A
If you’ll be taking vacation time in the coming year and plan on flying, here are some shopping tips for you. Those who fly first class and don’t care what airline tickets cost are excused from this lesson.
When to buy
If you are shopping for domestic (国内的) flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons. This is an old tip but still useful because most US carriers continue to release sales on Tuesday morning, and competitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals.
When to fly
Weekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights. In the US, the cheapest days are typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. A good itinerary (Ðг̱í) for the expensive US spring break travel period is Tuesday to Saturday; it will save you money over weekend-to-weekend travel.
Where to fly
We continue to see good deals to Boston and Denver and more and more nice prices to Chicago, Seattle and Washington, D.C. As for Europe, there have been surprising deals throughout the fall and those will continue into the winter.
Direct vs. connecting flights
Compare the price of direct with connecting flights. Sometimes adding a stop to your route will save you money. An example: an Francisco to Raleigh/Durham: $553
- 28 -
direct, $362 one-stop.
You’d better think twice about the direct flight for San Francisco to Raleigh.
Compare, compare, compare
Stifle the impulse to go to your favorite airline site to purchase tickets without doing any comparison. Example: Let’s say you want to fly from New York to London and figure your favorite US legacy carrier will get you there for the best price. Airline price: $554 round-trip.
However, the comparison site also showed a cheaper flight from the same legacy carrier ($521). See what you’re missing when you fail to compare?
1. When can you possibly find the best price for flights within the US?
A. On Monday morning. B. On Tuesday morning.
C. On Tuesday afternoon. D. On Sunday morning.
2. What does the underlined phrase “stifle the impulse” in the last but one paragraph mean?
A. Feel free to do something. B. Hold off on doing something.
C. Get well prepared for something. D. Make quick decision on something.
3. Who is the text intended for?
A. Those who usually choose first class for their flights.
B. Those who want to find suggestions on where to fly.
C. Those who are traveling during the spring break.
D. Those who are looking for the best airline ticket prices.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D
【解析】
这是一篇应用文。文章给读者提供了几个可以买到便宜机票的小建议。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段的If you are shopping for domestic (国内的) flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons.可知美国国内航班的最佳票价很可能在周二下午能找到。C. On Tuesday afternoon.(周二下午)符合以上说法,故选C项。
【2题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句子Stifle the impulse to go to your favorite airline site
- 28 -
to purchase tickets without doing any comparison.可知,没有进行任何比较去你喜欢的航空公司购票的行为……,再结合文章的主要目的——买到低价票,可推测划线部分的意思是“抑制/推迟”。B. Hold off on doing something.(推迟做某事)符合以上推测,故选B项。

Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches(沟渠)along the highway I travel daily to work.
There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. I've noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours; the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.
This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Every day I drove past the flowers thinking, "I'II stop on my way home and dig them." "Gee, I don't want to get my good clothes dirty.,." Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding tool one year for my trunk to be used for that expressed purpose.
One day on my way home from work, I was upset to see that the highway department had removed the ditches
and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, "Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done
it when you first saw them blooming this spring."
A week ago we were shocked and sad to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a serious brain disease. She is20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of
- 28 -
age and distance, we haven't been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn't help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful
memories that will bloom every year for us.
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I'll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.
4. Why does the writer want to start a wildflower garden in her yard?
A. Because the flowers bloom only in the morning hours.
B. Because she can see the flowers every day for two weeks.
C. Because the flowers can remind her of her oldest sister-in-law.
D. Because she enjoys the way of life in company with the flowers.
5. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The blue flowers in the ditches always draw my attention.
B We don't get on well with the sister-in-law in practice.
C. I never stopped to dig the flowers for some reason.
D. The sister-in-law lives far from us.
6. According to the passage, the writer will .
A. stop to find the flowers whenever she drives along the highway
B. plant a variety of flowers in the garden in her yard in future
C. get as wonderful memories with the sister-in-law as before
D. get more close to the sister-in-law in the following days
7. What is the theme of the story?
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. No sweets without sweat.
