罐来收集(collect)雨水。collect“收集”;cool

65、 down“冷却”; keep off“不接近”;purify“(使)净化”。35.D 此后的37年间,Molai一直继续植树。continue“继续”;return“回到”;learn“学习”;fail“失败,没有能够”。第二节【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍博物馆的由来、经营与生存之道。36.wealthy考查形容词。此处使用形容词修饰后面的名词people,意为“家庭富裕的人们”。37.or考查连词。or表示选择。句意:收藏家等到家中藏品足够丰富或者他们死后,会将藏品捐赠给博物馆。38.formed考查动词时态。根据句法分析,The 80,000 objects为句子的主语,再

66、根据后面的时间状语判断,应使用一般过去时态。句意:汉斯斯隆爵士所收藏的8万件藏品组成了大英博物馆的核心馆藏。39.which/that考查定语从句。关系代词that或which指代前面的名词the British Museum,并在定语从句中作主语。40.are called考查动词的时态和语态。此处叙述一般事实,主语核心名词The parts与后面动词call之间构成被动关系,故用被动语态。【技巧点拨】看主谓关系,定动词语态英语动词有两种语态:主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者,被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。因此,我们可以根据主语和动词之间的关系来判断谓语所使用的语态。如果

67、主语和动词之间是主谓关系,要用主动语态;如果是动宾关系,则要用被动语态。41.is考查动词形式。根据后一句“Most of it is stored away or used for research.”可知,此处用be动词的第三人称单数形式is。42.themselves考查代词。句意:来访者可以同电脑模拟互动,并想象他们自己生活在历史的不同时期由此判断使用反身代词。43.walking考查非谓语动词。由并列连词or判断,后面部分与living at a different time in history形式一致,故使用walking。44.accuracy考查名词。前面的Historica

68、l为形容词,后面应使用名词作主语。45.for考查介词。compete for.“为而竞争”。句意:博物馆必须与其他娱乐方式为人们的业余时间和金钱而竞争。第三部分写作第一节A Cross-Country Running RaceLast Sunday,our school held a 5-kilometres cross-country running race.All the students and teachers in our school attended the activity.The race started from the school gate and ended at

69、 the foot of the South Hill,covering five kilometres all together.All the contestants spared no efforts to finish the race.This race gives us a good opportunity to have a deeper understanding of great patience as well as building up our bodies in terms of long-distance race.More importantly,we come

70、to know it is our responsibility to challenge ourselves to all kinds of hardships.第二节When Mrs.Meredith heard of John􀆳s idea,she thought it was a good one,too.Very soon,the children were busy popping the corn,while their mother went out to buy the paper bags.When she came back,she brought Be

72、oner than expected,he returned with an empty basket.He had never earned so much money before in his life.For many weeks,the Meredith family continued to offer popcorn to Bernard.People began to watch for the “little popcorn boy”,and every week he had at least fifty cents,a significant income for him and his family,to take home.All of this was thanks to the good idea that John came up with.
