3.In the UK, most children have their lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner-a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed(包装的) lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.
Often parents know what their children want. Cath, a mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches because they say they don’t like to have school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning.”However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said, “My daughters always have school dinners.
I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make for them.”
But how healthy are school dinner s? Kaz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said, “Fizzy(起泡的) drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips.”
Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy food such as good stews and curries for the children instead.
So Jamie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun. Anna, a pupil, told us, “We used to have a fast food window where you got chips and coke, but they stopped that this year. There’s a salad restaurant, which is good, so it’s healthier than it was.”
【1】What does the underlined work “ them” refer to ?

A．Stews and curries.B．Burgers and pizzas.
C．Chips and fizzy drinks.D．Sandwiches and coke.
【3】What do the last two paragraphs(段落) show ?
A．There’s a salad restaurant in every school.
B．Salad is the only healthy food for students.
C．Schools have begun to cook healthier food.
D．The government doesn’t care about school dinners.
【4】What is the best title for this text?
A．Healthy Food.B．Unhealthy Food.C．Packed Lunches.D．School Dinners.
4.Butterflies are common all over the world but the ones in hot countries are usually bigger
and more brightly colored than those in cooler countries, and there are more different kinds. Usually the male butterfly is more brightly colored than the female. The females have bigger and heavier bodies, since they carry the eggs. The gay colors of the male help to attract the female and the duller colors of the female make them
less likely to be caught by enemies before they have laid their eggs.
Some butterflies have a bright pattern of colors on the upper surface of their wings which show when they fly, but when they rest on a tree or leaf, they close their wings. On the undersides of their wings there are green and brown markings which look like the tree or leaves. They are then difficult to see. The best example of this is the Dead Leaf Butterfly. Even its wings are closed, it looks exactly like a dead leaf. There are even marks that look
like the holes in a dead leaf. When a bird is chasing a butterfly, and it closes its wings, it seems to have disappeared completely.
Many butterflies have round marks on their wings that look like eyes. When they are
resting, and their wings are folded, these can’t be seen. When a bird sees one, and begins to attack it, the butterfly opens its wings. The bird thinks that it sees two eyes staring at it, and, frightened, it flies away.
【1】Which of the following is likely to be the most brightly colored?
A．A female in a hot country.B．Male in a cool country.
C．A male in a hot country.D．A dead leaf butterfly with wings closed.
【2】What does the underlined word “chasing”in the 2nd paragraph mean?
A．running after.B．looking after.C．leave for.D．stay with.
【3】What is one of the reasons that female butterflies are safer from enemies than male butterflies? A．Because they are bigger.
B．Because they are heavier.
C．Because they have colors that are not so bright.
D．Because they have marks that look like eyes.
【4】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The color of a male butterfly is always brighter than the female’s.
B．The Dead Leaf Butterfly has holes in its wings.
C．A lot of butterflies seem to have eyes on their wings.
D．In order to catch a butterfly, the bird always closes its wings.

【解析】Whitney是一个比较内向的女孩，在中学的时候，她几乎没有什么朋友。

上大学之后，来到一个新的环境里，她更加不知道怎样去交朋友。

但是在一节课上发生的事情，让她最终交到了朋友。

【1】句意：她有点害羞，不大说话。

speak说，表示动作，常跟语言做宾语；tell告诉；say说，强调内容；talk
谈话。

根据上句话Whitney didn't have a lot of friends可知，Whitney没有太多朋友，而且她有点害羞，因此与朋
友的交流少，故应选D。

【2】句意：她从来没有想过受欢迎，但是她真的想有一个人能一起分享秘密、一起笑。

but 但是，表示转折；
and 和，而且，表示并列；so 因此，所以；because因为。

根据句意可知，这两句话之间是转折的关系，故应选A。

【3】句意：然而，整个中学，她都没有找到很多的友谊。

friendship 友谊；knowledge 知识；money 钱；happiness幸福。

根据短文的第一句话There was a time when Whitney didn't have a lot of friends可知，Whitney
没有很多朋友，这一段都说的是Whitney在中学里交朋友的事，故应选A。

