[答案]
看到一只老鼠让另外一只老鼠咬住自己的尾巴并为它带路后，几位政府官员无比感动，浮想联翩。

可是一个天真的孩子提出的问题却让他们哑口无言。

36．C。

由于老鼠躲藏在洞穴中，所以这些政府官员使用烟熏的办法“迫使”它们出来。

37．A。

此处提到官员们认为所有的老鼠都已经逃跑了，再结合上一段第一句前半部分内容可知此时他们开始了“清理”工作。

38．A。

众所周知，老鼠见到人后会马上逃跑，可是这两只老鼠却没有这么做，所以让人感到非常“奇怪”。

C项表示“滑稽的”，语意不恰当。

39．D。

这两只老鼠没有立刻“逃走”。

run away“逃跑”；take away“拿走”；give away“分发”；walk away“走开”。

40．B。

由本段第二、三句内容可知，这两只老鼠从洞穴中出来且没有逃走，故是一只老鼠在洞穴的“出口”附近追逐另外一只老鼠。

41．D。

根据下一段中的bite on his tail可知，其中一只老鼠试图咬住另外一只老鼠的“尾巴”。

42．A。

当时每个人都感到困惑，所以“走”近去看个究竟。

D项的主语一般是复数人称，因此不恰当。

43．B。

本句后一分句提到其中的一只老鼠尽力让那只看不到东西的老鼠咬住自己的尾巴以便帮它逃走，由此可知填blind“瞎的”。

disabled“残疾的”太笼统；de af“聋的”；mute“哑的”，显然错误。

44．A。

由上段首句中的take a look可推知，此处为“目击”了眼前发生的事情。

B、D两项是不及物动词，语法不正确。

45．D。

本句后半部分提到每个人都在深思，由此可知众人都不说话了。

indifference“漠不关心的，冷淡的”，显然不符合语境。

46．C。

此处that用来代指不可数名词relationship。

47．B。

其他人认为这位以色列人的话很有道理，make sense“有道理，有意义；行得通”。

48．A。

此处与最后一段中间部分的loyalty相呼应，loyalty to parents“对父母忠诚”。

49．C。

其他人思考了一段时间，感觉这种解释更“有道理”。

visible“可见的”；sensitive“敏感的”；explainable“可说明的，可解释的”，都不符合所给语境。

50．D。

他只是一个孩子，思想不如成年人深邃，想法非常“天真”。

simple－minded“头脑简单的”，为贬义词；warm－hearted“热心肠的”；hard－headed“头脑冷静的”。

51．B。

他双手托着下巴显然是在思考，再结合他所问的问题可知这个孩子对大人的话感到非常“困惑不解”。

52．A。

此处与上文提到的众人关于这两只老鼠间的relationship的讨论相呼应。

最后一段的后半部分也是提示。

53．C。

根据本段后半部分中的内容可知当时的气氛“凝固”，众人都不敢回答孩子的问题。

D项表示“浓缩”，语意不恰当。

54．D。

所有人都“羞愧地”低下了头，不敢回答孩子提出的问题。

前三项分别表示“绝望地”“震惊地”“惊奇地”。

55．A。

此处的establish“建立”表示的是抽象含义，与最后一句中的based相呼应。

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
(·宜昌高三调研)
A study has showed that the brain makes decisions about 10 seconds before a person realize it.
Experts involved in the study said that looking at brain activity while making a decision, they could predict the choices the subjects would make, before they realized that they had made a decision. Lead researcher John－Dylan Haynes, a neuroscientist(神经学家) at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, said that the new findings called into questions for
“consciousness”of decisions that people make, and might even challenge ideas as to how “free” people are to make a decision at a particular moment.
“We think our decisions are conscious, but these data show that consciousness_is_just_the_tip_of_the_iceberg，” Nature magazine quoted(引用) him as saying. Thinking the results “quite dramatic”， Frank Tong of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, said that 10 seconds is “a lifetime” in terms of brain activity.
During the study, the brains of 14 v olunteers were imaged as they performed a decision－making task. The subjects had two buttons before them, each to be operated by a different hand, which they could press when they felt the urge to. They were simultaneously(同时地) shown a stream of letters, which appeared on a screen at half－second intervals(间隔). The volunteers had to remember which letter was showing when they decided to press their button.
Upon analysis of the data, the researchers realized that the earliest signal they could catch started seven seconds before the volunteers reported having made their decision. Given the delay of a few seco nds in the imaging, they reckoned(估计) that the brain activity could have begun about ten seconds before the conscious decision. The researchers showed that the signals were picked up from a region(区域) called the frontopolar cortex(脑额极皮层), which is located at the front of the brain, immediately behind the forehead.
While writing about the observations made during the research in his study report, Haynes said that the frontopolar cortex might be the brain region where decisions are started. He also showed that the next step in the research would be to speed up the data analysis so as to enable his team to predict people’s choices their brains would make them.
56．The passage tells us that ______.
A. we are aware of our whole process of decision－making
B. people don’t make decisions until they realize it
C. experts have no way to tell what decision one will make
