M：Thanks.
Text 10
M：You have probably seen sports cars racing on TV or at the movies. But have you ever seen a drag race？Drag racing started in the United States in 1953. The first drag tracks were built by those who were worried about teenagers who were racing their cars on public streets. A track is a straight course about 1,200 feet long. The track has to be straight because the cars go so fast that they can't possibly take a corner. Each race lasts only about seven seconds！The cars used in drag racing don't have much in common with other racing cars. In the front is something that looks like a bicycle wheel. Huge, fat tyres are at the back. A powerful engine is usually in front of the driver. During a race there is sometimes so much smoke from the engines that it's hard to see the racers. The fans say the best races are those where the cars go so fast that they can't see them at all！There are professional drag races now. A good drag racer can earn as much as $650,000 a year.
第二部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
第一节 单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
21．________ to pass the 2010 college entrance examination made our whole family unhappy.
A．My son failed B．My son's failing
C．My son failing
D．My son having failed
答案与解析：B 考查动名词的复合结构作主语的用法。句意：我儿子未能通过2010年大学入学考试，这使得我们全家人不愉快。根据句意和选项可知这里应该用动名词的复合结构，即“名词所有格(或形容词性物主代词)＋动名词”，故选B项。
22．When I was twenty, I had to drop out before graduation and work in a clothes shop to help ________ my family.
A．supply
B．support
C．suppose
D．stop
答案与解析：B 句意：20岁的时候，我不得不在毕业前退学到一家服装店工作来帮助家里维持生计。support“养活；支持；扶持”；supply“供应”；suppose“假定”；stop“停止”。
23．It is said that Chen Shuibian is ________ to flee from Taiwan because of the campaign against him.
A．possible
B．perhaps
C．probable
D．likely
答案与解析：D likely的主语可以是人，也可以是物，可用于sb. be likely to do sth.结构。possible和probable不以人作主语；perhaps是副词。
24．He feels relaxed and even begins to whistle because ________ of the distance ________ covered.
A．three fifth; were
B．three fifth; was
C．three fifths; have been
D．three fifths; has been
答案与解析：D 考查分数表达与主谓一致。three fifths表示“五分之三”；“分数、百分数＋of＋名词”作主语时，谓语动词与of后的名词保持数的一致，此处of后的名词distance是不可数名词，谓语动词应用单数，因此选D项。
25．________ in a famous university is what most students wish for.
A．To educate
B．Educated
C．Being educated
D．Educating
答案与解析：C 考查动名词作主语。该结构的逻辑主语为后面的most students, 所以应用被动语态，排除A、D两项；过去分词不能作主语，排除B项。
26．There are certain ________ when you must interrupt people who are in the middle of doing something.
A．conditions
B．situations
C．occasions
D．environment
答案与解析：C 句意：有些时候，你必须在别人正在做事情的时候打断他们。occasion“场合；机会”，符合题意。condition“情况，条件”；situation“位置；形势”；environment“环境；外界”。
27．The number of people in the world ________ about 6 billion and large quantities of waste ________ each year.
A．totals; has been produced
B．totals; is produced
C．totals; are produced
D．total; are being produced
答案与解析：C 考查主谓一致。当主语为the number of＋复数名词时，谓语动词用单数形式，所以先排除D项。而quantities of之后无论跟可数名词还是不可数名词，谓语动词一律用复数形式，所以排除A、B两项。从each year可看出用一般现在时，所以选C项。
28．If you buy our goods, our company will ________ the goods to your door.
A．deliver
B．pass
C．show
D．work
答案与解析：A 句意：如果您购买我们的商品，我们公司将送货上门。deliver“递送”，符合题意。pass“传递”；show“显示”；work“工作”。
29．My good friend Rose went to the party with her husband, ________ a happy evening of wine, food and song.
A．expecting
B．to expect
C．expected
D．having expected
答案与解析：A 考查非谓语动词作状语的用法。由“去”和“期盼”两个动作之间无连接词出现可知，此处应用非谓语动词，又因为两个动作同时发生，所以要用现在分词作伴随状语。
30．________ the working efficiency, the boss allows the employees to have a coffee break.
A．Improving
B．To improve
C．Having improved
D．Improved
答案与解析：B 句意：为了提高工作效率，老板允许员工们休息一下喝杯咖啡。to do不定式表示目的。
31．If we expect ________ much cleaner world, we should attract ________ world's attention to protect the world.
A．a; a
B．a; /
C．a; the
D．the; /
答案与解析：C 句意：如果我们期盼一个更加清洁的世界，我们需要得到世界对于保护地球的关注。第一空泛指一个更加清洁的世界，故用不定冠词a; world为专有名词，其前需加定冠词the。
32．It's not surprising that Mr. Johnson suddenly fell ill dying. ________ he is already at the age of eighty.
A．Above all
B．In all
C．At all
D．After all
答案与解析：D after all常用于句首或句中，起加强语气的作用，常译为“毕竟；终究”，有时还可译为“别忘了，应该记住”。above all“首先”；in all“总共”；at all“丝毫，根本”。
33．The stadium ________ by workers now will be finished by the end of 2017.
