A. already; ever B. ever; already C. yet; already 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你已经吃午饭了吗？——是的，我已经吃了。 考查副词辨析。already已经，常用于肯定句中；ever曾经；yet已经，通常用在否定或疑问句的句末。根据“Have you had lunch ...”可知，此处是问是否已经吃饭，空处位于疑问句句末，用yet；根据“I’ve ... had it.”可知，空二处表示已经吃了，位于肯定句中，用already。故选C。 2. —My grandpa has never seen the changes in Beijing herself. —________. A. Neither has my grandpa B. So has my grandpa C. Neither my grandpa has 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我的爷爷从来没有见过北京的变化。——我的爷爷也是。 考查倒装句。根据“My grandpa has never seen the changes in Beijing herself.”可知，句子是否定句，结合选项可知，此处是指前者的否定情况也适应用于后者，用“neither+助动词/情态动词/be动词+主语”的结构，时态是现在完成时，主语是三单，助动词用has。故选A。 3.

A. two fifths; was B. two fifths; were C. two fifth; were 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：工厂里大约五分之二的工人是60后。 考查分数和主谓一致。two fifths五分之二；two fifth表达错误；was是，主语为单数名词或不可数名词；were是，主语是复数名词。结合“...of the workers”可知，这里是指五分之二的工人，所以第一空要用“two fifths”；“分数+of+名词”作主语，谓语动词的数由名词来定，此处为名词复数workers，第二空要用“were”。故选B。 7. —________ will you be able to finish the project? —In two weeks, I think.

Their eyesight was poor but they still had a young heart. Mildred’s son just bought a car. One day the two ladies decided to go for a ride in the car. However, the car was so large that neither of them could see over the dashboard (仪表盘). “Let’s drive it anyway. It’s exciting,” Mildred said. As they were driving along, they came to an intersection. The light was red, but they drove through. Mildred’s friend was sitting in the passenger seat. She thought to herself, “We seemed to go through a red light just now. But I’m not sure.” After a few minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red again. And again they went right through. This time Mildred’s friend was almost sure that the light was red, but she was still worried that she might be wrong. She was getting nervous and decided to pay very close attention to the road the next time. At the next intersection, she was quite sure that the light was red and that they went right through. She turned to Mildred and said, “Did you know that we just ran through the red light? You could have killed us.” Mildred turned to her and said, “Oh dear! Am I driving?” 31.

