Ⅲ.阅读理解(每小题2分,满分20分)
A
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman in the street and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be very surprised, gently shaking his head and saying, “You don’t say!” I was puzzled(困惑的),and I thought,“Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about.” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? Have you ever been there?”
“Certainly! Everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is wonderful!”“Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit it.”As I went on telling him more about
11
it, he stopped me again, “You don’t say!”
I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?
“Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised.
“Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say!’?”I asked again.
Hearing this, the foreigner laughed loudly. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say!’ means ‘Really’. Perhaps you know little about English idioms(惯用语).”
Wow! How foolish I was! Since then I have been careful with English idioms.

Being shy keeps many Chinese people from getting to know Westerners. You may feel nervous about making language mistakes in front of a native English speaker. But remember, Westerners living in Asia know how it feels to try to communicate in a foreign language. They have made many mistakes when speaking Chinese.
So don’t worry about speaking imperfect English. The important thing is simply to communicate. Start talking, and find some foreign friends today.
Many Westerners value(注重)their privacy. Don’t be surprised if your new friend doesn’t want to include you in everything he or she does. This may seem strange to Chinese who worry about that their friends will get lonely.
Chinese people often expect their good friends to give advice and take care of them in many ways. If you expect this kind of care from Westerners, you may be disappointed. Why? Because most Westerners value independence. They feel insulted if others think they can’t take care of themselves. They will assume(假设)you feel the same way.
Of course, these tips are just rules of thumb(经验之谈)and may not apply to all Westerners. Each person you meet will have his or her own ideas about friendship. When you get confused,don’t wonder and worry to ask questions. Your new western friends may also have many questions about Chinese culture, and they may be hesitant(犹豫)to ask. So encourage them to ask questions, too.
11
Be honest and open to your friends. Respect each other’s differences. The friendship you make can be lifelong treasure for you and for your new friends.
46. Why do you feel worried to speak to the foreigners according to the writer’s opinion?
A. Because I am shy.
B. Because I may make language mistakes.
C. Because I have nothing to say.
D. Because I can’t speak foreign languages.
47. What’s the important thing to speak perfect English?
A. To start talking. B. To meet foreigners.
C. To communicate. D. To study English.
48. What do you think the foreigners may not be insulted with?
A. Giving advice. B. Taking care of themselves.
C. Getting care from good friends. D. Getting help.
49. What does the underlined word “independence” (Para.4) mean in Chinese?
A.独立自主 B.依靠 C.失落感 D.伤心
50. What may help you to make lifelong friends?
A. Be honest. B. Open to your friends.
C. Respect each other. D. All of the above.
Ⅳ.任务型阅读(每小题2分,满分10分)
Reading for pleasure is the easiest way to become a better reader in English. It is also the most important way. Some students say they don’t want to read for pleasure. They say they want to use their time to learn the rules of the language and new words. They say that pleasure reading is too easy.
Many experts(专家)say pleasure reading is very important for learning English. Dr. Stephen Krashen, a famous expert on learning languages, says that pleasure reading helps you learn many important things about English. Students learn more grammar and more words when they read for pleasure. They also learn more about good writing.
Dr. Stephen Krashen tells us that pleasure reading helps each student in a different way. Each student needs to learn something different. Pleasure reading makes it possible for each student to learn what he or she needs.
Reading for pleasure is not the same as studying. When you read for pleasure, you choose your own books, and you don’t have to remember everything. There are no tests on your pleasure reading books. Pleasure reading will help you:
●learn how English speakers use English
●read faster in English
●find examples of good writing in English
●learn new words
●learn about the cultures of English speakers

