试题含解析
一、选择题
1. —Did you have any trouble with the customs officer?
—________ to speak of.
A. No
B. Nothing
C. None
D. Neither
参考答案：
C
解析：none＝no＋前述名词，此处用none代指no trouble，to speak of为固定短语，表示“值得一提的”，用于否定句。

2. Only with the greatest of luck ______ to escape from the rising flood waters.
A. managed she
B. she managed
C. did she manage
D. she did manage
参考答案：
C
3. Recently a survey _______ prices of the same goods in two different supermarkets has caused heated debate among citizens.
A. compared
B. comparing
C. compares
D. being compared
参考答案：
B
考查非谓语动词。

分析句子结构可知，该句的主语是a survey，谓语动词是has caused，宾语是heated debate。

可见，句子结构是完整的，因此我们要选择的只能是非谓语动词形式。

survey与compare之间存在主动关系，因此用现在分词短语作后置定语。

参考答案：
A
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。

句意：暂时的失败不可怕。

我们必须记住，从长远来看，我们所付出的努力是会得到回报的。

A. pay off 付清，取得好的结果；B. take off 脱掉；C. break off 中断；D. kick off 踢开。

根据句意可知，此处需要表达付出会得到回报的，故选A。

【点睛】动词短语辨析是单项选择题常考的内容，要求考生在平时记忆短语时不仅要只记忆该词，还要多总结归纳同类短语的准确用法，做这类题一方面要有一定量的词汇积累，另一方面需要正确理解题意，二者结合才能选出正确选项。

本题给出了四个off与动词搭配的词组，虽然都是与同一介词搭配，但意义却完全不同，若没有平时的积累，得分的几率就会大打折扣。

二、书面表达
19. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

续写的词数应为150左右。

It was Susan’s 12th birthday. She had been expecting to receive a yo-yo (悠悠球) from her parents as her birthday gift for several months. However, she received a purple dress instead, which made her really disappointed.
“I only want a yo-yo as my birthday present. I don’t want the dress and I hate purple.” Susan shouted at her mother when she saw the dress. “Even a five-year-old child has a yo-yo.
D o you know why others don’t want to be my friends? It is all because I don’t have a yo-yo. It is so boring to live in this house,” Susan said angrily.
Her mother ignored her complaints and changed the topic, saying, “Uncle Brown, Uncle Smith, Aunt Aniston and their children are coming for dinner tonight. So, you can play with your cousins.” “But, I don’t think there is anything interesting to play in the house.” Susan complained again.
The guests arrived at 6:00 pm. Susan guided the four children who came with the adults to her room. “Do you have any interesting toys? Susan...” asked Jim, one of the children. Susan felt that Jim was asking for a yo-yo. She felt embarrassed and brought out her Snakes and Ladders
(蛇梯棋). All the children played the game together. Everyone enjoyed playing the game except Susan. After a little while, her cousin Sara asked, “Susan, can we go downstairs to the basement?” Susan said, “No, there is nothing interesting to play in it. Ignoring Susan’s words, the children raced to the basement excitedly. They found there were some empty cartons, ropes, old broken toys…” Upon seeing this, Sara came up with an idea- the memory game. She arranged a few things on the floor and closed her eyes. Then Jim took away an object randomly and Sara should guess what the missing object was.
Paragraph 1:
When Susan arrived there later, she looked at the children in surprise.
______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
That night after the guests left, Susan sat alone in her room.
______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________
参考答案：
When Susan arrived there later, she looked at the children in surprise. They were playing with what Susan considered boring happily. Seeing this, Susan understood that although there was no yo-yo, they could also enjoy themselves. Jim asked her to join them playing together instantly he saw Susan. It was at that moment that Susan realized she had focused too much on what she didn’t have but ignored what s he had.
That night after the guests left, Susan sat alone in her room. On her bed was the purple dress given to her as a birthday gift. She thought to herself, “It seems that the dress doesn’t look that bad. Actually, I like all the clothes Mom bought for me.” She was sorry for having shouted at her mother. So she ran to Moms room and said, “Sorry, Mom. I should be satisfied with what I own.” Hearing the words, her mother hugged her in arms tightly, happy and touched about Susan’s change.
【分析】
本篇书面表达是读后续写。

