W:I see.But have you spoken to the government about this?
M:We have tried,but each time they say that they haven’t got enough money.They are always using money as the excuse.It’s getting really disappointing!
W:But it’s not just an excuse,is it?They clearly don’t have enough money for everything and the storm came unexpectedly.
M:Of course we know that,but the point is that we aren’t asking for money.What we need right now is their guidance—we can provide volunteers to work on the forest.

W:Mr.Smith,we have learned a lot about your work.Now,tell us something about your after-work activities.
M:I guess it’s not quite different from anyone else’s.I’m interested in sports.I run about 3 miles every day.I particularly enjoy cross country running.I run across fields,jump over streams and so on.While I’m running I think about all sorts of things,and at the end of a run I’m sometimes surprised to find that I’ve managed to solve a problem that was on my mind.Next year I’m going to try the London Marathon.It’s a long,hard race—42 kilometers,but I very much want to do it.I worry a bit about getting old,and I’d like to prove to myself that I’m still almost as fit as I was twenty years ago.I’m interested in climbing as well as running.I’ll never become an expert climber,but I know what I’m doing in the mountains.I successfully completed a course in snow and ice climbing when I was younger,and I did a series of easy climbs in the Alps a few years ago.My wife doesn’t share my interests in the mountains.She agreed to go climbing with me once,but she found that she felt ill as soon as she got above 1,000 meters,so we decided to follow different hobbies.
W:You certainly seem to enjoy yourself by doing sports.All right,Mr.Smith.Thanks for your interesting talk.

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
My father playing the violin lights up any room.To him,it is an instrument of faith,hope and charity.My mother used to joke:“Your papa would play his violin if the world was about to blow up.”
Once Dad came about as close to that as could ever be possible.
In the early years of the 20th century,the boll weevil (棉籽象鼻虫) began destroying the cotton farms in the southern USA.
In May 1910,folks all over the nation were talking about Halley’s Comet (哈雷彗星).There were all sorts of frightening stories about it,the main one being that the world would pass through its tail,said to be millions of miles long.
Between the threats of comet and weevils,the farmers were running low on optimism.One night,they gathered at our farm to discuss what to do.Will Bowen,a local man,suggested:“Charley,how about giving us a little music?”
“I don’t think anybody want to hear me tonight,” Dad replied.
“Come on,Mr Nordyke,” one of the younger women urged.“Play for us!”
Dad had a knack (诀窍) for getting people in the mood for his music.He played church songs,and then shifted to war songs.By the time he had finished performing,people were stamping their feet,clapping their hands and yelling.
All of our neighbors went home whistling.Very few remembered to look to see whether the comet was still around.
Another evening,Will Bowen called Dad on the telephone and said:“Charley,I’m downhearted and blue.Could you play a tune or two for me down the phone?”
Dad handed the receiver to me and then set off playing the songs he had performed that night.I could hear Mr Bowen whistling and yelling.
By the time the tune was finished there were half a dozen neighbors on the line.They talked about how wonderful the music sounded over the telephone.They made numerous requests;I relayed them to Dad and he played.
Our broadcasts became regular features of community life.When the weather was bad in winter and farmers were forced to remain in the house,someone would ring us and ask Dad to play.Usually it developed into a network affair.Our phone kept ringing with requests for music until radio came into fashion.
21.Why did the author’s mother say so at the end of Paragraph 1?
A.She believed her husband had the ability to save her world.
B.She thought her husband could always get strength from his violin.
C.She was unhappy that her husband loved his violin more than her.
D.She believed music has the power to save the world.
解析:推理判断题。在第一段的最后,妈妈那句话的意思是:即便世界马上要毁灭你爸爸还是会拉他的小提琴的。再结合上文的“Tohim,itisaninstrumentoffaith,hopeandcharity”可知,作者的父亲总是能从他的小提琴中汲取能量。
答案:B
22.The underlined sentence “Once Dad came about as close to that as could ever be possible.” functions as .
A.a conclusion of the first paragraph
B.an introduction of a story
C.an example of my father’s love of music

答案:B
23.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.At first Mr Nordyke was too shy to play the violin.
B.The neighbors often dropped in to hear Mr Nordyke’s music.
