all students must 36 sixty hours of service learning, 37 they will not receive a diploma、Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community、38 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student、39 a service experience, students must keep a journal(日志)and then write a 40 about what they have learned、Supporters claim that there

choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month、47 there are many benefits, opponents (反对者)48 problems with the new requirement、First, they 49 that themain reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills、Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 50 time studying the core subjects、Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 51 goes against the law、By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose、In my view, service learning is a great way to 52 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers、53 , I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the 54 to help must come from the heart、I think the best 55 is one that gives students choices: a student

subjects, including children, men, careers and what' s happening in their lives、When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up、Men can either talk or watch the screen -- they can' t do both -- and they don' t understand that women can、Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen、During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going、He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally、Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships、For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends、For men, to talk is to relate the facts、Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding、A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours、There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys、Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys、Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children、Since a girl’s brain is better organized to send and receive speech,we therefore talk to them more、Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply、56、While watching TV with others, women Usually talk a lot because theyA、are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friendsB、can both talk and watch the screen at the Same timeC、think they can have a good time and develop relationshipsD、have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands57、After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to 、A、experience the happy time againB、keep a close tie with herC、recommend her a new scenic spotD、remind her of something forgotten58、What does the author want to tell us most?A、Women' s brains are better organized for language and communicationB、Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men、C、Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts、D、Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking、59、Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A、Women Are Socially Trained to TalkB、Talking Maintains RelationshipsC、Women Love to TalkD、Men Talk Differently from WomenBIt was the first mow of winter -- an exciting day for every, child but not for most tether、Up until now, l had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息), but today I would need some help、Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher at Princess Elizabeth School near Hamilton, Ontario, had been through first snow days ,many times in her long career, but I think struggled still remember this one、I managed to get into my wool snow pants、But I straggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well、It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes、At least my hat and matching scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty、Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots、In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will be able to put on own boots、” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence、I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot、Like most children, I expected the adult to doan the work、After mush wiggling and pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too、I announced,“They’re on the wrong feet、”With the grace that only experience can bring,she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again、Then I said,“These aren’t my boots、you know、”As she pulled the offending boots fro m my feet,she still managed to look both helpful and interested、Once they were off、I said,“They are my brother’s boots、My mother makes me wear them,and I hate them!” Somehow,from