But now if you wear a pair of UGG boots, you won’t be troubled by that.‎ UGG means Australian Sheepskin Boots. UGG boots became popular among shearers (剪羊毛的人) in the 1920s.The shearers sheared the sheep and grabbed a bit of dead sheep, wrapped it around their feet and called them “Ugly Boots”. Good old Australian slang shortened Shearers Ugly Boots to UGG boots. Thus UGG Boots date back as far as the 1920s in Australia.‎ UGG boots became so popular because of the amazing amount of comfort they bring to the feet. The sheepskin is made incredibly soft so the boots are warm and comfortable. UGG boots felt more like socks than shoes, yet they are tough enough for outdoor wear.‎ Our UGG boots are handmade with Australian sheepskin of the highest quality by our factory of UGG Original Pty Ltd.‎ We can wear UGG boots in cold weather or summer. In cold weather, the thick wool of UGG ‎ boots provides a preventing layer of warmth by trapping your body heat. In the heat of summer, the natural fibres of the wool will actually cool your feet by absorbing sweat. UGG boots are made to be worn barefoot to maximize the cushioning and warmth provided by the sheepskin.‎ Why not pick up your phone and contact us right now at www.uggoriginal.com.au.?‎ ‎1. Who made the first pair of UGG boots according to the passage?‎ A. Shearers. B. Travelers. C. Workers. D. Campers.‎ ‎2. Which of the following words can be used to describe the UGG boots?‎ A. Ugly and hard. B. Comfortable and warm.‎ C. Strong and warm. D. Cheap and tough.‎ ‎3. The purpose of writing the passage is to ________.‎ A. persuade B. advertise C. inform D. instruct ‎【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B ‎【1题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的UGG means Australian Sheepskin Boots. UGG boots became popular among shearers (剪羊毛的人) in the 1920s.The shearers sheared the sheep and grabbed a bit of dead sheep, wrapped it around their feet and called them “Ugly Boots”. Good old Australian slang shortened Shearers Ugly Boots to UGG boots.可知，UGG是指澳大利亚羊皮靴。20世纪20年代，长筒靴在剪毛的人中很流行，剪毛的人剪羊毛，裹在脚上，称之为“丑靴”。由此推知，第一双UGG靴子是由剪羊毛的人制作的。故选A。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的UGG boots became so popular because of the amazing amount of comfort they bring to the feet. The sheepskin is made incredibly soft so the boots are warm and comfortable.可知，UGG靴子之所以如此流行，是因为它能给双脚带来惊人的舒适感，羊皮做得非常柔软，所以靴子既暖和又舒适。由此可知，UGG靴子是温暖舒适的。故选B。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的Why not pick up your phone and contact us right now at www.uggoriginal.com.au.?(为什么不现在就拿起你的电话，在www.uggoriginal.com.au.上联系我们呢？)可知，这篇文章的目的是为UGG靴子做广告。故选B。‎ B Have you heard about Post Office Cats in Britain? They are mouse hunters. The post office has actually employed cats since 1868. They are not employed to sort or deliver mail, of course, but to protect the mail and keep the population of mice under control. They make sure your morning post arrives free from damages caused by rats and mice.‎ London post offices were the first to try out the experiment. Within a few months the population of mice had shrunk sharply. Other post offices all over the country were soon using cats in the war against rats and mice as well. Within ten years the pay of the cats was improved from one and a half old pence a day to six or nine pence a day. Now the average rate of pay is about a few pounds a month.‎ Some of the hard-working cats have become quite famous. In 1980, a cat named Lucky stopped an attempted robbery in a Worcestershire post office on her own. As the two burglars made their way in through the window, Lucky started an attack and they fled empty-handed. Another excellent cat was Jerry, of Earls Court post office in London. He served the building for 16 years and was on duty for 24 hours every day. He drove all the mice away.‎ However, there are fewer cats employed by the post office than at any time in the past. With the faster movement of the mail and better surroundings, post office cats are not always needed. But many post offices still employ them and they become great friends with the postmen. According to the post office, there is no plan for their services to be discontinued in the foreseeable future.‎ ‎4. Cats were introduced to British post offices to ________.‎ A. help sort and deliver mails and papers B. guard the building against thieves C. keep mails and papers undamaged D. search for certain dangers in mails ‎5. The underlined word “shrunk” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.‎ A. decreased B. increased C. narrowed D. expanded ‎6. The cat named Lucky became famous because________.‎ A. She served the post office for 16 years around the clock.‎ B. She alone drove two burglars away from the post office.