Ⅰ.单项填空

—You________something not very nice to me，but that’s OK.
A．have saidB．had said
C．were saying
D．did say
解析：选D。句意：——对不起，我不该对你那么粗鲁。——你的确说了一些对我来说不太入耳的话，但没关系。根据题干中“shouldn’t have been so rude”可知设空处表示过去的事情，故用过去时，排除A项；但设空处并不表示“过去的过去”，故排除B项；C项表示当时并未完成，不符合句意，也被排除。D项中的did表示强调。
2．(2012·高考四川卷)I got close enough to hear them speaking Chinese，and I said “Ni Hao”， just as I ________ do in China.
A．must
B．might
C．can
D．should
解析：选B。考查情态动词。句意：我靠得足够近去听他们说汉语，并且我说“你好”，正如我在中国可能会那样做一样。由语境可知此处指不太肯定的推测，故选B项。must表肯定的推测；can表推测时通常用在否定句和疑问句中；should一般指按常理来推测。
3．The watch is ________ to her because it is the only thing that her mother，who is gone，left.
A．mysterious
B．positive

A．very；visiting
B．well；a visit
C．quite；being visited
D．very much；visiting

7．Though I hadn’t seen Jones for five years or so，I ______ her voice as soon as I picked up my phone.
A．recognized
B．knew
C．realized
D．discovered
解析：选A。know表示“知道”；realize表示“意识到”；discover表示“发现”，都不符合句意。
8．—How long has Jane ________ Harry?
—I don’t know and I even didn’t know they had ________.
A．been married to；got married
B．married to；married to
C．married；married
D．been married with；married
解析：选A。第一空表示状态，因与how long搭配，所以第一空应填been married to；而第二空则表示动作，当marry无宾语时，通常用系表结构be/get married。
9．—What time would you like me to ________ this evening for the concert?
—I think 6∶30 will be OK.
A．pick up you
B．call you for
C．call on you
D．call for you
解析：选D。pick up用车接(某人/某物)，但up是副词，代词应插入到pick与up之间；call on sb.拜访某人，显然意思不对；call for sb.接某人，for为介词，故不选B。
10．(2012·高考天津卷)—You have to believe in yourself. No one else will, if you don’t.
—________. Confidence is really important.
A．It’s not my cup of tea
B．That’s not the point
C．I don’t think so
D．I couldn’t agree more
解析：选D。考查情景交际。句意：——你必须相信自己。如果你都不相信自己，没有人会相信你的。——我非常同意。自信真的很重要。通过Confidence is really important.可知第二个说话人同意对方的观点。故D项I
couldn’t agree more“我非常同意”符合句意。A项“这不是我所喜欢的(人或东西)”；B项“那不是重点”；C项“我不这样认为”，均不符合句意。注意把握couldn’t这样的否定式与比较级连用时表示最高级(肯定语意)概念的用法。
11．(2011·高考上海春招卷)Some young people these days just________go out of their homes to contact the real world.
A．mustn’t
B．won’t
C．mightn’t
D．shouldn’t

12．—I have to face ________ a bad result.
—Sorry，I didn’t realize the situation would be ______ bad.
A．that；such
B．such；such
C．such；that
D．that；that

13．(2012·成都五校联盟三模)—Can we fix a time for the party?
—We can’t have the party________none of us have any classes.
A．except
B．except for
C．except when
D．except that
解析：选C。句意：——我们能定下聚会的时间吗？——我们必须要定在我们都没有课的时间聚会。except for后加名词、代词，不能直接加句子，故被排除；except后可加that引导的宾语从句，也可加when引导的时间状语从句，但不能省略that或when，故排除A项；根据句意可知设空处应为表时间的连词，故答案为C项。
14．(2012·高考四川卷)New technologies have made ________ possible to turn out new products faster and at a lower cost.
A．that
B．this
C．one
D．it
解析：选D。考查it作形式宾语。句意：新技术已经使得以更快的速度且更低的价格生产新产品成为可能。在句式make it possible to do sth.中，it为形式宾语，真正的宾语为to do sth.， possible作宾补。
15．—Where is Frank?
—He is ________ his planting done in the garden before the rain comes.
A．taking
B．hoping
C．getting
D．giving
解析：选C。考查动词用法。get sth.done使得某事被做。四个词中只有get可以跟过去分词作宾补。
Ⅱ.完形填空

