And I will go to Sydney for another match next week.‎ 20‎ Text 4‎ M: I've just told that the flight had been put off until 4‎00 in the afternoon.‎ W: Well, that's good. ④We will have a leisure time before going.‎ Text 5‎ W: I spent too much time making up.‎ M: It is important for your interview. ⑤It's said that the first impression is vital when first being interviewed.‎ Text 6‎ M: Jane, you are late.‎ W: Oh, I'm sorry. ⑥The traffic is terrible.‎ M: That's OK.

There were so many things to treasure. What about yours?‎ M: Well, I don't think it was a happy experience. You see, I wasn't very bright then. And teachers didn't seem to like me. But I made a lot of friends and I still keep in touch with some of them now.‎ W: That's great! ⑯Did you have a favorite teacher?‎ M: ⑯Yes. Miss Black. She was my favorite maths teacher. She was so clever.‎ W: And then? Only clever?‎ M: And she was very kind and experienced. In fact, I started to like maths because of her teaching.‎ W: Would you mind telling me who you didn't like at that time?‎ M: Er, Mrs.White, my English teacher, always shouted at me because of some little mistakes. And Mr.Green, my chemistry teacher, always called me “woodenheaded” when I could not remember some figures. ⑰So I hate chemistry even today.‎ 20‎ W: Oh, I am sorry to hear that. But you have done a good job these days!‎ Text 10‎ Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!‎ Welcome to our school. My name is Andrew Brown. I'm a history teacher. I'll give you a quick introduction to the school before I show you around. Our school is called a “free school”.

Most of them are in school by ten.‎ If you look through the door of that big room, you'll see those children reading and drawing there. ⑲Four of the older boys are now on their way to the Car Room to have their driving lessons. Several children are taking turns in the kitchen to help Miss Cabe with lunch. They all enjoy doing this. After lunch it's someone else's job to do the washingup. This job is unpopular. After lunch the children go on with what they've been doing until 430. ⑳On Mondays and Thursdays the school is open in the evening until 900 p．m..‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎1．B　2.C　3.B　4.A　5.B　6.C　7.A　8.B

disasters.It may cause great damage.So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.‎ Fragile items, like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up.Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down.When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.‎ There is a strong chance of short circuits(短路)and fire breakouts during an earthquake.Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.‎ 20‎ During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged.Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you.Never use the elevator to go down.Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.Research has shown that most injures happen when people inside buildings try to go out.Use the staircases at all times.‎ If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings.If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place.Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.‎ If trapped in debris(瓦砾堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you.Use a whistle(哨子)if it is available.Never shout for help.Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust.Do not light a match because you may burn yourself.Do not move about or kick up dust.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文讲述了在地震发生时， 我们应该采取什么样的安全措施。‎

have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.‎ There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present.The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude (震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0.There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and, luckily, none is shown in the website.So, my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.‎ There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget.The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California.As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other.All three of us(my daughter, I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.‎ The second one was in 1963.Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California.The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the_famous_landmark.‎ My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California.It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church.As the building started to shake, I quickly headed for the door to go outside.I remember I said a little prayer—something like，“Help me get out of here in time，Dear Heavenly Father”．Minutes later, I was safe outside.‎ ‎【解题导语】　作者回忆了自己经历的三次地震。‎ ‎24．The author writes the passage mainly to tell us about________.‎ A．a new film about an earthquake B．how to survive an earthquake C．his three earthquake experiences D．how to

than 6.0‎ 20‎ D．all happened in California 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段的“The first one was in 1955...in California.”和第四段第二句以及第五段的“My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California.”可知答案。‎ ‎26．What does the underlined part “the famous landmark” refer to?‎ A．A church.‎ B．Disneyland.‎ C．A building destroyed by an earthquake.‎ D．The place where the author was born.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据“Our

ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款机), I said hello to an old couple who were also paying for gas.‎ I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke began pouring from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend's.We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.‎ I wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me.Soon afterwards, I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.‎ Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In the late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and 20‎ ‎ the battery was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.‎ ‎“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？” I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment.When I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say “thank you”， and it meant a lot, he said.‎ ‎“Thank you”—two powerful words.They're easy to say and mean so much.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己在遇到困难时得到他人无私帮助的两个故事，说明了在接受帮助时表达感谢的重要性。‎ ‎28．Why did the writer get into the old couple's car?‎ A．Because his parents were in the car.‎ B．Because his car had broken down.‎ C．Because his friend told him to do so.‎ D．Because his car's oil had run out.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“black

