小题1:WhatdoesLowstilldoattheageof90attheCNIB?(nomorethan10words)

小题2:WhydidLowlearnBraille?(nomorethan15words)

小题3:whatdoestheunderlinedword“strenuous”mostprobablymean?(1word)

小题4:WhatareLow’scontributionstotheCNIB?(nomorethan10words)

小题5:WhatdoyouthinkofLow?Giveyourreasons.(nomorethan20words)答案：小题1:ShehelpstransformliteratureintoBraille(forblindreaders/theblind).小题2:(Because)hermother’seyesbegantofailandsheheardan/theadvertisement.小题3:Difficult/Hard/tiring/tough.小题4:Shehasbrailledandproofreadhundredsofbooks,andreadbooksintoontotape.小题5:LowiskindandhelpfulbecauseshehasdevotedmuchtimetotranscribingbooksintoBrailleasavolunteer.Or:Lowiskind-heartedladywithapositiveattitudetowardlifebecauseshetakesdelightinhelpingothers.解析：【文章大意】DorisLow到去年12月份就90岁了。但是她从事志愿者活动已经有40年了。她的工作是把故事和知识传播给盲人读者通过吧文学作品翻译成布莱叶盲文。有时还要读录成磁带。三年前她又从事校对工作。这个工作很辛苦，但是她喜欢。小题1:根据文章第一段第二句话可知，Low现在90岁仍然在CNIB从事帮助把文学作品翻译成布莱叶盲文的工作。所以回答ShehelpstransformliteratureintoBraille(forblindreaders/theblind).小题2:根据文章第三段可知，因为她的妈妈喜欢阅读，但是她的视力变差了，而她也听到了一则鼓励人们学习布莱叶盲文的广告。所以回答(Because)hermother’seyesbegantofailandsheheardan/theadvertisement.小题3:第四段开头，破折号是对画线的词strenuous的解释，都做到最后了，因为一个错误就必须从新做。所以strenuous的同义词是Difficult/Hard/tiring/tough.（很累、很难。）小题4:第五段介绍了Low对CNIB的贡献：把很多书翻译成了布莱叶盲文、校对了数百本书籍还读书录成磁带。所以回答Shehasbrailledandproofreadhundredsofbooks,andreadbooksintoontotape.小题5:Low是一个善良的人，她帮助盲人读书。所以回答LowiskindandhelpfulbecauseshehasdevotedmuchtimetotranscribingbooksintoBrailleasavolunteer.Or:Lowiskind-heartedladywithapositiveattitudetowardlifebecauseshetakesdelightinhelpingothers.2.Youaresupposed________theworkyesterdaybutyouforgot.

C.lawsshouldbepassedtoavoidpets’diseasesspreading

D.peoplewithpetsshouldbestayedathome答案：56.D57.D58.B59.A60.C解析：56.根据Wehavemettheenemy,andheisours.Weboughthimatapetshop.Whenmonkey-pox,adiseaseusuallyfoundintheAfricanrainforest,suddenlyturnsupinchildrenintheAmericanMidwest,it’shardnottowonderifthediseasethatcomesfromforeignanimalsishominginonhumanbeings.可推断，从宠物商店购买的动物身上携带疾病。57.根据AstrangeillnesskilledIsaksen’spets,andshenowthinksthatkeepingforeignpetsisabadidea.“Idon’tthinkit’sfairtohavethemaspetswhenwehavesuchalimitedknowledgeofthem”可判断。58.根据上文，猴痘是一种从非洲的动物身上传播到人类身上的疾病，紧接着作者说这种没有经过严格控制的法律需要改变。最后又以猴痘为例，由此可判断“thewake-upcall”表示“一种警示”。59.根据Weknowverylittleaboutthesenewdiseases.Anewbug(病毒)maybekindatfirst.Butitmaydevelopintosomethingharmful(有害的).可知“新的病毒会转化成有害的东西”，最后导致人与人的传播，因此我们必须与病毒作斗争。60.最后一段大意：我们必须改变不检疫而引进野生动物的规定，才能避免疾病的传播。【标签】饲养宠物与人类健康13._______oneofyoubreaksthewindowwillhavetopayforit.A．WhoeverB．WhateverC．WhicheverD．Wherever.答案：C解析：句意为：你们当中无论哪个损坏了窗子都将得赔偿。根据题干中“…oneofyoubreaksthewindow”可知主语从句内主语不完整，而且指人的主语“…oneofyou”有范围限定。所以该用一个起形容词作用的词。若题干改为“_______breaksthewindowwillhavetopayforit.”，则应用whoever.【考点定位】主语从句和引导词的综合考查

who/whoever（谁/无论谁），指人，无限定范围；what/whatever（什么/无论什么），指物，无限定范围；which/whichever(哪个/无论哪个)，即指人又指物，有限定范围。whichever的意思“……的那个人或事物”，在意义上大致相当于thepersonorthethingthat。如：Youcanpickwhicheveroneyoulike.你喜欢哪个就挑哪个。

Whicheverofyoucomesfirstwillreceiveaprize.你们谁第一谁就能得奖。

We’lleatatwhicheverrestauranthasafreetable.哪个饭馆有空桌我们就在哪儿吃吧。

Whicheverofusgetshomefirststartscooking.我们当中无论哪个先到家，哪个就先开始做饭。14.—Doyoulikethematerial?

C.sostrongthan

D.strongerthan答案：D17.Hisabilityisneverindoubtthequestionis_______heispreparedtoworkhard.A．whetherB．ifC．thatD．where答案：A解析：考查名词性从句。句意：他的能力是不容置疑的——问题是他是否准备努力工作。if不可引导表语从句。18.用词组的适当形式填空。答案：1.gettingalongwith

本题考查理解文章主旨大意的能力。由第一段第一句“Inmanyways,oursocietydoesn’tsimplyprepareforthekindsoflivesthattheelderlymustlead.”及文章内容可知，全文谈的是我们在对待老人方面做得很不够。因此A项正确。2.B

本题考查根据短文相关内容进行推理判断的能力。由文章第一段“Inmanyways,oursocietydoesn’tsimplyprepareforthekindsoflivesthattheelderlymustlead.Wehavemademedicaladvancesthatallowpeopletolivelongerthaneverbefore,butwedonotseemtoknowwhattodowiththemafterwehavesavedtheirlives.”可以判断选项B正确的。3.D

本题考查理解文章细节信息的能力。文中第二段结尾“Evenpeoplewhoareentrusting(委托)aparenttothecareofahomerarelyaskaboutthenurse-parentratio,aboutthekindsofcreativefacilitiesorphysicaltherapyequipmentavailable,orevenaboutthefrequencyofdoctor’svisits.”这是作者对人们的批评，由此可以判断选项D正确。4.D

本题考查根据短文相关内容判断作者的观点态度的能力。由第二段“Evenpeople…rarelyaskaboutthenurse-parentratio,aboutthekindsofcreativefacilitiesorphysicaltherapyequipmentavailable,orevenaboutthefrequencyofdoctors’visits.”可以判断选项A和B是正确的；选项C在文章中没有提到.36.第二节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5，满分30分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）出可以填入空白的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
