　　(60分钟81分)

　　Part A

　　一、阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2分,满分16分)

　　A

　　Genetically modified (转基因的)foods have become a focus point of agriculture throughout the news today.This has an effect on many different aspects of the agriculture world.From the seed dealer,to the farmer that buys the seed,to the workers that the farmer sells grains to,all are affected by the new technologies that are involved in this part of production agriculture.

　　Genetically modified foods have come under heavy fire lately.There are some countries that are against buying these types of foods.They are being tested for safety by the best scientific experts in Europe,the US and the rest of the world.They are not for sale until they have gone through this complete safety process.Since they are new products,and any slight problem with them could affect a whole country,these tests are very necessary.

　　These safety tests are carried out because of the new rules that were made with the Novel Foods Regulation.Begun in May of 1997,the Novel Foods Regulation set up an EU-wide pre-market system for all novel foods.A novel food is described as one that has not been eaten by EU consumers widely in the past.By setting up this program the EU hopes to keep its consumers safe from any possible side effects of any new food products.

　　There are a variety of ways in which genetic modification has helped food producers.They can improve the nutritional value or the storage conditions of the food.Today there are only two genetically modified foods that have been allowed for use—these are GM soybean and GM maize.

　　Despite any safety checks,many people are still cautious about eating genetically modified foods.By providing these people with the necessary information,we can allow them to make decisions about these foods.

　　【文章大意】如今转基因食品成为资讯关注的焦点,转基因食品对农业有着许多方面的影响。一些国家禁止销售转基因食品,因为它们的安全性还未得到证实。

　　1.C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A novel food is described as one that has not been eaten by EU consumers widely in the past.”可知,新型食品指的是还没有被欧盟成员国的消费者广泛食用的产品。

　　2.A　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They are being tested for safety...this complete safety process.”可知,在证实它们的安全性之前,转基因食品是禁止销售的。

　　3.D　细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句“Genetically modified foods have come under heavy fire lately.There are some countries that are against buying these types of foods.”可知,转基因食品最近受到了强烈的抨击,一些国家反对销售转基因食品。

　　4.B　观点态度题。根据文中最后一句“By providing these people with the necessary information,we can allow them to make decisions about these foods.”可知,作者认为有关部门应提供有关转基因食品的必要信息,让人们自己来决定是否购买转基因食品。

　　Children can make some pretty lofty(崇高的) statements and grand promises.And an 8-year-old boy who promised to get his dad his dream car was no exception,but then he actually made good on his word.

　　A Reddit user going by the username Belairboy wrote that when he was 8 years old,he told his dad he would buy him a 1957 Chevy Bel Air on his 57th birthday.

　　“He grew up poor in a family of seven children.He never thought he would be able to own his dream vehicle but would talk about it all the time,” Belairboy wrote.

　　Then the day came.

　　He tricked his father to look in the garage while the older man was trying to fix a cornhole(一种在草坪上玩的游戏) board.When the dad finally looked up from his project and his son said “Happy birthday”,all the father could say in a whimpering(呜咽) tone was “no”,as he tearfully went in for a hug.

　　“Oh my,oh my.This is real.This is real,” the father said as he climbed into the driver’s seat.“You’re kidding me.This is spotless,man.”

　　Later,Belairboy revealed that he has hung onto the car for two years to make the promise come true.

　　“We would talk about older vehicles so as to gauge how much he would enjoy it...I would show him pictures of it from the listing I found,unknown to him that it would actually be his one day,” Belairboy wrote.“He would get so excited and talk about owning something like that but that he ‘knew he never would be able to’,little did he know.”

　　1.Belairboy’s father never thought he could own a car because .

　　【文章大意】本文为记叙文,主要讲述了一个儿子兑现自己8岁时的承诺,送父亲爱车,使其热泪盈眶的故事。

　　1.B　细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知,父亲成长于一个有7个孩子的穷苦家庭。他总是谈论他梦想的汽车,却从没想过自己可以拥有它。所以家庭贫穷应该是他没想过自己可以拥有一辆汽车的原因。

　　2.B　推理判断题。根据第五、六段中父亲看到车之后的表现,结合前文父亲对车的向往可判断,父亲意外收到这样一份生日礼物,且是儿子兑现了8岁时许下的诺言,他自然是非常的兴奋和激动。

　　3.A　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“but then he actually made good on his word”可知,Belairboy兑现了他8岁时许下的诺言。结合转折连词but可判断,很少有人能兑现自己儿时的重大承诺,故选A项。

　　4.D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“A Reddit user going by the username Belairboy wrote that...”可知,这是一位昵称为“Belairboy” 的用户在美国社交资讯网站红迪网上写的一个帖子。

　　二、语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)

　　Freeflyers:modern skydivers

　　Have you experienced the 1.(thrill) sport—freeflying?Imagine falling towards the planet Earth at an awesome speed of 300 kilometers per hour.You start your fall from over four kilometers above the Earth.And you have less than one minute before you pull your parachute(降落伞)cord.You are falling 2. fast that just turning your head can send you off in a different direction.This is the wild side of a sport that has not found its limit—freeflying. 

　　Freeflying 3.(base) on the more traditional skydiving,4. of which are eye-catching.However,it is more terrifying to watch freeflyers create formations and movements.Freeflyers,5. the name suggests,enjoy the more spontaneous(即兴的)thrill of doing their own things. 

　　The wildest trip for a freeflyer is falling ‘head down’.Falling ‘head first’ requires a great deal of control,which means 6.(travel) not only fast but also 7.(steady).Even the 8.(slight) movement has a great effect on your direction. 

