第二部分阅读理解
第一节
阅读A
The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological（生态的） disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine（带状矿）. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer（层） of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.
21.What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To seek help for Nauru’s problems.
B. To give a warning to other countries.
C. To show the importance of money.
D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.
【答案】B。
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段Nauru’s heartbreak story could have one good consequence—other countries might learn from its mistakes.一句可知，作者认为瑙鲁的故事可以让其他国家从他们的错误中学到一些东西，作者的目的是警示其他国家。
22. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______.
A. soil pollution
B. phosphate overmining
C. farming activity
D. whale hunting
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。瑙鲁岛上的生态灾难是因为对磷酸盐的过度开采。由第五段中的Strip-mining totally destroy the island和Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon可知答案为B。
23. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem?
A. Its leaders misused the money
B. It spent too much repairing the island
C. Its phosphate mining cost much money
D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。由第七段中的Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollar可知，领导人投资的不明智，加上还要花更多的钱用在个人消费上，所以导致了财政问题。
24. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.
B. The leaders will ta ke the experts’ words seriously.
C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans
D. The phosphate mines were destroyed
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。考查对文章言外之意进行符合逻辑的推理能力。结合文章最后一段倒数第二句专家所说的修复瑙鲁岛所需要花的时间和钱，以及最后一句“This will probably never happen”可以推断一旦造成生态破坏，是很难修复的。故选A。

One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文)showing how it was used.
This was a huge task. So Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American Surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,”” 50 miles from Oxford.
Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contribu tors.
But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897，Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum for the Criminally insane.
Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.
In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.
Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.
25. How did Dr. Minor contributed to the dictionary?
A. He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers.
B. He sent newspapers, magazines and books to Murray.
C. He provided a great number of words and quotations
D. he went to England to work with Murray.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。考查对文章特定细节的理解和判断能力。根据第三段的第一句话Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray可知答案选C。
26. Prof. Murray and Dr. Minor became friends mainly because __________.
A. they both served in the Civil War.
B. They had a common interest in words
C. Minor recovered with the help of Murray
D. Murray went to America regularly to visit Minor
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。考查对文章特定细节的理解和判断能力。根据第五段的Murray and Minor became good friends, sharing their love of words可知，他们成为好朋友的主要原因在于他们都对词汇很热爱。
27. Which of the following best describe Dr. Minor?
A. Brave and determined
B. Cautious and friendly
C. Considerate and optimistic
D. Unusual and scholarly
【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。考查对文章言外之意进行符合逻辑的推理能力。从文章的最后一句话可以推断Minor很博学，对做学问很投入，但他同时又是一个精神病人。因此用devoted, scholarship, unusual等描述他最贴切。
28. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The history of the English language.
B. The friendship between Murray and Minor
C. Minor and the first Oxford English Dictionary
D. Broadmoor Asylum and is patients
【答案】C
【解析】主旨大意题。考查考生整合浓缩文章信息的能力。文章的关键词有两个：Minor和Oxford Dictionary，主要讲述的Mr. Minor的特别之处和他对Oxford Dictionary的贡献，因此文章的大意应该把这两个词都包括进去。
阅读C
San Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark.
The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.
The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over.
One day Peters found a dead s quirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that day’s coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会).The Council approved, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere named the bridge “Nutty Narrows.”
After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started Construction, They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose(消防水带). It cost 1,000.
It didn’t t ake long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became know in newspapers all over the world.
In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.
Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.
29. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in order to ________.
A. offer squirrels a place to eat nuts
B. set up a local landmark
C. help improve traffic
D. protect squirrels
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。由第二段中的to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by
passing cars可知，修建Nutty Narrow Bridge的目的是保护松鼠安全地过马路。注意不要选A，因为这座桥不
是给松鼠提供吃干果的地方。
30. What does the underlined phrase "teaching them the ropes" probably means in the text?
A. passing them a rope
B. Directing them to store food for winter
C. Teaching them a lesson
D. Showing them how to use the bridge.
【答案】D
【解析】猜测词义题。根据前面的guiding their young，可以推断此处应该是松鼠教它们的孩子如何使用绳索，而不是给它们递绳子，也不是给它们一个教训。
31. Which of the following is true of the squirrel bridge?
A. It was replaced by a longer one.
B. It was built from wood and metal
C. it was rebuilt after years of use
D. It was designed by Bill Hutch.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中的In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced.可知，绳索用了20年后，Peters进行了修缮，并替换上
了新的绳索。文中没有涉及是否替换的绳索更长；第五段中提到绳索是铝制的，而且是一个architect设计的，只是说Peters和Hutch开始建设，所以C正确。
32. What can we learn about Amos Peters?
A. He is remembered for his love of animals.
B. He donated $1,000 to build the bridge
C. He was a member of the City Council
D. He was awarded a medal for building the bridge.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的…a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.可以推断，Peters因为爱动物，倡导修建这座桥而被人们记住。所以A正确。
阅读D
If Confucius were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
33. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _________.
