Unfortunately, in this modern world, we have become confused by very narrow standards of beauty. Images of stars who never seem to age are seen everywhere these days. We forget the fact that most of these images are the result of super photo manipulation (处理), driven by the extremely powerful beauty industry. We are all different — why should we all look the same? Isn’t there more to life than having surgery in order to have the same boring face that everybody else wants to have? —Dr Elisabeth McKenna, Psychologist Yes, it’s not real! That’s what I told my friends when they started asking me about my nose job. I’d always been sensitive to my nose, but it took me a long time before I decided to go for cosmetic surgery. I took advice from several doctors and after careful consideration I finally decided to have it done. I had been saving money from my part-time job and my parents helped me out with the rest. It was quite expensive but I don’t regret a penny of it. In fact I wish I’d had it done a few years ago. I’ m sure I wouldn’t have been laughed at so much at school. —Debbie Caron, Student It makes me really angry to think of the millions of people who spend much money on cosmetic surgery. Surgery should be carried out for medical purposes, not vanity (虚荣心). I would rather all the money spent on cosmetic surgery was used to treat people around the world who are in need but can’t get proper medical treatment. Furthermore, there are thousands of under-qualified doctors out there who only care about getting as rich as possible as quickly as possible. They don’t care about the psychological and physical damage they do. The whole industry makes me sick. We should do something to stop it. —Danny Glass, Student 21. What does Dr Elisabeth McKenna suggest? A. Don’t be fooled by “perfection”. B. Cosmetic surgery often goes wrong. C. The beauty industry needs improving. D. It’s unnecessary to set new standards of beauty. 22. What did Debbie Caron’s cosmetic surgery bring to her? A. More friends. B. More worries. C. More self-confidence. D. More job opportunities. 23. How does Danny Glass feel about those who have cosmetic surgery? A. They should be treated as patients. B. They hurt themselves psychologically and physically. C. They can have a new start. D. They waste money and medical resources. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. D 【解析】 随着整容业的发展,以及漂亮永葆青春的明星随处可见,整容的人越来越多,但对于整容手术,不同的人有不同的看法。 21. A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Images of stars who never seem to age are seen everywhere these daysWe forget the fact that most of these images are the result of super photo manipulation (处理), driven by the extremely powerful beauty industry.” 那些青春永在的明星形象随处可见。我们忘记了这个事实,这些照片大多数是过度处理的的结果,由于极其强大的美容行业的驱动。分析可知,那么所谓的完美是经过处理的,不是真的。博士暗示我们别被这些明星的美丽外表所欺骗。分析选项可知A项正确 。 22. C 推理判断题。根据Debbie Caron 所说的“It was quite expensive but I don’t regret a penny of it. In fact I wish I’d had it done a few years ago. I’ m sure I wouldn’t have been laughed at so much at school.” 她希望几年前就这样做了。并肯定在学校里不会被人嘲笑的。分析内容可知,整容手术让她不被嘲笑,而更自信了。分析选项可知C项符合题意。故选C项。 23. D 推理判断题。根据Danny Glass所说的“It makes me really angry to think of the millions of people who spend much money on cosmetic surgery. … I would rather all the money spent on cosmetic surgery was used to treat people around the world who are in need but can’t get proper medical treatment” 想到在整容手术上花几百万的人,我真的很生气…。