long years of practice,she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying litt le girl、She pushed and shoved、less gently this time,and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet、With a great sigh of relief,seeing the end of her struggle with me,she asked,“Now,where are your gloves?’’I looked into her eyes and said、“I didn’t want to lose them、so I put them into the toes of my boots、”60、According to the passage,the little girl got from her brother、A、the wool snow pants and the jacketB、the jacket and the bootsC、the jacket and the hatD、the boots and the gloves61、What made it so hard for the teacher to help the little girl put her boots on?A、The gloves in the toes of the boots、B、The slowness of the teacher、C、The wrong size of the boots、D、The unwillingness of the girl、62、It can be inferred that before the little girl finally went out to enjoy the first snow of winter,the teacher had to help her put on her boots 、A、onceB、twiceC、three timesD、four times63、Which of the following sentences from the text BEST indicates that the teacher is very considerate?A、In her calm,motherly voice she said,“By the end of winter,…”(Paragraph 2)B、With the grace that only experience can bring,she struggled to…(Paragraph 4)C、…、she still managed to look both helpful and interested、(Paragraph 4)D、…,she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl.(Paragraph 4)CTransport GuideThe Brisbane City Council(BCC)is responsiblefor bus and ferry services with in the city limits andsuburbs、Most buses will either

What do you think caused this change in colour? It is soil that has been washed into the river from the riverbank or from t}le nearby fields.Components of SoilSoil is made up of a number of layers(层),each having its own distinctive colour and texture、The upper layer is known as the litter、It acts like a blanket、limiting temperature changes and reducing water loss、The topsoil layer is made up of small particles of rock mixed with rotten plant and animal matter called humus(腐殖质),which is black and gives the topsoil its dark colour、This layer is usually rich in nutrients,oxygen,and water、Below the topsoil is the subsoil,a layer that contains more stones mixed with only small amounts of organic matter、This layer is lighter in colour because of the lack of humus、Beneath the soil lies a layer of bedrock、Soil forms from the bottom up、Over time bedrock is attacked by rain, wind,frost, and snow、It is gradually broken down into smaller particles in a process called weathering、Plants begin to grow,and rotten materials enrich the topsoil、Most of the soil in Eastern Canada、for example、Was formed from weathered rock that was exposed when the ice disappeared l2,000 years ago、Water Beneath the SoilSurface water collects and flows above the ground in lakes、ponds、and rivers、Once in the soil or rock,it is called groundwater、Gravity pulls groundwater through the soil in a process called percolation(渗透)、Eventually the water reaches a layer called the water table、Under this is bedrock through which water cannot percolate、As water percolates downward,it dissolves organic matter and minerals from the soil and carries them to deeper layers、This causes a serious problem because plants require these nutrients for growth、Soil pHSoil can be acidic、neutral、or basic、The pH of the soil is determined by the nature of the rock from which it was formed、and by the nature of the plants that grow and rot in it、The acidity of rain and snow can lower the pH of the groundwater that enters the soil、By burning fossil fuels such as coal,oil and gasoline,humans have been contributing to higher levels of acidity in many soils、When fossil fuels are burned、gases are released into the air and then fall back to earth as acid rain、Acid soil increases出e problem of carrying nutrients to lower soil levels、As nutrients are removed,soil is less fertile、Plants grow more slowly in acidic soil,and also become easily attacked by diseases、67、The layer of soil that provides necessary nutrients for plant growth is called、A、1itterB、topsoilC、humusD、subsoil68、According to the text、which of the following is NOT true?A、Soil forms from weathered rock on the earth surface、B、The deeper layer of soil is darker in colour than the surface soil、C、Air pollution is partially responsible for acid soil、D、Groundwater tends to carry away nutrients for plant growth、69、We can infer from the passage that the water table lies 、A、between the topsoil layer and the subsoil layerB、in the subsoil layer above bedrockC、between the subsoil layer and bedrockD、in the bedrock layer beneath the subsoil70、The underlined word “dissolve” is used to express the idea that organic matter and minerals from soil are 、A、rushed away into the riverB、cleaned and purified by waterC、destroyed and carried away by waterD、mixed with water and become part of it第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题l分,满分l0分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.