【4】句意：她就要去一个里面都是她不认识的人的房间，住在离家300英里远的一个城镇里。

like喜欢；want想要；know知道；tell告诉。

根据When it came time to go to college可知，Whitney去上大学了，而且下文也提到She had no idea ___5___ she was going to make friends in this new environment，这是一个新环境，所以宿舍里的人她都不认识，故应选C。

【5】句意：她不知道在这个新环境里她怎样去交朋友。

how 怎样；why为什么；when 什么时候；where在哪里。

根据句意可知，Whitney不知道怎样去交朋友，故应选A。

【6】句意：在上课的第一周，发生了一些事，永远地改变了Whitney的生活。

nothing 没什么事；anything任何事，用于否定句中；everything每件事；something一些事，用于肯定句中。

这句话是肯定句，故应选D。

【7】句意：在她的英语写作课上，每个人都要求去分享一些关于自己的事情。

asked 问，要求；taught 教，是teach的过去式；warned 警告；ordered命令。

根据文意可知，在课堂上，学生们被要求去做一件事，故应选A。

这个事不是老师教给学生的，是让学生分享自己的一些事情，所以B不对。

【8】句意：Whitney告诉每个人她的家在哪里，以及其他一些在这样的情境下学生们都会分享的事情。

the
other 其他的，另一个；any other其他的任何一个；others 代词，其他人或物；the others另一部分。

根据句意Whitney told everyone where she called home可知，Whitney告诉了关于她的家乡的事情，另外还有别的一些事，空后面things是名词，这个空应填形容词，故应选A。

【9】句意：对于每个学生来说最后一个问题总是一样的：你上课的目标是什么？different 不同的；similar相似的；same 一样的，相同的；difficult困难的。

根据文意可知，最后一个问题对每个学生来说都是一样的，故应选C。

【10】句意：大多数学生都说是取得好的成绩、通过考试或者是类似这样的事情，但是因为某些原因，Whitney 说了一些不一样的事。

as作为；with和…一起；together 一起；like喜欢；像。

根据句意可知，大多数学生的答案都是一样的，这里like表示像那样的事情，是一个介词，故应选D。

【11】句意：她说她的目标是交一个朋友。

classmate同学；friend 朋友；sister姐妹；brother兄弟。

根据上文
She had no idea ___5___ she was going to make friends in this new environment.可知，Whitney不知道怎样交
朋友，所以她的目标是交到一个朋友。

故应选B。

【12】句意：当所有的学生都安静地坐着的时候，一个学生来到Whitney身旁，伸出她的手，做自我介绍。

most
大多数；all 所有的；every每一个；each每一个。

根据句意one student came to Whitney可知，一个学生来到Whitney这里，其他所有的学生都安静地坐着，故应选B。

every不能跟介词of搭配。

其他两个选项意思也不对。

【13】句意：这个女孩问她是否能成为她的朋友。

when 什么时候；how 怎样；why为什么；if如果，是否。

根据
句意可知，这个女孩问Whitney她是否能成为她的朋友，这里是if引导的宾语从句。

故选D。

【14】句意：那是一个贯穿了整个大学的友谊，甚至延伸到了大学之后的很多年。

lasted 持续；made制造；broke 打破；had有，拥有。

根据句意可知，这句话说的是这份友谊持续了很长时间，故应选A。

【15】句意：Whitney了解到了寻求她想要的东西的力量，诚实和采取行动。

happy 快乐的；kind友好的，善良的；honest诚实的；strong强壮的。

根据文意可知，Whitney最后能找到朋友，是因为她很诚实，表达了她想交朋友
的愿望，故应选C。

点睛：这篇短文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Whitney是怎样交到朋友的。

完形填空考查学生们在具体语境中运用语言
的能力，这一题型比较难，既考查学生阅读理解的能力，也考查词汇运用的能力。

做题时，应先通读全文，掌握大意和作者的写作意图；根据上下文的意思和短文讲述的故事情节，进行合理的推理和判断；理顺文章的脉络，分析句子的结构、固定短语和搭配，以及文章前后的照应关系，还需要正确使用英语中的一些语法，如名词的单复数、动词的时态、形容词和副词形式等等。