我宁愿花在整容手术上的钱用来治疗全世界有需要但得不到适当治疗的人。分析选项可知花费在整容手术上的钱是不值得的。分析选项可知D项符合题意。 B About 150 years ago, a village church priest, Patric Bronte, in Yorkshire, England, had three lovely, intelligent daughters but his hopes fell entirely on the only male successor, Branwell, a youth with remarkable talent in both art and literature. Branwell’s father and sisters saved their pennies to pack him off to London’s Royal Academy of Arts, but if art was his calling, he dialed a wrong number. Within weeks he ended up going back home, a penniless failure. Hopes still high, the family landed Branwell a job as a private tutor, hoping this would free him to develop his literary skills and achieve the success and fame that he deserved. Failure again. Still, the selfless sisters set aside their own goals, farming themselves out as teachers and governesses in support of their increasingly indebted brother, convinced the world must eventually recognize his genius. As failure multiplied, Branwell turned to alcohol, then opium, and eventually died as he had lived: a failure. So died hope in the one male — but what of the three sisters? During Branwell’s last years, the girls published a book of poetry at their own expense (under a pen name, for fear of reviewers’ prejudice against females). Even Branwell might have laughed: they sold only two copies. They didn’t give up. Instead, they continued in their spare time, late at night by candlelight, to pour out their contained emotion, writing of what they knew best, of women in conflict with their natural desires and social condition, in reality, less fiction than autobiography! And 19th century literature was transformed by Anne’s Agnes Grey, Emily’s Wuthering Heights, and Charlotte’s Jane Eyre. But years of sacrifice for Branwell had eventually ruined their health. Emily took ill at her brother’s funeral and died within 3 months, aged 29; Anne died 5 months later, aged 30; Charlotte lived only to age 39. If only they had been highly thought of instead of sacrificed. No one remembers Branwell’s name, much less of his art or literature, but the Bronte sisters’ tragically short lives teach us even more of life than literature. 24. What might lead to the sad ending of the three Bronte sisters? A. That to be a writer was a really tough road to go. B. The social prejudice against women in those days. C. Their poor family. D. The failure of their brother. 25. What does the underlined part probably mean in paragraph 2 ? A. He gave a wrong call to a person. B. He shouldn’t have spent much on art. C. He was not talented in art at all. D. He was actually not promising on the way of art. 26. According to the passage, what can be inferred from the story of Branwell? A. Gift is not necessarily a guarantee of success. B. Gift is a burden for a person. C. A person’s success is largely due to the support of his family. D. Too many choices may lead to success in none. 27. Were Patric Bronte alive, what might he regret most? A. Not taking good care of his children. B. Intending his son for an artist or a writer. C. Putting all of his eggs in one male basket. D. Sacrificing too many pennies for his son. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 日常生活类文章。英国历史上的有名的的勃朗特三姐妹家里有一个弟弟,全家人把所以的希望都寄托在他身上。结果他却最终一事无成,而三个姐姐为了他放弃了自己的理想,最终却英年早逝,但留下了自己的文学作品。 