[解析] an all-out effort意为“全方面的努力”，effort前面要冠词，如：make an effort; food and drug safety译作“食品与药物安全”，是泛指，不需要冠词。

(D)22. To her disappointment, what she had devoted herself to in nothing but failure.
A. resulting
B. results
C. has resulted
D. resulted
[解析] result是主句的谓语动词，根据时态需要，要用一般过去式。

A. they
B. those

D. people
[解析] 此题考查代词与从句连接词的用法，其中those做主语，who引导定语从句，修饰前面的代词those。

—I’m afraid you can’t get there by boat.
A. more than

away the protestants with tear gas.
A. from which
B. that
C. where D what
[解析] 此题考查定语从句连接词。

B. haven’t you; had been
C. needn’t you; was
D. mustn’t you; am
[解析] 此题中的附加疑问句是针对“You must have stayed up late last night”来问的，所以要问“didn’t you?”。

(B)33. Would you please stop chatting? It’s time we some serious work.
A. got over
B. got down to

D. got on
[解析] 此题考查动词短语辨析。

A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a boy was walking around the shiny new car, 36 it. “Is this your car, Mister?”he asked. Paul nodded.“My brother gave it to me for Christmas.”The boy was surprised.“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you anything? How I wish…”He hesitated.
37 Paul knew what he was going to 38 . He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said 39 Paul all the way down to his heels. “I wish,”the boy went on, “That I could be a 40 like that.”Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively(冲动地) he added, “Would you like to 41 in my car?”“Oh yes, I’d love that.”
After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes 42 and said, “Mister, would you mind 43 in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his 44 that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong 45 “Will you stop 46 those two steps are?”the boy asked. He
ran 47 the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming 48 . He was 49 his little crippled(跛足的) brother. He 50 him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.
“There she is, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for 51 and it didn’t cost him a cent. And 52 I’m going to give you one just like it… then you can see 53 all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what 55 meant when he said:“It is more blessed to give…”

[解析] wish for“渴求”，符合上下文。

(A)44. A. neighbors B. brother C. classmate D. friends

(D)45. A. indeed B. in the end C. then D. again
[解析] 之前Paul已经判断错了，而这是第二次错，所以要选“again”。

第三部分阅读理解（共两节，共40分）
第一节选择题（共17小题；每小题2分，共34分）
阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was feasted by Russian media on Sunday for saving a television crew from an attack by a Siberian tiger in the wilds of the Far East.
Putin apparently saved the crew while on a trip to a national park to see how researchers monitor the tigers in the wild.
Just as Putin was arriving with a group of wildlife specialists to see a trapped Amur tiger, it escaped and ran towards a nearby camera crew, the country’s main television station said. Putin quickly shot the beast and calmed it with a tranquilizer gun.
“Vladimir putin not only managed to see the giant predator up close but also saved our television crew too,”a presenter on Russia television said at the start of the main evening news. The 55-year-old former KGB spy, who cultivated a hero image during his eight years as the Kremlin chief, was shown striding through the woods in his desert boots before grappling with the tiger.
He helped measure the Amur tiger’s teeth before placing a satellite transmitter around the neck of the beast, which can weigh up to 450 kg and measure around three meters from nose to the tip of the tail.
Fewer than 400 Amur tigers—also known as Siberian, Ussuri or Manchurian tigers—are believed to survive in the wild, most of them in Russia and some in China.
Putin thanked Western researchers for being involved in programs to save the Amur tigers. “First of all, we must thank our colleagues, American and European colleagues for being involved with this during a difficult time for Russia when no one was paying any attention to this,”Putin said.
Putin last year made it into glossy magazines across the world by wearing combat trousers and baring(裸露) his muscle for photographers while on a fishing trip in the Yenisei river.
(C)56. Together with some specialists Putin went to the national park in order to .
A. save the crew who were in danger
B. see the trapped tiger
C. find out how the research is going on
D. film the tigers’ life in the wild
[解析] 从第二段可以判断出，Putin去国家公园的目的是去考查研究的进展情况。

