张。I really envy you 我真的很嫉妒你;B.Glad to hear that 听到这个消息很高兴;C. Sounds great
听起来太好了。D. take it easy 放松一下,别紧张。根据题干中的 nervous(紧张)可推知答案为

2.The disappearance of dinosaurs is not necessarily caused by astronomical incidents. But _______
explanations are hard to find.
A. alternative B. aggressive
C. ambiguous D. apparent【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意:恐龙的消失并不一定是由天文事件引起的。但是很难
找到可供选择的解释。A. alternative 供选择的;B. aggressive 好斗的,有进取心的;C. ambiguous
模糊不清的;D. apparent 显然的。根据 but 可知,与前文意思相反,所以可供选择的解释很少。
故选 A。
3.It was when I got back to my apartment ________ I first came across my new neighbors.
A. who B. where
C. which D. that
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句型。句意:当我回到我的公寓的时候,我首先遇见了我的新邻居。根据
关键词 It was 开头,可能会与 that 构成强调句型,但需要验证,本句中去掉 It was 和 that,句
子 When I got back to my apartment I first came across my new neighbors 完整,所以确定是强调句
型。故选 D。
【点睛】判断一句话是否是强调句的一个方法是去掉强调结构,如果这句话还能够成立就是
强调句,例如这道题,去掉强调结构是:when I got back to my apartment ______ I first came
across my new neighbors..这句话是成立的,所以是强调句。除了强调句的陈述句,还需要掌握
强调句的一般疑问句和特殊疑问词的结构,还有强调句应用于名词性从句的语序问题。

上的区别。

先行词在从句中充当什么成分;考虑特殊情况。以本题为例:
找出先行词:workshop
分析先行词在从句中充当什么成分:先行词 workshop 在从句_______windows were broken 中充
当 Windows 的定语,故用关系代词 whose。

人们的健康。当主从句的主语一致的情况,可以省略从句的主语和 be 动词,If carried out=if
proper amounts of exercise are carried out。选 C。
【点睛】如果主句的主语和从句的主语一致,且状语从句的谓语动词中有 be 动词,从句的主
语连同 be 可一起省略,该类状语从句多为时间、地点、条件、方式或让步等,连词为 when,
while, though, if, unless, although, as if 等,后面通常接分词、不定式、形容词、名词等。
9.There’s no doubt ______ hard work is the key to _____ your result.

C. whether; improve D. that; improve
【答案】B
【解析】

名词。故选 B。10.— How does Jane put on so much weight?
— Large quantities of fat ____ recently.
A. are consumed B. is being consumed C. has been consumed D. have been
consumed
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:——Jane 怎么长这么胖?——最近吃了大量富含脂肪
的食物。由 recently 判断为现在完成时,主语 fat 和 consume 之间是被动关系,故用现在完成
时的被动语态,“large quantities of + 名词” 作主语时谓语动词用复数形式,故用 have been
consumed。故选 D 项。
【点睛】本题考查关于 quantity 短语的主谓一致。quantity 一般构成连个短语 a quantity of 和
quantities of,它们的用法如下:
quantities of 无论修饰可数还是不可数名词、谓语动词都用复数。
例如:
Quantities of food (nuts) were on the table. 桌子上有许多食品(坚果)。
a quantity of+可数名词复数、谓语动词用复数;+不可数名词、谓语动词用单数。即修饰可数或
不可数名词均可,作主语时采取就近一致的原则,其谓语动词通常与短语中 of 后面的名词的数
保持一致。
例如:
A large quantity of beer was sold out. 大量的啤酒被售出。
A large quantity of blouses were on sale. 大量罩衫有售。