24. B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“ad three lovely, intelligent daughters but his hopes fell entirely on the only male successor,”可知这三个女儿很聪明,但是全部的希望都放在了唯一的儿子身上。第五段中的“under a pen name, for fear of reviewers’ prejudice against females Even Branwell might have laughed: they sold only two copies.”可知,她们出书还用了笔名,因为担心人们对女性作家的偏见.勃朗特姐妹的悲剧是由于社会对女性的偏见所造成的。分析选项可知B项符合题意。 25. D 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Branwell’s father and sisters saved their pennies to pack him off to London’s Royal Academy of Arts,but if art was his calling, he dialed a wrong number. Within weeks he ended up going back home, a penniless failure.” 布兰韦尔的父亲和姐妹们节省每一分钱,送他到伦敦的皇家艺术学院,如果艺术是他的电话,但他却打错电话了。几周后,他终于回家了,身无分文,失败了。分析本段可知,艺术不是他的天赋。因此他在艺术道路上有是没有前途的。分析选项可知D项符合题意,故选D项。 26. A 推理判断题。文章第一段中提到“Branwell, a youth with remarkable talent in both art and literature.”他非常有才华。但第四段“As failure multiplied, Branwell turned to alcohol, then opium, and eventually died as he had lived: a failure. ”随着他多次失败,布兰韦尔变成酗酒者,然后吸鸦片,最终死于一事无成。由此可知。天赋未必就是成功的保证,故选A。 27. C 推理判断题。根据第一段中提到了,这家人有三个女儿和一个儿子都有才华,但父亲却把希望只寄托在儿子身上,三个姐妹留下了自己的作品而辞世,儿子反倒一事无成。作为父亲,应当会后悔把全部的精力都放在了儿子的身上吧。 C The end of the school year is in sight — Christmas cards, candy canes and of course, end of year reports. While most parents welcome an assessment of their kids’ performance, they do not expect their own input to be evaluated. But a school in the UK is changing that. As well as assessing their students, they are dishing out grades to mums and dads. Parents that are really involved in their kids’ education are rewarded with an A, and parents that haven’t done their bit get a disappointing D. The school, Greasley Beauvale Primary in Nottinghamshire, uses standard such as whether mums and dads have attended school events such as plays and parent teacher evenings to decide on the grade. The school’s principal, Donna Chambers, said that the scheme had been well received. “There were some critics. In spite of it, between 15 per cent and 20 per cent of parents started out in the lower categories but now that has been reduced to just two per cent,” she explained. Chambers hopes that the scheme will help motivate parental involvement. “The system is important because you have got to get the parents on board from day one. That one hour initial conversation saying they could improve will make a difference to the rest of that child’s academic life”, she said. But while the scheme may be well intentioned, it is likely to be connected with parent shaming. There are lots of reasons why some mums and dads might not be involved in school activities such as work commitments, looking after younger children or caring for elderly relatives. And of course, being involved in your kid’s education doesn’t begin and end at school. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes from helping with homework to keeping uniforms freshly laundered. And what about all the parents who stayed up sewing special costumes at the last minute? Surely that earns a gold star instead of a grade! 28. What do schools usually do at the end of the school year? A. Evaluating kids’ performances. B. Making Christmas cards. C. Dividing candies. D. Grading parents. 29. What does the school’s principal Chambers say about the scheme? A. It uses a new way to evaluate kids. B. It has gained much acceptance. C. It gives parents further education. D. It improves kids’ motivation for learning. 