A．provide some key facts about Confucius
B．attract the readers’ interest in the subject
C．show great respect for the ancient thinker
D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。第一段落说如果孔子仍然活着并能庆祝生日的话，将会有很多的蜡烛，他需要一个扇子或很大的风才能吹灭，是为了吸引读者的注意力，让读者继续读下去。故选B。
34. What is the best title for the passage?
A．Forgotten Wisdom in America
B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C．Chinese Culture for Westerners
D．Old Thinker with a Big Future
【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是中国越来越引起世界的关注，同时中国的文化也引起世界各国人民的兴趣，很多人开始了解中国文化，这给中国古代著名思想家孔子带来新生。
35. The passage is likely to appear in _________.
A．a biography B．a history paper
C．a newspaper D．a philosophy textbook
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。本文向我们介绍了孔子思想对西方的影响，以用将来可能产生的影响，应该是出自报纸，
所以选C。
第二节七选五
Public Speaking Training
Get a coach
36 , so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that’s right for you.
Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren’t doing well. 37 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.
38
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don’ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about. 39 . As far as we’re re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
You are a special person not a clone.
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 40 . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you’re not. A．You aren’t like anybody else
B．You already do lots of things well
C．Turn your back on too many rules
D．Check the rules about dos and don’ts
E.Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough
F.The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleep
G.So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse
36【答案】E
【解析】根据ready to offer you public speaking training and courses可知，开头说的是与public speaking 有关的问题，故选E。
37【答案】B
【解析】根据so good public speaking training should develop those与空格形成因果关系，所以空格中应表达“你已经做得很好了”的含义，所以B选项是正确答案。
38【答案】C
【解析】本题位于段首，为整段的主旨大意。本段第一句中提到lots of dos and don’ts, walk away!可知，如果有的培训讲太多的条条框框的话，要对条条框框说不，所以C选项是正确答案。
39【答案】G
【解析】从Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about, 可知后一空与前一空形成因果关系，脑子里装满了条条框框只会使情况变得更糟。故选G。
40【答案】A
【解析】小标题为·You are a special person not a clone以及
treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits可以得出答案You aren't like anybody else（与众不同）。故答案选A。

第二节语法填空
She looks likeany other schoolgirl, fresh-faced and full of life. Sarah Thomas is looking forward to challenge of her new A-level course .But unlike school friends,16-year-old Sarah is not spending half-term 61 (rest)Instead, she is earning $6500 a day as 62 model in New York.
Sarah 63 (tell) that she could be Britain’s new supermodel earning a million dollars in the new year. Her father Peter 64,wanther to give up school to model fulltime But Sarah, 44 has taken part in shows along with top models wants 65 (prove) that she has brains as well as beauty she is determined to carry on with her 66 (educate).
She has turned down several 67 (invitation) to star at shows in order to concentrate on her studies After school she plans to take a year__68__ to model full time before going to university to get a degree in engineering or architecture.
Sarah says, "My dad thinks I should take the offer now. But at the moment, school 69 (come)first. I don't want to get too absorbed in modeling. It is 70 (certain)fun but the lifestyle is a little unreal. I don't want to have nothing else tofall back on when I can't model my more."
61【答案】resting
【解析】此题考查非谓语动词的形式。根据词语搭配 sb spend time (in) doing sth花费时间做某事，可知，动词要用ing形式。有关花费的短语还有：it takes/took (sb) time to do sth，sth cost (sb) money。
62【答案】a
【解析】此题考查冠词。冠词最一般的规律是：1.可数名词前面要用a或者an。2.抽象名词和物质名词前不用冠词（特指除外）。3.复数名词前不用冠词（特指除外）。此题的名词model是可数名词，而且是以单数形式出现，所以用不定冠词a。
63【答案】was told或has been told
【解析】此题考查时态和语态。考生很容易只考虑时态而忽略了语态。做题思路是：动词语态的决定是看它是否是及物动词还是不及物动词。如果是及物动词，那它后面一定是有宾语的，而且就会有被动语态的可能；如果是不及物动词，那它后面就没有宾语，也就没有被动语态了。由于动词tell可以有双宾语（间接宾语sb
和直接宾语sth），那么从这句话来看，间接宾语提前了，所以只能是被告知了。该句型为：sb be told that（某
人被告知......）。根据后面的动词could be，所以要用一般过去时（表示事情发生过了）或者与此时的关系用现
在完成时了（没有时间状语的情况下多用此时态）。
64【答案】who
【解析】此题考查定语从句，而且是用逗号隔开的非限制性定语从句。指人的只能用who而不能用that了。如果是限制定语从句的话，那么who和that都可以使用。
65【答案】to prove
【解析】此题考查非谓语动词。根据动词want的用法，后面必须接to do。这里考生必须得记住动词与非谓
语动词作宾语的固定搭配。
66【答案】education
【解析】根据前面的介词和形容词性的物主代词可知要用名词形式。介词+名词构成介词短语。以t或者te
结尾的大多是加ion构成名词，故名词形式为education.
