9、查动词词义辨析及语境理解。从下面的However 及其后面的句子可看出，四个鸟蛋变为三个，鸟妈妈会注意不到，而当三个变为两个的时候，她就会离开，这就意味着鸟妈妈知道两个和三个的区别。所以此题选notice，意思是：注意到。4A考查副词词义辨析及语境理解。发现自己的卵少了，通常她会离开，所以选generally，意思是：通常。deliberately 故意地；sincerely真诚地；casually随便地，临时地。5C 考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。the difference betweenand意思是：和之间的差别。6A 考查形容词词义辨析。下面描述实验中的乌鸦对数字的变化是令人惊讶的，所以

10、选amazing。7D考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。由“the crow always left when she saw him coming”可知，直到人离开，乌鸦才回来，所以选return。relax 放松；recover恢复；react反应。8C考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。下文说的是这个人为了让乌鸦回来想出了一个办法，所以用idea。have an idea意思是：想出了一个办法，有了一个主意。appointment任命，约定；excuse借口； explanation解释。9A考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。他们本想让一个人离开，造成个假象，欺骗一下乌鸦，但是乌鸦不上当，等到第二个人离开了

11、才回来。所以选fool，意思是：欺骗、愚弄。10B考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。这里指的是又添加人重复上面的实验，所以选repeat。11B考查形容词词义辨析。对应上文的left，四个选项中只有gone符合语境，意思是：离去的，离开的。12D考查副词词义辨析及语境理解。这里指的是实验的最后结果，所以用finally。直到五个人进去，四个人离开，最终把乌鸦给愚弄了。13B考查形容词词义辨析。从下文的“when the number goes beyond three or four”可以看出，这里所说的group应该是small group。14D考查副词词义辨析及语境理解。 当数量超过三个或四个

12、的时候，14个月左右的婴儿常常被欺骗了。15C 考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。这里指的是对于东西数量变化的识别能力，所以选ability。文章开篇有原词复现。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，并将答案填写在相应位置上。One day, Nick invited his friends to supper.

16、mount of unfairness in the world，but everyone added a little，always 25._ (think) that it was only small and not very important，and look where we have ended up today.”【要点综述】 文章通过一个故事，向我们揭示了一个道理：世上的不公平本来没这么明显，正是由于众人的一点点的改变，使得这些不公愈演愈烈。16found 考查动词的时态。文章讲述的是过去的事情，所以用一般过去时。也可结合后面从句的时态(过去完成时)来判断。17nor 考查连

Fred Epstein，in his

19、 book If I Make It to Five，tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom，a fouryearold boy with a cancer in his back bone.He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.Tom loved to pretend，and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein expla

20、ined that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.The day before his third trip to the operating room，Tom was terribly afraid.“Maybe I could go as Superman，”he whispered to his mom.Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while.She had avoi

21、ded buying the expensive costume(戏装)，but finally she agreed.The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman，showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.And Tom，with the strength of his fantasy，successfully made it through the operatio

22、n.The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only.We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible，to go through those things that seem impossible，and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr.Epstein puts it，“If you can dream it，you

23、 can do it.”It doesnt mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview.But，next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it.Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first.So，let your

24、imagination run wild，and dare to dream.26What do we know about Tom?AHe was seriously ill.BHe was a dishonest boy.CHe was crazy about magic.DHe was Dr.Epsteins patient.27What can be inferred about Toms mother?AShe was a rich lady.BShe refused Toms request.CShe wanted Tom to be a superhero.DShe wanted

25、 to get Tom through the pain.28When Tom went for the third operation，he _Apretended to be painfulBacted like a superheroCappeared in poor spiritsDargued with his mother29In the last paragraph，you are advised _Ato go through some difficult testsBto wake up from your wild dreamsCto become a powerful p

26、erson in your mindDto wear expensive clothes for job interviews30What is the purpose of the passage?ATo tell us an interesting story.BTo help us make right decisions.CTo advise us to care about children.DTo encourage us to use our imagination.【要点综述】 文章告诉我们，面对苦难和挑战，要充分发挥想象力的作用，使自己内心强大起来，梦想才能实现。26A细节理

27、解题。由第一段的“Tom，a fouryearold boy with a cancer in his back bone.He came through several operations”可知，Tom 病得很厉害。27D推理判断题。由第四段的“And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy，successfully made it through the operation.”可以看出，Tom的妈妈答应儿子的要求，就是想帮儿子减少手术的痛苦感。其他选项可以这样排除：由第三段的“She had avoided buying the expensive c

28、ostume(戏装)，but finally she agreed.”可以看出A和B错误；C项可以由常识排除。28B 细节理解题。由第四段的“The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.”可知当时他的行为和超人一样。故选B。29C 推理判断题。这是对前面所讲述的故事的升华，故事中小Tom用自己的想象力战胜了痛苦，作者在这里也

29、建议我们面对困难时要“need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first.”还要“let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.”由此可见，C项符合题意。30D 写作目的题。文章开篇点题：Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.告诉我们想象力的重要性，然后通过一个具体的例子加以论证。最后一段中作者又鼓励我们在挑战和困难面前使用想象

