1、【试题总体说明】整张试卷充分体现了新课标的理念，给英语教学指明了方向，不失为一份比较成功的试卷。听力题沿用了全国命题的材料，话题涉及购物、餐饮、度假等，与平时训练材料一致。语速与去年相仿，材料基本上从短到长。最后一段改用了对话，替代了以前的独白。单项填空比以往更重生活实际，语言简洁明了，有效诠释了语法在交际中的语用功能。同去年有所不同的是，减少了词汇辨析题，增加了一道交际题和反义疑问句考题(25道)。完形填空第一次改变了文体，由原先夹叙夹议、叙述为主的文章，变成了一篇纯议论文，长句、难句明显增多，没有故事与情节，从而大大增加了难度。阅读理解篇改变了顺序，应用文放在了第一篇。其次是创新，原先的猜

2、词题变成了猜短语与猜句子。任务型阅读难度与去年接近，但词性变化题、理解题较多，考生不易把握。书面表达是一篇表格类的看图作文，要求以冲突为话题，描述给定情境，分析现象并提出建议。话题贴近时代，贴近生活，贴近学生，提示内容少，发挥空间大，考生有话可写，体现了新课标背景下的命题方向。第一部分:听力(共两节,满分20 分)做题时,先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后,你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。第一节(共5 小题;每小题1 分,满分5分)听下面5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项,并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来

8、隔定语从句中谓语动词needed缺少主语，先行词是people(指人)，故选用关系代词who。句意：“洪水过后，那个地方的人饱受洪灾之苦，急需饮用水、药品、帐篷等生存物资。”23.

11、迟到下午两点左右。”中心名词notice和同位语从句“the meeting would be postponed”被分隔开来，增加了试题难度，但前后仍然是解释说明关系。29. Thank God youre safe!

35、ure. One solution to this problem is to put the drugs inside a capsule, protecting them from the bodyand the body from themuntil they can be released at just the right spot. There are lots of ways to trigger (引发) this release, including changing temperature, acidity, and so on. But triggers can come

36、 with their own risksburns, for example. Now, researchers in California have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining near-infrared light (NIR, 近红外线) on the drug in the capsule.The idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isnt new. Researchers around the globe have d

37、eveloped polymers (聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when theyabsorb either ultraviolet (UV, 紫外线) or visible light. But tissues also readily absorb UV andvisible light, which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, where the light canreach the capsule. NIR light l

38、argely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as atrigger. But few compounds (化合物) absorb NIR well and go through chemical changes.That changed last year when Adah Almutairi, a chemist at the University of Diego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that b

39、reaks down when itabsorbs NIR light. Their polymer used a commercially available NIR-absorbing group calledo-nitrobenzyl (ONB). When they catch the light, ONB groups fall off the polymer, leading to itsbreakdown. But ONB is only a so-so NIR absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when itseparat

40、es from the polymer.So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules thats even better.This one consists of a long chain of compounds called cresol groups linked in a polymer. Cresol contains reactive(易反应的) components that make it highly unstable in its polymeric form, a

41、 feature Almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage. After polymerizing the cresols, they cap each reactive component with a light-absorbing compound called Bhc. When the Bhcs absorb NIR light, the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains. Shining additio

Whats more, Almutairi says, Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB and is not poisonous to cells.语篇解读：这一篇科普文章，讲的是“怎样使用胶囊，让吃药更加安全、疗效好”。DFranz Kafka wrote that “a book must be the ax (斧子) for the frozen se

49、 Macbeth. The students didnt always read from the expected point of view.About The Red Pony, one student said, “its about being a man, its about manliness. ”I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeths soliloquies (独白) read as raps (说唱), but both