【解析】
【详解】考查副词辨析。句意:在狗的饮食习惯被正确地建立之前,需要定期的训练。A. properly
正确地;B. widely 广泛地;C. originally 最初;D. temporarily 临时地。狗的饮食习惯不可能是
被“广泛地、最初地、临时地”建立,故选 A。12.________ who are able to work through the struggle are the ________ who are going to be
successful.
A. Someone; one B. Anyone; one
C. He; ones D. Those; ones
【答案】D
【解析】
考查定语从句和代词。句意:那些努力工作的人是那些能够成功的人。第一空根据后面定语
从句中的系动词 are 判断先行词是复数,故只能用 those;第二空同样根据后面定语从句中的
系动词 are 判断先行词是复数,故选 D。
13.My sister met him at the cinema yesterday afternoon, so he _________ your lecture.
A. couldn't have attended B. needn't have attended
C. mustn't have attended D. shouldn't have attended

加了你的讲座。A. couldn't have attended 不可能做某事;B. needn't have attended 本不必做某事;
C. mustn't have attended 无此表达;D. shouldn't have attended 本不应该做某事。结合句意可知,

A. However a serious problem B. What a serious problem
C. However serious a problem D. What serious a problem

战。根据句意可知,此处是让步状语从句。特殊疑问词+ever/no matter +特殊疑问词,可以引
导让步状语从句,又因为 however 引导让步状语从句时,其后应接形容词或副词,故 However
serious a problem 符合要求。故选 C 项。
15.—Let’s take a coffee break.
—________ We’ve been working for hours.
A. Why bother? B. What for? C. You got me there. D. You said it.
【答案】D
【解析】

【名师点睛】
解答完形填空 技巧:
1、可以根据词语之间的习惯搭配,或固定搭配。
2、结合生活,利用生活常识,去做恰当的选择。
3、运用上下文对照。解完形填空题时,单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的,需要读下句或者
若干句才能明白。所谓上下对照,即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此,
在做题时要边读边大脑中储存上下文信息的能力,捕捉关键词。例如第 2 题,根据下文“I
carefully________ the old color on their nails. As I applied new color...”可知,作者是帮助老人美甲,
除去旧颜色,涂上新颜色。从而选择出正确答案。
4、词语或词义复现。词汇复现往往会使语篇中的句子相互衔接得更紧密,利用词语的复现,
对解题很有帮助。

Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their
gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions(排放) vehicles”, but people in California
seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside
from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from
generators(发电机). Generators are fueled by something--usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated
in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal
(地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s just because the coal
is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California Greens are covering their
eyes—“If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle;
a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to
make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the
generator, through the transmission lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far—so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our
electricity came mostly from nukes or geothermal, or hydro or wind or solar, then an electric car truly
would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy
sources.
In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a
landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's
a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are
too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
41. What does “clueless” mean in paragraph 2?
A. People see the California Greens everywhere.
B. People there have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning coal, oil, etc.
C. People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells.
D. People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles.
42. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Electric cars are not clean at all.
B. Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones.
C. People cast doubts on electric cars’ batteries.
D. Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle.
43. The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ________.
A. not less than 25 miles B. as far as 50 miles
C. as far as 25 miles D. not more than 25 miles
44. According to the text, electric cars ________.
A. are more environmentally friendly
B. burn more fuel than gas-powered ones
C. are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated
D. are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill
45. It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A. being green is good and should be encouraged in communication
B. electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins
C. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environmentD. electric cars are not clean because we get electricity mainly by burning something
【答案】41. B 42. A 43. D 44. B 45. D
【解析】
本文是一篇科普类阅读。电动车真的没有污染吗?实际上并不是这样的,电动车比现在的汽
油车可能会导致更多的污染,因为它所使用的电主要是靠燃烧煤炭来产生的。
【41 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段 People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions(排放)
vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from.说明,加利
福尼亚的人喜欢谈论零排放的汽车,但是加利福尼亚的人似乎对电的来源不清楚。再根据本
段最后一句 There are a few wind farms and geothermal(地热) plants as well, but by far we get
electricity mainly by burning something.可知,该词应该指“不清楚,不理解电动车所需要的电
主要来自于火力发电”。故选B。
【42 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一句 Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might
even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.说明,电动车一点也不环保,有可能更脏。
故选 A。
【43 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中 A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get
from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far 说明,一加仑汽油可能让你的汽车跑 25 英里,
但用一加仑汽油发出来的电则不能让你的电动汽车跑 25 英里,也就是不超过 25 英里,故选
D。
【44 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段 But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you
nearly as far— so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones.可知,电动车消耗的能源
比汽油车要多。故选 B。
【45 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容可知,电动车所需要的电,是需要通过燃烧煤炭等自然资
源的,所以电动车并不如人们所认为的那样清洁无污染。故选 D。
C
In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest growing U.S. minority. As their children began moving up through the nation schools,it became clear that a new class of academic
achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities,where
mathematics,science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This
special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American
students who began their education abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics
but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after
college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because
they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate
in something like engineering than with an art degree.
Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined
that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An
effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their
children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in
Asian culture that makes success,such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a
typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the
victims of social isolation(隔离). Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all
Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
46. With making outstanding achievements at college,Asian- American students ________.
A. feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English
B. are afraid that their academic successes are not recognized
C. still worry about unfair treatment in society for their origin
D. generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents
47. What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?
A. A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture.
B. Hard work and intelligence.
C. Parents’ help and a limited knowledge of English.
D. Asian culture and the American educational system.
48. Few Asian American students major in human sciences mainly because ________.
A. their English is not good enoughB. they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas
C. there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures
D. they know little about American culture and society
49. Why do “both explanations” (Para.3) worry Asian Americans?
A. They are afraid that they would again be separated from American society.
B. People will think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.
C. Asian Americans will be a threat to other minorities.
D. Americans fear the academic achievements made by Asian Americans.
50. Before 1952 in America,________.
A. Asian Americans could not be academically successful
B. there were few immigrants from East and Southeast Asia
C. immigrants were not equally treated by Asian Americans
D. immigrants from East and Southeast Asia were looked down upon
【答案】46. C 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. D

亚的移民受到歧视)符合以上推测,故选 D 项。
D
It's amazing how we grow from careless kids to responsible teens. What happens in the course
that makes us responsible now? It’s the seed that we sow in the beginning which grows and becomes a
huge tree.
As a kid, I used to read a lot of story books. In one particular book, I read a story of a bird. It
described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female bird takes shelter in it and
nourishes the baby. When the bird learns to fly, the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me wonder. How could they
so easily sacrifice their house built with so much effort?
One night, when I was deep in sleep, I got this particular dream. I was walking miles on the
endless road, totally isolated but lined with beautiful trees on either side. I happened to stop upon
seeing something. It was a wonderful house with every corner touched artistically and lovingly. I don’t
know why I felt that it was done lovingly. Maybe because, things turn out to be beautiful only when we
put our love into it - just like the food prepared by mom which tastes more delicious with her love.
I explored the house only to fall more in love with it. There was a sloping roof which matched
with the greenery around; the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might
have taken place there which felt lively even now when it is completely deserted. The small water
body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house - of course, it was all dried up now. It's
really wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which otherwise just become structures. Such
liveliness and happening turns the house into a home.
When I woke up from the dream, I was clear about everything. I realized where that mile of walk
was intending me to lead. I realized what message my dream wanted to convey me. And years later,
when finally my turn of choosing my destination came, I simply closed my eyes. When I opened my
eyes, I was sure what to do. I decided to choose the road - less traveled. Yes, I took up architecture as
my profession because this is what I am destined to do. I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird
in the story did, to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it.
51. When the writer read the story of the bird, he probably felt _______.
A. upset B. confused
C. amazed D. amused
52. To the writer, ''the seed that we sow in the beginning'' (Paragraph 1) is _______.
A. the story of the bird B. his mother's food
C. the house in his dream D. his story books
53. Mom's food always tastes better because _______.
A. mom cooks with her love B. we are so familiar with mom's food
C. moms are better cooks than fathers D. mom is experienced in cooking
54. In the writer's dream, what part of the house attracted him most?
A. The greenery surrounding the house.B. The body of water that keeps the house cool.
C. The liveliness he sensed around the house.
D. The fact that the house was very large.
55. The above passage is mainly about _______.
A. how the writer finally becomes an honest citizen
B. where the true meaning of responsibility lies
C. what we need to do when we are seeking fortune
D. why the writer takes up architecture as his career
【答案】51. B 52. A 53. A 54. C 55. D

