He made little pieces of sculpture—men, women and castle, quaint earthen things dotted over with sea-shells. He painted. Thus he wasted his time on all that was useless, needless. People laughed at him. At times he vowed to shake off his whims, but they lingered in his mind.(3) Some boys seldom ply their books and yet pass their tests. A similar thing happened to this man. He spent his earth life in useless work and yet after his death the gates of Heaven opened wide for him.(4) But mistakes are unavoidable even in Heaven. So it came to pass that the aerial messenger who took charge of the man made a mistake and found him a place in Workers’ Paradise.(5) In this Paradise you find everything except leisure.(6) H ere men say: “God! We haven’t a moment to spare.” Women whisper: “Let’s move on, time’s a-flying.” All exclaim: “Time is precious.” “We have our hands full, we make use of every single minute,” they sigh complainingly, and yet those words make them happy and exalted.(7) But this newcomer, who had passed all his life on Earth without doing a scrap of useful work, did not fit in with the scheme of things in Workers’ Paradise. He lounged in the streets absently and jostled the hurrying men. He lay down in green meadows, or close to the fast flowing streams, and was taken to task by busy farmers. He was always in the way of others. (8) A hustling girl went every day to a silent torrent (silent, since in the Workers’ Paradise even a torrent would not waste its energy singing) to fill her pitcher.(9) The girl’s movement on the road was like the rapid movement of a skilled hand on the strings of a guitar. Her hair was carelessly done; inquisitive wisps stooped often over her forehead to peer at the dark wonder of her eye.(10) The idler was standing by the stream. As a princess sees a lonely beggar and is filled with pity, so the busy girl of Heaven saw this one and was filled with pity.(11 ) “A—ha !” she cried with concern. “You have no work in hand, have you?”(12) The man sighed, “Work! I have not a moment to spare for work.”(13) The girl did not understand his words, and said: “I shall spare some work for you to do, if you like.”(14) The man replied: “Girl of the silent torrent, all this time I have been wait ing to take some work from your hands.”(15) “What kind of work would you like?”(16) “Will you give me one of your pitchers, one that you can spare?”(17) She asked: “A pitcher? You want to draw water from the torrent?”(18) “No, I shall draw pictures on your pitcher.”(19) The girl was annoyed.(20) “Pictures, indeed! I have no time to waste on such as you. I am going.” And she walked away.(21) But how could a busy person get the better of one who had nothing to do? Every day they met, and every day he said to her: “Girl of the silent torrent, give me one of your clay pitchers. I shall draw pictures on it.”(22) She yielded at last. She gave him one of her pitchers. The man started painting. He drew line after line; he put color after color.(23) When he had completed his work, the girl held up the pitcher and stared at its sides, her eyes puzzled. Brows drawn, she asked: “What do they mean, all those lines and colors? What is their purpose?”(24) The man laughed.(25) “Nothing. A picture may have no meaning and may serve no purpose.”(26) The girl went away with her pitcher. At home, away from prying eyes, she held it in the light, turned it round and round and scanned the painting from all angles. At night she moved out of bed, lighted a lamp and scanned it again in silence. For the first time in her life she had seen something that had no meaning and no purpose at all.(27) When she set out for the torrent the next day, her hurrying feet were a little less hurried than before. For a new sense seemed to have wakened in her, a sense that seemed to have no meaning and no purpose at all.(28) She saw the painter standing by the torrent and asked in confusion: “What do you want of me?”(29) “Only some more work from your hands.”(30) “What kind of work would you like?”(31) “Let me make a colored ribbon for your hair,” he answered.(32) “And what for?”(33) “Nothing.”(34) Ribbons were made, bright with colors. The busy girl of Workers’ Paradise had now to spend a lot of time every day tying the colored ribbon around her hair. The minutes slipped by, unutilized. Much work was left unfinished.(35) In Workers’ Paradise work had of late begun to suffer. Many persons who had been active before were now idle, wasting their precious time on useless things such as painting and sculpture. The elders became anxious. A meeting was called. All agreed that such a state of affairs had so far been unknown in the history of Workers’ Paradise.(36) The aerial messenger hurried in, bowing before the elders and made a confession.(37) “I brought a wrong man into this Paradise,” he said. “It is all due to him.”(38) The man was summoned. As he came the elders saw his fantastic dress, his quaint brushes, his paints, and they knew at once that he was not the right sort for Workers’ Pa radise.(39) Stiffly the President said: “This is no place for the like of you. You must leave.”(40) The man sighed in relief and gathered up his brush and paint. But as he was about to go, the girl of the silent torrent came up tripping and cried: “Wait a moment. I shall go with you.”(41) The elders gasped in surprise. Never before had a thing like this happened in Workers’ Paradise—a thing that had no meaning and no purpose at all.III.

(20 points, 2 points for each).41. What do you think is the main point of the story?A. The love of a painter for a pretty girl.B. The opposition between beauty and utility.C.

It is a series of(一系列)sketches(素描)(with something of a story running through them) about the society —the feminine (女性的) society —of a Cheshire village. Their life is described with a mixture(混合) of quiet humor and a delicate(微妙的)sentiment(多愁善感) and with, indeed, deeper feelings openly displayed as well(也). The story is told by a girl named Mary Smith and it centers upon(将…当做中心) Miss Matty —Miss Matilda Jenkyns —an elderly, single lady whose character is one of simple goodness. Other characters are her ladies who form “society”in the village. Cranford has been called “a grown-up fairy tale”and, gentle though it may be, it‟s one of the notable(著名的) books about early Victorian England.习题解析1.

