11、se: henry p., 47, divorced, charged with being drunk. he refused to leave a pub at closing time and caused a bit of damage when the police tried to arrest him. p. said he had had an argument with his boss and could not face going home to an empty flat.9:50 mrs f., 72, shoplifting (店内偷窃). apparently

12、mrs f. had stolen a frozen chicken, which she had hidden under her hat (at this the school children burst out laughing and even the judges have difficulty keeping a straight face). the chicken was so cold that she fell unconscious, otherwise she would probably not have been caught. mrs f, in tears,

16、unclear motivation for his/her crime?a. henry p. b. mrs f. c. peter d. mrs a.【答案】21. a 22. c 23. d【解析】这是一篇记叙文。本文记录了一次庭审的有关人物及相关事件。21. 细节理解题。第二段第三句“caused a bit of damage”中知道，当henry p.被抓的时候，他拒绝离开酒吧并且损坏了酒吧里的一些东西。故选a。.23. 推理判断题。第五段最后一句有“she could not explain why”，可以知道mrs. a.自己也不知道为什么要偷衣服。符合题干中的“unclear

17、 motivation（没有清晰的动机）”。故选d。bthe full moon climbs over the eastern horizon (地平线) and hangs like a huge orange globe in the sky. a few hours later, the moon is overhead but seems to have changed. the huge orange globe has become a small silver disk. what has happened? why has the orange color disappear

18、ed? why does the moon seem so much smaller and farther away now that it is overhead?the moon appears orange on the horizon because we view it through the dust of the atmosphere. the overhead moon does not really shrink as it moves away from the horizon. our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is f

19、arther away. but in this position the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.the change in size is a trick our eyes and minds play on us. when the moon is low in the sky, we can compare its size with familiar objects. it is easy to see that the moon is much larger than

20、trees or buildings, for example. when the moon is high in the sky, however, it is hard to compare it with objects on earth. compared to the vastness of the sky, the moon seems small.there is another reason why the moon seems to shrink. we are used to staring at objects straight ahead of us. when an

21、object is difficult to see, our eyes have to try to focus on it. when we move our heads back to look up, we will try hard again. looking at something from an unaccustomed position can fool you into believing an object is smaller or farther away than it is. however, scientists do not yet understand c

22、ompletely why the moon seems to shrink as it rises in the sky.24. what makes us puzzled when the moon is high in the sky?a. it looks different. b. it becomes large.c. its color disappears. d. its shape changes.25. what really happens when the moon floats farther away from the horizon?a. it turns ora

23、nge. b. it comes nearer.c. it goes farther. d. it gets through dust.26. what does the author intend to suggest by mentioning trees and buildings in para. 3?a. they are low on earth. b. they are large objects.c. they can affect our judgment. d. they can attract our attention.27. what can we infer fro

24、m the text?a. the size of the moon often changes.b. we do not see the moon as it really is.c. the moon is beginning to shrink much.d. the moon is in fact a huge orange globe.【答案】24. a 25. b 26. c 27. b【解析】这是一篇说明文，介绍了月亮刚升起的时候为什么感觉大，而上升到我们头顶上的时候，为什么又让人感觉缩小了很多的这种现象。24. 细节理解题。从第一段第二句和第三句知道，让人们感到迷惑的是，月亮从

25、地平线上刚升起时橘红色的大圆球状，而当月亮升到我们头顶上空的时候，又变成了较小的银盘状。这感觉是颜色形状和大小都发生了改变，而b项说是变大，c项说颜色消失了，d项说的形状改变了，但a项内容显然包括了d项。故选a。25. 第二段最后一句中“the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.”知道，当月亮升到我们头顶上空的时候，实际上离我们的眼睛比月亮在地平线时要近。故选b。26. 推理判断题。第三段第一句中提到，月亮大小的变化，其实是我们眼睛和大脑的一种错觉，产生错觉的一个原因就是在月亮比较低的时候，

26、我们容易把月亮与树和建筑物相比较。故选c。27. 推理判断题。整篇文章介绍的都是我们看月亮的一种感觉，其实月亮的大小和颜色是固定不变的，跟我们看上去的感觉是不一样的。符合b项的意思：我们看月亮其实不像月亮本身的样子。故选b。【名师点睛】在做英语阅读理解选择题的时候，有时候会遇到某个选项是符合文章意思的，但是另外一个选项的外延要比这个选项要大，就是说内容上包括了这个选项，那我们就选外延相对较大的一个选项作为最佳答案。如第1小题a项的外延要比d项的外延大。因此第1小题的答案选a 而不选d。cthe sun was slipping down through the trees and it was

