Turn on the TV or check the news online and it seems to be one 36 after another.  37 when we do get a glimpse of 38 news, it attracts our eyes right up. Like just recently, there was a science article online about 39 and how they prepare delicious meals. I went right for it. I was really 40 about what was happening out there in the ocean. It was a short break from the 41 news which we really don't want to know about. In an attempt to write more 42 articles, the media sometimes give us a glimpse of what I call, almost news. Like a recent articles about finding a woman they think might be 128 years old. That's kind of 43  But they didn't wait to find out if it was 44 news first. Instead, they just printed that 45 news story. It's still a nice break. And if the woman actually is 128 years old, I'd like to see a follow-up article on 46 she did it. Wouldn't it be great if she grew so 47 from eating ice cream, potato ‎ chips and dip? While it's true that sensationalism (追求轰动效应)  48 stories, we need frequent breaks from all that negative reality. There's another form of reporting that's extremely 49 and it's neither positive nor negative. It’s 50  news. A possible problem is 51 , such as a volcano in Alaska that's expected to erupt.  Scientists at the volcano center in Alaska had been monitoring a series of 52 under the volcano. The residents, being warned as a good news report will do, were buying up breathing masks and air filters for their homes. They're 53 food and water in case they need to hunker (蹲下) down in the house for a few days while volcanic ash falls and settles and even the earthquakes follow. News like that serves a great 54 : giving people time to prepare for a disaster on the way so they have a chance to do whatever is necessary to 55 themselves and their kids. 36. A. story              B. disaster                C. comedy              D. joke 37. A. So                    B. But                         C. Still                      D. Otherwise 38. A. sudden           B. shocking             C. good                    D. sad 39. A. tigers              B. dolphins              C. monkeys           D. birds 40. A. sorry              B. happy                   C. upset                  D. curious 41. A. normal           B. common              C. usual                  D. average 42. A. positive         B. valuable               C. scary                 D. interesting 43. A. cool                 B. strange                 C. bad                     D. exciting 44.

A. collapse           B. fire                        C. flood                     D. earthquakes 53. A. giving away   B. taking away      C. storing up          D. using up 54.

A. protect              B. educate              C. persuade             D. encourage 第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。 A When my interest shifted from space to the sea, I never expected it would cause such confusion among my friends, yet I can understand their feelings. As I have been writing and talking about space flight for the best part of 20 years, a sudden switch of interest to the depth of the sea does seem peculiar. To explain, I'd like to share my reasons behind this unusual change of mind. The first excuse I give is an economic one. Underwater exploration is so much cheaper than space flight. The first round-trip ticket to the moon is going to cost at least 10 billion dollars if you include research and development. By the end of this century, the cost will be down to a few million. On the other hand, the diving suit and a set of basic tools needed for skin-diving can be bought for 20 dollars. My second argument is more philosophical. The ocean, surprisingly enough, has many things in common with space. In their different ways, both sea and space are equally hostile. If we wish to survive in either for any length of time, we need to have mechanical aids. The diving suit helped the design of the space suit. The feeling and the emotions of a man beneath the sea will be much like those of a man beyond the atmosphere. 56. How did the speaker's friends respond to his change of interest?      A. They wanted to follow his example.      B. They fully supported his undertaking.      C. They were puzzled by his decision.      D. They were afraid he wasn't fully prepared. 57. In what way does the speaker think diving is similar to space travel7      A. They both attract scientists'‎ ‎ attention.      B. They can both be quite challenging.      C. They are both thought-provoking (激发思考的).      D. They may both lead to surprising findings. 58. What is the speaker's purpose in giving this talk?      A. To show how simple the mechanical aids for diving can be.      B. To provide an excuse for his changeable character.      C. To explore the philosophical issues of space travel.      D. To explain why he took up underwater exploration.‎ B If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children.  But how you say it can be quite tricky. If you say to your children “I'm sorry I got angry with you, but...”What follows that “but”can render the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache” leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology. Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say“I'm sorry you're upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done. Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific:  act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “I'm useless as a parent”does not commit a person to any specific improvement. These pseudo-apologies (伪道歉) are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies. But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition (悔悟) ,children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children's expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent's clothes without permission is not. 59. If a mother adds “but” to an apology,      A. she doesn't feel that she should have apologized      B. she does not realize that the child has been hurt      C. the child may find the apology easier to accept      D. the child may feel that he owes her an apology 60. According to the author, saying “I'm sorry you're upset” most probably ‎ means“______”      A. You have good reason to get upset      B. I'm aware you're upset, but I'm not to blame      C. I apologize for hurting your feelings      D. I'm at fault for making you upset 61. It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because ______ .      A. it gets one into the habit of making empty promises      B. it may make the other person feel guilty      C. it is vague and ineffective      D. it is hurtful and insulting 62. We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry ______.      A. the complexities involved should be ignored      B. their ages should be taken into account      C. parents need to set them a good example      D. parents should be patient and tolerant 63. It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is ______.      A. a social issue calling for immediate attention      B. not necessary among family members      C. a sign of social progress                                   D. not as simple as it seems                                            C Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week 1 received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero. That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's life? Today I decided to look up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave”. As I read on, it also said“person who is good and noble”. That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I happened to open, and hold the door for someone as a courtesy. As they passed me by, I say, “How are you today?”Most of the time that would be no big deal, but this time let's say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near tile end of the rope. That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long ‎ time. Having been near “the end of my rope”, after my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it , saved a life and became a hero. The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become“heroes”. Gee, who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero, and possibly save a life, just by being kind and courteous to others? The best part of all is that becoming a hero is free to all who wish to wear such an honor. 64. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?      A. Why Should You Be A Hero?                       B. What Exactly Is A Hero?      C. I Am A Hero.                                                        D. Everyone Is A Hero. 65. The underlined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 4 means the behavior that is ______ .      A. both polite and respectful                                B. both brave and fearless      C. both thoughtful and considerate                   D. both cute and kind 66. The underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refers to ______ .      A. the wonderful card the writer received      B. the action of sending the card      C. the fact that the card saved the writer      D. the fact that the sender was a true friend 67. According to this passage, which of the following can be considered as the behavior of a hero?      A. Holding a door open for someone.      B. Sending someone a wonderful card.      C. Keeping writing many stories for ‎ children.      D. Being kind to someone who has a hard time.‎ D Do you still watch cable TV with only several channels now?

During his teens, he was sent to London to study as a merchant. Soon, Caxton became a successful wool merchant and moved to Bruges‎, ‎Belgium, the center of the wool trade at that time. From 1462 to1470 he  served  as Governor of the “English Nation of Merchant Adventurers”, which allowed him to act as a diplomat (外交官) for the English King, Edward IV. Caxton would also become a member of the household of Margaret, Duchess of Burgundy, the sister of Edward IV. Margaret became an important supporter and influence in Caxton's life, encouraging him to translate texts from French into English. In the early 1470s, Caxton travelled to Cologne‎, ‎Germany in order to learn about the art of printing. He studied under the famous printer Johann Veldener. Having learned the art of printing, Caxton returned to Bruges and printed his first book Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye. It was a book that Caxton had  translated himself from French to English, and more importantly, it was the first book ever to be printed in English. In 1476, Caxton returned to his motherland and set up a printing press in London. In 1477, he produced the first printed book in England, Sayings of the Philosophers. Over the following years,  Caxton's press produced over one hundred books, including Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Malory's La Morte d'Arthur. Today, William Caxton is remembered as one of the most important figure in the history of English book printing. The books he printed are much sought after by collectors and tend to command very high prices when sold at auction (拍卖). 72.