D. the decision－making process starts before it is made
57．The underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph. 2 probably refers to ______.
A. the topic of the experts’ research paper
B. the scientific subjects that the experts were studying
C. the things that experts don’t know clearly
D. the volunteers that the experts worked on for their research
58．The underlined sentence “consciousness is just the tip of the iceberg” in Paragraph. 3 means that ______.
A. our decision－making is conscious
B. the data contains a lot of information besides consciousness
C. consciousness is the major part of the data
D. 10 seconds is “a lifetime” in terms of brain activity
59．The final purpose of the research ______.
A. is not stated clearly in the passage
B. is not acknowledged by experts
C. is to show where decision－making starts
D. is to analyze the data picked up
60．The passage implies that ______.
A. the research has been completed
B. the research was conducted by two experts
C. the decision－making process lasts only about 10 seconds
D. we may predict what decisions people will make in the future
[答案]
研究表明，人在作出决定之前，大脑已经提前作出了决定。

有关专家称，通过观察被测试者在作决定过程中大脑的活动，能够预测出他们将要作出的决定。

56．D。

推理判断题。

根据文章第一句话可判断D项正确。

57．D。

猜测名词的指代题。

根据文章第二段第一句“从事这项研究的专家称，(通过)观察(被测试者)作决定过程中大脑的活动，他们能够预测出他们将要作出的决定”可推知，此处的画线名词subjects就是被测试者，即第四段中的14 volunteers。

58．B。

句意猜测题。

结合语境“我们认为人在作出决定时是有知觉的，但是我们得到的数据却显示意识只是冰山一角”可知，consciousness is just the tip of the iceberg 的意思是：从试验数据中专家获取了意识之外的更多的信息。

59．A。

推理判断题。

文章最后一句只是提到了“He also showed that the next step in the research would be to speed up the data analysis so as to enable his team to predict people’s choices as their brains would make them.”，因此我们无法得知该试验的最终目的。

60．D。

推理判断题。

文章的最后一句表明：未来科学家有可能进一步揭开大脑的奥秘，预测人们会作出什么样的决定。

One kilogram—that was all it took to crown the world’s strongest man.
German weightlifter Matthias Steiner pulled ahead of Russian rival Evgeny C higishev to win the Olympic men’s 105 kg weightlifting gold medal on Tuesday.
Steiner lifted a total of 461 kg, 203 kg in the snatch(抓举) and 258 kg in the clean and jerk(挺举), to beat Chigishev by a single kilogram. The German won the battle of giants in hi s last lift, winning his country’s first gold medal in the event at this year’s Games.
Steiner’s winning lift was also the last effort of the sport for this Olympics at which China earned eight of the 15 golds.
Steiner was born in Austra and represented his country of birth at the Athens Olympics f our years ago, placing seventh in the lower 105 kg category, but had a falling out with Austria’s weightlifting federation afterwards.
He applied for German citizenship in 2005 and got married, but his career went into deep freeze as he could not compete without a passport. He finally obtained the document last January.
The German, who turns 26 on Monday, had come to these Games on a mission(使命) to win the title for his wife Susann, who died in a car accident in July last year. The German team said he used the personal tragedy to motivate himself to win the gold medal.
Chigishev was the strongest in the snatch session Tuesday. He kissed his fists after a 210－kg lift that gave him a 7－kg advantage over fourth－placed Steiner going into the second event－the clean and jerk. He lit out a victorious roar(吼叫) after clearing 250 kg in his last lift, but the glory was short－lived as Steiner stunned(使瞠目) everyone with his final, winning clean and jerk effort.
Steiner had finished seventh in the 2004 Olympics in the 105 kg weight category, and took the gold in the 2008 European Championship＋105 kg snatch competition, bronze in the clean and jerk and silver overall, with a total weight of 446 kg.
World champion Viktors Scerbatihs of Latvia settled for bronze.
61．Steiner won the gold by lifting ______.
A. 105 kg
B. 461 kg
C. 258 kg
D. 210 kg
62．Four years ago at the Athens Olympics Steiner represented ______.

