【详解】
考查名词性从句。

句意：对约翰来说，最大的惊喜是他被选为队长时。

这是个表语从句，从句中不缺少主谓宾成分，根据句意可知，此处缺少时间状语，需用when引导，故选A。

【点睛】
名词性从句有四种，除了要求考生注意这四种从句的判断，最关键的是要会正确的使用连接词，要知道每个连接词的基本用法，要会分析句子的成分，要弄清主从句所缺少的意思。

从句位于be动词后，是个表语从句，分析从句的句子成分可知，缺少状语，主从句又需要表达时间意思的词，因此可以判定使用连接词when。

I witnessed a street accident today, that happened as I was waiting for the green light. Without hesitate, a woman nearby tried to help victims. However, a nurse came and said,
“Excuse me, but I am a nurse and I can do it well than you. After all, I had taken a course in first aid. Stepping back, or I cannot work.” The women stepped aside and watched the procedure. Then she said, “If you need a doctor, and I’m just behind you.” The nurse turned and looked at the woman on surprise. Obviously, the nurse went red. Without saying any more, the doctor started to help. In my opinion, they were all responsible and great.
参考答案：
【详解】1.考查定语从句。

此处accident是先行词，指物，在后面的非限制性定语从句中做主语，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，故把that改成which。

2.考查名词。

Without hesitation毫不犹豫，故把hesitate改成hesitation。

3.考查冠词。

句意：毫不犹豫，附近的一位妇女帮助受难者。

此处表示在事故中的受害者，是特指，故在victims前加the。

4.考查比较级。

根据后面的than可知此处用副词的比较级，故把well改成better。

5.考查时态。

句意：毕竟我学过急救。

此处是直接引语，结合句意可知句子用现在完成时态，故把had改成have。

6.考查固定句式。

句意：向后退，否者我不能工作。

固定句式：祈使句+and/or+表示将来的陈述句。

故把Stepping改成Step。

7.考查名词的单复数。

根据前面的a woman可知要把women改成woman。

8.考查条件状语从句。

此处是if引导的条件状语从句，前面是主句，后面用从句，中间是逗号，不用并列连词，故把and去掉。

9.考查固定词组。

in surprise吃惊地，故把on改成in。

10.考查不定代词。

句意：依我看来，她们都有责任心、都伟大。

此处指的是a woman和a nurse，故把all改成both。

20. 仔细阅读下列句子，每个句子中均有一个错误，请找出并在横线上改正，请按下列情况改正：
此行多一词：把多余的词用斜线（ \ ）划掉，在该行右边的横线上写出该词，并也用线划掉。

