1. 答案

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Sitting in a well-known coffee shop with my friend, we enjoyed our coffee when a man entered and sat on an empty table beside us. He called the waiter and placed his order saying, “Two cups of coffee, one of them there on the wall”. We heard this order with rather interest and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter pasted a piece of paper on the wall saying, “A Cup of Coffee”.
While we were still there, two other men entered and ordered three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the wall. They had two cups of coffee but paid for three and left. This time also, the waiter did the same. It seemed that this gesture was normal at this place. However, it was something confusing for us. Since we had nothing to do with the matter, we finished our coffee, paid the bill and left.
After a few days, we again had a chance to go to this coffee shop. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not match the standard nor the atmosphere of this coffee shop.
As he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, one cup of coffee from the wall. The waiter served coffee to this man with the respect and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin. Coffee is not a need of our society neither a necessity of life for us. The point to note is that when we take pleasure in any blessing, maybe we also need to think about those people who appreciate that specific blessing as much as we do but they cannot afford to have it.
1. Why was a coffee put on the wall?
A. To tell people coffee got ready.
B. To show the cup of coffee was best.
C. To help those in need of a coffee.
D. To bring convenience for customers.
2. We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.
A. the author was curious about the man’s words
B. the author was willing to help the man beside
C. the author decided to order a coffee on the wall
D. the author talked with the waiter for information
3. Before leaving the coffee shop, the author ________.
A. also paid a cup of coffee on the wall
B. noticed three cups of coffee on the wall
C. felt confused by the waiter and customers
D. did nothing but watch the waiter working
4. If you asked for the coffee on the wall ________.
A. the waiter would look down on you
B. the waiter would also serve you warmly
C. the waiter would feel very unimaginable
D. the waiter would tell you the coffee’s price

答案与解析
【文章大意】
本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。主语论述了学生考试焦虑症的产生原因，本文认为父母过分强调孩子的高分数，而不关注孩子在学习过程中做出的努力，会让孩子产生考试焦虑症。
1. on
考查介词。place an emphasis on ...表示“关注，把重点放在……”。
2. made
考查动词。根据空格前面的effort可以得知，此处考查make an effort表示“努力”的用法，make 和effort之间为动宾关系，故用过去分词made作后置定语。
误解分析：此题考生易误填入to make。解答此题时要先了解make an effort表示“努力”之意的用法，即make与effort之间为动宾关系，即可得知答案。
3. failure
考查名词。根据空格前面的介词of可以得知，此处需要用fail的名词形式failure“失败”作介词of的宾语。
4. difficulty
考查名词。根据空格前面的名词短语nature of the task，以及空格后面的名词atmosphere可以得知，此处需要用difficult的名词形式difficulty“困难”与前后成分并列。
5. children
考查名词。根据空格后面的students可以得知，此处表示复数意义，故用child的复数children“孩子们”。
6. worse
考查形容词。根据空格后面的语境than可以得知，此处需要用badly的比较级形式worse。
7. low
考查形容词。此处与上文的in high threat situations相对比，故用high的反义词low，即“低威胁的情况下”。
8. known
考查动词。根据空格前面的语境is可以得知，此处表示被动意义，即“人们知道考试焦虑会发展成为恶性循环”。
9. that
考查连词。根据空格前面的语境so fearful ...可以得知，此处考查so ... that ...句式表示“如此……以至于……”。
10. helpless
考查形容词。根据空格前面的系动词feel可以得知，此处需要用help的形容词helpless作表语，即“感到无助的”。
Ⅴ.短文改错

增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线(＼)划掉。
修改：在错的词下划—横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意：
1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词。
2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。
Dear Ralph,
I’m a newcomer here of a small town. I would describe myself as shy and quietly. Before my classmates, this seems always difficult for me to do things well as they do. I’m sure they will laugh to me and see me as a fool. So I feel unhappy every day.
Besides, I have few friends. I don’t know that they don’t like to talk with me. Sometimes, we talked to each other very well in class, but after class we become stranger at once. I am trying to improve the situation since it doesn’t seem to work. Can you tell me about what I should do?
答案与解析
Dear Ralph,
I’m a newcomer here of a small town. I would describe myself as shy and
from
quietly. Before my classmates, this seems always difficult for me to do things ∧
quiet
it
as
well as they do. I’m sure they will laugh to me and see me as a fool. So I feel
at
unhappy every day.
Besides, I have few friends. I don’t know that they don’t like to talk with me.
why
Sometimes, we talked to each other very well in class, but after class we become
talk
stranger at once. I am trying to improve the situation since it doesn’t seem to work.
strangers
but
Can you tell me about what I should do?
第1处：of改为from。此处表示“我”是来自一个小镇的新生。
第2处：quietly改为quiet。quiet与shy为并列的两个形容词，在句中作宾补。
第3处：this改为it。it作形式主语，代替句中的to do things ...。
第4处：在well前加as。as ... as为固定结构，表示同种程度的比较。
第5处：to改为at。laugh at为固定搭配，意为“嘲笑”。
第6处：that改为why。“我”不知道他们为什么不喜欢跟“我”说话。
第7处：talked改为talk。此处用一般现在时，与上文时态一致。
第8处：stranger改为strangers。strangers与句中的主语we一致。
第9处：since改为but。后半句表示转折意义，故用but。
第10处：去掉what前的about。该句表示让对方告诉自己应该怎么办。tell sb. about sth. 意为“向某人讲述某事”，与句意不符。

参考范文
Time management is of great importance in our daily life. There never seem to be enough hours in the day to accomplish all you need to do. Here are some tips that might be of some help to you.
Set up a plan. Make a list of your tasks and tick the most important ones, including the things you want to do.
Focus on one thing at a time, or you will lose concentration. Otherwise, it will take you longer to complete what you set out to do.
Relax. The most important thing is to remember to take time to relax. You need a break every now and then to keep working efficiently.
Don’t delay. Get your life in order now.