注意:每个空格只填1个单词.请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上.Communication PrinciplesHow you see yourself can make a great difference in how you communicate、“Every individual exists in a continually changing world of experience of which he(or she)is the center”、Many communication scholars and social scientists believe that people are products of how others treat them and of the messages others send them、But every day we experience the centrality of our selves in communication、A student、for instance,may describe a conflict with a teacher as unfair treatment:“I know my teacher doesn’t like the fact that I don’t agree with his opinions、and that’s why he gave me such a poor grade in that class、”The teacher might say the opposite、Each person may belie ve that he is correct and that the other person’s view is wrong、The concept of serf originates in communication、Through verbal and nonverbal symbols, a child learns to accept roles in response to the expectations of others、You establish self-image.The sort of person you believe you are,by how others think of you、Positive,negative,and neutral messages that you receive from others all play a role in determining who you are、Communication itself is probably best understood as a dialogue process、Our understanding of communication comes from our interactions with other people、In a more obvious way、communication involves others in the sense that a competent communicator considers what the other person needs and expects when selecting messages to share、So,the communication begins with the self,as defined largely by others,and involves others,as defined largely by the self、Communication Occurs almost every minute of your life、If you are not communicating with yourself(thinking,planning,reacting to the world around you),you are observing others and drawing inferences from their behavior、Even if the other person did not intend a message for you、you gather observations and draw specific conclusions、A person yawns and you believe that person is bored with your message、A second person looks away from you and you conclude thatperson is not listening to you、A third person smiles(perhaps because of a memory of a joke he heard recently)and you believe that he is attracted to you、We are continually picking up meanings from others’ behaviors and we are constantly providing behaviors that have communicative value for them、More often than not,you may have hurt someone accidentally and you may have tried to explain that you did not mean that、You may have told the other person that you were sorry for your statement、You may have made a joke out of your rude statement、Nonetheless,your comment remains both in the mind of the other person and in your own mind、You cannot go back in time and erase your messages to others、Communication cannot be reversed(倒退),nor can it be repeated、When you tried to re—create the atmosphere,the conversation,and the setting,nothing seemed right、Your second experience with a similar setting and person made far different results、begins with the self ●we are always●Messages from others help you●Needs and●We are always●We are constantly collecting meanings from others’●We are constantlycannot be

communicate with a computer、For most people, it’s almost impossible to operate a computer without a mouse, let alone surf the Internet、A well-chosen mouse is really handy, flexible and convenient in controlling thescreen、With the functions of inserting, deleting, moving and copying, it enables us to edit test, browse web page and download what we want、It can even bring us a flood of music, movies and PC games、Just imagine, all this can be done with a cute mouse、A convenient tool can certainly make our work eas ier, but it doesn’t always help in a positive way、Too much ready information on our fingertips leaves little room for knowledge pursuing、Too many ready answers make us less excited in finding truth、Relying too much on mouse clicking makes us lazier and less creative both mentally and physically、(153 words)。

