Now I can express myself much better than ever.Thanks to your kindness and consideration, I’ve made rapid progress in English study. I owe all my achievements to you. I’m looking forward to more advice from you! Yours, Li Hua解析23．D 细节理解题.根据第四段According to Candice, her blogger friend, Preschool Mastermind gives adults a chance to relearn and master the things that they failed to understand as children.该课程给了成年人一个机会去重新学习或掌握在儿童时代无法理解的东西.故选D．24．C 细节理解题.根据第三段Michelle Joni Lepidus ,the brain behind the adult preschool以及A friend encouraged her to start the mastermind course instead可知该人是这个机构的建立者.故选C．考点:考察新闻类阅读28．C 主旨大意题.纵观全文可知,文章就老人开车引发的事故,分析了老年人开车引发事故的可能原因,并且提倡措施,如增加法律条例的措施来限制最高驾驶年龄.故本文的标题可用“司机应该有年龄限制吗?”故选C．考点:考查新闻报道类短文阅读考点:考查社会生活类短文阅读【名师点睛】关于细节理解题用细节定位法:细节理解题属直接解答性问题,是阅读理解题中最简单的一种,多数属中低难度的送分题.但由于高考所占的比例很大,应特别引起注意.事实和细节题的命题特点是:把某词语、某个句子或某具体事实用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表达,即同义改写.解答这类题的窍门是:A)注意掌握英语的多种表达法;B)正确分析词语在句中的作用;C)熟练运用英语的句型转换;D)读懂题干所提出的问题,并准确地找到文中涉及该问题的句子.比如文章第29题,根据文章第一段I first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone, N.C., where I ate at F.A．R.M (Feed All Regardless of Means) Café.可知去年夏天,我第一次在pay-what-you-can 餐厅吃饭.故选A．考点:考察故事类短文阅读.【解析】试题分析:肥胖是现代社会的主要问题之一、Deborah Cohen 的《A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity and How We Can End It》一书中,作者介绍了人们对肥胖问题的几种误解.36．E 根据下句由转折意义的内容“But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.”（但该书认为下面几点是关于肥胖的几点误解）可知,人们对肥胖问题观点不一,故E项正确.考点:考查七选五短文.【名师点睛】在答题中,应首先略读一下短文,了解一下短文的大致意思,本文讲到三样东西是你生活中不可缺少的,外貌你不可选择,但你可以用一些方法让自己变得更聪明.然后把几个选项含义理解透,尤其注意意思相近,表达有交叉的选项之间的区别.然后再细读短文,把答案填入合适位置.答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置,反复阅读,反复体会,找出最佳选项,对于实在没有把握的小题可以留待最后完成.完成短文后,再认真通读一遍全文,看看上下语意是否通顺,是否符合逻辑关系.比如:本文第36小题,根据下句由转折意义的内容“But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.”（但该书认为下面几点是关于肥胖的几点误解）可知,人们对肥胖问题观点不一,故E项正确.另外,做题时要注意文章的首段和每一段的首句或尾句,因为它们往往就是文章的主题句.阅读中要注意要点之间的关系.比如:文章小题38,根据上句“Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet.”（研究表明,如果我们面临太多信息,我们很可能会就节食做出糟糕的选择）可知,该句应表示“我们现在的食物如此丰富以至于我们会被引导以自己难以想象的方式去消耗食物”,故选G项.43．B考查名词辨析以及对语境的理解.航班在凤凰城耽搁了四十分钟.wait 等待;delay 耽搁;interval间隔;sleep睡眠.根据语境可知,答案选B．44．D考查动词辨析以及对语境的理解.航班的延误只给他们留下7分钟的转机的时间.根据语境可知,答案选D．45．A考查形容词辨析以及对语境的理解.这是最后一个和父亲说再见的机会.last 最后的;slight 轻微的;rare 稀有的;proper恰当的.根据语境可知,答案选A．53．C考查名词辨析以及对语境的理解.句意:机长看到了我们脸上的绝望的表情.appreciation感激;satisfaction 满意;desperation绝望;caution谨慎.根据语境可知,答案选C．54．A考查副词辨析以及对语境的理解.由于这个不寻常的决定,这很容易陷入麻烦.easily 容易地;merely 仅仅;optionally有选择地;deliberately故意地.根据语境可知,答案选A．55．B考查形容词辨析以及对语境的理解.careless 粗心的;unusual 不寻常的;selfless无私的;unwise不明智的.根据语境可知,答案选B．56．C考查动词辨析以及对语境的理解.但是Delta赞扬这个决定.resisted抵制;opposed反对;praised赞扬;sponsored赞助.根据语境可知,答案选C．57．B考查代词辨析以及对语境的理解.这种事情我们会接受的.因为其产生了巨大的影响.根据语境可知,答案选B．58．A考查固定短语辨析以及对语境的理解.make a difference产生影响,有意义.根据语境可知,答案选A．59．D考查名词辨析以及对语境的理解.这个故事证明我们可以把人性带回人间.evidence证据.根据语境可知,答案选D．60．A考查动词辨析以及对语境的理解.对别人表示关心,其作用将使你大为吃惊.surprise 使惊讶;panic 使恐慌;disappoint使失望;embarrass使尴尬.根据语境可知,答案选A．考点:考察人生百味类完型填空【名师点睛】解题技巧:巧解完形填空题考生必须进行通篇考虑,掌握大意,注意语境和有关提示,正确地分析、归纳、概括出一篇文章的主旨或段意的表达,千万不要急于选择答案.通过游览阅读上述文章,我们不难概括出该文的主旨为:本文通过作者赶飞机参加父亲葬礼,由于飞机延误,…导致作者一家转机时间很紧张.但是好心的机长把飞机停下让他们登机.通过这件事作者告诉我们在日常生活重要关爱别人.为帮助考生能更好地解答完形填空题,在这里介绍几种解题技巧.1．复现解题法:这类题多为同义词、近义词和反义词的复现或同义词、近义词和反义词异形复现的形式.这种测试手法主要是考查考生的整体篇章意识和上下文推断能力.2．语法结构法: 这类题需要考生有较为扎实的语法基础知识,能够从句式的结构上辨别出须填相关的关联词、连词、副词、形容词或相应的动词,当然还要考虑到主谓一致的关系等语法知识要点.3．语境信息解题法:这类题主要是通过短文中上下语境所透露的信息进行解题,首先要正确理解所给信息,在进行合理分析和推断,这种语境信息一定要遵循逻辑概念,符合运动规律,时态的交替,以及特殊场合下的应急合理判断.1）“I was crying and comforting my girls who were also in tears when the phone rang, ___51___us that the pilot was returning to the gate to let us board the plane.”51．A．advising B．informing C．warning D．instructing【51．B项,这个时候电话响了,告知我们飞行员正把飞机开回来让我们登机.advising 建议;informing告知;warning警告;instructing教导.根据语境可知,答案选B．】