Earth Hour was put forward by WWF and The Sydney Morning Herald in 2007, when 2.2million residents of Sydney participated by turning off all unnecessary lights. Following Sydney's lead, many other cities around the world adopted the event in 2008. Earth Hour 2010 will take place on March 27, 2010 from 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm local time. Earth Hour 2009 was from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm local time, on March28, 2009. 88 countries and about 4,000 cities joined Earth Hour 2009, ten times more than Earth Hour 2008 had (2008 saw about 400 cities participate). Among the participants in 2009 was, for the first time, the headquarters of the United Nations in New York City. The UN conservatively estimates that its participation would save $102 in ‎ energy. Reports showed that the Philippines topped the Earth Hour participation as 647 cities and towns or over 15 mill ion Filipinos were estimated to have joined in the hour-long lights-off at 8:30-9:30 pm local time. This was followed by Greece with 484 cities and towns participating, and Australia with 309. The capital city of India, New Delhi's power demand fell by 1000MW.The Canadian province of Ontario, not including the city of Toronto, saw a decrease of 6% of electricity while Toronto saw a decrease of 15.1%(nearly doubled from 8.7% the previous year) as many businesses darkened,  including the landmark CN Tower. According to Vietnam Electricity Company, Vietnam electricity demand fell 140,000 kWh during Earth Hour. The Philippines was able to save 611 MW of electricity during the period, and was said to be equal to shutting down a dozen coal-fired power plants for an hour. Critics claimed that because Earth Hour volunteers drive around to get the word out, and because people use uneconomical battery operated torches instead of more economical light bulbs, it's possible that Earth Hour actually resulted in an increase in energy usage. The Christian Science Monitor said that most candles are made from paraffin (石蜡), in some cases, replacing light bulbs with candles will cause an increase, instead of a decrease, in carbon dioxide emissions.‎ Title Earth Hour Definition It is a global event organized by WWF and is held on the last Saturday of March every year, which    76    families and businesses to turn off their unnecessary lights and other electrical equipment for one hour.‎ ‎     77    ‎ To increase public awareness of climate change.‎ Earth Hour2007‎ In 2007, 2.2 million people look part in the world's    78    Earth Hour in Sydney‎, ‎Australia.‎ Earth Hour2008‎ About 400 cities around the world was    79    in the event.‎ Earth Hour2009‎ ‎☆ 88 countries and about 4,000 cities darkened from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm local time, on March 28, 2009,    80  the headquarters of the United Nations in New York City. ☆ The Philippines topped the Earth Hour participation,     81    by Greece and Australia.‎ Benefits Power demand falls greatly during Earth Hour and a large amount of electricity is    82   ‎ Different  83      ‎ ‎☆ Energy usage is    84    to be increased as a result of volunteers' driving around to get the word out and people's using uneconomical battery operated torches. ☆ Burning candles made from paraffin    85    reduce the carbon dioxide emissions.‎ ‎]‎ ‎  第二节书面表达(满分25分)        假如你将参加学校的英语演讲活动，请以“Reading More or Traveling More?”为题，根据以下要点写一篇英语短文。     内容要点：     1．有人认为多读书重要，可以积累知识，学习新的技能。     2．有人认为多旅行重要，能够开拓视野，令人放松。     3．你的看法。     注意：1．词数100左右。开头已写好，不计人总词数。           2．对所给要点，逐一陈述，可适当发挥，不要简单翻译。     Different people hold different opinions on how to get acquainted with the world we live in more efficiently.‎ ‎【答案及详细解析】 第一部分：听力 1-5CABCB         6-10ABACB         11-15BCBAC         16-20ACCBA 第二部分：英语知识运用 第一节单项选择 21 - 25 BCBBC    26 - 30 DCDCD    31 -35 ABABA 第二节  完形填空 36 -40 BACBD    41 -45 CAADC    46 - 50 DBCBB    51 -55 ADCDA 第三部分：阅读理解 56 -58 CBD    59 - 63 DBCBD    64 - 67 BACD    68 -71 DACB    72 -75 CBAD 第四部分：书面表达 第一节  任务型读写 76. asks    77.