Well-nourished children tend to do all the following but _________.【细节题】7. Which of the following statement is NOT true?【判断题】8. Malnutrition may be caused by __________. 【细节题】9. It is implied in the passage that ________. 【推理题】10. What‟s the main idea of the passage?【主旨题】篇章解析Nutritional (营养的) status affects children‟s behavior. Well-nourished(营养良好的)children are more alert(警惕的,警觉的)and attentive(专心的)and are better able to benefit from physical(身体的)and learning experience. Poorly nourished(营养不良) children may be quiet and withdrawn(沉默寡言的), or too active during class activities. Fat children also face many problems. They are often slow and less able to participate in(参与) physical activity. They may suffer from(遭受)being laughed at(嘲笑)and emotional stress by being excluded from(排斥) playmates.Children‟s resistance(抵抗) to infection(感染) and illness is also definitely influenced by their nutritional status. Children who are well nourished are less likely to(不太可能做某事)become ill; they also recover(恢复)more quickly when they are sick. Poorly nourished children are more sensitive to(对…敏感) infections and illness. Illness also increases the need for some nutrients (营养物质). Thus poor nutrition creates a cycle of illness, poorer nutritional status, and lowered resistance to illness.Malnutrition(营养不良)is a serious problem for many young children but it is not always associated with(把…和联系起来) poverty or a poor environment. Children of middle and upper income families may also be malnourished(营养不良的)because of(由于) unwise food selections. Malnutrition occurs when there is prolonged (拖延的) imbalance(不平衡) of the nutrients that are required and the nutrients that are actually eaten. Malnutrition may be the result of under-nutrition or over-nutrition.It is important that both of these conditions be avoided in young child. An adequate(充足的)intake(摄入) of all required nutrients is most vital during early periods of growth and development. Also, the effects of nutritional deficiency(缺乏)on physical development during early childhood are less likely to be changed by improved dietary(饮食的) intake later.习题解析6. Well-nourished children tend to do all the following but _________.A. be attentive while learningB. be too active in classD. behave very properlychildren may be quiet and withdrawn(沉默寡言的), or too active during class activities.【答案】B7. Which of the following statement is NOT true?A. Children‟s resistance to illness is directly proportional to(与…成正比) their poor nutritional status.B. The well-nourished tend to recover quickly when they are ill.C. The poorly-nourished are most likely to(更有可能做某事) be the victims of any infections disease.D. The …cycle‟ indicates that illness can turn the poor nutritional condition for the worse.【解析】Children‟s resistance(抵抗) to infection(感染) and illness is also definitely influenced by their nutritional status.【答案】A8. Malnutrition may be caused by __________.A. a poor environmentB. unwise food selectionsC. under-nutritionD. all of the above…. but it is not always associated with(把…和联系起来)Children of middle and upper income families may also be malnourished(营养不良 unwise food selections Malnutrition may be the result of under-nutrition or over-nutrition.【答案】D9.

This passage was most probably written in _________. 【推理题】篇章解析In the year 1906 Woodrow Wilson, who was then president of Princeton University said, “Nothing has spread socialistic(社会主义的) feeling in this century more than the automobile(汽车),” and added that it offered “a picture of the arrogance(自大,傲慢)of wealth”. Less than twenty years later, two women of Muncie, Indiana, both of whom were managing on small incomes, spoke their minds to investigators(调查者)gathering facts for that admirable(令人钦佩的,值得赞扬的) study of an American community, Middletown. Said one, who was the mother of nine children. “We‟d rather(宁愿) do without clothes than give up(放弃) the car.” Said the other, “I‟ll go without food before I‟ll see us give up the car.” And elsewhere another housewife, in answer to(响应) a comment on the fact that her family owned a car but no bathtub, uttered(发出)a fitting theme song(主题歌)for the automobile revolution. “Why,” said she, “you can‟t go to town in a bathtub!”This change in the status of the automobile from luxury(奢侈) for the many —a change which, as we shall see, transformed(转变) American communities and daily habits and ideas throughout the half century —did not come about(发生)suddenly. It could not. For it depended upon(依靠)three things. First, a reliable(可靠的), manageable(易操纵的), and not expensive car. Second, good roads. And third, garages and filling stations(加油站) in great number. And all these three requirements had to come slowly, by degrees(逐渐地), each strengthening(加强) the others; a man who had tried to operate(经营) a filling station beside a dusty(落满灰尘的) road in 1906 would have speedily(迅速地)gone bankrupt(破产).习题解析11.

The best title for this passage would be ________. 【主旨题】篇章解析From the beginning of painting in Iceland, it has been the country‟s landscapes(风景) that has been the main subject(主题) for artists.And it should surprise nobody, as closeness to a magnificent(壮丽的) and imposing(壮观的) native land has been the great fountain(喷泉)which has nourished the country‟s children. Not only painters and artists have fed off(以…为食物来源) this source —all Icelanders have to some extent(在一定程度上) received spiritual(精神的) strength and inspiration(灵感) from the country‟s nature.It is because of this that the landscape, the appearance of the country and the moods of nature mean so such to Icelanders. They are moved by pictures from foreign lands. Many places hold a special place in people‟s hearts.Belief in the land is a common expression of those feelings an d views —that the destiny(命运) of land and nation are interrelated(相关的) and that nothing can change this. It is thus maintained(主张), both seriously andjokingly, that Icelanders‟religion lies in(在于)this “belief in the land.”No surprise that pictorial(图像的) representations(代表) of landscape are crucial to Icelanders.The modern age with its variation(变化) and experimentation(实验) in the arts and other fields has created many new outlooks which fly directly in the face of traditional attitudes. These new perspectives(观点) are often fresh winds which prompt(促进) us to reconsider and reform our viewpoints, even if they don‟t overturn(推翻) the old ones. And of course young, creative artists have other things in mind that simply recycling what others have done before them. Those who pioneer(开辟), who present(提出)original(新颖的,独特的)solutions, seldom achieve their breakthroughs(突破) quickly. Their struggle(奋斗) is always exciting —and often the one which bears the most fruit.习题解析16. What is not said about the landscape in Iceland?A. It has always been the main subject for paintings.B.

As far back as childhood, whenever anger had disheveled him, or confusion, or the tick, tick, tick of emptiness like he felt today, he had sought the log road that went to the top of the mountain. As he moved along this road, somewhere the twist of anger would loosen; a shaft of clarity would strike through the scud of confusion; blood would creep back into the pulse and pallor of the emptiness. He would take happiness there, to be alone with it, as another child might keep hidden for a day a toy that wasn’t his.9. The passage suggests that for David Canaan, the logroad is best characterized as which of the following?(A) An antidote(B) A mystery(C) A stimulant(D) An illusion(E) A contradiction10.