4．固定搭配解题法:这类题与语法结构题有点类似,但主要惯用搭配,讲究词与词的搭配,涉及到关联词、动词、副词、形容词、名词和短语等.2）But when they arrived at the gate, the last plane of the day to Memphis was __48__away from the gate. 3）…knowing we made a ____58____.” confirmed Adam.48．A．keeping B．bringing C．pulling D．taking58.A．difference B．change C．promise D．Deal【48．C项.但是当他们到大门口的时候,最后一个航班正驶离登机处.pull away驶离.根据语境可知,答案选C．58．A项.make a difference产生影响,有意义.这种事情我们会接受的.因为其产生了巨大的影响,根据语境可知选A．】5．逻辑语气解题法:这类题主要是通过分了解全文的人物、时间、地点等信息之后,再分析句子与句子之间的关系,段落与段落之间的关系来解题.这种逻辑语气主要包含并列、递进、因果、转折和委婉语气等等.这类题的选项多为连词、副词或具有连词意义的各类短语.4）Airline experts pointed out Cohen could have __54___gotten into trouble ……54．A．easily B．merely C．optionally D．deliberately【54．A项,由于这个不寻常的决定,这很容易陷入麻烦.easily 容易地;merely 仅仅;optionally有选择地;deliberately故意地.根据语境可知,答案选A．】66．a考查冠词.句意:这个农民正要放弃时一个小男孩走向他,要求再给他一次机会.a second再一个,又一个. 67．with考查独立结构.句意:过了一会,小男孩走出来手里拿着手表.这里考查with的独立结构. 68．surprised考查形容词.句意:这个农民,惊讶但是很开心,问这个男孩是怎么找到的….此题考查和happy并列的形容词,故用surprised.69．sit句意:男孩回答说:”我只是静静地坐在那里听手表发出的声音“.本题考查固定结构do nothing but do什么都不做,但做.70.better本题考查比较级.句意:这显示了有时候平静的心态起更大的作用.根据空后的than可知这里用比较级better.考点:考查词汇和语法运用能力【名师点睛】限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别:一、在书写形式上,限制性定语从句紧接着主句写,非限制性定语从句和主句隔开.He is a man who has won six medals.He is a man,who has won six medals.二、限制性定语从句对先行词有限制修饰的作用,使得先行词具有区分于其它同类事物的特点.It is the tree I planted three years ago.这是我三年前栽种的那颗树（不是其它的树）.而非限制性定语从句并没有上述作用,相反,它是对先行词起补充说明的作用.It is a tree,which I planted three years ago.这是一颗树,我三年前栽种的（补充说明树栽种的时间）.三,限制性定语从句对先行词具有限定性,非限制性定语从句体现先行词的唯一性.John likes his father who has studied abroad.约翰喜欢他出国学习过的那个父亲（给人感觉他另外还有其它没出国过的父亲）John likes his father,who has studied abroad.约翰喜欢他的父亲,他父亲出国学习过.（约翰的父亲是唯一的）四,语法区别.常考的一点是:非限制性定语从句修饰物,关系代词只能使用which,不能用that.It is a tree,which I planted three years ago.It is a tree,that I planted three years ago.(错)76．on the contrary考查固定短语.句意:他认为他的市场计划很完美,但是与此相反,它并不完美,结果失败了.这里根据语境用on the contrary“与此相反”.77．Equipped with考查固定结构.equip sb with sth 提供给人某物.,用被动语态的形式,前后主语一致,考查过去分词作状语,故用Equipped with.78．To my satisfaction令我满意的是.79．by the hour 按小时.80.developed本题考查过去分词做宾补.句意:经理很高兴的看到努力之后这么多的新产品被开发出来.故这里动词develop和宾语so many new products之间被动关系,用过去分词developed做宾语补足语.考点:考查词汇和语法运用能力【解析】81.decided和try之间加to 考查不定式.句意:我的父母上周末决定品尝一家新的西餐厅.这里decide to do决定做,故decided和try之间加to.82．looks →looked此题考查时态.句意:那天晚上开始很顺利,菜单看起来也很好.根据上下文可知这里要用一般过去式,故looks →looked.考点:短文改错.【名师点睛】because和because ofbecause是连词,其后接原因状语从句或回答以why开头的问句;而because of是复合介词,其后接名词、代词或动名词,或者what引导的名词性从句.如（1）Because he is ill, he is absent today.（2）He is not at school because of his illness.（3）He can’t come because of the heavy rain.（4）We like physics because we can learn a lot of ideas.书面表达:Dear Mr. Pick,It’s a fairly long time since you left our school. I miss you very much. Is everything going well?The website you’ve recommended to me is very beneficial to my English study. It has abundant reading materials that I need most, greatly broadening my horizon. Now I has become more interested in English. Besides, I’ve made many new friends and we communicate a lot about school life, cultures, science, and so on. Now I can express myself much better than ever.Thanks to your kindness and consideration, I’ve made rapid progress in English study. I owe all my achievements to you. I’m looking forward to more advice from you!Yours,Li Hua【亮点说明】1．使用高级句型:含有定语从句的句子The website you’ve recommended to me is very beneficial to my English study.;现在分词做自然而然的结果状语It has abundant reading materials that I need most, greatly broadening my horizon. 比较级的使用Now I can express myself much better than ever..2．使用了过渡词语:Besides等.3．使用了重要短语:become more interested in对…更感兴趣;make friends交朋友;thanks to由于;make progress取得进步;owe … to把…归功于;look forward to期待.【考点】考查提纲作文听力原文Text 1W: Where are you going?M: To the supermarket.

