1.This printer is of good quality. If it_________break down within the first year, we would repair it at our expense.
A.would
B. should
C. could

本题答案选B
2.It is lucky we booked a room, or we_________nowhere to stay now.
A.may have
B.would have had
C.would have
D.may have had
【解析】本题考查虚拟语气。

Or后面对现在情形的虚拟。

对现在时间情形的虚拟，用情态动词could/would /might/ should+动词原形，所以答案选C。

3.Look at the trouble i am in! If only I_________your advice.
A.had followed
B.followed
C.would follow
D.follow
【解析】虚拟语气。

考查if only引导的虚拟语气用法，这是对之前的事情进行假设，所以应该用had done 的形式答案选A。

A.was;be closed
B.were;be closed
C. Should be; should be closed
D.be; should be closed 【解析】本题考察insist后面句子是否使用虚拟的用法。

第1个insist表达的是“坚持认为”并非虚拟，所以按实际情况用was; 第2个题是虚拟情况，所以应该按照“建议”类虚拟，用should加动词原形的用法。

答案选A。

5.My second piece of advice is that he _________a bicycle as soon as possible.
A.buys
B.buy
C.bought
D.buying

答案是C。

7.We didn’t see Tom at the meeting yesterday. He _________it.
A.mustn’t have attended
B.couldn’t have attended
C.needn’t have attended
D.would have not attended
【解析】本题考“查情态动词+have done”表示推测的用法。

前面一句we didn't see Tom at the meeting yesterday，“昨天在会议上，我们没看见他” 所以就是对过去进行推测，“他不可能来参加了这个会议”，所以用couldn't have attended.答案选B。

8.The dog_________hibernate in winter.
A.don’t need
B.doesn’t need to
C. need not to
D.needs not
【解析】本题考察need作为情态动词还是实意动词的区分。

9.Whenever Mother was not here, the children_________make a lot of noise.
A.will
B.would
C.were to
D.were going to
【解析】
10.I would have told him the answer had it been possible, but I _________so busy then.

---Oh, yes please. I’ve been expecting him.
A.Should
B.Must
C.Might
D.Shall
【解析】选D。

考查情态动词表示请求。

句意: ——史密斯先生, 汤姆在这里。

他现在可以进来吗? ——噢, 是的。

我一直等着他呢。

根据语境“来了; 一直在等”推知“没有进来”, 此处“征求进来”的同意。

shall用在一、三人称的句子中表示请求。

12.David is one of those people who_________trouble making up _________minds.
A.has;their
B.has;its
C.have;their
D.have;its
【解析】本题考查定语从句主谓一致情况。

定语从句中关系词who代指people，所以谓语动词have以及相应形容词性物主代词their。

所以答案选C。

13.Of the making of good books there is no end; neither_________any end to their influence on man’s lives.
A.there is
B.there were
C.is there
D. Are there
【解析】本题考察neither放置于句首，引导部分倒装的句型结构。

主语any end提示Be动词用is。

所以答案是C。

A.is going to; that is to take place
B.are going to; that is about to take place
C.is going to; that is to be held
D.are going to; which is to be held
【解析】本题考察主谓一致以及定语从句的用法。

All but one，主语是All，谓语动词用are going to；定语从句先行词conference是单数，根据时态要用be to do something及被动形式，所以答案选D。

15.The number of people invited_________fifty, but a number of them_________absent for different reasons.
A.were; was
B.was; was
C.was; were
D.were;were
【解析】本题考察the number of和a number of的用法区别。

The number of修饰名词作主语，用作单数，；
a number of修饰名词作主语，作为复数。

所以答案选C。

16.---Each of the students, working hard at his or her lessons, _________to goo to university.
A.hope
B.hopes
C.hoping
D.to hope
【解析】本题考察Each修饰主语时，试做单数的用法，所以答案选B。

17.Either you or the headmaster_________the prizes to those gifted students at the meeting.
A.is hanging out
B.are to hang out
C.are hanging out
D.is to hand out
【解析】本题考察either…… or连接两个主语，就近一致的原则。

