Ⅰ.1.D 考查交际用语。句意:“每个人都要去爬山,我也能去吗,妈妈?”“恐怕不行,亲爱的,等你长大吧。”Will you用于请求对方的同意;Why not意为“为什么不去做„„”,用于向别人提建议;I hope so意为“我也希望是这样”;I'm afraid not意为“恐怕不行”,根据句意选择D项。
2.A 考查非谓语动词。句意:我闻到厨房里有东西烧焦了。我过会儿打给你好吗?此处为宾补结构,宾语something与burn是主谓关系,故用现在分词形式作宾语补足语。
3.C 考查非谓语动词。句意: 8月台风横扫台湾岛,破坏了许多村庄。leave作结果状语,与逻辑主语Morakot为主动关系;由于damage与villages为动宾关系,故第二空用damaged。故选C。
4.D 考查强调句。句意:约翰的成功与好运气没有关系,他能有今天(这样的成功),是多年努力的结果。强调句的基本句式为“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他成分”。由此可知答案为D项。
5.A 考查动词的时态以及主谓一致。由live不难判断此处应该用一般现在时,然后考虑主谓一致,后面的主语是the time,故用is。
6.B 考查主谓一致。句意:专家意见的调查表明一个星期三个小时的户外活动有益于健康。前面的主语是A survey;后面的主语是exercise,为不可数名词,故选B。
7.A 考查谓语动词的强调。句意:如果你有了一份工作,付出努力去做它,最后你就会成功。此处应是祈使句,且谓语动词的强调要借助助动词do,故选A项。

Alone Together, an amazing description of our changing relationship with technology, is written by Sherry Turkle, an MIT professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology.In the book's first half, devoted to robots, Turkle gives out toys like the Tamagotchi, Furby, and Zhu Zhu robotic hamster(仓鼠),then explores children's deep attachments to the creatures and assessments of whether they are alive.Such 3 quasipets set the psychological stage for what Turkle is really worried about: robot lovers.One woman even says that if a robot acted like it cared, she'd trade in her boyfriend.The book's second half explores the “network”—instant messages, social networks, confessional websites, and the like—and how it reshapes the self.Fifteenyearolds send and receive close to 6,000 messages a month.“They communicate all day but are not sure if they have connected.They develop friendships on social networking sites and then wonder if they are among friends.” In texting, a typical question is“Where are you?”,not an openended one like “How are you?” Just as robots produce confusion about whether one is alone or with another, Turkle sighs.“We_are_connected_to_each_other,_but_strangely_more_alone.” “What can't be denied(否认)is that technology, with all its faults, makes life a lot easier.It allows us to get in touch with more people in less time;it can make conversation simple—no small talk required.But are any of those feelings equal to the kind we feel when engaged in a real, facetoface setting? Online, you can ignore others' feelings.In a text message, you can avoid eye contact.A number of studies have found that this generation of teens is becoming unconcerned.That doesn't spell disaster, but it does mean we might want to start thinking about the way we want to live.We've gone through terribly rapid change, and some of these things just need a little sorting out.”Turkle says.This book is not to be missed and worthy of every dollar you spend.36.In her book, Turkle worries that ________. A.the robotic creatures are not alive B.all women would fall in love with robots C.children are addicted to keeping animal pets D.more people are lost in the world of technology 37.What can be implied from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4? A.Internet sets us apart from each other.B.Social network is not the real world.C.Internet brings us closer to each other.D.Messages are used a lot in people's daily life.38.If a child keeps using messages a lot, he or she may ________. A.get engaged in small talks B.care little for others' feelings C.get stuck in many disasters D.well sort out personal relationship 39.The purpose of writing this passage is to ________. A.recommend a good book to readers B.urge people to keep away from technology C.analyze the dangers of keeping robots as lovers D.explore the relationship between human and technology 4