AInternational Robotics Forum（论坛）Tokyo Big Sight, Tokyo, Japan, December 4-5The Robotics Society of Japan ( RSJ) , to provide opportunities for young robot lovers to learn more about industrial and service robots, is going to hold the International Robotics Forum that will cooperate with this year’s International Robot Exhibition．The lectures and explanations throughout the Conference will be given in Japanese but will be interpreted into English at the same time．The Conference will offer a great opportunity for senior high school students from all around the world to communicate with each other through robots．Therefore, we look forward to your active participation．The event will take place two days．On the morning of Day One, Prof．Shin’ ichi Yuta of the Shibaura Institute of Technology will give a lecture on basic mobile robotics and learning through robots．This will be followed by a talk by Mr．Kazuhiko Yokoyama of Yasukawa Electric Corporation who will explain the mechanism and control of robots and also point out the highlights(最精彩的部分）of the International Robot Exhibition．We will prepare a challenge for all the participants．We will send you themes for robot research．You will study them in advance, and on the afternoon of Day One ,you wi11 visit the Tokyo International Exhibition Center and investigate (详细研究）real robot ．You will be able to experience fun and excitement of advanced robot technologies．On the rooming of Day Two, you will present your study and investigation results．On the afternoon of Day Two，as the final event, awards will be given by the RSJ to groups that have given outstanding presentations．We hope that many future robot researchers and engineers will be born today．21．Who is the Conference intended for?A．The RSJ professors．B．Robot lovers of all ages．C．Japanese robot researchers．D．Senior high school students worldwide．22．When can the participants study the real robots?A．On the morning of December 4．B．On the morning of December 5．C．On the afternoon of December 4．D．On the afternoon of December 5．23．What type of writing is this text?A．A research paper．B．An exhibition guide．C．An announcement．D．A robotics show guide．BTwo of the saddest words in the English language are if only．I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment．My father is famous in our family for saying, Take the extra minute to do it right．，’ I always try to live by the extra minute rule．When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an if only moment，whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫)onto the sharp comers of a glass coffee table．I don’t only avoid those if only moments when i t comes to safety．It，s equally important to avoid if only*’ in ourto say I love you or I forgive you．When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday，I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here．But then I thought aboutthe fact that he* s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him．I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all．I know there will still be occasions when I have to say if" only about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality．And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing．I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being．24．Which of the following is an example of the extra minute rule?A．Start the car the moment everyone is seated．B．Leave the room for a minute with the iron working．C．Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better．D．Move an object out of the way before it trips someone．A．keep her appointment with the eye doctorB．meet her father who was already an old man．C．join in the holiday celebration of the companyD．finish her work before the deadline approached ．A．abandonedB．lackedC．avoidedD．wasted27．What is the best title for the passage?A．The Emotional Well-beingB．The Two Saddest Words．C．The Most Useful RuleD．The Peace of MindCIf a woman has an extra piece of cake，don ‘t blame it on greed, blame it on her brain．Scientists have found that women’s brains react to food very differently 一and much more strongly 一thanmen’ s．Academics found that decades of dieting pressure on women and advertising have programmed certain parts of the female brain to react strongly when faced with any kind of food．Men，on the other hand, are not usually as obsessive (着迷的）about what they eat．Dr．Rudolf Uher and his colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in Ki ng’s College London used brain scanning technology，known as functional magnetic resonance imaging ( FMRI)，to look at the brains of eighteen men and women．The volunteers were given images of food to look at, as well as food to taste．Their brain reactions were observed by the scientists．They found that the female brains reacted much more strongly than those of males．The same reaction did not happen when they were shown non-food images．The team believe this means women think more about food than men tend to．Dr．Uher said, “This could be related to biological differences between men and women．But the more likely explanation is that women have a more complicated reaction to food because of social pressure．”Professor Carey Cooper，psychology and health professor at Lancaster University，said，“for centuries women have had a providing role 一preparing and cooking food for their families．And it’s part of that role to make sure the food is safe．They will therefore be much more sensitive to food than men are, and I would not be surprised if that was now built into their DNA．If the female brain react to food because it historically has developed neural (神经的）pathways to do this, then food will be the way they express their stress．Food actually，is a comfort for women．”But other experts have said that more research must be done before the results can be proved．American scientist Angelo del Parigi of the John B．Pierce Laboratory in New Haven, Connecticut, said, “Looking at an FMRI alone cannot make sure whether the stronger reaction in women is due to innate (天生的）differences or a learned process．’’A．FMRI’s effectiveness on women and menB．women’s and men’s reaction to different imagesC．vol unteers’ reaction to food before and after mealsD．volunteers’ reaction to different kinds of food29．In Dr．Uher’s opinion, women react more strongly to food than men most probably because they_________ A．told to do so for a long timeB．influenced by advertisementsC．forced by powerful social influencesD．born to do so due to biological reasonsA．turn to food when they feel sadB．are stressed because of food safetyC．accept their social role from the heartD．are satisfied with preparing food for their families31．What was Angelo del Parigi’ s attitude towards the research results?A．Surprised．B．Uninterested．C．Doubtful．D．CuriousDTeens who are preparing to undergo cosmetic surgery often have unrealistic expectations．The growing numbers of makeover television shows which make cosmetic surgery seem simple，have encouraged adolescents to pursue surgery to improve their physical appearance．