His father, Algernon Sydney Porter, was a physician. When William was three years old, his mother died, and he was raised by his grandmother and aunt. William was a good reader, but at the age of fifteen he left school, and worked in a drug store and later on a Texas farm. After that, he moved to Houston, where he had a number of jobs, including that of bank clerk. After moving to Austin, Texas, in 1882, he married.‎ In 1884 he started a humorous weekly The Rolling Stone. When the weekly failed, he joined The Houston Post as a reporter and columnist（专栏作家）. In 1897 he was put into prison over some financial（财务的）dealings. While in prison, William started to write short stories to earn money to support his daughter Margaret. His first work, Whistling Dick’s Christmas Stocking(1899), appeared in McClure’s Magazine. After serving three years of the five years’ sentence，he changed his name to O. Henry, hoping to forget his bitter past.‎ O. Henry moved to New York City in 1902 and from December 1903 to January 1906 he wrote a story a week for the New York World, and also published the stories in other magazines. His first collection, Cabbages and Kings, appeared in 1904. Many other works quickly followed, such as The Gift of the Magi and The Furnished Room. O. Henry’s ‎ best- known work is The Ransom of Red Chief. His stories always have surprising endings. He published 10 collections and over 600 short stories during his lifetime.‎ O. Henry’s last years were shadowed by drinking, ill health, and financial problems. In 1907, he experienced a failed marriage. In 1910, O. Henry died after an illness.‎ ‎4.

A 5. B 6. A 7. D ‎【解析】‎ 本文是说明文。本文著名作家欧•亨利生平简介。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。本文介绍了欧•亨利从出生到早期奋斗，到中年时取得的成就，再到他悲惨的晚年的经历，因此是对他生平的简要介绍，故选A项。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，欧•亨利三岁时母亲就去世了，是祖母和姑母把他抚养大的，由此可推断，他的童年缺少父母的爱，故答案为B项。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段“In 1897 he was put into prison over some financial dealings.”可知欧•亨利是因为经济问题招来的牢狱之灾，故选A项。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章内容可知，这几件事发生的时间分别为：①1902年，②1884-1897年间，③1899年，④1904年以后，⑤1904年。故答案为D项。‎ C Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn't have any other luggage(行李). Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in (办理乘机手续) for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.‎ ‎"Give this package to Jean Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily," Tony said, "You don't have any luggage, right?"‎ ‎"Only this backpack," Brian answered. "You said I could bring one carry-on bag."‎ ‎"That's right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip."‎ ‎"Thanks."‎ Is Brian a criminal (罪犯)? Not at all. He is an air-courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air-couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next ‎ day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air-courier, but it is quick.‎ Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air-couriers. The number of tickets for the air-courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn't for everyone. But if you have very little money, you can be flexible (灵活的) about your travel plans, and don't mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!‎ ‎8. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?_________‎ A. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.‎ B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.‎ C. Because they were the uniforms for air-couriers.‎ D. Because he did not have any luggage with him.‎ ‎9. An air-courier is a person who _____.‎ A. manages a business company in foreign countries B. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries C. travels around the world with cheap tickets D. organizes international flights for tourists ‎10. Businesses choose the air-courier service because _____.‎ A. it is fast B. it is not flexible C. it is cheap D. it is slow ‎11. The author of the text mainly _____.