Here are some tips on how to learn English well. First, study English every day. It's important to study English every day. Study for thirty minutes every day instead of for two hours once a week. This habit of studying English every day will help keep English fresh for you. Second, study English using different methods. Don't just use one way to study English. Use different methods which will help all the parts of your brain. For example, if you are learning new vocabulary, you can create a word map, describe a picture, make a list and study that, or type out the words five times. Third, study English by finding some friends. There is nothing like having a few friends to study English together. You can practice the exercises together, have conversations in English together, and help each other with exercises you may not understand. Fourth, study English by choosing topics that interest you. One of the most important things to do is to study English using topics that you like. This will help encourage you to study harder. Last but not least, listen to radio programs in English. If you try the above ways, I'm sure you'll learn English well and find learning English is fun.
第二部分：基础知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
第一节：单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

21. Though________money，his parents managed to send him to university.
A．lack B．lacking of
C．lacking cked in
答案：C 本题考查非谓语动词作让步状语。

lack是及物动词，后接宾语money与其逻辑主语his parents之间是主动关系，所以要用现在分词作状语。

22. “As long as you pay________we won't charge for
delivery，” the shopkeeper said to the customer.
A．in advance B．in case
C．in fact D.in detail
答案：A 句意为：“只要您预先付款，我们就不收送货费。

”in advance“事先”；in case“假设，万一”；in fact“实际上”；in detail“详细地”。

23. I ________you an apology.I am so sorry to have put you through so much trouble.
A．owe B.demand
C．make D.accept
答案：A I owe you an apology.“我该向你道歉”。

后面的I am so sorry to have put you through so much trouble“很抱歉给你带来这么多麻烦”是提示信息。

24. We must be clearly________that English has been a must in international trade.
A．known B.aware
C．realised D．seen
答案：B be aware that...意思是“意识到……”，为固定句型。

realise用于sb.realise sth.或sth.be realised结构。

A和D两项用于该句式时应该用主动语态，所以正确答案为B项。

25. He never________to help those in trouble because he was a kind­hearted man.
A．handled B.hurried
C．hesitated D.rotated
答案：C 考查动词辨析。

句意为“帮助那些有困难的人，他从来都不犹豫，因为他是一个善良的人”。

handle“处理”；hurry“匆忙”；rotate“旋转”，都与语境不符。

26．________other good students, the teacher thinks Hank is ________ student.
A．Compared with; a most satisfied
B．Compared to; the most satisfied
C．Comparing to; the more satisfying
D．Comparing with; a more satisfying
答案：D compare与其逻辑主语the teacher为主动关系，所以应用现在分词形式；a more satisfying student “一个更令人满意的学生”。

27. As we all know，theory is based on practice and________
serves practice.
A．in nature B.in return
C．in turn D．in fact
答案：C 句意为：“我们都知道理论以实践为基础，反过来又为实践服务”。

in turn“反过来”；in nature“在自然界，实质上”；in return“作为报答”；in fact“实际上”。

28. It is difficult to________all the new ideas and developments in education.
A．be on the track of B.make tracks
C．cover the track of D.keep track of
答案：D 句意为“要时刻掌握教育方面所有新的思想和发展是困难的。

”be on the track of sb.“跟踪某人”；make tracks“匆匆离开”；cover the track of...“掩盖……的行踪或所做事情的痕迹”；keep track of“与……保持接触，跟上……的进程或进展”。

29. A healthy life is frequently thought to be________with the open countryside and homegrown food.
A．tied B.bound
C.involved
D.associated
答案：D 动词辨析。

此处表示“和……有关、有联系”的意思。

四个词中只有associate能够和介词with连用。

be associated with“和……有关系”。

30．To make himself________，the old professor had to
________his voice.
A．hear；raised B.heard；raise
C．heard；rise D.heard；raised
答案：B himself与hear之间是被动关系，用过去分词作宾补，表被动。

raise是及物动词，“提高，使升高”，因跟在不定式符号to后，故用原形。

31．I could hardly recognize your son.________I met him，he was only a little child.
A．From the moment B．For the first time
C．The first time D．The moment
答案：C 句意为“我几乎没认出你儿子。

我第一次见他时，他还只是个小孩子。

”the first time“第一次”，用做连词，引导时间状语从句。

for the first time多作状语，不能引导从句；the moment引导时间状语，表示“一……就……”；from the
moment“从那一刻起”。