As a result, more teenagers are going under the knife to achieve a desired look．When teens feel the need to have plastic surgery, they believe that it is not a huge deal, but they may not be mature enough to make such a life altering decision．If teens feel inadequate before surgery，they will most likely feel disappointed afterwards．Not only is surgery complex and risky for mature adults，it is extremely dangerous for younger people，and some doctors are performing these procedures on kids as young as fourteen！The cost of procedures can add up to thousands of dollars．Insurance does not cover the costs of these procedures．Teenagers often pay for surgery themselves 一a very costly purchase for a young person．Not only can surgery become addictive for insecure teens，the consequence can be disappointing．When surgery takes an unexpected wrong turn, irreparable (不可挽回的）damage can occur．Any surgery on a young，undeveloped person has a risk of complication (并发症）such as infection (感染），which can lead to death．Even if ．there are no complications, there is no guarantee that surgery will provide the perfect nose or sculpted body．No matter how minor the procedure, it is not as effortless as it appears．Of course, there are cases where plastic surgery is appropriate．If a child has a serious injury or scarring from an accident，it can be beneficial．In all cases, parents must be involved in the process for the welfare of their child, and must guide them in the right direction．Fortunately, parents or legal guardians (监护人）must sign documents allowing their child to have plastic surgery．Doctors also need to be a part of the decision．Most experienced and trust-worthy physicians turn down the opportunity to operate on a teenager unnecessarily．Plastic surgery is a life-changing experience．Hopefully, more teens will realize that there is more to a person than physical beauty, and learn to accept themselves for who they are．32．Teenagers are encouraged to have plastic surgery by _________．A．some surgeonsB．TV show hostsC．their teen friendsD．lots of TV programs33．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．Plastic surgery being too costly for teens．B．The hidden danger in having plastic surgery．C．The development of techniques of plastic surgery．D．Plastic surgery making teens prettier without effort34．The author may think a teenager can consider having plastic surgery if he/she _______ A．has an ugly scarB．is not very beautifulC．is supported by their parentsD．has got a doctor* s permission35．What is the author s general attitude towards teens having plastic

A Brooklyn-based adult preschool is charging customers between $333 and $999 for the chance to act like a kid again.At Preschool Mastermind in New York adults get to participate in show—and—tell, arts—and—crafts such as finger paint, games like musical chairs and even take naps. The month-long course also has class picture day where the adults are expected to have a field trip and a parent day.30-year-old Michelle Joni Lepidus, the brain behind the adult preschool, studied childhood education and has always wanted to be a preschool teacher. She’s always on the lookout for new ways to get people in touch with the freedom of childhood. A friend encouraged her to start the mastermind course instead.According to Candice, her blogger friend, Preschool Mastermind gives adults a chance to relearn and master the things that they failed to understand as children. “I realized all the significances of what we learn in preschool, “said founder Michelle Joni, “People come here and get in touch with their inner child. It’s magical. We are bringing ourselves back to another place, another time with ourselves when we are more believing in ourselves, more confident and ready to take on the world.”“One person’s here because they want to learn not to be so serious.” Michelle said “Another’s here to learn to be more confident.”She explained that most of the classes were planned. However, Joni added that while the planned activities were fun, it was often the spontaneous（自发的）moments that attracted students. “It’s the things you don’t plan for, the sharing between friends and learning from each other.’’21．What is the purpose of Preschool Mastermind? ________A．To give adults a chance to return to childhood.B．To help parents understand their children better.C．To provide practical training courses for teachers.D．To introduce some ways of playing with children.22．What is mainly discussed about Preschool Mastermind in Paragraph 2? ________A．Its customers. B．Its activities. C．Its environment. D．Its schedule.23．According to Candice, people come to this program to________A．enjoy freedom of thinking B．realize their childhood dreamsC．discover their inner abilities D．figure out childhood puzzles24．What do we know about Michelle Joni? ________A．She used to be a preschool teacher. B．She likes to make plans in advance.C．She founded Preschool Mastermind. D．She gained confidence by sharing.BBack in 2003 an 86-year-old man drove his Buick through a crowded farmers’market. Nine people were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stopped, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in hissystem. Apparently, he was just old and confused.This is a frightening accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools, houses, storefronts, or worse.In our teenage years, we all heard “driving is not a right; it’s a privilege.” That is still true, and there comes an age when driving is no longer a privilege that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight and dementia（痴呆）are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly, these age-related problems affect some older adults’ driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty-five and ninety years old, his or her driving privilege should be examined.Licensing laws vary greatly from state to state, and it’s time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving. The motivation for this law is safety. Another option is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as safe as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow elderly drivers to continue driving could be new technology like a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldn’t some prescription drugs also be included? The average age of 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one prescription drug daily.The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two-ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age is not only challenging for the elderly drivers, but also it’s dangerous for the rest of us.25．The first paragraph is written in order to show________A．the harm of driving at an old age B．the importance of traffic safetyC．traffic accidents are on the rise D．many elderly drivers are careless26．The author suggests that there should be new laws against driving________A．over eighty-five B．between sunset and dawnC．with the help of voice warning systems D．under the influence of prescription drugs27．The underlined word “unsettling” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”. A．