Only in this way will they trust us.A．would& B．shouldC．ought& D．might答案与解析：B　考查情态动词的基本用法。语境表示：我们对学生应该体贴并激发他们的兴趣。只有这样我们才能取得他们的信任。should＝ought to＝be supposed to。23．He was driving home on the highway last night when he was stopped by a policeman, ________.A．who was charged by speedingB．who accused him of speedingC．which was warned of speedingD．whom reminded him to speed答案与解析：B　本题综合考查几个语言点。首先是考查非限制性定语从句，修饰policeman；其次考查“因……而控告某人”的表达，应用accuse...of或charge...with。综上所述，最佳答案为B项。24．―How was your job interview?―Oh, I couldn't feel ________. I hardly found ________ answers to most of the questions they asked.A． exact& B． adequateC． proper& D． urgent答案与解析：C　考查形容词辨析。从语境看，第一空表示找工作的面试很糟糕，couldn't feel worse意为“不可能更糟”，即十分糟糕；第二空用proper表示“合适的”。特别注意前后语境要一致。25．________ that young babies learn to do things because certain acts lead to awards.A．It is widely acceptedB．What is widely acceptedC．Which is widely acceptedD．That is widely accepted答案与解析：A　考查从句。从空白处后的that可知，句子所含从句为主语从句。若选B项，则应改为：what is widely accepted is that...。26．________ does he have to type the report on a computer, ________ he has to get the computer to translate it into sounds.A．N but also& B．E orC．B and& D．N but答案与解析：A　考查并列关联词的用法。根据前一句采用了倒装语序来判断，应该选A项，因为not only...but also连接两个句子时，not only放在句首则其引导的句子要采用倒装语序。27．Deng Xiaoping put forward the policy of “reform and open&door” in 1978, ________ China has witnessed great changes.A．when& B．since whenC．since then& D．during which答案与解析：B　考查定语从句与并列句的辨析。根据后一分句采用了现在完成时态判断出应该排除A、D两项；逗号后无并列连词，应该用一个非限制性定语从句来补充说明先行词，then不能充当关系副词，也应该被排除，故选B项。28．Livemocha.& com is a free site ________ visitors can not just learn various languages but also chat online.A．where& B．whichC．that& D．what答案与解析：A　先行词为a free site，空格处在定语从句中作状语，因此应用关系副词where。29．People ________ hobbies which offer enjoyment, knowledge and relaxation.A．bring up& B．set upC．pick up& D．take up答案与解析：D　take up开始从事。bring up养育，提出，呕吐；set up建立，创立；pick up拾起，学会，好转。30．Keep ourselves and our heart open ________ we can experience the great joy that friendship can bring.A．so that& B．even thoughC．as if& D．ever since答案与解析：A　句意：只要我们敞开心扉，就能体验到友谊带来的无穷乐趣。后句是前句的结果，因此应用连词so that。31．Some of the exercises appear to be ________ ones that you have done, but after taking ________ second look, you will find that they are different.A．/; the& B． theC． a& D． /答案与解析：C　第一个空格后有定语从句that you have done修饰，因而是特指；第二个空格为不定冠词与序数词连用，表示“再一”。32．―May I ask you a question after class, sir?―________， but not during my lunch break.A．Go ahead& B．SureC．Anytime& D．Sorry答案与解析：B　考查交际用语。根据答语后一分句中的“not during my lunch break”可判断，说话人愿意解答对方的问题，但午饭时间除外，因此可先排除C项和D项。Go ahead表示“问吧，请讲”，是让对方现在就问，而上句表明是下课后才问问题，故A项不符合语境，只能选B项。33．This book ________ a true story of how one person can make a difference in the lives of& other people.A．will tell& B．has toldC．tells& D．told答案与解析：C　考查谓语动词的时态。本句陈述的是事实，因此应用一般现在时。后面的can也有提示。34．With the college entrance examination ________ near, both the parents and the students are more and more anxious.A．draws& B．drawnC．drawing& D．is drawing答案与解析：C　考查with的复合结构。With the college entrance examination drawing near是with的复合结构，the college entrance examination与draw near之间是主动关系，该结构的意思是“随着高考的临近”。35．The number of people, who have access to their own cars, ________ sharply in the past decade.A．rose& B．is risingC．have risen& D．has risen答案与解析：D　考查主谓一致和时态。本句的主语是the number，所以谓语动词用单数；in the past decade表示时间从过去持续到现在，即“十年来”，因此用现在完成时。第二节　完形(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。&&&&& I remember my seventh grade math teacher's name very well. It was Mr. Young. The kids often __36__& him. He was missing one of his fingers, and always __37__& students with his middle finger.&&&& English and Math were my& __38__& two subjects.