By reading more books or by traveling more? The topic has aroused many people's attention. Many people maintain that reading is more meaningful than traveling. Through reading,‎ ‎ we can learn a lot about history, cultures and customs, gain much new knowledge that will be useful for our life and work. Some other people, however, believe that traveling enlightens human beings more directly. It helps expand our horizons, and makes us see the world by our own eyes to get first-hand understanding. Besides, it's more relaxing. As for me, the former view makes more sense. Although traveling is a good way to know one's country and the world, it takes more time and costs more than average people can afford, whereas reading is obviously easier to do, books can bring us to anywhere we want.   21.B考查交际用语。表示“请说吧”。 22.C考查时态。题干的时间状语从句的谓语动词realised是过去时，在它前面发生的动作spot用过去完成时had spotted，主句的谓语动词make也用过去时made。 23.B考查非谓语动词。句意：继“虎妈”热潮之后，“狼爸”再一次激起了关于“棍棒教育”的争论。following的意思是“在……以后”。 24.B考查名词辨析。routine常规，惯例。duty责任，职责；tradition传统；hobby兴趣。句意：他的生意 多在网上进行，因此每天查看电子邮件成了他的惯例。故选B。 25.C考查定语从句。whose指前面的hospital。 26.D考查非谓语动词。amusing是V-ing形式用作形容词，意为“有趣的，令人发笑的”；amused为V-ed形式用作形容词，意为“愉快的，开心的”。故答案选D。 27.C考查情态动词。shall用来征求别人的意见。 28.D考查副词辨析。exactly在口语中表示“正是，不错”。 29.C考查不定数量的常用表达。not a few意思是不少，即很多。 30.D考查宾语从句。动词said后有两个并列的宾语从句，意义完整，不缺任何成分，故选that；而and连接两个由that引导的宾语从句时，只有第一个that可省略，所以答案选D。 31.A考查时态。在It/This is the first time that．．．句型中要用现在完成时，如果是was则要用过去完成时。 32.B考查虚拟语气的含蓄条件句，根据题意可知该句是对过去的情况进行虚拟，介词短语without the help of．．．相当于条件从句if there hadn't been the help of…所以主句应用could + have+过去分词，句中all 69 miners与谓语rescue之间构成被动关系，故选B。 33.A考查形容词辨析。appropriate适当的，合适的。outstanding杰出的，显著的；apparent显而易见的，显然的；absorbed投入的，专注的。句意：我们要保证他们接受的教学符合他们的需求。故选A。 34.B考查短语辨析。in response to对……做出反应。in addition to除……之外；in need of需要……；in memory ‎ of纪念。句意：这家公司对顾客的不满做出反应，改进了他们的生产方法。故选B。 35.A考查as引导让步状语从句。as引导让步状语从句时必须将从句中的表语，状语或动词原形置于句首，但主谓顺序不变，故选A。 36.B由第一句话作者感叹好新闻难寻知媒体上充斥负面新闻，故B项“灾难”符合题意。 37.A此处意为，由于负面过多，因此偶尔的正面新闻会立刻吸引人。此处应该为因果关系。故选A。 38.C由句意知，正面新闻由于与众不同，能特别吸引人。下文的例子也与此形成对应。故此处应为good news。 39.B由倒数第二句的in the ocean指，此处所填应为海洋中动物，故选B。 40.D由题意知，作者对海豚的习性感到好奇，想探知究竟，所以才会被此类新闻吸引，而并非对海洋里发生的一切感到高兴或不安。故选D。 41.C由此句中的break知作者将这样的新闻与传统的新闻进行对比，所以usu al“平常的”符合要求。 42.A由此段举的具有正面新闻例子可看出positive符合句意。其它各项与例子的性质并不符合。 