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight while the French, who consume rich
food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and
decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating
when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV
show is over.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of
their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans
see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans
lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and
frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers'
markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for
each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women. Don’t Get Fat,
decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid
food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting
French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast
food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children
has been growing.
56. What does the research by Cornell University show? (No more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
57. What do the French think of eating according to Dr. Joseph Mercola? (No more than 15 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
58. Why do you think Mireille Guiliano can stay thin though she rarely goes to the gym? (No more
than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
59. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph? (No more than 15 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
60. Do you think enjoying food has close connection with getting fat? Give your reasons. (No more
than 25 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. How life style and decisions about eating may affect weight.
57. They think of / see eating as an important part of their life style.
58. Because she knows when to stop during a meal. / She can control the amount of food she eats. / She
knows the importance of stopping when she's full.
59. The rate/percentage of being fat among French children has been growing
60. I don't think so, because you can enjoy food and avoid getting fat at the same time if you know
when to stop during a meal.【解析】
这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了为什么美国人很难控制自己的体重,而吃油腻食物的法国人却
能保持苗条呢?的原因。
【56 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的 Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and
decisions about eating may affect weight.可知,一个由美国康奈大学的研究表明,生活方式和饮
食决定可能会影响体重。故回答为 How life style and decisions about eating may affect weight.
【57 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的 According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating
as an important part of their life style.可知,健康专家 Dr. Joseph Mercola 说,法国人把吃看作他
们生活中的重要部分。故回答为 They think of / see eating as an important part of their life style.
【58 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的 After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of
French Women. Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather
than suggesting how to avoid food.(《法国女人》的作者 Mireille Guiliano 在访问美国后说:《不
要发胖》决定写关于何时停止进食的重要性,而非建议如何避免进食)可推测,Mireille Guiliano
很少去健身房,但又没有长胖的原因是她知道何时应该停止进食。故回答为 Because she knows
when to stop during a meal. / She can control the amount of food she eats. / She knows the importance
of stopping when she's full.
【59 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段的 However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young
reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has been growing.可知,然而,随着美
国快餐逐渐被接受,法国年轻人拒绝传统食物。所以这些导致了 the obesity rate among French
children has been growing.“法国儿童的肥胖率也在上升”。所以猜测划线部分的意思是“法国
年轻一代的肥胖率一直在增长”。故回答为The rate/percentage of being fat among French
children has been growing.
【60 题详解】
开放题型。先表明自己的观点,然后陈述原因。例如:I don't think so, because you can enjoy food
and avoid getting fat at the same time if you know when to stop during a meal.故回答为 I don't think
so, because you can enjoy food and avoid getting fat at the same time if you know when to stop during a meal.

【答案】Dear friends,
How time flies! It is more than two months since our English Club was set up by several
classmates and me. On behalf of my classmates, I’d like to talk about something about our club.
So far we have conducted a variety of activities on English learning, such as watching English
films, reading classic English novels, holding a Christmas party and so on. Every member took an
active part in the activities. Many members said the activities benefited them a lot. Not only did they
improve their English, but also they brought them much fun. Personally, I think it is really a good idea
to set up the club.
It is hoped that our club is growing stronger and more mature. And welcome more classmates to the club.
That’s all Thank you.
