　　1．My sister，________ for months to find a job as a teacher, finally took a position in Wenzhou Daily.

　　A．struggling

　　B．struggled

　　C．to struggle

　　D．having struggled

　　解析　考查非谓语动词。struggle与my sister之间是主动关系，且有for months可知struggle这一动作已经存在一段时间，故应用现在分词的完成式作状语，修饰my sister。

　　答案　D

　　2．Dina，________for months to find a job as a waitress，finally took a position at a local advertising agency.

　　A．struggling　B．struggled

　　C．having struggled

　　D．to struggle

　　解析 考查非谓语动词作定语。句意：Dina，奋斗了几个月，想找个做女服务员的工作，最后在当地一家广告社谋到了一个职位。因Dina与struggle之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，且struggle发生在took之前，故用现在分词的完成时态作定语。

　　解析　考查动词词义辨析。promise答应；承诺；annoy使恼怒；使生气；bother费心；麻烦；disturb妨碍；打搅。由句意“……请不必费心，我的姐妹们已经答应来帮我了”可知应选C项。

　　答案　C

　　A．marking

　　B．to mark

　　7．It is illegal for a public official to ask people for gifts or money ______favors to them.

　　9．The meeting______tomorrow afternoon is about ______rid of pollution.

　　A．held；to get

　　B．to be held；getting

　　C．to hold；to get

　　D．being held；getting

　　解析 第一空hold与其逻辑主语the meeting之间是被动关系，因此用不定式的被动式表将来；第二空get rid of“阻止，除掉”作介词about的宾语，因此用动名词形式。句意：明天下午举行的会议是关于制止污染问题的。

　　答案 B

　　10．Progress so far has been very good，________，we are sure that the project will be completed on time.

　　A．however

　　B．otherwise

　　C．therefore

　　12．There was a______look on his face when he met with the______problem.

　　A．confusing；confusing

　　B．confused；confused

　　C．confusing；confused

　　D．confused；confusing

　　解析 本题第二个空比较简单，选confusing表示“令人困惑的(难题)”。第一个空往往也受此影响误选confusing，再加上confused多用来指人，选错的可能性就会更大。确定第一个空的关键：confusing look是令别人困惑的一种表情；而confused look是当事人内心感到困惑时流露出的表情。

　　答案 D

　　13．—The final exam is coming.Would you mind my staying up late，going over my lessons?

　　—I'd rather you________.With the light on，I can't fall asleep.

　　A．don't

　　B．didn't

　　C．won't

　　D．haven't

　　解析　“would rather＋从句”时，从句的主语与主句主语不一致时，从句中的谓语动词若表示同现在事实相反，则应用一般过去时。

　　答案　B

　　14．—Do you regret________2,000 yuan for the trip?

　　—No.I would gladly have paid________for it.

　　A．to pay；twice so much

　　B．to have paid；as much twiceC．paying；twice as much

　　D．having paid；so much twice

　　解析　由句意可知，“我”的两千元早已经付了，因此回答表示“不懊悔。我愿意付两倍的钱”。regret接动词­ing形式时，表示“后悔已经做过的事情”；as much修饰倍数时，应该把倍数放在前面。

　　答案　C

　　15．People believe that we________a special ability to learn language and that our brain________itself to the language we heard around us.

　　A．are prepared for；adjusts

　　B．are equipped for；adapts

　　C．are armed with；fits

　　D．are equipped with；adjusts

　　解析　句意：人们认为我们具备特别的语言学习能力，并且我们的大脑也适应了我们所听到的周围的语言。be prepared for和be equipped for意为“为……做好准备”，不符合句意；be armed with和be equipped with意为“用……武装好自己；具备”，符合句意。adjust(oneself)to意为“(使)适应”。

　　答案　D

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　A

　　Areas of Tokyo which had usually been packed with office workers like sushi(寿司) restaurants and noodle shops were unusually quiet. Many schools were closed. Companies allowed workers to stay home. Long queues formed at airports.

　　As Japanese authorities struggled to avoid disaster at an earthquake­battered nuclear plant 240 km to the north, parts of Tokyo resembled a ghost town. Many people stocked up on food and stayed indoors or simply left, transforming one of the world's biggest and most

　　populated cities into a shell of its usual self.

　　“Look, it's like Sunday —no cars in town，” said Kazushi Arisawa, a 62­year­old taxi driver, as he waited

　　for more than an hour outside an office tower where he usually finds customers within minutes. “I can't make

　　money today. ”

　　Radiation in Tokyo has been negligible,_ briefly touching three times the normal rate on Tuesday, smaller than a dental X­ray. On Wednesday, winds over the Fukushima (福岛) nuclear­power plant blew out to sea,

　　keeping levels close to normal. But that does little to relieve public anxiety about a 40­year­old nuclear plant with three reactors in partial meltdown (熔毁)and a

　　fourth with spent atomic fuel exposed to the atmosphere after last Friday's earthquake and tsunami.

　　“Radiation moves faster than we do，” said Steven Swanson, a 43­year­old American who moved to Tokyo in December with his Japanese wife to help with her family business.He is staying indoor but is tempted to leave.“It's scary.It's a triple threat with the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear radiation leaks.It makes you wonder what's next. ”

　　【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了日本的核辐射泄露对人们造成的影响。

　　1．The text is mainly about________.

