第二部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
第一节单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

21．It doesn’t make sense ________ after ________.You should cheer up and practice hard instead.
A．to complain; being defeated
B．complain; defeating
C．complain; being defeated
D．to complain; defeating
解析：选A。

考查非谓语动词的用法。

根据句子结构可知，it在句中作形式主语，动词不定式作真正的主语，由此可以排除B、C两项；根据句意可知，you与defeat是动宾关系，即要用被动形式，由此可以排除D项。

22．It is reported that the police will soon ________ the case of the two missing children.
A．look upon B．look after
C．look into D．look out
解析：选C。

句意为：据报道警察很快将着手调查两个孩子失踪的那个案件。

look into 意为“调查，检查”，符合句意。

look upon意为“旁观”，look after意为“照顾，照料，管理”，look out意为“向外看”，均不合题意。

23．Though plastic bags really brought convenience to us, they also ________ many problems for the environment.
A．led to B．referred to
C．contributed to D．appealed to
解析：选A。

lead to导致；refer to提到，涉及；contribute to有助于；appeal to吸引……。

24．Everything was perfect for the picnic ________ the weather.
A．in place of B．as well as
C．except for D．in case of
解析：选C。

本题考查的是词组辨析。

A项in place of表示“代替，取代”；B项as well as表示“又，也，还”；C项except for意思是“除……之外”，表示在说明了基本(整体)情况之后，再对细节进行说明；D项in case of表示“万一，假使”。

本句意为：除天气之
外，所有情况对于野炊来说非常好。

在本句中，可以将“天气”看成是“所有情况”当中的一个细节，故选择C项。

25．She ________ herself entirely to her research and it earned her a good reputation in her field.
A．contributed to B．contributed
C．devoted D．was devoted
解析：选C。

考查devote oneself to sth.结构，句意为：她完全致力于她的研究工作，这为她在她的领域赢得了良好的声誉。

26．What all the doctors in the hospital said suggested that he ________ badly wounded and that he ________ at once.
A．should be；be operated on
B．were；must be operated on
C. were；should be operated on
D. was；be operated on
解析：选D。

当suggest表示“暗示，表明”时，后接的宾语从句用陈述语气，表示“建议”时，后接的宾语从句用虚拟语气。

根据语境可知，第一个宾语从句用陈述语气，而第二个宾语从句用虚拟语气，故谓语用“(should＋)动词原形”。

27．According to some signs, some experts have ________ that the global economy is beginning to recover little by little.
A．covered B．examined
C．concluded D．checked
解析：选C。

句意：根据一些迹象，一些专家推断出全球经济正在开始逐渐复苏。

conclude“推断出”，符合题意。

cover“覆盖；报道”；examine“检查”；check“核对；核查”。

28．Five people won the “China’s Green Figure”award, a title ________ to ordinary people for their contributions to environmental protection.
A．being given B．is given
C．given D．was given
解析：选C。

title与give之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词形式作定语。

29．The parents suggested ________ in the hotel room but their kids were anxious to camp out during the trip.
A．sleep B．to sleep
C．sleeping D．having slept
解析：选C。

suggest在此意为“建议”，后接-ing形式作宾语。

30．—What illness does the patient get?
—The doctors ________ that the patient’s disease is cancer.
A．arrive a conclusion B．come a conclusion
C．draw a conclusion D．take a conclusion
解析：选C。

此题考查的是conclusion的固定搭配。

和conclusion连用的一般有come to，draw，reach，arrive at等，所以此处选择C。

31．Yesterday the firemen ________ the ground carefully，but were not able to find any ________ glass.
A．examined；breaking B．cared；broken
C．examined；broken D．cared；breaking
解析：选C。

句意：昨天消防队员仔细检查了地面，但是没有发现任何碎玻璃。

第一个空用examine，取其检测、检查的意思；第二个空是分词作定语，强调完成，应选broken。

所以此题应选择C。

32．We rejected his ________ for a music club，and decided to have an art club instead.
A．point of view B．point of sight
C．point of thought D．point of scene
解析：选A。

