couple”可知,該空應(yīng)填elderly(年邁的)。在這位女士摔倒之前,她并未受傷,故A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。awkward“笨拙的”;honest“誠(chéng)實(shí)的”,均不符合語(yǔ)境。 13.A.Her husband B.My son C.The crowd D.The seller 答案:A 解析:根據(jù)第三段第二句中的“the woman’s husband”可知,在出事時(shí),她的丈夫和她在一起。第16空后的“the elderly couple”也有所提示。 14.A.Specifically B.Particularly C.Interestingly D.Fortunately 答案:D 解析:根據(jù)前文的描述“地上有血,老婦人驚魂未定”可知,當(dāng)時(shí)情形十分危急。因此“很多人停下來(lái)幫忙”對(duì)老婦人來(lái)說(shuō)是幸運(yùn)的。specifically“具體/確切地說(shuō)”;particularly“特別,尤其”;interestingly“有趣的是”,均不符合語(yǔ)境。 15.A.If B.Since C.While D.Unless 答案:C 解析:句意:在我們朝現(xiàn)場(chǎng)走去的時(shí)候,Tenyson十分擔(dān)心那對(duì)老夫婦的情況。while “在……的時(shí)候”,表示時(shí)間。 16.A.guilty B.curious C.angry D.worried 答案:D 解析:由下句兒子對(duì)于在眾人面前摔倒的看法和給受傷女士買花的行為可知,兒子是“擔(dān)心”他們。 17.Aplained B.said C.lied D.responded 答案:B 解析:逗號(hào)后為兒子對(duì)“我”說(shuō)的話語(yǔ),故選B項(xiàng)。plain to sb.“向某人抱怨”;lie to sb.“對(duì)某人撒謊”;respond to sb.“給某人回復(fù)”,均不符合語(yǔ)境。 18.A.no one B.someone C.everyone D.anyone 答案:C 解析:由第一段最后一句“很多人前來(lái)幫忙”可知,這位受傷的女士是在“大家”面前摔倒的。 19.A.lend B.bring C.leave D.buy 答案:D 解析:由本段倒數(shù)第三句中的“the flower seller”可知,兒子是要給那位女士買花,故選D項(xiàng)。 20.A.amazed B.shocked C.puzzled D.concerned 答案:A 解析:由上文內(nèi)容可知,兒子僅僅五歲,有這樣的想法,作者應(yīng)是感到“驚喜”。shocked “震驚的;害怕的”;puzzled“迷惑的”;concerned“關(guān)心的,掛念的”,均不符合語(yǔ)境。 21.A.wise B.sweet C.innocent D.crazy 答案:B 解析:Tenyson為受傷的女士買花的行為是“美好的”,故選B項(xiàng)。wise“明智的”;sweet “美好的;令人愉快的”;innocent“天真的,無(wú)罪的”;crazy“瘋狂的”。 22.A.which B.when C.what D.whether 答案:C 解析:空格處在句中引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句,且充當(dāng)從句中wanted的賓語(yǔ),故排除B、D兩項(xiàng)。which表示“哪一個(gè)”,不符合句意,故選C項(xiàng)。 23.A.must not B.can’t C.may not D.needn’t 答案:B 解析:由上句“Just take it”可知,賣花人不想要“我”們的錢(qián)。由下文的“wonderful”可知,對(duì)于這樣的善舉,賣花人認(rèn)為“不能”收費(fèi)。 24.A.scene B.habit C.flower D.deed 答案:D 解析:“為傷者買花”是一種善意的行為,故選D項(xiàng)。 25.A.checking with B.looking after C.operating on

解析:由上文可知,老人對(duì)Tenyson買花的行為十分感激,因此贊美作者有一個(gè)“好”兒子。respectful“表示敬意的;尊敬的”;cheerful“快樂(lè)的”;successful“成功的”。 28.A.Out of B.Regardless of C.Thanks to D.As to 答案:B 解析:句意:不顧傷勢(shì)嚴(yán)重,老婦人抬起頭看著Tenyson,眼里滿是愛(ài)意,對(duì)他笑了笑。逗號(hào)前后為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故選B項(xiàng)。out of “出于”;thanks to“多虧”;as to“至于”。 29.A.love　　　B.hope C.pity　　　D.pain 答案:A 解析:兒子為受傷的女士買花,她眼里應(yīng)滿是“愛(ài)意”,故選A項(xiàng)。 30.A.idea B.money C.smile Dfort 答案:C 解析:由本句中的and判斷,前后感情色彩一致。由此推知,老婦人應(yīng)是對(duì)兒子笑了笑。 二、第二部分　閱讀理解(共兩節(jié),滿分50分) 31.第一節(jié)　閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分) I was a bit nervous about attending the Capital Literary Festival Beijing as I thought the group discussion for the anthology(選集)Unsavory Elements would be a bit dry and hosted by old-China hands.To my surprise,most of those attending the one-hour launch and group discussion of Unsavory Elements were foreigners.Besides,most of them were relatively young and had begun their friendship with China as teenagers. Five writers read selections from their stories,in English,while everyone gathered had a good laugh at their experiences. For Matthew Polly,author of American Shaolin,who learned kung fu at the Shaolin Temple in 1992,he has successfully maintained his kung fu skills as well as Putonghua.“When I first visited China,all my knowledge of Shaolin Temple was based on US TV shows made by Hollywood writers who had never been to China.The monks(和尚) pour you tea and say,‘Drink one’.And I say,‘No sir,you drink first’.And they will say,‘Wow!This foreigner understands politeness!’” It turned out that he was weled by the monks but had to pay the “foreigner tuition price”of $1,300 per month,which forced him to sell T-shirts to make money.“I visited the temple again in 2003,”he says.“Tourism has changed it,obviously.And there are more kung fu schools teaching foreigners,”he says,adding that people are much better off and clearly had no problem finding enough to eat,as was the case previously. “Foreign people ing to China is a timeless adventure,”Tom Carter,editor of Unsavory Elements,told me.