‎ C. She protected mails from being bitten by mice.‎ D. She was employed to sort and deliver mail.‎ ‎7. We may learn from the last paragraph that________.‎ A. the duty of the cats has been replaced by machines B. all the post offices are now completely mice free C. cats are now considered of little use in post offices D. cats will still be seen in service for quite a long time ‎【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中的They are not employed to sort or deliver mail, of course, but to protect the mail and keep the population of mice under control. They make sure your morning post arrives free from damages caused by rats and mice.(当然，它们不是用来分拣或投递邮件的，而是用来保护邮件和控制老鼠数量的。它们确保你的早报不会受到老鼠的伤害)可知，英国邮局引进猫是为了防止邮件和报纸被老鼠破坏。故选C。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的but to protect the mail and keep the population of mice under control.( 而是用来保护邮件和控制老鼠数量的)可知，英国邮局引进猫是为了控制老鼠的数量，所以几个月后老鼠的数量减少了，shrunk=decreased。故选A。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中的In 1980, a cat named Lucky stopped an attempted robbery in a Worcestershire post office on her own. As the two burglars made their way in through the window, Lucky started an attack and they fled empty-handed.(1980年，一只名叫拉奇的猫独自阻止了一起企图抢劫伍斯特郡邮局的事件。当两个窃贼从窗户爬进来时，拉基发起了攻击，他们空手而逃)可知，一只叫Lucky的猫是因为赶走了两个盗贼而出名的。故选B。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的But many post offices still employ them and they become great friends with the postmen. According to the post office, there is no plan for their services to be discontinued in the foreseeable future.(但许多邮局仍然雇佣它们，它们成为了邮递员的好朋友。据邮局表示，在可预见的未来，它们没有停止服务的计划)可知，邮局未来还没有计划停止这种服务，就是说邮局会在很长时间内使用猫。故选D。‎ C In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment , a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian (巴西的) university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at 12. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11 A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness.Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.‎ The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation:at a lunch with a friend and in a university class, respectively.He gave them an example and asked them how they would react, If they had a lunch appointment with a friend,the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.‎ In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour.In contrast, in Brazil,neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour.Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States,but also end at the scheduled time.In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00;many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions.While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil , neither is staying late.‎ ‎8. The word ‘punctual’ most probably means________.‎ A. leaving soon after class B. coming early C. arriving a few minutes late D. being on time ‎9. Why did the professor study the Brazilian students’ behavior?‎ A. He felt puzzled at the students’ being late.‎ B. He felt angry at the students' rudeness.‎ C. He wanted to make the students come on time later.‎ D. He wanted to collect data for one of his studies.‎ ‎10. It can be inferred from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation that ________.‎ A. American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes late B. neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatherings C. being late in one culture may not be considered so rude in another culture D. Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time ‎11. What is the main idea of this passage?‎ A. It is important to be on time for class in the United States.‎ B. The importance of being on time differs among cultures.‎ C. People learn the importance of time only from their own culture.‎ D. Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.‎ ‎【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B ‎【8题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第一段In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc.可知，美国人很看中约会、上课、开会准时。or前后是相同的意思，是两种不同的说法。所以punctual和be on time同义。故选D。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段叙述：原约定时间是10点到12点的课，10点时竟然没有巴西学生，许多学生10点半到，甚至还有两个11点后到。根据Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.可知，学生们来晚后只是和教授打招呼，竟然没有人因迟到道歉。教授对此感到不解，所以决定研究学生们的行为。故选A。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段的例子Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness.和第二段the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.可知，在美国被认为迟到的事在巴西却并不被认为是无礼的。故选C。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。通过美国人眼中巴西学生对准时的表现，及对此现象的调查，说明美国人和巴西人对待迟到的理解和做法不同，说明准时的重要性因文化而异。故选B。