第二部分 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
My father was always a good gardener.One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled(翻耕的) soil,my hands blackened from digging in the ground.
As a child,I loved following Dad around in the garden.I remember Dad pushing the tiller(耕作机) ahead in perfectly straight lines.Dad loved growing all sorts of things:yellow and green onions,watermelons almost as big as me,rows of yellow corn,and our favorite—red tomatoes.
As I grew into a teenager,I didn’t get so excited about gardening with Dad.Instead of magical land of possibility,it had turned into some kind of prison.As Dad grew older,his love for gardening never disappeared.After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own,Dad turned to gardening like never before.Even when he was diagnosed with cancer,he still took care of his garden.
But then,the cancer,bit by bit,invaded his body.I had to do the things he used to do.What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year.The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone.Too tired to weed them,he simply let them be.
For the first few years after he died,I couldn’t even bear to look at anyone’s garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket.Three years ago,I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes.That morning,after breaking up a fair amount of soil,something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile.It was my eight-year-old son Nathan,happily playing in the freshly tilled soil.
21.Why did the author like the garden when he was a child?
A.He wanted to be a garden-crazy like his father.
B.He loved being in the garden with his father.
C.The garden was full of his favorite food.
D.The garden was just freshly tilled.
解析:细节理解题。第二段第一句“Asachild,IlovedfollowingDadaroundinthegarden.”为解题关键。
答案:B
22.When all the kids started their own families,the author’s father .
A.stopped his gardening
B.turned to other hobbies
C.devoted more to gardening
D.focused on planting tomatoes
解析:细节理解题。第三段中“Dadturnedtogardeninglikeneverbefore.”这句话的意思是“父亲以前所未有的热情投入到菜园中”,因此C项正确。
答案:C
23.What happened to the garden when the author’s father was seriously ill?
A.There was a great harvest.
B.The garden was almost deserted.
C.No plant grew in the garden at all.
D.The author’s son took charge of the garden.
解析:细节理解题。第四段最后一句话点明了父亲重病后菜园的情况:“Tootiredtoweedthem,hesimplyletthembe.”父亲太疲劳了,不能给菜园除草,只好让它自生自灭了。
答案:B
24.Why did the author start his garden with tomatoes?
A.He wanted to honor his father.
B.His son liked the fields of tomatoes.
C.He only knew how to grow tomatoes.
D.He thought tomatoes were easy to manage.
解析:推理判断题。最后一段作者提到每当看到别人家的菜园就会想起父亲,因此他决定重新侍弄菜园,寻找美好记忆。当然第二段中提到西红柿是父亲和作者的最爱,这也是重拾记忆的最佳选择。
答案:A
B

