　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　The day was warm and the sun shone down like a new beginning on my life.I was waving goodbye to my son，the last one of my fledglings(刚会飞的鸟) to leave home and go to new woods，“University actually”．I felt so lighthearted after spending many years looking after my four children—cooking，washing，ironing，teaching them how to look after themselves and manage their finances—that I actually thought “At long last，freedom”．

　　But，as I watched my last one leave，although it was a joyous occasion，I realized I had not really prepared for this day，I was_too_tied_up_with_bringing up these adults of the future to realize that they would all leave the nest and lives independently.

　　At first I didn’t know what “I” wanted to do.I tried a part time job，which ended in me running out in tears.I started a business making soft furnishings，but that didn’t work either.I grew my own veggies and fruit，which lasted 3 years，until I was advised by my doctor that my feet couldn’t take any more “tools” driven through them.

　　I began wondering if I had a future of my own.I cried for the life I was used to，and hadn’t known or wanted anything different.

　　Then one day I saw an ad.for foster parents，I discussed it with my husband who was always behind everything I tried and with great disturbance，I rang up the number.

　　I now laugh and sing with my 14-year-old foster daughter，even when my cooker is a mess and my bathroom is a disaster area.I now know,8 years later，what “I” was meant to be doing with all the spare hours，days，and weeks I had on my hands when my last fledgling flew the nest.The sun shines once again in my home.

　　2．The underlined phrase “was too tied up with” in the second paragraph means “________”．

　　A．live a greener and healthier life

　　B．earn more money for her kids’ education

　　4．What did the empty-nested mother think of her husband?

　　B．Supportive.

　　C．Stubborn.

　　D．Open-minded.

　　Ⅲ.微写作

　　写作素材

　　1．两年前我买了一本书。

　　2．书的内容是关于如何学英语语法及词汇的，并附有很多有用的方法和技巧。

　　3．我想用它换一本汉语词典，这样我可以用来查阅一些常见词汇。

　　(素材来源于2012·重庆·书面表达)

　　提示：尽量使用高级表达：whose和介词＋which引导的非限制性定语从句以及疑问词＋不定式作宾语等。

　　连句成篇(将以上句子连成一篇50词左右的英语短文)

　　Two years ago I bought a book，whose content is about how to learn English grammar and vocabulary with many special useful methods and skills.I want to exchange it for a Chinese dictionary，in which I can look up some common words.

　　1．establish v．建立；设立　established adj.知名的；已建立的　establishment n．机构；团体；企业　establish a reputation确立名声　establish oneself as...确立自己为……　get/become established立足；站稳脚跟

　　2．occupation n．职业；工作；占有　in occupation of占有

　　in the occupation of被……占有　take occupation of占有　be occupied with忙于

　　3．apply v．申请；适用；涂抹　application n．申请　applicant n．申请人　apply to sb.for sth.向某人申请……apply oneself to致力于

　　4．regardless of不管；不顾　in spite of尽管　despite尽管

　　5．I grew my own veggies and fruit，which lasted 3 years，until I was advised by my doctor that my feet couldn’t take any more “tools” driven through them.句中which引导非限制性定语从句，其先行词为前边的主句，until引导时间状语从句，在该从句中包含一个由that引导的宾语从句，过去分词短语driven through them作后置定语，修饰tools。

　　提高完形填空解题能力“八字诀”

　　1．不断积累，夯实基础

　　要系统复习词汇、短语搭配、习惯用法及一些重要句型。在复习词汇时要注意词汇在不同语境中的多重含义。对于重要的语法项目，如定语从句、名词性从句、状语从句、倒装句、情态动词等，要分段归纳，把零星的、分散的知识加以总结概括，并且要做这部分的练习题加以巩固，以做到概念清楚，运用灵活。扎实的基础知识是做好完形填空的根本。像本节完形填空中的第8空Many of them were __8__ inventors than scientists.它考查的就是固定搭配more...than...，意为“与其说……不如说……”。

　　2. 加强训练，培养语感

　　每日最少做一篇完形文章，同时要注意选材的多样性，难度要由易到难，逐步过渡。经过一段时间的训练，就会发现自己的逻辑思维能力和观察分析能力有所提高，语感也相应提高了。

　　3．掌握技巧，避免急躁

　　熟练的技巧和良好的阅读习惯是做好题目的前提和保证。完形文章的阅读比较困难，有时需跳过空格，了解文意。应注意分析文章结构，领会上下文逻辑关系，不要盲目选择。阅读时要控制时间，并着眼于整体的把握，避免支离破碎的词的拼凑。切忌遇到生词就查词典，这样会影响阅读速度。另外，要保持良好的心态，不要急躁，只要坚持不懈，成绩就会在潜移默化中提高。

　　4. 整理错题，熟能生巧

　　每做完一篇完形之后，都应对所错之处进行分析，总结出错的原因，找出正确的解题思路，以逐步养成良好的解题习惯和熟练的解题技巧。