观点的表示法是point of view，所以选择A。

33．It’s a pity that the young girl drowned herself after all her hopes were ________.
A．beaten B．defeated
C．failed D．realized
解析：选B。

defeat有“希望、计划等遭到破坏”的意思，所以应该选择B。

34．Traveling abroad exposes children ________ different languages and cultures.
A．with B．to
C．of D．into
解析：选B。

本句考查的是固定词组expose sb. to sth., 是“使面临……；使遭受……”的意思。

35．Each time ________ they met, they would talk long hours together.
A．which B．when
C．during D．/
解析：选D。

考查each time 作连词的用法。

第三部分阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

A
It was almost four o’clock in the morning when the fire broke out.“We watch one window blow out，and then another，and heard people shouting，”says Stanley,21，a junior from Westfield State College in Massachusetts.Students were throwing ropes made from bed sheets out their windows，and a couple of them were trying to climb down.
Almost all the hotel’s502 rooms were filled with college students from across the United States who were spending their holiday here in Acpulco，Mexico.As the smoke thickened，Moreno ran upstairs to where other Westfield students were rooming.“Some people had no idea what was going on，”he says.“I was shouting at the top of my voice.I made sure I hit every door.”At the same time，Stanley was downstairs helping people get through the smoke-filled hall.There he joined forces with Nalewanski who had just come back from his own night out.
“Let’s go.”Nalewanski says.He and Stanley wet their shirts in the bathroom and wrapped them around their mouths and noses so they could breathe.Then they ran up the stairs.
Nalewanski and Stanley found Moreno on the fourth floor.They all ran upstairs and down the corridors(走廊) on every floor，hitting every door hard.
In the end，no one was seriously injured.Even more unbelievable，all the Westfield students made it back to Massachusetts later that same day.
Westfield president Evan Dobelle says，“I have a great deal of pride in these young men and they were able to react in such an emergency.”

A．College students have a terrible holiday
B．College students survived a big fire
C．Heroes：close call in a hotel fire

解析：选C。

本文为记叙文，主要讲了Stanley，Moreno和Nalewanski在火灾中冒着生命危险，逐个房间敲门，全部学生脱险的故事，最后校长说“I have a great deal of pride in these young men...”。

由此我们可以看出文章的主题突出了对“英雄”的介绍。

57．What do we learn from Stanley from the passage?
A．He is in his last year in college.
B．He is a very brave young man.
C．He was reading a book when the fire broke out.

B
A trip to the library can change your life.That is the idea of the Get It Loud in Libraries project，which challenges the habit of speaking in a low voice.The sweet tones of singer Diana Vickers rang out recently，surrounded by books as well as fans，at Lancaster Library.Plan B，Adele，Florence and the Machine，Speech Debelle，and the Thrills have also performed for the project.
This five-year project aims to increase access(进入) to libraries while developing youth talent and has attracted more than 8,500 visitors,5,000 of whom are first-time library users.
“I think it’s wonderful，”Vickers says.“I’ve been playing in front of big crowds and I’m excited about close environments where you can be close to your fans.”
As a child growing up in nearby Blackburn，she says that her school library was a “second home”to her.When she was young she loved Peter Rabbit and Mr.Men books，and later her favorites included Little Women and The Lo v ely Bones.
Attracted by the stage，the young who would once never have been to a library have been returning to borrow books and CDs.The project’s founder，Stewart Parsons，has worked in libraries for 25 years.He feels that the concerts have made libraries something that the young want to be part of.A mother，Lauren Zawadzki，sent him a text message after a concert：“Your work is great！！！Both Izaak and Dom have been reading in the library for the last half hour...You should be proud.They would never have suggested that before the concerts.”
Parsons hopes that the activity is changing the way people view libraries.“My big worry is that libraries trail(拖拉)behind slightly；they shouldn’t.This is about bringing libraries up to date.The beautiful thing is that people are reconnecting with the library in a way they haven’t done before.”
【解题导语】本文是一篇新闻，报道了一些图书馆为了吸引读者，在图书馆举办音乐活动，颠覆了人们认为图书馆应该安静的认识。