30. What does the author think of parents being involved in kids’ education? A. It adds to parents’ burden. B. It brings shame to parents. C. It means far more than being graded. D. It increases parents’ commitment to education. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. There is too much stress for parents about their children’s academic life. B. Parents as well as their children are on the list of the year school report. C. Parents should be involved in children’s school life. D. Whether a parent is excellent depends on the grade he gets. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. B 【解析】 学年结束时学校一般是对学生的表现进行评估。虽然大多数家长欢迎对孩子的表现进行评估,但他们并不期望自己也进入到被评估。而英国的一所学校正在改变这一点。不仅评价他们的学生,而且还要对他们的妈妈和爸爸参与学校活动打等级。 28. A 推理判断题。根据第一段可知在学年结束时有年终报告书,在第二段中“While most parents welcome an assessment of their kids’ performance, they do not expect their own input to be evaluated.”可知在学年结束时,要评估学生的表现。故选A。 29. B 【解题剖析】此题属于细节理解题中的语言转述型。这是一类间接事实细节题,答案与题目在意义上运用了词义之间的转述关系,即正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的另一种表达。。答案需要从文章的The school’s principal, Donna Chambers, said that the scheme had been well received. 进行推断。 【答案定位】根据第三段中的The school’s principal, Donna Chambers, said that the scheme had been well received. 可知她说这个计划受到了好评。即得到大家的认可。 【推理关系】题干What does the school’s principal Chambers say about the scheme? If you travel to a tropical country, _____.☞文章内容The school’s principal, Donna Chambers, said that the scheme had been well received. 【答案】had been well received.☞ B选项It has gained much acceptance.☞关键词 well received和gained much acceptance。 【名师点睛】细节理解题之(2)语言转述型。 语言转述型。这是一类间接事实细节题,答案与题目在意义上运用了词义之间的转述关系,即正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的另一种表达。细节理解题通常采用词语和句型转换的形式来取代原文中的表述来迷惑考生,即对原句细微处做改动。如本题中把动词had been well received.转述为has gained much acceptance,其实意思是没有变化。 30. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知。参与孩子的教育并不只在学期开始或结束时,还用如帮助孩子做功课,清洁校服,还有熬夜给孩子制作表演的服装等。这一切都不仅仅只是给打个等级。分析选项可知C项符合题意。 31. B 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“While most parents welcome an assessment of their kids’ performance, they do not expect their own input to be evaluated. But a school in the UK is changing that. As well as assessing their students, they are dishing out grades to mums and dads.”可知学年结束时学校一般是对学生的表现进行评估。虽然大多数家长欢迎对孩子的表现进行评估,但他们并不期望自己也得到评估。而英国的一所学校正在改变这一点。不仅评价他们的学生,而且还要对他们的妈妈和爸爸参与学校活动打等级。接着就是对这种评估的标准进行了分析。分析选项可知B项(父母和他们的孩子都被列入年度学校报告的名单中)符合题意,故选B项。 D Scientists in Britain have managed to teach bees to pull strings(绳子) to get to food and then pass on what they have learned to others in their group一showing a high level of intelligence despite their tiny brains. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London said the experiments, often used to test the intelligence of apes and birds,showed for the first time that some insects are up to the task,and can also pass skills on through several generations. The findings add to the evidence suggesting the ability for “culture spread” 一 the ability to learn and pass on knowledge and skills — may not be exclusive to humans. In the research, published in the journal PLOS Biology on Tuesday, the scientists were able to train 23 out of a group of 40 bees to pull strings with their legs and feet. The strings were attached to discs — or artificial “flowers” 一 containing food at their center but placed under a transparent screen. The bees,spotting the food beneath the screen, learned to pull the “flowers” out by pulling the string with their legs and feet to be able to get to it. From another group of bees given the chance to solve the task without any training, only two of 110 were successful. Another group of bees was then allowed to observe the trained bees pulling the strings,and 60 percent of them successfully learned the skill. Finally,trained bees were put in groups,and the scientists found the technique spread successfully to a majority of the group’s worker bees. Lars Chittka, a Queen Mary University professor who guided the project, said the team is interested in figuring out the brain processes behind the bees’ learning and teaching skills. 32. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “exclusive” in Paragraph 3? A. appropriate. B. unique. C. beneficial. D. widespread. 33. What did the researchers find about bees? A. Bees learn best in insects. B. Bees are as clever as birds. C. Bees are born good learners. D. Bees can be trained to learn skills. 34. What may the research team focus on next? A. What else bees can do. B. Where bees learn skills. C. How bees teach others. D. How bees’ brain work. 35. What may be the best title for the text? A. Small bees, great abilities. B. Bees can learn and teach. C. Bees are smarter. D. Let bees learn. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. B 【解析】本文为说明文,属于科普类文章。介绍了大黄蜂有学习能力,还会传播自己学到的知识。 32. 猜测词义题。依据第二段可知,大黄蜂也具有学习并传播所学知识的能力,结合第三段本句话可知,这种能力并非人类独有的,故选B项。 33. 细节理解题。根据第三、四、五、六、七段可知,蜜蜂可以被训练学习技能。D项正确。 34. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句...the team is interested in figuring out the brain processes behind the bees’ learning and teaching skills.可知,该小组感兴趣的是找出蜜蜂学习和教学技能背后的大脑活动过程。故D项正确。 35. 主旨大意题。综合全文尤其第一段可知,文章主要介绍一项科学发现,大黄蜂也可以学习并传播所学技能,故选B项。 【名师点睛】 每篇文章都会有一个主旨要义。主旨要义型题范围一般包括:短文标题、主题大意或段落大意等。此题型要求考生在理解文章后归纳文章要点,概括中心思想。考生需要分析文章的篇章结构,抓住文章的开头或结尾,从而找出能概括文章的主题句。主题句的特点:(1)语言特点:归纳性、概括性、抽象性;(2)位置特点:主题句常出现在“总结性”语言的“信号词”后,如:in summary, in a word, as a result, finally, in short, in conclusion和in brief等;主题句常出现在“转移话题式”语言的“信号词”后,如:but, however, nevertheless, Hence等。标题的语言特点:独特新颖、概括性强、短小精炼。 A.主旨大意主要的设题方式有:(1)Which of the following best gives the main idea of this newspaper article?(2)The best headline for this newspaper article is ____. (3)What is the topic of the text? (4)The text is mainly about ______. (5)What's the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph? (6)What would be the best title for the text? B.主旨大意主要的解题策略有: (1)标题类。文章标题可以是单词,短语,也可以是句子,它的特点是:短小精悍,多为一短语;涵盖性强,一般要求能覆盖全文,其确定的范围要恰当,既不能太大,也不能太小;精确性强,不能随意改变语言表意的程度及色彩。 (2)主旨类。概括主旨的方法是:先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句,若无明显主题句,就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句,记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时,务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。此时,要注意一些转折词,如but, yet, however, although, in spite of, by contrast, on the contrary等。当文章中表示相反的观点时,往往用到这些词。答题时要弄清哪个是作者的观点,排除迷惑性信息,准确归纳主旨大意。例如:文章的第4小题: B 此题属于主旨大意中的(1)一一标题类。答案需要理解文章后归纳文章中心。 答案定位:根据第一段中的Scientists in Britain have managed to teach bumblebees(大黄蜂) to pull strings to get to food and then pass on what they have learned to others in their colony(群体)—showing a high level of intelligence despite their tiny brains. 