　　第二节　语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)

　　阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。

　　Here is some knowledge about the whales.Most whales are quite active in the water.They jump high out of the water and land back16.________the water，or surf in the water.They also let their tails out of the water and beat the water’s surface，which 17.________(believe) to be a warning(警告)of danger nearby.Like all mammals，whales breathe into lungs，are warmblooded，feed18.________young with milk and they also have some hair.Whales communicate with each other19.________(use) sounds.These sounds are extremely loud and can be heard miles away.They need to breathe air by coming to the water’s surface.Whales need to sleep，like all mammals，too，20.________they cannot afford to fall into a(n)21.________(conscious) state for too long，since they need to be conscious to break the surface to breathe.Among the whales，the largest kind is the Blue Whale，and22.________is the largest living animal，up to 110 feet long and 150 tons.Unfortunately，now the whales face many challenges：such as23.________decrease in the krill (磷虾) population，24.________is the main food source for them，global warming’s effects，sea level rises and the temperature changes in the sea.Yet，they may not be able to adapt to the changes quickly enough25.________(survive)．

　　16．解析：考查介词用法。前文提到jump out of water，然后，就应是返回到水里，故用介词into。

　　答案：into

　　17．解析：考查时态和语态的用法。在非限制性定语从句中，which指前面提到的主句的内容：鲸的动作，“被认为”是一种warning，没有必要提出是具体某一个人认为，故用被动语态来表达。由于整篇文章采用一般现在时描述，故用一般现在时态。

　　答案：is believed

　　18．解析：考查人称代词的用法。指代前面所提到的whales。

　　答案：their

　　19．解析：考查分词作状语。句子中已经出现了谓语动词communicate，故这里用非谓语动词作方式状语。

　　答案：using

　　20．解析：考查连词用法。根据“they cannot afford to fall into a(n)21.________(conscious)state for too long，since they need to be conscious to break the surface to breathe”可知此处应表示转折用法。

　　答案：but

　　21．解析：考查词形变化。因为前文说到鲸也需要睡觉，就是一种“无意识”状态，后文也提到“they need to be conscious”是不睡状态，故词形变化为unconscious。

　　答案：unconscious

　　22．解析：考查代词用法。这里it指前面提到的“the Blue Whale”。由于有and表并列用法，此处应用it。

　　答案：it

　　23．解析：考查冠词用法。这里decrease是可数名词，表示“下降”。

　　答案：a

　　24．解析：考查关系代词的用法。which引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面的the krill(磷虾)population。

　　答案：which

　　25．解析：考查不定式作状语。句型：adj.(adv.)enough to do(sth.)。

　　答案：to survive

　　Ⅱ.阅读(共两节，满分50分)

　　第一节　阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　The weather was terrible that night.The summer thunderstorm had knocked out the power.Luckily，there was enough candlelight flickering on the kitchen table.With the candlelight，I could see the card I was writing to my husband’s cousins in Finland.

　　Dear Heli and Risto，

　　You are on my mind tonight because we are using the candles you gave us when you visited us two years ago.There was a horrible summer thunderstorm this evening and the power went out，and your candles were just what we needed.They have lit our dinnertime，the bedrooms and now I am sitting by one in the kitchen...

　　What I didn’t say to Heli and Risto is that we never burned the candles before because they，well，smell like a campfire.And so they stood in iron candlesticks until we needed them.

　　I’m so thankful that we had candles on hand that dark night.And I’m equally as thankful that I had a beautiful card on hand，too，or I would have let the opportunity to keep in touch with faraway family escape.It would have turned into another one of those moments when the thought of sending a card crossed my mind but never actually happened.

　　The candle burned slowly.After I finished my card to Finland，I enjoyed looking through the rest of my“Someone Cares”greeting cards.The air was fresh and cool，and I had cards and enough light to write.I found a birthday card for my nephew’s 10th birthday，a thinkingofyou card for my aunt，and a fun greeting card for an old friend and I began writing.Candles and cards—two things that make a thunderstorm into the perfect storm.

　　【解题导语】　一个停电的暴风雨夜里，作者点燃了两根别人送的蜡烛，她写了几张“有人关心”的卡片，觉得这真是一场“完美的暴风雨”。

　　26．Why did the writer light the two candles that night?

　　A．Because she thought of her husband’s cousins.

　　B．Because she wanted to add some fun to her life.

　　C．Because she wanted to enjoy another kind of lifestyle.

　　D．Because there was no electricity due to the thunderstorm.

　　解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第一段的The summer thunderstorm had knocked out the power.可知作者那晚点燃了蜡烛，是因为那晚因暴风雨袭击停电了。

　　27．By saying “smell like a campfire”，the writer wants to show________.