最后还要再读短文，检查答案。

例如第3小题，根据这一段的内容可知，Whitney是一个比较内向的女孩，她没有太多朋友，所以这里应该选择跟交朋友相关的词汇，故选A；再例如第
11小题，Whitney的目标是什么？根据上文可以知道，她最想交一个朋友，所以应选B。

三、选词填空
Most people have their jobs. They go to work on weekdays. Some people are. Either they have very interesting jobs or they make a lot of money. Most people are not so lucky. Either their jobs are not very interesting or they don’t make【1】money. The most interesting jobs are often the most difficult. People spend a long time learning 【答案】much
【解析】句意：他们的工作或者是没有趣，或者是不能挣太多钱。

much许多，修饰不可数名词。

根据上句话
Either they have very interesting jobs or they make a lot of money可知，有一些人的工作或者很有趣，或者能挣
很多钱，这里是转折的关系，叙述的是相反的情况。

money是不可数名词，故用much修饰。

【2】to do them. Doctors study for at least six
【答案】how
【解析】句意：人们花费很长的时间学习怎样去做这些工作。

how怎样，如何。

根据上句话的意思可知，有趣的
工作经常很困难，所以人们要学习怎样去做。

这里是用疑问词how后面跟动词不定式形式，在句中做宾语。

【3】after finishing school.
Some young people have interesting and high –pay jobs. Many young players do their work
【答案】years
【解析】句意：在从学校毕业之后，医生至少要学习六年。

years 是year的复数形式，表示很多年。

根据上句话
可知，人们要花费很多时间学习如何做工作，这里是举了医生这个工作的例子。

空前是six，故填复数形式。

【4】. Football and tennis stars are usually
【答案】successfully
【解析】句意：很多年轻的球类运动员做工作很成功。

successfully是副词形式，成功地，做状语，修饰这句话的
谓语动词do。

下文举了一些足球明星和网球明星的例子，那么他们的事业是很成功的。

【5】35 years old, Older people usually can’t play these sports very well. They can’t
【答案】under
【解析】句意：足球明星和网球明星通常都在35岁以下。

under在…下面，这里指年龄不超过35岁。

因为下文说到Older people usually can’t play these sports very well，年龄更大一些的人这些运动就做不好了。

故填under。

【6】fast enough. Golf , however, is a good sport for older people. Many golf players are quite old.
【答案】move
【解析】句意：他们不能足够快的移动。

move移动，是一个动词。

根据文意可知，如果人的年龄大了，他们就不
能去做网球或者足球这样的运动，因为他们的移动速度慢了。

空前有情态动词can’t，故填原形move。

【7】they can play it well.
Most people work
【答案】But
【解析】句意：很多高尔夫运动员的年龄都很大，但是他们都打得非常好。

but但是，是一个连词，表示转折。

根
据两句话的意思可知是转折的关系。

【8】 they are 55 or 60 years old. Then they retire(退休) and have a lot of
【答案】until
【解析】句意：大多数人都工作到他们55岁或者60岁的时候。

until直到…时候，是一个连词，引导时间状语从句。

【9】 time. Some people never retire. These people usually have very interesting jobs. Writers, artists, scientists and actors usually work until they die. Their work is
【答案】free
【解析】句意：然后他们就退休，有很多的空闲时间。

free自由的，空闲的，是一个形容词。

根据文意可知，当人们退休了之后，就有了很多空闲的时间，故填free。

【10】life .
【答案】their
【解析】句意：他们的工作就是他们的生活。

their他们的，是一个形容词性物主代词，修饰空后面的life。

根据文
意可知，their代指的是那些作家、艺术家、科学家和演员等。

点睛：这个题目是选词填空，给出10个单词，填到一篇短文中。

首先我们应快速浏览一下所给的单词，了解他们
的意思；然后读短文，了解大意，并初步选出正确的单词。

最后检查答案，确定单词的正确形式。

例如第1小题，上文说到有一些人的工作或者是有趣的，或者是能赚很多钱的，这里填的词much跟上文的a lot of同义。

再例如
第5小题，这一段介绍的是年龄对工作的影响，并举了足球、网球和高尔夫球运动员做例子。

因为下句话中提到Older people usually can’t play these sports well，所以这里有个年龄的限制，应该是35岁以下，故填under。

四、阅读理解

根据短文中Where can you go to enjoy red leaves? Of course the Fragrant Hills Park in Beijing is the best place to go可知，香山公园是欣赏红叶的好地方。

由此可知选D。

【2】What will you find in the Underwater World?