‎ D For years I have had no idea what I have been doing with my life. I was a 30-year-old lawyer in New York. But being a lawyer was never my dream or goal in life. I honestly wanted to be a ‎ writer. I have a great imagination and would write amazing stories in my head. But I always knew that being a writer was never possible for me because it was a better financial decision to stay a lawyer.‎ Recently, I couldn’t fall asleep at my usual time of 10 p. m. and when I did fall asleep I had the same dream over and over again. The dream starts with me in the ocean trying to go for a swim and I’m searching for something, but I start to drown and have no control over my body. Then a light shines through the waters and when I look up all I can see is myself in a bright white room writing a novel. Then I hear a voice say repeatedly, “Now is the time to try something new!”‎ It wasn’t just a dream; it was my opportunity to make something good out of my life. That afternoon, I quit my job at the law firm and I couldn’t have been any happier. My life started at 30, and every day since that point I haven’t stopped enjoying life. I started to write and have been on the best-sellers list for the last two months. Things have definitely turned around.‎ Change is a good thing; it gives us an opportunity to take a chance. So my two favorite words I live by and so should you are “change and chance”.‎ ‎12. From the first paragraph, we can know that ________.‎ A. the author is now 30 years old B. It is impossible for the author to become a writer C. a lawyer can be likely to earn more than a writer D. the author prefers to be a lawyer rather than a writer ‎13. The second paragraph mainly talks about the author’s ________.‎ A. difficulty in sleeping at night. B. strong desire to become a writer C. wish to have a swim in the waters D. terrible swimming experience in the ocean ‎14. The underlined part in the 3rd paragraph probably means the author ________.‎ A. regretted having quitted his job as a lawyer B. was unhappy after giving up his job as a lawyer C. was upset because he had to give up his job as a lawyer D. was pretty happy when he quitted his job as a lawyer ‎15. The best title of the text might be _________.‎ A. Lawyer or Writer B. Change and Chance C. Change and Regret D. Risk or Opportunity ‎【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B ‎【12题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由第一段“But I always knew that being a writer was never possible for me because it was a better financial decision to stay a lawyer.”但是我一直知道，做一名作家对我来说是不可能的，因为当律师是一个更好的经济决定。可知，律师可能比作家挣得多。故C选项正确。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由第二段“Recently, I couldn’t fall asleep at my usual time of 10 p. m. and when I did fall asleep I had the same dream over and over againThen a light shines through the waters and when I look up all I can see is myself in a bright white room writing a novel. Then I hear a voice say repeatedly, ‘Now is the time to try something new!’”，最近，我在晚上10点的时候无法入睡，当我睡着的时候，我一遍又一遍地做着同样的梦。我看到的只是我自己在一个明亮的白色房间里写小说。然后我听到一个声音重复地说:“现在是尝试新东西的时候了！”可知，第二段主要讲述作者成为作家的强烈愿望。故B选项正确。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。由倒数第二段“My life started at 30, and every day since that point I haven’t stopped enjoying life.”我的生活从30岁开始，从那以后，我每天都在享受生活。可知，作者当他辞去律师的工作时，他非常高兴。故D选项正确。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 标题归纳题。由末段“Change is a good thing; it gives us an opportunity to take a chance. So my two favorite words I live by and so should you are “change and chance””改变是一件好事；它给了我们一个机会去抓出机遇。所以我最喜欢的两个词就是“改变和机遇”可知，文章最好的标题是“改变和机遇”。故B选项正确。‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition(过渡) into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits are not yet accepted as a way of life. ___16___ By doing the ‎ following things, you will earn more respect.‎ Contribute to the household At the very least, clean up after yourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself. When you make a mess, clean it up. ___17___ All chores that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before. Now that you're old enough and capable, why shouldn't you contribute to the household? ___18___‎ Be responsible ‎___19___ Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework, or more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.‎ Solve more of your own problem without asking for help Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own first. The “easy way” is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help. Seek help only after you have made an honest effort to solve your own problems. ___20___ When you become a good problem solver, you increase your value to the community.‎ A. The people doing the chores before will greatly appreciate the help.‎ B. It will make your life more pleasant.‎ C. Everyone has certain responsibilities.‎ D.

