[答案与解析]
1.disturbing。考查形容词。句意:靠近建筑工地,学生们对烦人的噪音不堪其扰。修饰名词noise用形容词,根据句意,故用disturbing。
2.(should) be。分析句子结构可知,demand后接宾语从句时,从句谓语一般要用虚
16
拟语气,即“should+动词原形”,其被动语态为“should+be+done”,其中should可以省略。根据句意可知we与inform之间为被动关系。
3.at。atfirstsight初看时。
4.merciful。merciful仁慈。句意:这个贵族对他的奴隶很仁慈。
5.tocondemn。it做形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式。condemnsb.todeath判某人死刑。
6.morevaluable。“否定式+比较级”相当于最高级。句意:世界上没有比书更有价值了。
7.as。castsb. (assth.)选定某人扮演某角色。
8.toprovide。declinetodo拒绝做某事。
9.beingscolded。考查非谓语动词。句意:小男孩把花瓶打碎了,遭到父亲的责骂。leadto后接动词ing形式,根据句意,scold与him为动宾关系,故用beingscolded。
10.torelate。句意:该报告试图将犯罪率的上升与失业率的上升联系起来。seektodo力图做某事。
11.unusual。此处形容词做宾补。
12.tendency。考查词性转换。句意:我紧张时总是爱唠叨。短语haveatendencytodosth.“有做某事的倾向”,为固定搭配。故填tendency。
13.unwilling。考查固定结构。句意:汤姆不愿意和我们一起打篮球——他甚至拒绝出来。固定搭配:beunwillingtodosth.“不愿意做某事”。故填unwilling。
14.Gradually。句意:渐渐地,老师对学生很有耐心了。
15.havesprung。由inthepastfewyears可知此处用现在完成时。

[语篇导读]
本文介绍了人们由于价值观念的不同,导致了几种不同的消费模式,本文对这几种消费模式进行了简单介绍。
[答案与解析]
16.C。推理判断题。根据Thesnaillivesunderpressure中Theytakebiglongtermloansfromthebankinordertobuythingssuchasluxuryhouses.可知,这种性格的人高消费时不惜一切代价,故选C。
17.D。细节推理题。根据第二段Aswegrowup, wegraduallydevelopasetofourownvaluesorbeliefs.Theseareinfluencedbysociety, ourfamily, theeducationwereceiveandsoon.可知,我们的信念和价值观受社会、家庭和我们所受的教育影响,没有提到钱,故选D。
18.A。推理判断题。根据对几种人的消费行为的介绍可知,蚂蚁型的人Theyworkveryhardandsavemoneytheyearnsothattheycanenjoylifewhentheygetoldandretire.可知,他们努力工作和存钱,晚年可以享受生活。蟋蟀型的人Theyevenborrowmoneywhentheyreallywantsomething.Whentheygetold, theymighthaveproblems.Theyshouldlearntosaveandbuyinsurance.可知,他们晚年会有困难,要学会节省。蜗牛型的人Theyarehappytotakebigloanseventhoughtheyarenotsurewhethertheycanaffordit.Thiscancauseproblemsinthefuture.Theyshouldplanmorecarefully.可知,他们花钱没计划,会引起很多问题。由此可知作者不赞成后两种人的性格,喜欢蚂蚁型的人。故选A。

[语篇导读]
本文是一篇说明文。介绍了法国的近一百个火车站被放置钢琴,供旅客弹奏,以缓解他们的烦躁。
[答案与解析]
19.C。推理判断题。文章第一段描述了乘车旅客火急火燎地赶车的画面,再结合最后一段中的“SoifyoumissatraininParisoneday, perhapssomeonewillbeplayingafavoritepiecethatwilleaseyourpain.(所以,如果有一天你在巴黎错过了一趟火车,也许有人会弹一首你最喜欢的曲子来减轻你的痛苦。)”可知,在火车站放置钢琴的目的是使旅客有一个放松的旅行。故C项正确。
20.B。推理判断题。根据第四段中的“TheamateurmusicianshaveincludedIrishsoccerfansandevenbabies.(业余音乐家包括爱尔兰足球迷甚至婴儿。)”以及“Itdrewnearly900entries.(它吸引了近900个参赛作品。)”可知,第四段主要是想告诉我们火车站中放置的钢琴很受人们的欢迎,所以B项正确。
21.D。词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“or even merely damaged”可知,甚至没有一架钢琴受损,并且由下文中的“Theyaresharedandrespectedbyall.(他们被所有人分享和尊重。)”可知,画线词的意思是“故意破坏;肆意破坏”,所以D项正确。
22.A。主旨大意题。通读文章可知,法国铁路公司在火车站放置钢琴供旅客演奏和倾听,以及缓解大家错过火车的焦虑,故A项最适合作本文的标题。

25.G。考查过渡句。根据Makingabirthdaydonationtoacharitythatmeanssomethingtoyou...isagreatwaytomakeyourvaluesknowntotheworldaroundyou.前一句讲捐赠的意义,故此句应讲具体怎么捐赠,G项符合语境。故选G。
26.E。考查过渡句。根据上文中Trysomethingnew.及下文列举的Dippingyourtoesintosomenewwaters...可知选E。

[语篇导读]
本文属于说明文,无论老少都很喜欢儿歌,于是教育部为儿童整理了一份儿歌歌单。
[答案与解析]
16
48.arelisted。考查时态和语态。通读文章可知,空处应用一般现在时且“The most popular rhymes”与list之间为被动关系,故用一般现在时的被动语态,故填arelisted。
49.which/that。考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词rhymes,并在从句中做主语,故填which/that。
50.shown。考查非谓语动词。空处是动词ed形式做后置定语,修饰interest,表示被动含义,故填shown。
51.clearly。考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处应用副词修饰形容词detailed,故填clearly。
52.mostfamous。考查形容词的最高级。由空前的the及语境可知,此处应用形容词的最高级形式,故用mostfamous。
53.tocollect。考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处应用不定式做目的状语,故填tocollect。

55.and。考查连词。前后两分句Thesenurseryrhymesforchildrenhavebeenpasseddownovertheyears以及duetotheshortnatureoftheversetheycaneasilyberememberedbymostchildren是并列关系,所以用and来连接,故用and。
56.Analysis/Analyses。考查名词。对这些儿歌的分析将会反映它们被写时的历史背景。根据语境及空后的of可知,这里应用名词,其做名词时,既可作可数名词,也可作不可数名词,故填Analysis/Analyses。
57.historical。考查形容词。空处做定语修饰background,故填historical,意为“(有关)历史的”。