通过阅读所给文章可知，Susan想要得到一个悠悠球作为生日
礼物，但是她的妈妈却给她买了一条紫色的连衣裙，因此Susan很不高兴。

她觉得没有悠悠球，就没有什么有趣的东西玩了。

当客人们来了，Susan拿出蛇梯棋招待小朋友们，小朋友们也玩得很高兴。

后来他们到Susan家的地下室去。

地下室放了很多Susan的旧玩具。

他们玩起了记忆游戏。

【详解】续写部分分为两段，第1段开头是：苏珊后来到那里时，惊奇地看着孩子们。

接下来应该写她看到孩子们没有悠悠球也玩得很高兴。

于是Susan和他们一起玩，过了一个愉快的生日。

苏珊意识到自己没有珍惜现在所拥有的东西，而是把太多的注意力集中在她没有的东西上。

第2段开头是：那天晚上，客人们离开后，苏珊独自坐在她的房间里。

下面应该写她看到妈妈送给她的紫色连衣裙，觉得很漂亮。

想起自己对妈妈的态度，感到很后悔。

于是她为自己的行为向妈妈道歉。

续写时要注意先读懂原文的故事，理解原文故事中的隐含意义，这样在续写时才能保持原文的主题和写作风格。

【点睛】本文描写详略得当，重点突出，同时表达时也使用了很多高级词汇，如arrive；look at ；in surprise；play with ；boring；enjoy oneself；at that moment；
realize ；focus on ；ignore；a birthday gift；think to oneself；shout at；be satisfied with；hug；touched 等；还运用了复杂的句式，提升文章的表达层次，如现在分词作状语的运用Seeing this, Susan understood…；instantly引导时间状语的运用Jim asked her to join them playing together instantly he saw Susan；强调句型的运用It was at that moment that Susan realized she had focused too much on what she didn’t have but ignored what she had；倒装句式的运用On her bed was the purple dress given to her as a birthday gift等。