C. Time and tide wait for no man.
D. Opportunity belongs to whoever is prepared.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
- 28 -
试题分析:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了因为自己没有主动采取行动而失去了一种美丽的花儿的故事,故事我们遇见美丽的事物,要乘早行动,以免让自己留有遗憾。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers.可知作者在院子里种花是因为他喜欢花陪伴的生活。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段提到unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven't been as close as we all would have liked不幸地是,因为年龄和距离,我们并没有那么亲密,所以可以推测,作者与大嫂关系不好。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段提到I couldn't help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us我不禁看到花与我们和大嫂的关系之间的这种联系,故如果能重来,肯定会与大嫂更亲密,故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知作者写这篇文章主要是告诉人们,当机会来的时候不要让他错过。所以用Time and tide wait for no man.(时不待人)作为文章标题。故选A。
C
I.M. Pei, whose modern designs and high-profile projects made him one of the best-known and most prolific architects of the 20th century, has died. He was 102. A spokesman for Pei’s New York architecture firm confirmed his death to the Associated Press. Pei, whose designs included a controversial renovation of Paris’ Louvre Museum and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, died overnight, his son Chien Chung Pei told the New York Times.
Ieoh Ming Pei, the son of an outstanding banker in China, left his homeland in 1935, moving to the US and studying architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard. After teaching and working for the US government, he went to work for a New York developer in 1948 and started his own firm in 1955.
The museums, municipal buildings, hotels, schools and other structures that Pei built around the world showed precision geometry(几何结构)and an abstract quality
- 28 -
with much respect for light. They were composed of stone, steel and glass and, as with the Louvre, Pei often worked glass pyramids into his projects.
The Louvre, parts of which date to the 12th century, proved to be Pei ’s most controversial work, starting with the fact that he was not French. After being chosen for the job by the then president, François Mitterrand, surrounded by much secrecy, Pei began by making a four-month study of the museum and French history. He created a futuristic(极其现代的) 70ft-tall steel-framed, glass-walled pyramid as a grand entrance for the museum with three smaller pyramids nearby. It was a striking contrast to the existing Louvre structures in classic French style and was violently criticized by many French.
Pei said the Louvre was undoubtedly the most difficult job of his career. He said he had wanted to create a modern space that did not detract(减损)from the traditional part of the museum. “Contemporary architects tend to impose modernity on something,” he said in a New York Times interview in 2008. “There is a certain concern for history but it’s not very deep. I understand that time has changed, we have evolved. But I don’t want to forget the beginning. A lasting architecture has to have roots.”
When Pei won the international Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1983, he used the $100,000 award to start a program for aspiring Chinese architects to study in the US. Even though he formally retired from his firm in 1990, Pei was still taking on projects in his late 80s, such as museums in Luxembourg, Qatar and his ancestral home of Suzhou.
