第二部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分 35 分)
第一节 单项填空(共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分)
请认真阅读下面各题，从题中所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
1.It is a truly delightful place, ________looks the same as it must have done 100 years ago with its winding streets
and pretty cottages.
A. as B. where
C. that D. which
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非限制性定语从句。句意：这真是一个令人愉快的地方，这里的蜿蜒的小路和美丽的小村庄
一定和 100 年前看起来是一模一样的。此句是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是 place，在定语从句中是作
主语，所以用关系代词引导。as 引导非限定性定语从句时要放在句首，故排除，选用 which。故选 D
考点：考查定语从句关系代词。
【名师点睛】本题旨在考查定语从句中的关系词，要求学生掌握在什么情况下用关系副词，什么情况下用
关系代词以及各自的意义。非限制性定语从句是先行词的附加说明，去掉了也不会影响主句的意思，它与
主句之间通常用逗号分开。非限制性定语从句还能将整个主句作为先行词, 对其进行修饰, 这时从句谓语动
词要用第三人称单数。关系代词 that 和关系副词 why 不能引导非限制性定语从句。
2.Back from his two-year medical service in Africa, Dr. Lee was very happy to see his mother ________ good care of
at home.
A. taking B. taken
C. take D. be taken
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词。句意：在非洲医疗援助两年回来后，李医生很高兴看见妈妈被照顾得很好。his mother
和 take care of 是被动关系，用过去分词作宾语补足语，故选 B。
【点睛】考生在做非谓语动词的题目时，首先要通过分析句子知道这里需要的是谓语动词还是非谓语动词，
还有是作什么成分，然后根据和修饰语的关系决定用哪种非谓语单词：是现在分词还是过去分词或者不定
式。
3.Most of us if we know even a little about where our food comes from, understand that every bite put into our
mouths was ________ alive.
A. steadily B. instantly
C. formerly D. permanently
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查副词辨析。句意：就算我们很少了解食物来自于哪里，但是大多数人都明白，放在我们口里
的每一点食物在之前都是活着的。A. steadily 稳定地，B. instantly 立即地，C. formerly 先前地，D. permanently
永久地。在做题的时候，只需要理解最后一句话就可以了 was ______alive. 根据句意及常识可得出答
案，在吃入口中之前的都是活着的。故选 C。
4. We’ll reach the sales targets in a month _______ we set at the beginning of the year.
A. which B. where C. when D. what
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我们再有一个月就能完成年初制订的销售目标。本题是一个定语从句，句
中先行词为 targets, 指物，在从句中充当 set 的宾语，所以用关系代词 which 或 that。故选择 A 项。
5. —Dad, I don’t think Oliver the right sort of person for the job.
—I see. I’ll go right away and ________.
A. pay him back B. pay him off C. put him away D. put him off
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：——爸爸，我认为奥利弗是不适合这份工作的那种人。——我明白，
我马上付清工资后解雇他。A. pay back 偿还，回报；B. pay sb. off 付清工资后解雇(某人)；C. put away 收拾，
储存；D. put off 推迟。根据“Dad, I don’t think Oliver the right sort of person for the job.”可知，将付清工资后
解雇奥利弗。故 B 正确。
,
6.The early pioneers had to many hardships to settle on the new land.
A. go along with B. go back on C. go through D. go into
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析：句意：先民不得不新土地上经历很多艰难困苦才能定居下来。A. go along with
和…相处，B. go back on 背弃，C. go through 经历，检查，D. go into 染上。由“many hardships to settle on the
new land”可知，go through“经历”符合句意。故选 C。
7.—It’s reported that the new underground line has been completed.
—Yes, but it hasn’t been made clear it’s to be opened to traffic.
A. that B. who C. what D. when
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意：——据报道新的地铁线路已经完成了。——是的，但是还不清楚什么时候
对公众开放。A. that 引导名词性从句，无实意；B. who 谁；C. what 什么；D. when 什么时候。分析句子可
知，此处考查主语从句，从句成分完整，但缺少“何时”之意，应用连接词 when 引导。故选 D 项。