【语篇解读】 本篇为记叙文。作者讲述了自己初到芝加哥人生地不熟而得到别人帮助的一次愉快的经历。一次去医院看病，乘车乘反了方向，一位好心的陌生人主动帮助自己，用车把自己送到医院，并且鼓励作者不要失去信念，一切皆有可能。
1．A.physical
B．traveling
C．social
D．housing
解析：选A。根据接下来的had to go to hospital for a __37__examination可知，是身体出现了问题。a physical problem身体健康问题；a traveling problem出行遇到的问题；a social problem社会问题；a housing problem住房问题。A符合语境。
2．A.scientific
B．final
C．previous
D．thorough
解析：选D。a scientific examination科学检查；a final examination最终检查，复查；a previous examination先期检查，预查；a thorough examination彻底检查，全面检查。作者去医院是进行“彻底检查”，故选D。
3．A.chance
B．challenge
C．success
D．error
解析：选B。chance机会；challenge挑战；success成功；error错误，过失。根据语境可知，作者初到一个陌生的城市，人生地不熟，显然这对于作者来说，是个“挑战”，而不是“机会”“成功”或“错误”。而现在身体又出现了问题，等待作者的挑战更大。文意：这(指初到芝加哥人生地不熟)相比我即将面临的挑战(指身体出了问题)来说，只是个小挑战。
4．A.wrong
B．easy
C．fast
D．ahead
解析：选A。根据but表示的转折关系以及接下来讲述的故事可知，情况开始“恶化、变得糟糕”，不再是个小挑战。go wrong恶化，变得糟糕；go easy变得容易起来，从容不迫；go fast去得快；go ahead前进，前行；干吧；开始做；发生。
5．A.leaving
B．visiting
C．knowing
D．appreciating
解析：选C。根据接下来讲述的故事，作者乘车去医院乘错了方向，说明作者对新到的这个城市不熟悉，故选C。leaving离开；visiting参观；knowing了解；appreciating欣赏。句意：由于作者没有车，对这个城市也不熟悉，所以只能靠乘公共汽车往返于A地和B地之间。
6．A.Although
B．Since
C．Unless
D．Once
解析：选A。although表示转折关系；since表示原因或时间；unless表示条件；once表示时间或条件。“I’d left myself plenty of time”与接下来的“I was going to be late”之间显然为转折关系，故选A。
7．A.strange
B．necessary
C．obvious
D．important
解析：选C。It was strange (that)．..很奇怪……；It was necessary (that)．..有必要……；It was obvious (that)．..显然……；It was important (that)．..……重要。根据语境，作者很快发现自己乘车乘错了，这样显然就不能按照预约的时间到达医院。由此可知C项符合文意。另外，其他三项填入此处时，that引导的从句应使用“(should＋)动词原形”的虚拟语气结构。
8．A.same
B．right
C．general
D．opposite
解析：选D。作者乘车乘“错”了，方向自然也“错”了。in the same direction同一方向；in the right direction正确的方向；in the general direction大致的方向；in the opposite direction相反的方向。因此只有D项可表达出方向“错”了的意思。
9．A.looked at
B．waited for
C．got off
D．ran into
解析：选C。发现自己坐错了公共汽车，而且是朝着完全相反的方向，这样作者只有早点“下车”，以便纠正错误。句意：我下车后，站在人行道上不知所措。
10．A.driver
B．friend
C．stranger
D．gentleman
解析：选C。根据下文可知，这是位女士，D可排除。作者与这个人素不相识，并非朋友，B也可排除。虽然这个人有车，自己开车，但开车不是她的职业，所以driver不合适。根据最后一段第一句中的a passer-by可知，她只是一个素不相识的“过客”。
11．A.Especially
B．Surprisingly
C．Probably
D．Normally
解析：选B。这个陌生人不是继续走她的路，而是停下来问“我”是不是需要帮助。这让作者感到很“惊讶”，因为作者刚到芝加哥时，这个城市给他的印象是so big and unfriendly(第一段的首句)。especially特别；surprisingly令人惊讶地；probably也许；normally正常地。
12．A.nervous
B．excited
C．OK
D．dangerous
解析：选C。nervous紧张的，焦虑的；excited兴奋的；OK正常的，不错的；dangerous危险的。ask sb.if he/she is OK，实际上是问别人需不需要帮助。
13．A.idea
B．motivation
C．excuse
D．situation
解析：选D。idea想法，主意；motivation动机；excuse理由，借口；situation情况，情形。陌生人停下来帮助自己，作者自然是向对方说明了自己的“情况”。
14．A.appointment
B．apartment
C．direction
D．station
解析：选A。appointment约会，预约；apartment公寓，套间；direction方向，指导；station(车)站。根据42空前后的I’d left myself plenty of time和I was going to be late可知，作者去医院检查身体是事先预约好的。
15．A.afraid
B．grateful
C． certain
D．disappointed
解析：选B。afraid害怕的；grateful感激的；certain确定的；disappointed失望的。陌生人主动帮助作者，作者自然是感到“感激”，而不是“害怕的”“确定的”或“失望的”。
16．A.Thus
B． Then
C．Perhaps
D．Surely
解析：选B。thus表示因果关系；then表示时间上的先后关系；perhaps表示可能性；surely表示肯定、必然。上下句之间为时间上的先后关系，故选B。
17．A.staring
B．laughing
C．waving
D．shouting
解析：选C。stare at sb.盯着某人看，后接动词不定式时，应省略to；laugh at sb.嘲笑某人，后接doing sth.；wave at后可接动词不定式作宾补，即wave at sb.to do sth.挥手示意某人做某事；shout at sb.对某人大声叫喊，通常带有恶意，此处为善意的帮助，故不合适。女士是在自己的车里招手叫作者上她的车。
18．A.lift
B．suggestion
C．bike
D．guidebook
解析：选A。女士是返回来让作者“搭便车”。lift此处意为“乘便车”。