disappointing B．worrying C．touching D．interesting28．Which of the following would be the best title for the text? ________A．How to keep old people safe on the road?B．Are drivers well protected by licensing laws?C．Should there be an age limit for elderly drivers?D．Is driving a right or a privilege for an old person?CI first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone, N.C., where I ate at F.A.R.M （Feed All Regardless of Means）Café. You can volunteer to earn your meal, pay the suggested price（$10）or less, or you can overpay—paying it forward for a future customer’s meal. My only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. So as soon as Healthy World Café opened in York in April, I signed up for a volunteer shift（轮班）.F.A.R.M and Healthy World are part of a growing trend of community cafés. In 2003, Denise Cerrito opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerrito now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation, helping others copy her pay-what-you can model.“I think the community caféis truly a hand up, not a handout,”Cerrito said. She acknowledged that soup kitchens（施粥所）have a place in society, but people typically don’t feel good about going there.“One of the values of the community café is that we have another approach,” she said. “Everyone eats here, no one needs to know whether you volunteered, overpaid or underpaid.”The successful cafés not only address hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhood – whether it’s a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we are all in this world together.My 10 am-1 pm shift at World-Healthy-Cafébegan with the cafémanager –one of the two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasn’t the most orderly, but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift, I ordered my earned meal at the counter, together with other volunteers. After lunch, I walked out the door, with a handful of new friends, music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart. 29．What did the author do at F.A.R.M Café last summer? ________A．She enjoyed a meal. B．She ate free of charge.C．She overpaid for the food. D．She worked as a volunteer.30．What is the advantage of community cafés compared with soup kitchens? ________A．People can have free food. B．People can maintain their dignity.C．People can stay as long as they like. D．People can find their places in society.31．Why are community cafés becoming popular in the neighborhoods? ________A．They bring people true friendships. B．They help to bring people together.C．They create a lot of job opportunities. D．They support local economic development.32．How did the author feel about working at Healthy World Café? ________A．It paid well. B．It changed her. C．It was beneficial. D．It was easy for her.DWe took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August, and it was as refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to be. Toward the end of our long drive home, even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on. At that point in a road trip, even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow. We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home, I hit the brakes, and we began to roll, slowly, behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again. We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again. Just-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattle.At five miles per hour, you remember what you forget at sixty-five. You are thinking about a place, even when you are moving from place to place.I am a place maker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home, and also a writer and a gardener. But, for me, those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life : I want to cultivate a place and share it with others.The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in l880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land, and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers, keep a baker’s dozen of egg—laying chickens, and, since we moved in three years ago, we have planted many, many trees.Living with my life’s purpose does not allow for much travel. I need to be here, feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget, and we spend it on trees.But I learned something at the end of our family road trip. Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place. When I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there, travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places.33．What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?A．The tiredness of her past family life. B．Her disappointment at the family road trip.C．The family’s eagerness to return home. D．Kids’ excitement at driving fast on the road.34．Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?A．Because she made a way for a horse-drawn carriage.B．Because she enjoyed the scenery along the road.C．Because she needed a break after the long drive.D．Because she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life.35．What can be the best title of the passage?A．On the Way Home B. Never Travel againC．Escape from a Family Life D. Life on the FarmEThe book A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity and How We Can End It by Deborah Cohen, a senior natural scientist, is very popular now. 36 But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.1．If you’re obese, blame your genes.37 Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled-----too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible. At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.2．If you’re obese, you lack self-control.Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet. 38 Even the most vigilant（警觉的）people may not be good controllers of themselves.3．39Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 percent of Americans live in the “food deserts”, about 65 percent of the nation’s population is obese. For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets.4．The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we don’t exercise.Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. 40 In fact, although a drop in work-related physical activity may explain up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased.A．Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is a cause of obesity.B．Obesity rates have increased.C．Fresh fruits and vegetables we choose in a supermarket are related to obesity.D．But there was no obvious decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s. E．People hold different views on obesity.F．People benefit a lot from physical activities.G．Our world has become so rich in food that we can be led to consume too much in ways we can’t understand.第三部分语言运用完型填空（共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分）阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项.In the week before Christmas, one Delta airlines pilot gave a sad Arizona family a gift that no one else could.Father of three, Jay short died after a 41 with lung cancer Dec, 16th.

