香港的一位经济学家说。根据“Overall”可知,总体而言,出口表现会好得多。第一个空含有比较级的意
思,much 是用来修饰比较级的。再根据“it’s going to accelerate”可知,表示动词还没发生,所以表示接下

A. that used to be B. it is used to C. it was used to D. it used to be
【答案】D

是“现在家庭观念”和“过去的家庭观念”作比较,而used to 译为“过去常常”。另动词不定式省略时,一
般只保留不定式符号 to,但是如果不定式部分是 be 时,不能省略。故选 D 项。

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的事情就行,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。
15.It’s terrible. My car break down just as we were going on our holiday.A. might B. would C. could D. must
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词。句意:太可怕了。车子偏要在我们打算去度假的时候坏了。情态动词 must 可表示
生气和不满,意为“偏偏、非要”,表示与说话人主观意愿相反;根据句意,说话人想要度假,所以对车子
此时坏了表示不满。故选 D 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、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
More students than ever before are taking a gap year (间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the
“year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated (起源) with the months left over to
Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.
This year 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry
until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions
Service (UCAS).
That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that
the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more
likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and
responsible.” he said.
But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the
increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their
education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £ 15,000 in debt. It is not
surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS
statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during
vacation periods,” he said.
36. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?
A. It is flexible in length. B. It is a time for relaxation.
C. It is increasingly popular. D. It is required by universities.
37. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year .
A. are better prepared for college studies
B. know a lot more about their future jobs
,C. are more likely to leave university in debt
D. have a better chance to enter top universities
38. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?
A. He’s puzzled. B. He’s worried.
C. He’s surprised. D. He’s annoyed.
39. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?
A. Attend additional courses. B. Make plans for the new term.
C. Earn money for their education. D. Prepare for their graduate studies.
【答案】36. C 37. A 38. B 39. C
【解析】
本文为说明文,提到大学的学费高使得很多大学生在上大学学前就要先去挣钱然后再上大学学习。这样的
好处是让学生更珍惜大学的时光,更成熟有责任感。但是也给人们带来了思考。
【36 题详解】
C 推理判断题。由短文第一段 More students than ever before are taking a gap year (间隔年) before going to
university. 及第三段第一句话 That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. 可知间
隔年越来越受到欢迎,因此选 C。
【37 题详解】
A 细节理解题。由人名定位到短文第三段。根据第三段他说的话 Students who take a well-planned year out are
more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more
mature and responsible 可知他在说它的优点,有间隔年之后再去上大学,会让人更成熟有责任感,对大学的
学习有帮助。故选 A。
【38 题详解】
B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段 But not everyone is happy.然后提到 Owain argued that the increase is
evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.
可知他说认为越来越多的学生选择 gap year 是因为他们会在 gap year 期间去挣大学的费用,他们是被迫的,
所以,对此表示担忧。故选 B。
【39 题详解】
C 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句话 NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during
term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods 可知:90%的学生要在假期挣学费。
【考点定位】社会社会类短文阅读B
My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I
had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me
into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at
seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on
until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would
never have gotten to bed.
Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain
shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear
during a show, and to get rid of it. I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this
technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up
my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set.
When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.
At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me
$62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.
40. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?
A. He got an older model than he had expected.
B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.
C. He could have bought it at a lower price
D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.
41. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?
A. ended all their programs B. provided fewer channels
C. changed to commercials D. showed all-night movies
42. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?
A. By shaking and hitting it. B. By turning it on and off.
C. By switching channels. D. By having it repaired.
43. How does the author sound when telling the story?
A. Curious B. Anxious
C. Cautious D. Humorous
【答案】40. C 41. A 42. D 43. D
.【解析】

【40 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段 when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had
paid 可知,当作者看到报纸上这个广告比他买的便宜了 75 块钱的时候,他感觉受愚弄了。故选 C。
【41 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章 The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations
signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten
to bed.(这台电视在刚买的时候如此之美以至于我会直到电视台 signed off 才关掉。幸运的是,没有频道是整
个晚上播电影的,否则我永远都不会睡觉)可推知,划线词组意为“结束了他们所有的项目”。故选A。
【42 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一句 My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now.可知,作
者在修理店花了 62 块钱修好了电视。故选 D。
【43 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,作者是在用幽默的语气讲这件事情的。故选 D。
C
Your house may have an effect on your figure Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in
whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against
you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people
are often less selfconscious (难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your
home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue
room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more
appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里)
per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least
30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing
.music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when
using a 12inch plate instead of a 10inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入)
jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
44. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____________.
A. their home comforts B. their body shape
C. house buying D. healthy diets

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。
WARNING: Holding a cellphone against your ear or storing it in your pocket may be dangerous to your health.
This paraphrases (解释) a warning that cellphone manufacturers include in the small print that is often taken for
granted when a new phone is purchased. Apple, for example, doesn’t want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5
centimeters. Research In Motion, BlackBerry’s manufacturer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.
If health issues arise from cellphone use, the results are serious. Voice calls—Americans chat on cellphones 2.26
trillion minutes annually—bring in $109 billion for the wireless carriers.
Devra Davis, who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about cellphone radiation,
“Disconnect.” The book surveys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled.
Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, there has not been an increase in its incidence since
cellphones arrived. But the average covers an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the
older population.
“Most cancers have multiple causes,” she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy
radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.
Children are more vulnerable (易受伤害的) to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that enters the brain of an adult only five centimeters will reach much deeper into the brains of children
because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid. No studies have yet been completed on
cellphone radiation and children, she says.
Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began
laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiofrequency radiation had damaged DNA in
their brains.
Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phone’s speaker. Children should send text message rather
than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from the abdomen (腹部).

【答案】Recent research has been done on how middle school students prefer to communicate with each other. It
shows that they prefer modern ways instead of traditional ways. Of the 54 students interviewed, 10 of them said that
they often called each other. 21 preferred using text messages while 20 were fans of QQ. Only three students said they
liked to write letters.
With the development of technology, new ways of communication have become popular. They are more
convenient and faster, but I think the traditional ways shouldn’t be abandoned. For example, handwriting is more
personal compared with typing. It is also nice to hear the voice of a friend when you are frustrated.
When we are enjoying the comfort and convenience, don’t forget those things that can touch your heart.