8.He goes to work by car. His house is from his office in the city.
A. two hour’s drive B. two hours’ drive C. two hour drive D. two hours drive
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查名词所有格。句意：他开车去上班。他的家离他在城里的办公室有两个小时的车程。此处用
名词所有格形式，根据 two，hour 用复数形式 hours；在名词后面加’s 表示名词所有格，但以 s 结尾的词只
加’。由此可知“两小时的路程”用英语表达应该为“two hours’ drive”。故选B。
9.Paris serves both as the political center of the nation and as_______.
A. the cultural center also
B. being a cultural center
C. to be a center of cultural activity
D. a center of cultural activity
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查名词作宾语。句意：巴黎既是国家的政治中心，又是文化活动的中心。as…as 句型中，后面
接并列结构时，并列结构要对称。第一个 as 后，是一个名词短语 the political center of the nation，第二个 as
后也应该是一个名词短语。故选 D。
10.Every boy and every girl_______ pleased when they saw Shenzhou VI was sent up to space.
A. is B. was C. are D. were
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查主谓一致和时态。句意：看到神州六号被送入太空，每个男孩和女孩都很高兴。根据从句中
的 saw 可知，用一般过去时，名词前有 every 修饰时，谓语用单数形式。故选 B。
11.At the bad news, she was so sad_______I had to stay here keeping her_______.
A. that; companion B. then; companies C. that; company D. and; accompany
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句和固定短语。句意：听到这个坏消息，她很伤心，我只好留在这里陪她。第一空为
结果状语从句，表示“如此……以至于……”应用so...that...，故第一空填 that，排除 B、D 选项；第二空表
示“陪伴某人”短语为 keep sb. company，故选 C。
12.I was _______ with my son about his carelessness, which _______ the main cause of his failure in math.
A. annoyed; were B. amazed; was C. amazing; were D. annoyed; was
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词词义辨析和主谓一致。句意：我很生我儿子的气，他的粗心大意是他数学不及格的主
要原因。第一空根据后文 his failure in math 可知应是对考试不及格感到生气恼怒，且修饰人应用-ed 结尾形
容词，故用 annoyed，amazing“令人惊异的”；amazed“吃惊的”；第二空为非限定性定语从句修饰先行词
carelessness，先行词在从句中做主语，时态为一般过去时，故谓语动词应用单数形式 was。故选 D。
【点睛】定语从句中的主谓一致
在定语从句时，关系代词 that, who, which 等作主语时，其谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数一致。如：
He is one of my friends who are working hard. 他是我的一个努力工作的朋友。
He is the only one of my friends who is working hard. 他是我唯一一个努力工作的朋友。（先行词前有 only 修饰，
定语从句中的谓语动词用单数）
13.—Can I help you, sir?
—Yes, what’s the price of the apple?
—Ninety-seven per kilogram.
A. pences B. pence C. penny D. pennys
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查名词单复数。句意：——有什么可以帮您的吗，先生？——是的，苹果的价格是多少？——
每公斤 97 便士。penny 表示“便士”，根据上文Ninety-seven 可知应用其复数形式，penny 的复数形式为 pence
和 pennies，pennies 是指货币的枚数，pence 是指总的金额，此处表示“每公斤 97 便士”强调的是总的金额
应用 pence。故选 B。
14.We had no food left in our backpacks, and things worse, it began to pour.
A. making B. to have made C. having made D. to make
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查插入语。句意：我们的背包里没有吃的了，更糟糕的是，天开始下起大雨来了。由语境可知
此处表示“更糟的是”，to make things worse = what was worse =worse still 更糟
的是。故选 D。
15.—What makes you so unhappy?
— .
A. Because I’ve put on weight
B. Putting on weight
C. For I’ve lost some weight
D. Because of my putting on weight
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意：——你怎么这么不高兴？——体重增加（让我不开心）。前句问“什么让你这
么不开心?”所以只需要回答让自己不开心 事情就行，在 ABD 中选择，“体重增加”要作句子的主语，
动名词（doing）作主语，原句为：Putting on weight makes me so unhappy。故选 B 项。

