21．B考查交际用语。

答语使用的是双重否定，即为肯定含义，相当于“I always go travelling with a book./I go travelling with a book every time.”与第一个人说的话意思相同，说明其对第一个人的话是赞同的。

句意：“在火车上阅读是最好的打发时间的方法。

”“说得太对了。

我出行绝对不会不带书的。

”故选B。

22．D考查定语从句的关系词。

根据finally可知，从句谓语动词的动作后于主句的谓语动词的动作而发生，据此可排除B和C，while引导时间状语从句时，表示主句和从句谓语动词的动作同时发生。

句意：“nice”一词的含义变化了数次，直到最后它才包括了“pleasant”的含义。

故选A。

B
Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives(蜂窝)—either recorded or real—may even prevent elephants from damaging farmers' crops.
In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmers to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.
Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in Northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next, Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in Northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.
From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall(瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.
Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial(最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.
60．We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of ________．
A．loud noises B．some crops
C．video cameras D．angry bees
61．As mentioned in the passage, Lucy________．
A．works by herself in Africa
B．needs to test more elephant groups
C．has stopped elephants eating crops
D．has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms
62．Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?
A．To record the sound of bees.
B．To make a video of elephants.
C．To see if elephants would run away.
D．To find out more about the behaviour of bees.
63．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Young elephants ignore African honeybees.
B．Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.
C．Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.
D．Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.

C
You are the collector in the gallery of your life. You collect. You might not mean to but you do. One out of three people collects tangible(有形的) things such as cats, photos and many toys.
These are among some 40 collections that are being shown at “The Museum Of”—the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated by unknown collectors. In doing so, they will promote a popular culture of museums, not what museums normally represent.
Some of the collections are fairly common—records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful—branches that have fallen from trees, for example. But they all reveal(显露) a lot of things: ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.
Others on the way include“The Museum of Collectors”and “The Museum of Me”. These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of “The Museum Of”. The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they, too, collect.
Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important points: the beginning or end of adolescence—“it's a growing-up things; you stop when you grow up，” says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship. For time and life can seem so uncontrollable that a steady serial(顺序排列的) arrangement is comforting.
64．How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums?
A．By collecting more tangible things.
B．By showing what ordinary people have collected.
C．By correcting what museums normally represent.
D．By accumulating 40 collections two years from now.
65．What can be learned about collectors from their collections?
A．Who they are.
B．How old they are.
C．Where they were born.
D．Why they might not mean to collect.
66．Which of the following is an aim of the new museums?
A．To help people sell their collections.
B．To encourage more people to collect.
C．To study the significance of collecting.
D．To find out why people visit museums.
67．According to the last paragraph, people may stop collecting when they ________．
A．become adults
B．feel happy with life
C．are ready for a relationship
D．feel time to be uncontrollable

D
Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic(经济的) reasons—why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move_things_forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
68．What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?
A．Some of them are not attractive.
B．Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C．They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D．They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
69．Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?
A．We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B．Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
C．Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
D．No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
70．By “move things forward”in the last paragraph, the author probably means “________”．
A．destroy old buildings
B．put things in a different place
C．choose new architectural style
D．respect people's feelings for historical buildings
71．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To explain why people dislike change.
B．To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C．To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D．To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
【要点综述】本文为一篇议论文。

You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years, this association，founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty(贫困) and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world's most promising“changemakers”seeking to solve(解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.
Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy contributing adult. In fact, it is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka，which handled the rubbish problem facing the city, helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there.
When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka's streets, attracting rats and disease, they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste. So they educated the poor people in the city to compost(把……制成堆肥) this waste. They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical fertilizers(化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years. At first, they were refused, but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made, the project took off. In 2009 sales were $14，000.
Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious, practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.
72．Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A．Changemakers B．Businessmen
C．Social conditions D．Rubbish problems
73．The underlined word “them”in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “________”．
A．the local farmers
B．Masqsood and Iftekhar
C．Drayton and his team
D．the poor people in Dhaka
74．It can be concluded from the passage that anyone can become a changemaker if he________．
A．considers Drayton's concept
B．gets permission from Ashoka
C．tries to improve social conditions
D．is a young, happy and healthy adult
75．The author's attitude towards Ashoka's programme can be described as “________”．A．changing B．forgiving
C．cautious D．positive

Many people believe that classical music is not relevant to young people today. However, this issue(问题) frequently causes heated debate.
Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people. For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert, the majority is over the age of fifty.
Others say it is more popular than we first imagine. Many young people listen to classical music without realizing. It is often used in films and advertisements. For example, a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup. Not many people could have given its name, but millions enjoyed it.
Also, some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱) music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.
However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you don't need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer programme in the comfort of their own bedroom.
A final point to bear in mind is that the term“classical music”is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队). This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.
So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments, but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realize!
并列举众多不同的观点。

76. relevant根据第一段首句“Many people believe that classical music is not relevant to young people today.”可直接得到答案。

77. Most根据第二段最后“…the majority is over the age of fifty.”转换而来。

78. realize/know/recognize根据第三段第二句“Many young people listen to classical music without realizing.”中的realizing转换得到realize，也可使用know/recognize。

79. basis根据第四段“…young people produce new music based on classical ideas…”中的based转化而来。

注意本题不能使用base。

80. use根据第四段最后“…but it is now used by young people in pop music.”中的used 转化而来。

81. Technology根据第五段首句“However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology.”可直接得知答案。

原文中使用的被动语态，表格中改用主动语态。

82. comfortably根据第五段最后一句中的“…in the comfort of their own bedroom.”转换而来。

in the comfort of ＝comfortably。

83. kinds/types/sorts/forms根据倒数第二段首句中的“…‘classical music’is used to refer to a great variety of music…”
84. ranges根据倒数第二段首句“…the term ‘classical music’ is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队)．”可知答案。

85. enjoyed/loved/liked根据最后一段首句“So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments, but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music.”中的enjoying转化而来。

【思路点拨】本篇作文为写回信，为一篇应用文，但其格式已经给出，格式问题无需考虑。

主要要求考生写出正文。

审题时，需要解决好如下问题：
一、写什么？这一信息包括在试题的背景介绍和内容要点两个部分之中。

写信的背景：署名为Worried的同学向你诉说了自己的困扰：近日容易发脾气，使正常的学习和生活受到了影响。

内容要点：1. 表示理解并给予安慰；2. 提出建议并说明理由。

二、如何写？这包括两个层次的问题：首先，文章的布局谋篇，哪个先写，哪个后写。

按照常理，应该先“表示理解并给予安慰”，然后再“提出建议并说明理由”。

其次，解决好形式与内容的统一。

“表示理解并给予安慰”主要是论述，为说理。

“提出建议并说明理由”主要是说明，建议或指导别人如何做，通常使用祈使句等表示建议的句型。

本篇作文兼有议论和说明。

三、时态、人称、词数等。

本文的基调为现在范畴的时态，人称以第二人称为主。

注意在行文中使用一些高级句型，提高作文档次。

词数要求为120左右。

【参考范文】
Hi_Worried，
I'm_sorry_to_know_that_you_are_having_such_a_bad_time_at_the_moment. The truth is everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong, so you don't have to worry so much. The important thing is to learn to control your temper so that you may not do or
say anything you'll regret. Here are three useful tips：
First, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Second, go outdoors and play team games with your friends as physical exercise is an effective way to get rid of your anger. And third, remain optimistic about your future. Such a positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits.
I hope you'll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.
Yours，
Jamie。