“There are certain things that foreigners in China will always be interested in.And as we wrote in the introduction to the book,in China,the more things change,the more they stay the same.So learning kung fu at Shaolin,it’s more touristy now.But if you want to learn,you still have to hike up Songshan Mountain and find a kung fu school,just like Matthew Polly’s experience two decades ago.That is just one of the features that are still timeless in China.” 【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是記敘文。作者參加首都北京文學(xué)節(jié),原以為會(huì)議很枯燥,都會(huì)是些中國(guó)的老者參加,沒(méi)想到來(lái)的大多是外國(guó)人。他們對(duì)中國(guó)的文化頗有感觸,比如少林寺的武術(shù)等。而且少林寺的僧人以前對(duì)外國(guó)人也存在誤解。 31The author initially thought those organisers would be 　　　. A.foreign visitors B.Chinese natives C.foreign teenagers D.Chinese elderly 答案:D 解析:判斷推理題。根據(jù)首句的“I thought the group discussion...would be a bit dry and hosted by old-China hands.”即可分析,作者最初認(rèn)為參會(huì)的人會(huì)是中國(guó)的老者。 32.Most of the writers attending the group discussion 　　　. A.had settled down in China B.had visited China before C.had relatives in China D.had pitiful experiences in China 答案:B 解析:判斷推理題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“Besides,most of them were relatively young and had begun their friendship with China as teenagers.”和第二段后半句的“...while everyone gathered had a good laugh at their experiences”即可分析,他們都曾到過(guò)中國(guó)。 33.The first time Matthew Polly visited China,　　　. A.he knew nothing about China B.he got drunk at the Shaolin Temple C.the Chinese probably had a misunderstanding about foreigners D.foreigners had many privileges in China 答案:C 解析:判斷推理題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“And they will say,‘Wow!This foreigner understands politeness!’”分析推斷可知,當(dāng)時(shí)的中國(guó)人對(duì)外國(guó)人有誤解。 34.What has changed foreigners’ attitude toward China according to Matthew’s words? A.Kung fu schools. B.Tourism. C.Foreigners’ stories. D.China’s policy. 答案:B 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的“Tourism has changed it,obviously.”即可知答案。 35.B Does style really sell? How can the appearance of a product be more important than what it does?The battle between form and function rose again when James Dyson,British inventor of the Dyson vacuum(真空) cleaner that has sold in millions around the world,resigned as chairman of London’s Design Museum.It is widely believed that Mr.Dyson felt that the museum put too much stress on style and fashion at the expense of serious industrial design. Mr.Dyson accused the museum of not keeping true to itself.He may be right,but these days,museums everywhere can no longer afford to be unique centers of scholarship and learning.Among petition for sponsorship,they must use exhibitions of most popular culture,nice cafs and shops or,best of all,a new building by Frank Gehry to increase visitor numbers. On the one hand,some producers can be too old-fashioned and too concerned with the importance of product engineering and the functionality of their goods.On the other hand,there are those who believe that how a product looks is more important.Design is indeed a broad term,involving both function and form.Typically,in any given product area,it changes from the former to the latter.Clothing is a good example.But surely you would have to be a very shallow person to think something’s appearance was more important than what it did. Today nearly all goods at any given price-point do much the same job.So almost the only way producers can differentiate their products from those of their petitors is to create some sort of emotional connection with the consumer,which could be through the visual appeal of the product or its packaging,or the imagery(意象) created by advertising.And what of the Dyson vacuum cleaners?Mr.Dyson may believe that people buy these machines because of the graphs showing their superior suction,but most vacuum cleaners do a good job;the main reason people pay extra for a Dyson is because it is a vacuum cleaner with a trendy brand.With its inside workings exposed,it is a bit like a Richard Rogers building with all its pipes shown in bright colors on the outside instead of being hidden inside.Functional it may be,but it is a bit of a trick,too. 