一、阅读选择
I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.
And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.
But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)
My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.
Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.
1．The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.
A．most families chose to go car-free B．the cost of a new car was too much C．he was hurt in a terrible car accident D．the traffic jam was unbearable for him 2．What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?
A．Disapproving. B．Supportive. C．Optimistic. D．Unconcerned. 3．What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?
A．Argue against it. B．Take their advice. C．Leave it alone. D．Think it over. 4．What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?
A．Life cannot go without a car. B．Life without a car is a little bit hard. C．His life gets improved without a car. D．A car-free life does not suit everyone.
Street art can be found on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and even trash cans from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings, sculptures, cloth or even stickers. It has become part of a global visual culture. Now, even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists.
It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement. This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world. Also, because it is illegal to paint on public and private property without permission, street artists usually work secretly. This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define exactly. And people have different opinions about the movement. Some think street art is a crime and destroys property. But others see this art as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression. Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their “tag” on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti (涂鸦). It is visually exciting and energetic. Some graffiti paintings were signs marking the territories of city gangs or illegal crime groups.
Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Graffiti art represented social and political rebellion (叛逆). This was art that rejected the accepted rules of culture and power. These artists could travel around areas of the city making creative paintings for everyone to see. Sometimes this street art created a conflict between artists and city officials. Graffiti artists created their images and city officials quickly painted over them.
During the 1980s, two New York painters—Keith Haring and Jean Michel began showing their work in art galleries and museums. This is when street art started to become part of the more general popular culture.
5．What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A．Street art has become popular and is accepted as a kind of culture.
B．Street art is very special compared with other forms of popular art.
C．Many people are beginning to learn street art.
D．Street art is better developed in big cities than in rural areas.
6．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．“TAG” was a word created by people to distinguish street artists and the other artists. B．There are three reasons explaining why it is hard to define the history of street art. C．The movement of street art began in the 1980s in New York City.
D．All the people don’t think that the street art is a rich form of cultural expression.
7．The city officials used to get rid of graffiti probably because ________.
A．they caused arguments between people
B．they were ugl y in someone’s eyes
C．they were not painted under proper guidance
D．they didn’t express traditional culture
8．Which is the best title of the passage?
A．The Way to Become a Street Artist
B．What Does Graffiti Art Stand For?
C．The History of Street Art Movement
D．The Work of Street Artists
It is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device，and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet, a big online company can be run by only two guys in their garage. So it is only reasonable then, that people shopping online would be a littleleeryof the security levels.
Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual shopping off the ground, and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.
Credit card companies, too, quickly saw the potential for online shopping, and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people. If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases, many credit card companies will happily refund your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you. Now that’s buying power!
There are other bonuses for online shoppers, of course. No line－ups, for one. No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them
what they want.
When shopping online, consumers can sit down, have a coffee, and wear their slippers, not having to worry about their hair or parking, and just clicking through sale after sale. Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies（快递公司）getting in on the act, you never need to wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.
No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.
9．The underlined word leery means _________.
A．distrustful B．confident
C．hopeful D．disappointed
10．Consumer confidence in online shopping mainly relies on _________.
A．shopping freedom B．shopping convenience
C．Internet access D．Shopping security
11．Which groups of words would the writer use to describe current online shopping? A．Adventurous, enjoyable, fast, unreal
B．Unsafe, cheap, slow, convenient
C．Safe, convenient, fast, comfortable
D．Reliable, popular, convenient, slow
12．The following companies are thought to have made contributions to the popularity of online shopping EXCEPT ________.
A．Internet companies
B．advertising companies
C．courier companies
D．credit card companies
Dear Ms. Wang,
I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course next year.
I’ve decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course. I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuouslywas important to them.
So next academic year, Term 1 will be like always: sentences to paragraphing. And Term 2 will work toward the 5-paragraph essay. The final 3 weeks of Term 2 will be reserved tointroduce writing for TOEFL and CEE. By that time, if the students have done their job correctly, then they should be able to write quite well.
As for the Latin course, I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand what’s on offer before I actually introduce the course. A number of students already emailed me about the course.
I am sure you don’t understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is. People around the world are interested in what we plan to do. There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course. Please share what I have said with the administration. I want them to understand the importance of this course. The reason I have contacted these colleagues (actually Oxford contacted me) isthatI have confidence in our students and in myself. I know that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin, they are going to be amazed. It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of knocking on.
Well, that’s it for now. I’ll see you soon.
Yours,
Edward Johnson

二、七选五
Third-Culture Kids
Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid!
The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 16．About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals.
17．In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 18．While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a
third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.
For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 19．She did not share the same values as her friends’ even years after going back home.
While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”.20．As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.
A．Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.
B．In general, they often reach excellent academic results.
C．This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.
D．However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.
E.Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences.
F.Unlike other teens of her age, she didn’t know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.
G.Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.