教育资料 C.important D.expensive 解析:valuable “有价值的,贵重的”;necessary “有必要的”;important “重要的”;expensive “昂贵的”。根据上一段中的“The thing I value most.”可知,盒子里的东西很贵重,故A项正确。答案:A 15.A.stop B.begin C.start D.hurry 解析:从下段中的“Next Day Jack collected the package.”可知,纸条上给杰克指出了取包裹的地址,stop by “顺便来访”,为固定短语,符合语境。答案:A 16.A.gathered B.visited C.greeted D.caught 解析:gather “收集;收割”;visit “访问;拜访”;greet “欢迎,迎接”;catch “抓住”。根据下一段“Jack opened the package.”可推断此处表示吸引了他的注意,catch one’s attention “引起某人的注意”,为固定短语,符合语境。答案:D 17.A.give B.improve C.return D.pay 解析:杰克收到了贝尔瑟先生寄给他的盒子,信中说贝尔瑟先生要把盒子给杰克。give sth.to sb.“把某物给某人”,为固定结构,符合语境。答案:A 18.A.casually B.sadly C.nervously D.carefully 解析:casually “随便地”;sadly “悲哀地”;nervously “紧张地”;carefully “仔细地,小心地”。杰克收到盒子后,应该是小心地打开了盒子,故D项正确。答案:D 19.A.attached B.writing C.reading D.printed 解析:attach “附加,附属”;write “写”;read “阅读”;print “印刷”。根据此空前的“...and also these words”可知,在那个手表上还附带着一些话,attach...to...“把……附在……上”,为固定短语,符合语境。答案:A 20.A.on B.at C.in D.off 解析:call on “探望;拜访”;call at “访问”;call in “召集”;call off “取消”。贝尔瑟先生送给杰克的东西和对他的感谢让杰克领悟到,即使工作再忙也要抽出时间与家人待在一起。此处表示“他立刻取消了接下来两天的预约”,故D项正确。答案:D Ⅳ.七选五

李仕才
***阅读理解。
When Kansas high school student Blake Hawkins discovered an empty locker at his school,he didn't just fill it with books and equipment—instead,the innovative teen turned it into a soda pop vending machine(自动售货机).
Hawkins explains that the“Soda Locker”vending machine uses a coin acceptor,an LCD screen,a microcontroller board,a magnetic switch,some old video game switches,and batteries.Hawkins explains he had Valley Center High School's support when he was developing the_prototype,and was able to come up with a design that would not damage the existing locker.And he was able to do it for approximately $160 spent on parts.The Soda Locker has a design where no one can remove the control board from the locker and the door swings shut after use to protect it.Furthermore,it's programmed to take exact change only,and to let the operator know when someone is trying to cheat the coin system.Hawkins explains he originally thought about the idea for having a soda pop vending machine in a locker a year ago on his way to history class.While he initially treated it as a joke, he has proven how you can take an idea and turn it into something brilliant.He wrote,“Whether you build your own Soda Locker or not,I hope you're inspired to build whatever project you've come up with!”
1.What can we learn about the Soda Locker made by Hawkins? A.It looks nice.B.It is a combination.C.Its soda tastes great.D.Its equipment is advanced.2.What does the underlined phrase “the prototype” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.The locker.B.The acceptor.C.The machine.D.The switch.3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly discuss? A.The design process of the Soda Locker.B.The protection system of the Soda Locker.C.The charging system of the Soda Locker.D.The development cost of the Soda Locker.4.Which of the following best describes Hawkins according to the text? A.Optimistic.B.Productive.C.Creative.D.Innocent.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了美国堪萨斯州的一位高中生Blake Hawkins将储物柜改造成了一台功能齐全的苏打汽水自动售货机。
长难句分析:He wrote,“Whether you build your own Soda Locker or not, I hope you're inspired to build whatever project you've come up with!”(最后一段最后一句)分析:Whether引导让步状语从句;you're inspired to build...是宾语从句,作hope的宾语;whatever project you've come up with是宾语从句,作build的宾语。
译文:他写道:“无论你是否建造你自己的自动售货机,我希望你都会被激励做出你所想到的东西。”
词汇积累:locker n.寄物柜 innovative adj.创新的 magnetic adj.有磁性的 approximately adv.大约,近似地
1.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“a coin acceptor, an LCD screen,a microcontroller board,a magnetic switch...”可知,Blake Hawkins的自动售货机是组合物。故选B。
2.C 词义猜测题。根据“developing”并结合语境可知,此处指在研发这款机器时,他得到了学校的支持。故画线词应指上文提到的“Soda Locker”这个机器。故选C。
3.B 段落大意题。根据第四段中的“no one can remove...and the door swings shut after use to protect it”可知,本段主要讲的是这款自动售货机自身的保护系统。故选B。
4.C 推理判断题。纵观全文,一个高中生看到空的储物柜能想到将其改为自动售货机,并结合第一段中的“the innovative teen”可知,Blake Hawkins的创造才能非同寻常。故选C。
***语法填空。
Our group Springhill Baptist Church started a food pantry(食品储藏室)to help out members of the community.As part of the program, we buy the food that will __1__(distribute)and make boxes for distribution.We do this on __2__regular basis—the second Monday of every month.One day, as my friend and I __3__(load)our grocery carts with the necessary items in the store, a gentleman asked us, “__4__do you get so many items?” We explained we were doing our __5__(month)grocery shopping and gave him some details about our program.__6__(say)that it was great, he went on with his business.After gathering everything on our list, we started unloading the food to check out at the counter, only __7__(inform)by the cashier that our bill had already been paid.The gentleman who asked about our__8__(intend)had left his credit card number to pay __9__our order and then walked off.He had no idea what the cost was before he left.We were __10__(extreme)shocked at the generosity of a stranger.1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________ 9.________ 10.________ 篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者和朋友去为食品储藏室购买食物时遇到了一位绅士,他在得知作者他们的意图后悄悄地为他们支付了账单。作者在文中对这位绅士的慷慨表达了感激之情。
1.be distributed 考查动词的语态。作为计划的一部分,我们购买食物并将其进行分配。distribute与food之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应用被动语态。空前是情态动词will,故填be distributed。
2.a 考查冠词。我们定期这样做——每个月的第二个星期一。on a regular basis “定期地”。
3.were loading 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据下文中的“we were doing our...”可知,此处表示过去某个时间点正在进行的动作,应用过去进行时;句子的主语是my friend and I,是复数概念,谓语动词应用复数。故填were loading。
4.Why 考查疑问词。根据下文的“We explained we were doing our...”可知,这位绅士是在问“你们为什么买这么多物品”,故填疑问词Why表示“为什么”。
5.monthly 考查词性转换。根据空前的“our”及空后的“grocery shopping”可知,此处应填形容词作定语。上文的“every month”暗示这里填monthly “每月的”。
6.Saying 考查非谓语动词。逗号后面的句子与前面的部分之间没有连词,故空处所在部分应填非谓语动词,此处表示伴随状况,he和say之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作状语。
7.to be informed 考查非谓语动词及其被动结构。only后接不定式表示出乎意料的结果,inform与其逻辑主语之间是动宾关系,故应用不定式的被动式。
8.intention 考查词性转换。根据空前的“about our”可知,此处要填名词,intention “意图,目的”。
9.for 考查介词。pay for sth.是固定搭配,“为„„而付钱,负担„„的费用”。故填for。
10.extremely 考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰were shocked,表示程度,故填 extremely。
***完形填空。