【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】一件商品,是因?yàn)樗墓δ軓?qiáng)大賣得就好還是它的外表美觀就賣得好呢?其實(shí),現(xiàn)在各種產(chǎn)品在功能上大同小異,所以外觀方面的因素就在銷售中顯得很重要。 35Mr.Dyson left the Design Museum because he thought the museum 　　　. A.didn’t increase the number of visitors B.couldn’t provide scholarships for learners C.wasn’t loyal to its original purpose of learning D.didn’t have great appeal for serious industrial designs 答案:C 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“Mr.Dyson felt that the museum put too much stress on style and fashion at the expense of serious industrial design.”及文章第二段中的“Mr.Dyson accused the museum of not keeping true to itself.”可知,戴森辭職是覺(jué)得展覽館沒(méi)能做到保持真我,太關(guān)注樣式和潮流了,所以答案為C項(xiàng)。 36.What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A.A product with convenient packaging sells well. B.The majority of consumers prefer to buy branded goods. C.Most similarly priced products are of a parable standard. D.Emotion contributes much to the development of advertising industry. 答案:C 解析:推理判斷題。第四段告訴我們:價(jià)位基本相同的產(chǎn)品基本的功能都差不多,競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手間較量的是獲得消費(fèi)者情感上的認(rèn)可,但是并不等于說(shuō)明情感過(guò)多地影響廣告業(yè)的發(fā)展,所以D項(xiàng)不正確;既然獲取消費(fèi)者的情感認(rèn)可很重要,就不能說(shuō)明大多數(shù)消費(fèi)者喜歡買品牌商品,這是兩個(gè)不同的概念,從而排除B項(xiàng);A項(xiàng)前提錯(cuò)誤,本段說(shuō)的是兩個(gè)價(jià)格基本一樣的商品比較。根據(jù)第四段中的“Today nearly all goods at any given price-point do much the same job.”可知C項(xiàng)正確。 37.The author believes that people buy the Dyson vacuum cleaner because 　　　. A.it has very good suction B.it is fashionable C.it sells well around the world D.it is invented by James Dyson 答案:B 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的“...the main reason people pay extra for a Dyson is because it is a vacuum cleaner with a trendy brand.”可知,人們買戴森牌真空吸塵器是因?yàn)樗橇餍衅放?也就是它屬于時(shí)尚行列,所以選擇B項(xiàng)。 38.What is the author’s attitude towards the form of a product? A.Optimistic. B.Sceptical. C.Disapproving. D.Objective. 答案:D 解析:推理判斷題。作者從產(chǎn)品的功能和產(chǎn)品的外觀兩個(gè)方面來(lái)說(shuō)明產(chǎn)品銷售的問(wèn)題,非常客觀,所以對(duì)產(chǎn)品外觀的分析是客觀的,故選D項(xiàng)。 39.C Migrant workers are happier and more satisfied with their life than last year,but they still constantly feel lonely,isolated and looked down upon,according to a survey jointly released by Renmin University of China and job.gzh,a job-hunting website for migrant workers. The survey polled 2,011 migrant workers in 20 cities among the website’s 7.2 million registered users. pared with the survey’s results of last year,migrant workers are happier with their living standards,but the level of interpersonal relationships,social participation and status has dropped,the report stated. Yue Shuangbao,46,from Gansu Province,has been working as a truck driver in Yulin,Shaanxi Province for so long that he cannot even remember the exact number of years. “Life is really hard if I don’t work away from home,”Yue said. His whole family depends on his ine,which is 5,500 yuan per month,500 yuan higher than last year. “We can see that migrant workers’ wages are growing,and that’s why they feel happier about life,”said Hu Ping,a professor of Psychology at Renmin University of China.“However,the social participation situation is not getting any better.” The report said more than half of the polled migrant workers constantly have negative feelings,including loneliness,isolation,and worthlessness. Yue said he was very homesick,but because visiting friends and family costs money,he remains alone. “I miss my family all the time,but what can I do?My daughter and son are still in school,my parents are old and our family is useless.At least I earn more than I stayed at home,”he said.“I have to do this to support my family.” “We found that those who have a more active social life are generally happier than those who don’t,”said Li Jiuxin,CEO of job.gzh. Around 30 percent of those polled said they would turn to an online network for help,the report also said. 【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文介紹了中國(guó)人民大學(xué)與一個(gè)網(wǎng)站聯(lián)合開(kāi)展的一次調(diào)查,結(jié)果表明,農(nóng)民工比以往更快樂(lè),但他們也有他們的苦惱。 