A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童)was walking around the shining car. "Is this your car, Paul?" he asked.
Paul answered, "Yes, 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. Boy, I wish..."He hesitated (犹豫).
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
"I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that." Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again; "Would you like to take a ride in my car?" "Oh, yes, I'd love that." After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining,
said, "Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled ( 残疾 ) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
"There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it. Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I've been trying to tell you about."

Earthquakes strike suddenly at any time of the day or night, there’s no way to tell when. If an earthquake happens, it may cause many deaths and injuries and great damage. Decide how and where your family will get together if separate. Choose an out-of-state friend or relative that the family members can call after the quake to report where they are and how they are.

If possible, take a book, a pillow or any other things to protect yourself from falling glass and ruins. If you are indoors, you must immediately lie under any strong furniture. If outdoors, move to an open area away from trees, buildings, walls and power poles. In a narrow valley, move to the center of it and look out for falling stones. If you are in the car, move to the side of the road and stop the car. Do not stop near buildings, power lines and on or under the bridges. Stay in your car until the shaking stops.
Do not move badly injured person unless they are in great danger after the earthquake. Do not use the telephone immediately unless there is a serious injury or fire. Turn on your radio for instructions and news reports. Be prepared for aftershocks. If you should leave your home, post a message inside your home telling family members where you can be found.

As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像）the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they m ake. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general
the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings（兄弟姐妹）. Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,”says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention：“When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”
56. The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to____________.
A. show the relationship between parents and children
B. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table
C. report on the findings(结果) of a study
D. give information about family problems
57. Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because_________.
A. they are busy serving food to their children
B. they are busy keeping order at the dinner table
C. they have to pay more attention to younger children
D. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family
58. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children__________.
A. have to help their parents to serve dinner
B. get the least attention from the family
C. are often kept away from the dinner table
D. find it hard to keep up with other children
59. Lewis research provides an answer to the question__________.
A. why TV is important in family life
B. why parents should keep good order
C. why children in small families seem to be quieter
D. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life
60. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?
A. It is important to have the right food for children.
B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.
C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.
D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner.
第二卷（共40分）
第一节阅读表达（15分）阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

［1］Can you imagine going through a whole day without telling a lie? “Yes，of course，”most people would answer，but then they've probably forgotten all these lies that are told so easily一“This is delicious．”“You look lovely in tha t dress．”“I'd love to come with you，”etc．Lies are used a lot in everyday life．［2］Generally speaking，_______________.The first type of liar wants to please people．The second type wants to protect himself or herself，and the third type lies to get what he or she wants．Lying can also be separated into three different catalogues.
Both sides benefit
［3］If someone is fishing for compliments(赞美)and you tell them what they want to hear，you probably think this a“kind”lie．However，you get something as a result ot this lie, too—affection，friendship，or peace and quiet．
Refusing to accept responsibility
［4］ When you lie for self-protection，the reason is very clear．To explain your late-ness，you tell your boss the train was late，not that you overslept．You cannot be blamed for being late，because you are not responsible for any problems the train has and the con-sequences of those problems．
The worst type of lie
［5］The third sort of lie is more harmful．It is，for example，the kind of lie that people tell in order to climb up the ladder at work，without caring about the people who are treated badly and unfairly．
［6］What about being lied to? Can you tell when someone is telling you a lie? Obviously there are some verbal(明显可视的) signs. Liars often take longer to answer questions．They also speak faster but are sometimes very unclear about details. Certain types of body language can also indicate that someone is lying. Experts say that speaking through one's fingers or putting one’s hands over one's face may indicate that a person is lying．P1aying with one's hair or clothes and being unable to stay still for any length of time are others．
1．How does the author introduce the topic of the text?(no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________
2．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words．(no more than 8 words) _________________________________________________________________
3．Why is the third sort of lie considered the worst type?(no more than 15 words) _________________________________________________________________
4．List three visual signs of lying．(no more than 30 words)
(1)________________________________________________________________
(2)________________________________________________________________

请你根据下面这幅漫画用英语写一篇短文。

短文内容应该包括以下三方面：

2．是否同意他们的教育方式，并陈述理由；
3．对家庭教育提出建议。

注意：1．词数120左右；
2．作文中不得提及考生所在学校和本人姓名。

参考词汇：溺爱spoil v.
As can be seen in the cartoon, the young couple educate their child in different ways.
答案
单项选择
1答案：B 考查冠词用法。

问句指的是双方都知道的那次晚会，是特指；a success指的是一次成功的聚会，故用不定冠词。

2答案：A 考查代词用法。

此处one指代的是an Apple iPhone 4，表示泛指。

3【答案解析】答案为B。

根据语境，需要委婉拒绝，从而使用Thanks / Thank you, but…
句式。

【举一反三】在表示委婉拒绝时，常常要用到下列句式：
I’m sorry, but…
Thanks, but…
I really want to, but I…
I’m afraid I …
4【答案】D
【解析】本题考查单词的区别：lack缺乏；load负担；question疑问；waste 浪费；根据句意，尤其是下句的sour grapes(酸葡萄)可知答案选D。