67【答案】invitations
【解析】此题考查名词的形式（单复数）。根据前面的形容词several（几个的，各自的）可知，这里要用复
数形式。此题简单，就是直接加s即可。
68【答案】off
【解析】此题考查固定搭配词组 take a year off 表示请假。
69【答案】comes
【解析】此题考查动词的时态。根据全文的时态所知，这里要用一般现在时。时态的考查主要是根据全文来考查的，做题时一定要根据全文或者上下句来考虑。
70【答案】certainly
【解析】此题考查副词。由It is fun（主系表）得知，fun是形容词。副词修饰形容词、副词、动词以及整个句子。这里是修饰动词is,所以用副词，意思是：当然是。
短文改错
Mr. and Mrs.Li all work in our school. They live far from the school, and it takes them about a hour and a half to go to work every day. In their spare time, they are interesting in planting vegetables in their garden, that is on the rooftop of their house. They often get up earlier and water the vegetables together. They have also bought for some gardening tools. beside, they often get some useful informations from the internet. When summer came, they will invite their students pick the vegetables！
1【答案】all 改为both
【解析】Mr. and Mrs. Zhang（两个人）的同位语，因为all 是代指三者或三者以上的全部肯定的代词，而代
指两个人的全部肯定的代词是both 。
2【答案】a改为an
【解析】当不定冠词后跟着的词是以元音因素开头的单词的时候，该不定冠词应该使用an。
3【答案】interesting改为interested
【解析】英语中这类由一个动词派生出的一对形容词——v-ing 和v-ed 的区别必须搞清楚，即v-ing 型形容词
是说明事物或人的性质特征的，而v-ed 型形容词则是说明人所处的某种精神、情绪或心理的状态的。此处就
是说明人的心理状态的，所以必须用interested
4【答案】把第三行的that改为which
【解析】逗号后面的句子对前一句话里的名词their garden 起到附加说明作用，因此它是英语中的非限制性定
语从句，其引导从句的关系词按规则不可以使用that ，代指物的时候只能使用which 。
5【答案】把earlier 改为early
【解析】语境中没有进行比较的过程就不需要用比较级，应该使用原级。
6【答案】把第四行的for 删掉
【解析】这是英语中动宾关系表达错误。按规则，不及物动词接宾语时需要添加一个适当的介词以使动词呈现及物性，但是英语中及物动词直接接宾语，加个介词反而是多余的。bought 是及物动词，所以for 必须去掉。 7【答案】把beside 改为besides
【解析】此题是考查形似词的辨析，beside 是介词，意思是“在…旁边”；而besides是连接副词，用在两个
独立句之间，起到表达两句之间逻辑关系的作用，意思是“此外，而且”。
8【答案】把informations 改为information
【解析】information （信息）在英语中是永久性不可数名词，从来不能用复数形式。
9【答案】把came 改为comes
【解析】此题为动词时态运用错误。本句意思是“每当夏季到来的时候，他们就会邀请他们的学生采摘蔬菜”。同时结合语境，明显可见本句是谈现实平常的做法的，故come 不应该使用用来说明过去时间事件的一般过去时，而应该使用一般现在时。兼顾主谓一致的考虑答案是把came 改为comes 。
10【答案】在pick 前边加上to
【解析】动词处理题，分清谓与非谓。pick 是非谓语动词，在句中作宾语补足语，和谓语动词invite 关联。
我们通常说invite somebody to do something，所以应该使用pick 的不定式的形式
单词填空
81. This painting is beautiful beyond ____________（描述）
【答案】description
【解析】beyond 为介词，介词后面跟名词形式，所以应将“描述”的动词“describe”转换为名词
“description”。
82. I like his ________（解释）to the grammar, because it’s clear and easy to understand.
【答案】explanation
【解析】his为形容词性物主代词，后面应接名词。故将“解释”的动词“explain”转换为“explanation”
83. We saw _________（被遗弃的）farms which were built more than a hundred years.
【答案】abandoned
【解析】考察非谓语动词。“farm”和“遗弃”之间构成被动，故填“abandoned”。
84. Some of our class don’t like her, but most of us really ________（欣赏）her because her teaching is so well organised and clear.
【答案】explanation
【解析】考察课本基础单词，主语后面直接跟动词，又因主语为复数，故填“appreciate”。
85. He was _________（录取）to Beijing University.
【答案】admitted
【解析】考察一般过去时的被动。被动结构为“was/were +done”,故填“admitted”
