In which section of a newspaper can we probably find this passage? A. Fashion. B. Literature. C. Business. D. Local news. 解析：考查文意整体把握，根据逻辑，向读者介绍四本书的不可能是在一张报纸的 fashion(时 尚)，business(商业)，local news (当地新闻)版块里，只能是在 literature(文学)这一版块里， 故选 B. 答案：B B In the tiny village of Angelica, New York, the post office is more than a place to get mail or send packages. There you’ll find the heart of this lovely community. It’s where villagers meet and greet friends. When Angelica’s post office was threatened with being closed in the 1980s，a villager，Pat, came up with a plan to save it. “At Christmas time I would hear on the news about towns named Snow or Bethlehem having celebrations,” says Pat, “Why couldn’t we do the same thing with Angelica?” Pat, who is an artist，created a postal cancellation (邮戳) design featuring an Angelica angel. She drew her angels in a traditional fashion and submitted her suggestion to the U.S. Postal Service. Once approved, the drawing was carved into a cancellation stamp that could be used for one day only. The postmistress (女邮局局长) then had another idea to make the day even more special calling the post office Angel Station. The large increase in mail amount saved Angelica’s post office from being closed and keeps the doors open today. Now it’s tradition that on the first Friday in December，people come to Angelica to mail their Christmas cards. Each year the amount of mail going through the Angelica Post Office increases during late November and early December. Stamp collectors from around the world have accepted the Angel Station cancellation, some sending mail from as far away as France. Because the stamp is destroyed each season, Pat draws a new angel that conveys season’s greetings from Angel Station every year. Post offices may close in other parts of the country, but this tiny one continues. 5. What did Pat do to save the post office? A. She invented a new cancellation. B. She hosted Christmas celebrations. C. She gave the office a better name. D. She designed a special set of stamps. 解析：考查文章细节推断，根据文中第三段“Pat, who is an artist, created a postal cancellation design featuring an Angelica angel”,可知作为一名艺术家的 Pat,创作出了一个以 Angelica 天使 为图案的邮戳设计，故选 A. 答案：A 6. Which of the following can best describe Pat? A. Stubborn and determined. B. Humorous and intelligent. C. Curious and friendly. D. Creative and warm-hearted. 解析：考查文章细节推断，根据文中第二段“When Angelica’s post office was threaten with being closed in the 1980s, a villager, Pat, came up with a plan to save it.”,可知Angelica邮局在20 世纪 80 年代面临倒闭的威胁时，一个叫 Pat 的村民提出了一项计划来拯救它，所以推断出 Angelica 是热心（warm-hearted）的；又根据后文她发明了一个邮戳，可以推断出她是有创 造力的（creative），故选 D. 答案：D 7. What can we learn about Angelica’s post office from the passage? A. It was completely closed in the 1980s. B. Its name has been changed many times. C. Its stamp remains the same each season. D. It is also the centre of local social life. 解析：考查文章细节理解，根据文中第一段“In the tiny village of Angelica, New York, the post office is more than a place to get mail or send packages. There you’ll find the heart of this lovely community.”可知，在 Angelica，邮局不仅仅是取邮件寄包裹的地方，也是这个可爱地区的 中心，故选 D. 答案：D C As her son Cameron sits at his laptop completing a task for his math degree course, Alison Thompson，a full-time mum，is busy helping her daughter Emma (two years younger than Cameron) get dressed. While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs. “People could see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him.” says Alison. It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron’s ability didn’t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers (负数). He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades. Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too but not gifted. She is the one who will remind absent-minded Cameron to put on his coat. She also helps him out in social situations. Emma attends a specialist school and the family is quick to celebrate her successes too. “The other day she did up the buttons on her coat, which was real progress,” Alison says. Late last year the Thompsons took part in a television documentary (纪录片) to prove that not all gifted children are the result of extremely ambitious parents. Gifted children need support too, but their lives don’t have to be that different. Cameron is an example. 8. What does Paragraph 1 indicate? A. Cameron helps Emma with her math tasks. B. Teachers at school ignored Emma’s problems. C. Both Cameron and Emma need parental support. D. The couple often have fights because of Cameron. 解析：考查文章细节推断，根据文中第一段“While help has always been for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs.”可知，尽管 Emma 总是能即 使得到帮助，但 Alison 和她的丈夫也必须努力让 Cameron 得到他需要的支持，所以 Emma 和 Cameron 都需要父母的支持。 答案：C 9. What does the underlined phrase “having sailed through his GCSE” probably mean? A. Having passed his GCSE easily. B. Having taken his GCSE seriously. C. Having worked hard at his GCSE. D. Having suffered a lot from his GCSE 解析：考察文章词义理解，文中第二段主要讲了 Cameron 从上小学起学习能力就非同一般， 极其聪明，最后一句讲到 14 岁的 Cameron 现在正在中学里主攻远程数学学位，在 12 岁时 就已经轻松考过 GCSE，故选 A. 