答案:根据teach bumblebees(大黄蜂) to pull strings to get to food and then pass on what they have learned to others ☞B选项Bees can learn and teach 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One morning last week I looked out of my study window and saw that it was a fine day. No, it was a wonderful day: the sun shone down from a sky without even a single cloud. But later that day, hard at work at my desk, I heard a loud noise on the roof. Turning to the window, I saw that the sky was now the color of charcoal. Two minutes later the rain poured, making rivers of water. ___36___It’s extremely variable. Go ahead with your picnic in the local park by all means, but don’t suppose that because the sun is shining now, it will be when you open your pack of sandwiches. _____37_____ The weather in Britain is not always bad. ___38___This is one of the biggest reasons why the British talk so often about the weather. Wherever there are strangers standing or sitting close together, and talk can not be avoided. The conversation focuses on the weather: “Yes, the weather has been good, hasn’t it?” or “____39____” The unexpected change of the weather is something that every British can agree on.___40___ Even those with different opinions on everything else in the world, such as the argument in the UK about membership of the European Union, can talk about the weather without leading to a quarrel. A. It is just changeable. B. That makes it a safe topic of conversation. C. You’d better take an umbrella, just in case. D. What shocking weather we’ve been having! E. Strangers will choose to talk about the weather to break the ice. F. This story will give you some idea about weather in Britain. G. Are you going for a picnic? 【答案】36. F 37. C 38. E 39. D 40. A 【解析】 英国天气变化快,这是英国人都接受的。所以英国人的谈话离不开天气,甚至是陌生人在英国也能用谈论天气情况而打断僵局。 36. F 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据第二段中的描述可知英国的天气说变就变,变化快,再下文中的“The weather in Britain is not always bad.”可知上文的故事就是告诉我们英国的天气变大。分析选项F项(这个故事将使你对英国的天气有所了解)。就是上文与下文内容的一个衔接。故选F项。 37. C 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据 “It’s extremely variable”天气变化多端。可推断出,不要认为现在阳光灿烂,就可以打开食物吃了,(因为天所就变就变),所以最好要带把伞。分析选项可知C(你最好带把伞,以防万一)符合题意,故选C。 38. E 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据本段中的“This is one of the biggest reasons why the British talk so often about the weather. Wherever there are strangers standing or sitting close together, and talk can not be avoided. The conversation focuses on the weather:”这是英国人经常谈论天气的最大原因之一。每当有陌生人站在一起或坐在一起,关于天气的谈话都是不可避免的。分析选项可知E项(陌生人会选择谈论天气来打破僵局)符合题意,且E项与本段有词的复现。故选E项。 39. D 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据本段的内容可知,陌生人谈话的内容都是说天气如何的。分析只有D项与A项都与谈论天气有关。但陌生人肯定会对天气变化快而感到震惊的,故D项符合题意。 40. A 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段内容说:每个英国人都能同意英国天气的变化突然。即使是对世界上其他事物持有不同意见的人,比如英国关于欧盟成员国的论点,谈论天气时也不会引起争吵。它只是可变的。因为天气只是多变的。这是大家都接受的。分析选项可知A项符合题意。 第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分) 第一节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)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。 I have written a poem called Flying Kites, in which a man ___41___ his son to fly a kite.

A 59. D 60. A 【解析】当作者的儿子从大学退学而找了一份普通的工作时,作为大学教授的我觉得儿子让我蒙羞。当儿子反问父亲时。于是作者记起了自己所写的诗《放风筝》,诗中的父亲自问“是否会无私地对儿子放手吗”,给了我启发。这件事告诉我们,孩子大了可以做决定时我们不要一味地为了自己,而不去考虑孩子。这样才是真正的爱孩子,孩子可能会取得更好的成就。 41. B 考查动词辨析。construct建造; instruct吩咐,指导,命令; advise建议; allow允许。句意:我写了首诗叫《放风筝》,里面有一个人教(instruct)他儿子放风筝根据常识可知,是父亲教(指导)儿子放风筝。故选A项。 42. A 考查副词辨析。句意:几分钟后,孩子突然(suddenly)松开绳子,让风筝翱翔。根据句意可知孩子是突然地放开绳子。下文“With joy in his eyes,”可知,B(sadly悲伤地)、D.项(abnormally不正常地)和C项(automatically不自觉地,机械地自动地)不匹配,是错误的,故选A 43. D 考查短语辨析。in particular尤其, 特别;in a way在某种程度上; in place在对的位置,适当的;in the distance在远处。句意:他眼里充满喜悦,看着它徐徐上升直到远处消失。根据“until it disappears”可知是消失在远处,故选D。 44.