第三部分 阅读理解(共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分)
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
In today's fast paced，high stress world people are working longer hours than ever，and often exhaust themselves at
day's end in front of the television to relax enough to begin again in the morning. However，television watching，for
most people，does not really lower stress. Studies show that TV viewing more than an hour or so actually creates
stress and，especially in women，may lead to the blues. Most individuals are unaware that doing some exercise after
work makes them more energetic since it increases energy levels.
Wise use of free time does not mean getting an advanced degree，although the mental encouragement gained
through education is unbeatable in keeping your mind active. Learning new things nearly always adds a spark to your
daily life，especially if it is a favorite topic，such as sport，fashion，or art. Also，look through your bookstore or
library to find books on your interests. Try to replace a half hour TV watching with reading.
It is reported that in the United States recently，many individuals have as few as two good friends. Long work hours
and car commute act to separate people from each other. This separation is deadly. Find ways to meet people at the
end of the day and on weekends. Often this can be best done by combining activities，such as by joining a walking
group to get both exercise and companionship. Taking a class will lift your spirits and allow you to meet others with
similar interests. Hobbies are great for reducing stress and provide another opportunity for social interaction.
Using your free time to aid your health may include these elements and many more，such as going to concerts and
spending time with family. Overall，the key is to spend less free time being passive. The best ways to use free time
are to be mentally and physically active，spend some time outdoors，and interact with other people on a regular
basis.
36. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Watching television may cause women to feel depressed.
B. Finding interests and hobbies in common means taking a class.
C. Going to concerts is the best way to make you mentally active.
D. Getting an advanced degree in education always lights up your life.
37. What does the underlined word “commute” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. The arrangement to work every day.
B. The journey to work every day.
C. The communication between people.
D. The separation between people.
38. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Live a Happy and Healthy Life
B. Relax Yourself in Various Ways
C. Spend Your Free Time Wisely
D. Interact With Others Outdoors
【答案】36. A 37. B 38. C
【解析】