Depending on the problem, 15 minutes of effort is usually a good guideline.‎ ‎【答案】16. F 17. E 18. A 19. C 20. G ‎【16题详解】‎ 前句中出现的manners和traits以及后句的句式和F选项的句式以及句中的these manners和traits恰好呼应，语义上也能起到承上启下的作用，所以判断F选项正确。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 前句讲你应该学会自己收拾卫生，而E选项This includes. But is not limited to , your dishes and your room. “这包括在内，但不能局限在收拾自己碗筷和房间上”‎ 恰好能承接上文，故E选项正确。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 本段内容是建议青少年要学会做家务活来帮助家人。所以所填句子应该和做家务帮忙有关，而且从段落安排上看，最后一句话应该起到总结概括作用，由此判断A选项正确。句意：“如果你帮忙做家务，那么先前做这种家务的人会很感激。”‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 由后句Whether they are basic things, 可以推断前句应该出现they所替代的名词，而根据下文举的例子like brushing your teeth or doing your homework 等可知C选项符合语境，能引领下文。句意：每个人都有一定的责任。故C为正确选项。,‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 在本段中作者建议人们不要轻易向人求助，要在自己努力而未果的情况下去找人帮忙，纵观选项，只有G选项符合语境，能承接上文。‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ The media has a great effect on us in our daily life.

Whoever无论谁。前文新闻中说道25-30是发明创造的年龄，但作者不同意。当然是没有人愿意认为自己超过了发明创造的年龄，这是人之常情。故选C。‎ ‎【25题详解】‎ 考查名词辨析。句意：第二天，我碰巧在公共图书馆，花了几个小时查找名人的年龄和他们的发现。A. names 名字；B. ages 年龄；C. addresses 地址；D. education教育。作者不同意新闻中提到的年龄界限，当然是去查人们的年龄了，从下文也可得到印证。故选B。‎ ‎【26题详解】‎ 考查形容词辨析。句意：首先我看了一些科学发现。A. pleasant令人愉快的；B. scientific科学的；C. last最后的；D. latest最新的。从第一空可以推断出。故选B。‎ ‎【27题详解】‎ 考查名词辨析。句意：最早发现之一，即证明不同重量的物体以相同速度下落的著名实验，是伽利略在26岁时做的。A. heights高度；B. sizes大、小；C. weights 重量；D. lengths 长度。此句指的是伽利略做的两个物体同时落地的著名实验，当然是指不同重量的物体了。故选C。‎ ‎【28题详解】‎ 考查习惯搭配的区别。句意：居里夫人在28岁时开始了她获得了诺贝尔奖的研究。A. led领导；B. meant意味着；C. stuck卡住；D. referred谈及，提到。固定搭配：lead to导致，通向，引起。根据句意只有lead to符合语境。故选A。‎ ‎【29题详解】‎ 考查逻辑判断。句意：好了,够了。A. more更多；B. none没有人；C. much许多，大量；D. enough足够。从文章来看作者已经举了不少例子来说明发明创造的最佳年龄了，即“足够说明问题了”，从下一句也可以看出，不用再举例子了。故选D。‎ ‎【30题详解】‎ 考查动词辨析。句意：然而，我想知道，那些“最好的年份”是否也适用于其他领域。A. believed相信；B. trusted信任；C. wondered想知道；D. asked问。从空后的if（是否）可知应选择带有疑问语气的动词，可排除A、B选项，在比较C、D项，只有C项符合题意。‎ ‎【31题详解】‎ 考查名词辨析。句意：然而，我想知道，那些“最好的年份”是否也适用于其他领域。A. fields领域；B. countries国家；C. courses过程；D. areas地区。从此句中的yet得知语气已经转折，前面讲在科学方面发明创造的年龄在25-30是最佳的，下文就论述其他领域的情况了，当然是other fields，从12空前的叙述也可推出答案。故选A。‎ ‎【32题详解】‎ 考查名词辨析。句意：政治领域呢？当然，要成为一名优秀的领导者需要年龄的智慧。A. agriculture农业；B. society社会；C. industry 工业；D. politics政治。下文讲的都是政治家，故只能只政治领域方面。故选D。‎ ‎【33题详解】‎ 考查基础语法。句意：也许是的，但是看看这些人是什么时候开始他们的职业生涯的。这一空格指代的内容为前一句，用does代替，这里指一般情况。故选D。‎ ‎【34题详解】‎ 考查动词辨析。句意：也许是的，但是看看这些人是什么时候开始他们的职业生涯的。A. finished 完成；B. went去；C. started开始；D. failed失败。从下文的丘吉尔26岁进入下议院知道应是“开始”‎ 他们的政治生涯。再以林肯为例，进一步说明这些人开始他们政治生涯的年龄。故选C。‎ ‎【35题详解】‎ 考查动词词组辨析。句意：亚伯拉罕·林肯放弃了乡村律师的生活，在什么年龄被选为政府?26岁。A. broke up分手，结束；B. gave up放弃；C. took up拿起。从事；D. picked up捡起。这是一个and连接的并列谓语的句子，显然前后两种职务是不能兼职的，即指林肯gave up律师职业，进入政界。故选B。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 考查形容词辨析。句意：但为什么最好的年景不在30岁之后呢? A. best最好；B. bad坏的；C. good好的；D. worst最差的。根据After thirty, I ___17___,most people do not want to take risks 可知，三十岁之后多数人不想冒险，所以此处作者质疑为什么最好的年景不在30岁之后呢。