隆巴德的真名叫爱丽丝·彼得斯。在1921年，她正在家附近的街上打篮球时。一个电影导演看到她并决定把她放在电影里。那是她只有13岁。这部电影是最后的几部默剧之一。她的表演是那么地好以至于她赢得了一些人的心。在16岁时，她离开学校去表演。

是派拉蒙电影公司使她成为一个明星。她为这个工作室拍了很多电影。她也和这个工作室的两个影星结婚。隆巴德和男演员威廉·鲍威尔结婚仅仅23个月。但是7年以后，她和生命中的最爱，演员克拉克·盖博结婚。它是伟大的好莱坞爱情故事。
【 解析】
相较于去年，今年的完型填空首次采用课外阅读，在难度上并没有做很大的尝试，题材上也是沿用大家比较拿手的说明文，内容与影视有关，比较能够引起学生的共 鸣，整体沿用了打保守牌的做法，相信在考场上的同学们也会觉得是so easy!从句子成分看主要涉及简单句和少量从句，从而在阅读上难度降低。再看选项词汇，大多根据上下文的提示都可得出答案，只要细心推敲，做全对是有可 能的。另外一个要注意的就是，全文的整体时态需用过去时，在选择动词时必须留心。

52题，关键词“Mr Robin ask his babies to do first”，根据文章第三段“It is time for you to fly”确定更知鸟爸爸让他们飞，因此答案选A
53题，关键词“when he flew into a tree”，根据文章第六段“He flew into a tree.”以及第七段“Oh, how interesting!”判断小更知鸟飞到树上感到有趣，因此答案选择A
54题，关键词“What else”和“learn to do”，根据文章第十二段“No, Dad, we can not sing.”和十三段“You can, if you try.”以及再接下来的两段“One little robin sang. Then they all

In northern Scotland there is a long, deep lake called Loch Ness. More than 200 meters deep, it is the largest lake in the UK. People say a big monster（怪兽）lives in its dark, cold waters. It weighs more than 1,000 kilos and is at least ten meters long. Some people say it has a heard like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people have seen it. At least, they say they have seen it.
The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend（传说）. The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twenties century. In 1933, a husband and wife reported that they saw a big monster in Loch Ness. Several people have taken photos, but at least one of them was a hoax（骗局）. During the 1960s, a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many photos and made movies, but they were never able to find a monster.
There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness, but there is also no fact that one doesn’t live. One thing is true about Loch Ness: there are a lot of tourists there.
56. In northern _______ there is a long, deep lake called Loch Ness.
A. Scotland B. Hong Kong C. Rome D. Paris
57. What do people say about the monster in Loch Ness?
A. It weighs about 100 kilos. B. It is one meter long.

C. In 1933. D. In
16
1960.
59. Why was a team formed during the 1960s?
A. To kill the monster. B. To look for the monster.
C. To catch the monster. D. To sell the monster.
60. What is the passage mainly about?
A. People that saw a monster. B. A trip to Loch Ness.
C. A legend about a monster. D. A team that took photos.
【答案】ADBBC
【解析】以往的阅读理解B篇都是课内文章，今年果然换成了课外内容，不过好在本篇阅读理解难度中等，没有为难同学们。文章体裁为说明文，介绍尼斯湖以及尼斯湖水怪的传说，除了最后一题是主旨题以外，其他几题均为细节题。
56题，关键词“northern”和“Loch Ness”，文章第一句话就指出了“In northern Scotland there is a long, deep lake called Loch Ness.”，因此答案选A
57题，关键词“people say about the monster”，根据文章第一段第四句话“Some people say it has a heard like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake.”没有答案提到has a heard like a horse，因此答案选择D
58题，关键词“the first story”，根据文章第二段第二句话“The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago”可以明显看出答案为B
59题，关键词“during the 1960s”,根据文章第二段最后两句“During the 1960s, a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many photos and made movies, but they were never able to find a monster.”，转折之后一般都是重要信息，本句转折之后为“他们从没找到这只怪兽”，因此判断他们是为了来找怪兽的，所以答案选B
60题，主旨题，主旨题的答案一般在首尾出现，或者依据文中的中心词（出现频率高的词），本文中的中心词为the Loch Ness Monster，再结合文章主体段的传说，因此判断答案为C
C
Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous
16
activities in the world: volcano（火山）surfing and land diving.
Volcano Surfing
On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts（爆发）almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano—without getting hit by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous—the perfect extreme sport（极限运动）.
Land Diving
Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony（宗教仪式）. A man ties tree vines（树藤）to his legs. He then jumps head-first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head—without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazing activity.
61. In Line 2, what does the word “those” mean?
A. People. B. Animals. C. Activities. D. Islands.
62. According to the passage, Mount Yasur ______.
A. is no longer active B. is on Pentecost Island
C. erupts almost every day D. rises 800 meters into the sky
63. Why have people recently started climbing Mount Yasur?
A. People can climb it easily. B. People can make money.
C. People can watch snow on it. D. People can surf the volcano.
64. Which of the following about land diving is true?
A. It is not dangerous at all.
B. It was first called “bungee jumping”.
C. It is a traditional activity in Vanuatu.
D. It came to Vanuatu from another
16
country.
65. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To tell people not to do dangerous sports.
B. To explain what volcano surfing and land diving are.
C. To talk about the world’s best volcano surfer and land diver.
D. To compare activities in Vanuatu with sports in New Zealand.
【答案】ACDCB
【解析】C篇应该为阅读理解中最简单的一篇，但今年的C篇较为容易，本章体裁为说明文，介绍瓦努阿图的两种极限运动——火山滑板和陆地跳级，文章结构为总分结构，包括细节题、主旨题和猜词义题。
61题，猜词义题，这道题比往年考法简单，并不是给一个新生词或者熟词生义，而是指示代词的指代，根据文章第一段第三句“But for those who are interested in adventureand sport”可以分析出，后边的从句who are interested in adventure and sport用来修饰前边的those，既然用who来引导，说明those指的是人，因此答案选择A
62题，细节题，根据关键词“Mount Yasur”锁定文章关键句为第二段第二句“Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts（爆发）almost every day”，因此答案选C
63题，细节题，根据关键词“recently”和“climbingMount Yasur”锁定文章关键句文第二段第四句“Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur tosurf the volcano.”，这句话中含有不定式表目的，因此关键点为“to surf the volcano”，因此答案选D
64题，判断正误题也是细节题的一种，根据题干中的关键词“land diving”确定本题答案来自于文章的第三段，A选项说这项运动根本不危险，不符合文章总起段说的exciting and dangerous activities，B选项根据第三段第二句话“The activity, first called land diving,”说的是蹦极最初被叫做陆地跳级，与选项相反，C选项根据第三段最后一句话“Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazingactivity.”可以看出这是一项传统活动，D选项根据第三段第一句话“butdo you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almostfifteen centuries old”可以看出这是一项起源于瓦努阿图的活动，
65题，主旨题，问写作目的，根据主旨题的做题方法，总分结构看总，因此看第一段，第一段总说文章要讲两项极限运动，因此答案选B
五、补全对话（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）
根据对话内容，从方框内选择恰当的句子将对话补充完整。（选项中有两项是多余的）
A. Don’t worry.
B. I am going to look at theboard.
C. I entered a photo competition.
D. Is there anything new?
E. Would you like to take part init?

