if，
Although she is teased about fatness，she still has confidence in her performance of daily life.，此处由于主从句的主语一致，所以把从句的she is省略了。

故选A。

【备注】无
3．She _________ high and tries hard to make her dream come true.
A.achieves
B.reaches
C.misses
D.aims
【答案】D
【解析】考查动词辨析。

句意：她目标很高并努力使她的梦想成真。

achieve获得；reach到达；够到；miss错过；aim目的。

故选D。

【备注】无
4．______ any change about the date，please tell me immediately.
A.Will there be
B.Should there be
C.There will be
D.There should be
【答案】B
【解析】考查虚拟语气。

句意：如果日期改变了，及时告诉我。

条件状语从句使用虚拟语气，和将来相反用should do，可以省略if，should提前。

故选B。

【备注】无
5．—Where did you meet Alice？
—It was in the cinema _______ we used to go.
A.where
B.that
C.which
D.how
【答案】A
【解析】考查定语从句。

句意：—你在哪里见到爱丽丝的？—就是在我们常去的电影院。

使用定语从句，修饰the cinema，定语从句中不缺主宾表，缺少的是地点状语，用where引导定语从句。

看到这道题考生的第一个反应是强调句。

如果选项是B，虽然语法上说是对的，但是问和答则风牛马不相及。

其实完整的回答是It was in the cinema where we used to go that we met Alice.故选A。

【备注】无
6．---I ________ myself more---it was a perfect day.
---Me, too. It’s years ________ I enjoyed myself so much.
A.couldn’t have enjoyed; since
B.needn’t have enjoyed; since
C.wouldn’t have enjoyed; before
D.shouldn’t hav e enjoyed; before
【答案】A
【解析】考查情态动词的完成式和连词。

—句意：我实在是太开心了，真是完美的一天。

—我也是，我已经很多年没有这么开心了。

比较级与否定词连用表最高级，那么此处主要是看情态动词的选用了。

couldn’t have enjoyed不可能让自己更开心了（这是最开心的），比较级与否定词连用表最高级，needn’t have done 本不必做而做了（不符合句意）；wouldn’t have done本来不会做而做了（不符合句意）；shouldn’t have done本来不应该做而做了（不符合句意）；第二空填since，使用It is+一段时间+since+一般过去时。

故选A。

【备注】无
7．The nurse treated the naughty boy very kindly, but her patience ________ at last.
ed up
B.gave out
C.run out
D.was run out
【答案】B
【解析】考查动词短语。

句意：护士对这个淘气的男孩很好，但她的耐心最后耗尽了。

这几个词组都可以表示“耗尽”，use up是及物动词短语，不符合句子要求；run out和give out都是不及物动词短语，但是表示“耐心耗尽”，用give out；而且没有被动形式。

故选B。

【备注】无
8．---Do these paintings ________ you?
--- No, not really. They don’t ________ to me at all.
A.interest to you; make any sense
B.appeal for you; attract
C.appeal to; make sense
D.interest; attract
【答案】C
【解析】考查动词短语。

句意：—这些画吸引你吗？—不，不是这样。

它们对我根本没有意义。

第一空可以填appeal to“吸引”或者interest“使……感兴趣”。

排除AB；第二空填make sense 有意义。

attract是及物动词，后面没有to。

故选C。

【备注】无
9．Do you expect ________ to be a possibility that we shall be able to afford the special furniture that we need?
A.there
B.that
C.one
D.it
【答案】A
【解析】考查there be句型。

句意：你认为我们有可能买得起我们需要的特别的家具吗？expect 后面接sb to do，根据句意可知用there be句型。

故选A。

【备注】无
10．--- What will you do during the summer holiday?
---I don’t know, but it’s high time ________ someth ing.
A.I’m deciding
B.I’ll decide
C.I decide
D.I decided
【答案】D
【解析】考查虚拟语气。

句意：—这个暑假你要做什么？—我不知道，但是该是我做决定的时候了。

It's time (that) 后面的从句要用虚拟语气，表示“现在某人该做某事了”，time可由high，about修饰。

这里的虚拟语气有两种表达方式：1.从句中的谓语动词用动词的过去式(be 用were) ；2.从句中的谓语动词用should do，should不可以省略。

故选D。

【备注】无
11．________ bad-tempered at times, he is still respected by all the students.
A.In spite of
B.Even if
C.Not until
D.Despite
【答案】B
【解析】考查连词。