根据The Underwater World这篇短文中Here you will find different kinds of fishes and even some kinds of sharks可知，在水下世界你可以看到各种各样的鱼，甚至一些鲨鱼。

2.A woman came out of her house and saw three old men sitting in her front yard. She invited them in to have something to eat.
“We do not go into a house together,” they replied.
“Why is that?” she asked.
One of the old men pointed to his friends and explained: “His name is Wealth (财富),” he s aid and pointed to the other man: “He is Success, and I am Love. Now go in and discuss with your family which one of us you want in your home.”
The woman went in and told her husband what happened. Her husband was very happy. “How nice!” he said. “Let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!”
His wife disagreed. “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?”
Their daughter jumped in with her idea: “Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!”
“That’s a good idea,” said the husband to his wife. “Go out and invite Love to be our guest.”
The woman went out and invited Love in. Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two old men also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked them: “I only invited Love. Why are you coming in?”The old men replied together: “If you invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would stay outside. But since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth an d Success!”【1】The first time the woman came out, what were the three old men doing?
A．They were eating something.B．They were walking toward her house.
C．They were sitting in her front yard.D．They were asking for something to drink.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。

根据短文的开头A woman came out of her house and saw three old men sitting in her front
yard可知，这个女士出来的时候，有三个老人坐在她的前院里。

由此可知应选C。

【2】Who made the introduction to the woman?
A．Love.B．Success.C．Wealth.D．Love’s friend.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。

根据短文中One of the old men pointed to his friends and explained: “His name is Wealth (财富),” he said and pointed to the other man: “He is Success, and I am Love.可知，说这些话的人是Love，因此
是他对那个女士做了介绍，选A。

【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A．The man wanted to be successful.B．The woman loved money most.
C．There was no love in the family.D．The girl thought love was the most important.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。

根据短文中Their daughter jumped in with her idea: “Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!”可知，他们的女儿想邀请Love来到他们家，由此可知她觉得爱是最重要的，所以D对。

根据短文中Her husband was very happy. “How nice!” he said. “Let us invite Wealth可知，丈夫想邀
请的是财富；根据His wife disagreed. “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?”
可知女士想要的是成功；C选项在文章中并没有提到。

故其他三个选项都不对。

【4】What does the passage tell us?
A．You shouldn’t ask for more besides love.B．Love is the most important thing in the world.
C．You can’t get everything you need at one time.D．The more successful you are, the richer you’ll become.
【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。

根据文意可知，爱、成功和财富，你只能选择一个，那么你会选谁？短文中最后一句话Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!告诉我们，在有爱的地方，就有财富和成功，所以爱是世界上最重要的事情，故应选B。

点睛：这篇短文用了一个小故事告诉我们爱是这个世界上最重要的事情。

整篇短文内容不难，用了一种很有趣的形式，给我们讲述了一个重要的道理。

3.In the UK, most children have their lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner-a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed(包装的) lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.
Often parents know what their children want. Cath, a mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches because they say they don’t like to have school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning.”However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said, “My daughters always have school dinners.
I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make for them.”
But how healthy are school dinners? Kaz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said, “Fizzy(起泡的) drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips.”
Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy food such as good stews and curries for the children instead.
So Jamie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun. Anna, a pupil, told us, “We used to have a fast food window where you got chips and coke, but they stopped that this year. There’s a salad restaurant, which is good, so it’s healthier than it was.”
【1】What does the underlined work “ them” refer to ?
A．Susan’s daughters.B．School dinners.C．Susan’s sons.D．Sandwiches.。