三、阅读理解
20. Occasional self-medication has always been part of normal living. The making and selling of drugs have a long history and are closely linked, like medical practice itself, with the belief in magic. Only during the last hundred years or so has the development of scientific techniques made it possible for some of the causes of symptoms to be understood, so that more accurate diagnosis has become possible. The doctor is now able to follow up the correct diagnosis(诊断)of many illnesses with specific treatment of their causes. In many other illnesses, of which the causes remain unknown, it is still limited, like the unqualified prescriber (出具处方者), to the treatment of symptoms. The doctor is trained to decide when to treat symptoms only
and when to attack the cause: this is the essential difference between medical prescribing and self-medication.
The advance of technology has brought about much progress in some fields of medicine, including the development of scientific drug therapy. In many countries public health organization is improving and people's nutritional standards have risen. Parallel with such beneficial trends have two harmful effects. One is the use of high-pressure advertising by the pharmaceutical（制药）industry, which has tended to influence both patients and doctors and has led to the overuse of drugs generally. The other is the emergence of the sedentary (需要久坐的) society with its faulty ways of life: lack of exercise, over-eating, unsuitable eating, not enough sleep, too much smoking and drinking. People with disorders arising from faulty habits such as these, as well as from unhappy human relationships, often resort to self-medication and so add the taking of pharmaceuticals to the list. Advertisers go to great lengths to catch this market.
Clever advertising, aimed at chronic (慢性的) sufferers who will try anything because doctors have not been able to cure them, can induce such faith in a preparation, particularly if steeply priced, that it will produce—by suggestion—a very real effect in some people. Advertisements are also aimed at people suffering from mild complaints such as simple colds and coughs, which clear up by themselves within a short time.
These are the main reasons why laxatives, indigestion remedies, painkillers, tonics, vitamin and iron tablets and many other preparations are found in quantity in many households. It is doubtful whether taking these things ever improves a person's health; it may even make it worse. Worse because the preparation may contain unsuitable ingredients; worse because the taker may become dependent on them; worse because they might be taken in excess; worse because they may cause poisoning, and worse of all because symptoms of some serious underlying cause may be masked and therefore medical help may not be sought.
63. The first paragraph is intended to ________.
A. suggest that self-medication has a long history
B. define what diagnosis means exactly
C. praise doctors for their expertise
D. tell the symptoms from the causes
64. Advertisements are aimed at people suffering from mild complaints because ________.
A. they often watch ads on TV
B. they are more likely to buy the drugs advertised
C. they generally lead a sedentary life
D. they don't take to sports and easily catch colds
65. Paragraphs 2 and 3 explain ________.
A. those good things are not without side effects
B. why clever advertising is so powerful
C. why in modern times self-medication is still practised
D. why people develop faulty ways of life
66. The best title for the passage would be ________.
A. Medical Practice
B. Clever Advertising
C. Self-Medication
D. Self-Treatment
参考答案：
63-66. ABCC
21. It’s high time someone spoke up for today’s college students. They’re probably the most hardworking, ambitious people in America and their problems are not properly appreciated.
People like the Secretary of Education simply don’t know what they’re talking about when they knock students. Nor do those who complain about falling academic standards.
The vast majority of the nation’s 12 million students are struggling to pay for their educations. They are part of the invisible workforce. Many hold down full-time jobs. They’re frying hamburgers, photographing weddings, working in construction, and waiting on tables. The fact that they even show up for classes is a wonderful event.
The financial situation of most students explains a lot about what is happening in schools. Why are the traditional courses so unpopular? Why are students flocking to accounting and computer science and any professional programs that seem to lead to careers?
Answer: Today’s working student has been forced into a kind of premature matter-of-fact way of viewing things. Romance is gone. The notion of transforming one’s self through study alone has disappeared. Today’s students seek freedom from manual labor, and the status conferred by a good job.
There are other consequences. Today’s students don’t have much time or energy to be devoted, and carry out independent research or even do serious homework. That’s the secret behind falling academic standards. Students have become consumers. They want grades and
certifications. Their professors can’t be expected to give a grade of failure to students who are clearly tired from the effort to pay their bills.
There’s a lot wrong with this situation. It’s twisti ng the definition of education out of shape. Worse, it’s creating a generation that is totally unpleasant. The brightest students turn out to be yuppies (雅皮士). The vast majority are, at least, good-natured semi-literates.
The time has run out for philosophical debates about fixed courses of study. What this country needs is someone to stand up and say that being a full-time student during one’s formative years is an honorable calling worthy of support. If families can’t or won’t give it to their children, then the government should.
33.The author’s purpose in writing this article is to __________.
A. awaken the whole society to the problems today’s college students face
B. warn Americans that academic standards are falling
C. advise college students to study hard
D. provide a suggestion that only full-time students be enrolled
34. The most suitable word to describe the author’s feelings about today’s college students
is _________.
A. criticize
B. sympathize
C. complain
D. urge
35.Which of the following suggestions will the author not agree with?
A. We should encourage students to give up full-time jobs.
B. Families should offer their children more help financially.
C. We should stand up and say something for today’s college students.
D. We should make more strict regulations to force students to study hard.
参考答案：
33-35.ABD
33.A推理判断题。

根据文章第一段第一句It’s high time someone spoke up for today’s college students现在到了有人该大胆地为今天的大学生说一说的时候了。

最后一段第二句What this country needs is someone to stand up and say that being a full-time student during one’s formative years is an honorable calling worthy of support.国家需要有人站起来说，在性