句意：即使有时候脾气坏，他还是受很多学生尊敬。

even if即使，后面省略了he is；not until直到......才；放在句首，后面的主句要倒装；in spite of和despite都是“尽管，虽然”，后面接名词。

故选B。

【备注】无
12．What she is addicted ________ her feel better temporarily and reduces the pain of separation.
A.to making
B.makes
C.to makes
D.to make
【答案】C
【解析】考查短语和主谓一致。

句意：她上瘾的东西使她暂时感觉好些并减少分离的痛苦。

what引导主语从句，谓语是be addicted to对……上瘾，what作主语从句的宾语，make是主句的谓语，因为主语是主语从句，谓语用单数，而且这句话使用一般现在时。

故选C。

【备注】无
13．---Does the young man standing there ________ the company?
--- No, the company is ________ his father.
A.in possession of; in the possession of
B.have possession of; in the possession of
C.take possession of; in possession of
D.have possession of; in possession of
【答案】B
【解析】考查短语。

句意：—站在那里的那个年轻人拥有这家公司吗？—不，这家公司为他父亲所拥有。

根据助动词does可知第一空使用动词短语have possession of拥有，第二空用in the possession of（某物）为某人所拥有，in possession of某人拥有某物。

故选B。

【备注】无
14．To tell you the truth, if it were not for the fact that you ________ my daughter, I would not take such pains to serve you.
A.were
B.have been
C.had been
D.are
【答案】D
【解析】考查时态。

句意：说实话，要不是因为你是我女儿这个事实，我不会不辞辛劳地服侍你。

本题很容易错选C项，错误的认为这是一个与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，使用过去完成时的形式，实际上本题是一个同位语从句that you are my daughter，对名词the fact进行解释说明。

名词the fact后面的句子是不要使用虚拟语气的，只需要使用陈述语气即可。

故D正确。

【备注】无
15．The judge permitted the couple ________ the boy who became an orphan after the earthquake.
A.adapting
B.to adapt
C.adjusting
D.to adopt
【答案】D

--- ________. It won’t be so bad.
A.Don’t be afraid
B.It doesn’t matter
C.Take it easy
D.You’ll not fail
【答案】C
【解析】考查交际用语。

句意：—我害怕考试不及格。

—放轻松。

不会很糟糕的。

Don’t be afraid 别害怕；It doesn’t m atter没关系；Take it easy放轻松；You’ll not fail你不会失败的（这是汉语的表达）。

故选C。

【备注】无
17．The great success of this project has been largely ________ the support given by the 30 local businesspersons.
A.instead of
B.thanks to
C.due to
D.as a consequence 【答案】C
【解析】考查介词短语。

句意：这个项目取得的巨大成功很大程度上是因为30个当地商人的支持。

instead of代替；thanks to由于，因为（用作状语）；due to由于，因为（用作表语）；as a consequence因此。

故选C。

【备注】无
18．________is our strong suggestion that he ________ a holiday, but ________ doesn’t help.
A.As; takes; which
B.As; should take; it
C.It; takes; which
D.It; take; it
【答案】D
【解析】考查代词和虚拟语气。

句意：我们强烈建议他度假，但是没有用。

第一空填it，作形式主语，that引导的是真正的主语从句，因为前面的动词是suggestion，主语从句中用虚拟语气，谓语用should do，should可以省略，第三空填it，指代上文内容。

故选D。

【备注】无
19．The fact that so many people still smoke in public places________ that we may need a nationwide campaign ________ awareness of the risks of smoking.
A.suggest; raise
B.suggests: raising
C.suggest; raised
D.suggests; to raise
【答案】D
【解析】考查主谓一致和非谓语动词。

句意：很多人仍然在公众场所抽烟的事实说明我们需要一次全国的运动来提高人民对于抽烟的危险的意识。

本句的主语是the fact。

同位语从句that so many people still smoke in public places解释the fact的内容。

故谓语动词与the fact保持一致，使用单数形式；第二空用不定式作目的状语。

故D正确。

【备注】无
20．The novel is so badly written that I can hardly ________what the writer is trying to say.
A.turn out
B.make out
C.let out
D.try out
【答案】B
【解析】考查动词短语辨析。