wants.A. however B. whatever C. whichever D. whenever答案是B.11.(1分)The population of Jiangsu to more than twice what it was in 1949.The figure is now approaching 74million.( )A.has grown B.have grownC.grew D.are growing【考点】E8:现在完成时.【分析】江苏现在的人口数量是1949年的两倍多.人口数量现在接近七千四百万.【解答】答案:A 考查现在完成时态.population是集合名词,或集体名词,即看成一个整体,所以谓语动词用单数形式,排除B、D项;句子说的是江苏现在的人口数量和以及增长,用现在完成时表示现在的状态,排除C项,只有A项正确.【点评】解答此类问题要了解各种时态的基本含义,并区别各种时态之间的差异,了解某些时态的特殊用法,然后结合语境选择正确答案.12.(1分)﹣﹣Ann is in hospital.﹣﹣Oh,really?I know.I go and visit her.( )A.didn't;am going to B.don't;wouldC.don't;will D.didn't;will【考点】E2:一般过去时.【分析】安住院了.是真的吗?我不知道.我将去看她.【解答】答案:D.根据题意分析我是过去不知道,故第一个空用一般过去时;be going to 既可指主观打算做某事;will往往指没有经过计划而临时出现的意图.因为"我不知道安是否生病住院",临时决定"我将要去看望她",故第二个空用will.【点评】本题考查时态.做时态题时,首先要看句子的时间状语,如果没有时间状语,就从句子暗含的意思来确定句子的时态13.(1分)Because of the financial crisis,days are gone _______ local 5﹣star hotels charged 6,000 yuan for one night.( )A.if B.when C.which D.since【考点】H1:限制性定语从句.【分析】由于金融危机,5星级酒店一晚上收费6000元的时代一去不复返了.【解答】答案为B.本题考查分隔定语从句中关系词的选择.题干中空格后面是修饰和限制名词days的定语从句,把先行词days带入到定语从句,完整的定语从句是"local 5﹣star hotels charged 6,000yuan for one night during the days";可见during the days在从句中充当时间状语.定语从句中关系副词when可指代时间在从句中做时间状语,所以该题答案是B.【点评】选择定语从句中的关系词,首先要理解各关系词的用法;然后找准先行词,将先行词带入到定语从句;最后根据先行词在定语从句中的作用判断关系词.14.(1分)﹣I'm surprised to hear that Sue and Paul have _____________.﹣So am I.They seemed very happy together when I last saw them.( )A.broken up B.finished upC.divided up D.closed up【考点】A9:动词短语.【分析】﹣听说苏和保罗分手了,我很吃惊.﹣我也是.上次看到他们时,他们看起来还相处得很开心呢.【解答】答案A.break up关系破裂;结束;finish up终结,结束;divide up使…分开;分割;close up堵住,关闭.break up用来指(恋人)分手;(夫妻)结束关系,而finish up则强调某件事的最后结局;故答案选A.【点评】本题考查动词短语的辨析.英语中有的词组没有捷径,只有平时加强记忆,要注意区别,记忆的时候不能忽视,这是常见的命题方式.平时要加强记忆,做题时,别忘了要结合上下文句意判断.15.(1分)﹣﹣﹣Hi,Torry,can I use your computer for a while this afternoon?﹣﹣﹣Sorry,__________.( )A.It's repaired B.It has been repairedC.It's being repaired D.It had been repaired【考点】JI:语言交际.【分析】﹣﹣﹣Hi,Torry,今天下午我能用一会儿你的电脑吗?﹣﹣﹣对不起,它正在维修中.【解答】答案C.A项为一般现在时的被动语态"它被修了";B项为现在完成时的被动语态"它已经被修理了";D项为过去完成时的被动语态"它已经被修理了";C项为现在进行时的被动语态"它正在维修中";根据答句中的"sorry"可知,说话者对对方所提出的‘今天下午我能用一会儿你的电脑吗?‘'这个请求表示抱歉,说明电脑可能现在用不了,它正在维修中,表示事情正在进行,这里computer是被维修的对象故用被动语态,选C.【点评】本题考查情景交际.解答此类题目首先应该读懂句意,分析上下文语境和逻辑关系.其次对每个选项中的交际用语的适用情况要掌握,根据语境锁定正确答案.关键平时学习中要对交际用语多积累多总结反复记忆.16.(1分)Schools across China are expected to hire 50,000 college graduates this year as short﹣term teachers,almost three times the number hired last year,reduce unemployment pressures.( )A.help B.to have helpedC.to help D.having helped【考点】BA:不定式.【分析】为了减少就业的压力,全国的学校要雇佣5千名大学生作为短期的老师,这个数字三倍于去年.【解答】答案:C.本题中不定式做目的状语,前面讲到的Schools across China are expected to hire 50,000college graduates this year as short﹣term teachers,almost three times the number hired last year就是为了reduce unemployment pressures,故用不定式表示目的,又因为本就是陈述一个事实,所以用一般现在时态.故选:C.【点评】本题考查语法知识,这句要求学生平时注意掌握积累语言基础知识.17.(1分)Compared with his sister,Jerry is even more _______ to,and more easily troubled by,emotional and relationship problems.( )A.doubtful B.addicted C.available D.sensitive【考点】64:形容词词意辨析.【分析】和他的妹妹相比,杰瑞更敏感,并且容易被情感和家庭矛盾所困扰.【解答】答案是D.考查形容词的辨析.A 怀疑的;B 上瘾的;C 可得到的;D 敏感的,容易受伤害的.句意是"和他的妹妹相比,杰瑞更敏感,并且容易被情感和家庭矛盾所困扰."故选D.【点评】解答此类问题首先需要理解每个单词的基本含义,并注意交叉含义间的区别,了解其特殊用法及习惯搭配等特点,然后结合语境选择正确答案.18.(1分)He did not regret saying what he did but felt that he it differently.( )A.could express B.would expressC.could have expressed D.must have expressed【考点】GJ:虚拟语气.【分析】他并不后悔说了自己所做的事,但觉得本可以换一种方式表达.【解答】答案是C.考查虚拟语气.根据语境可知,后半句表示对过去某种情况的认为,所以首先排除A和B两个选项.另外选项C表示"本能够做某事而没有做";选项D则表示"过去一定做过某事".根据语境,故选C.【点评】虚拟语气在高考命题中不是重点,但是难点.考点常集中在含蓄条件句以及主语、宾语从句等特定句型中虚拟语气的使用上,因此考生应熟练掌握含蓄条件句中主从句的时态要求以及一些典型句型中虚拟语气的具体形式.19.(1分)﹣﹣﹣Bill,can I get you anything to drink?﹣﹣﹣.( )A.You are welcomeB.No problemC.I wouldn't mind a coffeeD.Doesn't matter【考点】JI:语言交际.【分析】﹣﹣﹣Bill,我能给你弄些喝的东西吗?﹣﹣﹣我不介意喝咖啡.【解答】答案:CA.别客气,不用谢;B.没问题;C.我不介意喝咖啡;D.没关系;根据问句可知,此处回答的应是具体的要喝的东西/Bill是否需要喝东西;故选:C.【点评】做语言交际类的题目时,通常应根据题目中的问句或答语,判断说话者的意图,从而确定出空缺处所表达的意思.20.(1分)This special school accepts all disabled students,educational level and background.( )A.according to B.regardless ofC.in addition to D.in terms of【考点】8B:介词短语.【分析】这所特别的学习接受所有的残疾学生,不管教育水平和背景如何.【解答】答案是B.本题主要考查介词短语辨析.according to 根据,按照;regardless of 不管,不顾;in addition to此外,而且;in terms of就…而言;根据句中"accepts all disabled studetnts"推断是"不管怎样的教育水平和背景",所以答案选择B.故选:B.【点评】本题考查介词短语的语义辨析,考生在平时的学习中应注意积累相应的短语和词汇,并牢记其意思.在做题时,将短语的意思和题干相结合,从语法、句子结构尤其是句意上去判断,句意通顺,符合逻辑,即正确答案.21.(1分)__ unemployment and crime are high,it can be assumed that the latter is due to the former.( )A.Before B.Where C.Unless D.Until【考点】HI:地点状语从句.【分析】在失业率和犯罪率都高的地方,可以假定后者是由前者造成的.【解答】答案:BA.引导时间状语从句,在…之前;B.引导地点状语从句,在…地方;C.引导条件状语从句,除非,如果不;D.引导时间状语从句,直到…;此处用来引导地点状语从句,意为:在…地方;故用从属连词where,故选B.【点评】本题考查的是where引导的地点状语从句;做本题时,需要正确分析句意以及句子结构,并熟练掌握各从属连词的用法.22.