60．The Get It Loud in Libraries project aims to ________.
A．collect money for libraries to buy books
B．attract more people to read in libraries
C．provide a performing place for music lovers
D．develop youth talent for singing
解析：选B。

细节理解题。

根据第一段的A trip to the library can change your life.That is the idea of the Get It Loud in Libraries project，...和第二段的This five-year project aims to increase access(进入) to libraries while developing youth talent可知其目的是让更多的人来图书馆读书。

61．According to the passage，Vickers’s attitude towards Libraries project is that of ________.
A．praise B．unconcern
C．doubt D．worry
解析：选A。

推理判断题。

故A正确。

62．What can we know about Diana Vickers from the passage?
A．She once worked at a library.
B．She doesn’t like being close to her fans.
C．She liked reading in her childhood.
D．She complains about the noisy environment.
解析：选C。

推理判断题。

结合第四段的As a child...she says that her school library was a “second home” to her.When she was young she loved...可知Vickers小的时候喜欢读书。

63．According to the passage，Zawadzki ________.
A．advised libraries to keep quiet
B．praised Parsons for helping her reading
C．found her children’s talent for singing
D．praised the Get It Loud in Libraries project
解析：选D。

根据Zawadzki发的短信Both Izaak and Dom have been ... that before the concerts可知，她的两个儿子现在喜欢到图书馆看书了，而在图书馆举办音乐会前，儿子从未要求去过，因此推断她很赞赏这个项目。

C
What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology.With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time.Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war.Today’s leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories.
In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days.But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times.How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death.Cells are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever.But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine.Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs.The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on－in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.
It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.
【解题导语】随着科技、医学的发展，未来的某天，人类的寿命会得到无限制地延长。

年龄与疾病对生命不再构成威胁。

64．According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by ________.
A．diseases and aging B．accidents and war
C．accidents and aging D．heart disease and war
解析：选A。

根据第一段最后一句“Today’s leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories.”可知目前导致人类死亡的主要原因是疾病和衰老。

65．In the author’s opinion，today’s most important advance in technology lies in ________.
A．medicine B．the Internet
C．brain cells D．human organs
解析：选A。

根据第二段“But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times.”可以推断出答案选A。

66．Humans may live longer in the future because ________.
A．heart disease will be far away from us
B．human brains can decide the final death
C．the basic materials of cells will last forever
D．human organs can be repaired by new medicine

When it comes to friends，I desire those who will share my happiness，who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me.I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮) me and train me up for love.It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours，too good not to share.
When I was in the eighth grade，I had a friend.We were shy and“too serious”about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors.We said little at school，but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper，and one of us would say：“Let’s start with a train whistle today.”We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle.Then we would read them aloud.At the end of that school year，we，too，were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London，I had a friend.He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair.But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time.We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things.We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted.We_gave_London_to_each_other.
For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine.We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves.Each of us appears，sometimes in a funny way，in the other’s dreams.She and I agree that，at certain times，we seem to be parts of the same mind.In my most interesting moments，I often think：“Yes，I must tell.”We have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep.One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist(心理学家)，who will only fill up the healing(愈合的)silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job.I’m not a football commentator(评论员)，though—just an English teacher in Japan.
I came to Japan two years ago，and didn’t think I would stay，but Japan has that effect on you.People_often_end_up_living_here_longer_than_they_planned.I think it’s best to teach in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with，rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl.Many people choose to live in Tokyo，of course，which is good for the nightlife factor.But I’d say that for general quality of living，cities of neither too large nor too small，like Sapporo where I live，are better choices.
I teach English privately，which means I’m my own boss.If you want to devote yourself to private teaching，it’s well worth doing a TEFL course first，because your lessons will be much better for it.The problem with private teaching is finding students；it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表) of private lessons，so I started out teaching in schools part-time.
Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools.The salary is fine to live on，but whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.
The schools are reluctant to take time off—even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.