　　A．she often went to a campfire alone

　　B．she liked the smell of a campfire very much

　　C．she didn’t like the smell of the burning candles

　　D．she didn’t need to burn the candles in the past

　　解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第三段的．..we never burned the candles before...，可知作者从来没有用过那些蜡烛，是因为那些蜡烛闻起来像篝火，作者应该是不喜欢这个味道才不用那些蜡烛的。

　　28．In the past，when the writer wanted to send a card，________.

　　A．she often didn’t put it into practice

　　B．she often immediately wrote one

　　C．she often didn’t know what to write

　　D．she usually hesitated for a long time

　　解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第四段的．..the thought of sending a card crossed my mind but never actually happened.可知作者以前有送卡片的想法，但往往没有付诸实际行动。

　　29．Lighting the candles in the stormy night made the writer________.

　　A．know who was the most important person to her

　　B．know how to make her boring life interesting

　　C．value her relatives and friends more

　　D．believe everyone could be happy

　　解析：选C。推理判断题。作者以前只是想着要给别人寄送卡片但却没有寄，但是在这个因为暴风雨停电而需要点蜡烛的晚上，她想起了送她蜡烛的亲戚，因此写了好几张“有人关心”的卡片寄给她的亲戚朋友，她比以前更在意她的亲戚跟朋友了，故选C。

　　30．What’s the best title for this passage?

　　A．My husband’s cousins in Finland

　　B．My interest in candles

　　C．My most terrible night

　　D．The perfect storm

　　解析：选D。主旨大意题。本文主要叙述在一个雷电交加的暴风雨的夜里，作者因为亲戚送的几根蜡烛而写了好些卡片，使一个可怕的夜晚变成了一个完美的暴风雨夜晚，故选D作文章的标题最好。

　　B

　　Jenny Lind was born in Stockholm，Sweden，in 1820，the daughter of a teacher of languages.She is said to have been able to repeat a song that she had heard only once at the age of three.At ten years of age she sang children’s parts on the Stockholm stage.After turning 12 years of age，her upper notes(高音)lost their sweetness，and for four years she did not do much singing.Her love for music continued and these years were spent on the study of instrumental music and composition.

　　At the end of this period her voice got its power and purity(纯净)again and for a year and a half she was the star of the Stockholm Opera.Next，she gave a series of concerts and went to Paris for further study，but the French teacher did not appreciate her powers and Jenny returned to her native city.

　　When she was twentythree years old，Jenny went to Dresden and when Queen Victoria visited that city the following year，she sang at the festivals held in the Queen’s honor.This opened the way to astonishing success in other German cities.In 1847 she went to London and was warmly received.There she sang for the first time in concert.

　　Jenny Lind traveled to Paris to study with Manuel Garcia，a famous Spanish vocal(声乐)coach，who finally agreed to train her.Her husband，Otto Goldschmidt，was a famous German pianist who trained with Mendelssohn；they married in Boston while on tour in the U．S..

　　After her marriage，she appeared on the stage from time to time，usually at concerts given for charities.She was deeply interested in charities and we can easily add to her title (头衔)of singer that of philanthropist.Her later years were spent in London where she died in 1887.Her life and songs are a sweet memory.

　　【解题导语】　珍妮·林德三岁的时候就表现出非凡的音乐天赋，10岁时就登上了斯德哥尔摩的舞台。即使在她青春期变声期间，她仍然坚持着对音乐的喜爱和追求，最终在音乐方面取得了令人惊叹的成就。不仅如此，她还乐于慈善事业，是有名的慈善家。

　　much

　　for four years

　　because________.

　　A．she didn’t like popular music

　　B．she liked instrumental music and composition

　　C．her voice was not at its best

　　D．she was busy with her studies

　　解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第一段中的After turning 12 years of age，her upper notes lost their sweetness，and for four years she did not do much singing.可知，12岁时她的高音失去了甜美，由此可以推断出她之所以四年没有演唱是因为她的嗓音不在最佳状态。

　　32．In order to learn more about music Jenny Lind went to________.

　　A．Paris

　　B．Dresden

　　C．Boston

　　D．London

　　解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第二段中的Next，she gave a series of concerts and went to Paris for further study可知，她为了学习更多的音乐知识去了巴黎。

　　33．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE of Jenny Lind?

　　A．She became famous in Stockholm when she was 10.

　　B．Queen Victoria didn’t like her performance at all.

　　C．She got married with Mendelssohn in the U．S.A..

　　D．People are still impressed with her songs.

　　解析：选D。细节判断题。根据全文的内容，结合文章最后一段中的Her life and songs are a sweet memory可知，她的歌曲现在人们仍然记忆犹新。

　　34．The underlined word “philanthropist” in the last paragraph refers to a person who________.

　　A．gives money and help to people in need

　　B．makes a large amount of money as a singer

　　C．becomes happy by performing charities

　　D．spends much time in singing

　　解析：选A。词义猜测题。根据该词前面的She was deeply interested in charities可知，珍妮·林德不仅是歌唱家还是“慈善家”。

　　35．The passage is mainly developed by________.