故选A。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 考查对语境的理解。句意：我想，30岁以后，大多数人都不想冒险或尝试新方法。A. bless祝福；B. argue辩论；C. guess 猜测；D. agree同意。空格显然是一插入语，各项均可，但从意思上看，只有I guess即I think最适当，因为这里只是发表作者个人的感慨而已。故选C。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 考查常识和推理判断。句意：我想，30岁以后，大多数人都不想冒险或尝试新方法。A. odd古怪的；B. new新的；C. old旧的；D. nice不错的。众所所周知，要出成果，必须要有所创新。这里take risks与try new ways是平行的，而且19空后的内容也有暗示。故选B。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 考查副词辨析。句意：而后者在九十岁时还在尝试新的绘画方法! A. still仍然；B. hardly几乎不；C. seldom很少，难得；D. never从来没有。意指毕加索90岁仍在尝试新的绘画方式。故选A。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 考查名词辨析。句意：也许我还有希望。A. advice建议；B. problem问题；C. wish愿望；D. hope希望。结合全文内容可知作者认为自己过了25-30岁这一发明创造的最佳年龄了，有些悲观。但从莎士比亚和毕加索在30岁之后还出成绩来看，作者感觉到还是有“希望”的。wish多作“愿望”讲，不合文意。故选D。‎ 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ People have all turned to sad music to make themselves feel better at some point in their lives, ___41___why does the music with double or even triple sadness help drag people out of low spirits?‎ A new study throws light on what's going on inside people’s brains when they match their music to their feelings, and it looks as if sad music can be enjoyable, rather than ___42___ (simple) depressing. Music of this sort can arouse positive memories in people’s life, thus ___43___ (lift)their mood.‎ Psychologist Adrian North from Curtin University in Australia says there exist two groups of possible ___44___ (explain) for why people enjoy listening to sad music like this---one from social psychology, and the other from cognitive neuroscience(神经学).‎ ‎___45___terms of social psychology, one idea about this is that people will feel ___46___ (good) about themselves if they focus on someone who's doing even worse. Everything's going to be okay, because this person is having ___47___ even worse day than they are.‎ Another idea from social psychology is that people like to listen to the very music ___48___ shows their present life circumstances, because this kind of music makes them feel they ____49____(understand). With their emotions ___50___(share), they definitely get a certain amount of comfort.‎ So, the conclusion again—sad music does cheer people up, and it works far better than happy music, in most cases.‎ ‎【答案】41. but 42. simply 43. lifting 44. explanations 45. In 46. better 47. an 48. that 49. are understood 50. shared ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章是关于在心情低落时人们会听音乐的原因，及相关研究。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 考查连词。句意：有时候人们会听悲伤的音乐来调整心情，但是为什么两倍或三倍于悲伤的音乐能帮助人走出悲伤情绪呢？根据句意，这里需要填表示转折的连词，故填but。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 考查副词。句意：看起来悲伤的音乐能让人开心，而不是仅仅让人沮丧。修饰形容词 depressing用副词形式simply意为“仅仅，只”。故填simply。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 考查非谓语动词。