Stonehenge is a large rock circle. It is not only one of Britain's most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries (神秘的事物). Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.
For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was the place where ancient leaders tried to speak with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can't be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. "The leaders arrived in England much later," he said. Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar (日历). The large stones were put together in a certain way. On mid-summer's morning, the sun shines into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical use. They think the stones can keep people healthy. "As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up to your body," said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of these stones must be for a special need.
Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built, because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn't.
"We don't really know who built Stonehenge," says Paul Stoker. "And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working and great planners!"
19.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The best time to visit Stonehenge is in spring.
B.The ancient leaders arrived and then built Stonehenge.
C.Some people still visit Stonehenge for a medical purpose today.
D.Some English volunteers have successfully built another Stonehenge.
20.What does the underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Some historians in Britain.
B.The builders of Stonehenge.
C.The visitors to Stonehenge.
D.A group of English volunteers.
21.Where can we most probably read this passage?
A.In a street notice. B.In a sports magazine.
C.In a medical report. D.In a culture magazine.

A study shows that getting a later start to school is helping high school students in Seattle, Washington, get a little more sleep. In the study, teenagers did add 34 minutes of sleep a night. Students got more sleep, and had better grades, better test scores, and fewer absences.
The Seattle School District changed the start time from 7:50 a, m, to 8:45 a, m, in 20lin high schools and most middle schools, At the same time, many other American schools are also changing to later start times so that the teens who don't have enough sleep can get more sleeping time.
The scientists asked about 28,000 students and parents to complete surveys about school start times, the children's sleep habits and daytime sleepiness. The first survey was completed four months before a Denver school district changed the time that school began. The next survey was completed six months after the change, which allowed older students to start later. High school began about 70 minutes later at 8:20 a.m. Middle school started anywhere from 40 to 60 minutes later at 8:50 . m. And elementary school started 60 minutes earlier at 8 a. m. They made the final survey 18 months after the adjustments.
Both students and their parents answered questions about when children went to bed and woke on weekdays and weekends, how long they slept on weekends and how they felt during the day.
The elementary school students didn't experience much difference in the amount of time they slept before and after the school start time changed. The middle school students woke much later. High school students received the most sleep after the change, waking 45 minutes later. What the parents reported about their children showed the same trends (趋势). Many experts believe that starting school later does improve students' sleep but some think that students will still not get enough sleep no matter when school begins.
22.The scientists made surveys ____.
A.to show us the feelings of students
B.to tell us how long students sleep
C.to offer some advice to people
D.to show the results of getting a later start
23.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The sleep time of primary school students hardly changed
B.The middle school students had to get up much earlier.
C.The high school students could get up 45 minutes later
D.Parents gave almost the same results as scientists did
24.From the last paragraph we can know that ____.
A.it is a good idea for students to start school later
B.all scientists agree on the change of the school time
C.some scientists think it's not necessary to start school later
D.some scientists want students to start school much earlier
25.What is the main idea of the passage?

11.句意:我不假思索地给了她惯常的回答。A. polite礼貌的;B. special特别的;C. usual平常的;D. surprising惊奇的。根据后文But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that she had asked the way to my office building. 但就在我只走了几步的时候。这时,我意识到她是在问去我办公楼的路。描述作者意识到自己知道去办公室的路,而作者却用了惯常的回答,usual平常的,故选C。

A study shows that getting a later start to school is helping high school students in Seattle, Washington, get a little more sleep. In the study, teenagers did add 34 minutes of sleep a night. Students got more sleep, and had better grades, better test scores, and fewer absences.
The Seattle School District changed the start time from 7:50 a, m, to 8:45 a, m, in 20lin high schools and most middle schools, At the same time, many other American schools are also changing to later start times so that the teens who don't have enough sleep can get more sleeping time.
The scientists asked about 28,000 students and parents to complete surveys about school start times, the children's sleep habits and daytime sleepiness. The first survey was completed four months before a Denver school district changed the time that school began. The next survey was completed six months after the change, which allowed older students to start later. High school began about 70 minutes later at 8:20 a.m. Middle school started anywhere from 40 to 60 minutes later at 8:50 . m. And elementary school started 60 minutes earlier at 8 a. m. They made the final survey 18 months after the adjustments.
Both students and their parents answered questions about when children went to bed and woke on weekdays and weekends, how long they slept on weekends and how they felt during the day.
The elementary school students didn't experience much difference in the amount of time they slept before and after the school start time changed. The middle school students woke much later. High school students received the most sleep after the change, waking 45 minutes later. What the parents reported about their children showed the same trends (趋势). Many experts believe that starting school later does improve students' sleep but some think that students will still not get enough sleep no matter when school begins.
22.The scientists made surveys ____.
A.to show us the feelings of students
B.to tell us how long students sleep
C.to offer some advice to people
D.to show the results of getting a later start

24.From the last paragraph we can know that ____.
A.it is a good idea for students to start school later
B.all scientists agree on the change of the school time
C.some scientists think it's not necessary to start school later
D.some scientists want students to start school much earlier

【解析】【分析】文章大意:本文主要介绍了作者在一个玩具店工作时遇到一个小女孩为了让她生病的弟弟开心而拿着钱买汽车模型,结果钱不够,作者帮助了小女孩,最后小女孩很开心并感谢了作者的故事。
【点评】考查单词拼写。在平时的学习中注意词汇的积累与运用,同时在填写时注意分析上下文,注意人称、数、时态以及语态等问题。
31.句意:有一天,当我在法国一家玩具店工作时,一个女孩手里拿着一些硬币走了进来。结合提示可知本句缺少成分"法国",法国France,作为名词,主要用来指法国,是一个国家的名称。故填France。
32.句意:有一天,当我在法国一家玩具店工作时,一个女孩手里拿着一些硬币走了进来。结合提示可知本句缺少成分"手",手hand,固定短语in one's hand在某人手里,故填hand。