可以做的事情的建议，这样可以有效的缓解压力。

说，可能会导致抑郁。可知，看电视太多会让女性变得压抑，故选 A。
【37 题详解】
词义猜测题。从第三段的句子 Long work hours and car commute act to separate people from each other．可知长
时间工作和乘汽车上下班的路途让人们彼此分离，所以 commute 指 The journey to work every day(乘车上下
班)。故选 B。
【38 题详解】
主旨大意题。从全篇文章和第二段的句子 Wise use of free time does not mean getting an advanced degree,
although the mental encouragement gained through education is unbeatable in keeping your mind active.可知，这篇
文章主要讲的是如何明智的度过空余时间。故选 C
B
The computer keyboard helped kill shorthand—a system of rapid handwriting, and now it' s threatening to finish
off handwriting as a whole. When handwritten essays were introduced on the SAT exams for the class of 2011, just
15% of the most 1.5 million students wrote their answers in cursive (草写字母). The rest? Block letters.
And those college hopefuls are just the first edge of a wave of US students who no longer get much handwriting
instructions in the primary grades, frequently 10 minutes a day or less. As a result, more and more students struggle to
read and write cursive.
At Keene Mill Elementary School in Springfield, all their poems and stories are typed. Children in Fairfax
County schools are taught keyboarding beginning in kindergarten. Older students who never mastered handwriting
say it doesn't affect their grades.
There are those who say the culture is at a crossing, turning from the written word to the typed one. If
handwriting becomes a lost form of communication, does it matter?
It was at University of Virginia that researchers recently discovered a previously unknown poem by Robert,
written in his unique script. Handwritten documents are more valuable to researchers, historians say, because their
authenticity can be confirmed. Students also find them more fascinating.
The loss of handwriting also may be a cognitive opportunity missed. Several academic studies have found that
good handwriting skills at a young age can help children express their thoughts better-a lifelong benefit.
It doesn't take much to teach better handwriting skills. At some schools in Prince George' s County, elementary
school students use a program called Handwriting Without Tears for 15 minutes a day. They learn the correct
formation of manuscript letters through second grade, and cursive letters in third grade.
There are always going to be some kids who struggle with handwriting because of their particular neurological
wiring, learning issues or poor motor skills. Educators often point to this factor in support of keyboarding.
39. What is the author concerned about after 2011 SAT exams?
A. Keyboarding. B. Shorthand. C. Handwriting. D. Block letters.
40. A poem by Robert mentioned in the passage is used to _________.
A. prove how valuable handwriting is B. explain what a famous poet he is
C. show how unique his poem is D. stress how fascinating the documents are
41. The example of Handwriting Without Tears helps to argue that_________.
A. the schools are responsible for the loss of handwriting
B. the loss of handwriting is a cognitive opportunity missed
C. it doesn't take much to teach better handwriting skills
D. the culture is turning from the written word to the typed one
42. According to the author, when is a perfect time to learn handwriting?
A. Kindergarten. B. Primary school. C. High school. D. College.
【答案】39. C 40. A 41. C 42. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章指出计算机键盘正威胁着整个书写体系的消亡，越来越多的学生难以读和写草写字
母。书法是很有价值的，年轻时的良好书写技能可以帮助孩子更好地表达他们的想法——这对他们一生都
有好处。同时想拥有更好的书写技能并不需要花费太多。
【39 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中 When handwritten essays were introduced on the SAT exams for the class of 2011,
just 15% of the most 1.5 million students wrote their answers in cursive (草写字母). The rest? Block letters.可知当
2011 年的 SAT 考试引入手写作文时，150 万学生中只有 15%用草书字母写答案。其余的人呢？印刷体。由
此可知，2011 年 SAT 考试结束后，作者关心的是书写。故选 C。
【40 题详解】
推 理 判 断 题 。 根 据 第 五 段 It was at University of Virginia that researchers recently discovered a previously
unknown poem by Robert, written in his unique script. Handwritten documents are more valuable to researchers,
historians say, because their authenticity can be confirmed. Students also find them more fascinating.可知在弗吉尼
亚大学，研究人员最近发现了一首 Robert 以前不为人知的诗，是用他独特的手稿写的。历史学家说，手写
文件对研究人员来说更有价值，因为它们的真实性可以被证实。学生们也发现它们更吸引人。由此可推知，
文章中提到 Robert 的一首诗是用来证明书法的价值的。故选 A。
【41 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中 It doesn't take much to teach better handwriting skills. At some schools in Prince
George' s County, elementary school students use a program called Handwriting Without Tears for 15 minutes a day.
可知教更好的书写技巧并不需要花费太多。在乔治王子县的一些学校，小学生每天使用 15 分钟的
“Handwriting Without Tears”程序。由此可推知，Handwriting Without Tears 的例子有助于论证，教更好的
书写技能并不需要花费太多。故选 C。
【42 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中 And those college hopefuls are just the first edge of a wave of US students who no
longer get much handwriting instructions in the primary grades, frequently 10 minutes a day or less.可知而这些有望
上大学的学生只是美国学生中的第一批，这些学生在小学阶段不再得到太多的手写指导，通常是每天 10 分
钟甚至更少。以及倒数第二段中 At some schools in Prince George' s County, elementary school students use a
program called Handwriting Without Tears for 15 minutes a day. They learn the correct formation of manuscript
letters through second grade, and cursive letters in third grade.可知在乔治王子县的一些学校，小学生每天使用
15 分钟的“Handwriting Without Tears”程序。他们从二年级开始学习手写字母的正确结构，三年级开始学
习草书字母的正确结构。由此可推知，文章中反复提到从小学阶段学生就开始练习书法，可推知作者认为，
小学是学习书法的最佳时间。故选 B。
C
“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right” says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up
near Edinburgh，Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there
is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie’s opinion it is
necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story，which is what every writer should be doing.
“If you aren’t telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed.” She says. With the chief function of a writer being to
entertain，Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the
music of language,” she says. “This love goes back to early childhood. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what
we would like to be when we grew up and，because my family always had dogs，and I was very good at handling
them，I said I wanted to work with dogs，and the teacher always said ‘Nonsense，Mollie；dear，you’ll be a
writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have something，since she was a good teacher and I decided
when I was nine that I would be a writer.”
This childhood intention is described in her novel，A Sound of Chariots，which although written in the third person
is clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its
achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably (不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was
still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields—sadly now covered with modern houses. “I was once
taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I’ll never go back，”she said
“Never. When I set one of my books in Scotland” she said “I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in
those fields，or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that’s important because children now know so much
so early that romance can’t exist for them, as it did for us.”
43. What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?
A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.
B. It should be attractive to young readers.
C. It should be based on original ideas.
D. It should not include too much conversation.
44. In Mollie Hunter’s opinion，which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?
A. Being poor in life experience.
B. Being short of writing skills.
C. The weakness of description.
D. The absence of a story.
45. What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?
A. She didn’t expect to become a writer.
B. She didn’t enjoy writing stories.
C. She didn’t have any particular ambitions.
D. She didn’t respect her teacher’s views.
46. What’s the writer’s purpose in this text?
A. To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s books.
B. To introduce Mollie Hunter’s work to a wider audience.
C. To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers.
D. To describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books.