19．A.results
B．news
C．kindness
D．appearance
解析：选C。女士先前给自己指了路，作者本来就感激。现在又返回来，让作者搭便车。这样的“友善”是作者没有想到的。女士的行为是“kindness善意”，而不是“results结果”“news资讯”或“appearance外表，长相”。
20．A.power
B．faith
C．touch
D．support
解析：选B。句意：“当我在医院下车转身来谢谢她时，她微笑着告诉我不要失去信念，因为一切皆有可能。”power权力，动力，势力；faith信任，信仰；touch接触，联系；support支持，支撑。根据接下来的for all things are possible可知，指的是“坚信人间有真情的信念”。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2012·云南模拟)A father’s job is unique.If parents had job descriptions，mine would read：organize bills，play dates，laundry，meals，carpool，snacks and outings.The only thing on my husband’s description would be the word “fun”written in big red letters along the top.
Our parenting styles complement each other.His style is a nonstop adventure where no one has to worry about washing their hands，or eating vegetables.I’m too busy worrying to be fun.Besides，every time I try，I am constantly outdone by my husband.
I bought my children bubble gum-flavored toothpaste，and I taught them how to brush their teeth.They thought it was neat until my husband taught them how to rinse (漱口) by spitting out water between their two front teeth like a fountain.
I tried singing fun songs as I washed behind my children’s ears during bath time.They enthusiastically sang and clapped until their father came in and taught them how to catapult (弹射) the soap into the sink with the washcloth.
I took the children for a nature walk to corral (把……赶入……) a slow ladybug (瓢虫) into my son’s insect cage.I was “cool”until their father came home，spent two minutes in the backyard，and captured a beetle the size of a Chihuahua (吉娃娃，一种产于墨西哥的狗)．
I try to tell myself I am a good parent even if my husband does things I can’t do.I can make sure my children are safe.But I can’t wire the VCR so my children can’t watch their favourite video.
I can carry my children in my arms when they are tired and kiss them good night.But I can’t flip them upside down so they can walk on the ceiling or prop them on my shoulders so they can see the moths flying inside the light fixture.
I can take them to doctor appointments，but I’ll never go into the wilderness to fish.I’ll even sit in the first row of every Little League game，but I’ll never teach my children how to hit a home run or slide into first base.
I can do a lot of things for my children，but no matter how hard I try，I can never be their father.
1．What’s the job of the mother in the passage?
A．Looking after children，going shopping and doing housework.
B．Going shopping and sending her children to school.
C．Playing with her children and going to school with them.
D．Working in the office and taking care of her children and husband.
解析：选A。细节理解题。从第一段第二句“我的任务就是：管理账单、陪孩子玩、洗衣、烧饭、与人商量合伙用车接送孩子上学、做甜点和带孩子们去郊游”可知A项正确。
2．The father will do the following EXCEPT ________ according to the passage.
A．going wild to fish with the children
B．making appointments with doctors
C．flipping the children upside down
D．teaching the children how to hit a home run
解析：选B。由倒数第二段可知，跟医生预约是母亲(作者)的职责，因此B项当选。
3．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Mothers have a unique job
B．Children are very important
C．Fathers have a unique job
D．Parents have gentle children
解析：选C。主旨大意题。文章开头就说父亲的职责是独特的，再结合下文可知父亲的职责母亲是代替不了的，文章最后一段再次点明了中心。故选C项。