32. I hate________when my parents argue.I need a happy home environment.
A．it B．that
C．these D.them
答案：A it在句中作形式宾语，代表连接副词引导的从句。

当enjoy/like/love/appreciate/hate/dislike等表示情绪的动词后接when或if从句时，通常要用it作形式宾语。

33. I'm not that much________computer games as Joe.He sits in front of the computer all the time.
A．after B．into
C．for D．onto
答案：B be into sth.＝be interested in sth.意思是“喜欢某事”，“对某事感兴趣”。

34. —I've passed the physics test.
—________you've been working so hard these days.
A．No problem B.No wonder
C．No question D．No doubt
答案：B 句意为：——“我已通过物理考试了。

”——“难怪你这些天学习那么努力。

”no problem“没问题”；no wonder“难怪”；no doubt“毫无疑问”。

35. You can't imagine what great trouble the doctor had
________the patient.
A．treat B.treating
C．to treat D.treated
答案：B 宾语从句是一个感叹句，正常语序为：the doctor had great trouble treating the patient。

It was her giggling that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn't all that funny.
Walking over to the offender, I asked for the __36__. Frozen, she refused to give it to me.
I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet __37__ between teacher and student. When she finally __38__it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn't draw it”．
It was a hand­drawn __39__ of me, teeth blackened and the words “I'm stupid” coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind, __40__ , was working angrily as I struggled not to __41__. I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture. It would do them some __42__ to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself __43__.
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how __44__ this was for me. I told them there must be a reason __45__ and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom.
As I __46__ the notes later，，many of them said something like, “I've got nothing __47__ you.” or “I'm sorry you were hurt.” Some kids said, “We're afraid of you.” But tw o notes, from the girls who I __48__ were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too __49__，too strict...
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of __50__ my students, I had begun commanding them to __51__. Where I thought I was driving them to success I was __52__ driving them away.
I had some apology to do. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one __53__ by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for __54__.
This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it
does enlarge the __55__.
一次令人不愉快的玩笑让作者意识到自己对学生的严加管教实际上背离了自己的初衷，他们需要的是鼓励，而不是命令。

36．A. note B. advice
C. reason
D. help
答案：A 女孩儿咯咯的笑声吸引了作者的注意，作者认为记笔记没有那么可笑，就向“冒犯者”要“笔记”。

上文的“Note taking”是线索提示。

37．A. battle B. competition
C. argument
D. conversation
答案：A 她拒绝把笔记交给作者，作者在等待，教室中所有的目光都转向了这场师生之间的沉默的“战争”，此处是比喻用法。

39．A. statue B. graph

下文41空后面的“...for drawing the picture，”也是线索提示。

C. therefore
D. besides
答案：B 作者努力平静地把学生给作者画的画像折叠起来，“但是”内心却感到非常气愤。

前后内容表示转折，故用however。

41．A. leave B. cry
C. explain
D. argue
答案：B 根据上一段中描述的画像的内容可知这是对作者的侮辱，所以作者看过之后努力不”哭”出来。

下文的“I sniffed in the back of the classroom”是线索提示。

42．A. good B. harm
C. favor
D. punishment
答案：A 作者认为这么做太过分，教训她们一顿会对她们有些“好处”。

do sb. good表示“对某人有好处”。

43．A. amused B. controlled

45．A. aside B. above
C. beneath

下文49空所在句揭示了画像背后的原因。

46．A. wrote B. finished

另外，下一段的开头部分也是线索提示。

D. for
答案：C 有些学生写道：我没有不喜欢你。

have sth.against sb.表示“不喜欢/不赞成某人”。

48．A. figured B. promised
C. concluded
D. confirmed
答案：A 此处与41空后面的“I figured...”相呼应，表示作者“认为”她们是画像背后的“真凶”。

figure表示“认为，认定(某事将发生或属实)”。

D. generally

A
The multi­million pound new Library of Birmingham(LoB) will be the most visible sign of the way the city is accepting the digitalization (数字化) of everyday life.
Set to open in 2013 ，the ￡188m LoB is already beginning to take shape next to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, with which it will share some equipment.
As digital media(媒介) is important to its_idea,_the project is already providing chances for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies.
Brian Gambles, the LoB project director，says it is about giving people the right tools for learning：“ The aim is to mix the physical with the digital, providing 24­hour services which can be used through many different ways. It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.”
The digital library will, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.
Even before the LoB is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual(虚拟的) LoB, designed by Baden, the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists. Not only have the public been able to learn about the LoB, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.
Two other small Birmingham­based digital companies are also working on the LOB projects. Substrate, a digital design company, is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality” project. It is about the use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of the LOB which is in the early stages of development. And The People's Archive is an online library of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in Cahoots, in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material.
Gambles says：“ Technology will enable tls to make the library's content and services open to citizens as never before.”
本文是一则新闻报道。