The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare,Zimbabwe’s capital city,is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles like the termite mound(白蚁堆).
Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building,which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating.The building—the country’s largest commercial and shopping mall—uses less than 10% of the energy of a traditional building of its size.The Eastgate’s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didn’t have to be imported.
The mall is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady,glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air.Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium,blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口).As it rises and warms,it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.
During summer’s cool nights,big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors.By day,smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building to circulate(流通) the air which has been in contact with the cool floors.For winter days,there are small heaters in the vents.
This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level,has cloudless skies,little dampness and rapid temperature swings(摆幅)—days as warm as 31℃ commonly drop to 14℃ at night.“You couldn’t do this in New York,with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said.
The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures.It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23℃ and 25℃,with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November,when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night.And the air is fresh—far more so than in air-conditioned buildings,where up to 30% of the air is recycled.
28.Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a traditional building?
A.It was designed in a smaller size.
B.No air conditioners were fixed in.
C.Its heating system was less advanced.
D.It used rather different building materials.
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“TheEastgate’sownerssaved$3.5millionona$36millionbuildingbecauseanair-conditioningplantdidn’thavetobeimported.”可知答案。
答案:B
29.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A.Fresh air from outside.
B.Heat in the building.
C.Hollow space.
D.Baseboard vent.
解析:代词指代题。从it向前寻找其所指代的名词,很容易找到“freshairinfromtheatrium”,因此选择A项。
答案:A
30.Why would a building like Eastgate NOT work efficiently in New York?
A.New York has less clear skies as Harare.
B.Its dampness affects the circulation of air.
C.New York covers a larger area than Harare.
D.Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.
解析:细节理解题。文章第五段说明了该地能够建造这种建筑的地理环境条件,其中关键之处在于该地日夜温差大。而纽约是季节性温度变化,从winter和summer可以判断出来。
答案:D
31.The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate’s temperature control system .
A.allows a wide range of temperatures
B.functions well for most of the year
C.can recycle up to 30% of the air
D.works better in hot seasons
解析:推理判断题。从最后一段的说明可以看出,除了在个别时期或操作失误的情况下,该温控系统运行良好。
答案:B
D
Even in a weak job market,the old college try isn’t the answer for everyone.A briefing paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college,senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said.
“We’ve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course there’s a lot of truth to that,” Ms.Sawhill said.“On average it does pay off...But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt and then you don’t graduate,that is a very bad situation.”
One comment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career.April’s national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%,according to the Labor Department.The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadn’t attended college was 7.4%,compared with 3.9% for those with a bachelor’s degree or more education.The difference is even bigger among those aged 16-24.The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%.At the same time,recent research by Canadian economists warns that a college degree is no guarantee of promising employment.
Ms.Sawhill pointed out that among the aspects that affect the value of a college education is the field of one’s major:students in engineering or other sciences end up earning more than those who major in the arts or education.The cost of tuition and the availability of financial aid are other considerations,with public institutions generally a better financial bargain than private ones.
She suggested two ways of improving the situation:increasing vocational-technical(职业技能) training programs and taking a page from Europe’s focus on early education rather than post-secondary learning.“The European countries put a little more attention to getting people prepared in the primary grades,” she said.“Then they have a higher requirement for whoever goes to college—but once you get into college,you’re more likely to be highly subsidized(资助).”
She also is a supporter of technical training—to teach students how to be workers,such as plumbers,welders and computer programmers—because “employers are desperate” for workers with these skills.
32.People usually think that .
A.the cost of technical schooling is a problem
B.one will not succeed without a college degree
C.technical skills are most important for landing a job
D.there is an increased competition in getting into a college
解析:推理判断题。文章第三段中提到一个人们常有的看法:就业市场疲软时,方显出教育的价值。换句话说也就是没有大学学历很难成功地找到工作。
答案:B
33.What does the underlined part “taking a page from” mean?
A.hearing from
B.changing from
C.differing from
D.learning from
解析:词义猜测题。Ms.Sawhill提出两个建议。一个是发展职业教育,另一个是模仿或学习欧洲重视初等教育。因此takingapagefrom应该是“向……学习;取经”。
答案:D
34.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Public institutions charge more for education.
B.European universities are stricter with students.
C.Students with certain skills are in great demand.
D.Canadian students prefer to major in engineering.
解析:推理判断题。“...becauseemployersaredesperateforworkerswiththeseskills”(因为雇用者急需具有这些技能的工人)这段话提供了解题依据。其中C项中的ingreatdemand在词义上对应原文中的aredesperatefor。
答案:C
35.Which would be the best title for the text?
A.Is the “Go to College Message” Overdone?
B.The New Requirement of Labor Market
C.Primary Education in European Countries
D.Is Technical Training More Popular?
解析:主旨大意题。本文为议论文。第一段中提出了论点“‘wemayhaveoverdonethemessage’ oncollege”,因此A项正确。
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。
HowCanIFightLaziness?
Lazy people will never gain anything in life.However,laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
36 Many people lack sleep constantly,since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work.These people have little motivation once they arrive home.Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active.Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task.Others take a more positive approach,viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 37
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them.A television in the living room may provide entertainment,but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 38 Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy,such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.Couples and children may all have different energy levels,but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 39 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal.Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task.It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
40 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle,thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A.To fight family laziness,set an example.
B.Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C.One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D.Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E.With strong determination,you will be able to achieve your goal.
F.Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.
G.Create a reward system for yourself,just as parents do for a child.
答案:36~40 CFGAD
第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)
第一节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
When I come across a good article in reading newspapers,I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the 41 side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to 42 in good health,or 43 about how to behave and conduct oneself in society.If I cut the front article,the opposite one is likely to 44 damage,leaving out half of it or keeping the text 45 the title.Therefore,the scissors(剪刀)would 46 before they start, 47 halfway done when I find out the 48 result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both worth your 49 .You can only take up one of them;the other has to wait or be 50 up.But you know the future is unpredictable(不可预料的)—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 51 .Thus you are 52 in a difficult position and feel sad.How 53 that nice chances and intelligent ideas should gather around all at once?It may happen that your life 54 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.
In fact that is what 55 is like:we are often 56 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both pleasing like a newspaper cutting.It often happens that our attention is drawn to one thing only 57 we get into another.The 58 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind.I 59 remember a philosopher’s remarks:“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual (不经意的) 60 may not be a bad one.
41.A.front B.same
C.either D.opposite
解析:front“前面的”;same“同样的”;either“两者其中之一的”;opposite“相反的,对面的”。一张报纸只有正反两面,想剪一面的文章又担心影响另一面有用的内容。根据第44空前theoppositeoneislikelyto...的提示也可知D项正确。

答案:A

解析:根据语境可知此处表示背面的文章可能遭遇的破坏,即“文章只留下一半或者文章没有了题目”,C项符合语境。
答案:C
46.A.use B.handle
C.prepare D.stay
解析:use“使用”;handle“处理,操作”;prepare“准备”;stay“停留”。根据上文可知此处表示剪报纸时遇到的困惑,意为“因此,剪刀会在开始之前或剪到一半的时候停在那儿”,故D项正确。

参考范文:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to request a valuable chance to be one of the host families for the British students.
Located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood,our large fully-equipped apartment meets all their needs.Apart from the convenient public transportation,our own car can also take them to some nearby places of interest.With fluent English and an outgoing personality,I’m sure I will have no difficulty communicating with them.Above all,we hosted two British students last year,through which we’ve gained lots of experience.In addition,my mother’s expert cooking can guarantee them a wonderful chance of tasting delicious Chinese food.
I would greatly appreciate it if I could have the chance to host them and make friends with them.Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
