B．a;theC．a；/ D．the；/答案：B考查冠词。句意：我们走了很久也没有说一句话，Tom首先打破了沉默。word作”说的话，话语”讲时，是可数名词，因此第一空用不定冠词a；第二空，应用the特指由于我们不说话造成的沉默。因此答案选B。22．Itwas________thatwehadagreattimeplayingonthebeach.A．suchafineday B．soafinedayC．asuchfineday D．asofineday答案：A考查固定句型。句意：天气那么好，我们在海边玩得很开心。句型用法为“such＋a/an＋adj.＋n.＋that...；so＋adj.＋a/an＋n.＋that...”表示“如此……以至于……”，故答案为A。23．Asweallknow,theearth'sresourcesare________atanalarmingrate,soweshouldmakegooduseofthem.A．endingup B．leavingoutC．usingup D．runningout答案：D考查动词短语辨析。句意：众所周知，地球上的资源正在以惊人的速度被消耗着，所以我们必须要有效地使用它们。endup“最终成为”；leaveout“不包括，不提及”；useup“用尽”，为及物动词短语；runout“用完，耗尽”，为不及物动词短语。故答案为D。24．LucyhopesthatMr.WilsonwillsuggestagoodwaytogetherwrittenEnglish________inashortperiod.A．improved B．improvingC．toimprove D．improve答案：A考查非谓语动词。句意：Lucy希望Wilson先生能建议一种好方法以在短时期内提高她的书面英语。此处为getsth.done句式，动词的­ed形式作宾语补足语，表示被动的动作。25．MissGaoisverypopularamongstudentsbecauseweallliketheway________shetalkstous.A．which B．whatC．how D．that答案：D考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，该空引导定语从句修饰theway。theway后跟定语从句可用that或者inwhich引导，也可省略连接词。故D项正确。26．PremierLiKeqiang________hissorrowforthedeadandorderedthenecessitiesshould________immediatelytotheearthquakestrickenareas.A．conveyed;beconveyedB．transformed;beconveyedC．transformed;betransformedD．conveyed;betransformed答案：A考查动词辨析和语态。句意：李克强总理表达了对死者的哀悼，并命令把这些必需品立刻送往地震灾区。convey“传达，表达(思想、感情等)，传送，运送”；transform“使改观”。根据句意，第一空应选conveyed；第二空，necessities与convey应是被动关系，所以选A。27．Nurseryrhymesappealtochildrenbecausetheyareeasy________andsoundfunny.A．remembering B．toberememberedC．toremember D．remembered答案：C考查非谓语动词。本题考查“主语＋be＋adj.＋动词不定式”结构，其中主语是动词不定式动作的逻辑宾语，常用动词不定式的主动形式表达被动意义。28．Becareful!Thereisatruck________suppliesrunningdownhill.A．loadingwith B．loadedwithC．carriedwith D．carryingwith答案：B考查非谓语动词。load...withsth.表示“用……装载……”，根据句意可判断，atruck与load为被动关系，因此应选择过去分词短语loadedwith作后置定语。故答案为B。29．Withthedevelopmentoftechnology,therehavebeenmoreandmorecultural________betweenChinaandothercountriesinthepasttenyears.A．changes B．tradesC．bargains D．exchanges答案：D考查名词辨析。句意：随着科技的发展，近十年来中国与其他国家之间的文化交流越来越多。change“变化，更换”；trade“贸易，买卖”；bargain“便宜货，协议”；exchage“交流”。根据句意可知，D项正确。30．—MayIspeaktoKateGreen?—Canyou________？I'llseeifshe'shere.A．holdon B．goonC．waiton D．carryon答案：A考查动词短语辨析。答语意为：等一下行吗？我去看看她是不是在这儿。空处应填holdon，意为“等一下，别挂断”；goon“(灯)亮，流逝”；waiton“招待”；carryon”继续移动”。31．________hehadnothurthisleg,Davidwouldhavewonthe100­meterrace.A．If B．SinceC．Though D．When答案：A考查连词。句意：如果David的腿部没有受伤，他本可以赢100米赛跑的。根据句意可知，此空填If。32．Itwouldnotbe________forustoattendaformalweddingwiththesportsclothes.A．comfortable B．appropriateC．convenient D．available答案：B考查形容词辨析。句意：穿着运动服参加正式的婚礼对我们来说是不合适的。comfortable“舒适的”；appropriate“合适的”；convenient“方便的”；available“可获得的”。根据句意应选择B。33．ImadeatriptoBeijingduringthesummervacation,whichwasaneventthatwould________mylife.A．survive B．strengthenC．sponsor