答案：A 10. There are at least people in Mrs. Thompson’s family. A. three B. four C. five D. six 解析：考察文章整体把握，通读全文可知，Thompson 先生的家里有三个孩子，分别是 Cameron, Emma, Bethany.再加上 Thompson 夫妇，所以他们家至少有五个人，故选 C. 答案：C 11. What can be known from the passage? A. Emma has learned to take good care of herself. B. Cameron showed his gift before primary school. C. The children of the family are bright and gifted. D. Gifted kids are not so different as people expect. 解析：考察文章细节理解，根据文章最后一段，“Gifted children need support too, but their lives don't have to be that different. Cameron is an example."可知，有天赋的孩子也需要支持，但他 们的生活不必那样的与众不同，Cameron 就是一个例子，所以有天赋的孩子并不是人们所期 待的那样与众不同，故选 D. 答案：D D On April 14th, 2010, my entire life changed in an instant. One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshine. The next moment, metal, flesh and bone were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic. As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry ＄l.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economies all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland’s many volcanoes. However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the worlds flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere，temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint. Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations. In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path. After their plan worked，they used the geothermal (地热) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future. I ran from April 14th, 2010, to every kind of escape. Eventually I ended up in university for a new-found love in Earth sciences. 12. What happened to the writer on April 14th, 2010? A. He was involved in a car crash. B. He was stuck in Iceland’s airport. C. He witnessed a volcanic eruption. D. He was badly injured on a bike ride. 解析：考查文章细节理解，根据文中第一段“One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshine. The next moment, metal,flesh,and bone were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash. ”可知，作者在前一时刻还在快乐地穿越阳光骑行，下一时刻就发生了震耳 欲聋的车祸，金属、血肉、还有骨头在人行道上横飞，所以作者是在骑车过程中严重受伤， 故选 D. 答案：D 13. Which was an effect of the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull? A. Economy was cost globally by the eruption. B. Carbon dioxide was increased temporarily. C. The earth in Ireland was terribly polluted. D. Most of the world’s planes were held up. 解析：考查文章细节理解，根据文中第二段“Economies all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland’s many volcanoes.”可知，Eyjafjallajokull 火山 的爆发，使得全球的经济受到了打击，故选 A. 答案：A 14. Why did the writer mention the Eldfell volcano? A. It broke out in Iceland on April 14th as well. B. It symbolized the accident that changed his life. C. It encouraged him to know more about himself. D. It told us to make the most of given situation. 解析：考查文章细节推断，根据文中倒数第二段“One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future.”可知，提到 Eldfell 火山是为了告 诉人们在不幸当中继续前行，关注于现在，寄希望于未来，故选 D. 答案：D 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. Inspiration from Disasters B. Escape from Volcanoes C. Love for Earth Science D. Attitude towards Nature 解析：考查文章主旨大意，文中前两段讲述了让我生活遭受重击的两个灾难：车祸以及火山 爆发，但从第三段开始斗转直下，“However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil”,告诉我们并不是 所有的火山都是不好的，实际上火山爆发是必要的，它可以促进土壤的新生，可以创造出肥 沃的土壤，接着又举例说明了 Eyjafjallajokull 火山以及 Eldfell 火山的爆发带来的益处，最后 告诉我们要着眼于现在，在灾难中前行，故选 A. 答案：A 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Mary had feared the day she would draw a blank during a presentation.

I learned this from one of my experience. I was not chosen as member of the volleyball team of our school. Because of this, I decided to give up play volleyball. Luckily, my best friend stopped me but pointed out that it was my laziness and poor preparation which led to my failure. After that, I practiced playing volleyball on every day. When another tryout arrived, I was full prepared and tried my best. As a result, I was selected and became an important player on our school team. From this, I am firmly convincing that we are able to seize a chance as long as I get well prepared. 解析：第一处：考察时态，由于这句话是谚语，谚语一般采用一般现在时，故要将 favored 改为 favors. 第二处：考察名词单复数，one of the/形容词性物主代词后应该加可数名词复数，故要把 experience 后加 s，变为 experiences. 第三处：考察冠词，可数名词单数前要加冠词，且此处表示泛指，故要在 member 前加上冠 词 a. 第四处：考察非谓语动词，此句中出现了两个谓语动词，分别是 decided 和 play, 所以需要 把第二个动词变换成非谓语动词，且需跟在介词 up 之后，（介词后面的动词需用-ing 形式）， 故要将 play 改为 playing. 第五处：考察逻辑连词，but 前的句意是“我最好的朋友不让我这么做”，but 后的句意是“是 我的懒惰还有准备不足才导致了失败”，前后并没有转折的意思，而是承接的关系，故要将 but 改为 and. 第六处：考察强调句，it is/was…that…，故要将 which 改为 that. 第七处：考察介词，介词 on 后应该接名词才可以构成状语，且 every day 本身相当于副词， 可以单独 作状语，故要把 on 去掉。 第八处：考察副词，副词修饰形容词，形容词修饰名词，而形容词 full 后面不是名词，而是 形容词，故要用副词来修饰，故要将 full 改为 fully. 第九处：考察形容词，convincing 让人确信的，主语是物，convinced 感到确信的，主语是 人，而此处主语是 I，故要将 convincing 改为 convinced. 第十处：考察代词一致，convince 后引导的是一个完整的从句，从句的主语是 we，故要将 I 改为 we. 答案： 1. favored 改为 favors. 2. experience 后加 s 变为 experiences 3. member 前加上冠词 a 4. play 改为 playing 5. but 改为 and 6. which 改为 that 7. 把 on 去掉 8. full 改为 fully 9. convincing 改为 convinced 10.