　　A．cause and effect

　　B．order in space

　　C．order in time

　　D．examples

　　解析：选C。写作手法题。本文主要讲述了珍妮·林德的一生，按照时间顺序展开叙述，故C为正确答案。

　　C

　　American teenagers hear it all the time from their parents，“Are you listening to me？Turn down that music or you’ll hurt your ears.”A new study has found the parents may be right.

　　The study has found that many young people in the United States do not hear as well as they used to.One out of five American teenagers have some hearing loss.That is a 30% increase in the past fifteen years.One out of twenty teens have a large hearing loss.That is a fifty percent increase.

　　The researchers used results of hearing tests taken in the past years.They have found that boys are more likely to have hearing problems than girls.The age or race of the teens who were tested had no effect on their chances of a hearing loss.The researchers say they are not sure why some teenagers are losing their hearing.Not enough studies have been done and more are needed.Some say the causes may be found in their diet，exposure to poisons，or in their genes.Others believe that listening to loud music on MP3 players with earphones is the major cause.

　　Researchers think that some teenagers do not realize that they are listening to music at very loud levels.Researchers suggest parents stand next to their children while they are wearing earphones.If the parents can hear the music，the sound is too loud.Teenagers should set the volume control on their music players to somewhere between onehalf and twothirds the highest level，never louder.

　　Even a small hearing loss can affect a child’s social development.Communication skills and grades in school can also suffer.Doctor Eavey says，“What we’re seeing is a big jump in the prevalence(患病率)of hearing loss in a very short time，in less than one generation.”

　　【解题导语】　研究发现，美国的很多青少年听力出现了问题。

　　36．What is the main idea of this passage?

　　A．Modern technology harms people’s health.

　　B．Many American teenagers have some hearing loss.

　　解析：选B。主旨大意题。通读全文，可知文章主要是讲美国的很多青少年听力有所下降，故选B。

　　37．What do we learn from Paragraph 3?

　　A．The exact cause of hearing loss in American teenagers is still unknown.

　　B．Teenagers’hearing loss is mainly caused by listening to music on MP3 players.

　　C．Much of the food American teenagers eat today harms their hearing.

　　D．Hearing loss has something to do with someone’s race.

　　解析：选A。推理判断题。根据第三段的The researchers say they are not sure why some teenagers are losing their hearing...可知听力下降的具体原因还不知道。

　　38．Researchers suggest that parents________.

　　A．pay more attention to their children’s diets

　　B．not let their children listen to music for a long time

　　C．help their children set the volume control to the proper level

　　D．keep a close eye on what kind of music their children listen to

　　解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第四段的Researchers suggest parents stand next to their children while they are wearing earphones.可知研究人员建议父母帮助孩子控制好音量。

　　39．The last paragraph suggests that hearing loss________.

　　A．has attracted worldwide attention

　　B．will be well prevented in the future

　　C．has worried most parents in America

　　D．may not be good for one’s future development

　　People，both tourists and locals，come to the area on weekends，and during the peak season a large number of people arrive to relax and have fun.

　　A great educational activity for kids is a tour on the lake.This tour covers aquatic(水生的)life.Since it is an educational tour，it also covers important knowledge related to water.

　　We all know the story of“The tortoise and the hare”．The hare lost because he was overconfident.So slowandsteady，the tortoise won the race.But did you know the tortoise and the hare raced three more times？After his loss the hare challenged the tortoise to a second race and this time he ran without stopping from start to finish.There was no doubt that he won.The lesson this time was that fastandconsistent beats slowandsteady.Then the tortoise challenged the hare to a third race，over a slightly different route.The hare ran at top speed until he reached a broad river.Although the finishing line was just a kilometre past the river，the hare had no way of crossing and once more the slowandsteady swimming tortoise came out on top.

　　The hare and the tortoise，by this time，had become good friends.They realized they could perform better together than separately.So they decided to have one more race.But this time they would work as a team.They started off，and this time the hare carried the tortoise till the riverbank.There，the tortoise took over and swam across the river with the hare on his back.On the opposite bank，the hare again carried the tortoise and they reached the finishing line together，much more quickly than they had been able to alone.They both felt a greater sense of satisfaction than they’d felt earlier.

　　One possible version：

　　The passage describes four races between the hare and the tortoise and analyses the moral learned from each race.In the last race，they learned they could achieve greater success and satisfaction through cooperation.

　　I think the story can teach us that when we work together we can achieve more than when we compete.It is a winwin effect.The story reminds me of my experience when I first came to this school.My classmate，Michael，showed great talent in science studies while I was pretty good at history and economics.I feared that Michael would outperform me in the exams so I avoided helping him and viewed him as my competitor.It was not until Michael suggested that we work together that I understood the importance and benefit of cooperation.We shared learning methods and helped each other.As a result，we both made progress in our studies and became topten students.

　　As far as I’m concerned，it’s good to be individually brilliant，but working as a team will always beat individual performance/brilliance.
