—I’m tired of my job. There are endless problems to deal with.
A. Why bother
B. So what
C. What’s up
D. Why not
【答案】C
【解析】
试题分析：A. Why bother为什么费事？B. So what 那又怎样？C. What’s up怎么了，D. Why not为什么不？好啊，句意：--怎么了？你看起来很沮丧。

--我厌倦于我的工作了。

有无止境的问题要解决。

所以选C。

考点：考查交际用语
2.Most students study because it’s unavoidable. , there are students who actually enjoy it.
A. As a result
B. In addition
C. In conclusion
D. By contrast
【答案】D
【解析】

3.— Why are you so upset?
— I had my computer repaired yesterday, but it work again.
A. doesn’t
B. didn’t
C. won’t
D. wouldn’t
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。

句意：-你为什么这么沮丧？-我昨天去修了我的电脑，但是它又坏了。

根据上文的问句为一般现在时，可知描述的是目前的情况，故“电脑不工作”这件事也属于目前的情况，用一般现在时，且主语为第三人称单数，故助动词用does，选A。

4.People believe that the China Dream is not very difficult so long as the whole nation works hard for it.
A. realizing
B. to be realized
C. realized
D. to realize
【答案】D
【解析】
试题分析：考查非谓语动词。

句意：中国人相信只要全国人民一起努力中国梦不难实现。

类似于 be difficult to do 结构中，若主语与其后的不定式为动宾关系，那么该不定式习惯上要用主动形式表示被动意义。

如：She was difficult to understand at times. 有时候她很不容易理解。

能用于此结构的形容词主要有convenient, dangerous, difficult, easy, hard, impossible, interesting, nice, pleasant, safe, unpleasant 等。

这类结构的特点是句子主语必须其后不定式的逻辑宾语。

考点 : 考查非谓语动词
5.It is really cold and the ground is wet; it have rained last night.
A. might
B. must
C. can
D. should
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词辨析。

句意：天气很冷而且地面是湿的，昨晚一定下了雨。

根据上文the ground is wet可知“昨晚下了雨”是肯定的，故用must have done“必定做了……”表示对过去十分有把握的推测，故选B。

【点睛】must have done用法辨析
must have done：表示对过去的肯定的逻辑推测,推定某件事情、动作或状态可能在过去发
生过（存在过）。

He must have been a doctor, for he knows medicine so well.（他过去肯定是一位医生,他对医学如此了解。

）
Somebody must have stolen the ring.（肯定有人偷了这枚戒指.）[该句所推断的偷窃动作发生在过去.]
The temperature must have dropped to below zero last night ,because the water is frozen all over.（昨夜的温度肯定降到零度以下,因为水都冻住了.）
如果'must + have + 过去分词'句型与by now连用,还可以表示对现在完成的动作和状态的肯定推测,但实质上还是指所推测的过去的动作,例如：
They started early this morning; they must have arrived by now.（他们今晨很早就出发了,现在肯定已经到了.）
中国学生的常见病句是：They…; they certainly have arrived.病句的句义是“他们当然已经到达了.”（这不是对过去的肯定推测,而是断定动作已经完成.）
6.— Our team has just narrowly won the game. I feel so relieved now.
— !
A. Cheer up
B. You bet
C. What a pity
D. Well done
【答案】D
【解析】

句意：-我们队刚刚险胜。

我现在觉得轻松多了。

B. You bet肯定地；C. What a pity多可惜啊。

D. Well done做得好。

根据句意可知选D。

句意：许多天来，我一直在试着弄清楚是什么事使杰克这么生气。

A. carry out实行；B. figure out弄清楚；C. watch out小心；D. stand out突出。

句意：这学期我们学校为学生开设了很多选修课，每一门课都吸引了很多学生。

本句为定语从句修饰先行词courses，且先行词在从句中做主语，指物，故用关系代词which，故排除B、C选项；又因从句中谓语动词appeals为第三人称单数形式，故此处应为强调“每一门”，故选A。

D. Involving
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。

so……that……句型中的so 位于句首时，需用倒装，且根据下文从句谓语动词took可知应用一般过去时，故选C。

【点睛】so that与so…that的区别
so that 引导目的状语从句，意为“以便;为了”，相当于in order to/so as to.常放于句中，但是in order to常放于句首或句中，so as to常放于句末。

so…that…意为“如此……以至于……”，so是副词，常常用来修饰形容词和副词，that 引导结果状语从句，常和too…to…结构互换。

15.We more places of interest yesterday, but we lost our way in that small village.
A. would have visited
B. was visiting
C. would visit
D. had visited
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。

句意：昨天我们本可以参观更多的名胜古迹，但我们在那个小村庄迷路了。

根据下文we lost our way in that small village可知本空是对过去的一种推测，would have done“本来可以做某事（却没有）”表示与过去的事实相反。