I’ve decided to lose weight and I had to give up cakes. It’s difficult because I have a sweet tooth and I love cream cakes.Not having treats can be good for your health. I’ve heard that the Burts, a family of five in South East England，lived sugar free for a whole year after they found out their daughter had diabetes (糖尿病).It wasn’t easy. To avoid temptation, I don’t go to any bakeries, but this family actually owns one, which makes up to 3 ,000 cakes a week.They were in shock when the doctor said that their 16-year-old Lucy had to check her blood sugar levels regularly and take insulin (胰岛素). He advised her to eat a normal,balanced diet,but the Burts went further and got rid of sugar altogether.And how does it feel to live without sugar for a while? Jason Burt said that for a month they felt weak. But later on it all changed. He says he feels “more awake”and full of energy.And what about the Burt family business? It had to keep using half a ton of sugar a week and any cook worth his salt knows that you have to taste a recipe to know if it’s right. No problem there,says Jason Burt’s wife, Clare. She points out that she’s got lots of people offering to taste the cakes for them. The family is also thinking about selling more delicious products.I wonder what makes us have a strong desire for sweet food. Anyway, I’ve decided to forget about the sweet taste of sugar for a while. As British model Kate Moss says：“Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”21.From the passage, what do we know about the author?A. The author runs a bakery.B. The author hates sweet taste.C. The author is on a diet.D. The author’s daughter had diabetes.22.What did the Burts do after hearing the doctor’s advice?A.They were shocked.B. They went too far about it.C.They used half a ton of sugar a week.D. They avoided sugar completely.23.From the passage we can learn it is necessary for a cook .A.to make up to 3 ,000 cakes a weekB.to taste a recipe to know if it’s rightC.to get lots of people offering to taste the cakesD.to selling more delicious products24.What does the sentence by Kate Moss mean?A.It is worthwhile to resist food to look skinny.B.There is nothing tasting as good as sweets.C.Nothing tastes good when the skin feels terrible.D.Nobody can resist the desire for sweets.BParents will do anything for their children. Whether it would be the food, clothes, or the place they live in,parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything. One of the big-gest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of diffi-culties when it comes to educationfor their young ones. Choices include private school, charter school,public school or home schooling.Fortunately for parents，there are a variety of different strategies that they can take in order to in-crease their child’s overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychol-ogy at the University of California at Davis, a child’s brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an in-strument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well balanced meal is essential for a child’s mental as well as physical health. Some other researchers recommended that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. They state that three to four years of age is the perfect time and that any age under four would work perfectly fine for a child’s brain development.The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade. Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children could have an adequate background of the alphabet and sounds of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading tothem whenever you want. The more comfortable they get,the easier the process will be.25.From the first paragraph, we can infer that .A.parents find it hard to satisfy their kids’ various demandsB.parents meet a new challenge when raising their kidsC.parents have more choices in offering education to their kidsD.parents get actively involved in the process of their kids’ growth26.What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?A.To train kids as early as possible.B.To try as many means as possible.C.To help kids develop as fully as possible.D.To use as many available resources as possible.27.What does the third paragraph mainly discuss about?A.The proper time to teach children to learn languages.B.The effective ways to help develop children’s brains.C.The vital factors to have a great effect on children's health.D.The practical steps to arouse children’s interest in study.28.We can replace the words “jump start”in the last paragraph with .A.inspirationB. introductionC. suggestionD. promotionCOne of the greatest gifts one generation can give to other generations is the wisdom it has gained from experience. This idea has inspired the award-winning photographer Andrew Zuckerman. He interviewed and took photos of fiftyover-sixty-five-year-olds all over the world. His project explores various aspects of their lives. The photos and interviews are now available on our website.Click on the introductions to read the complete interviews.Let us now have a culture of peace.一Federico Mayor Zaragoza, SpainFederico Mayor Zaragoza obtained a doctorate in pharmacy (药学）from the Complutense Uni- versity of Madrid in 1958.