B. Germany
C. Austria
D. Russia
63．What is the best title of the passage?
A. Narrow Victory
B. Pitiful Failure
C. Gold Medal for His Dearest Wife
D. Strongest Man of the World
[答案]
文章介绍了世界举重冠军Steiner的有关情况。

61．B。

根据第三段内容可知，他获得了冠军，成绩是461kg。

62．C。

根据第五段第一句话可得出答案。

63．C。

本文主要讲述的是一位举重运动员Steiner的事迹，结合文章倒数第四段内容可知，他成绩的取得是为了纪念死去的妻子。

因此C项更能表达文章的意思。

(2008·山东)
Melissa Poe was 9 years old when she began a campaign for a cleaner environment by writing a letter to the then President Bush. Through her own efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards across the country.
The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids For A Cleaner Environment (Kids F．A.C.E.) in 1989. There are now 300,000 members of Kids F．A.C.E. worldwide and is the world’s largest youth environm ental organization.
Poe has also asked the National Park Service to carry out a “Children’s Forest” project in every national park. In 1992, she was invited as one of only six children in the world to speak at the Earth Summit in Brazil as part of the Voices of the Future Program. In 1993, she was given a Caring Award for her efforts by the Caring Institute.
Since the organization started, Kids F．A.C.E. members have distributed and planted over 1 million trees! Ongoing tree－planting projects include Kid’s Yards—the creation of backyard wildlife habitats (栖息地) and now Kids F．A.C.E. is involved in the exciting Earth Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping.
“Starting the club turned out to be a way to help people get involved with the environment. Club members started doing things like recycling, picking up litter and planting trees as well as inviting other kids to join their club.”
“We try to tell kids that it’s not OK to be lazy，” she explains. “You need to start being a responsible, environmentally friendly person now, right away, before you become a resource－sucking adult.”
64．Kids F．A.C.E. is ______.

(·东北三校联考)
If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high－class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, a nd then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration(登记) card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take_“petty_advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”．
68．The underlined words in this passage means “______”．
A. be ready to help others
B. make good use of one’s frie nds
C. be a little ahead of others
D. gain something at other’s expense
69．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first paying your fare.
B. In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if you’re living in the hotel.
C. The bosses in Finland pay the employees according to the registration of their working hours.
D. The workers are always honest with their working hours.
70．We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. the Finnish society is of very high moral(道德) level
B. there are many loopholes in everyday life in Finland
C. in Finland, most taxi drivers will not charge you anything
D. everyone in Finland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves
71．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Life in Finland
B. A Society with “Foolish” People
C. What a Life
D. Honest Accounts of the Finns
[答案]
芬兰真是一个“愚蠢”的国度！乘客只需找个借口就可以随时下车而不必付给出租车司机任何费用；旅馆的顾客只要出示登记卡就能够和朋友免费就餐，哪怕是早已过时的登记卡；雇主会按照雇工说出的时间支付报酬。

