　　答案与解析：

　　1. B

　　由下文可知自己的地位和生活水平降低了。

　　2. D

　　女友过去每天晚上都做饭，现在什么事也不做就是“坐”在电视机前看电视。

　　3. A

　　根据生活常识，当然是不上班的时候看电视。

　　4. C

　　由上文“女友命令我拿些方便面来”可知是边看电视边想象是在吃韩国的“膳食”。而不可能是韩国的水果、疏菜或蛋糕。

　　5. B

　　根据下文的内容可知：女友发誓要学做韩国菜肴。

　　6. D

　　既然要“记录下长今做菜的每一个细节（record any details of Jang Geum’s cooking）”可见女友命令我“站在电视机旁边”。

　　7. A

　　女友认为自己手艺不好的原因是作菜的工具有问题，此句大意为“工欲善其事，必先利其器”。

　　8. C

　　由下文的a new knife 可知，女友把厨艺不好的原因归结于那把笨拙的菜刀。

　　9. A

　　该句句意为“我决定买把新刀给她。”

　　10. C

　　该句句意为“在一家商店里，她特别慎重耐心地挑选。”

　　11. B

　　女友最后选了一把与长今的刀形状最接近的刀。

　　12. A

　　为展示自己的技术，女友加快了切菜的速度，所以使手受伤了。

　　13. D

　　该句句意为“幸运的是，这把刀并不像营业员吹嘘得那样锋利。”

　　14. C

　　由下文的she talked about the dress every day可知，其女友迷上了韩国的服装式样。

　　15. B

　　该句句意为“她不但每天谈论（韩国）服装，还威胁说把我的领带改成蝴蝶结，就像长今衣服上的蝴蝶结一样。”

　　16. A

　　由句子的谓语动词happened to可知，此处的副词意为“凑巧，巧合”。

　　17. D

　　此时岳父母的心情当然是十分震惊。

　　18. B

　　该句大意为“《大长今》目的是激励青年人实现他们的雄心壮志。”aim at目的是；shoot at朝……射击；direct at 朝着……方向；work at从事于，致力于。

　　19. C

　　看了《大长今》后，女友并没有受到激励去努力地工作或学习，而是每天坐在沙发上，手拿薯条，眼睛盯着电视剧。

　　20. A

　　该题句意为“尽管这部电视剧现在已经演完了，但这种局面并没有多少改变。”由even though可知，此处前后句意存在转折关系。

　　阅读理解(学龄前儿童)：

　　As children play pretend, they explore relationships between family members, friends and co­workers and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Playing house, they learn more about how parents feel about their children. Imaginative play helps develop empathy(同情) for others. If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need. They become more willing to play fair, to share, and to cooperate.

　　Build self­confidence

　　Young children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers(摩天大楼) or a superhero defending the planet is empowering to a child. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their st intellectual growth

　　Using the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought.Children who can see a king's castle in a mound(堆) of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically(象征性地). This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds, and so on.improve sentence structure and promote communication skills.

　　Work out fears

　　Playing pretend can help children work out their fears and worries. When children role璸lay about the big,

　　bad monster under the bed, they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn't seem quite so big or so bad. Imaginative play also helps kids vent(发泄) confusing feelings they might have, such as anger toward a parent or compete with a new sibling(兄弟姐妹)．

　　To encourage your youngster's imagination, read to him every day. Books offer children the opportunity to visit other worlds and create new ones of their own.

　　For generations children have enjoyed reading the story of Peter Pan because Peter takes them on fascinating adventures.Reader's Digest Young Families offers a beautiful typical Disney edition of Peter Pan, which is an iParenting Media Award winner. Click here to find out how you can get this classic story along with 2 free books桞ambi and Pinocchio.

　　16s．What's NOT the advantage of children having a good imagination?

　　A．Understanding the other people's feelings and problems.

　　B．Expressing their feelings like anger.

　　C．Having a strong faith in their own abilities and potential.

　　D．Helping them form a good habit of reading stories.

　　17．What does the underlined word “Boost” mean?

　　A．Improve.

　　B．Limit.

　　C．the story of Peter Pan has been popular with kids

　　D．Bambi and Pinocchio are offered for free because of bad sales

　　B

　　Cellphones: is there a cancer link?

　　Could your cellphone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, power lines and wi­fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumors.

　　Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany, in New York, thinks there's a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia(白血病). Also there's a greater than 90 percent chance that cellphones can cause brain tumors. “It's apparent now that there's a real risk，” said Carpenter.

　　But others believe these concerns are unjustified. Dr Martha Linet, the head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学) at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I don't support warning labels for cellphones，” said Linet. “We don't have the evidence that there's much danger.”

　　Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs(电磁场) and illness—so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several years. It's funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cellphone industry group. The final report should come out later this year, but data so far don't suggest a strong link between cellphone use and cancer risk.

　　20．From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because________．

　　A．they have evidence that the use of cellphones can lead to cancer

　　B．they make a fuss over cellphone use

　　C．some experts have given a warning

　　D．cellphones are responsible for brain tumors

　　21．By saying “I don't support warning labels for cellphones，” Dr Martha Linet has the idea that________e nothing to do with cancer

　　22．The underlined word “underway” is closest in meaning to________．

　　A．started

　　B．kept on

　　C．gone on

　　D．in progress

　　23．Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate?

　　A．Optimistic.

　　B．Objective.

　　C．Disapproving.

　　D．Casual.