A. described&&&&&&& &B. understood&&& C. explained&&&&&&& &&D. accepted答案与解析：36．A　孩子们为此常嘲笑他，在下文有．..make fun of you because you're missing your finger的信息提示。本题中B项干扰性最大，但made a joke of其后一般接物，意为“拿(本该严肃对待的)某事开玩笑”，故此处不可选。37．D　因缺了一根手指(可推知应是食指)，他总是用中指指着学生。本题中C项干扰性最大，point at表示“对着”，强调用某物对准某人或某物；point to意为“指向”，指朝向目的物的方向。38．B　由下文可知，作者数学D&的等次都拿不到，怎么努力也学不好，说明这是最差的科目。本题中D项干扰性最大，误理解为“是分数最差的科目”，但用low表示不了这种意思。39．A　作者怎么努力数学也学不好，作者认为这是自己脑子(智力)的问题。下文But my brain just couldn't do it...也有提示。本题中C项干扰性大，但mind意为“心理，思想”，用在此不妥。40．C　结合全文来看，作者始终认为自己缺乏学数学的天分，故此处是说“在其他的孩子看来非常容易学的东西，我就是怎么也理解不了”。本题中A项干扰性最大，认为“我”学得很苦很烦，而其他孩子学得很开心快乐，而此处中心在一个“难”字，故对应为“易”。41．A　从下文作者跟老师说的话I told him that I would get punished if I got another E on my report card可知A项为正确答案。42．B　作者是在回忆自己七年级时的经历，所以是一个学年度内的事情，再从后文看，时隔不久成绩单就出来了，由此推知应是刻苦学习了几周。43．A　上句有I tried really hard的提示。本题中C项干扰性最大，但此处不是讲态度问题，而是讲付出的问题，指“我”学得很刻苦，投入很多。44．C　从下文作者和Mr. Young的对话情景来看，他应是去了Mr. Young的办公室找了他。本题中B项干扰性最大，但要注意此处故事发展过程：去老师办公室――跟老师求情，故一定要注意上下文，不可孤立地就一个句子来选。45．D　老师若给了学生高出其实际所得的分数，当然就违背了考试的公平性原则，所以这里Mr. Young是说这样做对其他的孩子是“不公平的”。本题中A项干扰性最大，但此处讲考试问题，故与其他学生客观对待，讲的是公平性。46．C　作者估计自己只能还是得个E等的成绩，所以找老师肯定是恳求他给自己一个高点的等次，故此处Mr. Young是说“如果我给了你比你实际所得要高的分数，这对其他的孩子来说是不公平的”。47．B　听老师这么一说，作者就知道老师不会答应自己的恳求了，因此应是转身离去，出去自然是朝门走去。48．B　从上文第一段可知是其他的孩子嘲笑老师。本题中C、D两项干扰性大，但显然片面，此处无法确指。49．C　作者的话使Mr. Young深深触动了，因此他看着“我”。本题B、D两项干扰性大，但从Mr. Young的脸部表情moved his mouth to one side可知B不可能，从said nothing可知D项不可能。50．D　他们不应该这样对你，因为你左右不了少一根手指。51．B　Mr. Young是数学老师，作者在这里讲的是自己的数学问题，故只有numbers合理。52．C　Again此处呼应上文said nothing，故应是Mr. Young还是一言未发。本题中A项干扰性最大。53．A　成绩单上写着：数学，D&。英语中表示“(纸、单，牌等上)写着，写有(文字)”用read或say。本题中B项干扰性最大，主要是受汉语思维“……上写着”的影响。54．D　从上文可知作者这里讲的是数学考试的成绩。本题中B项干扰性最大，因为前面讲了数学考试，但此处是讲最后的分数结果。55．B　Mr.Young听了“我”讲的那番话后，最后改变了自己的主意，给了“我”一个D&，使我避免了无谓的处罚，作者觉得这是因为老师最终理解了自己的苦衷――我知道在这个世界上终于有人理解了我的脑子里少了一根“手指”是什么滋味。本题中D项干扰性最大，错误地理解为“老师接受了我这样一个差生”，文章并无此表示。第三部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节　(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。A&&&& In this fast&shifting world, there can be no guarantees attached to any particular job. But there is much that you can do to protect yourself from the change of society, by equipping& yourself with the skills to manage your career more effectively. You need to be a career activist.&&&& If you lost your main source of income tomorrow, could you find a different source to replace it? The most important thing in protecting yourself now and in the future is ensuring that you have choices. Don't let yourself be held back by a lack of skill development, or fear of change. Some people have& been good performers in their own organization but discovered& that they are stuck. Because they are so closely related to a& particular company or industry, their skills are not readily& transferred to other jobs.&&&& Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If you limit yourself& to one particular area or sector, you limit your opportunity,& too. In a global market place, many jobs come and go quickly& as changes in the stock market. Today's hottest job may not exist tomorrow. If you love computers, then this work represents a& great choice. But don't enter a field just because you think& that's wh even if the job is available, it& may not match well with your own skills and abilities. Start& with an entry of your own strengths and interests, then see& where you may match up best in the job market.56．How can we ensure that we have choices if we lose the main source of income?A. Be a good performer in our own organization.B. Try to develop our skills and be a career activist.C. Enter a field where the hot jobs are.D. Transfer to other jobs that use computers.答案与解析：B　由第一段“...by equipping& yourself with the skills”可知，选B项。57．Some people are afraid of change because ________.A. they have got a hot jobB. they have no other better choicesC. they have got used to a certain jobD. they have no other skills and interests答案与解析：C　由第二段“Some people have& been good performers...transferred to other jobs”可推知正确答案选C项。58．“Put your eggs in one basket” here means ________.A. sticking to only one particular jobB. trying your best to do something wellC. many jobs come and go quicklyD. entering a field where the hot jobs are答案与解析：A　“put your eggs in one basket”是谚语，意为“孤注一掷”；故相近的意思为A项。59．What is the best job for you to choose according to the writer?A. Something that is both hot and interesting.B. Something that brings you good source of income.C. Something that will always exist in the future.D. Something involving your strengths and interests.答案与解析：D　由最后一段“start with a entry of your...job market”可知选D项。BEach winter, the rugged North Shore serves up some of the largest and most impressive ocean waves on the planet. Giant waves make their long journey across the northern Pacific to the area's shoreline. For many island residents, this means only one thing: surf up.