A. eaten up B. made up C. stayed up D. put up 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——约翰，你为什么在课堂上看起来这么困？——对不起，老师。昨天晚上我熬夜看足球赛了。 考查动词短语。eaten up吃光；made up编造；stayed up熬夜；put up张贴。根据“Why do you look so sleepy in class, John?”可知很困倦，因此是熬夜看足球赛了。故选C。 12. — We wonder if she ________ the right way the nearest post office. — I will check it as soon as she ________.

A. Until the work will be done B. Until the work is done C. Not until the work will be done D. Not until the work is done 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们什么时候去体育中心看篮球比赛？——明天完成工作后才能去。问句是一般将来时态，回答时主句也应该用一般将来时，只不过省略了。当主句是一般将来时态时，（not）until引导的时间状语从句用一般现在时表示将来。排除A,C选项。until意思是“到……为止”，主句表示的动作已经结束；not until意思是“直到……才”，主句表示的动作才刚刚开始。结合句意可知，明天完成工作后才能去体育中心看篮球比赛，故答案为D。 14. — Could you tell me _________? — Sorry, I don’t know. A. if light travelled faster than sound B. when he has kept the history book C. which is the way to the post office D. how long he has bought the book 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能告诉我去邮局怎么走吗？——对不起，我不知道。 考查宾语从句。if light travelled faster than sound光是否比声音传播得快，光的速度比声音快，这是客观事实，用一般现在时，排除A项；when he has kept the history book他何时保存的历史书，keep是延续性动词，与时间段连用，when是时间点，排除B项；which is the way to the post office哪一个是去邮局的路；how long he has bought the book他买这本书多长时间了，与时间段连用，用延续性动词，排除D项。故选C。 15. —I love the Internet.

That’s not the case 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我爱上网。我在网络上认识了很多朋友。——事实并非如此。很少有人会成为你真正的朋友。 本题考查情景交际。I can’t agree more.非常赞同；I’m pleased to know that.我很高兴知道这一点；That’s for sure.那是肯定的；That’s not the case.事实并非如此。根据“Few of them would become your real friends.”可知他并不赞同“I’ve come to know many friends on the net.”这个观点。故选D。 三. 完形填空 （共15小题，每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。 My mother used to ask me, “What is the most important part of the body?” When I was younger, I thought ___16___ was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ear, Mommy.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf. ___17___ thinking about it.” I hardly remember this question ___18___ she asked me again several years later.

