21. ______ we can see, we can’t get very far in this project without her help.
A. As long as

B. which
C. what
D. where
【解析】选A。

考查同位语从句。

句意：他表达了他的愿望，就是当地政府会采取措施来防止甲型H1N1流感的传播。

后面是hope的具体内容，从句中不缺少成分，故用that来引导同位语从句。

D. wonder
【解析】选D。

no wonder“难怪”，常构成It is/was no wonder. . . , 符合句意。

26. The environmental disaster is bound to occur _____ we have to change the way we live.
A. but

A. than stop

30. Russ and Earl were auto mechanics _____ the same pay, but Earl had more ambition.
A. to earn
B. to have earned
C. earning
D. earned
【解析】选C。

句意为：Russ和Earl是赚钱一样多的机械修理师，但是Earl有更大的野心。

此题考查非谓语动词作定语的用法。

因earn和auto mechanics具有逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词短语作定语，表示目前的情况，而不定式作定语表示将来的情况。

31. The owner of the cinema needed to make a lot of improvements and employ more people to keep it running, ________ meant spending tens of thousands of pounds.
A. who

考查情态动词的用法。

由下文的“I heard him make a call just now. ”可以推断，这里要表达的意思是：他离开的时间一定不长。

所以选B项，意思是“不可能”。

must只能用于肯定推测；shouldn’t“不应该”；needn’t“没必要”均不合题意。

33. —I want to go to Beijing with you.
—If so, your holiday arrangement must _____ mine.
［2010杭州模拟］
A. catch up with
B. come up with
C. put up with
D. fit in with

catch up with赶上，come up with提出，想起；put up with忍受。

34. _______ was reported that Liu Xiang came out first at the 11th National Games.

35. The little girl who got lost decided to remain _____she was and wait for her mother.
［2010天津模拟］
A. where
B. what
C. how
D. in which
【解析】选A。

句意：这个迷路的小女孩决定呆在原地等候她的母亲。

where she was是where引导的从句，意为原先的地方，如果在定语从句中可用in which。

因此选A。

第二节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）
I work in a company in India. And it has 36 in Germany and the UK, so I 37 take business trips to these places.

Recently, I came back to 44 after a month-long trip from Munich and I’d bought a lot of chocolates for the office staff. I called over 45 of the housekeeping staff members called Babu. I gave him a box of chocolates and told him to distribute it 46 among the housekeeping staff. His face immediately broke into a wide smile and this made me 47 .

第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
(A)
British teenagers look to the stars When their parents were
children, they imagined a future standing in front of a class of pupils or doing the
rounds（巡诊）as a doctor.
But today’s British teenagers, a survey suggests, seem to have set their sights
only on becoming the next Leona Lewis or Wayne Rooney.
Researchers questioned 3, 000 teenagers about their ambitions and
also asked parents about their youthful career hopes.
According to the survey, youngsters dream of a celebrity（明星）
lifestyle, perhaps after finding fame through shows such as the X Factor, and of being actors or sports stars. Copying the likes of Rooney and David Beckham was the top career ambition of today’s teenagers, cited（提起）by 12 percent.
Almost as many, 11 percent, wanted to be pop stars, and the same proportion（比例）dreamed of being actors.
The success of celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay is likely to explain why becoming a chef is now the dream of 5 percent, a career ambition which did not figure in the list of 25 years ago.
A quarter of a century back teaching was the top career choice, cited by 15 percent. These days the job is chosen by only 4 percent.
Of the traditional professions, only law has risen in popularity.
The survey also suggests that more girls dream of becoming doctors and boys want careers as astronauts or firefighters.
Child psychologist Laverne Antrobus said the findings reflect toda y’s celebrity culture and warned children against unrealistic dreams.
“Children see footballers, pop stars and actors on TV and their lives look exciting, glamorous（光鲜的）and fun, ”she said. “It is hard for them to realize that they are the end product of a lot of ingredients including talent, determination and years of hard work. Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch（球场）by chance. ”
As Antrobus pointed out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with children having big dreams, but “these have to be based on reality, ”she said.

