A．five times the size of
B．five times the size as large as
C．five times larger

7．After winning the 110-hurdle race in the Guangdong Asian Games，Liu Xiang walked around the stadium，________his hands to his fans.
A．waving
B．was waving
C．waved
D．to wave
解析：选A。考查非谓语动词的用法。句意：在广东亚运会110米跨栏获胜后，刘翔绕体育场一周，向他的粉丝们挥手致意。waving 在句中为现在分词，作伴随状语。
8．They hope to set up a country where different races with ________ cultures are able to live in harmony with each other.
A．entire
B．logical
C．ancient
D．diverse
解析：选D。句意：他们希望建立这样一个国家，在这个国家，文化背景不同的各民族能和谐共处。diverse不同的，各种各样的，符合题意。
9．After he retired，he settled down on an island two miles________ the west coast of Scotland and lived a peaceful life there.
A．along
B．by
C．on
D．off
解析：选D。on the coast与off the coast都有“沿岸”的意思，但前者是“在岸上”，后者表示“在(离岸边不远的)海面上”。该句中，island当然是在海上，所以用介词off。
10．(2016·安徽合肥第三次质检)Is this reason________he gave us for the delay of the project?
A．what
B．that
C．how
D．why
解析：选B。句意：这就是他给我们的项目延期的原因吗？考查定语从句的引导词。主句：Is this the reason？后面为定语从句，先行词为the reason，代入定语从句后为：He gave us the reason for the delay of the project.由此可见先行词在定语从句中作gave的宾语，故答案为B项。本题易错选D项。受思维定式的影响，看到reason就想用why。
11．(2012·高考陕西卷)Hot ________the night air was, we slept deeply because we were so tired after the long journey.
A．although
B．as
C．while
D．however
解析：选B。考查as引导的让步状语从句。句意：尽管夜晚空气燥热，我们仍然睡得很沉，因为长途旅行之后我们是那么疲乏。根据句意可知所填词表示“尽管”之意，且引导让步状语从句，由此排除D项；另外，分析句式可以看出，让步状语从句中提前了表语hot，而although，while引导的让步状语从句不倒装，故排除A，C两项；as引导的让步状语从句必须倒装，即将作表语的形容词或名词、修饰动词的副词或情态动词后的动词原形置于句首。
12．The pictures reminded him of his dear granny，who ________ last month，and tears rolled down his cheeks.
A．called in
B．called up
C．passed by
D．passed away
解析：选D。pass away“去世”，符合题意。句意：看到这些照片，他眼泪直流，因为他想起了上个月去世的奶奶。call in“召来，召集”；call up“号召，打电话”；pass by“经过”。
13．The boy has such a great ________ for knowledge that you never see him without a book.
A．privilege
B．appetite
C．sacrifice
D．appearance
解析：选B。have an appetite for...“渴望做……，对……饥渴”。句意：男孩对知识如饥似渴，终日手不释卷。

A．that
B．them
C．it
D．this

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
(2012·高考安徽卷)When Frida Kahlo’s paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “ a ribbon (丝带)around a bomb”. Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly，she is actually a_much_bigger_name today than she was during her time.
Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City，Kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症)at the age of seven. Her spine (脊柱)became bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Rivera’s strong influence on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.
【语篇解读】 本文为一篇记叙文。墨西哥女画家Kahlo身残志不残，在病床上学会了画画，在丈夫的影响下，其画技迅速提高，后期她不断创新，在她后来的作品中体现了自己的风格。虽然，在有生之年她的作品未能受到关注，但她最终在20世纪70年代赢得了国际声誉。
1．What does the phrase “a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most nearly mean?
A．a far better artist
B．a far more gifted artist
C．a much stronger person
D．a much more famous person
解析：选D。词义理解题。根据上句中的“had a big influence”可知，a much bigger name说的是她的影响在她死后比生前更大。故选D。A项涉及其能力，B项涉及其天赋，C项涉及其身体和意志，均不符合语境。
2．The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by ________.
A．polio
B．her bent spine
C．back injuries
D．the operations she had
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第二段可知，造成其背部疼痛的是那次校车事故(a school-bus accident)，而不是A.小儿麻痹症、B.脊柱弯曲。之后的手术是为了治疗背部的伤，而不是背部受伤的原因。由第二段第三句“...her back was broken in several places...”可知应选C。
3．Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent since the __________.
A．1930s
B．1940s
C．1950s
D．1970s
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第三段第二句的“...but her later works from the 1940s，known today as her best works，show less influence from her husband.”可知选B。
4．What is author’s attitude toward Kahlo?
A．Devotion.
B．Sympathy.
C．Worry.
D．Encouragement.
解析：选B。作者态度题。在解答此类试题时，主要关注带有观点倾向的形容词或副词。通过本文第一段中的Sadly和最后一段中的Unfortunately可以看出，作者对于Kahlo生前未能出名、其作品只是在她死后才引起关注而感到同情和遗憾，故选B。
B
(2016·沈阳四校协作体阶段测试)I was in a terrible mood.Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me.I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in.“Want to go for a ride，today，Beck？It’s a beautiful day.”
“No！Leave me alone！” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.
My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later.I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table.My mother put it where I would be sure to see it.“Dad has had an accident.Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”．
When I reached the hospital，my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive.“Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911，thank God！If he had moved Daddy，there’s no telling what might have happened.A broken rib(肋骨)might
have pierced(穿透)a lung...”
My mother may have said more，but I didn’t hear.I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words：Leave me alone.My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more.How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?
It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation.I held his hand gently，afraid of hurting him.
“Daddy...I am so sorry...”
“It’s okay，sweetheart.I’ll be okay.”
“No，” I said，“I mean about what I said to you that day.You know，that morning？”
My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly.He looked at me and said.“Sweetheart，I don’t remember anything about that day，not before，during or after the accident.I remember kissing you goodnight the night before，though.” He managed a weak smile.
My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power.They can hurt or they can heal.And we all have the power to choose our words.I intend to do that very carefully from now on.
5. The author was in a bad mood that morning because________.
A．his father had a terrible accident
B．he couldn’t drive to the mall with his friends
C．his friends hadn’t invited him to the cinema
D．his father didn’t allow him to go out with his friends
解析：选C。细节理解题。从文章第一段中的“I was in a terrible mood.Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me.”可知，我难过是因为我朋友没邀请我去看电影。由此，答案选C项。
6. Why did the author say sorry to his father in the hospital?
A．Because he didn’t go along with his father.
B．Because he was rude to his father that morning.
C．Because he failed to come earlier after the accident.
D．Because he couldn’t look after his father in the hospital.
解析：选B。推理判断题。从文章前三段可知，因为朋友没有邀请我去看电影，我对父亲发火，后来父亲遇车祸住院。再由第五段可知，我对自己原来的行为和态度感到非常内疚，所以向父亲道歉。故答案选B项。
7. The reason why the author’s father said he forgot everything about that day is that________.
A．he had a poor memory
B．he didn’t want to comfort his son
C．he just wanted to comfort his son
D．he lost his memory after the accident
解析：选C。推理判断题。从倒数第二段中的“I don’t remember anything about that day，not before，during or after the accident.I remember kissing you...”可推知，父亲说他早忘记了，是用来安慰我的，所以答案选C项。
8. What lesson did Beck learn from the matter?
A．Don’t treat your parents badly.
B．Don’t hurt others with rude words.
C．Don’t move the injured in an accident.
D．Don’t be angry with friends at small things.