C.Mr Nordyke’s music entertained and encouraged friends in the community.
D.The farmers realized Halley’s Comet would not destroy the earth after listening to the music.
解析:推理判断题。文章分别提到了在邻居们面临虫灾和哈雷彗星的谣言时、在邻居心情不好时,都请父亲拉琴,从文中的“Bythetimehehadfinishedperforming,peoplewerestampingtheirfeet,clappingtheirhandsandyelling”及“IcouldhearMrBowenwhistlingandyelling”等句子可知,父亲的音乐让邻居们释怀和开心。A、B、D项文中都没有提到。

When Jane Austen (1775-1817) wrote her novels in England,she was writing about a world that most of us would not recognize.
But today Austen’s books are in greater demand than ever.In the last 10 years,five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films,while her books continue to be best-sellers.So why is Austen still popular?
Richard Jenkyns,a professor of English at Oxford University,argues that her novels still appeal to people because they focus on issues that are as relevant today as they were when she wrote them.
Her novels are about women trying to find a perfect husband,but also explore issues surrounding marriage,friendships and the family.“The stories are fairly timeless.They are about human interaction (互动) which we are all familiar with,” Jenkyns says.
The most famous book Austen wrote is PrideandPrejudice,a love story about Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy.At first these two do not get on.They eventually fall in love,but must still overcome opposition to their relationship from their families.
“All of Austen’s books are easy to read making them popular with children and adults,but they work on different levels so people can take what they need from them”,author Kate Henry says.
“You can choose to see the politics and feminism (男女平等主义) in them,but if you don’t want to take on those issues you can turn a blind eye to it,” she says.
Austen is often hailed (赞扬) as the greatest romance writer in the English language,so it is surprising she remained unmarried.“Maybe she was too much of a romantic,waiting for the perfect man,” Kate Henry says.
25.What is the point of this article?
A.To describe the impact of Jane Austen’s works.
B.To promote Jane Austen’s novels among teenagers.
C.To analyze why Jane Austen’s novels have such a lasting appeal.
D.To introduce how Jane Austen’s personal life influenced her novels.
解析:文章第二段提到了“SowhyisAustenstillpopular?”下文围绕这一主旨展开,详细分析了简·奥斯丁的作品受欢迎的原因,所以答案为C项。
答案:C
26.According to the author,what made Jane Austen’s works so popular?
a.Her books are easy to read and understand.
b.Most of them have a happy ending.
c.People can still relate to them today.
d.They are mostly about romantic love and family life.
e.They tell how females can succeed in a male-dominated society.
A.a,b,c
B.a,c,d
C.c,d,e
D.b,c,e
解析:第六段的“AllofAusten’sbooksareeasytoreadmakingthempopularwithchildrenandadults”说明a正确;从第三段可知简·奥斯丁作品里的话题和今天的生活仍然相关,c正确;第四段的“Hernovelsareaboutwomentryingtofindaperfecthusband,butalsoexploreissuessurroundingmarriage,friendshipsandthefamily”说明d正确,故选B项。
答案:B
27.What does Kate Henry mean in the second-to-last paragraph?
A.You cannot miss the politics and feminism in Austen’s books.
B.You can take whatever you want from Jane Austen’s books and focus on what interests you.
C.Some readers find the political and feminist elements in Austen’s work too difficult to follow.
D.Some readers find the political and feminist elements in Austen’s work old fashioned.
解析:在倒数第二段中KateHenry说,你能选择阅读其中关于政治和男女平等的话题,但是如果你不想看这些内容,你也可以跳过不看。再联系上文,这里她的言下之意是,你还有别的很多内容可以看,总能找到你喜欢的。
答案:B
28.What’s the attitude of the writer towards Jane Austen and her novels?
A.Objective. B.Negative.
C.Appreciative. D.Subjective.
解析:作者态度题。作者在文中用事实和其他著名作者的评论证明了简·奥斯丁小说的永恒性,同时也表达了作者自己对简·奥斯丁及她的小说的欣赏。
答案:C
C
The metro system in London,widely known as the Tube,is the world’s oldest underground railway.However,it is more than just a transport system.