B．haveworkedC．shouldwork D．worked答案：A考查虚拟语气。句意：如果Peter在学校努力学习了的话，现在他也成为工程师了。根据句意，此句为错综条件句，从句是对过去的虚拟，主句是对现在的虚拟，因此空处选择过去完成时，故答案为A。35．—Dad,Ifeelverynervouswiththeexamapproaching.—________.Aslongasyoucanfinishit,itisavictory.A．Takeyourtime B．TakeiteasyC．Noproblem D．It'shardtosay答案：B考查交际用语。——“爸爸，随着考试的临近，我感到非常紧张。”——“放松。只要你能做完，这就是胜利。”Takeyourtime“慢慢来，从容不迫”；Takeiteasy“别紧张，从容”，用于安慰别人；Noproblem“没问题”，表示乐于相助或事情容易做；It'shardtosay“(这)很难说”。因此答案选B。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，掌握其大意，然后从36～55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)，选出最佳选项。Yesterdaywasaveryrainyday.Mybackgardenwasmiserable.Thesunflowerstriedtokeep__36__bycoveringtheirfaceswiththeirpetals(花瓣).Thepoorfirtreewassocoldthathisneedles(针叶)were__37__.Ourwillowtreemademattersworse__38__cryingsohardthatlittle“rivers”floweddownhisleavesontotheotherplants__39__.Theywereallannoyed.Thewillowtreesaidhewassorryand__40__thathewasalwaysunhappywhenitrained.“That'ssilly，”hisneighbor,theappletree,toldhim.“__41__isgoodforwillowtrees！”“Bebrave，”saidthegiantcherrytree.“Therainwon't__42__forever.”Thenthecherrytreeshookherbranches,sending__43__flyingthroughtheairandintothefishpond.Thefishswam__44__tothewatersurface.Theyhadbeenstudyingfishdancing.“Doyouknowhowharditisto__45__ourlessonwiththeraindroppingonourroof？”askedthebiggestfish.“Youjustmadeittwiceasannoyingand__46__inhere.Ihavesuchaheadache！”Thecherrytree__47__forbeingsothoughtless.Shepromisedtoshakeherbranchesinadifferent__48__nexttime.Therewassomuchwaterinthegutter(排水沟)thatariver__49__.Twogreen­and­goldduckscameandwentfora__50__intheriver.Asitwasonlywideenoughforoneduck,theybegan__51__witheachotheraboutwhoshouldbetheleader.Afterlunchabiggreenfrogvisitedthegardenand__52__twogardenmicetohaveajumpingcompetition.Themiceplayedbravelywiththefrog，butweresecretlygladwhenheleft,__53__everytimethefrogjumpedhemadethewatergorightuptheirnoses.Luckilytodayissunnyandtheplantsandanimalsaremuch__54__.Thegardenshouldbebackto__55__bytomorrow.文章大意：作者用拟人的手法讲述了雨天里后花园中的动物和植物们的故事。36.A.quiet

B.creativeC.selfish D.beautiful答案：B推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句的“LucilleClifton'spoetryisanythingbuttraditional...Overtheyears,sheseemstohaveperfectedthatart.”可知，她在诗歌创作方面不传统，独创自己的风格，由此可推出她是一个有创造力的人。59．WhichofthefollowingisTRUE?A．LucilleCliftonwasthefirstAfrican­AmericanpoetlaureateofAmerica.B．LucilleCliftonwasborninAfrica.C．LucilleCliftonbeganwritingpoetryfromabout1956.D．UnlikeLucilleClifton,hermother'spoetryistraditional.答案：D细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话可知，A项错误；由第二段第一句话可知，B项错误；由第二段第二句可知，C项错误；由第五段第一句可知，露西尔·克利夫顿的诗与母亲的诗不同，不属于传统类型，由此可知露西尔·克利夫顿母亲的诗较传统，因此D项正确。B(·福建)WaltDisneyiscreditedforcreatingsuchwonderfulthingsasDonaldDuckandMickeyMouse.However,hecannottakethecreditforcreatingotherwell­lovedcharacters,suchasCinderellaandSnowWhite.TheyarealmostautomaticallyassociatedwithDisneybecauseDisneyturnedoldfables(寓言)intocartoonmovies.TheoriginalCinderellavariesverymuchfromtheDisneyversionweknowtoday.Itstartedoffwiththegirlmourninghermother'sdeathandgoingtohertombthreetimesaday.Inaddition,therewereonlybirdsthathelpedCinderella;therewasnosuchthingasafairygodmotherorhelpfulmice,norwastherementionofahorseandcarriage.Thestepsisterswerecruel:theyalwaysthrewCinderella'sfoodintotheashesofthefire,andmadehersleepontheashesonthefloor,hence(因此)hername.Intheoriginalstory,theking'sballactuallylastedforthreedays.Withthehelpofthebirds,thegirl,beautifullydressed,dancedwiththeprinceonallthreenightsandtheprincefellinlovewithher.However,shebrokeawayfromhimtorushbackhomeeachnight.Onthelastnight,theprinceplacedsomethingstickyonthestairs;asCinderellamadeherescape,ashoegotstuckonit.Herenowiswherethestorybecomesunpleasant:whentheprincewenttothehouselookingforthegirlwhosefootfittheshoe,thewicked(邪恶的)stepmothertoldoneofhertwodaughterstocutoffherbigtoetofitintotheshoe.Thedaughterdidastold.Sotheprincetookherawaytobehisbride.But,whentheypassedthetombofCinderella'smother,thebirdscalledouttotheprince，“Turnandpeep,there'sbloodwithintheshoe；Theshoeistoosmall,thetruebridewaitsforyou.”Realizinghehadbeentricked,theprincereturnedthedaughtertohermother.Theotherthenhadtocutoffpartofherheelinordertofitintotheshoe,withthesameresult.OnlyCinderella'sfootfitperfectlyandsotheprincechosetomarryher.Thestoryendswiththeweddingday;asCinderella'stwostepsistersfollowedher,pretendingtobedevotedtohersothattheycouldenjoytheking'sriches,twobirdsflewbyandplucked(啄)outtheireyes.Becauseoftheirwickednessandfalsehood,theyhadtospendtherestoftheirdaysblind.TheoriginalCinderellaissodifferentfromtheDisneyversion.ThankgoodnessDisneymadesuchchanges;itindeedwasawisemove.文章大意：WaltDisney在动画电影当中所创造的灰姑娘与原著当中的灰姑娘的情节很不一样，原著当中，灰姑娘的生活很不幸，继母及继母的两个女儿都对灰姑娘很残忍。当然，我们还是应该感谢WaltDisney所作出的改变。60．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“They”inthefirstparagraphreferto?A．Suchwonderfulthings.B．Otherwell­lovedcharacters.C．Oldfables.D．Cartoonmovies.答案：B细节理解题。由文章第一段可知因为WaltDisney将“灰姑娘”和“白雪公主”等老寓言故事改编成了动画电影，所以他们(they)这些“受欢迎的人物”(well­lovedcharacters)被自然的与WaltDisney联系起来。61．HowdidCinderellagethername?A．Thebirdscameupwithit.B．ItwasgivenbyDisney.C．Itcamefromtheword“ash”．D．Shegotitfromhermother.答案：C细节理解题。由文章第三段可知，继母的两个女儿经常把灰姑娘的食物扔进炉灰里面，并让她在这些地板上的炉灰里面睡觉，而灰姑娘的名字也由此而来。62．WhichofthefollowingisTRUEaccordingtotheoriginalstory?A．HelpfulmicegotCinderellaabeautifuldress.B．Theballwasheldtocelebratetheprince'swedding.C．Cinderellalefthershoeonthestairsonpurpose.D．Thebirdstoldtheprincethathehadbeencheated.答案：D细节理解题。由文章第二段当中的句子“therewasnosuchthingasafairygodmotherorhelpfulmice，...”可排除A项；由第四段可知王子是在舞会上认识的灰姑娘，而非在婚礼舞会上，可排除B项；在舞会的最后一晚，王子将一只鞋子粘在了灰姑娘的身上，故排除C项。由第五、六段可知是小鸟告诉王子他被骗了，故D项正确。63．Themoraloftheoriginalstoryisthat________.A．awickedpersoncannotescapepunishmentB．adevotedpersoncertainlydeservesrespectC．awell­behavedchildearnsagreatrewardD．adishonestchildcannotgetmotherlove答案：A主旨大意题。原著的结尾时继母的两个女儿被小鸟啄瞎了眼睛，受到了惩罚，所以“邪恶的人不能逃脱惩罚”。故A项正确。64．WhatdoestheauthorthinkoftheDisneyversion?A．Excellent. B．OrdinaryC．Dull. D．Ridiculous.答案：A细节理解题。由文章最后一段可知，应该感谢Disney作出的改变，说明作者对Disney的版本非常认可，故应选A项excellent“极好的；完美的”；ordinary“普通的；平凡的”；dull“无趣的；呆滞的”；ridiculous“荒谬的；可笑的”。