In addition to many scientific publications, he has published four collections of poems and several books of essays.Writing is a discovery.一Nadine Gordimer，South AfricaDue to a weak heart, Nadine Gordimer attended school and university briefly.

In 1995,historian Frances Wood argued in her book Did Marco Polo Go to China ? that the famous explorer from Venice never made it to pass the Black Sea. She noted that his travel journal left out the Great Wall of China,chopsticks and tea drinking among other details.Furthermore, Chinese documents from Polo’s day made no mention of the explorer and his men. Last year, a team of Italian researchers became the latest to challenge Polo’s accounts. They said that evidence didn’t support his description of Kublai Khan’s Japanese invasions (侵略）.Now, however, research by Hans Ulrich Vogel of Germany’s Tubingen University might help prove Marco Polo was true. In a new book Marco Polo Was in China，the professor of Chinese history tries to prove that Marco Polo spoke the truth. He suggests, for example, that Polo didn’t include the Great Wall in his book because it only achieved its great importance in the Ming Dynasty several hun-dred years later. Vogel further explains that Chinese records from the 13th and 14th centuries avoided setting down visits from Westerners.Historians before him have touched on these issues. But Vogel also relies on another evidence:the explorer’s very detailed descriptions of currency and salt production in the Yuan Dynasty. Accord-ing to Vogel, Polo documented these aspects of Mongol Chinese culture in greater detail than any oth-er of his time. This is a hint that Polo relied on his own powers of observation.Will we ever know whether Marco Polo traveled to China? Perhaps not, but the consequences of his real or fictional journey are still felt across the globe. One reader of The travels of Marco Polo was Christopher Columbus,who stepped upon the New World while following his idol’s footsteps.33.France Wood doubted Marco Polo’s travel’s to China because his description .A.missed some important culture of ChinaB. covered so much about traders’ lifeC.was full of obvious mistakesD. seemed less detailed34.Vogel’s trust on Marco Polo is based on the argument that .a.The Great Wall didn’ t gain its importance thenb.Records in the Yuan Dynasty mentioned Poloc.Polo mentioned the currency and saltd.Polo’s other works are believablee.Polo recorded what he saw in great detailA. a, b, dB. a, c, dC. a, eD.b，c35.Which of the following shows the structure of the text?第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Yours, Li Hua解析23．D 细节理解题.根据第四段According to Candice, her blogger friend, Preschool Mastermind gives adults a chance to relearn and master the things that they failed to understand as children.该课程给了成年人一个机会去重新学习或掌握在儿童时代无法理解的东西.故选D．24．C 细节理解题.根据第三段Michelle Joni Lepidus ,the brain behind the adult preschool以及A friend encouraged her to start the mastermind course instead可知该人是这个机构的建立者.故选C．考点:考察新闻类阅读28．C 主旨大意题.纵观全文可知,文章就老人开车引发的事故,分析了老年人开车引发事故的可能原因,并且提倡措施,如增加法律条例的措施来限制最高驾驶年龄.故本文的标题可用“司机应该有年龄限制吗?”故选C．考点:考查新闻报道类短文阅读考点:考查社会生活类短文阅读【名师点睛】关于细节理解题用细节定位法:细节理解题属直接解答性问题,是阅读理解题中最简单的一种,多数属中低难度的送分题.但由于高考所占的比例很大,应特别引起注意.事实和细节题的命题特点是:把某词语、某个句子或某具体事实用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表达,即同义改写.解答这类题的窍门是:A)注意掌握英语的多种表达法;B)正确分析词语在句中的作用;C)熟练运用英语的句型转换;D)读懂题干所提出的问题,并准确地找到文中涉及该问题的句子.比如文章第29题,根据文章第一段I first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone, N.C., where I ate at F.A．R.M (Feed All Regardless of Means) Café.可知去年夏天,我第一次在pay-what-you-can餐厅吃饭.故选A．考点:考察故事类短文阅读.【解析】试题分析:肥胖是现代社会的主要问题之一、Deborah Cohen 的《A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity and How We Can End It》一书中,作者介绍了人们对肥胖问题的几种误解.36．E 根据下句由转折意义的内容“But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.”（但该书认为下面几点是关于肥胖的几点误解）可知,人们对肥胖问题观点不一,故E项正确.考点:考查七选五短文.【名师点睛】在答题中,应首先略读一下短文,了解一下短文的大致意思,本文讲到三样东西是你生活中不可缺少的,外貌你不可选择,但你可以用一些方法让自己变得更聪明.然后把几个选项含义理解透,尤其注意意思相近,表达有交叉的选项之间的区别.然后再细读短文,把答案填入合适位置.答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置,反复阅读,反复体会,找出最佳选项,对于实在没有把握的小题可以留待最后完成.完成短文后,再认真通读一遍全文,看看上下语意是否通顺,是否符合逻辑关系.比如:本文第36小题,根据下句由转折意义的内容“But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.”（但该书认为下面几点是关于肥胖的几点误解）可知,人们对肥胖问题观点不一,故E项正确.另外,做题时要注意文章的首段和每一段的首句或尾句,因为它们往往就是文章的主题句.阅读中要注意要点之间的关系.比如:文章小题38,根据上句“Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet.”（研究表明,如果我们面临太多信息,我们很可能会就节食做出糟糕的选择）可知,该句应表示“我们现在的食物如此丰富以至于我们会被引导以自己难以想象的方式去消耗食物”,故选G项.43．B考查名词辨析以及对语境的理解.航班在凤凰城耽搁了四十分钟.wait 等待;delay 耽搁;interval间隔;sleep睡眠.根据语境可知,答案选B．44．D考查动词辨析以及对语境的理解.航班的延误只给他们留下7分钟的转机的时间.根据语境可知,答案选D．45．A考查形容词辨析以及对语境的理解.这是最后一个和父亲说再见的机会.last 最后的;slight 轻微的;rare 稀有的;proper恰当的.根据语境可知,答案选A．53．C考查名词辨析以及对语境的理解.句意:机长看到了我们脸上的绝望的表情.appreciation感激;satisfaction 满意;desperation绝望;caution谨慎.