故选A。

I took down the violin I made in the past two months, and walked towards the farmland outside. The violin shined in the sunlight, and I admitted, unwillingly, that it looked good. But I knew it was a mockery (笑柄) of my failure to find beauty.
“What makes a violin beautiful?”
I first asked this question as a three-year-old child and now again as a teenager. When I listened to a violin for the first time, I was so astonished by its beauty that I imagined a fairy living in the wooden frame. But fairies faded when I grew older. I wanted a reasonable answer to the question.
I referred to Professor Ruan, my violin teacher, who introduced the violin to me 14 years ago. This 85-year-old man rhapsodized about (热烈赞美)the legend of Antonio Stradivari. “His violins are the most beautiful works human has ever crafted.” “Make a violin with your own hands,” Professor Ruan suggested,“When you play it, you’ll know.”
However, when Professor Ruan introduced to me a violin workshop, what I saw was far from my expectation. In front of me was a fat worker, shirtless and
sunburned, soon to become my master. What shocked me most was that the “master” knew nearly nothing about music. His rough hands had been tending crops, not instruments, for most of his life.
Two months later, standing outside the workshop, I was disappointed. Yes, I just finished or copied a Stradivarius violin. But I didn't find beauty in it. Then I remembered Professor Ruan's words, “When you play it, you'll know.” So I closed my eyes, and focused on where my fingers and strings touched. Music flowed suddenly so beautifully that for a moment I doubted my own ears. Slowly I opened my eyes, and with surprise found the fairy of my childhood fantasy dancing to my music --- the two-year-old daughter of the master.
Professor Ruan was right. I didn’t find beauty until I played music with the violin, because beauty isn’t in the instrument itself. It’s just here, deep down,
in ourselves.

The best-known example of external( 外部的)influence causing language change
is the "Americanization"of world culture, which has caused English words to appear in city streets all over the world. The effect is most noticeable in pop music. Foreign groups often record in English, and the words are picked up and repeated
in the same language everywhere, even by children who otherwise have little or no command of the language. I once met a Brazilian child of about ten who could count ‘one, two, three’, but only by adding the words ‘o’clock, four o’clock rock ’at the end.
Some people are often strongly critical of the influence of English on their language --- especially when an English word replaces a traditional word. In 1977, France passed a law banning the use of English words in official situations if an equivalent( 意义相同的)French expression existed --- but the law seemed to be honored more in the breaking than in the observing. Some other countries have considered introducing a similar law despite the evidence that such laws have very little effect, and that the arrival of loan words( 外来词) can greatly enrich a language (as indeed in the case of English itself, which has a long history of welcoming foreign words).
However, not everyone is critical. In particular, commercial firms and advertisers are well aware of the potential selling power that the use of English vocabulary can bring. In Japan, English is even used in television commercials, despite the fact that the majority of viewers would not understand exactly what was being said: the excellence implied by the mere use of English is apparently
enough to command the strategy to the advertisers.
Most of the influence of English is upon the vocabulary of foreign languages, but surveys are slowly bringing to light several cases where word order or word structure has been affected. Sentences of the type “The book sells well”, using an active construction for a passive meaning, have begun to appear in Danish (Bogen soelger godt). Several languages keep the English plural ending when they make use of a loan word, and do not translate it into the native form, e.g. drinks. There are many other such cases.
46. Why could the Brazilian child speak ‘one, two, three’ in English?
A. Because he had seen these words everywhere in the street.
B. Because he had learnt how to tell the time in English.
C. Because he had made himself master of English.
D. Because he had heard these words in songs a lot.
47. What can we infer about the law passed in France in1977?
A. It was strict.
B. It was unfair.
C. It was often ignored.
D. It was strongly opposed.
48. Some Japanese commercials use English in the hope of .
A. following the American trend
B. becoming world-famous
C. enriching Japanese
D. increasing sales
49. The last paragraph is mainly developed by .
A. providing examples
B. making comparisons
C. explaining grammar rules
D. analyzing language change
50. What is the authors attitude towards language change?
A. Critical.
B. Objective.
C. Concerned.
D. Supportive.
【答案】46. D 47. C 48. D 49. A 50. B

Are we alone in the universe? A team of scientists announced on January 6, 2015 that they had identified eight planets beyond our solar system, three or four of which orbit in their stars’ “Goldilocks Zone” --- the region where temperatures are not too hot or too cold for water, which is a necessary ingredient for life as we know it, to exist liquid form.This may be good news for people hoping that Earth is not the only inhabited world in the universe.
The scientists, led by Dr. Guilermo Torres of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, made the discoveries using data collected by the planet-seeking Kepler telescope.。