&&&& The exact origin for surfing is unknown, but most historians believe that the Polynesians were already very good at the sport by the time they migrated to the Hawaiian islands some 2,000 years ago. Early Hawaiians called surfing “He'nalu”， which literally translates to “wave sliding”. During this time, only high&ranking officials and nobles had access to the best surf sports. King Kamehameba himself was said to be a keen and skilled surfer.&&&& Surfing really took off in the early 1990s. Riding boards made from redwood and balsa wood, early surfers risked their lives to take on these giant waves.&&& Today, thanks to a number of modern innovations and inventions, the surfing population on the North Shore has exploded.& Wave riders and spectators from around the world gather here from November to February, hoping to catch that perfect wave. Winter wave heights can get as high as 20 feet, with faces up to 50 feet! This extreme surf is for experts only, and even the conditions are considered highly dangerous.&&& World&known surf contests are held here from early November to late December. The Wans Triple Crown of Surfing, which includes the Vans Hawaiian Pro at Ali'i Beach Park in Hale'iwa, the Rip Curl Cup at Sunset Beach, brings together the world's best professional surfers. Watching them surfing on the grand waves is really a feast for the eyes.&&& Although winter on the North Shore may not be the best time and place to learn how to surf, the summer months provide safer and more favorable conditions.60．The passage is most probably from ________.A. a guide book&&&&&&&& B. a magazineC. a government report& D. a geography textbook答案与解析：B　本题主要讲了冲浪的起源，发展和现状。从内容上看，旅游书、政府报告、地理课本都不太可能包括这些内容，只有杂志上才能介绍得这样详细。61．What can we learn from the passage?A. High officials were the best surfers in the past.B. Surfing dates back to at least 2,000 years.C. The best time for surfing is from November to February.D. Surfing is a sport for professionals and experts.答案与解析：C　由第一段第三句话可知A项错误，从第一段第二句话可知B项错误，从第一段倒数第二句话可知D项错误，用排除法得出C项正确。62．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The Polynesians were among the earliest people who&&& took up surfing.B. Modern inventions make surf boards safer for the surfers.C. It is a perfect chance for spectators to watch the competitions.D. More and more people on the North Shore go in for surfing.答案与解析：D　由第三段第一句话可知，现在北海岸冲浪的人越来越多，并没有说越来越多的北海岸的人们开始喜欢冲浪，所以D项错误。63．It's suggested that a surf learner should ________.A. make use of the summer time to learn how to surfB. meet& the& challenge& of& the& perfect& waves& on& the&&& North ShoreC. take the chance to win a prize in the world&known competitionsD. watch the professional surfers&& surfing whenever possible答案与解析：A　由最后一段话可以判断出夏季冲浪更安全、条件更好，从而可以判断出A项正确。C&& Fear can be fun. Many young people queue up to ride very fast and scary roller coasters(过山车), screaming but enjoying themselves. Other people like to read “goose bumps (鸡皮疙瘩)” books or watch horror movies at night, scared to death but feeling excited. Why do people like being scared?&& Fear is an ancient way of surviving. Being scared makes animals, including humans escape from danger and save themselves. It is because of fear that we have lived through millions of years of evolution. Those who lacked a strong fear response were more likely to be killed, leaving the more fearful and careful to pass their genes onto the next generation.&&& How do scientists explain why shaking over such scary things is fun? “Some kids will go to a scary movie and love it and laugh over it, others will feel anxious and hide their faces and some won't even set foot in the cinema，” said Ned Kalin, a US scientist. “Which kind of person you are depends partly on experiences you've had and partly on your genes.”&&& What happens in the brain when something frightens you? Nerves that begin at the eyes and ears lead to a part of& the brain called the amygdala. When you suddenly see a& snake, for example, the amygdala makes you freeze, sweat,& have a quickened heartbeat, or run very fast. However, seeing& the snake also uses another part of the brain, the cortex. It analyzes the situation, and if it finds that the snake is only made& of rubber it tells your heart and the rest of your body to calm& down.

They think that fresh water comes from such a variety of sources that it is always sufficient for use. Such an opinion leads to a shocking waste of water.&&&& As a matter of fact, the earth is short of fresh water. Furthermore, with the rapid growth of the world population, the rising demand for water by industry, and the serious pollution of our surroundings, the world is facing the danger of running out of fresh water.