即将落成的Library of Birmingham(LoB)将是伯明翰城市接受日常生活数字化的标志。

56．The underlined part “its idea” in Paragraph 3 refers to the idea of ________.
A. the equipment
B. the project
C. the digital media
D. the physical library
答案：B 猜测词义题。

第三段中的“the project”指的是文章中出现的“the LoB project”，结合画线部分的上下文语境可知此处讲的是数字媒体对这个项目很重要，所以B项正确。

A. get a general idea of the LoB
B．meet many world­famous experts
C．learn how to put up a library building
D．understand how the specialists work on the project
答案：A 细节理解题。

根据第六段第二句中的“Not only have the public been able to learn about the LoB...”可知，公众访问虚拟LoB可了解LoB的大体情况。

58．Which of the following is true of the LoB when it opens?
a. It offers better learning tools.
b. It reaches users in different ways.
c. It provides users with smart phones.
d. It allows users to enrich its material.
e. It gives non­stop physical and digital services.

Alone Together, an amazing description of our changing relationship with technology, is written by Sherry Turkle, an MIT professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology.
In the book's first half, devoted to robots, Turkle gives out toys like the Tamagotchi, Furby, and Zhu Zhu robotic hamster (仓鼠), then explores children's deep attachments to the creatures and assessments of whether they are alive. Such quasi­pets set the psychological stage for what Turkle is really worried about: robot lovers. One woman even says that if a robot acted like it cared, she'd trade in her boyfriend.
The book's second half explores the “network”­instant messages, social networks, confessional websites, and the like­and how it reshapes the self. Fifteen­year­olds send and receive close to 6,000 messages a month. “They communicate all day but are not sure if they have connected. They develop friendships on social networking sites and then wonder if they are among friends.” In texting, a typical question is “Where are you？”，not an open­ended one like “How are you？” Just as robots produce confusion about whether one is alone or with another, Turkle sighs, “We_are_connected_to_
each_other,_but_strangely_more_alone.”
“What can't be denied (否认) is that technology, with all its faults, makes life a lot easier. It allows us to get in touch with more people in less time; it can make conversation
simple­no small talk required. But are any of those feelings equal to the kind we feel when engaged in a real, face­to­face setting? Online, you can ignore others' feelings. In a text message, you can avoid eye contact. A number of studies have found that this generation of teens is becoming unconcerned. That doesn't spell disaster, but it does mean we might want to start thinking about the way we want to live. We've gone through terribly rapid change, and some of these things just need a little sorting out.” Turkle says.
This book is not to be missed and worthy of every dollar you spend.

He says the problem with teachers is, “What will a kid learn from someone who chose to become a teacher？” He reminds the other dinner guests that it's true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; those who can't, teach.
I decide to bite_my_tongue instead of biting his and stop myself from reminding the other
dinner guests that it's also true what they say about lawyers—that they make money from the misfortune of others.
“I mean, you're a teacher, Taylor，” he says to me. Be honest. What do you make?
I wish he hadn't asked me to be honest, because now I have to teach him a lesson.
You want to know what I make?
I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I can make a C＋feel like a great achievement and an A­feel like a failure.
How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best?
I make parents tremble in fear when I call them：
I hope I haven't called at a bad time.
I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today.
Billy said, “Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don't you？”
I make parents see their children for who they are and what they can be.
You want to know what I make?
I make kids wonder.
I make them question.
I make them criticise.
I make them think.
I make them apologise and mean it.
I make them write, write, write.
And then I make them read.
I teach them to solve math problems that they once thought impossible.
I make them understand that if you have brains then you follow your heart and if someone ever tries to judge you by what you make, you teach them a lesson.
Let me make this simple for you，so you know what I say is true：
I make a great difference! What about you?