【名师点睛】
七选五解题的关键是能娴熟地利用各种衔接手段。

我们可以通过词汇衔接的方法来解题，词汇衔接又可以具体分为三种：代词、同义词/近义词、上下义词/同一范畴词对应关系。

1. 代词：英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高，代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念，巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。

2. 同义词/近义词：英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用，这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。

其实就其本质而言，上文讲的代词和下文将涉及的上下义词和同一范畴词都是特殊的同义/近义词。

3. 上下义词/同一范畴词：什么是上下义词和同一范畴词？举个例子你们就明白了。

Fruit和apple之间就是上下义词，因为前者包含了后者，或可以说后者是前者的一个子集。

Apple 和orange之间则是同一范畴的关系，都属于fruit。

利用前后句中这样的特殊的同义关系常常可以很轻松地解题。

上下文之间存在递进关系，所以使用副词even。

40．B考查副词。

副词thankfully感激地；hopefully充满希望地；equally同样地；similarly 类似地；而让人充满希望的是（hopefully），我们能够行动起来去阻止这种悲剧的发生。

故B正确。

【名师点睛】
近年来高考完形填空的难度不大，我们可以从以下6个方面着手解题：
1. 利用文章中心主题句解题方法------利用段首句或首段最大限度地获取信息。

为给学生理解文章奠定基础，使学生更易于理解文章内容，出题者在设计完形填空试题时，总是保留一个完整的、或是大半个完整的表达主旨的句子。

大家知道，文章的开头很重要，往往开宗明义点出文章主题。

因此，整篇文章的提示句往往在开头。

考生应充分利用段首句提供的信息，去挖掘文章的思路，寻找文章的脉络与线索。

2.分析认识文章结构，理解领会文章各部分、各层次之间的逻辑关系。

只有明白文章结构，了解各段落之间的关系，才能加深对文章的理解。

明白了各部分是如何为表现主题思想服务的，也就更容易把握带空的句子所需要的是什么内容，因此就更容易选准答案了。

这要求考生具有扎实的英语词组、短语、习惯用法等英语搭配的知识，这对于理解文章的逻辑关系特别有利。

文章的逻辑关系不外乎列举、原因、结果、让步、对照、补充、目的、条件等关系。

表示列举的连词：first, second, third…;firstly,secondly, thirdly…;first, next, then…; in the first place, in the second place…; for one thing, for another thing…;to begin with, to conclude…
表示原因的连词：because, since, as, now that…
表示结果的连词：so, therefore, thus, hence, accordingly, consequently, as a result 表示让步和转折的连词：however, nevertheless, nonetheless, still, though, yet, in
spite of, at any rate, in any case, whoever, whatever
表示对照的连词：on the contrary, in contrast, by contrast, in comparison, by comparison, conversely
表示补充的连词：
also, further, furthermore, likewise, similarly, moreover, in addition, what’s more, too, either, neither, not…but…, not only…but also…
表示时间顺序的连词：when, while, as, after, before, since, until, as soon as, once 表示目的的连词：that, so that, in order that, lest, for fear that
表示条件的连词：if, suppose (that), supposing (that), unless, in case, so (as) long as, so far as, on condition (that), provided (that), providing (that)
3.利用上下文寻找解题信息
由于完形填空的文章是一个意义相关联的语篇，围绕一个话题论述，因此在行文中词语的重复、替代、复现和同现现象是不可避免的。

根据这个原则，某一个空格所对应的答案很可能就是在上下文中复现或同现的相关词，考生可以根据这些词之间的有机联系来确定答案。

所以，解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索，如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词和概括词等。

但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章，因此，在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。

4.运用词汇、语法等方面的语言知识及搭配关系解题方法做题时应注意文章中的搭配：☆逻辑搭配：包括过渡词、连接手段、指代关系、肯定、否定等；☆语义搭配：包括区别同义词、近义词、反义词、形近异义词、同形异义词；☆结构搭配：指名词、动词、形容词等在句中或文中与其他词的搭配；☆惯用搭配：即通常所说的固定短语。

5.运用排除法解题方法
如果不能很有把握地直接看出某一道题的答案，可以把排除法和词汇、语法分析结合起来运用，从而缩小选择的范围，提高答题准确率。

这种情况有以下几种：☆从时态、语态、语气、名词的数等各个角度分析所填内容是否与上下文一致，从而排除一些备选答案，缩小选择范围；☆分析空白处与前后词之间的语义关联、搭配关系，从而排除一些选项；☆弄清楚该题的句法关系，分析一下它是简单句、并列句，还是复合句；☆判断所填的内容在句中充当什么成分，应是什么词性，并分析备选答案之间的异同，从而排除干扰项选出正确答案。

6. 运用背景知识和社会常识解题方法。