It is not unusual to see people reading thick books on the tube,crowded at the door during rush hour.But there is another way Londoners enjoy literature on the underground,as poems are scattered around randomly.
The project of the poems has been running since 1986 and poems appear three times a year,six at a time.Two of the poems are always written by living poets.American writer Judith Chernaik,editor and founder of Poems on the Underground,said that most of them are chosen randomly,either from great poets or from unknown enthusiasts of English poetry.
Conceived (构思) by Chernaik,these poems aim to bring poetry to passengers,and show a wide range of styles.They are classical or contemporary,domestic or international.
Love or hate poetry,this project “has proved to be an excellent way of introducing poetry,with passengers often wanting to read more,”according to the government organization Transport for London.“This has led to the publication of a series of ”Poems on the Underground “books,which is now in its 11th edition.”
This new edition contains poems that have been displayed in carriages over the years.The poems are classified into sections such as love,music,nature,war,and loss.
“Our Tube system has become quite the bastion (堡垒) of British culture,” The London Insider magazine commented.
29.The purpose of the project “Poems on the Underground” is to .
A.introduce the works of living British poets
B.provide a platform for Londoners to enjoy poetry
C.study the traditions of British poetry
D.encourage more people to write poems
解析:推理判断题。根据“Loveorhatepoetry,thisprojecthasprovedtobeanexcellentwayofintroducingpoetry...”以及“Conceived(构思)byChernaik,thesepoemsaimtobringpoetrytopassengers...”可知该项计划的目的是向公众传播诗歌文学作品。
答案:B
30.We can learn from the article that the poems that appear on the tube in London .
A.are voted by the passengers on the tube
B.mainly talk about the topics of love and war
C.have replaced the books passengers carry to read
D.have drawn interest from a lot of passengers
解析:细节理解题。根据“Loveorhatepoetry,thisprojecthasprovedtobeanexcellentwayofintroducingpoetry,withpassengersoftenwantingtoreadmore,”accordingtothegovernmentorganizationTransportforLondon.可知在地铁张贴的诗歌收到了很多乘客的青睐。
答案:D
31.The best title of this passage most probably is .
A.Poems on the Underground
B.Poems Becoming Popular with People
C.A New Edition of Poetry Book
D.Public Campaign of Reading Poems
解析:主旨归纳题。根据本文的主要内容可知,这篇文章的标题必须有两个关键词来反映主题思想,即:underground和poem,因此A项正确。
答案:A
D
TastingMorocco’sFlavor
During the Christmas holidays I usually go to Scotland.My dad loves the mountains,lakes, and nature.So every year we visit the north of Scotland.However,last year we wanted some warm weather,so we went to Morocco instead.
I must stress that traveling is not as expensive as you may think.There are many budget airlines that offer deals throughout the year,so if you book in advance going abroad is sometimes cheaper than traveling within a country.
In the lead up to the Christmas holidays,we had typical British weather.There were weeks of grey,dull skies and not one day of sun.But on our first morning in Morocco,the deep blue sky seemed endless and the sun blazed down with a light wind in the air.How refreshing it was to be awake at last.
We stayed in Marrakech,a city that excites your senses.Sights,smells,tastes and sounds filled the air.The city was alive from morning till night;there was a never-ending buzz from the street vendors and snake charmers.The alleyways that snaked out from the central square were like mazes made up of lanterns and spices(香料).The night was full of rich,fiery colors.
We traveled to many places around the city.We went to the base of the Atlas Mountains to see the cascades (瀑布),and we went to the seaside at Essaouira.Morocco is an amazing country with so much to offer in terms of landscape,culture and food.
On the subject of food,oh it was tasty!Kebabs (烤肉串),olives,oranges,breads—there are so many things for you to choose from.Morocco is famous for its mint tea too.The tea is sweet and strong with a powerful scent.We indulged (沉醉于) in such delights morning,afternoon and night.
It was my first trip to North Africa.It is very much a region of the world that draws you in.The culture is so different to that of Europe,but there are still many similarities with Asia.Morocco is an interesting fusion of traditions and values that challenge previous perceptions (认知).
32.Why did the author’s family choose to go to Morocco last year?
A.Because her dad wanted to get close to nature.