(1分)Distinguished guests and friends,welcome to our school,the ceremony of the 50th Anniversary this morning are our alumni (校友)from home and abroad.( )A.Attend B.To attendC.Attending D.Having attended【考点】B6:动名词.【分析】尊敬的客人和朋友们,欢迎来到我们学校.来自国内外的校友们参加了学校50周年庆典活动.【解答】答案:C 本句后半句其实运用了倒装句,分析句子结构可知,后句的主语是our alumni,谓语是attend,根据句子提供的情景,attend动作正在发生,故用现在进行时.本句为了强调谓语,将attend提前构成倒装句.【点评】要仔细分析句子成分,了解英语句型的习惯使用.23.(1分)﹣﹣﹣What's the matter with your sister?﹣﹣﹣Well,my father wouldn't allow her to go to the party,but she still .( )A.hopes to B.hopes for C.hopes not D.hopes so【考点】GD:省略句.【分析】﹣你妹妹怎么了?﹣哦,我父亲不让她参加聚会,但她仍然希望参加.【解答】答案:A句中but表示转折,可以知道后面应该是肯定;hope to do sth希望做某事;hope后省略了go to the party,即but she still hopes to go to the party;故选A.【点评】省略句是英语的一种习惯用法.按照语法的分析,句子应该具备的成分,有时出于修辞上的需要,为了避免重复、突出新信息使上下文紧密连接的修辞手段.单词,短语,分句,都可以省略.24.(1分)Many young people in the West are expected to leave __ could be life's most important decision﹣﹣marriage﹣﹣almost entirely up to luck.( )A.as B.that C.which D.what【考点】H9:动词的宾语从句.【分析】在西方,很多年轻人都会把婚姻这个人生可能最重要的决定几乎完全地交由命运来安排.【解答】答案:Dleave…up to…把…留给…来决定;句中could be life's most important decision作leave的宾语,是一个宾语从句;从句中缺少主语,且句意表达的是事情,要用what来连接.故选:D.【点评】本题考查宾语从句的用法.宾语从句是名词性从句的一种,连接宾语从句的连词非为连接代词和连接副词.解题时,要注意从句的结构是否完整以及从句的含义.25.(1分)Nine in ten parents said there were significant differences in their approach to educating their children compared with __ of their parents.( )A.those B.one C.both D.that【考点】55:指示代词.【分析】百分之九十的父母说他们教育孩子的方法与他们自己父母的方法有很大的不同.【解答】答案:D句意指代的是前面的approach,表示特指,要用that来指代,相当于the one,表示特指;those是that的复数形式,题干给的是单数.故选D.【点评】指示代词是表示指示概念的代词,即用来指示或标识人或事物的代词.指示代词与定冠词和人称代词一样,都具有指定的含义,用来起指示作用或用来代替前面已提到过的名词.指示代词分单数(this/that)和复数(these/those)两种形式,既可作限定词又可做代词.第二节:完形填空(共1小题;每小题20分,满分20分)请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.26.(20分)The

women sit together to watch a movie on TV,they usually talk simultaneously (同时的)about a variety of subjects,including children,men,careers and what's happening in their lives.When groups of men and women watch a movie together,the men usually end up telling the women to shut up.Men can either talk or watch the screen﹣﹣they can't do both﹣﹣and they don't understand that women can.Besides,women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships﹣﹣not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.During the ad breaks,a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going.He is unable,unlike women,to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally.Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group,they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships.For a woman,speech continues to have such a clear purpose:to build relationships and make friends.For men,to talk is to relate the facts.Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people,but a woman sees it as a means of bonding.A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and,when she returns home,telephone the same girlfriend andtalk for another two hours.There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning,the fact that girls'mothers talked them more,is the reason why girls talk more than boys.Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis,author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition,conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at,baby girls more often than baby boys.Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children.Since a girl's brain is better organized to send and receive speech,we therefore talk to them more.Consequently,mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.56.While watching TV with others,women Usually talk a lot because they C A.are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friendsB.can both talk and watch the screen at the Same timeC.think they can have a good time and develop relationshipsD.have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands57.After a vacation with her girlfriend,a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to B .A.experience the happy time againB.keep a close tie with herC.recommend her a new scenic spotD.remind her of something forgotten58.What does the author want to tell us most? A A.Women's brains are better organized for language and communicationB.Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.C.Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.D.Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.59.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? C A.Women Are Socially Trained to TalkB.Talking Maintains RelationshipsC.Women Love to TalkD.Men Talk Differently from Women.【考点】O6:社会文化类阅读.【分析】女人在一起总是有说不完的话,甚至能一边看电影一边聊,男人却做不到,这是为什么?