根据答案选项结构及时态的用法应该选D。

18.When and where to build the new factory_________yet.
A.is not decided
B.are not decided
C.has not decided
D.have not decided
【解析】本题主要考查主谓一致和一般现在时的被动语态。

主语中有连接词and 时，谓语动词多用复数形式。

但如果主语表示抽象整体概念或表示一个单一的概念时，谓语动词则要用单数。

在本题中，when 和where 加不定式指的是同一件事，谓语动词用单数形式，由此可以排除B、D项；又因主语是谓语动词动作的承受者，所以使用被动语态。

故答案为A
19.To play basketball and to go swimming_________useful for character-training.
A.was
B.is
C.are
D.were
【解析】本题考查主谓一致的用法。

动词不定式to do做主语，是一件事情，有and连接为两件，所以答案选C。

20.This kind of cakes_________good while cakes of that kind_________different.
A.taste;are
B.tastes;are
C.smells; is
D.look;are
【解析】本题考查知识点是：由 a kind of，this kind of，many kinds of和“名词+ of this kind”等以及由与kind意义相似的type，sort等构成的类似短语作主语时，谓语动词与of前的名词保持数的一致。

答案选B。

Seventy-three-year-old George McNeilon selected his food in Value Mart very carefully. After leaving the cashier, he estimated (估计) that he had saved 80 cents and thought that he had got good value for his money again.
At the exit, the chilly wind reminded him of his gloves. "Now where are they?" He searched here and there, but nowhere could he find them. He was sure he was wearing them when he entered the store. It was obvious that they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store.
George bought the gloves at a 25% discount, for just $30, ten years ago. They were genuine lambskin (小羊皮). Until then, he had worn cheaper ones that lasted no more than three years. His impulsive decision to buy the expensive gloves turned out to be a good one, which even promoted his social status on the bus, as passengers stared at him enviously for six months out of the year. He enjoyed being envied.
Bad luck, George thought, to lose his expensive gloves on New Year's Eve. He, calm on the outside but frantic in the inside, reentered the store. Several minutes of search turned out to be in vain. "Society has changed. People have changed …" he murmured to himself. "Years ago, if p eople picked up something lost, they would give it back."
Back home, George was at a loss. In deep winter, he could not do anything without a pair of gloves.
After the holiday, poor George decided to buy another pair of leather gloves. Before boarding the subway, he stepped into Value Mart again to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office.
"What color are they?" the woman in the office asked.
"Black," he answered.
She looked into her drawer and drew out a pair of men's leather gloves.
"Are they?"
"Yes! Those are mine!"
本文为记叙文，文章介绍了一位老人在除夕夜去超市购物却丢掉手套，并最终找回的故事．
4. What is the most probable reason for George’s shopping?
A. To kill time in Value Mart as usual.
B. To prepare for the coming New Year.
C. To prove how wise he was with money.
D. To see whether there were gloves on sale.
【解析】B．细节理解题．根据第四段的句子"Bad luck, George thought, to lose his expensive gloves on New Year's Eve"可知，乔治购物的原因是为即将到来的新年．故选B．
5. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “frantic”in Para. 4?
A. Ashamed.
B. Angry.
C. Afraid.
D. Anxious.
【解析】D。

词义猜测题。

根据第四段He, calm on the outside but frantic in the inside, reentered the store. 外表镇静和but转折，及后面返回店中的动作就知道，她内心是着急/焦虑的。

6. What do we know about old George McNeilon?
A. Pure but impolite.
B. Clever but simple.
C. Economical but vain.
D. Warmhearted but poor.
【解析】C．推理判断题．根据第四段Several minutes of search turned out to be in vain可知他是徒劳的，再根据第一段After leaving the cashier, he estimated (估计) that he had saved 80 cents and thought that he had got good value for his money again.．可知他很经济，很节省．故选C。

7. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. In daily life, accidents will happen.
B. Never ever jump to conclusions.
C. A penny saved is a penny earned.
D. A loss may turn out to be a gain.
【解析】B．推理判断题．根据倒数第三段"Society has changed. People have changed …" he murmured to himself. "Years ago, if people picked up something lost, they would give it back."可知George认为现在的人们都改变了，而根据后文售货员帮他找回了，所以人不要急于下结论，所以B正确。

C
Charles Dickens’A Christmas Carol is an absolute classic. And even if you don’t want to write exactly like Dickens, there's something—a technique, an idea, a theme, etc., that every writer can pull from Dickens’writing.
“Make them laugh, make them cry, make them wait,”was Dickens’s motto and his method. Unfortunately, the use of humor escapes many writers today, especially those who seek to write serious fiction. Dickens was a master of high humor---satire, puns, wordplay, and a curious method of characterizing that made fun of his own creations even as he fleshed them out with life.
You can use the same techniques employed to such good effect by Dickens to add humor to your work. Try to exaggerate your characters a bit. Underline passages that strike you as particularly, funny. Then use a similar tone or approach when describing one of your own characters, especially people you wish to make fun of. This type of humor will not, it is important to stress, detract from the high tone or seriousness of your subject. Instead, it will add a much appreciated human element to otherwise serious writing.
The second element of Dickens' famous motto focuses on his use of strong emotion. As Aristotle pointed out in his Poetics, emotional appeals are one of the chief devices of the lecturer and, by extension, of the novelist. Novels weren't invented back in Aristotle's time, but drama was, and he pointed to examples from the ancient Greek dramatists where arousing the audience's pity and fear was planned in advance by the dramatist. In a similar way, a novelist can learn from Dickens how to make readers feel strong emotions.
We may find it harder to cry, but Dickens was a master of situations that bring on the sympathy needed to cause reader emotion. The very memorable death of Nell in The Old Curiosity Shop (1841) had greatly moved American readers. In composing that scene, he went back in his mind to the great pain he had suffered when
he watched helplessly as seventeen-year-old Mary Hogarth, his sister-in-law, died in his arms some years earlier. The message is clear: to create emotion you must feel emotion.
In a wonderful little book, Charles Dickens as Serial Novelist (1967), Archibald C. Coolidge Jr. says the serial(连载小说)form of publication put certain pressures on Dickens that forced him to solve a typical novelists problems (such as how to maintain readers' interest) in strikingly bold ways. One of his most important techniques and one which is often overlooked by writers who prefer literary fiction is the use of an element of mystery and suspense. Dickens called it his mystery story technique. An example of the mystery that runs through Bleak House (1853) is the identity of Esther's mother. By the time the truth is revealed, the reader is worked up to great interest.
To provide a mystery in your mainstream novel, you might choose some aspect of the story that can be concealed from the reader. Then do not reveal too much ... only tell as much as is needed. You can use the same Dickensian mystery story technique in your own work. You can even lead readers in the wrong direction, provided one of the characters reasonably believes the wrong thing, as Pip does when he suspects that his benefactor (捐助者)is Miss Havisham. Sometimes, the less you tell, the more readers love it. So, by all means, make them wait.
本文是一篇夹叙矢议文。

文章主耍介绍了狄更斯写作的过人之处，即幽默、感人和悉念设置，这三点是值得年轻作家学习的地方。

8. The underlined phrase “detract from”in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A. make fun of
B. lay emphasis on
C. reduce the level of
D. adopt the technique of
【解析】.C词义猜测题。

第三段最后一句Instead, it will add a much appreciated human element to otherwise serious writing. 意为“相反，它会给原本严肃的写作添加一个非常受欢迎的人类元素。

”根据关键句及画线词所在句可推知，这种幽默不会影响你的主题的高格调或严肃性。

画线词意为“减损,使逊色”,与C项意思相近。

故选C。

9. Aristotle's idea is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to________.
A. explain the similarities between novels and dramas
B. show ancient Greek dramatists’ability to use strong emotion
C. display Charles Dickens' talent to use strong emotion in his works
D. emphasize the necessity of using strong emotion in writing novels
【解析】D目的意图题。