三、阅读理解
21. 阅读下列短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Just before Mother’s Day I purchased the Flex Belt for my mother to help her lose some weight. I wasn’t sure if she was going to like the present but she seemed to love it. I saw the Flex Belt review on the Internet by chance and was very impressed with what I read. It seems that the Flex Belt is helping thousands of people achieve their weight loss goals.
I asked my mother a few questions about the Flex Belt such as whether this product was easy to use, whether she felt painful while using it and the most important question was whether she lost any weight. She told me that it was so easy to use, and that even a
child could operate it. She also said that in the first period of using this product she did feel that it was a little bit magical and she was pleased with the amount of weight she had lost.
Over the past few years it seems that my fitness routine(健身计划) has gone downhill(减少). I used to enjoy going to my local gym to do a bit weight lifting, or enjoy meeting up with friends once a week for a game of soccer. Recently I noticed that I became a bit “round”, so I have started to do some exercise by taking a thirty-to-forty-minute run every morning. I feel like the weight that I have put on especially around my midsection is slowly dropping off. Everyone knows the benefits of having a slim waist but it seems that we don’t actually do anything about trying to achieve this. There are a few reasons for this, such as lack of time, not being motivated(有积极性的) enough, or not having enough money to join a gym. So this is the reason I think the Flex Belt is great to own.
I am happy that my mum loves the present and because the product is working great for my mum, I’ve decide to get one for myself as well.
58. The most important question the author asked her mother was ____.
A. if she used the Flex Belt every day
B. whether the Flex Belt worked well
C. whether the Flex Belt was easy to operate
D. if she felt painful while using the Flex Belt
59. After the author’s mother had used the Flex Belt for some time she ____
A. was heartbroken
B. was bored
C. was very delighted
D. was disappointed
60. In the past few years the author ____.
A. hasn’t taken exercise as often as before
B. has been playing football once a week
C. has been to her local gym many times
D. has spent a great deal of time in running
参考答案：
BCA
22. Children are delight, they are our future. But sadly, hiring someone to take care of them when you’re going to work is getting more expensive by the year.
Earlier this month it was reported, that the cost of involving an infant or small kid at a childcare centre rose 3 percent in 2012, faster than the general cost of living. There are now large strips of the country where daycare (日托) for an infant costs more than 10% of the average married couples’ income.
This is not necessarily a new trend, but it is somewhat puzzling me. The price of professional childcare has been rising since the 1980s. Yet during that time, pay for professional childcare workers has stood still. Actually caregivers (护理员) earn less today than they did in 1990. Considering that labor costs are responsible for about 80% of a daycare center’s expenses, one would infer that stable wages means stable prices.
So who is to blame for higher child care costs?
Childcare is a carefully regulated industry. States lay down rules about how many children each employee is allowed to watch over, the space care centers need per child, and other details. And the stricter the regulations are, the higher the costs will be. In Massachusetts, where childcare centers must hire one teacher for every three infants, the price of care averaged more than $ 16,000 per year. In Mississippi, where centers must hire one teacher for every five infants, the price of care averaged less than $5,000.
Unfortunately I don’t have all the daycare center regulations, but I wouldn’t be surprised if as the rules have become more complicated, prices have risen. The tradeoff (交换) might be worth it in certain cases; after all, the health and safety of children should probably come before cheap service. But certainly, it doesn’t seem to be an accident that some of the cheapest
daycare available is in the least regulated South.
57. What problem do parents of small kids have to face?
A. The ever-rising child care prices.
B. The budgeting of family expenses.
C. The balance between work and family.
D. The selection of a good daycare center
58. What does the author feel puzzled about?
A. Why the prices of child care vary greatly from state to state.
B. Why increased child care prices have not led to better service.
C. Why childcare workers’ pay has not increased with the rising childcare costs
D. Why there is a severe shortage of childcare professionals in a number of states.
59. What prevents child care centers from saving money?
A. Steady increase in labor costs.
B. Strict government regulations.
C. Lack of support from the state.
D. High administrative expenses.
60. What is the author’s view on a daycare service?
A. Caregivers should receive regular professional training.
B. Less complicated rules about childcare might lower costs.
C. It is vital to strike a balance between quality and costs.
D. It is better for different States to learn from each other.
参考答案：
A C
B B
57．A 细节理解题。

根据第一段第一行“But sadly, hiring someone to take care of them when you’re going to work is getting more expensive by the year.”可知婴幼儿家长面临的问题是雇佣保育员的费用越来越高。

故答案为A。

58．C 细节理解题。

根据第三段第一行“This is not necessarily a new trend, but it is somewhat puzzling me. The price of professional childcare has been rising since the 1980s. Yet during that time, pay for professional childcare workers has stood still.”可知随着雇佣专业保育员的费用越来越高，可是专业保育工人的工资一直不动，这是让作者不解的地方。

故答案为C。

59．B 推理判断题。

根据第五段内容可知国家规定多少孩子由一个保育员看护，严格的规定使婴儿护理成本增加，而不能省下钱。

故答案为B。

60．B 推理判断题。

根据文中作者对保育员收入没有随之上涨的原因的分析和文章最后一段“But certainly, it doesn’t seem to be an accident that some of the cheapest daycare available
is in the least regulated South.”可知作者的观点是减少对保育工作复杂的规定就会降低保育成本，这也不一定不可行。

故答案为B。

【备注】这篇短文介绍雇佣儿童或婴儿保育员的成本越来越高，但是保育员的工资却没有提高，其原因应该是国家严格的规定多少孩子由一个保育员看护。