因为她们认为感情联络很重要,而且她们的大脑在这方面有着特殊功能.【解答】56.C 57.B 58.A 59.C56.C 细节理解题根据文章第一段的最后一句Besides,women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships﹣﹣not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.可知妇女们聚在一起总有说不完的话是因为她们认为在一起就要玩得愉快,同时加深关系,故答案为C women think they can have a good time and develop relationships.57.B 细节理解题根据文章的第三段中的a woman sees it as a means of bonding可知,女人度假回来会给朋友打电话长聊是因为她们把电话看做维系关系的纽带,故答案为B 58.A 推理判断题根据文章最后一段中的"Since a girl's brain is better organized to send and receive speech"一句可知,作者最想让读者知道的就是她们能滔滔不绝的原因是她们的大脑在交流当中更善于处理信息,故答案为A59.C 主旨大意题本文从男女看电视的反应开始谈男女注意力、性格等差异,看楚女人喜欢讲话.Women Love to Talk!【点评】阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力,要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系,对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断;或根据作者所阐述的观点理论,对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释.考生首先要仔细阅读短文,完整了解信息,准确把握作者观点.28.(8分)It was the first mow of winter﹣﹣an exciting day for every,child but not for most tether.Up until now,l had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息),but today I would need some help.Miss Finlayson,my kindergarten teacher at Princess Elizabeth School near Hamilton,Ontario,had been through first snow days,many times in her long career,but I think struggled still remember this one.I managed to get into my wool snow pants.But I straggled with my jacket because itdidn't fit well.It was a hand﹣me﹣down from my brother,and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes.At least my hat and matching scarf were mine,and they were quite pretty.Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots.In her calm,motherly voice she said,"By the end of winter,you will be able to put on ownboots."I didn't realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot.Like most children,I expected the adult to do an the work.After mush wiggling and pushing,she managed to get first one into place and then,with a sigh,worked the second one on too.I announced,"They're on the wrong feet."With the grace that only experience can bring,she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.Then I said,"These aren't my boots.you know."As she pulled the offending boots from my feet,she still managed to look both helpful and interested.Once they were off.I said,"They are my brother's boots.My mother makes me wear them,and I hate them!"Somehow,from long years of practice,she managed to act as though I wasn't an annoying little girl.She pushed and shoved.less gently this time,and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet.With a great sigh of relief,seeing the end of her struggle with me,she asked,"Now,where are your gloves?''I looked into her eyes and said."I didn't want to lose them.so I put them into the toes of my boots."60.According to the passage,the little girl got B from her brother.A.the wool snow pants and the jacketB.the jacket and the bootsC.the jacket and the hatD.the boots and the gloves61.What made it so hard for the teacher to help the little girl put her boots on? A A.The gloves in the toes of the boots.B.The slowness of the teacher.C.The wrong size of the boots.D.The unwillingness of the girl.62.It can be inferred that before the little girl finally went out to enjoy the first snow of winter,the teacher had to help her put on her boots D .A.onceB.twice。

Now, Henry, please tell us how you find so many interesting things for your stories.M: Okay, I watch people a lot. I do that when I travel. I’ve been to many countries such as Britain, Italy and Sweden. So I spend a lot of time at airports. While waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day when I was waiting for my flight for Greece, I saw a couple. They were buying magazines at that moment. They were not wearing business clothes but the man was carrying a suitcase. Every few seconds the woman looked around. I wondered if someone was following them. Perhaps they were running away and, you know this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day. A bank clerk stole 1,000,000 pounds a week before and disappeared with his wife. There was a picture of them in the paper. The couple really looked like the thieves. Maybe I should stop them. Just then I saw them say goodbye to each other and the woman walked away. Well sometimes I make mistakes like that but I find things like that very useful for my writing.4、广东卷Text 1W: Hi, Jack. I heard that you are back at school now.M: Yes, Susan. I just started college after taking three years off after high school. W: Oh, yeah?M: I’m feeling completely out of practice.