The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and knocked into the table, spilling his coffee
over his notes. “How embarrassing! I am getting so clumsy in my old age.”
Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came
around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, “Come on, Frank. Tell us your most
embarrassing moment.”
Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. “I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he
loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out
until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other
kids that were still at home.”
He looked at us and said, “I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling
the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his
old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter
how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”
Frank’s voice dropped a bit. “When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that
he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You
could hear it coming for blocks. As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink (畏缩) down into the seat
hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke. He
would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would
lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was
twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”
He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the
school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said,
“No, Dad.” It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said,
“Dad, I’m too old for a goodbye kiss. I’m too old for any kind of kiss.” My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and
his eyes started to tear up. Then he turned and looked out the windshield. “ You’re right,” he said. “ You are a big
boy.... a man. I won’t kiss you anymore.”
Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke. “It wasn’t long after
that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet (船队) stayed in, but not Dad.
He had a big family to feed. They found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a
strong wind and was trying to save the nets and the floats.”
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. “Guys, you don’t know
what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek…to feel his rough old face… to smell the
ocean on him… to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have
told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”

________.

第四部分 任务型阅读(共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分)
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格
只填一个单词。
By the logic（逻辑）of geography, the continent of Australia should have been populated with Asians. Instead,
by an accident of history, Australia has been mainly populated with Westerners.
Sadly, no major Australian newspaper or expert commented. This made me aware that Australians are reluctant
to face Australia's painful new geopolitical realities.
Against this background, the release of the Asian Century White Paper is timely. It should provide a sharp
wake-up call to the Australian population that Australia's destiny（命运）is now firmly tied to Asia. Julia Gillard is
right in saying, "The transformation of the Asian region into the economic powerhouse of the world is not only
unstoppable, it is gathering pace."
One truly impressive part of the paper is the data it provides on Asia's rise. It notes, for example, that "in the past
20 years, China and India have almost tripled（增三倍）their share of the global economy and increased their
economic size almost six times over. By 2025, the region as a whole will account for almost half the world's output."
In this Asian century, as Western power gets weak steadily, Australia will be left "beached" alone as the only
Western country （together with New Zealand） in Asia. Twenty-two million Australians will have to learn to deal
with 3.5 billion Asians with great care and sensitivity.
Ignorance（无知）about Asia could prove to be fatal（致命的）for Australia's long-term future. This is why
the report is right in focusing on Australian misunderstanding of Asia.
Sadly, this kind of terrible ignorance may be a result of Australian education. The report says, “Only a small
proportion of Year 12 students study anything about Asia in the subjects of history, literature, geography, economics,
politics and the arts under existing state-based curriculums." Worse, only 5 per cent of each Australian groups study
any kind of Asian language.
Learning Asian languages would open windows to Asian cultural and political sensitivities. The time for
Australians to think deeply about their Asian destiny has arrived. The sooner Australia adjusts to its new Asian
destiny, the less painful the adjustment will prove to be.
Title: It's ___51___ to accept our place in Asian region
___52___
___53___ speaking, Australia is close to Asia, yet few
Australians are willing to face Australia's new geopolitical
___54___.
Release of the
white paper
Aim: To tell Australians that their___55___ definitely has
much to do with Asia.
Cause: Asia has___56___ the economic powerhouse of the
world.
___57___: China and India have tripled their share of the
global economy and the region will account for half the
world's output by 2025.
Writer's opinions
Australians will be lonely if they don't learn to deal with 3.5
billion Asians. Australian___58___, in part, is responsible for
their ignorance about Asia.
It's right for the paper to ___59___ on Australian
misunderstanding of Asia.
It's high time that Asia languages were ____60____ to
Australian children.
【答案】51. time
52. Background
53. Geographically
54. realities
55. destiny
56. become 57. Data
58. education
59. focus/concentrate
60. taught