奇怪的是，芬兰人总是诚实守信。

68．D。

词义猜测题。

结合第二段、第三段和第四段中提到的三个事例以及本句前半部分的内容可推知芬兰日常生活中的诸多漏洞使芬兰成为喜欢“占别人便宜”者的天堂。

69．C。

细节判断题。

第三段中提到旅馆中的顾客可以在旅馆的餐厅免费就餐，下一段中提到雇主只是根据雇工说出的工作时间支付报酬，由此可判断C项不正确。

70．A。

推理判断题。

上文提到芬兰的日常生活中存在诸多漏洞，给了喜欢贪图便宜的人很多可乘之机，再结合最后一段后半部分的内容可知芬兰人诚实守信，由此可推知A项正确。

71．B。

标题判断题。

文章的第一段引出了文章的话题，是文章的中心段，foolish加了引号表示否定，所以B项最能概括文章大意，而且十分新颖。

(·南通调研测试)
The thing is, my luck’s always been ruined. Just look at my name: Jean. Not Jean Marie, or Jeanine, or Jeanette, or even Jeanne. Just Jean. Did you know in France, they name boys Jean? It’s French for John. And okay, I don’t live in France. But still, I’m basically a girl named John. If I lived in France, anyway.
This is the kind of luck I’ve had since Mom filled out my birth certificate. So it wasn’t any big surprise to me when the cab driver didn’t help me with my suitcase. I’d already had to tolerate arriving at the airport to find no one there to greet me, and then got no answer to my many phone calls, asking where my aunt and uncle were. Did they not want me after all? Had they changed their minds? Had they heard about my bad luck—all the way from Iowa—and decided they didn’t want any of it to rub_off_on them?
So when the cab driver, instead of getting out and helping me with my bags, just pushed a little button so that the trunk(汽车后备箱) popped open a few inches, it wasn’t the worst thing that had ever happened to me. It wasn’t even the worst thing that had happened to me that day.
According to my mom, most brownstones in New York City were originally single －family homes when they w ere built way back in the 1800s. But now they’ve been
divided up into apartments, so that there’s one—or sometimes even two or more families—per floor.
Not Mom’s sister Evelyn’s brownstone, though. Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted Gardiner own all four floors of their brownstone. That’s practically one floor per person, since Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted only have three kids, my cousins Tory, Teddy, and Alice.
Back home, we just have two floors, but there are seven people living on them. And only one bathroom. Not th at I’m complaining. Still, ever since my sister Courtney discovered blow－outs, it’s been pretty frightful at home.
But as tall as my aunt and uncle’s house was, it was really narrow—just three windows across. Still, it was a very pretty townhouse, painted gray. The door was a bright, cheerful yellow. There were yellow flower boxes along the base of each window. These flowers were obviously newly planted, since it was only the middle of April, and not quite warm enough for them.
It was nice to know that, even in a sophisticated(世故的) city like New York, people still realized how homey and welcoming a box of flowers could be. The sight of those flowers cheered me up a little.
Like maybe Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted just forgot I was arriving today, and hadn’t deli berately failed to meet me at the airport because they’d changed their minds about letting me come to stay.
Like everything was going to be all right, after all.
Yeah. With my luck, probably not.
I started the steps to the front door of 326 East Sixty－Ninth Street, and then realized I couldn’t make it with both bags and my violin. Leaving one bag on the sidewalk, I dragged the other up the steps with me. Maybe I took the steps a little too fast, since I nearly tripped and fell flat on my face on the sidewalk. I managed to catch myself at the last moment by grabbing some of the fence the gardeners had put up...
72．Why did the author go to New York?

[答案]
76．hardly→hard。

hardly“几乎不”，语境为“雨下得很大”，故应将hardly改为hard。

77．big前加a。

a big river“一条大河”。

可数名词前通常带冠词，这里表泛指，用a。

78．was→were。

前面的主语为fields，依照主谓一致原则应把was改为were。

79．√
80．house→houses。

any of后的名词应为复数，因此把house改为houses。

81．that→which。

句中的逗号表明后面为非限制性定语从句，因此把that改为which。

82．去掉of。

介词of多余，因此去掉of。

83．have→had。

主句谓语部分were very sorry to lose为过去时，而拥有木桥是之前持续的状态，因此把have改为had。

84．so→but。

前后句为转折关系，因此把so改为but。

85．than→as。

“我们”对新桥没有像老板那样熟悉了，句中使用了not so...as...句式，因此把than改为as。

Hi,_Grown－up，
As_a_student_of_your_age,_I_understand_your_situation. The problem you are facing is common among our teenagers. However, it should be wise not to do that may hurt her feelings. Here are a few suggestions.
First, it’s advisable to talk more with your mom. Heart－to－heart talks help you understand each other better. They are also opportunities to let her know your ideas of and attitudes toward many things.
Second, you should learn to do your own things well, proving to your mom that you are already a “grown－up”. It’s even better if you could share more of the housework, such as cleaning, washing and cooking.
Hope my ideas will work.。