B 考查形容词。 little几乎没有;usual 平常的,通常的;mild温柔的,温暖的,轻微的; pretended假装的句意:加里设法在托儿所找到了一份工作,很平常地去工作。根据后一句“Gary managed to find a job”可知找到工作不容易,因此不会选A和D的,而C与本空不匹配,故选B 49. C 考查副词。根据上文加里退学在托儿所找到了一份工作,作为一个大学教授来说,是很失望的。因此尽管儿子找到工作,然而(however)我还是失望。故选C 50. C 考查名词辨析。根据前面的“Many years later my son, Gary,”可知是他的儿子,故千元这C项。 51.

Having been exposed 62. on 63. what 64. are 65. yourself 66. probably 67. anxious 68. be needed 69. strengthen 70. that 【解析】 本文主要介绍为何很难戒烟,以及如何戒烟。 61. Having been exposed 考查省略句。长期接触吸烟,你可能会觉得很难戒烟。expose…to…为固定搭配,意为“使…暴露于…,使…接触….”。分析句子可知,expose的逻辑主语是you,使你接触,要用被动,根据时间状语“for a long time,”可知要用完成时,故用Having been exposed. 62. on 考查固定搭配。Have an/the effect on…,为固定搭配,意为“对…有影响”。分析句子可知,And the effects it has _____2____是个定语从句。Effect是先行词,在从句中作has的宾语,故要用介词on. 63. what 考查名词从句。分析句子do you know ____3____ it is可知know后的 ____3____ it is是个宾语从句,而宾语从句中缺少了表语,缺少表语,要用what。句意:但是你知道是什么导致了这种情况吗? 64. are 考查主谓一致。句意:首先,大量的尼古丁进入你的身体是你身体上瘾的根源。分析句子quantities of nicotine you get into your body __4__ the source of your physical addiction.可知quantities 是句子的主语时,谓语动词要用复数,故be动词要用are。 65. yourself 考查反身代词。句意:其次,你的习惯是有责任的,你就不能使自己习惯你体内没有尼古丁。分析句子可知,是让你自己习惯,故要用反身代词。故用yourself。 66. probably 考查固定搭配。句意:第三,最有可能的是,你可能在精神上上瘾,并且相信吸烟会让你感觉良好。most probably 为固定搭配,意为“最有可能,大概”。故用probably。 67. anxious 考查形容词作表语。句意:每当你感到焦虑的时候,记住,在任何情况下,你都不应该伸手去拿香烟。分析句子可知anxiety在句子中作系动词feel的表语,因此要用形容词anxious。 68. be needed 考查名词从句中的虚拟语气。句意:还有人建议,如果情况紧急,就需要帮助。在英语中如果有表示建议,命令、要求等词所带的名词从句要用虚拟语气should+动词原形,should可以省略。而本句中suggest表示建设,要用should+动词原形。分析句子可知帮助help是被需要,故用(should)+be needed,因此填be needed。 【名词辨析】一坚持”、二命令、三建议、四要求等后的宾语从句。 在表示“坚持”、“命令”、“建议”、“要求”等后的宾语从句要用虚拟语气。这类动词可归纳为“一个坚持(insist)、两个命令(order, command)、三个建议(advise, suggest, propose)、四个要求(demand, require, request, ask)”这类虚拟语气由“should+动词原形”构成。其中的should在美国英语中通常可以省略。如 He insisted that I (should) go with them. 他坚持要我同他们一起去。 He ordered that it (should) be sent back. 他命令把它送回去。 The doctor advised [suggested] that he (should) not smoke. 医生建议他不要抽烟。 He requires that I (should) appear. 他要求我出场。 注:这类句子有时可用于被动结构,前面用先行词it作主语代表后面的从句。如 It was proposed that this matter be discussed next time. 有人提议这事下次再讨论。 It is suggested that the meeting ( should ) be put off.大家建议推迟会议。 It was ordered that we ( should ) arrive there in two hours. 命令我们两小时后到达那里 69. strengthen 考查动词不定式。句意:当然,最重要的是当你想放弃时,重要的是坚定你的决心。分析句子可知,动词不定式to strengthen your resolve…是作表语的,strong是形容词,故用其动词strengthen。 70. that 考查固定搭配。句意:你可以相信,只要你不断努力,你就能完全摆脱它。depend on it that…为固定用法,意为“取决于”。所以填that。 【名师点睛】it作引导词的特殊用法。 动词/动词短语it that ……后面depend on/count on/rely on/ see to等这些词组是带介词的动词短语,不能直接接that引导的宾语从句。加it,能接受that宾语从句。that ……引导的是同位语从句,就是指代it的内容。这样的句式还有 1. sb. depend on/count on/rely on/ see to(负责,确保) / answer for it that… 如:You may rely on it that he won’t be late. You must see to it that the doors are locked before you leave the lab. 2.主语+appreciate +it + if-从句 如: I really appreciate it if you could help me with my math. 3. 主语+hate / dislike / love / like +it + when-从句 如:I hate it when people speak with their mouths full. 4.sb. take it for granted that… 认为……是理所当然的 如:I take it for granted that he will succeed. 第四部分:写作(共两节;满分35分) 第一节:短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 71. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(^),并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。 