8. What can we learn from the first three paragraphs?
A. Pei is famous for traditional designs in architecture.
B. Pei built the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
C. Pei set up his own firm with the help of a New York developer.
D. Pei put the elements light and glass pyramids into the Louvre.
9. What is the French attitude towards Pei’s job of the Louvre?
A. Positive. B. Neutral.
C. Critical. D. Objective.
- 28 -
10. What is the purpose of Paragraph 5?
A. To explain Pei’s idea about the Louvre innovation job.
B. To list the modernity of the Louvre innovation.
C. To show Pei’s love for traditional culture.
D. To present Pei’s contributions to architecture in history.
11. Which of the following words can best describe Pei?
A. Productive and stubborn. B. Generous and persistent.
C. Hard-working and humorous. D. Tolerant and considerate.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇新闻报道,摘编自《纽约时报》,文章报道了享誉盛名的建筑大师贝聿铭逝世的最新消息,并为读者简要梳理了贝聿铭先生的生平经历,其中重点介绍了他获得举世瞩目但也备受争议的卢浮宫玻璃金字塔项目。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。结合原文第三段“…with much respect for light”(贝聿铭参与设计的建筑,都十分注重采光)及该段末尾处“as with the Louvre, Pei often worked glass pyramids into his projects”(正如卢浮宫的设计一样,贝聿铭经常将玻璃金字塔带进他的项目中),可知贝聿铭把光线和玻璃金字塔元素带进卢浮宫(也就是指在修缮项目中贝聿铭设计了卢浮宫入口处的玻璃金字塔,且注重采光),故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第四段中“The Louvre, parts of which date to the 12th century, proved to be Pei’s most controversial work, starting with the fact that he was not French.”及该段末尾处“…and was violently criticized by many French.”并结合全段内容,可知起因于贝聿铭不是法国人,后又因设计风格的问题,卢浮宫修缮设计项目成为他最饱受争议的作品,设计风格受到很多法国人的激烈批评。本题中,法国人对他参与这项工作的态度是批评的、批判的(critical),故选C。
【10题详解】
- 28 -
推理判断题。本题要求分析第五段的写作目的。上一段的内容讲述了卢浮宫修缮是贝聿铭最饱受争议的工作,且提到因古典风格与现代风格的协调平衡问题,其受到许多法国人的激烈批评。结合上一段的主题,本段中作者(记者)采访了贝聿铭这一关键问题,并引用了他的原话“There is a certain concern for history but it’s not very deep. I understand that time has changed, we have evolved. But I don’t want to forget the beginning. A lasting architecture has to have roots.”来阐述他的核心观点,可知本段的写作目的是解释贝聿铭做这项工作时的思考和想法,故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。本题要求分析贝聿铭的形象特点。文中最后一段介绍了贝聿铭将所获奖金全部用于资助中国建筑师赴美进修,可见他的慷慨大方、宽宏大量(generous);贝聿铭有着自己独特且一以贯之的建筑风格,在卢浮宫项目中饱受争议,仍坚定完成设计,晚年虽然从公司退休,但仍坚守建筑设计,继续承担项目,以上种种均可见他的执着坚定、坚持不懈(persistent),因此B项准确描述了贝聿铭。其它选项中或有明显错误,如顽固不化(stubborn),或在文中无明确事实支撑,属无中生有,如幽默风趣(humorous)。综上所述,故选B。
【点睛】完成细节理解的题目,既需要在原文找到直接的细节依据,也要在理解的基础上答题,而不能在文中摘取只言片语、断章取义就做出选择,本篇阅读的第一题是易错题,B、C选项是干扰项。对于B选项,原文中是“whose designs included a controversial renovation of Paris’ Louvre Museum and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland”(务必注意关键词renovation,意为翻修、修缮),而选项中却是“Pei built the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.”故排除B项;关于C选项,原文“he went to work for a New York developer in 1948 and started his own firm in 1955.”并未提及纽约开发者和贝聿铭自己公司的联系,只是介绍了他人生中的两段经历:1948年起为一个纽约开发者工作;1955年建立自己的公司。而选项“Pei set up his own firm with the help of a New York developer.”强行建立了两者的联系,以此来设置干扰项。因此完成这类试题,要在先有理解的基础上,从文中找出明确的细节依据。
D
NASA’s Curiosity vehicle recently recorded the largest level of methane(甲烷) ever measured during its seven-year Mars mission. The discovery is exciting because the existence of methane gas could support the case for life on Mars.
Methane has no color or smell. A special instrument on Curiosity’s Mars Science Laboratory recorded the increased gas level. The device, called a laser spectrometer, measures levels of chemical elements and gases in the Martian
- 28 -
atmosphere. In addition to methane, the instrument can record levels of water and CO2. Nearly all the methane gas found in Earth’s atmosphere is produced by biological activity. It usually comes from animal and plant life. But it can also be formed by geological(地质的) processes, such as interactions between rocks and water. NASA said the increased methane was measured to be about 21 parts per billion by volume (ppbv). One ppbv means that if you take a volume of air on Mars, one billionth of the volume of air is methane.
It was not the first time Curiosity has found methane gas in the Martian atmosphere. About a year ago, NASA announced that Curiosity had discovered sharp seasonal increases in the gas. This time, NASA said the measured methane gas level was clearly larger than any others observed in the past. NASA officials even temporarily stopped Curiosity’s other activities to investigate further.
“It’s exciting because microbial(微生物的) life is an important source of methane on Earth,” NASA said in a statement announcing the discovery. However, Curiosity’s team carried out a follow-up methane experiment that showed a sharp drop in levels of the gas. The second examination found the level was less than one part per billion by volume. That number was close to the background levels Curiosity sees all the time. The rise and fall of the methane gas levels left NASA scientists with more questions than answers. The scientists are continuing to study possible causes for the sudden increase. The methane mystery continues.