Every serious studentin America embarked on a four-year quest, to be taught by a master teacher at a college far away from home,I explained. It was the equivalent of a martial artist’s leaving her village to study kung fu at the Shaolin Temple, I would say. And although she did not do it with grace, she believed me.11. The mother’s statement in line 2-3 (You will... America”) is best characterized as a(A) warning(B) lament(C) concession(D) compliment(E) convictionLine510Question 12-24 are based on the following passages.These passages discuss Pleistocene rewilding: replacingThe large mammals of North America that became extinctduring the Pleistocene epoch with African or Asianrelatives of those animals.Passage 1Humans probably were responsible to some degree for late Pleistocene extinctions of large mammals in North American and elsewhere. Our subsequent activities havecurtailed survival prospects and evolutionary potential for most large vertebrates. For these reasons, as well as for the sake of future human generations and Earth’s plants and animals, citizens and scientists bear an ethical responsibility to vigorously redress these problems through Pleistocene rewilding of North America.Pleistocene rewilding is not a substitute for ongoingconservation projects in Africa or North America. Instead, it centers on restoring ecological function to North America, where the evolutionary potential of many largeanimals were stopped 13,000 years ago and whereecosystems have struggled in the absence of their former members. (The extinction of predators like the American cheetah,, for instance, means that a crucial link in the food chain is broken.) It is also a bold attempt t preserve theevolutionary potential of endangered African and Asiananimals. In doing so, we hope to transform conservationbiology, which is currently too easily characterized as adoom-and-gloom discipline because we merely exposeand try to slow the rate of biodiversity loss. Thischaracterization may discourage people from taking aninterest in conservation. Pleistocene rewilding represents anexciting move away from managing extinction and toward restoring ecological and evolutionary processes by using the past as a guide.In the coming century, we will decide, by default ordesign, how much humanity will tolerate other species and thus decide the future of biodiversity. The default scenario will surely include ever more landscape dominated by pests and weeds, the global extinction of more large vertebrates, and a continuing struggle to slow the loss of biodiversity. While sound science can help mitigate therisks of Pleistocene rewilding, the potential for unexpected consequences will worry many conservationists. Y et given the apparent dysfunction of North American ecosystemsand Earth’s overall state, there are likely significant risks of inaction as well.We ask those who object to Peistocene rewilding.Are you content with the defeatist attitude of our currentconservation philosophy? Are you content that yourdescendants might well live in a world devoid of largeanimals? Are you willing to settle for an Americanwilderness that is severely impoverished relative to just100 centuries ago? Although the obstacles to Pleistocene rewilding are substantial and the risks are not trivial, wecan no longer accept a hands-off approach to wildernessreinvigorate them.. preservation as realistic, defensible, or cost free. It is tie not only to save wild places but also to rewild and reinvigorate them.Passage 2W e all remember Jurassic Park, the fictional accountof rewilding an isolated island with extinct dinosaursre-created from ancient DNA. Pleistocene rewiding of North America is a proposal only slightly less sensational. It is a little like proposing that two wrongs somehow will make a right. The modern-day proxy species —African elephants in a place of American mammoths, etc.,—are “wrong”(that is, different genetically from the species that occurred in North America during the Pleistocene epoch), and the ecosystems into which they are to be reintroduced are “wrong”(that is, different in composition from Pleistocene ecosystems as well as from those in which the modern-day proxy species evolved). Pleistocene rewilding will not restore evolutionary potential to North America’s extinct animals, because the species in question are evolutionarily distinct, nor will it restore the ecological potential of North America’s modern ecosystem, because they have continued to evolve over the past 13,000 years.. In addition, there is a third and potentially greater “wrong”proposed: adding these exotic species could potentially devastate populations of indigenous animals and plants.Although it is argued that Pleistocene rewilding of North America is justified for ecological, evolutionary, economic, aesthetic, and ethical reasons, there are clearly numerous ecological and evolutionary concerns. Y es, the plan might help conserve and maintain the evolutionary potential of some endangered African and Asian animals. But it cannot restore the evolutionary potential of extinct species, and it may irreparably disrupt current ecosystems. Moreover, there are many potential practical limitations to This plan. Reintroduced camels did not survive for long in the deserts of the American W est. Could African mammals, especially large carnivores, really populate the same areas? W ould elephants survive the harsh prairie winters, lacking The thick coats of their American mammoth ancestors?Answering these questions and accomplishing Pleistocene rewilding of North America would require a massive effort and infusion of funds could take moretime to test experimentally than some of these critically endangered species have left to survive in their existing native habitats. If financial and physical resources were available on this scale, they would be better spent on developing new ways to manage and conserve existing populations of African, Asian, and North American wildlife in their native habitats; on conducting ecological, behavioral, and demographic studies of these organisms in the environments in which they evolved; and on educating each continent’s inhabitants about the wonders of their own dwindling flora and fauna.Line51015202530354045 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 5012.

In line 1-9, the author of Passage 1 indicates that Pleistocene rewilding of North America is an “ethical responsibility” in part because(A)scientists have the knowledge and skills neededto accomplish the project(B) scientists have diminished some species’prospects for survival by conducting unsafeexperiments(C) scientists did not foresee the destruction ofNorth American habitats(D) humans likely had a role in the late Pleistoceneextinctions(E) humans depend on animals for their own survival as a species14.

The author of Passage 1 characterizes the “defaultscenario” in lines 31-35 as(A) creative(B) inevitable(C) tolerable(D) unlikely(E) undesirable-7- 17. The author of Passage 2 would most likely characterizethe concern of the “ many conservationists” (line 37,Passage 1) as(A) universal(B) well-founded(C) sentimental(D) diminishing(E) alarmist18. In discussing various “wrongs” (lines 57-73), theauthor of Passage 2 indicates that the most serious oneis the(A) risk that proxy species would severely damageexisting ecological communities(B) probability that proxy species would fail tosurvive because they evolved in differentecosystems(C) fact that proxy species are less adaptable thantheir extinct counterparts were(D) menace that certain proxy species would poseto other proxy species(E) concern that proxy species would return existingecosystems to a state similar to that of thePleistocene epoch19. In line 68, “distinct” most nearly means(A) recognizable(B) strange(C) notable(D) different(E) clear20. In lines 77-79 (“Y es ... animals”), the author ofPassage 2 responds to issues raised in Passage 1 by(A) conceding a point in preparation for a rebuttal(B) summarizing the shortcomings of a proposal(C) objecting strenuously to an idea(D) clarifying a complicated issue(E) offering constructive advice21. In lines 83-84, the author uses the example of“ Reintroduced camels” to suggest that(A) camels in particular were a poor choice forrewilding(B) camels demonstrate the high financial cost ofrewilding(C) other animals might fail to thrive in nonnativeenvironments(D) other animals would equally disruptNorth American habitats(E) large African carnivores are very differentfrom camels22. Both authors use questions (lines 42-47, Passage 1, and lines 84-87, Passage 2) primarily in order to(A) feign confusion(B) anticipate objections(C) pose alternative solutions(D) acknowledge that they do not have all the answers(E) raise doubts about aspects of the opposing argument23. Which best characterizes the function of the final sentence of Passage 2 (lines 93-101)?(A) It debates the merits of an argument.(B) It offers alternatives to a plan.(C) It summarizes a radical new hypothesis.(D) It demands a change in current policies.24.

2010 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(北京卷)-答案

2010 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(北京卷)-答案

2010年北京市高考英语试卷参考答案与试题解析第一部分:听力理解(共三节,30分)略第二部分:知识运用第一节、单项填空(共15小题;每小题l分,共15分)从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