知，为了澳大利亚的未来，澳大利亚必须接受其在亚洲地理位置这个事实。
【51 题详解】
主旨大意题。由最后一段的第二句“The time for Australians to think deeply about their Asian destiny has
arrived.”可知，澳大利亚人要认真思考他们在亚洲位置的时候已经到了。由此可见，“It's ___1___ to accept
our place in Asian region”应该表达的是时候要接受我们在亚洲的位置了。“It’s time to do”表示的是“是做
什么事情的时候了”，符合句意。 故填 time。
【52 题详解】
标题归纳题。由第二段的最后一句“This made me aware that Australians are reluctant to face Australia's painful
new geopolitical realities.”以及第三段的第一句“Against this background, the release of the Asian Century White
Paper is timely.”可知，这使我意识到澳大利亚人不情愿面对澳大利亚令人不快的新的地理政治现实。在这
样的背景之下，亚洲世纪白皮书的公开是及时的。由此可见，“this background”指代的是澳大利亚不情愿
面对新的地理政治现实，因此该标题应该为 background。故填 Background。
【53 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的第一句“By the logic（逻辑）of geography, the continent of Australia should have
been populated with Asians.”可知，按照地理逻辑，澳大利亚大陆本应该是由亚洲人构成。由此可见，
“___3___ speaking, Australia is close to Asia”应表达的是地理上来说，澳大利亚靠近亚洲。“Geographically
speaking”表示的是“地理上来说”，符合句意。故填Geographically。
【54 题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段的最后一句“This made me aware that Australians are reluctant to face Australia's painful

大利亚的命运现在是和亚洲牢牢联系在一起。由此可见，“To tell Australians that their___5___ definitely has
much to do with Asia.”表达的是为了告诉澳大利亚人他们的命运一定是和亚洲有关的。“destiny”表达的是
“命运”的意思，符合句意。故填 destiny。
【56 题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段的最后一句“The transformation of the Asian region into the economic powerhouse of the
world is not only unstoppable, it is gathering pace.”可知，亚洲转变成世界经济强大组织不仅是无法阻挡的，而
且它正在加快步伐。由此可见，“Asia has___6___ the economic powerhouse of the world.”表达的是亚洲已经
变成了世界经济强大组织。“become”表达的是“变成”的意思，符合句意，动词become 在句中做谓语动
词，由空格前的 has 可知，谓语使用的是现在完成时时态，动词 become 需用过去分词 become 表示。故填
become。
【57 题详解】
标题归纳题。由第四段的第一句“One truly impressive part of the paper is the data it provides on Asia's rise.”和
第二句“in the past 20 years, China and India have almost tripled（增三倍）their share of the global economy and
increased their economic size almost six times over”可知，这份文件中的一个真正令人印象深刻的部分是它在
亚洲上升方面提供的数据。在过去 20 年，中国和印度在世界经济份额方面几乎增加了三倍，并且他们经济
规模几乎提高了 6 倍。由此可见，“China and India have tripled their share of the global economy and the region
will account for half the world's output by 2025.”表达的中国和印度在世界经济份额增加了三倍，并且这个地
区在 2025 为止将占据世界产量的一半。这是一种亚洲上升的数据。“data”表达的是“数据”的意思，符

知负责。“education”表达的是“教育”的意思，符合句意。故填 education。

“focus/concentrate”表达的是“关注”的意思，符合句意。故填 focus/concentrate。
【60 题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段的第一句“Learning Asian languages would open windows to Asian cultural and political
sensitivities.”可知，学习亚洲语言可以打开通往亚洲文化和政治敏感的窗户。这表达的是学习亚洲语言的
重要性。由此可见，“It's high time that Asia languages were ___10___ to Australian children.”表达的是现在是
该给澳大利亚孩子们教授亚洲语言的时候了。“teach”表示的是“教授”的意思，动词 teach 和主语 Asia
languages 之间是被动关系，需用 taught 表示。故填 taught。

【答案】Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we recently had about whether it is good or not for families to own
cars．With the development of people’s living conditions, more and more people have their own cars. Some of us
think it’s good to own a car. Firstly, it’s a convenient, fast, and comfortable means of transportation. Secondly, it
shows that people are becoming richer, and the country much more stronger. It also makes relative businesses and
industries develop faster.
Others have different opinions. They think that cars give off waste gas and pollute the environment. Too many
cars will have some bad effects, such as more accidents. Besides, overloaded parking cars is another big problem.
In my view, people should think carefully before they buy a car.