Curiosity does not have instruments that can exactly identify whether the source of the methane is biological or geological. One leading theory is that methane is being released from underground areas created by possible life forms that disappeared long ago. Even though Mars has no active volcanoes, scientists believe it is also possible that methane is being produced by reactions involving carbon materials and water.
A clearer understanding of methane levels over time could help scientists determine where they’re located on Mars. Scientists hope this understanding will come as Curiosity continues to collect methane data in its search for possible life.
12. Curiosity discovered.
- 28 -
A. the largest methane gas level ever observed on Mars
B. the existence of life on Mars
C. the reason for the increased methane
D. interactions between rocks and water
13. Why did NASA officials once stop Curiosity’s other activities?
A. To further examine the methane gas level on Mars.
B. To seek possible life existing on Mars.
C. To check the quality of Curiosity’s mission.
D. To find seasonal increases in the methane gas.
14. What can we learn from the last three paragraphs?
A. Causes for the change of methane have been proved by Curiosity.
B. Curiosity has proved the location of methane by instruments.
C. Scientists think reactions involving carbon materials and water may produce methane.
D. Identifying the source of methane has helped scientists search for possible life on Mars.
15. The passage is probably taken from .
A. a geography textbook B. a science newspaper
C. a health magazine D. a travel brochure
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
本文是一篇科学类新闻报道,文中报道了好奇号在火星上探测到有记录以来大气中的最高甲烷含量,并由此引发火星上是否存在或曾经存在生命的一系列讨论和更进一步科学探索的新闻。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“NASA’s Curiosity vehicle recently recorded the largest level of methane ever measured during its seven-year Mars mission.”及原文第三段“This time, NASA said the measured methane gas level was clearly larger than any others observed in the past.”可知此次探测到的火星大气甲烷含量是有观测历史以来最高的,A项与原文表述契合,故选A。
- 28 -
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段内容,一年前好奇号就曾探测到火星大气甲烷含量的季节性剧烈升高,而这次则直接探测到有记录以来的最高含量,并结合该段最后一句“NASA officials even temporarily stopped Curiosity’s other activities to investigate further.”可知,暂时停止其它工作,是为了集中精力更深入地检查、探测、研究火星大气中的甲烷含量,A符合题意;本题干扰项为D,根据文章内容,甲烷含量季节性升高的发现,已经是一年前的成果和事实了,故应排除该选项。综上所述,故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段内容“Even though Mars has no active volcanoes, scientists believe it is also possible that methane is being produced by reactions involving carbon materials and water.”可知,即使火星上没有活跃的火山,但甲烷也可能由碳材料与水反应产生,C符合题意;甲烷含量改变的原因、甲烷产生并释放的位置都还是一个谜团,A、B选项应排除;本题D为干扰项,根据原文“Curiosity does not have instruments that can exactly identify whether the source of the methane is biological or geological.”可知好奇号上根本没有能够准确辨认出甲烷是生物来源还是地质来源的仪器,故以此帮助了科学家寻找火星上可能存在的生命更不可能,D应予排除。综上所述,故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。本题要求分析文章的可能出处,本文是一篇新闻,报道了好奇号在火星上探测到有记录以来大气中的最高甲烷含量这一新闻,并进行了拓展讨论。因此本文属于科学、天文范畴,且具有前沿性,不可能来源于健康杂志或旅游指南,排除C、D选项;教科书一般没有在第一时间紧跟前沿、刊登实时新闻的条件,且地理教科书一般讲解的是地球情况,排除A选项。本文来自科学科技类报纸最为合理,故选B。