21.【分析】句意:看着同学们的面孔,我从他们的眼中读出了同样的兴奋.【解答】答案A.本题考查非谓语动词作状语.look是谓语动词形式,故排除;to look通常表目的,在此不符合题意;look与I构成逻辑上的主动关系,D项被排除.故选A,现在分词looking.【点评】本题考查非谓语动词做状语,要弄清从句中动词与主句的主语之间的关系,并结合具体的语境选择出正确选项.22.【分析】在美国一些地区的口语中,词尾"r"的发音被省略了.【解答】答案:A.根据动词drop与其逻辑主语即主句的主语the"r"sounds之间构成被动关系可知,选项B和D 错误.C选项be being done是进行式的被动语态,表示"正在被…",与句意不符.因为句意表示的是一种发音方式,是一种语言现象,不是某个时刻正在进行的动作,而是一种长久以来的习惯.故选A.【点评】此题考查时态和语态.解此类题时,一要根据动词与其逻辑主语(句子主语)之间的关系来确定语态(主动/被动);二要根据时间状语或句意来确定时态.23.【分析】句意:﹣早上好,我与人力资源部的史密斯小姐有预约.﹣噢,早上好,您一定是皮特斯女士吧?【解答】答案B.might"可能";must"必须,肯定,偏偏";would"意愿或过去习惯性动作";can"能够,有时会".根据句意,这可能是一个面试.Miss Smith通知Mrs Peters一早过来面试.所以peters一说找smith,接待的人就猜出是谁来了must be一定是,就是,表示说话者很确定的语气.故选B.【点评】本题是中档题,考查情态动词的用法,要掌握词义并熟悉上下文语境的暗示,选择出正确的选项.24.【分析】句意:﹣﹣我还没有吃完饭?﹣﹣但是我们的朋友现在在等我们.【解答】答案D.根据句意,说明我在吃饭的时候,我们的朋友"正在等"我们.这里表示此时此刻正在进行的动作,用现在进行时,故选D.【点评】本题考查现在进行时,表示现在正在进行的动作,要结合上下文语境选择出正确选项.25.【分析】句意:我打电话来咨询下昨天中国日报上刊登的职位信息.【解答】答案A.in yesterday's China Daily做后置定语修饰the position,advertise与the position之间是被动的关系.故用过去分词短语做后置定语.故选:A.【点评】本题考查过去分词短语做后置定语.26.【分析】﹣﹣不好意思,我没听懂你说的话.你刚才是说你想要9月20号回来吗?﹣﹣对不起,我没能表达清楚.我们想要10月20号回来.【解答】答案D.本题考查时态.根据句意可知,说话者的意思是"我没能表达明白"导致你现在没听懂,这是过去的动作对现在造成的影响或结果,因而应该用现在完成时.A选项用过去完成时,而过去完成时是在过去某个动作之前的动作,显然在本句中没有形成先后动作的时间对比.故选D.【点评】时态题的考查关键是抓住句子的上下文含义和句中的时间状语.要根据时间状语来选择合适的时态,在平时的学习中要注意积累有关时态的用法和各种时态的特殊之处.27.【分析】句意为:那些不怎么活跃的孩子,或者(那些)饮食很油腻的,胖得很快.【解答】答案:B,句中含有两个定语从句,who are not active or____diet is high in fat两个定语从句通过连词or并列,他们的饮食,就只能用whose.句中两个定语从句修饰chilren,所以本题选择B.【点评】whose意思是谁的,定语从句里面不光指人,像"房子的,车子的,包包的"都可以,比如,The newly built café,the walls of_______are painted light green,is really a peaceful place for us,specially after hard work.28.【分析】句意:我花费了很长时间才完全领会他们为我所做的.【解答】答案A.句中was able to表示发生在过去的时间,而根据句意他们为我所做的,应该已经做完了,发生在took这个动作之前,即过去的过去,故选A【点评】本题是基础题,考查过去完成时,时态的题目很多要通过上下文的判断得知.过去完成时表示动作发生在过去的过去.29.【分析】你能不能不要摘花园里的花?这些花是给所有人欣赏的.【解答】答案:C,for表示"为了",即这些花是给所有人欣赏的.to everyone's enjoyment对于每个人的快乐来说.一般只能做状语,意思是"让大家开心的是",类似于to one's surprise,for one's surprise是指"为了每个人的快乐",表示目的.所以本题选择for.【点评】考查介词时主要看介词和名词之间的搭配,或是动词、形容词和介词之间的搭配,在理解句意的基础之上,选用适当介词.30.【分析】句意:一旦学生们决定了要上哪所大学,他们应该研究申请此大学的入学申请程序.【解答】答案D.as"因为,随着,虽然,当…时候,作为,按照";while"虽然,当…时候";until"直到…";once"一旦".根据句意,本题需要一个条件状语从句,"一旦决定…",故选D.【点评】本题是中档题,考查从属连词的使用,要熟悉从属连词的具体用法并结合语境,选择出正确选项.31.【分析】句意为:我想要因我的内在而被喜欢,被爱.【解答】答案:C,这一道题必须从语义上去选择答案,这里强调的是我想被人喜欢,而喜欢我的人是喜欢我内在,而不是我的外在的东西,更不是我这个人,for是介词,所以后面的句子是宾语从句,宾语从句中缺少表语,所以需要用连接代词,排除B和D.如果用who表达不出,我渴望被理解,渴望被爱的感觉,who I am inside指我内心里是谁,我从心里看是谁,表达的是一种疑问,对自身的怀疑,what I am inside我的内在是什么我具有什么,更贴近句子的意思.【点评】本句容易误选who.当从句中缺少主语或宾语、表语时,指人一般用who/whom,但如果表示人的内在所具有的品质时,一般用what,比如:My mother made me what I am today.(我妈妈造就了今天的我).32.【分析】句意:查尔斯.狄更斯更喜欢自己的小说≤大卫.科波菲尔≥的部分原因是这本书是以他的真实生活为原型创造的.【解答】答案B.__it was rather closely modeled on his own life是表语从句,这里缺少一个引导词,而在表语从句中,句子结构完整,意义表达清晰,并且不缺少任何成分.故用连接词that,选B.【点评】本题考查表语从句中引导词的用法,要分析句子结构是否完整并结合具体的语境选择出正确选择.33.【分析】句意为:被一些人认为是缺点的东西却被其他很多人认为是优点.【解答】答案:B,本句中含有主语从句,what some people regard as a drawback是主语从句,从句中,regard缺少宾语,Whether和that在从句中不充当任何成分,how充当状语,所以可以排除其他选项.regard…as和see…as都是把.看作.【点评】本句考查主语从句的连接代词.句中is是系动词,也是判断一些主语从句的关键,is之前的是主语,is 后面的是表语从句,构成主系表结构.然后再根据从句中的具体情况作出正确选择.34.【分析】句意为:﹣﹣天气太热太干燥.﹣﹣对.要是当时下一滴雨,情况现在就好多了,我的蔬菜当时就不会死了.【解答】答案:D这里things would be much better now,说明与现在情况相反的虚拟语气,句中有now,所以不能用things would have been much better表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,后半句中表示的事实是"我的蔬菜死了"这应该是过去的事情,所以后面用D.【点评】本题考查混合式虚拟语气,前半句是对现在的情况的虚拟,而后半句是对过去的事情的虚拟,这一点需要看清.35.【分析】句意:第一印象是最持久的.毕竟,你永远不可能有第二次机会去再给别人留一次第一印象.【解答】答案:C.根据句意"你永远不可能有第二次机会去再给别人留一次第一印象."可知,这里"___a second chance"是指又一次机会,后面"make__first impression"是指再留一次第一印象,而序数词前面加不定冠词,意为"又一,再一",故a符合语境,所以选C.【点评】本题考查冠词的用法.冠词主要分为不定冠词(a/an泛指)、定冠词(the特指)和零冠词.要掌握各个冠词的主要用法,再结合语境作答.还要注意冠词在一些固定短语的使用.第二节、完形填空(共1小题;每小题l.5分,共30分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的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.【分析】本文是一篇记叙文.通过加入舞台设计小组和遇到Mrs.Neidl对作者的影响,作者彻底改变了自己,发现了自己的兴趣和价值,并且变得更加自信和坚强.【解答】36.B考查连词辨析.根据前面unpleasant voice和direct way of speaking是消极意向,后面encouraging 和inspiring是积极意向,因此需填转折连词,四个选项中A表并列,C表结果,D表原因,只有B选项yet表转折.故选B.37.A考查名词辨析.根据第二段第二句话"她想知道我认为我们该怎样处理事情"直接提示了这个空应该选观点opinion这个词.第二段倒数第四句话中也出现了这个词从而验证了其正确性.故选A.38.C考查动词辨析.根据后面发生的一系列事情可以看出作者在这个活动中要处理很多的事情.故选C.39.D考查代词辨析.