B．The；theC．A；/ D．A；the答案A[考查冠词。根据inJapan可知第一空为特指，所以用the，第二空power前面有定语，不加冠词。]22．________ithasstarted，atsunamicanmoveacrosstheoceanforhugedistances.A．ThoughB．SinceC．OnceD．While答案C[考查状语从句。though虽然；since因为；once一旦；while当……时候。此处语义为“一旦海啸开始了”。]23．—DoyouknowJane?—Yes.Sheseemsstrange.Ifind________hardtogetalongwithher.A．meB．itC．herD．that答案B[考查代词。该题为“findit＋adj.＋todo”结构，it为形式宾语，代替后面的动词不定式短语。]24．—Ihaven'tmademuchgreaterprogressinspiteofmyhardwork.—Don'tworry.Haveyouforgottenthatlittlechangescan________greatchange?A．addup B．addtoC．addupto D．addinto答案C[考查短语辨析。addupto合计。句意：难道你忘了小小的变化会累计成大变化吗？]25．TheGreatWall，________wevisitedduringthesummervacation，isthelongestwallintheworld.A．where B．whenC．what D．which答案D[考查定语从句。which指代先行词theGreatWall，在句中作动词visit的宾语。]26．________privatecarsarebringingusconvenience，theymayalsocausemoretrafficaccidentsandpollution.A．While B．AsC．If D．Since答案A[while在此是连词，表示让步，意为“尽管……；即使……”。句意：尽管私家车可以给我们带来方便，但同时也带来了更多的交通事故和污染。]27．—Wherewillyoustartyourworkaftergraduation?—Mmm，it'snotbeendecidedyet.I________continuemystudyforahigherdegree.A．needB．mustC．wouldD．might答案D[由it'snotbeendecidedyet可知，“我”对此并不确定，因此后面的情态动词用might表示可能性不是很大。]28．—Youseemedtohavebeenimpressedbyhissongs.—Well，notexactlyso.Itwashiswayofsinging________hisvoicethatreallyimpressedme.A．ratherthan B．aswellasC．butalso D．togetherwith答案A[考查强调句中被强调部分之间的连接词的用法辨析。句意：是他的演唱方式而不是他的歌声让我印象深刻。故选A。]29．—It'sthirtyyearssincewelastmet.—ButIstillrememberthestory，believeitornot，________wegotlostonarainynight.A．whichB．thatC．whatD．when答案B[通过对句子的分析可知，believeitornot是插入语，that引导的是thestory的同位语从句。]30．Themotherandsonrecognizedeachotheratfirstsightthough________formanyyears.A．separating B．tobeseparatedC．separated D．havingbeenseparated答案C[考查过去分词的用法。句意：尽管被分开了很多年，但母亲和儿子第一次见面就认出对方来了。连词though后接过去分词，表示被动，相当于thoughtheywereseparated...。]31．Theyoungkidsaidthathehadtoldmethetruth，aboutwhichIwas________verymuch.It'stypicalofhimtotelllies.A．concerned B．curiousC．doubtful D．particular答案C[考查形容词辨析。句意：这个孩子说他告诉了我真相，对这一点我很怀疑，因为撒谎是他的特质。concerned担忧的；curious好奇的；doubtful怀疑的；particular特别的。]32．Onlythosewhohaveexperiencedhardshipcanbewellawareof________happinessmeans.A．whyB．whatC．howD．which答案B[考查宾语从句。句意：只有那些体验了苦难的人才能更好地意识到幸福的含义。分析句式结构可知，空格处所需词在句中引导宾语从句且在从句中充当means的宾语，所以B项正确。which引导名词性从句时多表示疑问且要有一个明确的范围。]33．—Iforgottodomyhomework.Don'ttelltheteacher.—Iwon'ttellanybody，butdoyouthinkyoucan________it?A．getawayfrom B．breakawayfromC．getawaywith D．runawayfrom答案C[考查动词短语辨析。第二句句意：我不会告诉任何人，不过你认为你能侥幸过关吗？getawaywith有错未受惩罚；getawayfrom从某处逃走，摆脱某人；breakawayfrom挣脱；脱离(政党，组织等)；runawayfrom逃离；从……逃出。]34．Mostyoungdon'thaveenoughmoneytoafford______anewhouseformarriagethemselvesnowadays.A．tobuy B．buyC．bought D．buying答案A[考查非谓语动词。