My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him, but the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A. man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and
nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” for a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time,” and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”
56. By saying “Karl became withdrawn”, the author means that the boy changed entirely and ____.
A. preferred to stay alone at home.

58. The sentence “…he even made the honor roll” means that “____”.
A. he was even on the list to be praised at the parent-teacher meeting
B. he was even on the list of students who made progress in grades
C. he was even on the list of students who had turned themselves around

If a person forgets names, places or facts——and has trouble with everyday things like reading or shopping——it may not mean you are getting old. It could be Alzheimer’s disease. So it’s important to see a doctor as soon as you can.
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s. But a drug called ARICEPT has been used by millions of people to help their symptoms(症状).
In studies, ARICEPT has been proved to work for Alzheimer’s. It has helped people improve their memory over time. It has also helped them to keep doing everyday things on their own.
Ask your doctor if ARICEPT is right for you or your loved one. It is the Number One drug for Alzheimer’s in the world. The sooner you know it’s Alzheimer’s, the better ARICEPT can help.
ARICEPT is good for many but may not be good for everyone. Some people may experience not sleeping well, feeling very tired, or not wanting to eat. In studies, these side effects weren’t serious at all and went away over time. Some people taking ARICEPT may feel light-headed. In this case you should tell your doctors because your condition may get worse.

Discovery
When a 10-year-old boy gets a first class degree in mathematics or an 8-year-old plays chess like a future grand master, they are considered as geniuses. Where does the quality of genius come from? Is it all in the genes(基因) or can any child be turned into a genius? And if parents do have a child who might become a genius in the future, what should they do? In this 30-minute film, Barry Johnson, the professor at School of Medicine, New York University will help you discover the answer.

Is it possible to beat high blood pressure without drugs? The answer is “yes”, according to the researchers at Johns Hopkins and three other medical centers. After a study of 800 persons with high blood pressure, they found that after 6 months, those devoted to weight loss——exercise and eating a low-salt, low-fat food——lost about 13 pounds and became fitter. Plus, 35% of them dropped into the “normal”category(范畴). This week, Dr. Alan Duckworth will tell you how these people reduce their blood pressure to a level similar to what’s achieved with Hypertension drugs.
63. The main purpose of writing these three texts is ____.

Who is there among us who hasn’t dreamed of having his or her own small(maybe, several years later, even big) business, and having wonderful freedom, both from a boss and from the time clock: the freedom to make up our own rules for our work, and our own plans——arranging our own hours of work? That way work would be both painless and fun. Or, so we imagine.
Well, in fact it isn’t quite as simple as that. Yes, it is true that being the boss has its satisfactions and that you can arrange your working hours freely if you own your own small business. But in those early years of starting your own business, you shouldn’t think of a free day, not to mention flying off for a month’s vacation. It is not unusual for new business owners to work seventy or eighty hours a week, and if there is a day off, that day might need to be devoted to accounting(算账).
But this negative picture doesn’t destroy the beautiful hopes. The possibility of getting something wonderful in return——both material and mental——continues to drive that large number of people who start up small businesses each year in the United States.
68. From the first paragraph, we know that everybody hopes ____.
A. to rule others
B. to be his or her own boss
C. to get a time clock
D. to be free from work
69. Most new business owners have to ____.
A. work more than 10 hours a day
B. devote himself to accounting
C. fly to some places in the world
D. have a day off in a week
70. The expression “negative picture” most probably means “____”.
A. a terrible experience
B. a poor picture
C. limited freedom
D. unpleasant situations
71. The beautiful hopes will never be destroyed because ____.
A. people love beautiful things by nature
B. people have a strong desire to seek personal gains
C. small businesses make big money each year in the US
D. small businesses have advantages over big companies
E
The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet(彗星) is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.
On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere(大气层) with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.
Before the waves reach south America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.
Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than ones in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?
72. What is mainly described in the passage?
A. A historic discovery.
B. An event of imagination.
C. A research on space.
D. A scientific adventure.
73. When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes ____.
A. an earthquake
B. damages to cities
C. an Earth explosion
D. huge waves
74. Why can’t the northern half of the earth escape for long?
A. Because the land is covered with water.
B. Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth.
C. Because people there can not live at the temperature of zero.
D Because wars break out among countries.
75. By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove ____.
A. animals could not live in the cold climate
B. what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story
C. the human beings will die out in 2094
D. The Earth could be hit by other objects in space

试题解析：
听力：BCCAC ACBBA CCAAB BCBBC
单项填空：
21、考查名词词义辨析和词语搭配，答案B。

within reach of sb.意为“在某人够不着的地方”。

22、考查准确运用动词时态的能力，答案D，根据句意，此处see的动作应发生在kept looking之前，故用过去完成时态。

23、综合考查冠词以及关系词的使用，答案B。

句意为“曾经一度我讨厌上学。

”a time表示“一度、一段时间”；第二空引
起定语从句，修饰a time，指时间，在定语从句中作时间状语，因此用when引导。

24、考查准确把握句子结构的能力，答案C。

这是一个对时间状语“not until midnight”进行强调的句子，还原应是“He didn’t
go back home after the experiment until midnight.”注意not总是放在until之前。

本句如果not放在句首，句子要用倒装：Not until midnight did he come back home after the experiment.
25、本句包含一个非限定性定语从句，定语从句必须用关系词引导，故可以排除A和B项；C项有关系词，但结构不正确，
只有D项合适，意为“其中较高的那一幢”，故D项为正确答案。