根据句子前半句中的"had no idea"可知,开始我不知如何回答是因为我对舞台设计"一无所知"."know nothing about sth"意为"对某事一无所知".故选D.40.A考查名词辨析.根据第二段第一句中的"ask提问"及第四句中的"answer回答"可知,这里应填"question问题"这个词,respond toher questions.故选A.41.D考查动词辨析.根据文意推断,作者开始并没有观点,由于她相信我有观点所以我形成了观点.故选D.42.C考查形容词辨析.解题线索在后半句"so I began to show up to paint more and more"作者做的事情变多是Mrs.Neidl信任的结果,说明我是个可信赖(reliable)的人,C选项符合题意.其他三个选项happy高兴的lively活泼的和punctual准时的都不能表达出这种合理的因果关系.另外迷惑性较大的lively通常用来形容物.故选C.43.B考查名词辨析.根据引号里是一句鼓励性质的话,而且前面"that year"也是线索,说明这话是她的motto座右铭.迷惑性较大的C选项saying是谚语的意思,往往是人们长期形成的对生活及经验的总结,强调群体性及时间性,故不合适,message信息,suggestion建议,不合题意.故选B.44.D考查副词辨析.本题难度较大,解题关键词是介词"over",表覆盖.选择later可以理解为"如果没有画好,稍后可以再画一次覆盖在之前的画上."more更多,Instead代替,不合题意.迷惑性最大的是again.表示"再一次、又一次",但是放在这里与over意思重复,paint overit later相当于paint it again,.故选D.45.D考查名词辨析.take risks固定搭配,冒险.通读全文发现作者是开始很不自信,第四段开头也提示了作者"shy","quiet",因此动笔画画对他来说是个冒险,是自我突破的过程,文章最后一段也提到了take chances冒险.故选D.46.A考查动词辨析.improve upon改进.根据本段开头的座右铭"试试吧,我们永远可以重画一次."可知,不存在失败,只存在改进.act upon按照、对…起作用;look upon看待,考虑;reflectupon考虑,回顾;均不符题意.故选A.47.C考查副词辨析.本段主要描写了作者从不敢做到敢做的过程,根据前文提示可知,作者曾很不自信,后来在Mrs.Neidl的鼓励下自信地拿起了画笔.故选C.48.B考查动词辨析.根据语境可知,因为我在这个项目中付出的时间和努力,我开始被认可.be recognized as"被公认为、被承认";be introduced"被介绍、引入";be identified as"被确定是",有验证身份的意思;be considered as"被认为、被当作".其中be recognized as有"被大家承认、被普遍接受"的意思,表意更准确.故选B.49.C考查动词辨析.解题关键词是"want".作者意识到自己想要的是什么,所以用realized.迷惑项是decided 决定.可以说决定要什么,但不可以说决定想什么,因为想法是不可控制的.故选C.50.A考查介词辨析.根据语境可知,与Mrs.Neidl在舞台设计小组的这段时间令我彻底改变了.故选A.51.B考查动词辨析.根据句意"我发现了一种很强烈的愿望和一个我原来都不知道存在的世界,可以判断原来不知道存在,现在"发现了"更为贴切.故选B.52.B考查动词辨析.根据语境可知,"她教会我不要去在乎别人认为我该怎么做",care在乎,符合文意.accept 接受,judge判断,wonder怀疑均不合文意.故选B.53.D考查形容词辨析.根据前面说take chance冒险,后面理所当然说不要怕(失败),而且前文反复出现了afraid这个词,是全篇的关键词.bored无聊的,lazy懒惰的,sad伤心的,在文中均无体现.故选D.54.A考查名词辨析.通读全文会发现文中多次提到Mrs.Neidl对作者的信任,并在第三段明确使用了trust这个词,因此推断出答案.故选A.55.C考查形容词辨析.根据语境可知,"她对我的信任激励我完成以前认为不可能的事情","never imagined possible"等于"imagined impossible."认为不可能的,贴合文意.故选C.【点评】解答此类题目可遵循以下步骤:第一步,通读全文,了解文章大意,获得整体印象,同时初选出一批较有把握的答案.第二步,边核对初选答案边补填留下的空格.如果短文难度较大,则可复读几遍,核对和确定答案.有些空一时决定不了,可作个记号,待复查时再确定.第三步,复查定稿.从整体理解角度出发,仔细审核答案,确保意义上、语法上没有错误,同时对遗留下来的少数几个空格作最后选择.第三部分、阅读理解(共两节,40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的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.【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,记叙了作者在她家门口有一条狗,起名为戈尔迪,刚开始这只狗在她家很不安,但是几周后戈尔迪平静下来,当作者和戈尔迪一起散步的时候,戈尔迪跑回以前的家(农场).【解答】56.答案:B.细节理解题.由原文第2段She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her.There was nothing I could do to make her happy,it seemed.Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's.划线句子表明作者同情被遗弃的小狗,希望帮助它高兴起来.57.答案:A.细节理解题.由第二段第二行"She was so unsettled during those first few days.She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her."可知在最初几天里,她是如此的不安.她几乎没有吃任何东西,所以选A.58.答案:D.细节理解题.由倒数第三段最后一句"Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could."最后我抱不住她了,于是她冲到地上,尽快地跑向远处的一个农舍.可知她找到了自己熟悉的地方,所以选D59.答案:A.推理判断题.由第一段作者先发现狗、第二段第二行"She was so unsettled during those first few days、第五行But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down."可以推出答案,所以选A【点评】做此类阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序;注意作者的议论和抒情;把握作者态度;有章有据进行解题判断.【分析】本文是一封来自编辑写给编辑的信.信中讲述了一位记者希望编辑能够激发他的潜力,而作者也受之启发,规劝编辑们应该注重记者们的发展.【解答】60.答案C.细节理解题.根据文章"He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him.He wants to be pushed,challenged,coached to new heights"可知,作者描述的记者想挑战自己,以达到一个更高的高度."Optimistic"乐观的."Imaginative"富有想象力的."Ambitious"有雄心抱负的."Proud."自豪的.故选C.61.答案D.细节理解题,根据文章"He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into grea t ones"可知,记者希望编辑能够帮助他将他的想法变得更好,即改进他的想法.故选D.62.答案A.推理预测题.根据文章"Open Letter to an Editor"可知,这封信是写给编辑的,通读全文,记者向作者聊天,而作者又在结尾规劝编辑,则可推测写这篇文章,知道记者的想法的作者,也是编辑.故选A.63..答案C.细节理解题.根据文章"Our best hope in keeping our best reporters,copy editors,photographers,artists﹣﹣﹣everyone﹣﹣is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential"可知,这封信是希望编辑能注重发展记者们的潜力.故选C.【点评】本文考查政治经济类文章的阅读水平,学生需要认真阅读原文,把握文章大意,对文章脉络有整体的了解,能仔细查找文中细节,并能根据文章内容进行合理的推测判断【分析】本文是一篇说明文,主要阐述是有关语速和停顿的相关信息.交谈是一种轮回转换的游戏,不同文化的人说话的节奏和方式都是不一样的.说话语速和停顿是一个谈话的技巧,是人们谈话的个性和能力.习惯上的不同常常建立在危险的思维定式上,一些社会现象可能导致严重的个人后果.【解答】64.C推理判断题.根据文章第3段2,3行"Betty often felt interrupted by Sara.But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland.And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel."可知,Sara发现自己很难插话,是因为Betty没有按照说话的轮次来.导致两个人说话总是被打断.故C正确.65.B推理判断题.根据文章第三段最后一句"Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel."可知,美国人或者以色列人说话的停顿很短,Sara很难插话.以色列人说话的节奏和美国人说话的节奏是类似的,所以把这两者放在一起进行比较.故B正确.66.C推理判断题.根据文章第4段前3行"The general phenomenon,then,is that the small conversation techniques,like pacing and pausing,lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities.These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping(思维定式).And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences."可知一个人讲话的能力是受到他所在的文化和思维方式影响的.故C正确.67.D细节理解题.根据文章第五段"When she was evaluated at the end of the year,she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up"可知,她会在那个自信养成培训课程上被登记成什么样.故选D.【点评】解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.【分析】本文是说明文,主要讲述的是高等教育成本,个人必须为其接受的高等教育付费,大学毕业生收入比非大学毕业生高.同时,社会流动更依赖于学历.然而只有一些人拥有学历.因此并非纳税人,而是个人必须为此付费.有保障的薪酬是辛勤工作的宿敌,当教师变得懒惰与无能,学生也会同样懒惰.如果学生必须为其所受教育付费,他们不仅会更加努力地学习,还会希望从老师那里获取更多.而且他们的老师必须使他们满意.那意味着认真治学,且没有太多时间让他们从事为自己的利益进行的研究.【解答】68.B词意猜测题.根据本句中"There are pressing calls on the resources(资源)of the government.Using taxpayers'money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them."可知,很多地方迫切需要政府资源.用纳税人的钱来帮助少数人在未来获取高收入并非其中(迫切需要的政府资源)之一.故选B.69.D细节理解题.根据题干关键词"full government funding"定位原文,根据第二段"Full government funding(资助)is not very good for universities….and when the academics were lazy and incompetent,the students were similarly lazy.""lazy"转换成"spend less time"故选D.70.A推理判断题.根据第四段"Many people believe that higher education should be free…"可知,作者用来支持支持自己的论点(个人必须为其接受的高等教育付费),也就是要反对free higher education.【点评】解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的七个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.【分析】本文是一篇选句填空阅读,下次你进入银行,商店或者超市,停下来听一听,你听到了什么?在商店里播放的那些背景音乐与日常音乐很相似,但是能让人轻松,因为这种音乐尤其旨在让你放松,或给你额外能量,有时你甚至没有意识到音乐响起,但无论如何音乐对你起了作用.本文以此展开,讲述了助兴音乐.【解答】71.C.联系下文题.根据下一句"It's similar to the music you listen to,but it's not exactly the same"可知,在商店里播放的那些背景音乐与日常音乐很相似,但是能让人轻松.故选C.72.B.段落理解题.根据本段内容可知,本段讲述的是这些音乐的作用,能让人放松,能给人特别的能量(The music gives them extra energy).故选B.73.F.语境辨析题.本句句意为"很多音乐家喜欢他们的音乐会被Muzak所使用,因为他们可以从中挣很多的钱",根据"Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak,but others are happy when their songs are chosen.Why?"可知,一些音乐家或者词曲作者不希望他们的歌曲作为助兴音乐,但其他人很高兴当他们的歌曲被选择,为什么?故F项:They get as much as$4million a year if their songs are used.如果他们的歌曲被使用,每年他们会获得400万美元,符合语境.故选F.74.D.段落理解题.本句句意为"工厂工人生产多出13%"本段Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background提及这样的音乐能让那些疲惫的人提高生产效率,购物者多买东西.故C项内容与段落大意相符.故选D.75.A.联系上文题.根据But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places.但是其他人喜欢在公共场所听这种音乐.可知,一些人不喜欢这样的音乐.符合语境,故选A.【点评】本文是一篇选句填空阅读,主要考查学生对文章内容理解及上下文联系,做题时,应仔细阅读原文,对照原文内容结合所给选项含义,联系上下文,从而得出正确答案.切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.第四部分:书面表达第一节情景作文【分析】本文是图画类作文,要求根据四幅图的先后顺序,叙述帮助祖父母去北戴河的旅行从准备到送行的全过程.又是一种情景作文.在写作时,描述图片应以第一人称和过去时态为主.根据情景的发展,抓住细节按顺序安排好材料.重要短语:the trip to sp….(去…的旅行),….together with….(和…一起),searched sth for…(寻找…),manage to do(成功做某事),buy sth for sb(买某物给某人),see sb off(为某人送行…),wave goodbye to sb(向某人挥手告别),wish sb sth(祝愿某人…).【解答】Last weekend,I helped my grandparents prepare their trip to Beidaihe.On Saturday morning,together with my grandparents,I searched the Internet for the train schedule,the weather in Beidaihe,and some hotelinformation.(上网查询时刻表、关注天气、宾馆信息)【高分句型】In the afternoon,I went to the train station and managed to buy two tickets for my grandparents although there was a long queue.(车站买票)After dinner,I packed into the suitcase the things my grandparents need,such as clothes,glasses,an umbrella,and a map.(打包准备行李)The next morning,I went to the station to see them off.Waving goodbye to them on the platform,I felt happy for them and wished them a safe journey.【高分句型】(送行)【点评】看图作文要求将画面所包含的有效信息用文字表达出来,并适当拓展并发挥想象.如果是记叙文类的素材,要注意故事的时间、地点、人物、事件的起因、过程、结果这六个要素;如果是说明文或议论文,首先要对图画的内容进行描述,然后围绕图画的信息进行说明或议论.写作时注意准确运用时态,上下文意思连贯,尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式,同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次.【分析】本文为看图作文,主题是"不管面对多大困难,始终要坚持不懈,百折不挠,成功定会到来".写作时可按"二段式"来写,首先描述图片点明主题,然后分析概述其含义,发表感想.基本时态为一般现在时,人称以第三人称为主.重要短语:struggle