句意：大多数年轻人如今自己都没有足够多的钱买新房结婚。afford后接动词时，需用动词不定式，而不可以用动词的­ing形式。由此可以知道D项错误。B、C项错误，因为afford后不可以跟动词原形，也不可以接过去分词。]35．—ShallIhelpyougetadictionarysinceI'lldropinatthebookstorethisafternoon?—________.A．Itcouldn'tbebetter B．OfcourseyoucanC．Ifyoulike D．It'suptoyou答案A[考查交际用语。前句句意：今天下午我要去书店，帮你买本词典好吗？A项表示“再好不过了”。“否定词＋比较级”表示最高级用法。B、C、D三项不符合英语交际的礼貌原则。]第二节：完形填空(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四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Onesunnyafternoon，aseven­year­oldgirlwentforawalk.Shecrossedalargeareaofgrasslandintothewoods__36__sherealisedthatshewaslost.Sittingonarockand__37__whattodo，shebegancrying.Afterawhile，she__38__towalkalongawidepathlinedwithtalltreesandthickbushes.__39__itwasgettingdark，shesawasmall，darkwoodenhouse.Sheopenedthedoorand__40__steppedin.Suddenly，sheheardastrangenoise，andsheranoutthedoorandbacktothe__41__.Coldandtired，shefellasleepneara__42__.Thegirl'sparentswereoutandherdog，Laddy，wasathome.Laddy__43__thathismistress(女主人)wasindanger.Hejumped__44__awindow，breakingtheglass.Helookedinthefields，buthecouldn'tfindhismistressanywhere.However，fromthegroundcamea__45__scent(气味)asheloweredhishead.He__46__thescentandwalkedacrossthegrassland.Barking__47__intotheair，thedog__48__throughthewoodsuntilhefoundthe__49__.Butthegirlwasnotthere，soheheadedbacktothewoods.Muchtohis__50__，hesawhismistress'blueshirtinthedistance.He__51__oversomebushesandsawthelittlestream，wherethegirlwas__52__.Whensheopenedhereyesand__53__herdogstandingbesideher，thegirlsaid，“you__54__me，Laddy，”andshekissedhimseveraltimes.Seeingtheirdaughteranddogcomingback，theparentsburstintotearsof__55__.ThatnightLaddyhadahero'ssupper：ahugemealofsteak.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个七岁的小女孩出去散步，结果走到树林里迷了路，最后被自己家的狗Laddy接回了家。36．A.beforeB．sinceC．whileD．as答案A[before表示“才”。句意：小女孩穿过了一大片草地进入了树林后才意识到自己迷路了。since“自从”；while“当……时候”，常和进行时态连用；as“随着……”，都不符合题意。]37．A.wondering B．forgettingC．remembering D．regretting答案A[wonder“纳闷，不知道”。根据上文小女孩迷路了，还有下文开始大哭起来，可知此处句意：坐在石头上，不知道怎么办。forget“忘记”；remember“记得”；regret“后悔，遗憾”，都不符合题意。]38．A.preferred B．expectedC．failed D．decided答案D[句意：过了一会儿，她决定沿着一条路旁有高大的树木和浓密灌木丛的宽阔的道路走去。结合语境，应用decided。]39．A.When B．UntilC．If D．Because答案A[句意：当天变黑的时候，她看到了一个小黑木屋。所以用when。]40．A.carelessly B．cautiouslyC．hopelessly D．unwillingly答案B[根据常识，小女孩看到了一个小木屋，她应该是打开门小心地迈进去。cautiously“小心地，谨慎地”；carelessly“粗心地”；hopelessly“无望地”；unwillingly“不乐意地”。]41.A．trees B．bushesC．woods D．grasses答案C[此题要结合上文。根据上文知道小女孩本来是在森林里面，她迈进小屋后听到了奇怪的声音，她跑出来，又回到森林(woods)里面。]42．A.stream B．rockC．tree D．house答案A[此题要结合下文He________oversomebushesandsawthelittlestream，wherethegirlwas...，根据这一句话可知小女孩是在小河边(stream)睡着了。]43．A.found B．sensedC．heard D．