26、本题考查对情态动词的准确理解，答案A，注意题干中的暗示：I am not sure.既然不肯定，就只是一种猜测的“可能”
了。

注意can表示猜测性的可能时，一般用于否定式。

27、考查让步状语从句的从属连词的准确使用的能力，答案A。

however much work意为“不管多少工作”；B项缺how；although
much work和whatever much work皆不妥当。

28、当时间状语从句或条件状语从句中的主语与主句一致或主语是it，谓语是be时，常常可以省略，而使用“从属连词+非
谓语动词”形式。

本题答案D，还原应为“When it is compared with…”。

29、根据句意“使我感到吃惊的不是他所说的内容而是他说话的方式”，只有选项A为正确答案，he said it为定语从句，修
饰the way。

先行词为way时，关系词为that或in which或省略。

30、go用作连系动词，表示“（由好）变（坏）”的意思。

go pale意为“脸色苍白”。

答案C。

31、正确答案D。

辨析与get搭配的动词词组：get away表示“离开”的意思，为不及物动词，后常接from sth./sb.或with (doing)
sth.等。

如：We’re hoping to get away（去度假）for a few days at Easter. I won’t be able to get away from the office (离开)before
7. Two of the prisoners got away(逃走) from their captors. Nobody gets away with insulting me like that.这样侮辱我的人，我是
不会放过的。

get sth. across to sb.表示“（使某事）传播或为人理解”的意思：Your meaning didn’t really get across.你的意思别人并未真正理解。

get through表示“用完、（设法）做或完成某事、及格、正式通过或采纳”等意思：She gets through forty cigarettes a day.她一天抽四十枝香烟。

I’ve got through a lot of correspondence today.今天我处理了一大批信件。

She got all her pupils through French ‘A’ Level.在她的帮助下，所有学生的法语高级考试都及格了。

Do you think the Bill will get through?你认为那方案能通过吗？get in表示“收集或收获（庄稼）”的含义，此处get in the wheat表示“收小麦”的意思。

32、正确答案B。

辨析“不同的动词+to”组成的动词词组的含义：direct to表示“给……指定方向”的意思；stick to表示“坚
持”的意思；lead to表示“导致”的意思；refer to表示“参考、指的是……”的意思。

33、考查准确使用动词时态和语态的能力。

答案C。

根据句意应用被动语态，排除D；“被邀请”这一动作应发生在got married
last week之前，故应用过去完成时态。

34、考查“祈使句+and/or+分句2”这一句型结构，祈使句的谓语动词应该用原形，正确答案为A。

35、考查准确使用动词的能力，答案D。

do在此处表示“足够或能满足（某人/某事物的需要）”的意思，如：Will next Friday
do for our meeting?我们的会议下星期五开行吗？count表示“认可、有效”的意思：You didn’t shut your eyes before you made the wish, so it doesn’t count!你祈求实现愿望时没闭上眼睛，所以不算数！satisfy是及物动词，表示“使某人满足或满意”
的意思：Nothing satisfies him; he’s always complaining.他对什么都不满意，总是抱怨。

fit表示“适合、安装”等意思：The key doesn’t fit the lock.这把钥匙打不开这把锁。

完形填空：
36、答案A，她发现汽车车轮漏气瘪了，决不是幸运的事，排除D；这不是故事发生的最后的事情，排除B；也不是先前做了一件事后立即又做另一件事，所以排除C；这只能是在正常行驶时所发生的意想不到的事情。

37、她想办法将车停靠在路的一侧。

manage表示“设法做好某事”的意思，符合题意，因此D为正确答案。

38、spare tire备用胎，答案A。

39、答案B，来了一辆车并停靠在跟前。

40，41、答案D，B。

车上的两人叫Clay跟着他们到他们家附近的一家汽车服务站去。

40题只有搭配follow才符合句意；下文提及home，离这个service station不远，因此41题选house为最佳答案。

42、答案C，go with sth.表示“与……相配”。

agree with同意某人所说的话；match with与……相配或相当；deal with处理。

43、No luck没有运气，意为家中也没有找到轮胎，答案D。

44、答案A，a set of keys一套（车）钥匙。

45、答案D，将来进行时，句意：到假期结束我们都不会用它的。

46、对陌生人如此放心相助，令她很惊讶，答案C。

答案C。

48、答案B。

帮助者非常放心，对陌生人坦然以待。

49、答案A.。

如果你需要和我们取得联系。

“取得联系”是get in touch with；keep in touch with意为“与……保持联系”，相当于be in touch with。

50、上文已提到帮助者是一对夫妇。

51、答案A，send sb. off在此处意为“将某人送走/打发走”；shake sb. off意为“从某人处逃脱”；watch sb. off意为“注视着某人离开”；dive sb. off意为“击败、击退”。

52、答案C，她回到这个地方。

短文改错：
76. 句意为“我经常有当教师的梦想”，dream of后应接动名词，因此应在其后加being或becoming；77. give改为giving，与standing为并列形式；78. 三个并列谓语的形式应该是do A, do B, and do C，因此but应改为and；79. 时态错，was改为am；80. 应该是“it is +adj.+to do sth.”句型，there改为it；81. knowledge为不可数名词，应去掉“s”或改为learning也可；
82. 本句意为“没有足够的知识，你就教不好书。

”learn用错，应改为teach；83. him改为them，指学生们；84. 正确，注意前几句中的you用来泛指“人们”或“一个人”；85. as多余，去掉。

书面表达：
The students of Class 3 had a discussion about whether it is necessary to start learning English from childhood. Some of them think that English learning should start from childhood. As little boys and girls have a very good memory, they can learn a lot of English words by heart. This will help them lay a solid foundation for their future English learning. But others do not agree. Young children have to learn Chinese pinyin at school. If they study Chinese pinyin and English at the same time, it will be very easy for them to mix them up. This will do a lot of harm not only to their Chinese learning but also to their future English learning. In short, the students have not arrived at any agreement yet.。