39Migrant workers are happier and more satisfied with their life than before mainly because 　　　. A.society gives them more care B.they share the same voice as city residents C.they can earn paratively more money D.their children enjoy better education now 答案:C 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第七段可知,農(nóng)民工覺(jué)得現(xiàn)在的生活更幸福的原因是他們的工資在漲,因此選C項(xiàng)。 40.The underlined word“polled”in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “　　　”. A.questioned B.studied C.reported D.described 答案:A 解析:詞義猜測(cè)題。畫(huà)線詞所在句說(shuō)這次調(diào)查涉及20個(gè)城市的xx名農(nóng)民工,因此畫(huà)線詞的含義是“詢問(wèn)”,故選A項(xiàng)。 41.From this passage we might safely say that Yue Shuangbao is 　　　. A.a cheerful and skillful driver B.a responsible and caring father C.a mean and unsocial man D.a reliable but indecisive husband 答案:B 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第十段可知,如果不出來(lái)打工他一家人的生活就會(huì)很艱難,他說(shuō)孩子在上學(xué),他要養(yǎng)家。從這些可以看出他有家庭責(zé)任感,很愛(ài)自己的孩子,因此選B項(xiàng)。 42.What is the main idea of this passage? A.Migrant workers are happier with life,but a sense of isolation remains. B.Homesickness,a mon phenomenon among migrant workers. C.Migrant workers’ dilemma;back home or far away from home. D.What stops the migrant workers going back home? 答案:A 解析:主旨大意題。本文介紹了一次對(duì)農(nóng)民工的幸福感的調(diào)查報(bào)告,其結(jié)論是農(nóng)民工比以往更快樂(lè),但他們也有一些消極的情緒,比如想家,覺(jué)得自己無(wú)用等。因此A項(xiàng)最能概括本文的大意。 43.D Latest figures from the National Bat Monitoring Programme showed that fewer of the flying mammals were counted in xx than the previous year.The Bat Conservation Trust is concerned that this year’s unseasonable start means that bats are struggling to recover.During the summer,bat activity reaches its peak.But this year,the animals are faced with the challenges such as a delayed breeding(繁殖) season and a lack of insects on which they feed.“After two years of long and wet winters as well as a particularly late and cold start to summer this year,the prospect(前景) isn’t hopeful for our bats,”said Dr. Kate Barlow.The latest report from the National Bat Monitoring Programme revealed the level of bat activity recorded in xx.Bat species—including mon pipistrelle,soprano pipistrelle,noctule and serotine—were all lower in number than in xx. Philip Briggs explained that breeding in bats appeared to be delayed last year,probably due to the cold spring and unusually wet summer.Mr. Briggs predicted that this year,the bats’ breeding season could again have been delayed due to the cold spring,but he added,“I suppose if we continue with the current good weather,which could help improve breeding success and survival throughout the summer,but we’ll just have to see how things go.” Seventeen species of bats breed in the UK,including the rare Bechstein’s bat,the distinctive-looking brown long-eared bat and the Daubenton’s bat,also known as the “water bat” because it catches insects from water surfaces.Over the past 15 years,the National Bat Monitoring Programme has shown that the population of all the surveyed bat species is increasing.However,Dr.Barlow mented,“All our bats produce only one baby a year,so a few years of bad weather could have a great impact on numbers of bats if they are unable to find enough food to allow them to breed successfully.” 43What do we know about the British bats? A.They usually feed on insects. B.They produce at least one baby a year. C.Seventy species of them breed in the UK. D.They choose spring as their breeding season. 答案:A 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的“But this year,the animals are faced with the challenges such as a delayed breeding(繁殖) season and a lack of insects on which they feed.”可知答案。 44.Why is the Daubenton’s bat also called the “water bat”? A.Because it can dive into water. B.Because it lives on water surfaces. C.Because it catches insects from water surfaces. D.Because it usually nests near a river. 答案:C 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段:and the Daubenton’s bat,also known as the “water bat” because it catches insects from water surfaces.可得答案。 45.Which of the following does not have a negative effect on the bats’ breeding?