解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第二、三段可知，这对老夫妇让作者搭他们的车去见朋友，作者下车后，这个丈夫还给了他一张名片，在作者寄去感谢信后，这对老夫妇给作者寄了一个圣诞礼物，由此可知，这对夫妇很善良。故答案选C。‎ ‎30．What did the old couple think of helping the writer?‎ A．They could get a reward.‎ B．It made their holidays worthy.‎ C．They did it by chance.‎ D．It was due to a thankyou letter.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.”可知，这对老夫妇认为，帮助作者让他们的假期很有意义，这一切都是值得的。故答案选B。‎ ‎31．What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A．An Experience to Missouri B．An Old Couple 20‎ C．A Meaningful Holiday D．A Meaningful Thankyou 解析：选D　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文作者主要讲述了自己受到帮助的两个故事。每一次受到帮助后，作者都会通过写便条来表达自己对他们的感谢。“感谢”二字虽然说起来容易，但是意义重大。由此可知，D项“一个有意义的感谢”概括出了文章的主旨，最适合做文章标题。故答案选D。‎ D Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did.This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize，but the smartphone.‎ At parties，more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks.According to a recent International Data Corporation study，well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up，keeping it in hand all day.In addition，too many people in society are using smartphones while driving and as a result，they get into car crashes.34 percent of teenagers admit to texting while driving，and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption.People's attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.‎ Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road，many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction.When with their friends，some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend，which sends a message to that friend：the person I am texting is more important than you.In addition，relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world.Facetoface conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.‎ As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages，smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people.The quality of this technology is hindering societal achievements and weakening the value of communication.Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face to face，but it is also lowering society's ability to communicate.‎ ‎【解题导语】　这是一篇议论文。本文讲述了人们在参加聚会、开车的时候，也在用手机发短信，这极大地影响了人与人之间的交流，甚至导致事故的发生。‎ ‎32．The purpose of this text is to ________.‎ A．call for an end to use the smartphone while driving 20‎ B．appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills C．express a concern about the overuse of the smartphone D．advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone 解析：选C　写作意图题。全文通过描述人们在社交或开车的时候埋头玩智能手机的现象，指出了这一现象背后值得思考的话题：智能手机的过度使用已影响到了人们的日常生活和交流。作者对此表示担忧，因此选C。‎ ‎33．The second paragraph is developed by ________.‎ A．giving examples B．listing figures C．comparing facts D．analyzing the effects 解析：选A　写作手法题。第二段讲述了人们使用智能手机的情况，比如聚会上、开车时，并提到了开车时使用手机发短信的青少年的比重，因此该段是通过举例子来阐述其观点的。‎ ‎34．The author advocates us to make new friends ________.‎ A．by using smartphones B．in a facetoface way C．in different ways D．under a free circumstance 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段的最后两句话可知，作者提倡面对面交朋友，而不是通过手机，因此选B。‎ ‎35．Overdependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that ________.‎ A．parties and gatherings limit their social circle B．people are more and more narrowminded C．people's communication skills are weakened D．facetoface communication becomes less important 解析：选C　细节理解题。由最后一段中的“The quality of this technology...the value of communication.”可知，对手机过于依赖会削弱交流的价值，因此选C。‎ 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。‎ How to Live a Happy Life?‎ Happiness is what we need most with the increase of pressure in modern life. __36__ Fortunately, this is not the case. Everyone has the ability to hang on to 20‎ ‎ happiness with his own efforts. The following methods may lead you to longlasting happiness.‎ ‎•Take exercise. Other than health benefits that are too numerous to mention, exercise makes you smarter, happier, improves sleep, and makes you feel better about your body. __37__ Keeping in touch with nature can help you reduce stress, make you more creative, improve your memory and may even make you a better person.‎ ‎• __38__ Relationships are worth more than you think. Not feeling socially connected can make you stupider and kill you. Loneliness can lead to heart attack, stroke and diabetes. On the other hand, studies have shown that the longestlived people on the planet all place a strong emphasis on social engagement.‎ ‎•Challenge yourself. __39__ Music lessons increase intelligence. Challenging your beliefs strengthens your mind. Increasing willpower just takes a little effort each day and it's more responsible for your success than IQ. Not getting an education or taking advantage of opportunities are two of the things people look back on their lives and regret the most.‎ ‎•Laugh. Laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and the feet. It can even reduce the effect of pain on the body. Humor is a good way to cause laughter. __40__‎ A．Spend time with friends and family.‎ B．Do something kind for the people you care about.‎ C．However, sometimes it seems far away from us.‎ D．Learning another language can keep your mind sharp.‎ E．Life is always full of hope.‎ F．It would be better if you take exercise in nature.‎ G．Just thinking about funny moments or things can help a lot.‎ ‎【解题导语】　这是一篇说明文。作者就如何快乐地生活，提供了一些实用的方法。‎ ‎36．解析：选C　 由下文“Fortunately, this is not the case.”可知，事情并非如此。所以本空要与前一句构成转折关系，才能够引出本句，进而引出话题。故选C。‎ ‎37．解析：选F　 由下文“Keeping in touch with nature can help you reduce stress, make you more creative, improve your memory and may even make you a better person.”可知，与大自然接触可以帮助你减轻压力，使你更有创造力，提高你的记忆力，甚至可能使你成为一个更健康的人。故选F。‎ ‎38．解析：选A 　由下文“Relationships are worth more than you think. Not feeling 20‎ ‎ socially connected can make you stupider and kill you. Loneliness can lead to heart attack, stroke and diabetes.