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。

本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了最新的研究所发现的达尔文在剑桥大学三年学习期间的生活细节。达尔文的大学时光是一生中最为快乐的一段时光,过着舒适享受的生活;他雇佣了服务员来打理他的日常家务活,从而抽出了很多时间参与社交活动或学习研究。
【16题详解】
根据下文内容,达尔文在大学里过着十分舒适享受,甚至乎奢侈无比的贵族式生活,而该空位于首段末尾,有引出下文、总领下文的作用,E选项概括为他享受了今天大部分学生梦寐以求的那种舒适大学生活,符合上下文逻辑,故选E。
【17题详解】
- 28 -
根据该空之后所接的四句话,各种各样的人在为达尔文服务,为他承担日常家务,且事无巨细,例如“a dishwasher, a clothes washer, a man who cleaned his shoes, a tailor, hatter and barber”等等。而D选项概括为“He had several people to help him to deal with the daily housework”(他请了一些人来帮他打理日常家务)符合题意,故选D。
【18题详解】
根据上一句“Christ’s College’s basic food was meat and beer.”(日常主食是肉类和啤酒)可推知,下一句可能谈及其它的补充食物。C选项说达尔文额外付钱补充蔬菜,与上一句承接,C选项中的extra与该空上一句的basic相互呼应,故选C。
【19题详解】
该空下一句内容为“Later he described this time as the most joyful of his happy life.”(后来他把这段时光描述为一生中最为快乐的时光),其中this time指的就是上大学的这个时间段。因此该空内容也应和这段时光的总体情况或概括相关,而G选项介绍了达尔文在剑桥三年时光的总花销高达636英镑,符合题意,故选G。
【20题详解】
该空上一句提到,多亏了生活宽裕,他能够雇人打理日常生活的琐碎家务;该空下一句则列举了达尔文丰富多彩的课外生活、社交活动及研究学习。因此该空所填的句子应建立这两者的联系,而A选项“And thus he had plenty of time for socializing or private study.”(因此使他有许多时间参与社交活动或自学)符合题意,逻辑连接词thus(因此,从而)建立了前后句的联系,故选A。

【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了“我”因失明而完成学习任务较为吃劲,学校把“我”安排到更低层次的班级,一开始“我”十分抗拒和排斥与这些所谓的差生做同学,但后来逐渐从内心接纳他们并让自己释然的故事。
【21题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:去年,我被安排进了一个较低层次数学班。A. physics物理;B. politics政治;C. chemistry化学;D. math数学。本题结合上下文语境是关键,下一句提到了“math skills”,因此这里对应的科目是数学,属于原词复现,故选D。
【22题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:我在这个班里面的原因,与数学能力本身没有任何关系。A. nothing无,没有;B. something某事,某物;C. anything任何东西;D. everything一切,每件事物。根据下文内容,“我”是因为失明,学习吃劲才被安排到学习层次较低的班级,而不是本身读的不好,have nothing to do with为固定搭配,意为“与……无关”,故选A。
【23题详解】
- 28 -
考查连词词义辨析及强调句。句意:学校决定,因为我完成学习任务需要花较长时间,我应该学习相对低难度的内容。A. what什么;B. because因为,由于;C. until直到;D. since自……以来,既然。本句中It takes me longer to complete assignments这一从句自身句子成分完整,先排除A;结合语境可知其表示原因,排除C;本句主干为强调句(It wasthat),because和since都可引导原因状语从句,但此时since不可用于强调句中,故选B。
【24题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:处在这个班级中的唯一问题便是我被一群“正处于学业危机中”的学生包围着。A. chance机会;B. opportunity机会;C. problem问题;D. possibility可能性。在这个班级中,都是学习不行的差生或是“问题学生”,而“我”正处在他们中间,显然不可能是一件好事,故选C。
【25题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:他们的家庭生活和我的有很大不同。A. different不同的;B. similar相似的;C. same相同的;D. abnormal反常的。“我”是因失明需要降低学习强度才来到这个班级,而他们却是不折不扣的“小混混”,两者相比可想而知家庭生活是很不同的,故选A。
【26题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:他们不断地在学校惹是生非,触犯法律。A. agreement同意,一致;B. peace和平,平静;C. trouble麻烦;D. connection联系,连接。他们不停地惹各种麻烦,in trouble with为固定搭配,意为“与……之间有麻烦,与……发生纠纷”,故选C。