根据语境可知,答案选C．54．A考查副词辨析以及对语境的理解.由于这个不寻常的决定,这很容易陷入麻烦.easily 容易地;merely 仅仅;optionally有选择地;deliberately故意地.根据语境可知,答案选A．55．B考查形容词辨析以及对语境的理解.careless 粗心的;unusual 不寻常的;selfless无私的;unwise不明智的.根据语境可知,答案选B．56．C考查动词辨析以及对语境的理解.但是Delta赞扬这个决定.resisted抵制;opposed反对;praised赞扬;sponsored赞助.根据语境可知,答案选C．57．B考查代词辨析以及对语境的理解.这种事情我们会接受的.因为其产生了巨大的影响.根据语境可知,答案选B．58．A考查固定短语辨析以及对语境的理解.make a difference产生影响,有意义.根据语境可知,答案选A．59．D考查名词辨析以及对语境的理解.这个故事证明我们可以把人性带回人间.evidence证据.根据语境可知,答案选D．60．A考查动词辨析以及对语境的理解.对别人表示关心,其作用将使你大为吃惊.surprise 使惊讶;panic 使恐慌;disappoint使失望;embarrass使尴尬.根据语境可知,答案选A．考点:考察人生百味类完型填空【名师点睛】解题技巧:巧解完形填空题考生必须进行通篇考虑,掌握大意,注意语境和有关提示,正确地分析、归纳、概括出一篇文章的主旨或段意的表达,千万不要急于选择答案.通过游览阅读上述文章,我们不难概括出该文的主旨为:本文通过作者赶飞机参加父亲葬礼,由于飞机延误,…导致作者一家转机时间很紧张.但是好心的机长把飞机停下让他们登机.通过这件事作者告诉我们在日常生活重要关爱别人.为帮助考生能更好地解答完形填空题,在这里介绍几种解题技巧.1．复现解题法:这类题多为同义词、近义词和反义词的复现或同义词、近义词和反义词异形复现的形式.这种测试手法主要是考查考生的整体篇章意识和上下文推断能力.2．语法结构法: 这类题需要考生有较为扎实的语法基础知识,能够从句式的结构上辨别出须填相关的关联词、连词、副词、形容词或相应的动词,当然还要考虑到主谓一致的关系等语法知识要点.3．语境信息解题法:这类题主要是通过短文中上下语境所透露的信息进行解题,首先要正确理解所给信息,在进行合理分析和推断,这种语境信息一定要遵循逻辑概念,符合运动规律,时态的交替,以及特殊场合下的应急合理判断.1）“I was crying and comforting my girls who were also in tears when the phone rang, ___51___us that the pilot was returning to the gate to let us board the plane.”51．A．advising B．informing C．warning D．instructing【51．B项,这个时候电话响了,告知我们飞行员正把飞机开回来让我们登机.advising 建议;informing告知;warning警告;instructing教导.根据语境可知,答案选B．】4．固定搭配解题法:这类题与语法结构题有点类似,但主要惯用搭配,讲究词与词的搭配,涉及到关联词、动词、副词、形容词、名词和短语等.2）But when they arrived at the gate, the last plane of the day to Memphis was __48__away from the gate. 3）…knowing we made a ____58____.” confirmed Adam.48．A．keeping B．bringing C．pulling D．taking58.A．difference B．change C．promise D．Deal【48．C项.但是当他们到大门口的时候,最后一个航班正驶离登机处.pull away驶离.根据语境可知,答案选C．58．A项.make a difference产生影响,有意义.这种事情我们会接受的.因为其产生了巨大的影响,根据语境可知选A．】5．逻辑语气解题法:这类题主要是通过分了解全文的人物、时间、地点等信息之后,再分析句子与句子之间的关系,段落与段落之间的关系来解题.这种逻辑语气主要包含并列、递进、因果、转折和委婉语气等等.这类题的选项多为连词、副词或具有连词意义的各类短语.4）Airline experts pointed out Cohen could have __54___gotten into trouble ……54．A．easily B．merely C．optionally D．deliberately【54．A项,由于这个不寻常的决定,这很容易陷入麻烦.easily 容易地;merely 仅仅;optionally有选择地;deliberately故意地.根据语境可知,答案选A．】66．a考查冠词.句意:这个农民正要放弃时一个小男孩走向他,要求再给他一次机会.a second再一个,又一个. 67．with考查独立结构.句意:过了一会,小男孩走出来手里拿着手表.这里考查with的独立结构. 68．surprised考查形容词.句意:这个农民,惊讶但是很开心,问这个男孩是怎么找到的….此题考查和happy并列的形容词,故用surprised.69．sit句意:男孩回答说:”我只是静静地坐在那里听手表发出的声音“.本题考查固定结构do nothing but do什么都不做,但做.70.better本题考查比较级.句意:这显示了有时候平静的心态起更大的作用.根据空后的than可知这里用比较级better.考点:考查词汇和语法运用能力【名师点睛】限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别:一、在书写形式上,限制性定语从句紧接着主句写,非限制性定语从句和主句隔开.He is a man who has won six medals.He is a man,who has won six medals.二、限制性定语从句对先行词有限制修饰的作用,使得先行词具有区分于其它同类事物的特点.It is the tree I planted three years ago.这是我三年前栽种的那颗树（不是其它的树）.而非限制性定语从句并没有上述作用,相反,它是对先行词起补充说明的作用.It is a tree,which I planted three years ago.这是一颗树,我三年前栽种的（补充说明树栽种的时间）.三,限制性定语从句对先行词具有限定性,非限制性定语从句体现先行词的唯一性.John likes his father who has studied abroad.约翰喜欢他出国学习过的那个父亲（给人感觉他另外还有其它没出国过的父亲）John likes his father,who has studied abroad.约翰喜欢他的父亲,他父亲出国学习过.（约翰的父亲是唯一的）四,语法区别.常考的一点是:非限制性定语从句修饰物,关系代词只能使用which,不能用that.It is a tree,which I planted three years ago.It is a tree,that I planted three years ago.(错)76．on the contrary考查固定短语.句意:他认为他的市场计划很完美,但是与此相反,它并不完美,结果失败了.这里根据语境用on the contrary“与此相反”.77．Equipped with考查固定结构.equip sb with sth 提供给人某物.,用被动语态的形式,前后主语一致,考查过去分词作状语,故用Equipped with.78．To my satisfaction令我满意的是.79．by the hour 按小时.80.developed本题考查过去分词做宾补.句意:经理很高兴的看到努力之后这么多的新产品被开发出来.故这里动词develop和宾语so many new products之间被动关系,用过去分词developed做宾语补足语.考点:考查词汇和语法运用能力【解析】81.decided和try之间加to 考查不定式.句意:我的父母上周末决定品尝一家新的西餐厅.这里decide to do决定做,故decided和try之间加to.82．looks →looked此题考查时态.句意:那天晚上开始很顺利,菜单看起来也很好.根据上下文可知这里要用一般过去式,故looks →looked.考点:短文改错.【名师点睛】because和because ofbecause是连词,其后接原因状语从句或回答以why开头的问句;而because of是复合介词,其后接名词、代词或动名词,或者what引导的名词性从句.如（1）Because he is ill, he is absent today.（2）He is not at school because of his illness.（3）He can’t come because of the heavy rain.（4）We like physics because we can learn a lot of ideas.书面表达:Dear Mr. Pick,It’s a fairly long time since you left our school. I miss you very much. Is everything going well?The website you’ve recommended to me is very beneficial to my English study. It has abundant reading materials that I need most, greatly broadening my horizon. Now I has become more interested in English.

Now I can express myself much better than ever.Thanks to your kindness and consideration, I’ve made rapid progress in English study. I owe all my achievements to you. I’m looking forward to more advice from you!Yours,Li Hua【亮点说明】1．使用高级句型:含有定语从句的句子The website you’ve recommended to me is very beneficial to my English study.;现在分词做自然而然的结果状语It has abundant reading materials that I need most, greatly broadening my horizon. 比较级的使用Now I can express myself much better than ever..2．使用了过渡词语:Besides等.3．使用了重要短语:become more interested in对…更感兴趣;make friends交朋友;thanks to由于;make progress取得进步;owe … to把…归功于;look forward to期待.【考点】考查提纲作文听力原文Text 1W: Where are you going?M: To the supermarket.