二、笔试部分
Ⅰ.16.B 由问句中的have和ever判断,句子应为现在完成时,故排除A、C两项。own作形容词,意为“自己的”;yourself反身代词,意为“你自己”。故B项符合题意,your own original sentences意为“你自己的原创句子”。
17.C 本题考查it作形式主语,动词不定式短语作真正主语的用法。
18.B 句意:我们现在没有很多作业,我们的书包没有他们过去那么重了。因此要用not as...as...结构,as...as之间用形容词或副词的原级,连系动词are后要接形容词。故选B。
19. D not only...but also...,neither...nor...和either...or...连接两个并列的名词或代词作主语时,谓语动词要和邻近的名词或代词保持一致,但both...and...连接两个并列的名词或代词作主语时,谓语动词要用复数形式。由is可排除C项;由从句“因为她们中的一个必须待在家里”可知,莉莉和露西两个人中只能去一个,因此either...or...“或者……或者……”符合句意。
20.B 与具体数字连用时,hundred不加-s,故排除C、D两项。分数表达法中,分子超过1时,分母要加-s。所以排除A。故选B。
21.C as if “似乎,好像”;instead “代替,反而”;even though “尽管;虽然”;if “如果”。句意:即使你不喜欢,吃健康食品也是很重要的。
22.A 第一句中if引导宾语从句,意为“是否”,所以第一个空应用一般将来时,排除C、D
11
两项。第二句中if引导条件状语从句,主句用了一般将来时,从句应用一般现在时代替一般将来时,所以排除B项。故选A。
23.D “so+形容词+a/an+可数名词单数”相当于“such+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数”,排除B、C两项。“so many+复数名词”意为“如此多的……”,排除A项。故选D。
24.C discover意为“发现”,指发现原本已存在但不为人知的事物。invent意为“发明”,指发明、创造出原本没有的事物。句意:众所周知,哥伦布发现了美洲大陆,爱迪生发明了电灯。故选C。
25.D used to do sth.“过去常常做某事”;be used to doing sth.“习惯于做某事”;C项是干扰项;be used to do sth.“被用于做某事”。结合题干可知句意为:这台旧机器被用于房间保湿。故选D。
26.C 句意:“博物馆里展出的是什么?”“由美国孩子拍摄的一些照片。”此处应选过去分词短语充当定语,通常置于被修饰词之后。
27.C so that “以便;为了”,后接从句;because of “因为,由于”,后接名词或代词;in order to “为了”,“in order to do sth.”可替换“in order that+从句”或“so that+从句”;instead of “代替”,后接名词、代词或动名词。C项符合题意。
28.D enough修饰形容词时,应后置,可排除A、C两项;可数名词复数前有many修饰时,前面要用so修饰,不能用such,可排除B项。故选D。
29.D the best way to do sth.意为“做某事的最好方法”,动词不定式短语充当后置定语。
30. B enjoy doing sth.“喜欢做某事”;instead of doing sth.“代替做某事”。
Ⅱ.31.A by介词,意为“通过”,后接动名词。use“使用”;learn “学习”;talk“讨论”;tell“讲,告诉”。A项符合实际。
32.D teacher “老师”;plan “计划”;subject “科目”;suggestion “建议”。由本段首句“这周我们向新星中学的学生询问了学习英语的最好方法”和本句后面的内容可推断空格处应填“建议”。句意:一些学生有更具体的建议。
33.C on“关于”;from “从”; by “通过”;at “在”。by reading English magazines意为“通过阅读英语杂志”。
34.C sometimes “有时”;usually “通常”;never “从不”;always “一直;总是”。由空格处所在句的后句“它太无聊了”可推断选never。句意:我从不学习语法。
35.D 本段介绍了魏明的观点,全文用了一般过去时,排除A、B两项。ask “询问”;think “认为”。D项符合句意。
36.A learn a language意为“学习一门语言”。
37.B 根据语境分析,空格处应用一般过去时,排除C、D两项。句意:他也认为看英文电影不是一个坏方法,因为他能观察演员们说话。B项符合句意。
38.D 句意:然而有时他发现看电影令人沮丧,因为人们说得太快。此处用because引导原因状语从句。
39.A join the English club意为“加入英语俱乐部”。
40.C interested和excited通常用于说明人,interesting和exciting通常用于说明物。故首先排除B、D两项。be/get excited about sth.意为“对某物感到激动”,be/get interested in sth.意为“对某物感兴趣”。C项符合题意。
Ⅲ.41.B 由第一段中的“...Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about.”可知,作者本人不知道“You don’t say!”的含义。
11
42.C 由短文倒数第二、三段可判断,问题出在作者本人身上。
43.A 由第二段中的“...if I leave here without seeing it.”可知,此处的it指代长城,here应是长城所在的中国,由此可得出答案。
44.B 由文章第一段中的“...the foreigner seemed to be very surprised, gently shaking his head and saying, ‘You don’t say!’I was puzzled...”和第二段中的“...he stopped me again,‘You don’t say!’”可知共有两次。
45.A 由短文倒数第二段可得出答案。
46.B 由第一段的第二句可知,在作者看来,由于担心犯语言方面的错误,所以一些人和外国人交谈时很担心。
47.C 由第二段的第二句可知,交流是学习语言的重要方式。
48.B 由第四段中的“They feel insulted if others think they can’t take care of themselves.”可知本题的答案。

65.Indian Indian songs意为“印度歌曲”,Indian此处用作形容词,作定语。
Ⅵ. 66.D 由上句“你通过看英语录像来学英语吗?”及其否定回答可知,理由也应是表否定的,故选D,意为“太难听懂电影(里面的)语言了”。
67.B 上文意为“写英语日记怎么样?你用那种方式学英语吗?”及回答可知,答话者认为每天用英语进行写作很有帮助。