【27题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:有一天,我们已经上完了当天的课程。A. started开始;B. finished完成;C. continued继续;D. left离开。想要判断此时是开始一天的课程,还是上完当天的课程,需要结合下文语境,根据本段中the teacher was still in the room的重要提示词still,可推断此时已经下课(老师下课后会离开教室,而此时还没走,这一语境下才会用still一词),故选B。
【28题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:我尝试着不去听,但这确实太难了。A. hear听到;B. look看;C. listen听;D. see看见。教室里学生们在说个不停,十分嘈杂,无论主观上是否愿意,这些噪音都会进入我们的耳朵,都会被听到(hear);而“我”所尝试去做的,是尽量不受干扰,做自己手头上的事情,主观上不去听(listen)他们聊天的内容,故选C。
- 28 -
【29题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:我尝试着不去听,但这确实太难了。A. interesting有趣的;B. impressive令人印象深刻的;C. difficult困难的;D. likely可能的。想要不受干扰,在这么多人大声聊天的环境中不去听谈话内容,实在太困难了,故选C。
【30题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:即使老师还在教室里,那也没法阻止他们讨论(这个周末)他们所去过的聚会,或者他们如何一醉方休。A. save解救,节省,保存;B. protect保护,防卫;C. guard保卫;D. prevent防止,阻止。老师在教室也没法防止他们说个不停,prevent sb. from doing sth.意为“阻止某人做某事”,故选D。
【31题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:我已经厌烦了他们这些有关嗑药和暴力的故事。A. violence暴力;B. peace和平,平静;C. motivation动力,积极性;D. welfare福利,幸福。结合句中的tired(厌烦的)及连词and之前的drugs(毒品),可知连词and之后所接名词也应为负面、令“我”感到厌烦的事物,故排除B、C、D三个褒义名词,选择A。
【32题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:一位嘉宾演讲者谈到了为我们的敌人祈祷。A. friends朋友;B. enemies 敌人;C. relatives亲属;D. comrades同志。根据下文,“我”祈祷的对象是班里的那些同学,在此处的语境中,这些同学显然不会是朋友,加之文章标题“Praying for Your Enemies”直截了当的提示,此处为原词复现,enemies符合语境,故选B。
【33题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:我祈祷着,并问上帝我怎样能够为班里的那些孩子(同学)祈祷。A. teachers老师;B. girls女孩;C. boys男孩;D. kids孩子。班里的同学有男生和女生,文中没有专门只谈一种性别,故排除B、C,且作者把班里同学都称为kids(如下文When I heard the kids' voices),属于原词复现,故选D。
【34题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:一开始,祈祷的内容是十分机械的。A. speakers演讲者;B. prayers祝福,祈祷(的内容);C. guests客人,来宾;D. impressions印象,观感。根据本段内容,“我”开始尝试着做祈祷,但十分机械。本题为易错题,prayer虽有-er词缀,但并不指人,而是表示“祝福,祈祷(的内容),祈祷文”等含义,故本题选B。
【35题详解】
- 28 -
考查动词词义辨析。句意:当我听到那些孩子声音时,我就会默默地对自己说。A. say说;B. scream尖叫;C. shout呼喊,大声说;D. cry哭泣,喊叫,大声说出。修饰本题动词的副词为silently(默默地,静静地),且根据上下文语境,引号内容Dear God, please bless so-and-so…为作者的祷告,故任何大声哭、喊、叫的动词都不符合语境,只有say符合题意,故选A。
【36题详解】
考查连词词义辨析。句意:随着时间的推移,于我而言,我的同学已经变得不只是恼人的小孩了(我已经不再把他们当做令人讨厌的小孩了)。A. Though虽然;B. When当……的时候;C. As随着;D. After在……之后。根据语境,我内心看法的变化是随着时间推移进行的,as time goes by为常用搭配,其中as表示随着,故选C。
【37题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:对于他们,在我心中已经有些东西在生根发芽了(我对他们的看法正逐渐改变)。A. head头;B. heart心脏,内心;C. body身体;D. eyes眼睛。根据语境,作者表达的是在内心深处,自己的想法发生改变,可用inside my heart/in my mind表达,但不可用inside my head,故本题选B。
【38题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:我感觉他们开始像家人一样,我也开始尝试着用一种之前从未想过有可能的方式去爱他们。A. love爱;B. hate恨;C. think思考;D. arrest逮捕。“我”对同学的态度已悄然发生改变,与family一词对应,此处应使用love,故选A。
【39题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:我感觉他们开始像家人一样,我也开始尝试着用一种之前从未想过有可能的方式去爱他们。A. impossible不可能的;B. absent缺席的;C. adequate充足的,胜任的;D. possible可能的。“我”现在的态度与之前相比简直是天壤之别,对于之前的“我”来说,现在的态度是完全不可能的,又因为句中的never(从不)表否定,此处应使用possible,故选D。