43.A cool“很好的，很棒的”，可以用来修饰128岁的长寿老人。此处并非表达长寿老人会让人激动或奇怪。故选A。 44．D由instead知，后句说新闻报道直接付印，所以前句应是新闻没有被查实。real“真实的”，realistic“现实的”。real符合题意。 45.C由本段第一句almost news知只有maybe与almost意思相近。故选C。 46.D由下一句“from eating ice cream，potato chips and dip”知这里应是对方式进行提问。 47.B由上文的128 years old知这里应为old。 48．C sell“使人买（某物），将（某物）卖出”，符合句意。其它各项不符合句意逻辑。 49．B由此段所举的例子知还有另外一种新闻非常有用，可以让人们预防灾害。 50.B由倒数第二句的warned知这里应选B。 51．A由下一句“that's expected to”知此空表达的是将来动作。come up“发生”；come over“过来”；come back“回来”；come down“下来；倒塌”。这里表达的是火山可能会爆发，故选A。 52.D由本段最后一句中的“even the earthquakes follow”知选D。 53.C根据语境可知，附近居民遇到火山地震等灾难要储存(store up)食物的。 54．D serve the purpose，固定短语，“符合要求；解决问题”。 55.A由语境知灾难到来时居民应根据新闻通知来保护(protect)好家庭。 56．C本题的答案位于文章的开头，“When my interest shifted from space to the sea，I never expected it would cause such confusion among my friends”，只不过把confusion换成了puzzle而已，所以选C。 57.B细节理解，文章中提到“The ocean，surprisingly enough，has many things in common with space. In their different ways，both sea and space are equally hostile.”四个选项中只有B符合。 58.D主旨题。文章的大部分篇幅都是用来解释作者为什么对underwater exploration发生了兴趣。所以正确答案选D。 59.D文中第2段中ineffective -词及其后的解析表明D为正确答案。 60.B文中第3段开头就表明说 “I'm sorry you're ‎ upset”只是表面上的道歉，实际上并没有道歉，选项B就是表达了这个意思。 61.C文中第4段末句用了一个具体的例子说明，空泛的道歉无助于在某个方面做出改进，这种道歉是模糊、无效的，所以答案选C。 62．B文章最后一段列举了三种不同年龄的孩子需要不同帮助，所以作者的用意很明确，就是年龄不同，情况便不同，答案选B。 63.D综观全文，特别是首段末句和末段首句这些总结性的句子，可知推断选项D是正确答案。 64．B 65．A猜测同意。根据“作者为他人开门、把门这一行动”可知courtesy表示“有礼的举止”，故选A。 66.C细节理解。根据第五段倒数第二句“That wonderful card probably saved my life”可知。 67.D推理判断。根据全文可推知：真正的英雄是对有困难的人友善。主旨大意。文章的第一段最后一句话“She called me a hero”，紧接着第二段的第一句“That got me thinking about what a hero is”， 所以整篇文章讨论的就是“什么是真正的英雄”。 68.D主旨大意题。文章主要叙述了satellite direct TV的优点和如何使用satellite direct TV，在结合最后一段中的“If you choose satellite direct TV，you'll choose another enjoyable lifestyle”可知D项为最佳答案。 69.A细节理解题。从文章第二段最后一句可知正确答案为A项。 70.C细节理解题。从文章第二段可知Satellite direct TV使用方便、价格便宜。 71.B文章出处题。从最后一段中的“To get more related information，click here”可知该文章选自网上。 72.C主旨大意题。本文简要介绍了英国出版第一人威廉·卡克斯顿。 73.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Caxton returned to Bruges and printed his first book.…”可知正确答案为B项。 74.A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“．．．he produced the first printed book in England.…”可知正确答案为A项。 75.D排序题。从文章中可知，卡克斯顿先是经商，15世纪70年代初他去科隆学习印刷术，学成后回到布鲁日印刷了第一本书，最后在1476年回到伦敦开办了印刷所，故选D项。‎
