五、书面表达(1题)81.假设你是小明，光明中学的学生，你给你的好友小华写信讲述你的美国之行。内容包括：先去了纽约，看到许多摩天大楼，但看不到世贸大厦了；两天后去了洛杉矶（LosAngeles），参观了好莱坞，游览了迪斯尼乐园；还去了内华达（Nevada）的里诺Reno），游览了风景优美的大沪（Dahu）湖。

注意：

1．不要逐字翻译，叙述要连贯。

2．词数应为100左右。

六、写作(1题)82.61．你(LiYuan)丢失了钱包。需要写一个寻物启事。内容包括：

(1)丢失的时间和地点。

(2)描述钱包内外(钱包的颜色、钱包里的东西)。

(3)提供与失主联系的方式。

参考答案

1.B

2.C解析：第三段。该词前面的sadly和该词后面的鸵鸟之死，都可断定这个词的含义是有生命危险的。选项C是正确的。

3.D主旨大意题。

【应试指导】本文主要讲述美国儿童在家庭、社会中的地位。

4.A

5.B根据文中的内容可知，文章主要讲述了房间的颜色和外观对于身在其中的人们的行为的影响。

6.A根据文中第三段第六句“Thousandofpeoplelinedtheroutetoencouragehim…”可知，答案为A项。

7.D本题为细节辨认题。文章第一段第一、二句讲到“Abudget(预算)isaspendingplan．Itcanhelpyouspendmoneywisely．”即：预算就是一个花钱的计划，它能让你明智地花钱。

8.B解析：在几所你能够去的英语学校中，你可能选择theInternationalHouse，是因为那里没有英语口语班，这和本文开头提到的你的愿望是提高英语，特别是英语口语水平正好相符，因此B选项是正确答案。A选项与你的主要目的不一致，具有较强的干扰性。

9.D解析：根据文章的主旨，可知作者对于TerryFox的做法是赞美的、钦佩的。

10.C

11.D解析：通过后面的句子“Theystudyantheirlivesinsearchofit.”可以知道本题应选D。

12.B解析：本题属主旨判断题。文章第一段主要讲：第一辆汽车的重要性，第二、三段主要讲：汽车是怎样发动起来的。

13.C

14.C

15.D参见最后一段的倒数最三行“…noticedhistidyclothing，hisneatlybrushedhairandhiscleanfingernails…”，不难推断出答案。

16.B

17.D解析：参见第五段。作者特别提到由于鲸鱼的数量巨大，因此它们很可能没有足够的食物。因此，过量饮食是不可能的。由于人们还没有真正弄清楚鲸鱼的死因，那么，任何其他的原因都是可能的。

18.D解析：首先排除B、C，这两个选项都和原文的意思相反。A这个干扰项的干扰性很大，原文提到的Iwasgrowingsickof是“厌倦”而不是“生病”的意思。

19.C解析：这篇文章既不是新闻，也不是通知，更不是学术论文，而是工作招聘广告。

20.C解析：参见第二段：麦克风放在房顶上是为了监听到打枪的声音。

21.D解析：参见第一段。

22.B解析：最后两行中的“risky”和“debts”暗示出B项。

23.A解析：第二段第3句Itwouldhaveamazedthebrightestmindsofthe18thcenturyEnglightenmenttobetoldbyanyofushowlittleweknowandhowbewilderingthewayaheadseems．(此观点会使18世纪启蒙运动时期的精英们都感到惊异。)可见在启蒙运动时期，不少人自认为人类的认识已经达到了一个可观的高度。因此选A。

24.D解析：见第三、四段。科学家每天检测，空气中这种有害颗粒的密度。如果密度高于65毫克／立方米(科学家认为这个标准还应下调)，工厂应停止排烟，住宅应停止燃烧壁炉，如果住宅没有安装新型低烟壁炉的话。