【40题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:祷告,正是一个基督徒拥有的最有力的工具。A. responsibility责任;B. legend传奇;C. custom习惯,风俗;D. tool工具。完成本题的关键是修饰该空名词的形容词powerful(强有力的,有效的),并结合语境和句意,可知只有tool能与其搭配,故选D。

【点睛】完形填空十分注重考查词义辨析,需要在了解单词含义的基础上,深入掌握单词的用法,才能准确答题,且词义辨析题会覆盖各种词性。本篇完形填空的第3小题出现了针对连词because和since的辨析,两者都可表示“因为,由于”,此时它们都为连词。但实际上,再加上as,三者用法值得辨析。
(1)关于 because:语气最强,表示直接原因,可用于回答why提出的问题、引导表语从句、用于强调句等,而其余两者均不行:
——Why didn't he come?(他为什么没来?)
——Because he was ill.(因为他病了。)
My stomach hurts because I have eaten too many apples. 我肚子痛,因为苹果吃得太多。
That's because you can't appreciate music. 那是因为你不能欣赏音乐。
It is because he is honest that I like him. 正是因为他的诚实我才喜欢他。
(2)关于since和as:
a. 两者所表示的原因都是人们已知的,即对已知事实提供理由,而不是表示直接原因。since比as语气稍强,且比as略为正式,它们引导的从句通常放在主句之前,有时也放在主句之后:
As you weren't there, I left a message. 由于你不在那儿,我留了个口信。
Since you are wrong, you should apologize. 你既然错了,就应该道歉。
b. since可用于省略句,而其他两者不行:
Since so, I have nothing to say. 既然如此,我无话可说。

The other day I as well as my parents was eating in a restaurant while we noticed a foreigner coming in. He seats himself at a table by the window. Soon a waitress came and wanted to take order. However, the foreigner couldn't got his needs across. Seen this, I went up immediate to offer some help. We communicated with simple English for a moment but I later knew why the waitress couldn't understand him. The foreigner actually wanted a roast Beijing duck, but he had a wrong Chinese pronounce. Hearing my explanation, the waitress couldn't help to laughing. The foreigner himself also laughed.
【答案】1.while→when
2.seats→seated
3.take后加his
4.got→get
5.Seen → Seeing
6.immediate→immediately
7.with→in
8.but→and
9.pronounce --pronunciation
10.去掉to
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文,文中的“我”与父母在饭店用餐,偶遇一个外国人。因与服务员交流不畅,“我”上前去尝试用简单的英语和外国人交流。原来,他只是想点北京烤鸭,因弄错了中文发音而一直未能点餐成功。
- 28 -
【详解】1.考查时间状语从句引导词。when/while均为引导词,但while引导的从句只能使用持续性动词和进行时态,when引导的从句则还可以接瞬间动词,使用一般时。本句中notice为瞬间动词,“注意到一个外国人进来”也不是持续进行的动作,故将while改为when。
2.考查时态。文章讲述的是一个过去的故事,全文使用过去时,因而此处“坐下”也是过去发生的动作,故将seats改为seated。
3.考查固定短语。本句主语为a waitress(一个女服务员),服务员拿来菜单给/为某人点菜,向某人卖菜,应使用固定短语take one’s order,此处少了one’s的成分,故在take后加his。
4.考查情态动词相关语法。句子中的couldn’t为情态动词can的过去否定形式,情态动词后应使用动词原形,故将got改为get。
5.非谓语动词。本句中的主语I和状语成分see this构成主动关系,应使用现在分词作伴随状语,故将Seen改为Seeing。
6.考查副词。句中went up为动词短语,意为“走上前去”,修饰动词(短语)应使用副词而不是形容词,故将immediate改为immediately。
7.考查介词。使用某种语言进行交流,介词应使用in,本句中为“communicated in simple English”,也即使用简单的英语进行沟通,故将with改为in。
8.考查连词。本句是一个复合句,使用连词链接前后分句。前后分句的意思分别为“我们用简单的英语沟通了一会儿”及“稍后我便知道服务员为什么不能理解他所说的话了”,前后构成顺承关系而不构成转折关系,故将but改为and。
9.考查名词。本句中“a wrong Chinese”为一个冠词,两个形容词,其修饰的应是名词,意为“一个错误的汉语发音”,故将pronounce改为pronunciation。
10.考查固定搭配。“忍不住做某事”的对应英文短语是“can’t help doing sth.”,help后接现在分词,这是一个固定搭配,故本句中需要去掉to。

Dear John,
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dear John,
How’s everything going recently? It seems to be 6 years since we last met. From our daily chat, I have learned that you are a real fan of China.