根据第四段第二句As Aristotle pointed out in his Poetics, emotional appeals are one of the chief devices of the lecturer and, by extension, of the novelist. 译文：正如亚里士多德在他的《涛学》中所指出的那样，情感诉求是演讲者的主要手段之一引申开末，它也是小说家写作的主要手段之一。

及第四段最后一句得知，此处提到亚凰士多德的思想是为了强谰在写小说时使用强烈情感的必要性
故选D。

10. What is the purpose of using Dickensian mystery story technique?
A. To mislead the target readers.
B. To portray the main characters.
C. To maintain readers’interest.
D. To reveal important information.
【解析】C推理判断题。

根据最后一段倒数第二句Sometimes, the less you tell, the more readers love it.译文；有时候，你写褂越少，读者就趑喜欢读。

所以，无论如何,让他们等待，可知使用狄更斯式的神秘故事技巧的目的是让读者一直保持着兴趣。

故选C。

11. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Write Just Like Charles Dickens
B. Analyze Charles Dickens’Personalities
C. Highlights of Charles Dickens’Works
D. Introduction to Charles Dickens’Writing Techniques
【解析】标题概括题。

分析文章的结构可知，本文采取的是总分的结构，文章开始就介细了狄更淅写作的过人之处，即幽默、感人和悬念设置，这三点是值得年轻作家学习的地方。

A项“像查尔斯·狄更斯那样去写作”准确概括了文章的主题。

故选A.。

D
Yoga is an ancient physical and spiritual practice first appearing in India. The word '"yoga" comes from Sanskrit (梵文) and means joining or uniting, symbolizing the union of body and mind. Today it is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. Recognizing its universal appeal, the United Nations declared 21 June as the International Day of Yoga in 2014 to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga.
Yoga is an invaluable gift from an ancient tradition. It's not just about exercise but a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, nature and the world. There is no written record of who inventing yoga. Yoga practitioners (从业者) passed down the principles to their students. The earliest written record of yoga is generally believed to be written by Patanjali, an Indian master who lived somewhere between 2,000 and 2,500 years ago.
Various yoga types give you multiple choices. Hatha yoga is the most widely practiced type and is excellent for beginners. It is gentle with slow and smooth movements. Kundalini yoga combines a singing session besides body and mental control. Bikram yoga is practiced in a heated room. It is to loosen up muscles and to sweat to clean the body and remove symptoms of disease and pain. Ashtanga yoga is taught as a difficult workout where you move quickly from one gesture to another to build strength and patience.
In recent years, the World Health Organization has urged countries to help their citizens reduce physical inactivity, which is among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide, and a key risk factor for non-communicable diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. Yoga is a proper exercise. It is known for its ability to ease stress and anxiety. It may also help reduce several risk factors for heart diseases and promote a better sleep.

12.Why did the United Nations set the International Day of Yoga?
A .To promote the research into Sanskrit.
B .To help people know more about India.
C .To popularize Yoga practice worldwide.
D .To give a declaration on cultural diversity.
【解析】C．推理判断题．根据第一段中的"Recognizing its universal appeal，the United Nations declared 21 June as the International Day of Yoga in 2014 to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga."联合国认识到瑜伽对如此多的人们产生了吸引力，其宣布6月21日为2014年国际瑜伽日，以提高全世界对练习瑜伽的诸多益处的认识。

可知，联合国设立国际瑜伽日是为了在全世界推广瑜伽练习。

故选C．
13.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A .The principles of yoga.
B .The history of yoga.
C .The benefits of yoga.
D .An Indian yoga master.
【解析】B．主段落大意题．根据第二段"Yoga is an invaluable gift from an ancient tradition.It's not just about exercise but a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself nature and the world.There is no written record of who invented yoga.Yoga practitioners（从业者）passed down the principles to their students.The earliest written record of yoga is generally believed to have been written by Patanjali，an Indian master who
lived somewhere between 2，000 and 2，500 years ago."可知，瑜伽是来自古老传统的宝贵礼物。