30、力，使自己内心强大起来，故选D。BSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.Im not going to say luck，talent，and circumstances dont come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right f

31、amily while others are born with great intelligence，and thats just the reality of how life is.However，to succeed in life，one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And，in addition to that，in order to get really good at something，one needs to spend at least 10，000 hours s

32、tudying and practising.To become great at certain things，itll require even more time，time that most people wont put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you dont enjoy what you do，it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you

33、quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success，you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，but th

34、inking that way does you no good，and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway.Whatever you do，if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out，almost to the point of addiction，and over a long period of time.If youre not willing to put in the time and work，dont expect to rec

35、eive any rewards.Consistent, hard work wont guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.31Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _Athe reasons for successBthe meaning of successCthe standards of successD

36、the importance of success32In Paragraph 2，the underlined word that refers to _Abeing good at somethingBsetting a practical goalCputting in more timeDsucceeding in life33Successful people suggest doing what one loves because _Awork makes one feel painBone tends to enjoy his workCone gives up his work

37、 easilyDit takes a lot of time to succeed34What can we infer from Paragraph 4?ASuccessful people like to show their great skills.BPeople sometimes succeed without luck or talent.CPeople need to achieve success at the cost of life.DIt helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.35What is the

38、main theme of the passage?AHaving a goal is vital to success.BBeing good is different from being great.COne cannot succeed without time and practice.DLuck，talent and family help to achieve success.【要点综述】 人人都渴望成功，成功有时或许和天赋、运气和家境有关，但是缺少了长期辛勤的付出，成功就会成为无稽之谈。31A 段落大意题。这一部分向我们分析了一个人成功的因素：luck, talent, and

39、 circumstances。32B 代词指代题。上一句说的是要想成功需要做的第一个方面：“set a goalmake it more practical”。由此可知答案。33D细节理解题。题干关键词为：Successful people suggest(对应文章中的advise)。第三段的第一句话 “This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.”中的this，就是指的上文的“To become great at certain things, itll require

40、 even more time, time that most people wont put in.”由此可知答案。34B推理判断题。在这一段里作者告诉我们：Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，但接着又说：but thinking that way does you no good。由此可以看出，有时候人的成功是靠运气和天赋的，但是如果我们这样认为对我们是没有好处的。由此可推知答案。35C主旨大意题。纵观全文可以看出，文章首先向我们分析了成功的因素，怎样才能成功，

41、同时也剖析了对成功的一些错误的认识，最后一段总结全文，概括了主题，告诉我们成功需要日复一日(work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time)的努力和辛勤的工作(hard work)。由此可知答案。COne day, when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and

42、 down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family，” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and Im very worried about him. Can you help？” I looked at David and showed him to a chair.

43、 How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesnt have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically. The first two times we met, David didnt say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the childrens dra

44、wings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoonin complete silence and without looking at me. Its not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice. Usually, he arrived earlier than ag

45、reed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me? “Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his su

46、ffering.”Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly. “Its your turn，” he said. After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into uni

47、versity. Now he had really started to live his own life. Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that onewithout any wordscan reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.36When he first met the author, David _ A. felt a

48、 little excitedB. walked energeticallyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher37As a psychologist, the author _A. was ready to listen to DavidB. was skeptical about psychologyC. was able to describe Davids problemD. was sure of handling Davids problem38David enjoyed being with the aut

49、hor because he_Awanted to ask the author for adviceBneeded to share sorrow with the author Cliked the childrens drawings in the officeDbeat the author many times in the chess game39What can be inferred about David?AHe recovered after months of treatment.BHe liked biking before he lost his family.CHe

50、 went into university soon after starting to talk.DHe got friends in school before he met the author. 40What made David change?AHis teachers help.BThe authors friendship.CHis exchange of letters with the author.DThe authors silent communication with him.【要点综述】 对于一个自闭的孩子，心理医生最好的疗法或许就是默默地和他一块感受他的痛苦36C

51、 细节理解题。由第一段的“and his hands shaking slightly.”可以看出，第一次见面时David有点紧张。37A细节理解题。由第二段的“Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.”可以看出，他已准备好了聆听。38B细节理解题。在第五段中，作者对小男孩愿意来找他的原因进行了猜测：“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，” I thought.“Perhaps he senses that I

52、 respect his suffering.”由此可知答案。39A推理判断题。经过作者的治疗，David已经恢复了正常：started talking, got friends in school and joined a bicycle club，同时给作者写信描述了自己目前的生活以及对将来生活的打算。由此可知答案。40D细节理解题。由文章可知，是作者的正确治疗方法，才使David恢复得那么好。他的方法就是：is to listen openly and sympathetically，具体的做法就是默默地和他下棋。DWhile Jennifer was at home taking an

55、g, this is the cutting_edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that the

56、ir exams and diplomas are validthat students havent just searched the Internet to get the right answers. Although online classes have existed for more than a decade，the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of “open online courses.” Private colleges，public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students，while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.Aside from the web cameras, a number of other hightech