5解析：C.考并列连词用法，分析前后分句逻辑关系，是条件或假设关系，而且“祈使句+and/or/otherwise…”固定句型所以选C.
6解析：A。

考查固定句型。

句意：这两个小女孩如此相像，以至于很难辨别出彼此。

此句式it 做形式宾语的结构如下find/make/consider/suppose等+it+adj/n+to do/that….。

7解析：B.此题考查时态。

句意“她吃惊的发现冰箱空了；这个孩子吃掉了所有的东西！”。

据前半句可知，孩子吃掉东西这个动作是发生在“was surprised”之前，因此用过去完成时。

8【答案】C
【解析】本题考查主谓一致和时态，主语是 the number故谓语动词用单数，又因时间状语是since 1997所以用完成时态。

9解析：【答案】C
【命题透视】“介词+which”引导的非限制性定语从句。

考查基础语法知识并运用其分析解答问题的能力。

【试题解析】句中的先行词是two novels，而且后面是一个非限制性定语从句，因此用both of which引导。

That不能引导非限制性定语从句，也不能跟在介词后面；如果选them，则后面需要有并列连词and或者是独立主格结构，即both of them made into...。

10答案为B。

现在分词做伴随状语，studying一词与其逻辑主语he 之间为主动关系，在本句中表示正在进行的动作。

选项C为不定式的完成时，表示已经完成，不符合语境；选项D为不定式的进行时，表示将要进行，也不符合句意。

11【答案解析】答案为D。

考查短语辨析。

give off表示“发出（光等），排出，放出”；turn down表示“把声音调小；委婉拒绝”；take over表示“接管”；set aside表示“撇开(不顾,取消,放弃,保留)”。

【举一反三】表示“放置”的短语总结如下： put away；收好，拿开；lay aside: 把...搁置一旁,留存,储存
【备考策略】在学习过程中对于意义或形式相关或相近的短语要进行整理，并注意一些短语的熟词生义现象。

12答案：A 考查时态。

问话人说现在找不到电动剃须刀，答话人告诉对方自己用过，动作发生在过去，所以用一般过去时。

13答案：B 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。

答话人之所以让对方删除手机上要求汇款的信息是因为到目前为止已经有很多人上当受骗，所以用现在完成时的被动语态，排除C、D两项；many表示“大量”，修饰复数数可数名词，谓语动词用复数，故选B项。

14答案：C 考查定语从句。

“when everyone used horses”是定语从句，修饰先行词the days，且when在从句中作状语。

15答案：C 句意：生活的10%是事件本身，90%是你对事件所采取的态度。

“you respond to it”是完整的句子，所以用连接副词，此处表示的是方式，故用how。

16答案：A 考查时态。

结合本句中的时间状语these days以及下一句中的时态可知史密斯先生这些天一直在过度工作，所以用现在完成进行时。

17答案：C 考查情态动词。

医生认为如果他吃了这些药片“应该”能好起来。

此处should 表示预期“应该会，可能”。

18【答案解析】答案为B。

考查虚拟语气。

根据本题中提供的语境应该是“我认为如果没有您的帮助，我们不可能已经完成的”，明显是对过去的虚拟，因此应该用情态动词的过去式+完成时态。

19答案：D 考查非谓语动词。

句意：虽然作为一名艺术家取得了相当大的成就，这位年轻人仍然继续努力工作。

the young man与achieve之间是主谓关系，且根据句意可知achieve 动作已经完成，故用现在分词的完成式，相当于“Although he has achieved considerable success as an artist”。

20答案：B 考查虚拟语气。

他只是一个售货员，可是他的举止好像自己拥有这家杂货店一样，此处是对现在事实的虚拟，所以用一般过去时。

阅读表达【解析】文章大意

参考范文：
As can be seen in the cartoon, the young couple educate their child in different ways. Father educates their child with a ruler but Mother with a bar of chocolate. What is illustrated in the picture is that Father is too hard on their child while Mother spoils him. They adopt strikingly inconsistent methods, which makes their child confused.
I subscribe to neither of their education methods. If we always give children severe punishment, they will become nervous and lack self­confidence or become violent and aggressive, following in the father's footsteps. If we always love children too much, t hey will turn out to be self­centered and dependent, tending to do whatever they want to.
So far as I am concerned, it is better to use appropriate methods based on children's individual personalities. Since praise and criticism both play vital roles in children's education, it is essential that parents should try to maintain the balance between love and strictness. Only in this way can children benefit from proper family education and achieve all­round development.。