　　A．the earthquake that happened in March

　　B．the government's effort to avoid disaster

　　C．the effects of the nuclear radiation leaks

　　2．What did Kazushi Arisawa mean?

　　A．There're usually more cars on Sundays.

　　B．He didn't care much about nuclear radiation.

　　C．He preferred to stay at home on Sundays.

　　D．He couldn't find many customers.

　　解析　细节理解题。从文章第三段的“as he waited for more than an hour outside an office tower where he usually finds customers within minutes.‘I can't make money today.’”看出答案。

　　答案　D

　　3．The underlined word “negligible”in Paragraph 4 most probably means________.

　　started to operate about fifty years ago.

　　C．It was damaged in the earthquake and tsunami.

　　D．All its four reactors are now well under control.

　　解析　推理题。从文章第四段的“a 40­year­old nuclear plant

　　with three reactors in partial meltdown (熔毁)and a

　　fourth with spent atomic fuel exposed to the atmosphere

　　after last Friday's earthquake and tsunami”看出答案。

　　答案　C

　　B

　　Research shows that childhood friendships are important indicators of future success and social adjustment.Children’s relationships with peers (同龄人) strongly influence their success in school，and children with fewer friends are more at risk of dropping out of school，becoming depressed and other problems.

　　Making and Keeping Friends Is More than Child’s Play

　　When 6­year­old Rachel returned to school on a recent Monday

　　morning，her

　　eyes immediately

　　scanned

　　the playground for her friend Abbie.“Though they were only separated by a weekend，the girls ran right into each other’s arms and hugged，”recalls Rachel’s mother Kathryn Willis of Gilbert.“It was like a scene from a movie.”

　　Most parents instinctively (本能地) know that having friends is good for their child.Experts agree that friendship is not simply child’s play，but a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life.

　　A Skill for Life

　　“Childhood friendships serve as a very important training ground

　　for

　　adulthood，”

　　says

　　Dr.Robbie

　　Adler­Tapia，psychologist with the Center for Children’s Health & Life Development at the East Valley Family Resource Center.

　　Researcher William Hartup states，“Peer relations contribute significantly to both social and cognitive

　　(认知的) development.”

　　Hartup

　　concludes

　　that

　　the

　　single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation is not school grades or classroom behavior，but rather，how well a child gets along with other children.

　　The

　　work

　　of

　　Arizona

　　State

　　University

　　professor

　　of Developmental Psychology Gary Ladd proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids，so is the lack of friends detrimental.

　　Good Friendships Don’t Just Happen

　　Experts agree that it is essential for children to establish high­quality

　　friendships.But，researchers

　　warn，these friendships don’t necessarily just happen.Often，a good friendship begins with involved parents.

　　Psychologist Dr.Lynne Kenney Markan believes kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading.

　　Bad Company

　　Many parents worry about the quality as well as the quantity of their child’s friendships.“When she was in 1st grade，her supposed ‘best friend’ began calling her names and threatening to hurt her，” says Mindy Miller.“My daughter wasn’t allowed to talk to or even look at other girls in her class.It really crushed her spirit.I told my daughter she didn’t need a ‘friend’ like that.”

　　“I’ll bend over backwards to help my son get together with a friend I think is good for him，” Adler­Tapia says.“I don’t look at it as manipulation (操纵)，just positive parental involvement.”

　　【语篇解读】　研究表明，童年时期的友谊对孩子的将来有着非常重要的意义。

　　5．The example of Rachel and Abbie is used to illustrate that________.

　　A．childhood friendship is of great significance to their growth

　　B．a positive friendship helps children solve emotional and physical problems

　　C．it is a proven fact that peer friendship is the most rewarding experience throughout life

　　D．Rachel missed her friend Abbie very much because of

　　their separation of one weekend

　　解析　细节理解题。文中六岁的Rachel与她的朋友Abbie之间的友谊例证了本部分的标题Making and Keeping Friends Is More than Child’s Play，再结合文章首句可知应选A项。

　　答案　A

　　6．The underlined word “detrimental” could be replaced by________.

　　A．aggressive B．disappointing

　　C．ridiculous D．harmful

　　解析　词义猜测题。根据文中的“The work of Arizona State University professor of Developmental Psychology Gary Ladd proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids，so is the lack of friends detrimental.”可知，“detrimental”与句中的“beneficial”相对应，因此“detrimental”与“harmful”同义。

　　答案　D

　　7．We can learn from the passage that high­quality friendship most probably results from______.

　　A．social skills and good study habits

　　B．school grades and classroom behaviors

　　C．academic success and social adaptation

　　D．positive parental involvement and social skills

　　解析　细节理解题。根据Good Friendships Don’t Just Happen中的“a good friendship begins with involved parents”与“kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading”可知，D项正确。

　　答案　D

　　8．From the last paragraph we can conclude that Dr.Robbie Adler­Tapia agrees that________.

　　A．parents should regard making friends as something that just happens

　　B．it’s wise for parents to support and encourage healthy peer relationships

　　C．parents only need to help their children to cope with difficult social situations

　　D．parents are supposed to encourage their children to make as many friends as they can

　　解析　推理判断题。根据文章的最后一句可推知，父母应该在孩子交友的问题上给予指导，避免其受到不良影响，因此选B。

　　答案　B