smelt答案B[小女孩在树林里，狗在家里，距离很远，所以它不可能是发现(found)，听见(heard)或者闻到(smelt)女主人有危险，而是应该“感觉到(sensed)”女主人有危险。]44．A.at B．throughC．in D．onto答案B[jumpedthroughawindow“从窗子里跳出来”，从某一空间穿过要用“through”。]45．A.terrible B．strangeC．pleasant D．familiar答案D[狗的嗅觉灵敏，它从地上应该是闻到一股“熟悉”(familiar)的味道后，才顺着味道去寻找。]46．A.missed B．discoveredC．followed D．ignored答案C[根据上文知道它闻到了主人熟悉的味道，所以它跟随着这个味道去找，“随着，跟着”用follow。miss“错过，怀念”；discover“发现”；ignore“忽略”。]47．A.calmly B．loudlyC．merrily D．gently答案B[根据具体情境，狗应该是大声叫，希望主人听见。所以loudly符合语境。]48．A.searched B．wanderedC．looked D．travelled答案A[句意：狗边大声叫着，边在树林里搜寻。search“搜寻”。]49．A.windowB．girlC．houseD．hero答案C[根据下一句Butthegirlwasnotthere，所以此处不能选thegirl，应该是发现了那个小木屋。]50．A.satisfaction B．disappointmentC．embarrassment D．delight答案D[根据下文它看到了远处女主人的蓝衬衫，它应该是高兴，所以选delight。]51．A.jumped B．climbedC．walked D．flew答案A[根据后面的“oversomebushes”可知，狗是从灌木丛上面跳过去的，所以用jumped。]52．A.awake B．abandonedC．available D．asleep答案D[根据上文我们知道小女孩在河边睡着了，所以狗看到了小河，小女孩在那里正睡着。所以选asleep。awake“醒着的”；abandon“放弃，舍弃”；available“可获得的，可用的，有空的”。]53．A.spotted B．watchedC．observed D．saw答案D[句意：当小女孩睁开眼睛看到她的狗站在身边时，她说……spot“认出，玷污”；watch“观看(电视)”；observe“仔细观察，研究，遵守”；see“看到，看见”，所以选D。]54．A.disturbed B．comfortedC．rescued D．scared答案C[根据语境，小女孩迷路了，自己的狗找来了，她认为是狗“救了她”，所以用rescued“拯救”符合题意。]55.A．pain B．shockC．sorrow D．relief答案D[现在看到女儿和狗回来了，父母是松了口气，所以用relief“轻松，宽慰”比较符合语境。]第三部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。ATheadvantagesofusingflashcardstobuildupavocabularyarewellknown.Youcanbuysetsofcards，ormakeyourown，andcarrythemwithyouwhereveryougotouseinanyidletimeyoufindyourselfwithduringtheday.There'snoquestionthisisuseful，andbecauseyoucanusetheminshortbursts，it'snottoomuchforyou；itcanbefun.Idon'trecommenddrillingforhoursatatimewithflashcards.Ifyouwanttouseflashcardsoftware，thingsgetevenbetter.Therearemanypackagesoutthereformaintaininganddrillingflashcards.IrecommendVTrainthoughtherearemanyothers.Onestandsout，however：SuperMemo.SimilartoPimsleur，SuperMemoisengineeredaccordingtoacarefullyresearchedmethodology(方法学)inordertotestyouonacardtheveryminimumnumberoftimesyouneedtoseeitforittostick.Whenyoulookatacard，yougivesomefeedbacktothesoftwareonwhetheryougotitrightandhoweasyyoufoundit.Itusesthisinformation，andthatofyourpreviousattempts，todecidewhenyouwillbeshownthecardnext.It'ssmart，anditreallyworks.Ifyou'relikeme，thenewsisevenbetter！Ihaveaversion_of_SuperMemothatrunsonmyPalmOSphone.WhereverIam，ifIhavemyphonehandyIhavethousandsofflashcardswithmetoo.Honestly，itwouldbeworthpurchasingacheapPalmdeviceonlyforthis.Youcanpickoneupfor$20orevenlessoneBayorelsewhere.Considerit，atleast.【语篇解读】文章给人们介绍了一种增加词汇量的好方法。56．Whatisthepurposeoftheauthorinwritingthepassage?A．Toteachushowtomakeflashcards.B．Totelluswheretogetflashcards.C．