　　Ⅲ.书面表达假设你是李华，是我校一名高三学生。最近你收到来自友好学校朋友Jack的邀请，请你下个月去他们学校参加文化交流活动并介绍中国的传统绘画。 但是你和其他高三学生一样在忙于准备高考，不得不谢绝他的邀请。请根据下面的要点给Jack用英语写一封回信。要点：1.谢绝Jack的邀请；说明你的理由；推荐你的同学Anna参加，并说明原因。注意：1.词数为120左右；可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；信的开头已为你写好(不计入总词数)。参考词汇：National College Entrance Examination 高考，_____________________________________________________________________

　　Lesson 38 The first calender 最早的日历

　　Future historians will be in a unique position when they come to record the history of our own times. They will hardly know which facts to select from the great mass of evidence that steadily accumulates. What is more, they will not have to rely solely on the written word. Films, videos, CDs and CD-ROMS are just some of the bewildering amount of information they will have. They will be able, as it were, to see and hear us in action. But the historian attempting to reconstruct the distant past is always faced with a difficult task. He has to deduce what he can from the few scanty clues available. Even seemingly insignificant remains can shed interesting light on the history of early man.

　　Up to now, historians have assumed that calendars came into being with the advent of agriculture, for then man was faced with a real need to understand something about the seasons. Recent scientific evidence seems to indicate that this assumption is incorrect.

　　Historians have long been puzzled by dots, lines and symbols which have been engraved on walls, bones, and the ivory tusks of mammoths. The nomads who made these markings lived by hunting and fishing during the last Ice Age which began about 35,000 B.C. and ended about 10,000 B.C. By correlating markings made in various parts of the world, historians have been able to read this difficult code. They have found that it is connected with the passage of days and the phases of the moon. It is, in fact, a primitive type of calendar. It has long been known that the hunting scenes depicted on walls were not simply a form of artistic expression. They had a definite meaning, for they were as near as early man could get to writing. It is possible that there is a definite relation between these paintings and the markings that sometimes accompany them. It seems that man was making a real effort to understand the seasons 20,000 years earlier than has been supposed.

　　未来的历史学家在写我们这一段历史的时候会别具一格。对于逐渐积累起来的庞大材料，他们几乎不知道选取哪些好，而且，也不必完全依赖文字材料。电影、录像、光盘和光盘驱动器只是能为他们提供令人眼花缭乱的大量信息的几种手段。他们能够身临其境般地观看我们做事，倾听我们讲话。但是，历史学家企图重现遥远的过去可是一项艰巨的任务，他们必须根据现有的不充分的线索进行推理。即使看起来微不足道的遗物，也可能揭示人类早期历史的一些有趣的内容。

　　历史学家迄今认为日历是随农业的问世而出现的，因为当时人们面临着了解四季的实际需要，但近期科学研究发现，好像这种假设是不正确的。

　　长期以来，历史学家一直对雕刻在墙壁上、骨头上、古代长毛象的象牙上的点、线和形形色色的符号感到困惑不解。这些痕迹是游牧人留下的，他们生活在从公元前约35，000年到公元前10，000年的冰川期的末期，以狩猎、捕鱼为生。历史学家通过把世界各地留下的这种痕迹放在一起研究，终于弄懂了这种费解的代码。他们发现代码与昼夜更迭和月亮圆缺有关，事实上是一种最原始的日历。大家早就知道，画在墙上的狩猎图景并不是单纯的艺术表现形式，它们有着一定的含义，因为它们已接近古代人的文字形式。有时，这种图画与墙壁上的刻痕共存，它们之间可能有一定的联系。看来人类早就致力于探索四季变迁了，比人们想像的要早20,000年。

　　***************************************************结束

　　阅读理解

　　A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for the old and how to improve their lives.It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society.I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.

　　First，employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees.To make this possible，a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose.But when a company must take lifelong responsibility for its employees，it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.

　　Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual.This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement.This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years.This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.

　　In addition，the government could take the responsibility for the care of the old.This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions.Furthermore，some institutions should be created for senior citizens，which can help provide a comfortable life for them.Unfortunately，as the present situation in our country shows，this is not a truly viable answer.The government can seldom afford to care for the old，particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.

　　One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some workplaces especially for the old where they are independent.

　　To sum up，all these options have advantages and disadvantages.Therefore，it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to the old generations.

　　16．What is the passage mainly about?

　　A．The problem faced by the old in society.

　　B．Why we should take responsibility for the old.

　　C．How we can improve the lives of the old.

　　D．Where the old can go to get their pensions.

　　17．According to the passage，how can the government help to improve the lives of the retired people?

　　A．Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.

　　B．Increase saving levels of people during their working years.

　　C．Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.

　　D．Make available pensions for those who have retired.

　　18．The underlined word “viable” most probably means “________”．

　　A．impossible

　　B．practical

　　C．usefulD．successful

　　19．What can be concluded from the passage?

　　A．Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.

　　B．Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.

　　C．Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.

　　D．There is no single solution to the problem of the old.

　　20．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage?

　　A．To point out the need for government supporting for old people.

　　B．To make general readers aware of the problems of the retired people.

　　C．To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.

　　D．To instruct the retired people on how they can have a happier life.

　　Ⅲ.假定你校将举行一个成人仪式，你将作为代表在仪式上发言。请你按照以下内容要点准备一篇英文发言稿。

　　1．过去对成年的向往；

　　2．现在的感受和认识；

　　3．将来的目标及措施。

　　注意：1.词数：10左右；

　　2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；

　　3．发言稿的开头与结束语已写好，但不计入总词数。
