【解析】
【分析】
考查单句语法填空。
【1题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:令人难以置信的是,球迷们在体育馆外面等了三个小时就是为了看一眼体育明星。本句中have做非谓语动词,表目的应用不定式。故填to have。
【2题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:我本不想吃任何东西,但冰淇淋看起来太好吃了,我忍不住要尝一尝。固定短语mean to do sth.“打算做某事”,故填to eat。
【3题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意:我住在一对夫妇的隔壁,他们的孩子经常吵闹。本句为定语从句修饰先行词couple,且先行词在从句中做定语,故用关系代词whose。故填whose。
【4题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意:请把你所知道的关于这个职位候选人的所有信息发给我们。本句为定语从句修饰先行词information,且先行词被all修饰只能用关系代词that。故填that。
【5题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意:靠在门上的那个男孩是我们的班长。本句为定语从句修饰先行词boy,且先行词在从句中做主语,指人,故用关系代词who或that。故填who/that。
【6题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:如今,游泳被认为是最好的全方位运动形式之一。本句中主语swimming与谓语动词构成被动关系,且根据上文nowadays可知应用一般现在时,主语为swimming谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填is considered。

【点睛】定语从句的关系词的选择可考虑以下三点:
(1)一看先行词的意义,即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom,指人时通常不用which等)
(2)二看关系词的句法功能,即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分,是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose,有时也用which;作状语要用when, where, why)
(3)三看定语从句的种类,即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句)
如第三小题,句意:我住在一对夫妇的隔壁,他们的孩子经常吵闹。本句为定语从句修饰先行词couple,且先行词在从句中做定语,故用关系代词whose。故填whose。

A Powerisers
The ability to jump two meters in the air may not be something you have thought too much
about. And most people have never considered running at 30 kilometers an hour. But just stop for a moment and think about how our new product could change your life.
Your daily journey to your place of work is probably a mad dash for the bus. There is no point in taking your car because there are traffic jams, and anyway the car parks are probably very expensive or, worse still, full. Here is where Powerisers can help. It takes just a couple of minutes to put them on and then you are away, going past others or even jumping over the object which blocks your way.
That is the practical use for our product, but then there is sport and exercise. Powerisers are set to be the next extreme sport and the deep-fit tools. You can imagine the 100 meters, the high jump or basketball performed by athletes wearing Powerisers. And what better way to build your muscles and keep fit?
Our product is very simple. It is powered by a superlight spring, which uses the gravitational(重力的) pull from your body weight and pushes you with superhuman strength. There have been no records of serious injury related to the use of Powerisers, but extreme caution is recommended. We strongly advise the wearing of protective clothing, including at least a helmet(头盔).
Powerisers make you feel as if you were walking on the moon. Now we make two different models: Basic and Professional. The Basic model is designed for the occasional users and costs around $ 500. The Professional model, which is designed for the competitive use, has a strongly-made structure and different springs, though that comes at the increased price of $800. Our Powerisers are guaranteed for two years and will be replaced without question if they fail during that period. That is how confident we are.
31. According to the passage, Powerisers can help you ______.
A. get on the bus B. jump over blocks
C. relax hard muscles D. lift heavy weights
32. A helmet is recommended to users to _______.
A. prevent them from being injured
B. provide them with superhuman strength
C. Offer them the feeling of walking on the moon
D. Bring them good results in competitive situations
33. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To advertise a sports product.
B. To show advantages of taking exercise
C. To explain basic principles of Powerisers
D. To introduce the development of Powerisers
【答案】31. B 32. A 33. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款产品Powerisers的功能、用途、使用注意事项以及价格等。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句It takes just a couple of minutes to put them on and then you are away, going past others or even jumping over the object which blocks your way.(你只需要几分钟就能穿上它们,然后你就会离开,越过其他人,甚至跳过阻挡你的东西。)可知Powerisers可以帮助你跳过障碍物。故选B。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句We strongly advise the wearing of protective clothing, including at least a helmet.(我们强烈建议穿戴防护服,其中至少要佩戴头盔。)可知建议使用者戴上安全帽,是为了以免受伤。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要介绍了Powerisers的功能、用途,使用注意事项以及价格等。由此可知,作者的意图是为了给产品打广告。故选A。
【点睛】写作意图推理判断题。作者一般不直接表明自己意图,而是通过文章所提供的事实和理论依据,客观地使读者信服某种想法和观点。这种题型要求我们不仅要理解文章的内容,同时还要具备对作者阐述问题的写作手法进行归纳、总结和分析的能力。推测作者的写作意图时,不同体裁的文章有不同的写作目的。故事类记叙文的写作目的通常是娱乐读者(to entertain);广告类应用文的写作目的是推销产品或服务人们(to persuade);议论文的写作目的是阐述论点(to argue);科普文化类说明文的写作目的是介绍知识,帮助大家广闻博见(to inform)。如第三小题,文章主要介绍了Powerisers的功能、用途,使用注意事项以及价格等。由此可知,作者的意图是为了给产品打广告。故选A。
B
My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?”
Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher may have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.
“Oh,”I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? I didn’t even get an allowance. “My father is going to have a fit.”I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I was pulled it skyward. I told the truth. “I did it.”It was hard enough to say what I had.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like bird,”she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden face. “Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. It’s time we got a new one for the school anyway. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide---the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.
All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo forever.
34. From the story, we can learn that the boy _____.
A. didn’t break the window on purpose B. lacked the strength to admit his guilt
C. tried to think about what he had done D. didn’t know what the teacher would find out
35. If the boy admitted guilt, he thought he would NOT ______.
A. be punished by the teacher B. make his father angry
C. pay for the broken window D. get a bird field guide
36. Which of the following best describes the changes in the boy’s feelings?
A. Afraid--Surprised--Thankful B. Frightened--Amazed--Proud
C. Regretful--Guilty--Excited D. Nervous--Afraid--Satisfied
37. What is the lesson the boy’s teacher taught him?
A. Every coin has two sides B. Honesty is always valued
C. Bad luck never comes alone D. It’s never too late to be careful
【答案】34. A 35. D 36. A 37. B
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。一个男孩无意打破了窗户,本以为闯了祸会受到老师的惩罚,结果因为诚实承认过错,老师奖励了他最想要的观鸟指南的故事。老师教会了男孩要永远诚实。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Oh,”I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that?(“哦,”我想。是我打破了窗户。这是由于淘气扔出了一个棒球造成的。如果我承认有罪,我就会有很多麻烦。我怎么能买得起那样大的窗户呢?)以及第五段第一句“I know how you like bird,”she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden face.(“我知道你有多喜欢小鸟,”她站在那里看着我那充满内疚的脸说。)从男孩内心的想法以及愧疚的表情,可推知那个男孩并不是故意打破窗户的。故选A。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? I didn’t even get an allowance. “My father is going to have a fit.”I thought.(如果我承认了过错,我就会有很多麻烦。我怎么能买得起那样大的窗户呢?我甚至连零用钱都没有。“我父亲要大发脾气。“我想。)以及第四段My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.(我的老师从图书馆的书架上取下了一本书,我从来不知道老师会打学生,但我担心她会先打我。)可知如果男孩承认了过错,他想自己可能会赔偿打破的窗户、让父亲生气以及被老师惩罚,但是他没有想过会得到一本观鸟指南。故D选项不是男孩的想法。故选D。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三、四段男孩内心的想法,担心自己承认了过错会被要求赔偿打破的窗户、惹父亲生气和被老师惩罚可知,男孩一开始内心很害怕担心;根据倒数第二段I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide---the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.(我简直不敢相信!
我没有受到惩罚,我有了自己的观鸟指南——就是我一直攒钱想买的那本。)可知男孩得知老师将观鸟指南送给了自己后,男孩感到非常惊讶,不敢相信;到最后一段All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo forever.(那天留给的只有我的记忆和老师给我的教训。这个教训每天都伴随着我,而且将永远回响。)可知男孩最后非常感谢老师的这种教育方式,终身受益,可知男孩的内心对老师是感谢的。故害怕——惊讶——感恩最能描述男孩的感情变化。故选A。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.(只要你记住我奖励你不是因为你做了坏事,而是因为你诚实,你就不会受到惩罚。)可知那个男孩的老师教了他要保持诚实。故选B。
C
The next time you attend a social function or go to a place where people meet and interact, take note of the number of people who have adopted the same gestures and posture---the way you sit or stand--of the person with whom they are talking. This “carbon copying” is a means by which one person tells the other that he is in agreement with his ideas and attitudes. By this method, one is non-verbally (非语言的) saying to the other, “As you can see, I think the same as you, so I will copy your posture and gesture.”
This unconscious (无意识地) mimicry is quite interesting to observe. Take, for example, the two men standing at the hotel bar. They have mirrored each other’s gestures and it is reasonable to assume that they are discussing a topic upon which they have the same thoughts and feelings. If one man uncrosses his arms and legs or stands on the other foot, the other will follow. If one puts his hand in his pocket the other will copy and this mimicry will continue for as long as the two men are in agreement.
This copying also occurs among good friends or people of the same social position and it is common to see married couples walk, stand, sit and move in very similar ways. People who are strangers, however, try hard to avoid holding mutual(相互的) positions. The significance of carbon copying can be one of the most important non-verbal lessons we can learn, for this is one way that others tell us that they agree with us or like us. It is also a way for us to tell others that we like them, by simply copying their gestures.
If an employer wishes to develop immediate friendliness and create a relaxing atmosphere with
an employee, he needs to copy the employee’s posture to achieve the end. Similarly, an up-and-coming employee may be seen copying his boss’s gestures in an attempt to show agreement. Using the knowledge, it is possible to influence a face-to-face encounter by copying the positive gestures and postures of the other person. This has the effect of putting the other person in a receptive and relaxed frame of mind and he can “see” that you understand his point of view.
38. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Carbon Copying---Showing Agreement B. Developing Non-verbal Communication
C. How to avoid Carbon Copying D. Proper Social Behavior
39. What is "carbon copying" according to the passage?
A. To adopt identical gesture of others. B. To repeat what others have said.
C. To show agreement with others. D. To mock others.
40. In which of the following groups is carbon copying NOT frequently seen?
A. Married couples B. People not familiar with each other.
C. Good friends. D. People of the same social position.
41. What should an employer do to created a relaxing atmosphere for an employee?
A. Be polite. B. Avoid copying the employee’s gesture.
C. Be helpful. D. Copy the gesture of the employee.
【答案】38. A 39. A 40. B 41. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了“carbon copying(复制)”现象,是指一个人通过模仿另一个人的姿势和手势,来告诉另一个人自己赞同他的想法和态度。同时列举这种现象经常发生的场所,以及如何利用这些知识来让对方处于一种接受和放松的心态,“看到”你理解他的观点。
【38题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中This “carbon copying” is a means by which one person tells the other that he is in agreement with his ideas and attitudes.(这种“复制”是指一个人告诉另一个人他同意他的想法和态度。)以及文章主要围绕“carbon copying”是通过模仿另一个人的姿势和手势来表达自己对他的赞同所展开的,故选A。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中This “carbon copying” is a means by which one person tells the other that he is in agreement with his ideas and attitudes. By this method, one is non-verbally saying to the other, “As you can see, I think the same as you, so I will copy your posture and gesture.”(这种“复制”是指一个人告诉另一个人他同意他的想法和态度。通过这种方法,一个人不用语言就能对另一个人说:“你看,我和你想的一样,所以我会模仿你的姿势和手势。”)可知“carbon copying”是指采用和别人相同的手势。故选A。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中People who are strangers, however, try hard to avoid holding mutual positions.(然而,陌生人会尽量避免持有共同的立场。)可知彼此不熟悉的人们不常看到“复制”现象。故选B。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句If an employer wishes to develop immediate friendliness and create a relaxing atmosphere with an employee, he needs to copy the employee’s posture to achieve the end.(如果雇主希望与雇员建立直接的友好关系,营造轻松的氛围,他需要模仿雇员的姿势来达到目的。)可知雇主可以通过模仿雇员的动作,为雇员创造一个轻松的气氛。故选D。
D
Seeds on Ice
Close to the North Pole,remote and rocky Plateau Mountain in the Norwegian archipelago of
Svalbard seems an unlikely spot for any global effort to safeguard agriculture. In this cold and deserted environment,no grains,no gardens,no trees can grow. Yet at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out of solid stone is a room filled with humanity’s most precious treasure, the largest and most diverse seed collection—more than a half-billion seeds.
A quiet rescue mission is under way. With growing evidence that unchecked climate change-will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity (多样性) of crops around the world,the Svalbard Global Seed Vault (地窖) represents a major step towards ensuring the preservation (贮藏) of hundreds of thousands of crop varieties. This is a seed collection, but more importantly, it is a collection of the traits found within the seeds:the genes that give one variety resistance to a particular pest and another variety tolerance for hot,dry weather.
Few people will ever see or come into contact with the contents of this vault. In sealed boxes,behind multiple locked doors,monitored by electronic security systems, enveloped in below—zero temperatures, and surrounded by tons of rock, hundreds of millions of seeds are protected in their mountain fortress. Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain, seeds of most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are capable of retaining (保留) their ability to grow for thousands of years.
Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea, and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved and funded it. But back in 2004, when the Seed Vault was proposed, it was viewed as a crazy,impractical, and expensive idea.
We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee. But we were tired,fed up,and frankly scared of the steady, greater losses of crop diversity. The Seed Vault was built by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change. If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples those gene banks had lost, this would repay our efforts.
The Seed Vault is about hope and commitrnent - about what can be done if countries come together and work cooperatively to accomplish something significant,long-lasting,and worthy of who we are and wish to be

【答案】Dear Mark,
I’m delighted to know you are interested in traditional Chinese festival. You must have never heard of Chong Yang Festival, but it is actually my favorite. It falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. Since nine is the largest single number, it is viewed as Senior Citizens’ Day. People often do activities like going hiking and admiring flowers on this day.
As for me, I had never thought about doing anything for the elderly until I learned about the festival at school. Our teacher asked us to do a nice thing for our grandparents. For the first time in my life, I washed my grandma’s feet. I’ll never forget the sweet smile she wore and the happiness I felt.
You see, I like Chong Yang Festival not just because of the popular activities. The most important reason is that it served as reminder that I should do something to show my appreciation to my grandparents’ love for me.
Yours,
Li Hua
