　　解析：选D。句意：一个当地官员说，在湖南湘潭市一所私立学校发生了一起踩踏事故，造成8人死亡26人受伤。空一用leaving作状语表结果；空二为“leave＋宾语＋宾补”结构；twenty-six与injure之间为动宾关系，故用过去分词作宾补，亦可理解为形容词作宾补。

　　(2016·山东省名校交流卷)When a rather dirty，poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg __1__ a few coins，do you hurry on，not __2__ what to do，or do you feel sad and hurriedly __3__ some money? What should our attitude __4__ beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It __5__ be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems __6__ not to give some money to beggars.

　　__7__，most of the world’s great religions order us to be open-hearted and __8__ what we have with those less lucky than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days，__9__ one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help，is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their __10__.

　　First，some believe that many city beggars dress up __11__ to look pitiable and actually make a good __12__ from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil(恶行)．__13__，there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer，wine or drugs. Thirdly，there is the opinion __14__ there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor，but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of __15__ and self-dependence.

　　Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be handled by the government __16__ ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and __17__ help.

　　It is hard to come to any final conclusion: there are various __18__ and we must __19__ them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations，and even if the money is wasted，that does not take away the moral goodness of the __20__.

　　5．A.must

　　B．can

　　D．might

　　解析：选A。这里考查的是情态动词表猜测的用法。本句是肯定句，所以can不合适。而根据句意，当你不知道你的下顿饭在何方的时候，那生活肯定是非常悲惨的，所以要选择确定的must，而不是might，因为might 一般都不是很确定。

　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　Words：327　难度系数：★★　建议用时：7分钟

　　A tent can be one of the more costly items on your camping equipment shopping list.It is definitely something that you need to consider carefully.

　　By seeing the tent for real you will be able to get a better impression of its size and construction in the traditional shop.However，the downside is that，unless you are experienced，you may miss out some of the details that the manufacturer’s promotional material makes clear.Cheap tents often look similar to the quality models they are mimicking (模仿)，but you can be sure that they use inferior(次的) materials and probably have lower design standards.

　　Shop staff are often campers themselves.That means they usually can give lots of advice.If a shop assistant agrees with your own conclusions，that will be great；if they try to change your decision with a clear and reasonable argument，then that will be worth considering；if they just try to bamboozle(欺骗)，or even bully，you then walk away.

　　The Internet is a wonderful tool，and so long as you know how to make the most of search engines and put in a little effort，you really have the perfect answer waiting to be found.That answer will be different for every camper as each of us has different needs.Don’t be surprised to see your favourite criticized somewhere，but if you see too much criticism，then you had better start thinking again.No problem.You won’t have spent anything yet，so think of it positively as a large expense saved.

　　Probably the best approach，if you have the time，is to research tents online and make a short list.Then try to inspect those tents at nearby shops.Then you can make a final decision on where to buy your chosen model based purely on total cost.

　　1．When you go camping what you should consider most is ________.

　　A．the shopping listB．the costly item

　　C．the tent

　　D．the equipment

　　解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第一段“A tent can be one...consider carefully.”可知答案为C。

　　2．The underlined word “downside” ( in Paragraph 2 ) means “________ ”．

　　A．disadvantage

　　B．instruction

　　C．argument

　　D．principle

　　解析：选A。词义猜测题。联系下文内容可知，该词的意思是“缺点，不足”。

　　3．It can be concluded from the third paragraph that

　　________.

　　A．shop assistants usually enjoy going camping

　　B．shop assistants usually have practical advice

　　C．you should consider your idea repeatedly

　　D．it is impolite for you to trouble shop assistants

　　解析：选B。段意归纳题。第三段主要讲帐篷店的营业员大多是野营者，所以他们大多能提供一些很实用的建议。

　　4．Which of the following would be the main idea of this passage?

　　A．It is good to buy your tent in the traditional shop.

　　B．You’d better buy a tent with the help of the Internet.

　　C．Which is better to buy a tent—online or in the shop?

　　D．Going camping is really beneficial to your health.

　　解析：选C。主旨大意题。联系全文可知，作者并没有完全肯定传统的商店，也没有说一定要在网上购买，根据最后一段的情况看，作者的意图是要求把两者结合起来。

　　Ⅰ.完形填空

　　Words：296　难度系数：★★　建议用时：15分钟

　　When middle-aged Alex quit his job and made up his mind to become a freelance (self-employed) writer，no one could tell for sure whether he would succeed or not.He found a cold storage room in a building，set up a(n)__1__ typewriter and settled down to work.

　　After a year or so，however，Alex began to __2__ himself.He found it was difficult to earn his living by __3__ what he wrote.But Alex determined to put his dream to the test—__4__ it meant living with uncertainty and fear of __5__.This is the shadowland of hope，and __6__ with a dream must learn to live there.

　　One day Alex got a call，“We need a(n) __7__，and we’re paying $ 6,000 a year.”$

　　6,000

　　was __8__ money in 1960.It would enable Alex to get a nice apartment，a used car and more.__9__，he could write on the side.__10__ the dollars were dancing in Alex’s head，something

　　__11__ his senses.He had dreamed of being a __12__—full time.“Thanks but no，” Alex said __13__，“I’m going to stick it out and write.”

　　After Alex got off the phone，he __14__ everything he had: two cans of vegetables and 18 cents.Alex put the cans and cents into a __15__ bag，saying to himself，“There’s everything you ’ve made of yourself so far.”