But recently, the “seafood” produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear- contaminated water (核污染水) into the sea. In Nilka county (尼勒克县) in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout (虹鳟鱼) will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to the same family as salmon (鲑鱼), which is a kind of well-known seafood. It tastes like salmon too. Why do farmers there choose to grow fish? The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater (融水) from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10 ℃. As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company said. To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages (网箱) hat are good for the environment. The nets are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river. Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimp (南美白对虾) grows well. Saline soil (盐碱土) covers a large part of the desert where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water. Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other components (成分). Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea. 34. Rainbow trout comfortably live in ________. A. any open water area B. warm and clean rivers C. salty and warm oceans D. cold and clean rivers 35. People turn their eyes from Japan’s seafood to Xinjiang’s because ________. A. Xinjiang’s seafood is much tastier B. the sea environment is polluted C. people find a new ocean in Xinjiang D. Xinjiang produces all kinds of seafood 36. To avoid water pollution caused by growing fish, the company ________. ①cleans the water with machines ②grows fish in fixed water areas ③grows one kind of fish once a year ④cuts down the fish production (产出) A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①②③ D. ②③④ 37. What can you infer (推断) from the passage? A. Life will not be different without seafood. B. Japan shouldn’t let out nuclear-contaminated water. C. China won’t be short of fishery products. D. Xinjiang is rich in natural resources. 【答案】34. D 35. B 36. A 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了新疆和内蒙古的“海鲜”很受欢迎，并且介绍了虹鳟鱼和南美白对虾的养殖方法。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a ‘comfortable’ home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company said.”可知虹鳟鱼生活在干净寒冷的水中。故选D。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia. But recently, the ‘seafood’ produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear-contaminated water into the sea.”可知是因为海洋环境受到污染。故选B。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water.”和“Scientists then decided to create ‘seawater’ with the salty water by adding in some other components...They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea.”可知为避免养殖鱼类对水体造成污染，该公司使用机器清理水中的鱼粪，在固定水域养鱼。故选A。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In Nilka county in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout will be produced this year.”以及“Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimp grows well”可知，在新疆尼尔卡县，今年将生产约6000吨虹鳟，在内蒙古，南美白对虾生长良好，可推知中国不会缺少鱼类产品。故选C。 C Is there anybody you dislike? Well, maybe you don’t really dislike them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦). Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves. Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and relatives. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long. If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it. Accept it Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it. Stop making excuses for it You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life. Forgive and forget it You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the others. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind. 38. According to the passage, bitterness comes from ________. A. our health problems like heart disease B. the feeling we have when hurting others C. the anger that lives deep inside our mind D. our relationships with friends and relatives 39. The best way to deal with the bitterness is ________. A. only to accept that you are hurt by others B. to hate the person who hurts us very often C. to make the person who hurts us look bad D. to forgive the person who hurts us and forget it 40. What can we learn from the passage? A. We should enjoy someone who hurts us. B. We should pay more attention to our friends. C. It’s better to let bitterness go along with the other person. D. The peace of mind is more important than the hurt itself. 【答案】38. C 39. D 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要是讲述一些解决生活中愤怒的方法。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow.”可知，我们没有控制愤怒，而是把它深藏在内心，不久一种痛苦的感觉开始滋长。故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the others. Forget it and move on.”可知，作者建议原谅其他人，忘记它，继续前进。所以处理痛苦的最好方法是原谅伤害我们的人，然后忘记它。故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the others. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.”可知，可能无法完全把愤怒从你的脑海中抹去。但你可以决定原谅其他人。忘记它，继续前进。你会享受到更好的健康和内心的平静。由此可知，心灵的平静比伤痛本身更重要。故选D。 D "Well, I'll eat the cake," Alice said. "If I get taller, I can reach the key on the table. And if get smaller, I can go under the door into the garden. "Then she finished the cake very soon. "I shall be as tall as a house in a minute," she said. She tried to look down at her feet, and could only just see them. Just then her head hit the ceiling （天花板） of the room. She was now about three meters tall quickly, she took the key from the table and hurried to the garden door. But she was too tall to go through the door. She began to cry. The tears （泪水） ran down her face, and soon there was large pool of salt water all around her on the floor. Suddenly she heard a voice, and she stopped crying to listen. "Oh, the Duchess （公爵夫人）, the Duchess! She'll be very angry! I'm late, and she's waiting for me. Oh dear, oh dear!" It was the White Rabbit again. He was hurrying down the long room, with a pair of white gloves in one hand and a fan in the other hand. Alice was afraid, but she needed help. So she said in a low voice, "Oh, please, sir." Her voice frightened （使惊恐） the Rabbit. He dropped the gloves and the fan, and ran away quickly. Alice picked up the gloves and the fan. The room was very hot, so she cooled down with the fan. She said, "Oh dear! How strange everything is today! Shall I get smaller during the night?" She began to feel very unhappy again, but then she looked down at her hand. She was wearing one of the Rabbit's white gloves. "How did I get it on my hand?" she thought." Oh, I'm getting smaller again! I'm already less than a meter tall and getting smaller every second! How can I stop it?" She saw the fan in her other hand. "It must be the fan!" she thought, and quickly she dropped it. She was now very, very small, and the key was still lying on the table. "Things are worse than ever," thought poor Alice. She turned away from the door, and fell into salt water, right up to her neck. At first, she thought it was the sea, but then she saw it was the pool of her own tears. "Oh, why did I cry so much?" said Alice. She swam around and looked for a way out, but the pool was very big. Just then she saw an animal in the water near her. It looked like a large animal to Alice, but it was only a mouse. "Shall I speak to it?" thought Alice. "Everything is very strange here, so perhaps a mouse can speak." Then she began, "Oh, mouse, do you know the way out of this pool? I am very tired of swimming." But the mouse looked at her with its little eyes and said nothing. "Perhaps it doesn't understand English," thought Alice. "Perhaps it's a French mouse." So she began again, and said in French, "Where is my cat?" （This was first sentence in her French book.） The mouse jumped half out of the water and looked at her angrily. "Oh, I'm sorry!" cried Alice quickly. "Of course, you don't like cats, do you?" "No. I don't like cats," the mouse replied. （Adapted from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland） 41.