5.C 结合语境可推知,诗篇中的父亲有疑问,想知道自己将来会不会无私地“松开线”。wonder“想知道”。
6.D 根据语境可推知,作者的儿子宣布他将不会完成大学学业。
7.D 根据下文的“At the end of the semester Gary moved back home”可知,作者的劝说毫无作用。make a difference意为“有作用”。
8.B 根据下文的“What was a college professor's __10__ doing at a job”可知,作者的儿子找到了一份工作。
9.C 根据上文的“with usual enthusiasm”和下文的“was deeply disappointed”可知,上下文表示逻辑上的转折关系。
10.C 根据上下文可知,Gary和作者是父子关系。
11.D 根据作者下文所说的话和上文的“reasoning”可知,作者想劝说儿子放弃那份工作,因为作者感到很失望。persuade“劝说”。
12.D 根据“reunion”可知,此处是和以前的高中同学团聚。former “以前的”。13.C 根据语境可知,作者认为儿子的工作一个高中辍学者都可以做,而他的同学们则成了医生、律师和工程师,作者问儿子能否应对这种情况。handle“应付,处理”。
14.A 作者的儿子很坚定地回答,没有丝毫犹豫,与语境“Yes,Dad,”呼应。15.B 根据上文可知,儿子的话让作者沉默了。
16.C 根据上文的“I have written a poem called Flying Kites”可知,作者想起了自己写的那首诗。
17.B 根据上文的“Will I release the string as unselfishly us that”可知,此处表示要放开风筝上的线。
18.A 根据空后的“make his own choices”可推知,儿子已经长大,可以自己做决定了。

第五处:our→their 考查代词。根据上文中的“they are too lazy”可知,此处应该用their。
第七处:depressing→depressed 考查非谓语动词。此处depressed是描述人的主观心理的形容词,作宾语补足语。