25.C解析：参见第四段：他的飞机可以垂直起飞和降落。

26.D解析：本题问为什么每年为数众多的人来到庞贝古城。从第一段的TheyseethesightsthatPompeiiisfamousfor—itsstadiumandtheatres，itsshopsandrestaurants．Thetouristsdonot，however，seePompeii'speople.TheydonotseethembecausePompeiihasnopeople．NoonehaslivedinPompeiiforalmost2000years．可以得知人们来庞贝古城参观体育场、剧院、商店和餐馆。但是庞贝古城大约2000年来都没有人居住，所以人们来看的是古建筑，而不是来看戏或购物等。A、B、C三个选项均可排除。第四段中提到保留下来的街道和喷泉，剧院和商店。接下来又说Perhapsthemostimportantofall，therewereeverydayobjects，whichtellsusagreatdealaboutthepeoplewholivedinPompeii．这些日常生活用品包括酒具、面包烤盘、眼部化妆品等。人们从中可以了解当时庞贝城的居民的生活情况。

27.C

28.C解析：本题问为什么那么多的人们留在维苏威火山附近生活。答案可从第二段找到：MountVesuviushadnoteruptedforcenturies，sothepeopleofPompeiifeltsafe．许多世纪以来，维苏威火山都没有喷发过，因此人们认为在那儿生活是安全的。

29.A解析：这篇文章的主要观点是说无论过去大家都学希腊语和拉丁语或现在几乎无人学希腊语或拉丁语，罗马和希腊对欧洲文化仍然起着很重要的作用。选项A是正确的。

30.C解析：参见最后一段。如果鲸鱼不能适应自然的环境，Keiko的基金会会以每年一百万美元的花费来照看它。那就意味着照看它终生，而不把它放回大自然。

31.A26．答案为A

根据句意，tendtodosth．表示“容易做某事”。其它三个词表示“想要，希望”。

32.A

33.D此处问“当一个紧急情况发生时，我们将召唤谁”，选疑问代词who。

34.Cinvent“发明”；create“创造”；produce“生产”。根据前面所说，种植的是橡胶树，因此应是“生产”橡胶。C项是正确的。

35.B解析：这个成绩也破了纪录。

36.B解析：后面的but是一个转折，前后应是相反或相对的。后面说这是他的职责，可以想象，他不得不这样做，所以感到抱歉。选项B是正确的。

37.B解析：gethimsacked指“解雇他”。

38.D解析：without是介词，后面跟动名词。此外，在此句中主语是catch的承受者。综合考虑两者因此选beingcaught。

39.D解析：这篇涉及美国的选举程序。2000年11月7日是美国的特别的日子。这一天全国的选民都在选举代表。这一日也叫总统大选日。

40.C

41.A解析：Tellthemtheyarelosingweight这句话实际上印证Everyoneherewantstobethin，因此答案定在A选项thin上面。

42.D参考下文，It'sactuallyratherdifficulttosay．．．可知，此处表达的是与difficult相反的意思，因此应选择easy为答案。因有两个与easy有关的备选答案，需进一步分析。因easy修饰单数可数名词，因此只有选择aneasy。

43.B解析：定语从句中，先行词是人，关系代词用who。

44.C解析：句意理解题。根据文中内容，应选复数代词them。

45.B解析：as“当……的时候”。当我走过五金货架的时候，我朝店员点了点头。

46.A

47.A此题为一道理解题。此空白处所要填充的是一个前面已两次涉及过的概念，即在文章第2段中的it'sdifficulttodefinewhatacityis和同一段中的itisn'teasytodetermineacity'sboundaries。如能很快查到或记起相关论述，就能很快断定出此处所需填充的是一个表示“边界”或“范围”的英文词。、当limit用来表达“界限”、“界线”和“范围”时，通常使用其复数形式。

48.B解析：These肯定指的是前面所说的橡胶做的橡胶树。这段是用其他的例子说明，其他的很多东西我们都用的是代用品，橡胶树当然也同样可以。选项B是正确的。

49.Cequal平等的，similar相似的，same同样的，level平均的。根据上下文，两瓶卖三瓶的钱，所以选项C是正确的。

50.D解析：till表“直到”，即“等到最后一刻”。

51.CA、B、D三项划线字母w发[w]，而C项中划线字母w不发音，因此选C项。

52.A解析：A项划线部分发[e]，而B，C，D项划线部分发[c:]，因此选A项。

53.D解析：该题测试元音字母a的读音。选项A、B、C中字母a发[ei]音；选项D中字母a发[ae]音。

54.A

55.B解析：画线部分读[i:]，其他选项的画线部分读[ie]。

56.D解析：本题属元音字母的考查题，可利用排除法。A、B、C三项当中的发音均为[a:]，只