35.句意:她是一个很可爱的女孩,她告诉我她想给她哥哥买一辆模型车,因为他从出生起就生病了。结合提示可知本句缺少成分"自......以来",自......以来since,"since" 用来引导一个时间状语从句,说明 "he had been ill" 这个状态从 "he was born"(他出生的时候)开始一直持续到现在。因此,"since" 在这里的作用是连接主句和从句,并表明从句中的动作或状态发生在主句动作之前,并且一直持续到主句动作的时间。故填since。
36.句意:她想,如果她弟弟得到一个,也许他就会好起来。结合提示可知本句缺少成分"可能",可能maybe或may be,maybe:是一个副词,它在句子中的位置较为灵活,可以放在句首、句中或句末。may be:是"情态动词+be"的结合,在句子中作谓语。其中,may是情态动词,be是动词原形。分析句子可知其后有would be,因此前面不能用may be,故填maybe。
37.句意:我告诉了她价钱,她数了数钱。结合提示可知本句缺少成分"数",count数,根据题干I told her the price. 我告诉了她价格。可知本句为一般过去时,count的过去式counted。故填counted。
38.句意:但不幸的是,她买不起这辆车。结合提示可知本句缺少成分"买得起",买得起afford,空格前是情态动词couldn't,其后用动词原形。故填afford。

四、语法填空(本题有10小题,每小题1分,共计10分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。
I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. But English is very easy for me. I 41. (learn) English for about 10 years and I'm good at it. Now let me 42. (tell) you something about how I study English.
First, I think interest in English is 43. (important) thing in learning English. When I began to learn English, it was fresh for me. I was 44. (interest) in it, so I worked hard at it. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, and the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!
Second, English is 45. foreign language, so I learn it well in the following ways: listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and build up a good vocabulary. Then practice again and again. And I also have a good habit-asking 46. help whenever I have a question. I must make it clear by asking my English teacher or classmates. 47. happy I am when I understand!
Besides, I often read English articles, jokes and easy novels. I find 48. useful to help me understand the meanings of some words well. So doing more 49. (read) is an important way to learn English well. And I also write English 50. (diary). English has become a close friend of mine.
【答案】41.have learned;42.tell;43.the most important;44.interested;45.a;46.for;47.How;48.it;49.reading;50.diaries
【知识点】其他题材;说明文
【解析】【分析】文章大意:本文主要讲述的是在别人眼里英语很难,但在作者眼里觉得很简单。他认为学习英语首先要有兴趣,其次要有一定的学习方法,此外还需多看杂志多练习。
【点评】考查语法填空。根据上下文语境,运用语法和词汇知识,反复推敲以求得解答,特别注意必须充分考虑到上下文具体语境,选择最佳答案。同时,在平时学习过程中也要注意词汇、固定搭配、句型等知识的熟练掌握。
41.句意:我学英语大约10年了,我很擅长英语。根据所提示单词learn学习,动词,可知这里表达的是一个持续到现在为止的动作或状态,即"学习英语"这个动作从过去某个时间点开始,一直持续到现在,并且可能还在继续。应该使用现在完成时态。现在完成时结构:主语+have/has+过去分词。learn的过去分词是learned。故填learned。
42.句意:现在让我告诉你一些我是如何学习英语的。根据所给单词tell告诉,动词以及空格前的let可知,let是使役动词,其后跟动词原形,故填tell。
43.句意:首先,我认为对英语的兴趣是学习英语最重要的事情。结合语境可知,这里指的是学习英语最重要的事情,所给单词important重要的,形容词,最高级是the most important,故填the most important。
44.句意:我对它很感兴趣,所以我努力学习。根据所提示词汇interest名词,兴趣,动词,使关注,固定短语be interested in对......感兴趣,此处表示对英语很感兴趣,故填interested。
45.句意:其次,英语是一门外语,所以我通过以下方式学好英语:认真听老师讲课,勇敢说话,大声朗读,积累良好的词汇量。根据句意可知,此处指的是英语是一门外语,表示泛指,foreign以辅音音素开头,用a表示"一",故填a。
46.句意:我也有一个好习惯——当我有问题时寻求帮助。固定短语ask for help寻求帮助,故填for。
47.句意:当我明白的时候,我是多么高兴啊! 分析句子可知,本句为感叹句,此处句型为How + 形容词(副词)+ 主语 + 谓语!因此此处用how引导,位于句首,首字母大写,故填How。
48.句意:我发现它有助于我很好地理解一些单词的意思。该句使用了"find + it + 形容词 + to do sth."的结构,其中it作为形式宾语,代替了真正的宾语"to help me understand the meanings of some words well"。这种结构使得句子更加平衡,避免了头重脚轻的情况。故填it。
49.句意:所以多做阅读是学好英语的重要方法。题干所给单词read阅读,动词,固定搭配do some reading做阅读,本句为do more reading做更多的阅读,故填reading。
50.句意:我也写英语日记。题干所提示词汇diary日记,名词,从句子 "And I also write English ..." 可以推断出,说话者不仅写英语日记,而且可能是经常写,或者至少写过几篇。使用复数形式可以暗示这一数量的概念,而不仅仅是单篇日记。因此此处应该用复数,diary的复数是diaries,故填diaries。