(B)57. According to the passage, which of the statements is CORRECT about Putin?
A. Putin helped bring the tiger back to the cage.
B. Putin first became president when he was 47.
C. Putin used to be the head of KGB.
D. Putin has already retired and now is visiting the national park.
[解析] 这是一个细节题。

从第四段中…during his eight years as the Kremlin chief这句话我们可以推算出Putin当选总统应该是在47岁时。

(A)58. The underlined word is similar to the word “”in meaning.
A. developed
B. trained
C. possessed
D. formed
[解析] cultivated的意思与developed接近，意思是“培养”。

(D)59. We can infer from the passage that .
A. Putin is always followed by some journalists from glossy magazines
B. Putin has a boat especially for finishing
C. the photographer always follows him even when he has a holiday
D. sometimes the glossy magazines choose the political celebrities as their selling point
[解析] 从最后一段可以看出，Putin去年登上了八卦杂志的封面，我们可以推测即便是政坛名人也会成为八封杂志的卖点。

C
For Senior 3 students, choosing which college to attend can be the most exciting and thrilling time in their entire school lives. This is also true for an American girl named Melanie in the film, College Road Trip, which was released in the US on March 7.
Melanie’s dad, James Porter, is the chief of police for a Chicago suburb(市郊). Incredibly security obsessed(困扰), he wants Melanie to attend nearby Northwestern University, where she’s already been accepted. But Melanie, 17, really wants to go to Georgetown in Washington, D.C., where she’s been wait-listed.
When she gets an unexpected interview, she decides to take a road trip with a few close female friends. Melanie believes it is her first step toward adulthood.
But despite the fact that this trip is “girls only”, James isn’t comfortable with the prospect of his little princess exploring the world without him. He wants to protect her.
James joins the girls and hopes he can convince her to go to Northwestern. While Melanie’s father only has the best of intentions, his presence leads to an endless series of comic encounters.
After following their faulty GPS device deep into the backwoods, James and Melanie discover her little brother and his pet pig have been hiding in the spare tire compartment(隔间). What should be a simple tire change results in the expensive car rolling down a mountain, forcing them to hike to a nearby hotel. There the pig ruins an outdoor wedding
reception after eating an entire bag of coffee beans.
All these disasters add spice to their trip while along the way a father and a daughter finally get the chance to really talk to each other.
The film explores the parent-child relationship in a comic way. The discrepancy(不同) between how close James thinks he is to Melanie and how little he actually knows of her plans makes us laugh first and then think.
All parents, whether they have college students or not, can relate to the bittersweet realization that their kids are growing up. Like what Melanie and James have done in the film, we all can find the delicate balance between staying connected and letting go.
(C)64. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. It’s unclear whether Melanie could be accepted by Northwestern University.
B. Northwestern University isn’t so famous as the university in Washington D.
C.
C. Melanie father prefers her to stay not too far away from him.
D. There is no hope that Melanie will be accepted by the university in Georgetown.
[解析] 从文章第二段，我们可知Northwestern University就在他们家附近，所以Melanie的爸爸希望她就在Northwestern University读大学，而不要去太远的Georgetown in Washington, D.C.。

(D)65. We can infer from the passage that .
A. their car rolled down the mountain, ruining the wedding reception
B. a hotel was destroyed by Melanie’s brother and his pet pig
C. the girls had to give up their trip because of the incidents on the way
D. Melanie and her father got to understand each other better after so many encounters
[解析] 我们可以在文章倒数第三段a father and a daughter finally get the chance to really talk to each other找到信息，经过一些冲突后，Melanie和她的爸爸经过了交谈，他们彼此有了更好的理解。

(A)66. The writer holds a(n) attitude towards James Porter’s way of treating her daughter’s
choice.
A. negative
B. positive
C. subjective
D. optimistic
[解析] 从文章中可以看出作者对电影中父亲对女儿的做法持否定态度。

(B)67. The main purpose of the passage is to .
A. introduce the newly-released film
B. call on parents to learn to balance the relationship with their children
C. tell a story which happened between an American girl and her father
D. explore the differences in parent-child relationship between the west and the east
[解析] 这是一个主旨题，从文章的结尾…we all can find the delicate balance between staying connected and letting go 可以看出本文的目的是呼吁家长要学会平衡和孩子的关系。