‎ A. describes the activities of a law-breaker B. tells us about a developing business C. argues against the air-courier travel D. suggests an ideal way to free-travel ‎【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文，文章介绍航空快递的一些情况。航空快递主要是运用在需要将文件等快速送往国外的商业活动中。虽然航空快递员的数量一年增长了10%，但不是每一个人都能做航空快递员，如果经费有限，且能忍受1‎ 个星期都穿同样的衣服，还是可以尝试一下做航空快递员的。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。文章第一段最后一句提到“He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn't have any other luggage(行李).”，Brian只带了一个小背包，里面都装满了，而且Brian也没有带其他的行李，说明Brian的包已经没有空间留给衣服了。故选A。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节理解题。文章第六段提到“Air-couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries…”在很多商业活动中第二天就要将文件送到国外，而且“Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company.”通常很多公司唯一能做的就是找到航空快递公司。由此可见，航空快递员就是帮助公司发送文件和包裹的人。故选B。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 细节理解题。文章第六段最后一句提到“It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air-courier, but it is quick.”航空快递对于公司寄送快递的费用不低，但胜在速度快。故选A。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 推理判断题。文章最后一段提到“The number of tickets for the air-courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year.”一年来航空快递员的数量增长了10%，最后一句也提到“But if you have very little money, you can be flexible (灵活的) about your travel plans, and don't mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!”对于那些预算不多，可以忍受一个星期不换衣服的人，可以尝试用这样的一种方式来旅游。以上两点说明航空快递是一个不断发展的产业。故选B。‎ D A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off（打瞌睡）—if it is milked from a cow at night.‎ Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety（焦虑）.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried ‎ milk powder（奶粉） made from cows milked both during the day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.‎ Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.‎ While the effect of cow milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who have trouble falling asleep at night.‎ Previous （以前的）studies have also showed that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.‎ ‎12. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.‎ A. started sleep more easily B. were more anxious C. were less active D. woke up later ‎13. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?‎ A. It’s been tested on mice for ten years.‎ B. It can make people more energetic.‎ C. It exists in milk in great amount.‎ D. It’s used in sleeping drugs.‎ ‎14. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Night Milk and Sleep B. Fat Sugar and Health C. An Experiment on Mice D. Milk Drinking and Health ‎15. How does the author support the theme of the text?‎ A. By giving examples.‎ B. By stating arguments.‎ C. By explaining statistical data.‎ D. By providing research results.‎ ‎【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ ‎.本文讲述了晚上牛奶和睡眠的关系，晚上牛奶包含更多的褪黑激素，这种物质可以帮助睡眠。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ ‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime.可知，喂晚上牛奶的那些老鼠比喂白天牛奶的老鼠更不活跃，更不焦虑。故喂白天牛奶的老鼠更焦虑。故选B。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由第二段“Researchers have discovered that night milk contains more melatonin, which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety”可知，褪黑色素可以使人有困意，因此可以用于安眠药中。故选D项。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。综合全文可知，本文主要讲了在老鼠身上做了实验得知晚上产的牛奶中含有更多褪黑色素，有助于睡眠，故A项符合题意。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据前三段中的But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.一项研究表明……；Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.研究者已经发现晚上牛奶包含更多的褪黑激素，……； The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night. 来自汉城的研究者……。故作者是通过提供研究结果来支持文章主题的。故选D。‎ ‎【点睛】‎ 抓住文章主线和关键词语，归纳文章中心。要注意不是所有的段落都有主题句，有时主题句暗含在句中。阅读这样的文章，就需要自己根据文章的细节来分析，概括出段落的主题，从而推导出文章的主旨。分析的方法是：先弄清该段落主要讲了哪几方面的内容，这些内容在逻辑上有什么联系，然后加以归纳形成主题。3小题主旨大意题。综合全文可知，本文主要讲了在老鼠身上做了实验得知晚上产的牛奶中含有更多褪黑色素，有助于睡眠，故A项符合题意。‎ 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。‎ ‎16. 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。 Africa is a very diverse land with many different tribes.