As we know, great changes, especially in traffic, tourism, shopping and so on have taken place in China in recent years, making Chinese people’s life more and more wonderful. However, personally, the greatest change is the way to communicate with people.
In the past, we had to plan meet-ups to have a talk with someone. But with the Internet spreading so quickly, we have started to chat online. An increasing number of people, whether young or old, are used to chatting online instead of getting out of their home. In this way, it seems to be much easier to make communications with everyone in and out of China than ever before. And that enables them to know more about each corner of the world, enrich their minds and even touch their heat strings time and time again, which will probably bridge the gap between China and the outside world. How meaningful and fantastic the change is!
All in all, besides this aspect, plenty of other great and unbelievable changes can be found in China, making her a more charming and vigorous one across the world. Welcome to China. I do believe you are certainly to be amazed by her great beauty.
Yours,
Mike

这是一篇应用文写作,要求给美国朋友John写一封电子邮件,介绍中国发生的巨大变化。
- 28 -
【详解】本篇书面表达为常见的电子邮件写作题型,难度适中,完成此题主要基于平时对话题、词汇和句型的积累,但也有一些注意点需要引起同学们的特别关注。
一、仔细审题,理清层次:
仔细阅读题干的说明部分,可知其要求写一封电子邮件给十足的“中国迷”、你的美国朋友John;进一步审题可发现,题目The Greatest Change Has Taken Place Around Me含有两个容易被忽略的“坑”:第一个是change使用了单数形式,再结合题干中列出的两点参考要点也使用了单数,可知写作时只能围绕某一个具体变化去展开拓展,而不能采用列举多个变化、分多段写作的方式,这是容易导致严重失分的第一个易错审题点;第二个是题目中的“Around Me”,同时结合题干中的“我们的生活发生了巨大的变化”及参考要点中的“influence your life”,可知写作内容应是与日常生活息息相关的巨变,而非进行列数据或宏大主题的写作,写作的角度应该化虚为实,这是第二个易错审题点。此外,审题之后还应理清文章写作的层次,详略要得当,宽泛的概括和引入应该尽量简洁,争取将主要篇幅放在这一描述某个具体的生活巨变这一重点内容上。
二、充实内容,遣词造句:
写作时可结合题干提示,在交通、旅游、购物等角度上选取一个具体变化。近年来,中国在电子支付、网上购物、在线社交、高铁建设等方面取得了巨大的发展,而这些方面也是与我们的日常生活紧密相关,写作较为容易发挥。在遣词造句时,应特别注意邮件的开头与结尾,善始善终,开头有引入,结尾有结语。平时邮件书信体写作所积累的固定句型应加以使用(如最常见的I’m very pleased to hear from you; Looking forward to your reply等),核心内容写作时要特别注意适当使用从句、状语等来充实语言。
【点睛】范文内容完整,语言简练。总体上看,文章要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,作者在范文中使用了较多地道的表达,如:as we know, take place, than ever before, bridge the gap, charming and vigorous等,同时作者使用了许多常用句型句式,如It seems to be…和感叹句。全文还使用了状语、从句等来提高语言的表达水平,显示了作者很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外,文章思路清晰、层次分明,上下句转换自然,为文章增色添彩。