句意：这部小说写得太差以致于我很难弄明白这个作者想说什么。

turn out结果是；make out辨认，理解；let out发出，泄露；try out尝试。

故选B。

【备注】无

It is of great importance for students to be able to get a feel for the rhythm and sounds of a
poem---more so than for most pieces of prose (散文). This isn’t alw ays easy in a second language, and so listening to their teacher read the poem, or to a professional recording, perhaps by the poet or by an actor, is, I feel, necessary.
As with any listening activity, students will need some kind of preparation and task so that they can be actively engaged. They might be asked to check predictions that arose from a warm-up discussion, to compare their suggested rhyming couplets with the poet’s, or to identify stressed words and syllables.
You might also want to get your students to listen to recorded or live discussion s about poems. This can, for example, take the form of a couple of teachers or a group of students giving their views on a poem, or even an interview with the poet.
I’m a big fan of jigsaw listening because of the natural information gap. If your school has the facilities, you might like to:
divide your students into two, or even three groups
give each group a different cassette or CD and tasks to work on
then they come back together to share what they have learned.
Remember that your own enthusiasm is a key factor in any activity relating to literature in the classroom.
Finally, don’t forget to encourage art for art’s sake. Listening for pleasure, to poetry (or to anything else, for that matter), is to be fostered at every opportunity, because of the obvious benefits which include motivation, vocabulary acquisition and learner independence. Many good song lyrics (歌词) could be termed poetry and treated accordingly in the classroom, copyright rules permitting.
44．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.An English student will have difficulty understanding Li Bai’s poems.
B.An English student will have some difficulty understanding Walt Whitman.
C.A Chinese student will have some difficulty un derstanding Du Fu’s works.
D.An American student will have some difficulty understanding William Shakespeare. 45．What kind of preparations should the students do in the listening activity？
a. They’d better predict what the poem is about.
b. They’d better h ave a warm-up discussion.
c. They will share their own works with their classmates
d. They should know the stressed words.
e. They should make clear the stressed syllables.
f. They should first go to an actor.
A.abcf
B.abde
C.cdef
D.bcdf
46．Who do you think is this passage written for?
A.The students.
B.The poets.
C.The teachers.
D.The readers. 47．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.How to use poems to develop the students’ skills.
B.Listening to poem is more difficult than reading prose.
C.The schools should encourage the students to study poems.
D.Preparations should be done before teaching.

From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous age. We are immunized (免疫) from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and medical treatment. It is almost certain that one day cures will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable slaughter ( 屠杀) of men, women and children on the roads. Man vs the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel (方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They are il l-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and absolutely selfish. All their hidden disappointments and regrets seem to be brought by the act of driving.
The surprising thing is that society smiles so kindly on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost impossible to live in because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.
It is high time a world system of laws were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. As for driving, the laws of some countries are not strict and even the strictest are not strict enough. Here are a few examples of some the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can affect a person’s driving ability. Present d rinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be introduced on all roads.
Governments should lay down safety specifications (规范) for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately severe. But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars. 48．The main idea of this passage is _________.
A.traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists
B.thousands of people the world over are killed each year
C.the laws of some countries about driving are not too strict
D.only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents
49．What does the author think of society toward motorists?
A.Society laughs at the motorists.
B.Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns.
C.Victims of accidents are nothing.
D.Society forgives their rude driving.
50．Why d oes the author say: “his car becomes the extension of his personality?”
A.Driving can show his real self.
B.Driving can show the other part of his personality.
C.Driving can bring out his character.
D.His car can express his temper.
51．The attitude of the author is _________.
A.ironical
B.critical
C.appealing
D.favorable
【答案】
48．D
49．D
50．A
51．B
【解析】
48．主旨大意题。

根据全文和最后一段的总结语“Governments should lay down safety specifications (规范) for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA.”可知文章的主旨是：只有更严格的交通法规才能制止交通事故。

故选D。

49．细节理解题。

根据第三段的句子“The surprising thing is that society smiles so kindly on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior.”可知社会宽容这种野蛮开车行径。