27、 time to go home. time was running out. his mother would look at him and she would know. she always knew. a hot tear ran down his cheek. she trusted him. this was the first year she had left him alone for three hours between school and the time she got home from work. she had to work to buy his clot

28、hes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. he remembered the nice way she said, “you are a little man now, joy.” it made him sad when his mothers words came back to him. she trusted him.remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. her trust in him was al

29、l he could think about now. it drove everything else from his mind. “she trusted me.” he kept saying to himself. “she trusted me.” this was most important. next to this, the pipe and its magic power meant nothing.joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. he now knew what he had to do. and he

30、 was in a hurry to get it done. when he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps. now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. he was out of breath when he reached the store.mr. dow was just inside the door. the big man smiled. joy wished he

31、had not. somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for joy to do what he wanted to do. joy was lost for a moment. his feet felt heavy. suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. his voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.“mr. dow,” he said at last, “i didnt mean t

32、o take it.”“thanks, joy.” mr. dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boys hand. “how about staying around and helping me close up the shop?”joy felt mr. dow, s big hand on his shoulder. and joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.28. what kind of a life did joy and his

33、mother live?a. a poor life. b. a new life. c. a happy life. d. a modem life.29. why did joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?a. he felt sorry for his mother.b. he couldnt help the family.c. he had run away from school.d. he disappointed his mothers expectations.30. what do we know about mr. d

34、ows smile to joy?a. its broad. b. its warm. c. its false. d. its secret.31. which of the following can be the best title for the text?a. an interesting pipe b. a powerful smilec. unconditional love d. magic trust【答案】28. a 29. d 30. b 31. d【解析】本文是一篇短篇小说。文章讲述了主人公joy从商店买了一根笛子后的矛盾心理以及想到母亲的信任之后毅然做出退还笛子的决

35、定。28. 推理判断题。文章第一段里讲述了joy想到母亲为了自己的衣食住行而辛苦地去上班，于是留下了一行热泪“a hot tear ran down his cheek.”再结合joy后来做出退还自己喜欢的笛子的决定，可以知道他的家庭生活是贫穷的。故选a。29. 第一段的末尾，joy提到了他母亲对他的信任；第二段第一句说，想到母亲的信任，joy就感觉到一根锋利的木棍刺痛了他的心；第二段第二句和第三句谈到了母亲的信任当时占据了作者所有的思想。综上可以看出，joy觉得自己的做法辜负了母亲对他的信任。故选d。30. 推理判断题。第四段第三句“joy wished he had not”，可以看出jo

36、y去退自己买的东西感到不好意思，但接下来当joy说自己买了之后，结果店主却说“thanks, joy.”出乎joy的意料，这可以看出在joy开始看到的“mr. dows smile to joy”是真诚的，是善意的，是温暖的。故选b。31. 主旨大意题。文章第一段着重提到母亲对joy的信任让joy做出了退掉了自己购买的笛子，文章的最后一句joy又感受到了mr. dow对自己的信任，因此magic trust是贯穿了整篇文章的。故选d。damericans recognize that there is a past on which the present rests. but they ha

37、ve not developed their sense of the depth of time as much as this has been done in the middle east and south asia. the arab looks back two to six thousand years for his own origins. history is used as the basis for almost any modem action. the chances are that an arab won start a talk or a speech or

38、 analyze a problem without first developing the historical aspects of his subject. the american assumes that time has depths but he seldom stresses its importance of it.the american never questions the fact that time should be planned and future events should be fitted into a schedule. he thinks tha

39、t people should look forward to the future and not talk too much on the past. his future is not very far ahead of him. results must be obtained in the foreseeable future one or two years or, at the most, five or ten. promises to meet deadlines and appointments are taken very seriously. there is real

40、 punishment for being late and for not keeping commitments in time. the american thinks it is natural to calculate the value of time. to fail to do so is unthinkable. the american calculates how much time is required to do everything. “ill be there in ten minutes.” “it will take six months to finish

41、 that job.” “i was in the army for four and a half years.”the americans, like so many other people, also use time as a link that chains events together. if one event occurs on the heels of another, we will certainly try to find a causal relationship between them. if a is seen around the area of b

42、9;s murder shortly after the crime has been committed we automatically form a connection between a and b. however, events which are separated by too much time are difficult for us to connect in our minds. this makes it almost impossible for us as a nation to engage (从事) in long-range planning.32. ho