READING COMPREHENSIONRead the two passages and choose the most likely answer to each of the questions. And write the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet. (2 points each, 20 points in all)Passage 1The hottest issue that has captured the attention of everyone across the globe is the issue of Global Warming. After examining different researches and observations very carefully, it has been concluded that the overall temperature of the Earth is rising. Solid scientific findings have turned that from a mere theory to a harsh reality. And the worst part of this is that the bad effects of rising temperatures on eco-systems have already started to appear.In a global movement to reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere many initiatives are being taken both at private and government level. Many developed nations in theworld have already started producing energy from eco-friendly means like solar, wind and thermal power. All these environment friendly sources of energy are also called green energy or green technology. With the use of green technology, efforts are underway to reduce the utilization of fossil fuels to produce energy. Several “Green Technologies”like water purification, recycling, sewerage and solid waste treatment and renewable energy are being successfully employed to achieve goals.Many worldwide and global organizations are working with great efforts in order to conserve our environment and reduce the effects of Global Warming. But as an individual, you can also contribute by not contributing towards Global Warming. Several environmental organizations are promoting the use of energy saving and eco-friendly products. By choosing these “Green products”and refusing to use the old products which posed a threat to the atmosphere, each individual can also play a significant role.Most manufacturing companies have started to produce eco-friendly and Green products for customers in order to become a part of the solution. Eco-friendly cars also known as “hybrid cars”are being manufactured on a limited scale to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Similarly many Environment friendly electronics and home appliances are available in the markets which are also affordable. These Green electronics have their power sources in solar and thermal power which is perfectly safe for the environment.Green products like solar chargers and energy saver bulbs not only give better results by using less energy but they are also low-cost. Water saving spout is a great alternative to a normal tap, as it hugely reduces the waste of water. Its thermal censors allow the water to flow only when a human hand is under it and helps save up to 70% of normal water usage. Other green electronics include environmental air and water filters, solar battery chargers, energy saving kitchen appliances, vacuum cleaners and other home appliances that use less energy.Each and every individual, irrespective of race and nationality, must unite and contribute to reduce Global Warming. Even if we cannot make a big contribution, by ensuring the use of Green products we can at least cease to be a part of the problem. The threat that Global Warming poses is in fact directed towards each and every human and animal living on Earth. By adopting Green living we can help save the Earth, which is by far the most beautiful place in the whole Universe.41. According to the passage, Global Warming has aroused peoples’attention because ________ .A. it has gradually changed people’s way of livingB. many scientists have warned people of its dangerC. it has brought harmful effects on the environmentD. many governments have taken actions against it42. What does the author try to emphasize in paragraph 3?A. The importance of organizations’work.B. The necessity of individuals’effort.C. The popularity of green products.D. The threat from the old products.43. Which of the following can best describe the characteristics of “Green products”?A. User-friendly and labor-saving.B. Producer-friendly and cost-saving.C. Energy-saving and environment-friendly.D. Pollution-reducing and consumer-friendly.44. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “irrespective”in the last paragraph?A. Not considering.B. Not announcing.C. Not demanding.D. Not mentioning.45. Which of the following is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Global Warming is getting more and more serious.B. We must do everything we can to save our planet.C. All nations should unite to stop Global Warming.D. Everyone’s effort is needed to cope with Global Warming.Passage 2When seventh graders in Stockton took a field trip to see elephant seals, they didn’t even step outside their school. Instead, with the help of a projector and a video camera, the students teleconferenced with a state park guide on the California coast.Across a distance of 100 miles, students on the so-called “virtual field trip”got to talk with a guide, watch seals throw sand on themselves, and hear the beasts belch and bark. “If you can’t go somewhere, this can be the next best thing,”says Craig Wedegaertner, “or, it can be used to prepare students before they go there.”As the days grow long and the school calendar short, field trip season is in full swing. But with fuel prices rocketing, some schools are discovering virtual field trips as a cost-effective way to add new—or farther afield—excursions.As of last month, more than 1,125,000 students have participated in virtual field trips organized through the CILC (Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration) website alone. Some 150 institutions—from National Aeronautics and Space Administration to the Bronx Zoo—list trips on the site, and each month sees another three or four additions.The technology has been around for years, but it’s only now gaining widespread adoption in classrooms, says Ms. Blangkenbaker. There are several reasons: more schools with broadband, wider options for trips, rising costs for travel, and falling prices for teleconference systems. “With this technology, you have erased the geographic boundaries of your field trip experience with one$1,500 to $5,000 expenditure (on equipment),“she says.When Pluto was demoted as a planet, Cheryl Dultz’s set up a teleconference with a NASA educator who explained the reasons for the demotion to her third grade class in Citrus Heights, Calif. Like many proponents of the trend, she dislikes the term “virtual field trip”because it suggests that virtual trips might replace, rather than supplement, traditional trips.“It would never take the place of a field trip, and in fact, I take as many field trips as I did before,”says Ms. Dultz. “I use the tool as an opportunity to have my students interact with experts in the field.”That’s what organizations hosting virtual field trips are hoping. California State Parks, for instance, set up the elephant seal trip to introduce a new, more diverse generation to the parks—and spur interest in eventually visiting. “The goal is laudable (值得称道的) and part of pioneering efforts by park systems across the country to reverse declining attendance,”says Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.“The problem is I can see school districts say, ‘Why should we pay for buses if we can just do this?’”he says. “Classroom learning about nature is terrific, including a virtual field trip. But I would not classify that as experience. What kids are missing now is not information. What they need most is the hands-dirty, feet-wet experience in nature.”Virtual field trips, by comparison, are often free once the school invests in the equipment. The cost of one teleconferencing system is only slightly higher than that of busing two classes to see those elephant seals in person. But Dr. Small emphasizes that he doesn’t anticipate reducing traditional trips. He still plans to send his students to the state capitol.