B.Because they were bored with going to Scotland.
C.Because her family wanted to go to a warm place.
D.Because they wanted to visit their relatives there.
解析:细节理解题。由第一段最后一句话“However,lastyearwewantedsomewarmweather,sowewenttoMoroccoinstead.”可知C项为正确答案。
答案:C
33.The underlined word “budget” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
A.cheap
B.convenient
C.suitable
D.regular
解析:词义猜测题。由上文“Imuststressthattravelingisnotasexpensiveasyoumaythink.”以及下文“soifyoubookinadvancegoingabroadissometimescheaperthantravelingwithinacountry”可知这里的budgetairlines指的是“廉价航空公司”,所以答案为A项。
答案:A
34.What can we conclude from the story?
A.The weather in Morocco disappointed the author.
B.The author didn’t get used to the powerful scent of Morocco’s Mint tea.
C.Moroccan culture has much more in common with Europe than Asia.
D.The trip enabled the author to better understand Morocco’s traditions and values.
解析:推理判断题。由第三段的“ButonourfirstmorninginMorocco,thedeepblueskyseemedendlessandthesunblazeddownwithalightwindintheair.Howrefreshingitwastobeawakeatlast.”可知作者到了摩洛哥之后,天气开始变好,所以A项不对;由倒数第二段“Theteaissweetandstrongwithapowerfulscent.Weindulged(沉醉于)insuchdelightsmorning,afternoonandnight.”可知B项不对;由最后一段“ThecultureissodifferenttothatofEurope,buttherearestillmanysimilaritieswithAsia.”可知C项不对;由最后一句话“Moroccoisaninterestingfusionoftraditionsandvaluesthatchallengepreviousperceptions(认知).”可知D项正确。
答案:D
35.This text is developed .
A.by describing
B.by comparing
C.by giving examples
D.by persuading
解析:文章结构题。作者先描述了英国的天气,然后描述了第一天到摩洛哥后发现摩洛哥在天气、街道景象和景色方面的特色,所以该篇文章主要是以描述为主要写作手法的。
答案:A
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
DoItYourself
“Do it yourself (DIY)” is a term used to describe building or repairing of something without the aid of experts.It came into common usage in the 1950s in reference to home improvement projects which people might choose to complete independently. 36 It promotes the ability of the ordinary person to learn to do more than what he thinks is possible.
From the late 20th century,we have given in to the convenience of being told the “right way” to do things because it is convenient. 37 We have organized shopping,organized entertainment,and even organized marriage.With the development of industrial revolution,we have had our clothes and furniture made with the help of the machine.Our food supply has left our backyards and ventured (冒险) into the factory.Things get cheaper and easier to find,but we buy as one and eat as one.
DIY culture holds a powerful belief: 38 That statement may seem like the DIY movement is quite self-centered,but there is great evidence that the opposite is true.By creating with our own minds and hands,by relying on what has come before and projecting what will be,we have become open to many possibilities. 39
People can both create to serve their own needs and find the value in what others create.In other words,we can both learn how to make what we desire ourselves and consume goods made by others. 40 But the joy of DIY culture is how we begin to find our interconnectedness,for example,our talents of swimming and skating with the talents of others in our community.
A.Almost everything in our life has been arranged in a system.
B.DIY provides us with some particular requirements and tools.
C.People can have what they want if they can learn to make it themselves.
D.We question the lifestyle based on our values and fashioned with our hands.
E.Of course the danger of DIY culture is that we try to become entirely self-confident.
F.In recent years,DIY has taken on a broader meaning that covers a wide range of skill sets.
G.We can sew our own clothes,grow vegetables,and do other activities that put us in touch with the processes of life.