　　They wear the amusing jumpsuits,strange helmets and smaller parachutes.9.(actual),their parachutes are about one quarter the size of the traditional skydiver’s parachutes.It is only in the last few years 10. freeflying has gained any real public acceptance. 

　　1.thrilling。名词sport需用形容词来修饰,故填thrilling,表示“令人兴奋的”。

　　2.so。so...that...结构,意为“如此……以至于……”。

　　3.is based。be based on意为“以……为基础”,主语是单数,故填is based。句意:高空自由飞行运动是以较传统的高空跳伞为基础的。

　　4.both。此处指freeflying和skydiving两项运动,表示“两者都”用both。

　　5.as。as the name suggests为固定搭配,意为“顾名思义”。

　　6.travel(l)ing。mean doing sth.意为“意味着做某事”。句意:这意味着飞行既要快又要稳。

　　7.steadily。动词travel需用副词来修饰,且所填单词与副词fast并列,故填steadily。

　　8.slightest。句意:即使最轻微的动作对你的方向也有很大的影响。空前有the,空后是名词,故填形容词的最高级形式。

　　9.Actually。副词actually用在句首作状语,表示“事实上”。

　　10.that。强调句基本结构:it is/was+被强调部分+that+其他。此处强调的是时间状语,意为“只是在近几年,高空自由飞行才得到一些公众的认可”。

　　二、七选五阅读填空(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

　　How to communicate effectively

　　Effective communication is a must for everyone who hopes to be successful.It helps express your thoughts and improves your career prospects (前景) as well as strengthens relationships.Therefore,it’s necessary to work hard to improve your communication skills.

　　● 　1　  

　　Before you are ready to talk to a group of people,you should think about what you are going to talk about.Although a printed copy of a speech may not be always necessary,highlighting a few important issues in your mind is a must.　2　 And it reduces the possibilities of getting away from the main issues. 

　　●Choose your words.

　　Choice of words is the most important part of any communication.Simple and clear words are appropriate for the issue you are discussing.Needless to say,words that could make your audience unpleasant are best kept out of the communication.Most people tend to be careful about their language while at work.However,when they get home they often use colorful language.　3　  

　　●Body language.

　　Many people use body language by mistake and end up making a fool of themselves.Body language means keeping eye contact and using hand gestures only wherever required.　4　 This will make your talk more of a stage performance and defeat its purpose. 

　　●Listen and concentrate.

　　Communication is an exchange of ideas.Once you are done with your part,listen carefully to what other people plan to say.　5　 Get rid of all distractions(分散注意力的事物) such as a phone before you begin communication.A distraction not only disturbs your focus,but also causes your audience’s attention to wander. 

　　A.Gather your thoughts.

　　B.Prepare a copy of a speech.

　　C.Negative words may hurt your loved ones beyond your imagination.

　　D.This will help you remain focused throughout your communication.

　　E.If you are giving a speech,it is important that you focus on that activity only.

　　F.Effective communication is a gradual process and requires efforts on your part.

　　G.Remember,there is no need to speak every word with a gesture or facial expression.

　　【文章大意】本文针对如何进行有效的沟通提出了几条建议。

　　1.A　该空所填内容是本段的主题句。根据下文中的“you should think about what you are going to talk about”可知本段建议在演讲之前要做好准备,理清思路。

　　2.D　根据上文“highlighting a few important issues in your mind is a must”以及下文“And it reduces the possibilities of getting away from the main issues.”可知,空格处介绍的是提前在脑海里面勾画出演讲重点的好处,D项符合语境。

　　3.C　根据上一句“However,when they get home they often use colorful language.”可知,空格处指出上句中这种做法的弊端,C项承接上文,符合语境。

　　4.G　本段主要介绍和肢体语言相关的内容,与此主题相关的只有G项“记住,没有必要每说一句话都带有手势或面部表情”。

　　5.E　根据下文中的“Get rid of all distractions”可知,空处强调在演讲时要专注于演讲本身,E项符合语境。

　　三、短文改错(满分10分)

　　Your problem is common one among middle school students.Maybe the following advices can help you.First in all,believe in yourself.Your greatest problem is that you lack self-confidence.The first thing you must do it is to smile at your classmates.One smile speaks loud about your wish to make friends than any word.Your smile will show that you are friendly to him.Next,trying talking with a student who is as shy as you or who share the same interests with you.You can discuss your studies with a classmate,and you can also talk about your hobbies as well.Unless anyone is in trouble,you should be ready to help him or her.Once you have confidence,you can make as many friends as possibly.

　　(2015·太原五中二模)

　　1.第1句:在common前加a。此处表示“一个常见的问题”,需用不定冠词表泛指。

　　2.第2句:advices→advice。advice是不可数名词,没有复数形式。

　　3.第3句:第一个in→of。first of all为固定短语,意为“首先,第一”。

　　4.第5句:删除it。you must do是省略了关系代词的定语从句,本句主语是the first thing。故删除it。

　　5.第6句:loud→louder。根据后面的than可知此处应用比较级。

　　6.第7句:him→them。此处指代上文中的your classmates,应用them。

　　7.第8句:trying→try。此处是祈使句,需用动词原形。

　　8.第8句:share→shares。关系代词who指代a student,是单数名词,所以谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式。

　　9.第10句:Unless→If。anyone is in trouble是假设条件,应用if引导条件状语从句。

　　10.第11句:possibly→possible。as...as possible为习惯搭配,意为“尽可能……的”。