A study found that first-borns have an average (平均的) IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay. If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are usually more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article, “The power of Birth Order”, last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen. Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored (忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is spoiled (宠坏的). Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults. Many factors make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors. 36. Who is most likely to be a CEO? A. A first-born. B. A second-born. C. A third-born. D. A last-born. 37. What can we learn about Jim Carrey? A. He was likely to be given low pay. B. He was likely to be agreeable. C. He was a first-born. D. He was a middle child. 38. What does the underlined word “short-changed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Unfair. B. Lucky. C. Comfortable. D. Satisfied. 39. What can we learn from the research? A. Birth order has no influence on IQ. B. Birth order matters a lot at the dinner table C. Birth order may decide who we are. D. Birth order is a factor in making us powerful. 40. What would be the best title for the text? A. Where Is Your Place in the Family? B. Who Improves Your Social Skills? C. What Makes You Successful in Life? D. How Can You Grow into a Big Man? 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. A 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了出生顺序对人的影响。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns.”可知，第一个出生的孩子最有可能成为首席执行官，故选A。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are usually more agreeable.”及“ Jim Carrey was the youngest of four”可知，他是最小的，通常更容易被接受。故选B。 【38题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is spoiled (宠坏的). Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults.”可知，此处是中间出生的孩子可能会受到不公平待遇，故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Many factors make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.”可知，出生顺序可能会成为“我们会是什么样的人”的一个重要影响因素。故选C。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“Birth order—does it matter?”及全文可知，本文主要讲述了出生顺序对人影响，A选项最为符合。故选A。 D Researchers who examined DNA from famous German musician Ludwig van Beethoven have found something new about his health. They found that he had a risk for liver (肝脏) disease. The DNA also showed that Beethoven caught the virus hepatitis B (乙肝病毒) in the last months of his life. The virus hurts the liver. The findings suggest Beethoven’s liver problems were enough to cause the liver failure widely believed to have killed him. The musician was also believed to have been a heavy drinker, which can influence the liver. The musician himself wrote that he wanted doctors to study his health problems after he died. Axel Schmidt is a researcher who helped lead the research. He said that Beethoven’s sicknesses had “sometimes prevented his creative work”. Schmidt added that for many doctors, “it has always been a mystery” what exactly killed him. Since his death, scientists have long tried to piece together Beethoven’s medical history. And they have offered many explanations for his many health conditions. But new examination technology and methods now make it possible to revisit (再次讨论) health and death information by studying ancient DNA. The DNA were collected from hair cut from Beethoven’s head. Getting enough genetic (遗传的) material was difficult because DNA in hair gets cut up into very small pieces. But finally, after using up almost 3 meters of Beethoven’s hair, the team finished it. The question of what caused Beethoven’s hearing loss remains unanswered, said Ohio State University’s Dr Cooper. He said that the mystery might continue forever because DNA can not show us everything about our health. However, Cooper added that the mystery is part of what makes Beethoven so interesting and popular. “The fact that we can’t know is OK,” he said. 41. What did researchers find by examining Beethoven’s DNA? A. Why he kept fit in the last months. B. How he caught the virus hepatitis B. C. What might have caused his death. D. What he drank most while young. 42. It is still a mystery to people ________ according to the passage. A. why Beethoven couldn’t hear B. what stopped Beethoven from creating music C. how many explanations there were for Beethoven’s death D. what made it possible to revisit Beethoven’s death information 43. What difficulty did scientists have in examining Beethoven’s DNA? A. The technology was out of date. B. It was hard to collect enough DNA. C. There wasn’t enough time to do research. D. It took a lot of time to find Beethoven’s hair. 44. What did Beethoven ask doctors to do? A. Examine his DNA later. B. Develop his creativity. C. Keep his mystery forever. D. Make a study of his health. 45. What does Cooper think of Beethoven’s mystery? A. It may live a long time. B. It will be cleared up soon. C. It is a headache for scientists. D. It encourages people to study DNA. 【答案】41. C 42. A 43. B 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了通过研究贝多芬的DNA，科学家发现了他患有肝病和乙肝病毒的风险，这可能是导致他去世的原因。同时，尽管新技术使得通过古代DNA研究健康状况成为可能，但贝多芬听力损失的原因仍是个谜。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They found that he had a risk for liver (肝脏) disease…The findings suggest Beethoven’s liver problems were enough to cause the liver failure widely believed to have killed him.”可知，研究人员通过检查贝多芬的DNA发现了可能导致他死亡的原因。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The question of what caused Beethoven’s hearing loss remains unanswered”可知，贝多芬失聪的原因仍然是一个谜。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Getting enough genetic (遗传的) material was difficult because DNA in hair gets cut up into very small pieces.”可知，科学家在检查贝多芬的DNA时遇到的困难是很难收集到足够的DNA。故选B。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The musician himself wrote that he wanted doctors to study his health problems after he died.”可知，贝多芬要求医生在他死后研究他的健康问题。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据“the mystery might continue forever because DNA can not show us everything about our health”可知，Cooper认为贝多芬的谜团可能会长期存在。故选A。 E Whether it's one day off or a week, you don't need to be among people to have a great time. _____46_____ You can spend your holiday on your own doing something you have no time to do in your everyday life.

Mildred’s son just bought a car. One day the two ladies decided to go for a ride in the car. However, the car was so large that neither of them could see over the dashboard (仪表盘). “Let’s drive it anyway. It’s exciting,” Mildred said. As they were driving along, they came to an intersection. The light was red, but they drove through. Mildred’s friend was sitting in the passenger seat. She thought to herself, “We seemed to go through a red light just now. But I’m not sure.” After a few minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red again. And again they went right through. This time Mildred’s friend was almost sure that the light was red, but she was still worried that she might be wrong. She was getting nervous and decided to pay very close attention to the road the next time. At the next intersection, she was quite sure that the light was red and that they went right through. She turned to Mildred and said, “Did you know that we just ran through the red light? You could have killed us.” Mildred turned to her and said, “Oh dear! Am I driving?” 31. What do we know about the two ladies? A. They had good eyesight. B. They were in poor health. C. They were not tall enough. D. They didn’t know how to drive. 32.

C Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine? A study found that first-borns have an average (平均的) IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay. If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are usually more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article, “The power of Birth Order”, last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen. Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored (忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is spoiled (宠坏的). Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults. Many factors make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors. 36. Who is most likely to be a CEO? A. A first-born. B. A second-born. C. A third-born. D. A last-born. 37 What can we learn about Jim Carrey? A. He was likely to be given low pay. B. He was likely to be agreeable. C. He was a first-born. D. He was a middle child. 38. What does the underlined word “short-changed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Unfair. B. Lucky. C. Comfortable. D. Satisfied. 39. What can we learn from the research? A. Birth order has no influence on IQ. B. Birth order matters a lot at the dinner table C. Birth order may decide who we are. D. Birth order is a factor in making us powerful. 40. What would be the best title for the text? A Where Is Your Place in the Family? B. Who Improves Your Social Skills? C. What Makes You Successful in Life? D. How Can You Grow into a Big Man? D Researchers who examined DNA from famous German musician Ludwig van Beethoven have found something new about his health. They found that he had a risk for liver (肝脏) disease. The DNA also showed that Beethoven caught the virus hepatitis B (乙肝病毒) in the last months of his life. The virus hurts the liver. The findings suggest Beethoven’s liver problems were enough to cause the liver failure widely believed to have killed him. The musician was also believed to have been a heavy drinker, which can influence the liver. The musician himself wrote that he wanted doctors to study his health problems after he died. Axel Schmidt is a researcher who helped lead the research. He said that Beethoven’s sicknesses had “sometimes prevented his creative work”. Schmidt added that for many doctors, “it has always been a mystery” what exactly killed him. Since his death, scientists have long tried to piece together Beethoven’s medical history. And they have offered many explanations for his many health conditions. But new examination technology and methods now make it possible to revisit (再次讨论) health and death information by studying ancient DNA. The DNA were collected from hair cut from Beethoven’s head. Getting enough genetic (遗传的) material was difficult because DNA in hair gets cut up into very small pieces. But finally, after using up almost 3 meters of Beethoven’s hair, the team finished it. The question of what caused Beethoven’s hearing loss remains unanswered, said Ohio State University’s Dr Cooper. He said that the mystery might continue forever because DNA can not show us everything about our health. However, Cooper added that the mystery is part of what makes Beethoven so interesting and popular. “The fact that we can’t know is OK,” he said. 41. What did researchers find by examining Beethoven’s DNA? A. Why he kept fit in the last months. B. How he caught the virus hepatitis B. C. What might have caused his death. D. What he drank most while young. 42. It is still a mystery to people ________ according to the passage. A. why Beethoven couldn’t hear B. what stopped Beethoven from creating music C. how many explanations there were for Beethoven’s death D. what made it possible to revisit Beethoven’s death information 43. What difficulty did scientists have in examining Beethoven’s DNA? A. The technology was out of date. B. It was hard to collect enough DNA. C. There wasn’t enough time to do research. D. It took a lot of time to find Beethoven’s hair. 44. What did Beethoven ask doctors to do? A. Examine his DNA later. B. Develop his creativity. C. Keep his mystery forever. D. Make a study of his health. 45. What does Cooper think of Beethoven’s mystery? A. It may live a long time. B. It will be cleared up soon. C. It is a headache for scientists. D. It encourages people to study DNA. E Whether it's one day off or a week, you don't need to be among people to have a great time. _____46_____ You can spend your holiday on your own doing something you have no time to do in your everyday life. Eat your favorite foods. They can bring you much pleasure for sure. You can make a healthy meal at home. Cook something you love but usually don't have time to make.