　　Finally his work was __16__ in 1970.Instantly he had the kind of fame and success that __17__ writers ever experienced.The shadows had turned into limelight.

　　Then one day，Alex

　　__18__ a box filled with things he had owned years before.__19__ was a paper bag with two cans and 18 cents.Suddenly he__20__ himself working in that cold storage room.It reminds Alex，and anyone with a dream，of the courage and persistence it takes to stay the course in the shadowland.

　　【解题导语】　文章通过讲述Alex在成为一名作家的过程中所经历的艰辛和苦难来向人们说明：凡是有梦想的人，在通往成功的道路上都需要有必胜的勇气和坚韧不拔的毅力。

　　1．A.expensiveB．priceless

　　C．excellent

　　D．used

　　解析：选D。结合文章中的“cold storage room”等细节可知，他当时的打印机应该是旧的，即used“旧的，用过的”。priceless无价的，极贵重的；excellent卓越的，极好的。

　　2．A.doubt

　　B．trust

　　C．regret

　　D．hate

　　解析：选A。通过下文内容可知他的写作生涯不是一帆风顺的，因此此处是他开始怀疑自己了，故用doubt。

　　3．A.buying

　　B．selling

　　C．reading

　　D．appreciating

　　解析：选B。文章一开始提到他想成为一名作家，作家要赚钱当然要通过卖自己的作品，故此处应该用selling。

　　4．A.what if

　　B．now that

　　C．even though

　　D．as if

　　解析：选C。根据上下句内容可知，尽管这意味着不确定的、担心失败的生活，但他还是决定将梦想付诸实施。此处是让步关系，因此应该用even though。

　　5．A.failure

　　B．success

　　C．loss

　　D．perspiration

　　解析：选A。由上文的怀疑自己和uncertainty可知选A。success成功；loss损失；perspiration汗水，都不符合语境。

　　B．nobody

　　C．anyone

　　D．none

　　解析：选C。根据语境这里是指每个有梦想的人都必须经历的。anyone“任何人”，符合语境。文章最后一句中“anyone with a dream...in the shadowland”有提示。

　　7．A.writer

　　B．boss

　　C．manager

　　D．assistant

　　解析：选D。根据下文的内容可知此处是招聘，下文提到在业余时间才有机会写作，因此可以排除A项；B、C两项不符合逻辑。

　　D．high

　　解析：选B。在1960年6000美元可是一大笔钱。

　　9．A.Still

　　10．A.If

　　B．Because

　　C．As

　　D．But

　　解析：选C。as表示“当……时”。此处意为“当美元在Alex的脑海中跳舞的时候”。

　　11．A.cleared

　　B．destroyed

　　C．hurt

　　D．struck

　　解析：选A。通过下文可知Alex想到了金钱以外的事情，因此此处指的是“有件事使他理清了思绪”。clear“(使)变清晰”。

　　12．A.writer

　　B．dancer

　　C．driver

　　D．assistant

　　解析：选A。根据首句Alex的梦想可知此处应该是他想成为一个全职的作家，故选A项。

　　13．A.hurriedly

　　B．slowly

　　C．firmly

　　D．hesitantly

　　解析：选C。根据下面Alex说话的内容可知，此处应该用firmly“坚定地”。其他选项不合语境。

　　14．A.pulled apart

　　B．pulled out

　　C．pulled down

　　D．pulled back

　　解析：选B。由下文可知Alex将自己所有的东西都拿了出来。pull out“拔出，拿出”符合语境。pull apart“拉开，分开”；put down“拉倒，摧毁”；pull back“撤退，向后拉”。

　　15．A.plastic

　　B．paper

　　C．cloth

　　D．metal

　　解析：选B。该题可以根据下文的提示来选择。由最后一段第二句中的paper bag可知此处Alex是将东西扔到了一个纸袋里。

　　解析：选B。Alex功成名就了，而这是极少数作家能体验到的。

　　18．A.picked

　　A man living absolutely alone in a desert or forest is free from other people，but he is not absolutely free.His freedom is limited in several ways.Firstly，by the things around him，such as wild animals or cliffs.Secondly，by his own needs: he must have sleep，water，food and shelter from extreme heat or cold.Lastly，by his own nature as a man: disease may attack him，and death will certainly come to him sooner or later.

　　On the other hand，when men become organized into very large groups and civilization develops，it is possible to get freedom from hunger，thirst，cold，heat，and many diseases，so that each person can live a happier life than he could if he were living alone；but such a society cannot work successfully unless the freedom of each human being is to some extent limited so that he is kept from hurting others.I am not free to kill others，nor to steal someone else’s property，nor to act in a way that does wrong against the moral sense of the society in which we live.I have to limit my own freedom myself so that others will not limit it too much.I agree to respect the rights of others，and in return they agree to respect mine.

　　The advantages of such an agreement are great.One can become a doctor knowing that others will grow food，make clothes and build a house for him，in return for the work he does to keep them healthy.If each man had to grow his own food，make his own clothes，build his own house and learn to be his own doctor，he would find it impossible to do any one of these jobs really well.By working together，we make it possible for society to provide us all with food，clothes，shelter and medical care，while leaving each of us with as much freedom as it can.

　　【解题导语】　世界上没有绝对与世隔绝的人。一个人不可能将所有的事情都做好，也不可能成为全才。在现实生活中，人们应该相互帮助，做到“我为人人，人人为我”。