Tointroducetousawaytobuildupavocabulary.D．Tosuggestusbuyingflashcards.答案C[主旨大意题。通读全文可以看出，文章主要讲述了使用flashcards增加词汇量这个方法。]57．Whichofthefollowingistrueaccordingtothepassage?A．Don'tstudywithflashcardstoolongatatime.B．Usingcardstostudycanbeverytiring.C．Thereisnotenoughflashcardsoftwareatpresent.D．Flashcardsoftwarecanbecarriedwhereveryougo.答案A[细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“我不推荐一次用flashcards演练几个小时”判断，A项正确。]58．WithSuperMemo，whetherthenextcardwillbeshowndependson________.A．thetimeyoulookatacardB．theinformationinthecomputerC．thefeedbackonegivestothesoftwareD．thetimesoneattemptstodowithacard答案C[细节理解题。根据第三自然段可以看出，下一张卡片出现的时间是根据“你对这个软件的反馈”。]59．Bysaying“Considerit，atleast”inthelastparagraph，theauthorhopesweconsider________.A．buyingaPalmdeviceB．whetheritisworthbuyingoneC．usingflashcardstostudyD．installingSuperMemoonourphones答案A[推理判断题。作者在最后一段中谈到“在ebay或其他地方，你用$20或者更少就可买一个”，然后说considerit，由此推断作者是让读者“考虑买一个”。]BIhateddinnerparties.ButIdecidedtogivethemanothershotbecauseI'minLondon.AndmyfriendMalleryinvitedme.AndbecausedinnerpartiesinLondonareverydifferentfromthosebackinNewYork.There，“I'mhavingadinnerparty”means：“I'mbookingatablefor12atarestaurantyoucan'taffordandwe'llbesharingthechequeevenly，nomatterwhatyoueat.”Worse，inManhattanthereisalwayssomeonewholeavesbeforethebillarrives.They'llthrowdowncash，halfofwhattheyowe，andthenpeoplelikeme，whodon'tdrink，enduppayingevenmore.ButifItrytousethesametrick，thehostesswillshout：“Whereareyougoing？”Andit'snotlikeIcansayIhavesomewheretogo：everyoneknowsIhavenowheretogo.ButinLondon，dinnerpartiesareinpeople'shomes.Notonlythat，theguestsareaninterestingmix.ThelasttimeIwenttoone，theguestswerefromFrance，India，DenmarkandNigeria；itwaslikeagatheringattheUnitedNations.InNewYork，themixislessstriking.It'slikeagatheringatBloomingdale's，awell­knowndepartmentstore.ForNewYorkers，talkingaboutotherpartsoftheworldmeansBrooklynandQueensinNewYork.ButatMallery's，whenIsaidthatIhadbeentoMyanmarrecently，peopleknewwhereitwas.InNewYorkpeoplewouldthinkitwasausualnewclub.【语篇解读】文中作者对比了伦敦与纽约dinnerparties的不同。纽约的dinnerparties由于多在饭店举行，而且费用昂贵，付费不公平而使作者讨厌。相比之下，伦敦的dinnerparties则有趣得多。60．Whatdoestheword“shot”inParagraph1probablymean?A．Choice. B．Try.C．Style. D．Goal.答案B[词义猜测题。根据上下文可知，虽然作者讨厌dinnerparties，但由于现在是在伦敦，所以作者决定“再给他们一次机会“，即“再去参加”。try意为“尝试，机会”，其他三项均无此意。]61．WhatdoesthewriterdislikemostaboutdinnerpartiesinNewYork?A．Thereisastrangemixofpeople.B．Therestaurantsareexpensive.C．Thebillisnotfairlyshared.D．Peoplehavetopaycash.答案C[事实细节题。从文章第一段后半部分可知，有些人付的钱少，而有些像作者一样的人则付钱多，作者觉得这比“分摊费用”和“收费昂贵”更糟。故选C。A项不是纽约dinnerparties的特点；B、D两项并不是作者最不喜欢的。]62．WhatdoestheauthorthinkofthepartiesinLondon?A．Abitunusual.