B: Oh, you know, I am shy. I am afraid I can’t speak in public.
A: 70 If you keep on practising, you will besuccessful.
B: I will think about it. Thank you very much.
【答案与解析】：66 – 70: BDGEA
66. 问句为What are yougoing to do？ “你要去做什么事情？”，所以选B，“我要去查看公告牌（board）”；
67. 答句为Yes，此空应为一般疑问句Is thereanything new？“（公告牌上）有什么新消息么？”；
68. 答句为Life in the Future，注意此处Future是大写，为专有名词，故提问为What is the topic？“演讲比赛主题是什么？”；
69. 根据答句Yes, I’d like to，可知此处提问应该是Would you like to…?, 选E，“你想去参加比赛么？”；
70. 上一句中B对自己参赛表示担忧I am afraid I can’t speak in public，所以此处应该是对B进行安慰，选Don’t worry “别担心”。
综合来说，补全对话考察难度不高，重在基础。考生通过平时的练习，可以多去熟悉一下问句和答语所应用的情景。
六、完成句子（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）
根据所给中文意思完成句子，每空限填一词。

71. in trouble 72. look after 73. closed down 74. join in 75. go out
71. 中文意思“遇上麻烦”，关键词“麻烦”为trouble, 涉及词组in trouble 或 get into trouble，此处只有两空且前面为be动词，故填in trouble
72. 中文意思“照顾” , “照顾”为look after或 take care of，此处只有两空，故填look after

During a performance（表演）, the elephants play a number of i 88 , including the drums and the xylophone（木琴）.

Human e 89 the animals to play, but the elephants make their own songs; they don't just copy their trainers o 90 other people. There are now CDs of the group’s music which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.
81.kinds 后面出现的everything from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven可以理解是各种各样的音乐，填 “different kinds of ” 各种各样的
82.popular 根据前一句“Both children and adults love this group. ”
16
无论小孩还是成年人都喜欢说明它们非常受欢迎，所以填写 “ popular” 受欢迎的
83.also根据句意“Yes, it’s both of the things, but it’s a 83 something else”是因为上述两个原因，但是还有其他的一些东西，所以填写“ also ”也。
84.around 根据句意，“像全世界许多动物园”，需要填写我们学过的固定搭配“全世界”“around the world”
85.works 分析句子结构本句中缺少谓语动词，再根据下句话“He loves his job.”可以推测出句意他为TECC工作，填写词组 “work for” 为。。。工作
86.hear 根据下一句 “they have good hearing, maybe they can play music” 说明大象的听力比视力要好，所以填 “hear” 听
87.smart 同样根据87题所在的这句话，他们听力非常好，说明大象们很聪明。而且分析句子结构发现本句缺少一个形容词作表语的成分，所以填 “ smart ” 聪明的；机智的
88.instruments 根据后半句 “including the drums and the xylophone（木琴）.” 包括鼓和木琴，说明包括了很多种“乐器”，所以填写对应的英文 “ instruments ”
89.encourage 根据上下文Lair所说的话，大象们很有创造力，而且大象会创作自己的曲子，所以对于人类来说，是要鼓励大象们去演奏，填写对应的英文 “ encourage somebody to do something” 鼓励某人做某事。
90.or 根据本空前后两者关系 “their trainers o 90 other people” 他们不是简单复制或模仿他们的训练师或者其他人，所以根据句意推断出填写连词or。

参考范文：
Boys and girls,
I’m very happy to speak here and I’d like to talk about my grandma.
A few months ago, my grandma went to do square dancing after supper. Since then, she hasbeen in love with square dancing. Now, she is much healthier than before. What’smore, she has a lot of friends. However, some neighbors have a complaint against the people who do square dancing. They think that the music is so loud that they can’t fall asleep at night.
In my opinion, people can do square dancing because it is a good way to keep healthy. But they should think about the feelings of others and they shouldn’t make a lot of noise.
That’s all. Thank you!
