五、任务型阅读（10分）
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填空。
Sue and Jim were neighbours for five years but they were never interested in each other.Then one day,Sue saw Jim’s music collection.She noticed a rare punk rock CD that she also owned.At that moment,she realized that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking.Sue said,“I thought we had nothing in common (相同) until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls.” They are now married and living with each other.
Some psychologists (心理学家) think that your taste in music is related to (有联系的) your personality.As part of a test at the University of Texas,Austin,USA,volunteers created a CD of their favorite songs.The volunteers then listened to each other’s CDs and made guesses about the CD creator’s personality—outgoing,adventurous,happy,and so on.These strangers correctly guessed much more about each other’s personalities through their CDs than through their clothes or taste in films.For example,Sue and Jim love punk music,which means they have outgoing personalities.
The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely to be energetic and talkative. People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous.
The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong (jazz) fans tend to (倾向于) be serious and intelligent while fans of classical music are also likely to enjoy jazz music and tend to be shy. The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.

二、21.C 由第一句句意“我错过了《狮子王》这部卡通片的开头”可知第一个空用定冠词the表示特指，排除Ａ、Ｄ两项； hour读音以元音音素开头，其前用不定冠词an，half an hour意为“半小时”。故选Ｃ。
22.B 由前一分句中的two sisters可知，此处指两人，而all和none指三者或三者以上，故排除Ａ、Ｄ两项；neither表示“两者中没有一个”，由关键词“is”可以判断用neither；both表示“两者都”，谓语动词需用复数形式。句意：我有两个姐姐，但她们没有一个是教师。
23.B I“我”，人称代词主格；me“我”，人称代词宾格；my“我的”，形容词性物主代词；mine“我的……”，名词性物主代词。由句意“我父母给我看了一些带来甜美回忆的老照片”可知，动词show后跟人称代词宾格作宾语。故选B。
24.D me是宾格代词；mine是名词性物主代词；I是主格代词；my是形容词性物主代词。空格后有名词movie，故用形容词性物主代词修饰。句意：《人再囧途之泰囧》是一部非常成功的喜剧，它是我最喜欢的电影。
25.C 句意为“我们正在计划为她的15岁生日举办一个惊喜聚会”。for 表示目的，意为“为了”。故选C。

30.D thousands of是固定短语，意为“成千上万的”。句意：临沂市政府正在为人们建造成千上万质优价廉的房子。
31.A 英语中常用“名词+基数词”表示编了号的物品，此时名词与基数词的首字母都要大写，Page Twelve意为“第12页”；也可用“序数词+名词”来表示此意，但序数词前一般要加定冠词the，the fifth picture意为“第5幅图 ”，故选A。
32. B 句意：母亲节在每年五月份的 星期天。由句意推知应使用序数词，根据生活常识可知母亲节在每年五月份的第二个星期天。故选B。
33.B news（消息）是不可数名词，前面不能加不定冠词a或an，故排除Ａ、Ｃ两项。Surprising意为“令人惊讶的”，surprised意为“感到惊讶的”，再排除Ｄ项。nobody作主语时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。句意：这是多么令人惊讶的消息啊！没有人相信它。
34.B cost表示“花费”时多指花费金钱，且主语通常是物；spend表示“花费”时可指花费时间或金钱，常用于句型Sb. spend(s)... on sth.；take表示“花费”时通常指花费时间，常用于句型It takes sb. some time to do sth.；use表示“使用；耗费”。由主语I和介词on可知，本句结构应为Sb. spend(s)... on sth.。故选Ｂ。