故选D。

50．句意理解题。

根据第二段的句子“There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities.”（毫无疑问，汽车经常显现一个人最差的品质），所以上面的句子“his car becomes the extension of his personality.”（他的车就是他个性的外延）体现了“开车表现他真正的自我，真实的个性”。

故选A。

51．观点态度题。

文章第一、二、三段指出了造成交通事故的原因，呼吁各国制定严格的交通法规，批评现有的交通法规松弛不严格，最后指出世界是人类的，不是汽车的等等，都说明作者是批评的态度。

故选B。

【备注】本文为议论文。

文章论述人的平均寿命增加和交通事故率成正比，谈及事故率上升的原因，要求制定更严格的法规予以制止种种造成事故的不良行为。

Arthur Miller (1915-2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the
20th century. Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the "Great American Dream". However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.
Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence(坚持，强调) on money and social
status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is "burnt out" and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment(感伤): if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.
Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway. 52．Why did Arthur Miller's father move to the USA?
A.He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.
B.He was attracted by the "Great American Dream"
C.He hoped to make his son a dramatist.
D.His family business failed.
53．The play Death of a Salesman _________.
A.exposes the cruelty of the American business world
B.discusses the ways to get promoted in a company
C.talks about the business career of Arthur Miller
D.focuses on the skills in doing business
54．What can we learn about Willy Loman?
A.He treats his employer badly.
B.He runs the Wagner Company.
C.He is a victim of the American system.
D.He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.
55．What is the text mainly about?
A.Arthur Miller and his family.
B.The awards Arthur Miller won.
C.The hardship Arthur Miller experienced.
D.Arthur Miller and his best-known play.
【答案】
52．B
53．A
54．C
55．D
【解析】
52．细节理解题。

根据第一段的句子“Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the ‘Great American Dream’.”可知米勒的父亲已经从奥地利迁往美国，是和许多其他人一样受“伟大的美国梦”的驱使。

故填B。

58For example, people think it is unlucky to walk under ladders. 59This behavior is seen as an insult (侮辱) to the sun and a sign that everyone inside will have bad luck. When a black cat passes in front of you, it is also thought to mean that bad luck is coming.
60Well, three-leaf clovers (三叶草), horseshoes facing up and even rabbit feet are said to bring good luck. There is a rhyme to help you remember the last lucky item, a “penny”: “Find a penny, pick it up; All the day you’ll have good luck!”
A. What makes this day so terrifying?
B. Why are people in the West so superstitious?
C. So is there anything you can do to bring good luck in the West?
D. It is also believed that you should never open an umbrella indoors.
E. The number 13 is considered unlucky in many western countries.
F. There are some other animals that people think will bring bad luck.
G. In addition to the number 13, there are other superstitions in Western culture.

七、短文改错：共1题每题0分共0分
81．I was taking a train to London's Victoria Station. I had noticed that the carriage was noise and filled with people.
Before long, a train inspector comes to check our tickets. A passenger realized he couldn't find his ticket but became quite upset. Then everyone in the carriage began searching the ticket，which was eventually found under a seat several rows from his owner. The person who found a ticket smiled with pleasure at his success.
No one in the carriage had previous spoken to or even noticed the ticket-owner before. Yet they had so quickly offered the strangers their help. If we could show our concern to others on need，the world would be a better place to live in.

the world would be a better place to live in.
【解析】第一处：根据上下文可知这里叙述的是过去的事情，应该用一般过去时。

故去掉had。

第二处：我注意到车厢里是吵闹的，并且车厢里满人。

这里was是系动词，后应该用形容词noisy“吵闹的”。

故noise改成noisy。

第三处：不久火车检票员来检票。

因为根据上文第一句可知这里叙述的是那次坐火车的事情，所以谓语应该用一般过去时。

故comes改成came。

第四处：一个乘客意识到找不到他的票了，并且他很不安。

but表示前后是转折关系，and 表示前后是并列关系。

这里因为找不到票而心里感到不安，并不是转折关系，而是顺承并列关系。

故but改成and。

search sp search for sth
in。

注意：1.请勿提及与考生相关的真实信息。

2．可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。

3．词数不少于100；开头已给出，不计入总词数。
