　　答案与解析　

　　本文为记叙文。在复活节这一天，“我”带着儿子去教堂参加复活节晚宴。不幸的是，回家的路上儿子遭遇不测。儿子去世后，“我”决定捐赠器官。每当看到因儿子的器官而获新生的孩子，“我”就觉得这是上天的另一种馈赠。

　　1．B　根据后两句中的关键词in the morning和then可知，早晨起来首先把篮子递给儿子。A项意为“通过”；B项意为“开始”；C项意为“结束”；D项意为“使满意”。故B项正确。

　　2．A　由本段第一句“Easter was always my favorite holiday.”可知，复活节是“我”开心的节日，由此可知，在这一天她看到的是儿子高兴的表情。A项意为“高兴”；B项意为“担忧”；C项意为“冷静”；D项意为“决心”。故A项正确。

　　3．D　由后文可知，“我”儿子发生车祸去世了，所以那是在其生命中最后一次拥有和往年复活节一样的正常的美好时光。A项意为“舒适的”；B项意为“重要的”；C项意为“最喜爱的”；D项意为“正常的”。故D项正确。

　　4．C　根据此空后的“on the way home that very day”以及下一句“He was taken to the nearby hospital.”可推知，儿子在回家的路上发生了交通事故。A项意为“手术”；B项意为“事件”；C项意为“事故”；D项意为“挑战”。故C项正确。

　　5．C　由常理可知，儿子送到医院之后，当然是医生竭尽全力挽救他。故C项正确。

　　6．A　由句意可知，虽然医生尽力了，但是他仍然没有显示有任何大脑活动的迹象。故A项正确。

　　7．B　由后一句中的“... donating his organs to Gift of Life.”可知，“我”的儿子没有渡过这次难关，最终去世了。A项意为“退出，反悔”；B项意为“渡过难关”；C项意为“停下，责备”；D项意为“靠边停车”。故B项正确。

　　8．B　由句意可知，他们问“我”是否考虑把儿子的器官捐给“生命之礼”这个组织。A项意为“承认”；B项意为“考虑”；C项意为“建议”；D项意为“禁止”。故B项正确。

　　9．D　think twice about为固定短语，意为“仔细考虑”。故D项正确。

　　10．A　根据后一句中“Finally, I was able to pull it together”可知，一开始“我”无法接受这件事情，无法控制自己的情感。故A项正确。

　　11．C　由下文可知，“我”最终还是同意将儿子的器官捐赠给这个组织。A项意为“假装”；B项意为“拒绝”；C项意为“同意”；D项意为“买得起”。故C项正确。

　　12．A　由常识可知，这个组织首先得找到与她儿子器官相匹配的患者。A项意为“找到”；B项意为“计算”；C项意为“运送”；D项意为“讨论”。故A项正确。

　　13．A　根据前一句中的“... matches for my son's organs”可知A项正确。

　　14．D　根据“A phone call to the aunt of this child”可知，之后打电话给接受器官的家属证实了朋友所说的是真实的。A项意为“告知”；B项意为“决定”；C项意为“期待”；D项意为“证实”。故D项正确。

　　15．B　分析句意可知，前后句之间是转折关系。尽管“我”失去了儿子，但是却挽救了一个八岁就患病的女孩。故B项正确。

　　16．C　分析句意可知，在那之后，“我”就再也没有怀疑“我”所做出的这个决定的正确性。故C项正确。17．D　由上一题解析可知D项正确。A项意为“选择”；B项意为“想知道”；C项意为“注意”；D项意为“怀疑”。

　　18．B　根据“but since we had all figure it out ourselves”可知，这个组织从来没有违反保密协议，而是我们自己发现的。故B项正确。

　　20．D　根据最后一句“Every time I saw the girl's smiling face, it felt as if my son had never left us.”可知，“我”与这个女孩的关系变得非常亲密。故D项正确。

　　三、阅读理解

　　A

　　Given Australia's size and the fact that early settlements were far apart，Australian society is remarkably homogeneous(同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same, though many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.

　　However，there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers and country people. Almost 90 percent of the population lives in the fast­paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve pockets of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the country's youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow­moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have ridden on the sheep's back, a reference to wool being the country's main money­earner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much of Australia's relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed，with a self­decreasing sense of humor. On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies(等级制度), an attitude generally held stemming from its prisoner beginning.

　　Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians come from elsewhere. Australia's liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from war­torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.

　　The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a “blend of nations” and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.

　　本文介绍了澳大利亚的社会结构和人口组成的相关情况。

　　1．What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents” in the first paragraph?