A．to build
B．built
C．to be built
D．being built
答案与解析：D 句意：现在正在建的那个体育场将于2017年底完工。根据句意判断此体育场现在正在建造，同时built与stadium为动宾关系，故用现在分词短语的被动式作定语。
34．My father ________ my brother for driving but he wanted to pick ________ the knowledge of the computer during his spare time.
A．advised; up
B．persuaded; out
C．intended; up
D．managed; out
答案与解析：C 句意：父亲打算让哥哥学驾驶，但是他想在业余时间学点电脑知识。intend sb. for doing sth.“打算让某人做某事”；pick up“学会”，均为固定搭配。

—________—you'll have to wait and see.
A．I think so
B．I'll tell you what
C．I wouldn't say no
D．I'm
not telling you
答案与解析：D 句意：——妈妈，你会给我什么生日礼物呢？——我不会告诉你的，到时候你自己看。D项意为“我不会告诉你”。A项意为“我想如此”，不符合句意。B、C两项与句意相矛盾。

答案与解析：
36．A 考查对上下文语境的理解。因为是交通高峰期，她急于赶火车，于是向司机建议了一条能最快到达目的地的路。in a hurry to do sth.“急于做某事”。
37．D 考查对下文语境的理解。此题易误选A项，但从下文来看，此处并未选定走哪条路，只是建议而已。
38．B 考查对上下文语境的理解。从司机所说的话来判断，他一定是“很生气”的。下文中的annoyed一词也是暗示。
39．C 女商人试图向司机解释，她并不是想要惹司机生气的，因此本题选meant。
40．D 结合上下文语境可知，司机不断大喊大叫。
41．A 考查形容词辨析。她意识到他恼怒得已经不讲道理了。reasonable“讲道理的，有理性的”符合语境。thoughtful“沉思的，思考的”；normal“正常的，平常的”；practical“实际的，实践的，实用的”。
42．B 考查词组搭配。change one's mind“改变主意/想法”。女商人见此情景，她改变了想法。
43．B 考查形容词辨析。女商人对司机说自己似乎犯错误了，居然认为司机不是对城市道路最熟悉的人。可知答案为B项，stupid语气太重。
44．C 考查介词辨析。through“从……的一端到另一端，穿过，贯穿”，符合题意。
45．A 考查对上下文语境的理解。对女商人的突然转变，司机自然是感到“惊奇”的，他不再跟她争论，居然开车送她了。
46．A 坐在出租车上的自然应是rider“乘客”。
47．A 考查句型。直到女商人下车付车费，司机一句话也没有再讲。本句考查了句型：not...until...“直到……才……”。
48．D 考查词组搭配。be faced with“面临”。此处意为：当你发现自己面对像这位出租车司机那样的人时……。
49．C 考查动词短语辨析。结合下文内容可知，此处意为：当你遇上像上面那位出租车司机那样的人时，你常常试图坚持己见，但是这样只能引起更多的争执，由此可知应选C项，stick to“遵守，坚持”。
50．B 考查动词辨析。此处指固执己见的后果之一是破坏婚姻。destroy指“毁坏，毁灭，破坏”。
51．D 易误选C。but强调的是but后面的内容，但本句强调的是one simple method，固可将其排除。而选though则可，指我发现一种简单的方法，虽然不是特别容易做到，但能阻止导致危机。
52．B 考查词组搭配。result in“引起，导致，以……为结局”，符合题意。
53．C 考查名词辨析。此处意为：关键是要站在别人的立场上。key“关键”，符合题意。
54．D 考查名词辨析。truth指“真理，正确的因素”。此处意为：关键是要换位思考，要承认对方话语中的某些合理成分。
55．A 考查动词辨析。先设法认可对方(的意见)，你可能会得到意想不到的结果。
第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Long ago, near the village of Hedley, there lived a strange and playful trickster (骗子), known as the Hedley Kow. Sometimes it looked like an ordinary object. Sometimes it looked like a donkey or a goat.
One evening, as an old woman went along the path, she saw an old iron pot lying in the ditch. “Fancy that，” she said. “Nobody seems to want this old pot. I will take it home and plant pretty flowers in it.”
When she tried to lift it, she saw that it was full of gold pieces. “Well, now, if that doesn't beat all，” she said. “I'm rich! I can buy a fine house and fancy clothes.”
The pot was heavy, so she tied her shawl around it and began to drag it home. After a while, she stopped to rest. When she looked in the pot, she was amazed to see that it was full of silver pieces!
“Oh, my God！” she said. “Aren't I the lucky one! If it were gold, thieves would have been after me. My friends might have been jealous. But I can hide these silver pieces, take out a few at a time, and live like a queen.”
On she went, pulling the pot after her. She was nearing home now. At her gate, she looked into the pot. What a surprise! The silver had changed into a lump (块) of iron. “Iron，” she said. “Well, now! No one will be jealous or want to steal this from me. I can use this iron to prop my door open and let in fresh air and sunlight. Lucky me！”
As soon as she said that, the pot began to grow and later it became a goat. Then it jumped up and ran off down the road laughing.