(2012·河北重点中学联考)Scientists at Harvard University and Bates College find female chimpanzees(黑猩猩)appear to treat sticks as dolls, carrying them around until they have children of their own.Young males engage in such behavior much less frequently.The new work by Sonya M.Kahlenberg and Richard W.Wrangham, described this week in the journal Current Biology, provides the first evidence of a wild nonhuman species playing with dolls, as well as the first known sex difference in a wild animal's choice of playthings.The two researchers say their work adds to a growing body of evidence that human children are probably born with their own ideas of how they want to behave, rather than simply mirroring other girls who play with dolls and boys who play with trucks.Doll play among humans could have its origins in object—carrying by earlier apes(猿类), they say, suggesting that toy selection is probably not due entirely to socialization.“In humans, there are obvious sex differences in children's toy play, and these are remarkably similar across cultures,” says Kahlenberg.“While socialization by elders and peers has been the primary explanation, our work suggests that biology may also have an important role to play in activity preferences.”
In 14 years of data on chimpanzee behavior at the Kibale National Park in Uganda, Kahlenberg and Wrangham counted more than 100 examples of stickcarrying.Some young chimpanzees carried sticks into the nest to sleep with them and on one occasion built a separate nest for the stick.“We have seen juveniles occasionally carrying sticks for many years, and because they sometimes treated them rather like dolls, we wanted to know if in general this behavior tended to represent something like playing with dolls,” says Wrangham, a Professor at Harvard.“If the doll hypothesis(假设)was right, we thought that females should carry sticks more than males do, and that the chimpanzees should stop carrying sticks when they had their first child.We have now watched enough young chimpanzees to prove both points.”
文章大意:动物心理是科学家们研究的一个重要领域。在黑猩猩的世界里,雌性黑猩猩常把棍子当作洋娃娃抱在怀里,而雄性黑猩猩却较少这样做。这是为什么呢?
1.What does a female chimpanzee do with sticks? A.She gives them to her child to play with.B.She treats them as dolls.C.She makes useful tools from them.D.She treats them as weapons.答案:B 细节理解题。由第一段“Scientists at Harvard University and Bates College find female chimpanzees(黑猩猩)appear to treat sticks as dolls”可知。
2.What causes the different toy selection of chimpanzees, according to the passage? A.Sex difference.C.Environment.B.Socialization.D.Cultural difference.答案:A 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句话“Young males engage in such behavior much less frequently.”可知。
3.We can infer from the fourth paragraph that ________.A.socialization has nothing to do with human's choice of playthings B.sex difference is the only factor in human's choice of playthings C.the biology factor may also influence toy choice D.people choose different toys in different cultures 答案:C 细节理解题。由第四段“our work suggests that biology may also have an important role to play in activity preferences”可知。
4.It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A.both humans and chimpanzees choose their playthings due to sex difference B.different factors cause humans and chimpanzees to choose different playthings C.only female chimpanzees have playthings D.chimpanzees usually choose playthings for their children 答案:A 推理判断题。文章讲到,雌性黑猩猩常把棍子当作洋娃娃抱在怀里,而雄性黑猩猩却较少这样做;同时还提到,女孩子和男孩子玩的玩具不同。故选A项。

(2012·淄博一模)
Maricel Apatan, 22, stands in the kitchen of the Edsa ShangiLa Hotel in Manila, preparing to decorate a cheesecake.It would seem to be a routine task for a cake chef,but Maricel is no ordinary chef—she has no hands.Maricel has come a long way since the day in September 2000 when she and her uncle were attacked near their farm.Fortunately, both of them survived, but the 11yearold girl lost her hands.In 2004,she entered a Manila training centre for people with disabilities.She learned how to write and do housework and,more importantly, came to terms with her disability.After graduation from high school, she took a twoyear Hotel and Restaurant Management course and flourished even though she was the only disabled student in the course.After she moved back to Manila to continue her studies, the media started 6 reporting on this determined young woman.She didn't shy away from the attention.“I wanted others living with disabilities to believe it's possible to live a normal life,”Maricel says.When managers at the Edsa ShangriLa Hotel saw Maricel on television, they hired her as part of the hotel's Care for People project.She has also accomplished her goal of inspiring others.One of them is Ronelyn Calumpiano, a 21yearold with cerebral palsy(脑瘫).She saw Maricel on television and was moved by her confidence.Ronelyn will soon start classes and is already planning a career in IT.Maricel's three younger sisters have moved to Manila.She pays for the rent of their small apartment,while their parents look after their family farm in Mindanao.“It is difficult to make ends meet but I don't lose hope.I believe anything is possible if you dream, work hard and pray.”
文章大意:22岁的Maricel Apatan是一位失去了双手的残疾人,但是她没有放弃希望,努力自立自强。
5.“Maricel is no ordinary chef” because________.A.she is better than other chefs B.she is physically disabled C.she can do a routine task D.she is good at decorating cakes 答案:B 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句话“It would seem to be a routine task for a cake chef,but Maricel is no ordinary chef—she has no hands.”可知,Maricel没有了双手,是一位残疾人。
6.Which of the following is NOT true about Maricel? A.She survived while her uncle did not.B.She didn't shy away from public attention.C.She has inspired some disabled people.D.She managed to make a living by herself.答案:A 细节理解题。由第二段第二句话“Fortunately, both of them survived, but the 11yearold girl lost her hands.”可知,她们二人都幸存了下来。所以A项错误。
7.The underlined word “flourished” in Paragraph 3 is similar in meaning to________.A.was rejected C.recovered well