41.A.latest B.richest

解析:考查形容词辨析。下一句告诉我们,这位父亲在等待更多的关于儿子的消息,担心再也见不到自己的儿子,由此可以看出,电报上只是说儿子失踪了,所以选missing,意为“失踪的”。
答案:A
45.A.calmly B.anxiously
C.quietly D.secretly
解析:考查副词辨析。收到了儿子在战场上失踪的电报,害怕再也见不到儿子,在等待更多消息时的心情应该是不安的,所以选B项。calmly“冷静地”;quietly“安静地”;secretly“秘密地”。
答案:B
46.A.fearing B.doubting
C.wondering D.expecting
解析:考查动词辨析。此处的意思是这位父亲害怕再也见不到他的儿子,第47空前有该词的名词形式复现。
答案:A
47.A.completed B.doubled
C.removed D.confirmed
解析:考查动词辨析。 由下一句可以看出,他所担心的事情真的发生了,也就是说他的儿子真的牺牲了。所以选D项,意为“(得到)证实”。complete“完成”;double“加倍”;remove“移动,开除”。
答案:D
48.A.nervous B.tired
C.lonely D.frightened
解析:考查形容词辨析。儿子去世了,父亲感到很孤独,所以选lonely,意为“孤独的”。A项的干扰性很大,但是该词意为“不安的”,和and前的upset意思上重复。
答案:C
49.A.sad B.puzzled
C.angry D.worried
解析:考查形容词。上一句中有选项的名词形式sadness复现。语境为:圣诞节的上午,敲门声唤醒了这位(因失去儿子)伤心的老人。
答案:A
50.A.farmer B.soldier
C.painter D.seller
解析:考查语境化选词。由他自我介绍中的“Iwastheonehewas 52 whenhedied.”可以看出,这位来客就是老人的儿子牺牲时救的那个人,再结合第二段的“Theyoungmanhaddiedwhilerushingafellowsoldiertoadoctor.”可以看出,他也是一位士兵。故选soldier。 53 空后也有原词复现。
答案:B
51.A.guard B.photographer
C.partner D.friend
解析:考查名词。能够舍身相救,四个选项中只有friend符合语境。
答案:D
52.A.rescuing B.carrying
C.guarding D.hiding
解析:考查动词。由第二段的最后一句话可知答案。rescue“挽救”。
答案:A
53.A.argue B.move
C.talk D.eat
解析:考查动词。由语境以及下文的told可以看出,这两个人进行了一些谈话,所以选talk。
答案:C
54.A.description B.love
C.sense D.understanding
解析:考查语境化选词。对应第一段的“apassionforartcollecting”,所以选择love。句意为:战士告诉老人,他儿子生前告诉大家他非常热爱艺术品,更不用说他的父亲了。
答案:B
55.A.artist B.businessman
C.hero D.reporter
解析:考查名词。好的艺术作品都是艺术家创作的,而战士带来的礼物是战士自己画的,所以他要表达的意思是:我知道你很喜欢艺术珍品,我虽然不是艺术家,但是我画了一幅您儿子的肖像送给您。所以选artist。
答案:A
56.A.sometimes B.never
C.often D.still
解析:考查副词。尽管这幅画画得不是多么好(也就是文章所表达的:世界上绝对不会有人认为这是一位天才画家的作品),但是却细致地勾画出了小伙子的面部特征。所以选never。
答案:B
57.A.for B.of
C.in D.on
解析:考查固定搭配。indetail为固定搭配,意为“详细地”。
答案:C
58.A.thanked B.questioned
C.welcomed D.treated
解析:考查动词。收到了别人精心准备的礼物,自然应该感谢,所以选thanked。
答案:A
59.A.down B.up
C.aside D.off
解析:考查动词短语辨析。pushaside“把……向旁边推”。语境为:老人把以前收藏的价值连城的艺术品放到了一边,而把儿子的画像挂到了最显眼的位置。其他各词都能和push搭配,但不符合语境。
答案:C
60.A.treasure B.gift
C.souvenir D.package
解析:考查语境化选词。这里指的就是老人收到的礼物,也就是战士送的画像,所以选gift。
答案:B

参考范文:
Dear Alice,
I have received your letter saying that you are anxious about the coming exam.
In my opinion,it’s important for you to have a right attitude towards exams.They are only a means of checking how you are getting along with your studies,so there is no need to worry too much about the results.You should study hard every day and make good preparations for exams.In this way you can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams.
Besides,you’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercise so that you can keep yourself relaxed and then concentrate yourself on exams.What’s more,having enough sleep can make you energetic and enable you to perform well in an exam.
I wish you success in the exam.
Yours,
Li Hua