D
Australian scientists say an organic compound(复合物) used by Indian women to paint dots or bindi on their foreheads could hold the key to a breakthrough in cancer treatment. Rose Bengal was first used in the early 1900s as a dye for food, textiles and cosmetics. But now it is proving to be a useful weapon in the fight against skin cancer.
Television advertisements constantly warn of the dangers of overexposure to the fierce sun. Among them is the possibility of the disease melanoma(黑瘤), a type of skin cancer. More than 1,200 Australians die every year from the disease.
Initial trials of a solution of Rose Bengal injected into some melanoma cells have had a 75 percent success rate in controlling the disease. Professor John Thompson, the director of the Melanoma Unit at the University of Sydney, says this organic dye could become a powerful cancer-fighting treatment.
“We believe it works by getting into the tumor(肿块) cells and causing them to self-destruct. But the exact mechanism by which it works is not totally clear. It’s not useful for people who have a primary melanoma. The treatment of primary melanoma is surgical excision(切除),”he said. “It’s useful to inject tumors for people who have recurrences; when the primary treatment has failed and when recurrence in the area, or at more distant sites has occurred.”
About 90 percent of Australians who develop melanoma survive thanks to early diagnosis and treatment. If left untreated, however, the disease can be fatal.
Convincing younger people in Australia about the dangers of overexposure to the sun is a battle campaigners are
constantly waging.
Veronica Manock, a 21-year-old student, had two major operations to remove a cancerous tumor from her leg.
“I’ve had a lot of friends who just said ‘I thought it was just, you know, I’ll get a mole(痣) cut out and that’s it’, whereas I don’t think people realize how much danger they’re putting themselves into and how easy it is to stop something like this happening to you just from doing little things,”said Marock.
Other researchers in Australia are investigating genetic treatments to skin cancer. There is a pressing need for such research to produce effective treatments. Australians, the majority of whom are fair-skinned(浅肤色的), are four times more likely to develop a melanoma than people in Canada, the United States or Great Britain.
(D)68. The information about Rose Bengal is wrong EXCEPT that .
A. it is no longer used as a dye
B. it is used to cure skin cancer
C. it is a special kind of rose planted in Australia
D. it can be effective in treating skin cancer
[解析] 在第一段和第三段可以看出Rose Bengal只在治疗中起到作用，并不能治愈皮肤癌。

(B)69. The main reason for Australia’s high rate in skin cancer is .
A. the overuse of cosmetics
B. overexposure to the sun
C. the color of their skin
D. the lack of prevention
[解析] 细节题。

从文章第二段可知澳大利亚人容易患皮肤癌的原因是他们晒太阳太多的缘故。

(B)70. From the passage we can learn that .
A. skin cancer is incurable
B. some young people seem to know little about the danger of overexposure to the sun
C. about ninety percent of Australians are likely to develop melanoma
D. all moles should be cut out to prevent skin cancer
[解析] 这是一个细节题，在文章第六段可以找到答案。

(D)71. According to Professor John Thompson, the best way to deal with primary cancer is .
A. injecting tumors
B. taking some medicine
C. getting genetic treatment
D. having surgical excision
[解析] 从第四段中The treatment of primary melanoma is surgical excision.中我们可以看出对于早期的皮肤癌的治疗就是进行外科切除。

(A)72. The passage was intended for .
A. general readers
B. people who like taking sun-bathing
C. doctors and researchers
D. children at school
[解析] 这篇文章并没有单纯从医学角度介绍，而是从日常生活等方面进行讲述。

所以这篇文章是写给一般的读者的。

第二节简答题（共3小题；每小题2分，满分6分）
阅读下面短文，根据第73至75小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。

Yesterday about 40 representatives of the local disabled community paid a visit to the Paralympics Village to meet with Paralympics champions.
Many of them actually work as volunteers for the Beijing Paralympics. Ma Qiaoyun, once an athlete, is now running a chain of four massage parlors. As a blind masseur, she serves the Paralympics athletes during the Games.
“As a disabled person, I think participation is very important. And furthermore, we should overcome ourselves to do better. During the Beijing Paralympics, over 60 disabled people including myself work as volunteers in the Paralympics Village or other venues.