Then after two years I came back to school again.I actually felt like I appreciated my education more, because I was ready for it.M: That’s a good point.

But during the 1968 Mexico City Olympic, three runners performed such great acts that race is considered a truly historic event. One of the runners, Abebe Bikila from Ethiopia, is famous for having won the Olympic marathons at the Rome and Tokyo games. He hoped to win a third in Mexico City.

Text 5Rainforests are the lungs of the planet – storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world’s oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for guaranteeing their own survival; the tall trees make a cover of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, dry heat and strong winds.Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is a deliberate method to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects. To survive in the forest, animals must climb from tree to tree. The ground floor of the forest is not all covered with leaves and bushes, but is where leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can produce 75% of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal – and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet.Text 6W: Hello?M: Hello. Is that 8821199?W: It is.

First let's deal with the importance of exercise. Many people today live a kind of lazy life, sitting in the office all day and then watching TV the whole evening. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you this way of life is bad for your health. In fact it can lead to all kinds of health problems like heart disease, high blood pressure and some of the problems can result in death. Now let me talk a little about preventing illness. Probably the most important thing to bear in mind is to be active. This does not mean that you have to go out and play sports. Of course sports are an excellent way to stay healthy but it's also important to remember that healthy activities can take many different forms like gardening and doing housework, for example. Now let me suggest some ways of doing exercise. In the first place, you should choose an activity that you enjoy and one you'll stick with and then start exercising slowly and try to increase the amount of exercise step by step. Well, that's allI have time for today, so until next time. Good-bye.7、江苏卷(与福建卷的听力一样) 8、江西卷(与福建卷的听力一样)9、辽宁卷(与福建卷的听力一样) 10、宁夏、海南(与福建卷的听力一样)11、全国卷I(与福建卷的听力一样) 12、全国卷II(试卷无听力)13、山东卷(与福建卷的听力一样) 14、陕西卷(试卷无听力)15、四川卷(试卷无听力)16、天津卷61.W: I’m spending my vacation in Hainan this summer.

The teachers like such questions.M: So you thought it different.W: Yes, I expected to see a lot of discussions in class, because we learned that way in the United States.M: I see, that would be a good topic for our school newspaper for the fist month of the term. Nice talking with you.See you around. Bye.W: Bye.17-20W: Good morning, everybody. Today for our writing class, we are glad to have Mr. Henry Stone with us. A well know writer in this country, he is going to share with us his writing experiences. Now, Henry, please tell us how you find so many interesting things for your stories.M: Ok, I watch people a lot, I do that when I travel, I have been to many countries such as Britain, Italy, and Sweden. So I spent a lot of time at the airports, while waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple, they were buying magazines at that moment, they were not wearing business clothes, but the man was carrying a suitcase, every few seconds, the women looked around, I wondered someone was following them.Perhaps they were running away and, you know, this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day: a banker stole one million ponds a week before and disappeared with his wife, there was a picture of them in the paper, the couple really looked like the thieves, maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other. And the women walked away. Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that, but I find things like that very useful for my writing,。