39. B how often询问动作发生的频率，四个选项中只有About twice a month.（大约每月两次）和Almost every day.（几乎每天）表示频率，故排除Ａ、Ｄ两项。再由下句“我忙于我的学业”可知，“我”在网上与朋友聊天并不频繁，故选Ｂ项。
40. D 句中已有主语it，weather（天气）是名词，故感叹句用what引导，排除B、C两项。再由下句句意“我们不能去玄武湖划船了”可推知，现在天气不好，故用形容词bad。因此选D。
三、41.A important “重要的”；expensive “昂贵的”；useless “无用的”；interesting “有趣的”。 由第一段第二句中的because it was a gift from his father(因为这块表是他爸爸送给他的礼物)可知，前文应该是指这块表不贵，但对他来说很重要，故选A。其他三项不符合语境。
42.B 根据上下文情景可推知， 这位农民要寻找自己的表。find“找到”；search“在……中搜寻”；watch“观看；注视”；study“研究”。空格后the barn作宾语,所以search符合题意，句意为“在搜寻谷仓许久之后……”。
43.D 由上下文情景可知此处表示“这位农民向在附近玩耍的一群孩子寻求‘帮助’”。ask for help是固定搭配， 意为“寻求帮助”。
44.A promise“承诺，许诺”；teach“教”；warn“警告”；believe “相信”。 由后面the person who found the watch would be rewarded（找到手表的人将得到奖赏）可知，promise（承诺）符合题意。
45.C angrily “生气地”；slowly “慢慢地”；immediately “立即，马上”；hardly “几乎不”。由此句中的 hurried（赶紧，赶快）可推知，孩子们马上冲进了谷仓，因此immediately符合题意。
46.D 本文主要叙述了找表的过程，因此watch符合题意。句意为“他们到处搜寻，但仍然没能找到那块手表”。
47.B way “方法”；chance“机会”； lesson “功课，教训”； smile “微笑”。由下文After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand!可知，这个小男孩又进去找那块表。因此可推知，一个小男孩让这位农民再给他一次找表的机会。
48.B throw “丢，扔”；send “送”； give “给”； catch “抓住”。 根据后面的came out可知该句表示“因此农民又把那个小男孩送回谷仓找表”，故选B。
49.C come“来”；know“知道”；succeed“成功”；suggest“建议”。由前句After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand!和句末where the rest had failed中的关键词failed可推知，succeed符合题意。
50.C beautiful “美丽的”；smart “聪明的”；peaceful “安静的；平静的”；quick“迅速的”。由than可知空格处与后文中的excited（兴奋的，激动的）相比较，故peaceful符合语境。句意：这告诉我们相对于在兴奋的心态下，有时在平静的心态下人们能够更好地思考。
四、51.C 由短文第二段最后一句“It was an icy morning and he looked very cold.”可知答案应为C。
52.C 由短文第二段中的“...Sam left their little house to send newspapers.”可知，萨姆早上的工作是送报纸，故答案为C。
53.A die“死”；go on“继续”；leave home“离开家”；pass by“经过”。结合上下文意思可知，pass away意为“去世；消失”，与die意思相同，故答案为A。
54.D 由短文第三段中的“However，there were no extra blankets, so Sam thought hard and took his father’s coat.”可知，答案应选D。
55.B 阅读全文可知，文章主要讲述了男孩的善举无意中促成亲人相认的故事，故答案为B。
56.A 由短文第二段中“In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year.”可知，每个日本工人每年比每个法国工人多工作513个小时，故选A。
57.B 由画线单词所在句句意“一些人在……时间工作是因为他们想要赚到更多的钱”可推知画线单词extra意为“额外的”，故选B。
58.C 由短文第四段中“In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany,
they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks.”可知，美国人每年有两周的带薪休假时间，故选C。
59.C 由短文第四段内容可知A项错误；由第一段中“They don’t have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.”可知许多人说他们没有足够的时间放松，故B项错误；由第三段中“However, many companies don’t pay overtime.”可知许多公司不给加班者额外的工资，故C项正确；由最后一段中“One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days.”可知不到一半的人享受了他们全部的假期，故D项错误。
60.A 由短文第三段中“Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours.”可推知“许多工人不得不工作很长的时间”。故选A。
61.D 在第一段和第三段中，医学专家和睡眠专家分别分析了中午小睡一下对人们的好处。由此可以推断，这篇文章摘自一本医学杂志，而不是一本故事书、一张海报或者一本科幻小说。
62.D 在第三段中，专家指出，提高工作效率最好的方法是小睡一下，但最多睡20至30分钟。
63.B 由第三段的第一、二句Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. 可以看出，专家的观点是：当人们感到困倦时不应该做重要的工作。这隐含的意思是：如果人们一直工作不休息，他们的工作就会做不好，甚至会引起许多麻烦。
64.B 在本段中，医学专家建议在中午小睡一下。由常识可知，通过缓解压力才能增进健康。由The experts say naps might improve health...（专家们说小睡可能增进健康……）可以判断reducing的意思是“缓解”。
65.A 通读全文可知，本文主要谈论了小睡，分析了它对人们身体和工作的好处，故只有A项为正确答案。
五、66.less 由第二段中These strangers correctly guessed much more about each other’s personalities through their CDs than through their clothes or taste in films.可知，这些陌生人通过他们的CD音乐比通过他们的衣服或对电影的嗜好能更多地猜出对方的性格。反过来说，也就是在测试一个人性格的时候，他/她的衣服和电影嗜好没有他/她的音乐重要。故填less。
67.likely 由第三段第一句The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely to be energetic and talkative.可知，那些喜欢说唱的人可能精力充沛和健谈。故此处填likely。
68.like 由第三段第二句People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous.可知，那些喜欢摇滚和流行音乐的人们通常独立、爱冒险。故此处填like。
69.serious 由第四段第一句The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong (jazz) fans tend to be serious and intelligent...可知，心理学家还发现喜欢爵士音乐的人比较严肃、聪明，故此处填serious。
70.surprising 由最后一段中The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.可知，心理学家惊讶地发现喜欢说唱和重金属摇滚乐的人比许多其他音乐爱好者都害羞和安静。surprised常用于指人，此处指一个事实，故用surprising。
六、One possible version：
I am a student. Though I’m busy with my lessons, my free time is full of happiness and joy. I love reading because it helps me study better. I often do some reading in the evening. I think books are our best friends. They give us much knowledge. I find reading books is a good way to relax myself. At the same time it can also help me open up my eyes to the outside world.So I
suggest that teachers should give us less homework to do so that we can have more time to read.