CDoyoustillrememberyourfavoritepoemfromhighschoolorsomeotherimportantperiodinyourlife?Whyisitthatdecadeslateritstillstandsoutinyourmind?Probablythemainreasonisthatsomeaspectofthatpoemresonates(引起共鸣)withyou.Inthesameway,youtooasaschoolleadercantouchtheheartsofyourstaffandstudents.Poetryallowsustoexperiencestrongspiritualconnectionstothingsaroundusandtothepast.Thus,itcaninspirewhateverandwhomeverittouches.Thepowerthatpoetryhasdisplayedovertimeandacrossculturesactuallysatisfiesthis_common_needofthehumanheartandsoul.Asoneoftheoldestartforms,poetryhassuccessfullyconnectedvariousstrandsofhumanity(人性)fromonegenerationtoanother.Referringtopoetry,Hillyermakesasimpleyetmeaningfulstatement,“Withthiskeymankindunlockedhisheart.”Schoolleaderscanfindandmakeuseofthevalueofpoetryforthemselves,theirstudentsandtheirstaffmembers.Beyondthesimpleuseofpoetry,techniquesofpoetrysuchasmetaphors,repetitionsandimagerycanbeusedtotakeadvantageofthepoweroflanguagetotransformcommunication，createmeaningandacultureofcareandattention.Sinceschoolsaremainlyaboutpeopleandrelationships,schoolleaders，likepoets,arerequiredtoinspireandencouragethehumanheart.Theuseofpoetry—orevenofsometechniquesofpoetry—inschoolleadershipnotonlyhelpstoimprovecommunication,butalsoservestomeetthehumanneedforinspiration.文章大意：本文主要是鼓励学校领导将诗歌的力量转化到学校管理中。65．Whoisthepassagemainlyfor?A.Students.B.Schoolteachers.C.Schoolleaders.D.Poets.答案：C细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句的“youtooasaschoolleader”可知，本文主要是写给学校领导的。66．Accordingtothepassage,somepoemsareunforgettablemainlybecause________.A.theyareeasytounderstandB.theyusuallytelltruestoriesC.theycaninspirepeople'simaginationD.theycantouchpeople'shearts答案：D细节理解题。根据第一段的后两句话可知，有些诗之所以让人难忘是因为它们的某些方面能够引起人们的共鸣，同样，学校领导也可以触动自己的职员和学生的心灵。由此可知其主要原因是这些诗歌可能触动人们的心灵。67．Theunderlinedpart“thiscommonneed”inthesecondparagraphrefersto________.A.theneedtoreadpoetryB.theneedtobeinspiredC.theneedtolearnaboutthepastD.theneedtobeconnectedwithotherpeople答案：B推理判断题。根据第二段第二句的“...itcaninspirewhateverandwhomeverittouches.”以及文章末句话中的“...servestomeetthehumanneedforinspiration.”可知，这种共同的需要是指inspiration。DInrecentyears,yoga(瑜珈)hasbecomepopularwithpeopleforitsfitness.Becauseofthefocusonthephysicalaspectsofyoga,likeposturesandbreathing,fewpeoplerealizethattheyaretakingpartinanancientpractice,developingfromIndianreligion.YogaoriginatedinIndiainthesixthcenturyB．C.,whenpeopleweretryingtoanswerquestionsaboutthenatureoftheselfandthesoul.Itstartedasapracticeonlydonebyascetics(僧人).Soitwasnotsomethingthattheaveragepeopledid.Yogaisnotonlyaphysicalpracticebutalsoamentalpractice,designedtoreducethefocusontheexternal(外部),saidWhitneySanford,professorofreligiousstudies.Mostpeoplepaymuchattentiontodailyexistenceandasaresult,theyleadbusylives,whileyogaprovidespeoplewithatechniquetocutofftheirdevotiontotheexternal.SamanthaTamsaidthatpracticingyogaimprovedherflexibilityandtreatedherinjuries.