The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, reordering, 51 revising.Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in mind a funny, exciting production.However, when Phantom opened in London in 1986, the audience saw a moving psychological love story set to music.The musical had.52 several revisions due, in part, to problems with costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆).For instance, Lloyd Webber 53 some of the music because the Phantom's makeup prevented the actor from singing certain sounds.When you revise, you change aspects of your work in 54 to your evolving purpose, or to include 55 ideas or newly discovered information.Revision is not just an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an assignment.56 , it is a major stage of the writing process, and writers revise every step of the way.Even your decision to 57 .topics while prewriting is a type of revising.However.don't make the mistake of skipping the revision stage that follows 58 .Always make time to become your own 59 and view your dress rehearsal, so to speak.Reviewing your work in this way can give you 60 new ideas.Revising involves 61 the effectiveness and appropriateness of all aspects of your writing, making your purpose more clearly, and refocusing or developing the facts and ideas you present.When you revise, ask yourself the following questions, keeping in mind the audience for whom you are writing: Is my main idea or purpose 62 throughout my draft? Do I ever lose sight of my purpose? Have I given my readers all of the 63 that is, facts, opinions,inferences -- that they need in order to understand my main idea? Finally, have I included too many 64details that may confuse readers?50.A.technique B.style C.process D.career51.A.in particular B.as a result C.for example D.in other words 52.A.undergone B.skipped C.rejected D.replaced 53.A.rewrote B.released C.recorded D.reserved 54.A.addition B.response C.opposition D.contrast55.A.fixed B.ambitious C.familiar D.fresh 56.A.However B.Moreover C.Instead D.Therefore 57.A.discuss B.switch C.exhaust D.cover58.A.drafting B.rearranging C.performing D.training 59.A.director B.master C.audience D.visitor 60.A.personal B.valuable C.basic D.delicate61.A.mixing B.weakening C.maintaining D.assessing 62.A.amazing B.bright C.unique D.clear63.A.angles B.evidence C.information D.hints 64.A.unnecessary B.uninteresting C.concrete D.final(A)The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep.A few dogs started barking at it.The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.That didn't stop the elephant.It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people.The villagers were scared and angry.Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer.He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk.He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle.After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city.But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old fife."Life in the city is too dull.Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun."My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years.Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land.It is now fighting back.Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called toguide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion.A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant."Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them.They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal.An elephant princess indeed!65.For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to .A.get long lasting excitement B.keep both man and elephants safeC.send them back to the jungle D.make the angry elephants tame66.Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, .A.she spent her time hunting with her father B.she learned how to sing love songsC.she had already been called an elephant princes D.she was taught how to hunt tigers67.Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because __________.A.they are caught and sent for heavy work B.illegal hunters capture them and kill themC.they are attacked and their land gets limited D.dogs often bark at them and chase them68.The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _________.A.people easily fall victim to elephants' attacks B.the man-elephant relationship is getting worse C.elephant tamers are in short supply D.dogs are as powerful as elephants(BThe following card includes a brief summary and a short assessment of a research paper.It can provide a guidefor further reading on the topic.Trevor, C. O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, "Employee turnover (人事变更) and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion", Journal of Armchair Psychology, vol. 113, no.1, pp. 56-64.In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect of job performance, turnover rates and employees' job attitude. The authors use data gained through organizational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor et al. suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a variety of differences in employees' job attitude and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. As this article was published in a professional journal, the findings can be considered reliable. It will be useful additional information for the research on pay structures.69.The research paper published is primarily concerned withA.the way of preventing employee turnover B.methods of improving employee performanceC.factors affecting employee turnover and performance D.pay structures based on employee performance 70.As is mentioned in the card, the limitation of the research paper mainly lies in that .A.the data analysis is hardly reliable B.the research sample is not wide enoughC.the findings are of no practical value D.the research method is out-of-date71.Who might be most interested in this piece of information?A.Job hunters.B.Employees in blue-chip companies. C.Mid-level managers.D.Researchers on employee turnover.(C)The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about.But one more has just been added - a communications blackout caused by solar storms.After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and interact links sending five Olympic broadcast from London."The Sun's activity has a strong influence on the Earth.The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites," said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun's atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter." A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour.Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications," Professor Harrison added.The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number ofsunspots.Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.Professor Richard Hold away, the lab's director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth "If we have advance warning, we'll be able to reduce the damage.What you don't want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what's caused the problem," he said.72.The phrase "communications blackout" in paragraph 1 most probably refers to during the 2012 Olympics.A.the extinguishing of the Olympic torch B.the collapse of broadcasting systemsC.the transportation breakdown in London D.the destruction of weather satellites73.What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage?A.The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth.B.The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.C.It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth.D.The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections.74.According to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to _ _A.take images of the solar system B.provide early warning of thunderstormsC.keep track of solar activities D.improve the communications on Earth75.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Solar Storms: An Invisible Killer B.Solar Storms: Earth Environment in Danger76.Nowadays.millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other drugs.Research by the American National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA, 1999) shows that around 2% of the population over age 12 were using drugs non-medically.77.NIDA views medications as a powerful force for good in the contemporary world.They reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease.They make it possible for doctors to perform complicated surgery to save lives.Many people afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control their symptoms and become active, contributing citizens.NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drags use them in a responsible.78.Nevertheless.overuse of drugs such as opioids, central nervous system (CNS) depressants and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is therefore becoming a serious public health concern.Although this abuse affects many people worldwide, particular trends of concern to the medical profession in the US appear among older adults, teenagers arid women.79.Though it may be a surprise to many, the misuse of medications may be the most common form of drug abuse among the elderly.Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University, North Carolina states that although the elderlyrepresent about 13% of the US population, those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs.People in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer compliance with instruction for use.In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs, 70% were women who had overused medicines.80.Unfortunately, this trend among women does not only affect those aged over In general, among women and men who are using either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative, women are twice as likely to become addicted.In addition, statistics compiled for 12-17 year olds show that teenage girls are more likely than teenage boys to begin overusing psychotherapeutic medication such as painkillers, tranquillisers, stimulants and sedatives.Section D Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心课程),but with a difference.While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class.Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance.In this way,kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life.Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum.In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P.E.on the chopping block, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids.The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard."Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added.The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support.Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have demonstrated how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be.They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country than when they played sports.The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because reluctant students were able to sit on the bench.Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a tiny percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school.The new method teaches sells that translate to adulthood. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.In the new P.E.program, children learn to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance rather than __ 82.As for P.E., some school boards either83.What are the two problems with simply teaching group sports?84.What is the long-term benefit of the new P.E program?1.这本杂志花了我20多元。

ESSAY
Time—25 minutes Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. Why do we not value the creative arts more than we do? Why are subjects like music, drama, photography, and creative writing always the first to be cut from school budgets during hard times? Many would answer that, unlike math, science, history, and other subjects taught in school, the arts are unnecessary. But this is so untrue. The arts are as necessary as these other subject areas—possibly even more necessary. Assignment: Is it absolutely necessary for people to study the creative arts? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. I spent some part of every year at the farm until I was twelve or thirteen years old. The life that I led there was full of charm and so is the memory of it yet. I can call back the faint odors of wildflowers, the sheen of rain-washed foliage, the clatter of raindrops when the wind shook the trees, and the far-off hammering of woodpeckers. I can call back the prairie—and its loneliness and peace.

years. As far back as childhood, whenever anger had disheveled him, or confusion, or the tick, tick, tick of Line emptiness like he felt today, he had sought the log road 5 that went to the top of the mountain. As he moved along this road, somewhere the twist of anger would loosen; a shaft of clarity would strike through the scud of confusion; blood would creep back into the pulse and pallor of the emptiness. He would take happiness there, to be alone with 10 it, as another child might keep hidden for a day a toy that wasn’t his.