这不仅是运动，还是发现自己与自然和世界的一体感的一种方式。

谁发明的瑜伽并没有书面记录。

瑜伽从业者将原理传给了学生。

人们普遍认为，最早的瑜伽的书面记录是由居住在2000至2500年前的印度大师Patanjali撰写的．即第二段讲的是瑜伽的历史。

故选B．
14.What will you choose if you're looking for a challenging exercise?
A .Hatha yoga.
B .Kundalini yoga.
C .Bikram yoga.
D .Ashtanga yoga.
【解析】D．细节理解题．根据第三段中的"Ashtanga yoga is taught as a difficult workout where you move quickly from one gesture to another to build strength and patience.可知，Ashtanga瑜伽被认为是一项艰苦的锻炼，你可以从一种姿势快速移至另一种姿势，以增强力量和耐心。

因此如果你正在寻找具有挑战性的锻炼，你可以选择Ashtanga yoga.故选D．
15.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A .Physical inactivity causes deadly diseases.
B .Yoga can help prevent communicable diseases.
C .Little or no exercise puts people's health at risk.
D .Yoga can be a cure for many kinds of diseases.
【解析】C．推理判断题．根据最后一段中的"In recent years，the World Health Organization has urged countries to help their citizens reduce physical inactivity，which is among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide，and a key risk factor for non-communicable diseases，such as cancer and diabetes."可知，近年来，世界卫生组织（WHO）敦促各国帮助公民减少运动的不足，而运动不足是全世界十大主要死因之一，也是导致非传染性疾病（如癌症和糖尿病）的关键风险因素。

因此从最后一段我们可以推断出很少或不做运动会使人们的健康受到威胁。

故选C．
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

You've got mail…and it's a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great Wall. 1 "I often send postcards to family and friends," he says to China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it. 2 " Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo's hunch (直觉) paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website , a social network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 3 Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common comunication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it. 4 So a common language is required and in postcrossing that's English since it's widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to English. 5 That said, we know of many postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing," Paulo says.
A: And that's totally fine.
B: That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it.
C: He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.
D: Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E: On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F: Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G: In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.
【解析】
（1）G.推理判断题。

根据上文"Paulo Magalhaes，a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer，loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum.Or Africa's Victoria Falls.Or China's Great Wall."可知，该段在描述Paulo Magalhaes 喜欢打开邮箱收到照片的事实，所以G项"简而言之，他喜欢明信片，以及收到远方某人手写的便条时的那种兴奋"，承接上文，符合语境。

故选G.
（2）A.细节理解题。

根据上文中"but you can imagine that after a while，you never receive as many as you send，and you realize that not everyone is into it."和下文"Seeking other like-minded souls，however，Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place：online."可知，Paulo Magalhaes 收到的明信片并没有寄出去的多，并意识到并不是每个人都喜欢这样，但是他没有气馁，而是转而在网上寻找其他志同道合的人，所以A项"这完全没问题"，承上启下，符合语境。

故选A.
（3）E.推理判断题。

根据上文"Today his hobby has developed into the website ，a social network that has grown to 575，217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago."可知，此处主要在描述Paulo Magalhaes 创建的网站所取得的成就，所以E项"8月5日，会员互赠的明信片数量达到3100万张"，承接上文，符合语境。

故选E.
（4）F.推理判断题。

根据上文"As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese，the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it."可知，此处在描述语言障碍，所以F项"同样，如果你只会说中文，那么收到瑞典语的卡片就会失去一部分乐趣"，承接上文，符合语境。

故选F.
（5）B.推理判断题。

根据上文"Many people in China have limited exposure to English."可知，此处在描述一些人对英语并不熟练这一现象，其导致的结果便是他们使用postcrossing 会比较困难，所以B项"这使得学习和练习它变得格外困难"，承接上文，符合语境。

故选B.