A. have the talent of

New rules will let millions of Americans know where more of their
foods come from. The law is known as COOL—Country of Origin
Labeling（标签）.
American Congress first passed the law in 2002. Stores have had
to label seafood by country of origin since 2005. But industry pressure
delayed other requirements until last week.
Products that must now be labeled include fresh fruits and vegetables, muscle meats and some kinds of nuts. But the rules are complex, and many foods are excluded.
For example, organ meats are free to be labeled. So are processed foods, including cooked or smoked foods.
The United States has imported more and more food in recent years to save money and expand choices. Country-of-origin labeling has become more common lately but has still been limited in many stores.
Food safety is one reason why some shoppers pay close attention to where foods came from. For example, when a large number of people recently got sick from salmonella（沙门氏菌）, officials blamed peppers from Mexico. Yet the last big food scare involved spinach（菠菜）grown in California. But labeling is also a way for people to know they are getting what they want. Some want to buy local foods or foods from a particular country.
The country-of-origin labeling law gives stores 30 days to correct any violations that are found. Stores and suppliers
that are found to be deliberately violating the law could be fined 1, 000 dollars per violation. Federal inspectors are not to take action to enforce the law for six months to give time for an education campaign.
Some food safety activists say they are generally pleased with the law. They call it a good step that will give people more useful information.
美国议会通过法律，要求更多的商品贴上标签，以表明其产地，民众和食品行业的反应又会如何？
61. What’s the regulation in the new rules?
A. Stores have to label food by its producing date from now on.
B. The country-of-origin labeling has to be marked on more food.
C. Stores have to label seafood by country-of-origin.
D. Labeling of food should include more useful information.
【解析】选B。

由文章的第一句话及第三段可知，有更多的商品都要标明其原产地。

62. Why has more and more food been imported to the United States in recent years?
A. Because it is economical and provides people with more choices.
B. Because the United States is short of food supply.
C. Because Americans need more and more food recently.
D. Because foreign food is of higher quality than native food.
【解析】选A。

由文章中第五段的The United States has imported more and more food in recent years to save money and expand choices. 可知美国人进口食品的原因是便宜，同时这也增加了人们可选择的机会。

63. Consumers are more concerned about where foods came from because _____ .
A. they are curious about the country of the food origin
B. they are particular about the tastes of the food
C. they are concerned about food safety or want to get what they want
D. most of the shoppers are food safety activists themselves
【解析】选C。

细节理解题。

由文章第六段的Food safety is one reason why some shoppers pay close attention to where foods came from及labeling is also a way for people to know they are getting what they want可知答案。

64. The new rules of the country-of-origin labeling law will come into effect ________.
A. right now
B. in a month
C. in three months
D. in half a year
【解析】选D。

由文章第七段中的Federal inspectors are not to take action to enforce the law for six months to give time for an education campaign. 可知这项法律将在半年后生效。

65. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Most Americans prefer imported vegetables to the vegetables grown in local places.
B. The law was not fully carried out until last week because of food industry’s resistance.
C. The government of America will forbid importing peppers from Mexico.
D. Store owners are most likely to be the supporters of the law.
【解析】选B。

判断推理题。

resistance抵制。

(C)
City officials in South Jakarta must now cycle when performing their duties in a move to help combat pollution and global warming．“They can own a car and drive to work，but they must cycle when traveling to do their work，”South Jakarta city spokesman Ahmad Sotar said，“This is compulsory．Cycling will not only reduce pollution and global warming，but also promote good health．”He added，“The officials can also get to know their residents better since now they can cycle through the narrow alleyways to reach their home．They can’t do
South Jakarta, the second-largest of five cities making up greater Jakarta, covers an area of 145 square kilometers and has 2.5 million residents．Over 200 officials in 10 sub-districts and 65 villagers have been told about the new rule．Supporting the move，Meruyuny Village chief Selamat Aryadi said cycling would keep officials fit．“I don’t mind buying a bike．But there must be some exceptions. What will happen if there is a big fire or landslide which I need to attend urgently? I may be late for everything，”he said with a quiet laugh．“I think if it is raining heavily it makes more sense for me to drive．I just hope I won’t get caught, ”
Sotar said the officials do not have to cycle to attend to emergency calls．“But it is no excuse to say they are too old and sick to cycle．That means they are also too old and sick to perform their duties so they should be replaced，”he said. “We will ask the residents to be our eyes and ears and tell us if the officials cycle or drive, ”Sotar
66. The underlined word “combat”in the first paragraph most probably means _______ ．