“Fancy that！” said the old woman. “I believe I have seen the Hedley Kow! Not many folks can say that, and that's a fact. I'll just sit up by my fire tonight thinking about how lucky I was to see it for myself. I truly must be the luckiest person in the world！”
56. Which of the following sayings can best describe this story?
A. All good things come to an end.
B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Content is better than riches.
D. All bad luck goes away.
57. What does “the Hedley Kow” stand for in the eyes of the old woman?
A. Glory.
B. Honor.
C. Misfortune.
D. Luck.
58. From this passage we can know the old woman is ______.
A. optimistic
B. pessimistic
C. strange
D. mindless
答案与解析：
56．C 推理判断题。尽管老妇人捡到的锅里的东西不断地改变，直至变成山羊溜走，但她总是非常知足，即知足常乐(Content is better than riches)。A项意为：天下没有不散的筵席；B项意为：早起的鸟有虫吃；D项意为：乌云终将过去。
57．D 词义理解题。老妇人捡到一口锅，不管锅里的东西怎样变化，每次她都很乐观，并且文中多次出现lucky一词，说明老妇人知足常乐，在她眼里，the Hedley Kow代表幸运，故选D项。
58．A 推理判断题。尽管老妇人捡到的锅里的东西一再改变，但她总是非常知足，保持乐观情绪。
B
Grammarphobia is the fear of grammar. This fear attacks almost everybody at one time or another, and it's most likely to strike during English or language arts classes. Even people who love reading and writing have been known to get feverish and insecure when they are aware of the possibility of turning in homework with grammar or spelling mistakes. Though writing may be enjoyable, being corrected is definitely not!
Grammarphobes, it's time to put your fears behind you.Grammar isn't that dreadful (可怕的). Here's why.
Let's assume you like hearing and telling stories and that you enjoy joking with friends. You probably also like emailing and instantmessaging.
Well, what do you think makes all these possible? Grammar!
Grammar is simply the art of putting words together to make sentences. Whenever you use words to express yourself, you're using grammar. You do this all the time without even thinking.
So why think about it? Because good grammar helps you convey the ideas you intend. If your words aren't right, or if they are not in the right order, the person you are talking to might get the wrong idea. This can have embarrassing results.
Grammar helps us understand each other.
It's like a manual (手册) for assembling the words in your head. You have to put your words together the right way if you want them to make sense. They can't do what you want if they aren't put together correctly.
What if everybody you know had a different manual? How would you agree on what others' words mean? People with different grammar manuals might be speaking different languages.
Communicating is similar to playing cards.
To make sense, we have to play the same game, by the same rules. What are the rules for playing the game of English? You already know most of them without having to open a book.
59. Grammarphobes refer to people who ________.
A. consider grammar to be boring
B. are worried about grammar homework
C. mind grammar too much in writing
D. are afraid of making grammar mistakes
60. The underlined word “assembling”
in Paragraph 6 may
mean ________.
A. directing
B. remembering
C. bringing together
D. looking for
61. What does playing cards have in common with communicating?
A. Both need standards.
B. Both can be interesting games.
C. Both can be learned easily.
D. Both can make sense for our life.
62. What might be the main idea of the passage?
A. Forgetting grammar when writing.
B. Grammar is not horrible.
C. Improving grammar through writing.
D. What is grammarphobia?
答案与解析：
59．D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段并结合第一段的内容可推知，grammarphobes是指害怕犯语法错误的人。
60．C 词义猜测题。根据第六段第三句话的“put your words together”可知，C项正确。
61．A 细节理解题。根据最后一段前两句话可知，交流和打牌同样都需要规则。rule和standard意义相近，即做某事的标准或规则。
62．B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文的中心内容是告诉大家，语法并不可怕。因此B项正确。
C

The
celebration
of World Laughter Day is a positive activity for world peace and is intended to build up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship through laughter. The first “World Laughter Day” gathering took place in Mumbai, India, on 11th January, 1998. 12,000 members from India and international Laughter Clubs attended it. Now there are over 5,000 Laughter Clubs worldwide on all 5 continents.
“HAPPYDEMIC” was the first World Laughter Day gathering outside India. It took place on 9th January, two years after the Mumbai gathering.
In Copenhagen, Denmark, more than 10,000 people gathered at Town Hall Square. The event went into Guinness Book of World Records.“World Laughter Day” is now organized on the first Sunday of May every year. Hundreds of people gather worldwide on that day to laugh together.
Today, many people fear widespread international terrorism. The world has never faced so much unrest before. People are at war within themselves. Laughter is a universal language, which has the ability to unite humanity without religion. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world order. The idea may sound overambitious(野心太大的), and maybe it is. But maybe it is not. It is our deep belief that laughter and only laughter can unite the world, building up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship.
Studies also say that laughter helps your body do the following:
lower blood
pressure;
lighten depression;
reduce stress; work out the heart, especially for those who are unable to perform physical exercise. So in life, when you can laugh, you should laugh loudly and with your entire body—because it's good for you.