It was a good chance for me to practise my spoken English, but I went up to him, introduced himself in English and expressed my wish to have a talk with him. In my surprise, he just stared at me, looking puzzling. I thought I had not made myself understand, so I repeated what I had said it. But he just said anything that I didn’t understand. I suddenly realize he was not an English speaker! Not all foreigner speak English.‎ ‎【答案】1.taking后面加上a ‎2.but→so ‎3.himself→myself ‎4.In→To ‎5.puzzling→puzzled ‎6.understand→understood ‎7.去掉 it ‎8.anything→something ‎9.realize→realized ‎10.foreigner→foreigners ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在公园看到一位外国人，想要和他练习口语，结果发现这位外国人不会讲英语，这才发现并不是所有的外国人都会说英语。‎ ‎【详解】考查固定搭配。take a walk为固定搭配，意为散步。故在taking后面加上a。‎ 考查连词。文中第二句提到“对我而言是一个练习口语的好机会”分析句子可知，“发现机会”与“走上前去”不是转折关系，而是因果关系。故but改为so。‎ 考查代词。分析句子可知，该句的主语和宾语相同，都是作者，因此需使用和主语保持一致的反身代词。故himself改为myself。‎ 考查介词。To one’s surprise为固定搭配，意为让人出乎意料的是，故将In改为To。‎ 考查形容词。puzzling修饰物，puzzled修饰人，he为人称代词，故puzzling改为puzzled。‎ 考查固定搭配。make oneself done意为使自己/某事被…，make myself understood意为使自己被听懂。分析句子可知，“我”在与外国人的交谈中，应该使“我自己”被外国人听懂，因此需使用过去分词understood表被动，故understand改为understood。‎ 考查宾语从句。分析句子可知，该句为what引导的宾语从句，该宾语从句中主语为I，谓语为had said，缺少宾语，因此使用what作宾语成分，如果再增加it则重复。故去掉it。‎ 考查代词。anything意为任何事，something意为一些事，且anything通常用于否定句及疑问句中。故anything改为something。‎ 考查动词时态。分析文章可知，文章通篇使用了一般过去时，需保证时态一致，故realize改为realized。‎ 考查名词复数。all作定语，表示“一切的、所有的、全部的”，可修饰可数名词或不可数名词，可数名词需用复数形式。故foreigner改为foreigners。‎ ‎【点睛】all的用法：‎ all作定语，表示“一切的、所有的、全部的”，可修饰可数名词或不可数名词。如：I know all the details。‎ all修饰可数复数名词时，名词前可有the，that，these，those，my，his，her等，也可由基数词。如：All the people you invited are coming.‎ all可与表示一段时间的单数名词连用，表示“整个”。如：It has been raining all day。‎ all作代词时，可指代可数名词和不可数名词，在句中作主语或宾语。如：All of my toys were broken.‎ all可以作同位语。all作为主语的同位语时，应位于实义动词后，系动词、助动词或情态动词后。如：I have read them all。‎ 书面表达（共1题；满分25分）‎ ‎48.写一篇有关汉语的文章。内容如下：‎ ‎1.汉语是世界上最古老的语言之一，也是联合国（United Nations）的工作语言之一。‎ ‎2.现在世界上越来越多的人说汉语。‎ ‎3.随着中国的发展与壮大，汉语在国际交流中起着重要的作用。‎ 要求：1. 字数120词左右 ‎2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】 Chinese is one of the most ancient languages in the world. Although English is used all around the world, more and more people speak Chinese nowadays. You will hear Chinese spoken in many countries and areas. Chinese is also one of the ‎ official languages of the United Nations.‎ Now that China is becoming stronger, Chinese will certainly play a more important part in international communication. More and more people in the world are beginning to learn Chinese and many famous universities have set Chinese course.‎ I’m sure that it is a good idea for people from other countries to learn Chinese.‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。需要根据题目要求介绍：1. 汉语的特点：最古老的语言之一及联合国工作语言之一。2. 说汉语的人数越来越多这一情况。3. 汉语在国际交流中的作用及发展。因为是对汉语的说明及介绍，文章使用一般现在时即可。‎ ‎【详解】首先，根据题目要求，可判断文章写作体裁为说明文。说明文无特定体裁要求，一般可采取三段式的写作方式。其次，确定文章内容及关键词、词组，如one of the most ancient languages（最古老的语言之一），more and more people（越来越多的人），United Nations（联合国），play a more important part in（扮演重要角色）。最后，用适当的句型及连词对文章进行润色。‎ ‎【点睛】本篇文章101个字，没有达到题目要求。在考试中，一定要严格遵守字数要求，否则失分严重。其次，本文中句式比较单一，较少出现定语从句、强调句等英语作文高分句型。如可将“Chinese is one of the most ancient languages in the world.”和“Chinese is also one of the official languages of the United Nations.”改为“Chinese is one of the most ancient languages in the world, which is also the official languages of the United Nations.”，在句型上就将两个简单句合并成了一个复合句。可将“Now that China is becoming stronger, Chinese will certainly play a more important part in international communication.”改为“It is the fast development of China that makes Chinese more and more important in international communication.”这样也增加了文章的丰富性。最后，在结尾可以对汉语或中国的发展进行一个升华，如“And I believe that one day people around the world will enjoy the beauty of Chinese from the bottom of their heart, which also shows our country will be better and better.”切记不可虎头蛇尾。‎