But recently, the “seafood” produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear- contaminated water (核污染水) into the sea. In Nilka county (尼勒克县) in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout (虹鳟鱼) will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to the same family as salmon (鲑鱼), which is a kind of well-known seafood. It tastes like salmon too. Why do farmers there choose to grow fish? The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater (融水) from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10 ℃. As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company said. To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages (网箱) hat are good for the environment. The nets are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river. Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimp (南美白对虾) grows well. Saline soil (盐碱土) covers a large part of the desert where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water. Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other components (成分). Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea. 34. Rainbow trout comfortably live in ________.

What can you infer (推断) from the passage? A. Life will not be different without seafood. B. Japan shouldn’t let out nuclear-contaminated water. C. China won’t be short of fishery products. D. Xinjiang is rich in natural resources. C Is there anybody you dislike? Well, maybe you don’t really dislike them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦). Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves. Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and relatives. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long. If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it. Accept it Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it. Stop making excuses for it You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life. Forgive and forget it You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the others. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind. 38. According to the passage bitterness comes from ________. A. our health problems like heart disease B. the feeling we have when hurting others C. the anger that lives deep inside our mind D. our relationships with friends and relatives 39. The best way to deal with the bitterness is ________. A. only to accept that you are hurt by others B. to hate the person who hurts us very often C. to make the person who hurts us look bad D. to forgive the person who hurts us and forget it 40. What can we learn from the passage? A. We should enjoy someone who hurts us. B. We should pay more attention to our friends. C. It’s better to let bitterness go along with the other person. D. The peace of mind is more important than the hurt itself. D "Well, I'll eat the cake," Alice said. "If I get taller, I can reach the key on the table. And if get smaller, I can go under the door into the garden. "Then she finished the cake very soon. "I shall be as tall as a house in a minute," she said. She tried to look down at her feet, and could only just see them. Just then her head hit the ceiling （天花板） of the room. She was now about three meters tall quickly, she took the key from the table and hurried to the garden door. But she was too tall to go through the door. She began to cry. The tears （泪水） ran down her face, and soon there was large pool of salt water all around her on the floor. Suddenly she heard a voice, and she stopped crying to listen. "Oh, the Duchess （公爵夫人）, the Duchess! She'll be very angry! I'm late, and she's waiting for me. Oh dear, oh dear!" It was the White Rabbit again. He was hurrying down the long room, with a pair of white gloves in one hand and a fan in the other hand. Alice was afraid, but she needed help. So she said in a low voice, "Oh, please, sir." Her voice frightened （使惊恐） the Rabbit. He dropped the gloves and the fan, and ran away quickly. Alice picked up the gloves and the fan. The room was very hot, so she cooled down with the fan. She said, "Oh dear! How strange everything is today! Shall I get smaller during the night?" She began to feel very unhappy again, but then she looked down at her hand. She was wearing one of the Rabbit's white gloves. "How did I get it on my hand?" she thought." Oh, I'm getting smaller again! I'm already less than a meter tall and getting smaller every second! How can I stop it?" She saw the fan in her other hand. "It must be the fan!" she thought, and quickly she dropped it. She was now very, very small, and the key was still lying on the table. "Things are worse than ever," thought poor Alice. She turned away from the door, and fell into salt water, right up to her neck. At first, she thought it was the sea, but then she saw it was the pool of her own tears. "Oh, why did I cry so much?" said Alice. She swam around and looked for a way out, but the pool was very big. Just then she saw an animal in the water near her. It looked like a large animal to Alice, but it was only a mouse. "Shall I speak to it?" thought Alice. "Everything is very strange here, so perhaps a mouse can speak." Then she began, "Oh, mouse, do you know the way out of this pool? I am very tired of swimming." But the mouse looked at her with its little eyes and said nothing. "Perhaps it doesn't understand English," thought Alice. "Perhaps it's a French mouse." So she began again, and said in French, "Where is my cat?" （This was first sentence in her French book.） The mouse jumped half out of the water and looked at her angrily. "Oh, I'm sorry!" cried Alice quickly. "Of course, you don't like cats, do you?" "No. I don't like cats," the mouse replied. （Adapted from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland） 41.