句意：这样的音乐能激起人们积极的回忆，因而改善心情。句子的谓语是can arouse，所以lift要用非谓语动词形式，doing做结果状语，表示意料之中的结果，故填lifting。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 考查名词。句意：对于为什么人们喜欢听悲伤的音乐有两种可能的解释。possible是形容词应修饰名词，explain的名词是explanation，有两种可能，所以用复数形式，故填explanations。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 考固定搭配。句意：就社会心理学而言。in terms of意为就……而言，故填in。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 考查形容词。句意：一种观点是如果人们注意到别人更糟的情况，他们会对自己感觉稍微好一些。比较别人的糟糕之后，会自己觉得好一些，所以要填比较级，故填better。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 考查冠词。句意：因为这个人比起他们来正过着更糟的一天。have a day意为过一天，day有even修饰。even是元音发音开头，故填an.‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 考查定语从句。句意：另一种社会心理学的观点是人们喜欢特定的音乐，这种音乐展现了他们的生活环境。先行词music有the very 修饰时，从句的关系词只能用that，故填that。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 考谓语动词。句意：因为这种音乐会让他们觉得他们被理解了。because引导的原因状语从句中，they ____9____(understand)是宾语从句，they和understand（理解）之间是被动关系，所以用be done，故填be understood。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 考查非谓语动词。句意：情感得到分享之后，他们肯定得到一定程度的安慰。with+宾语+宾语补足语是固定结构，share和逻辑主语emotions 是被动关系，用过去分词，故填shared。‎ 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ ‎51.‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线（﹨）划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1．每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ ‎2．只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。‎ Last Sunday, the weather were good.

A film was so wonderful that all of us were deep moved. One of my classmates said he would like to see them again.What a meaningful but happy day it was!‎ ‎【答案】were→was went后加上to book→books decide→decided 去掉because of中的of that→which A→The deep→deeply them→it but→and ‎【解析】1．考查主谓一致。句中时态为一般过去时，主语为the weather单数，be动词要用was，故将was改为were。‎ ‎2．考查动词。went（go）为不及物动词，表示“去哪个地方”，后面跟名词作宾语时，go后面要加上介词to，句中went后跟名词the bookstore，故在went后加上to。‎ ‎3．考查名词复数。book为可数名词，前面有many，许多书，所以要用其复数形式，故将book改为books。‎ ‎4．考查时态。作者在讲述上周日的事情，过去发生的事，谓语动词要用一般过去时，故将decide改为decided。‎ ‎5．考查连词。在句中原因状语从句要用because引导，because of是复合介词，不能引导从句，故将because of中的of去掉。‎ ‎6．考查非限制性定语从句。非限制性定语从句的先行词为a film，指物，在后面的非限制性定语从句中作主语，所以关系代词要用which，故将that改为which。‎ ‎7．考查冠词。名词film第二次出现，特指上句中作者看过的电影，所以要用定冠词，故将A改为The。‎ ‎8．考查副词。句中谓语动词为were moved，副词修饰动词，不能用形容词修饰动词，故将deep改为deeply。‎ ‎9．考查代词。作者和他同学看了一部电影，所以他的一个同学想再看的也是这部电影，代词要用单数，指物，故将them改为it。‎ ‎10. 考查连词。有意义和快乐不存在转折关系，不能用转折连词，是并列关系，故将but改为and。‎ 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎52.随着科技的发展，抢红包在我们的生活中变得越来越流行。抢红包给我们的日常生活添加了乐趣，但有些人整天拿着手机，为了抢红包，完全不与身边人交流。请你根据此现象就下列要求写一篇英语作文。‎ ‎1、抢红包的利与弊；2、你的观点。‎ 注意：1、词数100左右 ‎2、可适当增加细节以使行文连贯 参考词汇：抢红包 grabbing red envelopes ‎_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Nowadays, with the development of the Internet, grabbing red envelopes on line is becoming more and more popular, attracting thousands of people.‎ Some people are in favor of it because they think it is fashionable.