修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意:1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词; 2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。 There is little doubt that whether it is human activity rather than natural phenomena that have caused global warming. It is largely due to the burning of the fossile fuels ranged from gas to oil. And almost all scientists subscribe to a view above. Besides, their attitudes towards this rise are absolute different. On one hand, some think if there is not such a rise, plants would not grow quicker and crops would not produce more. On the other hand, those opposed to the view thought that it is very serious. In their opinion, any trend in that the temperature increases by 5 degrees will lead to a catastrophe. In spite of this, that doesn’t mean we can do nothing . With our natural resources running out, we should do what we can protect our earth! 【答案】去掉whether have 改成has ranged 改成ranging a改成the Besides 改成 However absolute 改成 absolutely is 改成were thought改成think that改成which can后加to 【解析】1.去掉whether 考查固定句式。句意:毫无疑问,引起全球变暖的是人类活动而不是自然现象。There is no/little doubt that…,为固定句式,意为“…..毫无疑问”。故去掉whethe。 2.have 改成has 考查主谓一致。句意:引起全球变暖的是人类活动而不是自然现象。分析句子natural phenomena that have caused global warming可知这是定语从句,natural phenomena 是先行词,在后面的定语从句中作主语,所以用关系词that引导从句,关系词应该与先行词是一致的,而 natural phenomena是单数,所以谓语动词要用单数形式,故把have改为 has. 3.ranged 改成ranging 考查分词辨析。句意:这大部分是由于化石燃料从天然气到石油燃烧。分析句子可知,range作fuels的定语。而fuels与range,是主动关系,这种化石燃料是从…到….变化,故用主动形式而非被动形式,因此把ranged 改成ranging. 4.a改成the 考查冠词。句意:几乎所有的科学家都赞同上面的观点。分析句意可知,指上面的观点,是特指,要用定冠词the,而a是不定冠词是泛指,因此把a 改为the。 5.Besides 改成 However 考查连词辨析。句意:然而他们对这种燃烧石油的增加的态度是完全不同的。分析句意可知是转折,故把.Besides 改成 However。 6.absolute 改成 absolutely 考查副词修饰形容词。分析句子absolute修饰形容词 different.,但修饰形容词要用副词,而absolute是形容词,不能修饰 different.,故要用其副词形式absolutly,因此把absolute 改成 absolutely。 7.is 改成were 考查谓语动词。句意:一方面,有些人认为,如果没有这样的增长,植物不会生长得更快,庄稼也不会生产更多。根据句子可知,本句是虚拟语气。根据下句“plants would not grow quicker and crops would not produce more.”是与现在事实相反,所以if 从句要用一般过去时,故把is 改成were。 8.thought改成think 考查时态。句意:另一方面,反对这一观点的人认为这是非常严重的。分析句子可知,过去反对的现在认为很严重,故把thought改成think。 9.that改成which 考查定语从句。句意; 他们认为,气温升高5度的任何趋势都会导致灾难。分析句子any trend in that the temperature increases by 5 degrees will lead to a catastrophe.可知,any trend是先行词,在从句中作介词 in 的宾语,trend是物,所以可以用关系词that 或which,但如果把介词in提到关系词前,只能用which,不能用that 。 【名师点睛】定语从句中只能用which 不能用that情况 在定语从句中,当先行词是指物时,关系代词既可用which也可用that。但有时只能用which不能用that。只用which,不用that的情况。 1)which可用在非限制性定语从句中。例如: The project , which lasted four years, cost one billion dollars.这项工程历时四年,耗资十亿美元。 2) 在非限制性定语从句中,which可修饰一整个句子,此时that不能修饰。 3)如果把介词提到关系代词前面时,要用which。例: He may come, in which case I'll ask him. 他也许会来,来了我就问他 This is the house in which we lived three years ago.这是我们三年前住过的那所房子。 注意: 如果介词不放在修饰事物的限定性定语从句的句首,which就可换为that,例如: This is the question which/that we’ve had so much discussion about. =This is the question about which we’ve had so much discussion. 这就是我们已经多次讨论过的问题。 10.can后加to 考查动词不定式作目的状语。句意:我们应该尽我们所能去保护我们的地球。分析句子可知,to protect our earth保护我们的地球是目的,故要在can后加to。 第二节:书面表达(满分25分) 72. 假如你是李华。请你给你的加拿大朋友Nick写一封信,介绍你的新校园的有关情况。要点包括: 1. 新校园位于城市东北,占地约16万平方米,兼具文化性和现代性;主要建筑包括教学楼,实验楼,图书楼,宿舍,餐厅和体育馆等等。学校设施齐备,师资优良。 2. 你在新校园的学习生活情况。 3. 邀请Nick来你校参观。 注意: 1. 词数:120词左右,开头已经给出,不计入总词数。 2. 可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。 3. 参考词汇:校园 campus Dear Nick, How are things going?
