Im glad theyve finally decided to clean them, the nurse said. She looked at mum strangely and said, But arent you wo

23、rking late? Mum just pushed harder, each swipe(拖)of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until I couldnt see her and the nurse had turned back to write in the big book. After a long time mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She rapidly put the mop back and took my hand. A

24、s we turned to go out of the door, mum nodded politely to the nurse and said, Thank you. Outside, mum told me, Dagmar is fine. No fever. You saw her, mum? Of course.

28、gest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet (彗星). When the fragments (碎片) landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet? The year is 2094. It has been announced that a co

29、met is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic. On 17 July, a fragment four kilometres wide enters the Earths atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. B

30、ut the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are

31、drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia. Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north wont escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperature

32、s around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived. Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosa

33、urs(恐龙)were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment.

37、he possible disaster in the futureB.prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyedC.tell the historical development of the EarthD.warn of a possible disaster in the future答案:D解析 推理判断题。在这篇短文中，作者讲述了2094年彗星撞击地球后可能产生的灾难，目的是为了警告人们在未来地球可能会遭受灾难。所以正确的答案为D。Text 3 It is often difficult for a man to be qu

38、ite sure what tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations; how much he earns; how much interest he receives; how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on

39、 and so forth. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is. There was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount. One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, h

40、e decided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something. He was just writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax-c

41、ollector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer. 1.

42、eD.where one lives答案:B解析 事实细节题。题干意为“文章提到，一个人应该根据什么来缴税?”由文章的第一段第一句话看出，一个人所缴税款是由很多方面决定的。“whether the man is married”是其中的一项。所以正确的答案为B。2. The underlined word proper in the second paragraph means _.A.smallB.bigC.rightD.wrong答案:C解析 词语释义题。题干意为“第二段第一行proper的意思是什么?”“proper”的意思是“适当的，合适的”。由文章的最后两段可知，艺术家担心自己这次缴

43、税不够，打算再次补交。所以他以前交的都是合适的。所以正确的答案为C。3. After a lot of work, the artist thought that he had paid the government _.A.less tax than he should haveB.more tax than he should haveC.as much tax as usualD.just enough tax答案:A解析 事实细节题。题干意为“经过计算后，艺术家认为这次他缴纳的税款如何?”从文章的第三段内容可知，“He believed that he owed the governm

44、ent something”根据意思，他认为自己仍欠政府的钱，已经缴纳的应该比需要缴得少。所以正确的答案为A。4. Why did the tax-collector send a letter to the artist?A.To send him a new tax form.B.To return the money over-paid.C.To remind him of paying the tax.D.To explain the rules of tax-paying.答案:B解析 推理判断题。题干意为“为什么税务官给艺术家钱?”由文章的最后一句话可知，“too much had

45、 been paid”，他的税额交多了，因此，多余的税款现在退还纳税人。所以正确的答案为B。第二节 补全文章根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. 1 The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey.

49、 quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by U.S. writer Michael Crichton; and if you like horror, U.S. writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. 5 Happy reading!

52、serious study.”中的needs a break，以及“假期不是为了严肃而认真地学习”可知，此处用Instead转折引出下文较合适。故选F项。2.答案:G解析 根据空格处前一句“.there are two options: reading a childrens book or reading a book that youve read in Chinese translation.”可知，如果读过中译本，则会“be familiar with the story”，故选G项。3.答案:B解析 根据空后“When I pick up a book I like, even th

53、ough the first few chapters.”可知作者建议选择感兴趣的书。故选B项。4.答案:E解析 第四段主要讲和朋友一起读书能做的事，与E项中“plot lines or vocabulary issues”相对应，所以E项正确。5.答案:D解析 上文提到了Harry Potter，the Narnia series, Michael clichton，Stephen King，都是推荐读的书目及作者，而且也提到了horror，这是一个topic，都包括在D项内，所以D项正确。第三部分 英语知识运用第一节 完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出能填