　　A. Australians speak Standard English with no local accents.

　　B. You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents.

　　C. The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed.

　　D. There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia.

　　答案　D

　　解析　句意理解题。根据第一段前两句可知，澳大利亚不同地区的社会形态等相差不大；划线句中的sharp ear是指“灵敏的耳朵”。由此可以推知，这句话的大意是“很难听出不同地区方言的差异”。因此选D项。

　　2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.

　　B. The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.

　　C. The majority of people living in Australia come from Asia.

　　D. The pace of life is different in the city from that in the country.

　　答案　D

　　解析　是非判断题。根据第二段第二句中提到的fast­paced cities和第二段第四句中的slow­moving可知，D项与原文内容相符。

　　3．The underlined word “it” in the final paragraph refers to

　　.

　　A. community

　　B. racism

　　C. blend of nations

　　D. Southeast Asia

　　答案　C

　　解析　代词指代题。根据上下文内容，尤其根据划线词后面的a successful experiment可知，这里的it是指blend of nations，即澳大利亚作为一个多元文化的国家是很成功的。

　　4．We can infer from the passage that

　　.

　　A. there are no signs of Australia's colonial past in its modern cities

　　B. Australia's recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia

　　C. immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problems

　　D. “riding on sheep's back” resulted in slow development in rural communities

　　答案　B

　　解析　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句可知，近些年来澳大利亚的移民大多数来自东南亚地区，由此可以推知B项正确。

　　5．This passage mainly talks about Australia's

　　.

　　A. society

　　B. economy

　　C. racial problems

　　D. history

　　答案　A

　　解析　主旨大意题。通读全文可知本文介绍了澳大利亚的社会形态、城乡差异以及其移民情况，由此可知A项正确。其他选项都不全面。

　　B

　　Do you have a sore throat，a running nose and a headache? Do you keep coughing and sneezing? If you do，the chances are that you have a cold or perhaps flu—but which one? Although both colds and flu are caused by viruses，they are very different illnesses.

　　Colds, which usually last about a week, affect the nose most. They commonly cause a runny nose and sneezing. Sometimes，they cause a headache, a cough and slightly aching muscles.

　　Flu is a much more serious illness and is caused by different group of viruses. People with flu usually get all the symptoms described above. However, they also get a high fever, a dry cough and much worse aching. Fever is one of the characteristic symptoms of the flu for all ages. The symptoms also last much longer. Sometimes they don't disappear for at least two weeks.

　　Flu can be a deadly disease. The elderly, who are weaker and less healthy than most younger people, can die from flu. This is one reason why old people are advised to have a flu injection(预防针) before the start of winter when flu is most common. This injection is inexpensive and definitely worth it.

　　If you have a cold or flu, you must always deal with used tissues carefully. Don't leave dirty tissues on your desk or on the floor. Someone else has to pick these up and viruses could be passed on. And finally, remember to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze!

　　You don't want to see the small drop of liquids blown out of your nose and mouth when you sneeze，do you? Disgusting，eh? Now you can understand why it's a good idea to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze !

　　文章介绍了伤风感冒和流感的区别及预防的注意事项。

　　6．In Paragraph 4, we learn that

　　.

　　A. flu injection can cause death

　　B. most old people die from flu

　　C. flu is most common in summer

　　D. flu can kill old people easily

　　答案　D

　　解析　推理判断题。从第四段第一、二句“Flu can be a deadly disease. The elderly... can die from flu.”可知答案是D项。

　　7．Dealing with used tissues properly is important because

　　.

　　A. it helps keep your classroom dirty

　　B. people hate picking up dirty tissues

　　C. it prevents the spread of colds and flu

　　D. picking up lots of tissues is hard work

　　答案　C

　　解析　细节理解题。由最后一段前三句“If you have a cold...and viruses could be passed on.”可知C项正确。

　　8．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. Both colds and flu last the same time.

　　B. Both colds and flu can be prevented by injection.

　　C. Both colds and flu are caused by the same viruses.

　　D. Both colds and flu have an aching symptom.

　　答案　D

　　解析　是非判断题。由第二段及第三段前三句可知，只有D项是伤风感冒和流感共有的特点。

　　9．Which is probably the best title for the passage?

　　A. Cold or Flu?

　　B. The Different Symptoms of a Cold and Flu

　　C. Prevention Is Better than Cure

　　D. Cover Your Nose and Mouth When Sneezing

　　答案　A

　　解析　主旨大意题。B项说的是伤风感冒和流感的不同症状；C项说的是预防比治疗重要；D项说的是打喷嚏时应该捂住口鼻。三项均为文章具体内容，过于片面，故选A项。