43、w do americans see past time according to the first paragraph?a. its valueless. b. its limited. c. it reflects today. d. it helps start a talk.33. what does the underlined phrase “to do so” in paragraph 2 refer to?a. to calculate the value of the past.b. to plan a schedule for future events.c. to fi

44、gure out the importance of time.d. to meet deadlines and appointments.34. when will americans chain two events together?a. when common evidence is found.b. when the two events happen one by one.c. when a is found near the scene of bs crime.d. when one event happens long after another.35. what does t

45、he author mainly want to tell americans to do?a. see time further. b. make a long-range plan.c. remember the past time. d. keep their commitments.【答案】32. c 33. c 34. b 35. a【解析】本文是篇议论文。文章阐述了美国人关注事情发生的因果，但更强调未来事情发生的计划性。32. 细节理解题。文章第一段第一句中提到美国人承认现在和过去是有关联的，从而说明美国人认为今天的某些事情是过去的一种折射（reflect）。故选c.33. 细节理

46、解题。前一句有“the american thinks it is natural to calculate the value of time”，讲的是美国人认为“考虑时间的价值”是“自然的”，也就是美国人看重时间的重要性。而这正是后面to do so的内容。故选c。34. 第三段第二句中“if one event occurs on the heels of another（如果一件事情紧随着另一件事情发生）”就是后半句所说的两件有因果关系事情发生的时间。b项里“the two events happen one by one”就是“一件事接着发生另一件事”的意思。故选b。35. 主旨大意

47、题。第二段第一句和第二句提到美国人注重时间的计划性和未来事情的合理安排，第三句提到，未来计划的时间不能太久，一般一至两年，最多五至十年。文章的最后一句提到，对美国人来说“long-range planning”也是不可能的。综上所述a项“see time further”符合题意。故选a。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。in the villages of mexico, as in some other parts of the world, shopping is a kind of game.

48、in the fine department stores, of course, buyers pay the prices listed on the tags (标签). _36_suppose a merchant is a mexican shopkeeper who sells handmade silver jewelry to tourists. _37_ the merchant names a price. immediately the tourist makes a much lower offer. the price the merchant puts on an

49、article is not usually the price which will finally be paid. but the merchant pretends to be shocked. _38_ it takes a long time to make such remarkable earrings. but at great sacrifice the merchant will let the tourist have the earrings at a lower price. the two bargain. the tourist comes up a littl

50、e, and then the merchant comes down a little. at last they agree on what both consider to be a fair price._39_ the merchant may talk about life in the village or mention interesting sights the tourist should see before leaving mexico.the merchants way of doing business is much older than the superma

51、rket way. it dates back to old world times when the town market was the only place where people could exchange news and visit with friends. _40_in mexico today, bargaining still makes life interesting for some merchants.a. the buyers found bargaining really interesting.b. bargaining made their lives

52、 a little more colorful.c. while the two bargain, they speak of other things as well.d. among the items of jewelry is a pair of earrings a tourist wants to buy.e. but in most villages, bargaining is a game both buyers and sellers enjoy.f. while in mountain areas, the buyers and sellers have to barga

53、in every day.g. the tourist is told that the earrings are real silver, made by people living in the mountains.【答案】36. e 37. d 38. g 39. c 40. b【解析】本文介绍了墨西哥商人的一种生活方式：和顾客之间的讨价还价，让生活变得更有趣。36. 前一句提到在一些大型好点商场，顾客都是按标签上的价格购买商品的。而下文介绍的是和这种购物方式不一样，即店主和顾客之间总是讨价还价的一种购物方式，而且墨西哥人把这种方式看作是一种游戏来欣赏。因此此处是引导下文的。故选e。37

54、. 第二段是举例说明墨西哥讨价还价的购物方式，从下文来看是店主和顾客之间讨价还价的商品是一副耳环。故选d。38. 店主为了能使耳环卖的价格高一点，假装很震惊，并要让顾客知道他为什么震惊，因此就得编一些关于商品值那个价的借口。故选g。39. 尽管店主和顾客讨价还价，但最终还是以上方都能接受的价格完成交易，同时店主还会跟顾客谈些其它的事情，比如还有哪些有趣的地方值得去玩等。故选c。40. 第四段介绍的是墨西哥讨价还价的历史。最初的小集镇是热门聊天、交换信息或拜访朋友的地方，同时发现讨价还价让生活变得更有趣。最后一段也强调了这一点。故选b。第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空

55、（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。walking across campus with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing, especially when youve 13 years old. i looked around me in _41_ of a friendly face, a smile, anything. i was quite disappointed. and i, _42_, felt somewhat foolis