(D)
Imagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion—a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate. Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation. People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial. They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments. Society would soon
disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide
help and support. Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds (关系) among members of groups. Society’s economic underpinnings (支柱) would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive to work. In fact, there would be no incentives of any kind, for as we will see, incentives imply a capacity to enjoy them.
In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instruments of our survival and adaptation. Emotions
structure the world for us in important ways. As individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions. True, we consider the length, shape, size, or texture, but an object’s physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us—hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful. We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society. Out of our emotional experiences with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are “good” and others are “bad”, and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life—from what foods we eat and what clothes we
wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept. In fact, society uses our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty morality, pride shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself. It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal penal (刑法的) system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts.
71. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
A. People would not be able to tell the texture of objects.
B. People would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful to them.
C. $10 million is equal to $10 in a world without emotions.
D. There would be full of lies, arguments and violence.
【解析】选B。

细节理解题。

A项第一段未提及。

第一段中“. . . since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, ”并没表达$10 million等于$10的意思，C项是对该句话的曲解。

通过“a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate”可知D项是错误答案。

72. It can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation of society is dependent on ______ .
A. the ability to make money
B. the capacity to work
C. the stimulus to work
D. the categorizations of our emotional experiences
【解析】选C。

推理判断题。

从第一段“since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive to work. In fact, there would be no incentives of any kind, for as we will see, incentives imply a capacity to enjoy them.”可知人们工作的积极性是需要“incentives = stimulus”来调动的。

73. Emotions are significant for man’s survival and ad aptation because________ .
A. they provide the means by which people view the size or shape of objects
B. they are the basis for the social feeling of agreement by which society is maintained
C. they encourage people to perform dangerous achievements
D. they produce more love than hate among people
【解析】选B。

细节理解题。

人类对事物的形状大小的认知并不来源于情感，所以A项存在错误。

根据第二段末句“It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, ”可知是社会利用情感让人们去从事危险事情，而非情感鼓励人类这么去做，C实属偷梁换柱。

D项文中并未表达该意。

74. Why are the emotional aspects of an object more important than its physical aspects?
A. They help society use its members for profit.
B. They encourage us to perform important tasks.
C. They help to perfect the legal and penal system.
D. They help us adapt our behaviors to the world surrounding us.
【解析】选D。

细节理解题。

通过第二段“In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instruments of our survival and adaptation. ”可知情感可以帮助我们适应环境。

75. What is the text mainly about?
A. People could only live in a world with emotions.
B. People would always do bad things in the emotionless world.
C. Emotions are very important in the world.
D. Emotions structure the world for us in important ways.
【解析】选C。

主旨归纳题。

第一段的描述向人们展示没有感情的世界有多么的可怕，第二段进一步说明事物的情感方面比其自然方面要重要得多。

由此可知本文主要讲情感的重要性。

【参考答案】
The poem reminded me of my childhood! Every time I read the poem, the emotions crowded in my mind. The farmers devoted all their lives to the agriculture field. In spite of the hot weather, they insisted on hoeing their fields, letting the sweat keep dripping into the soil.
After reading the poem, I think we should value the life that we have. We are accustomed to enjoying the comfortable life. So sometimes we can’t understand how hard farmers are. As a matter of fact, every grain of our meals comes from hard toil.
Not only should we treasure the food for our meals but also we should study hard. Only in this way can we appreciate the farmers and our parents. Common Progress Please Criticize。