“Everytimeafterpracticingyoga,Ialwaysfeltreallyrelaxedandwasinagoodmood，”shesaid.YogawasprobablyintroducedonapopularlevelinAmericainthe1960sand1970s,whenWesternpeoplebegantoshowcuriosityaboutotherreligions.Nowmostpeoplepursueyogatorelievestress,andfairnumbersofpeoplearesimplycurious.文章大意：本文主要介绍了瑜珈的宗教起源，发展以及现代人练瑜珈的目的。68．Accordingtothepassage,yogawasoriginallyperformedfor______.A．itsfitness B．relaxedandhealthylifeC．religiousreasons D．theneedofthesoul答案：C推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“...theyaretakingpartinanancientpractice,developingfromIndianreligion”以及第二段第二句中“Itstartedasapracticeonlydonebyascetics”可推测人们最初练瑜珈是因为宗教的原因。69．YogaisthefollowingEXCEPT________.A．aphysicalpracticeB．amentalpracticeC．awayofpayingattentiontotheexternalD．awayofreduingthefocusontheexternal答案：C细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话可知，瑜珈不仅是对身体和心灵的锻炼，也被作为一种切断人们对世俗与物质留恋的手段。70．Today,peopledoyogaformanyreasonsEXCEPT______.A．togetridofstressB．totreatinjuriesC．tosatisfytheircuriosityD．tobecomeahindu(印度人)答案：D细节推断题。根据第四段与第五段可知人们学瑜珈的目的是减轻压力，提高身体的灵活性和治疗伤痛，还有一些人是为了时髦，至于人们认为Mitchell(米切尔)教人们瑜珈是想把他们变为印度教徒，这只是一种误解。71．Whatwouldbethebesttitleforthepassage?A．Yoga,anIndianreligion,nowattacksAmericanculture.B．Yoga,originallyareligiouspractice,nowpopularforitsfitness.C．Agoodwaytopracticeone'sposturesandbreathing.D．Pursueyoga,learnaboutIndianreligion.答案：B主旨归纳题。文章前三段讲述了瑜珈的宗教起源，后面的内容讲述了现代的人们练瑜珈的目的，因此B项的概括最全面。A项中的“影响了美国文化”在文中没有体现；C项“一种锻炼形体和呼吸的好方法”不是本文的主要意思；D项“从瑜珈了解印度宗教”更是没有涉及。EFora400­year­oldartform,operahadabadfame:overweightactressessingingthewordswhichwerehardtounderstandinoneofthoseromancelanguagesyouweresupposedtolearninhighschool.Andwithticketscostingasmuchas$145aperformance,operagoersalsohadacertainappearanceinpeople'smind:rich,well­dressedandold.Butnowoperacompaniesaroundthecountryareloosening_their_ties_and_kicking_off_their_shoesinanattempttokeepoperaaliveandtakeittoayoungerandnotsowealthyaudience.Operaproducershavefoundthattoattractthiscrowd,theyneedtoassociateoperawiththecommonpeople.Thatmeansnoformalsuits,old­styledtheatreorbank­breakingticketprices.Andbecauseyoungpeopledon'torwon'tcometotheopera,companiesarebringingtheoperatothem,givingperformancesinsuchusualplacesasparks,librariesandpublicschools.TheHoustonGrandOpera'schoiceisthepubliclibrary,whereitperforms“mobileoperas”，shortenedversionsofchild­friendlyoperas.Thissummer'sproductionisHansel&Gretel.Byperformingsmallerversionsoflargeproductions,producersareabletomakepeopleinterestedwhilekeepingcostsatareasonablelevel.TheSanFranciscoOpera,whichwillbecelebratingits75thanniversarythisyear,isstagingCinderellafreeofcharge,keepingcostsdownbyemployingstudentsfromitsYoungArtists'TrainingProgram.72．Whichisthemainideaofthispassage?A.Operaisfamousforitslonghistory.B.Operaisonlyperformedforrichpeople.C.Operacompaniesaretryingtokeepoperaalive.D.Youngpeoplearenotinterestedinopera.答案：C主旨概括题。根据短文后三段得知，讲的是有关歌剧公司决心拯救歌剧(keepoperaalive)的行动以及具体措施(associateoperawiththecommonpeople)。73.Theunderlinedphraseinthesecondparagraphmeans________.A.breakinguptheo
