He had to spend all his time lying on his back. Dale could sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was next to the room’s only window. Over time Clark and Dale became good friends. Every afternoon, Dale would look out of the room’s only window, describing the scenery outside for his friend. He told Clark about the flowers in a park outside the window, the people walking by, the green trees beside roads—anything that might interest a man. One morning, when a nurse came to check on the two men, she found that Dale had died in his sleep. As soon as the room seemed tidy again, Clark asked if he could move to the bed next to the window so that he could look out of the window himself. The nurse agreed. Slowly, he could take his first look at the world outside. To his surprise, he could see nothing but a blank wall of another building. The nurse explained that Dale had been blind. He had never seen anything outside the window at all—but he described beautiful scenes to help his friend feel better. 1. Who described the scenery outside for Clark? A. The doctor. B. The nurse. C. His family. D. His friend Dale. 2. Why did Clark want to move to the bed next to the window? A. He missed his friend very much. B. The bed there was tidier than his. C.

For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education. But how are these book-filled buildings changing with time? You may be surprised to find out. Benjamin Franklin famously founded (创建) America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1, 679 new libraries. Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read and use books, speeches and news. If you can easily find a public library in your community (社区), you’ll get more chances. The United States has 9, 225 public libraries and the number of libraries keeps growing. About seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet. Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images (图像) from the story happily. Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library. Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom (智慧) are never shut (关闭).” As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct! 12. How many public libraries have free Internet in America now? A. About 2, 767. B. About 6, 458. C. About 9, 225. D. About 1, 679. 13. The right order of the following statements is ①The public library system in America developed fast. ②America’s first lending library was founded. ③About seven tenths of America’s libraries have free Internet. ④Libraries try to bring people into the library by using creative programs. A. ②①③④ B. ②③④① C. ③④①② D. ①②③④ 14. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education. B. public libraries in the US should never close the doors. C. the writer doesn’t agree with Benjamin Franklin. D. libraries help people to open the doors of wisdom. 15. What can we learn from the passage? A. The libraries in the world. B. Libraries and opportunities. C. Libraries teach kids to read and learn. D. The development of the American libraries. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了美国图书馆的发展历史及作用，从1731年Benjamin创建第一个公共图书馆开始，图书馆在几百年间得到了迅速的发展。它对孩子的成长及美国人的教育起着重要的作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The United States has 9, 225 public libraries and the number of libraries keeps growing. About seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet.”可知，大约七成的图书馆有免费网络。美国共有9,225个公共图书馆，所以大约有6,458个图书馆有免费网络。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。短文给我们介绍了图书馆的发展历史，根据第二段“Benjamin Franklin famously founded (创建) America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800’s.”可知，首先是在1731年建立了第一个向外借书的图书馆；然后是在19世纪，美国的图书馆迅速发展；根据第四段“About seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet.”可知，接下来是大约十七成的图书馆有免费上网；根据最后一段“Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.”可知，最后是现在的图书馆使用创意的项目把人们带到图书馆中。综上所述，正确的顺序是②①③④。故选A。 【14题详解】 段落大意题。根据“The doors of wisdom (智慧) are never shut. As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!”可知，智慧的大门永远不会关闭，作者还补充说只要图书馆的门是开着的，Benjamin的话就一定是正确的。由此推断，这是在告诉我们图书馆可以帮助人们打开智慧之门。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通篇文章主要讲述了美国图书馆的发展历史、现状以及图书馆所提供的教育机会，即美国图书馆的发展。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题1分, 满分5分) When you speak, write a letter, or make a telephone, your words carry a message.

Lots of大量的；C. A few 有一些； D. Few几乎没有。根据句意“因为当他是一个小孩的时候他就离开了那里”加上三十的变化可知几乎没人认识他了。所以选择答案D。 【22题详解】 A 句意：当他停在一个小房子附近时，他看见一个老妇人坐在阳光下享受着阳光的沐浴。A. small小的；B. big大的；C. nice 好看的；D. beautiful漂亮的。根据下文的“He asks some neighbors to repair his aunt’s small old house”他叫一些邻居修理他阿姨的小的旧的房子，可知此处是小的房子。所以选择答案A。 【23题详解】 C 句意：她的眼睛闭起来了，她没有注意到有一个男人认真地看着她。考查语境理解。A. eye 眼睛，单数；B. mouth 嘴巴；C. eyes眼睛，复数；D. mouths嘴巴。可推测出是眼睛闭起来了，结合were可知用复数。所以选择答案C。 【24题详解】 B 句意：泪水从她的脸上落下来。考查动词词组辨析。run down落下；ran down落下，一般过去时；run away跑开；ran away跑开，一般过去时。根据句意“泪水……她的脸上”可知是泪水落下，结合前后句句子的时态都是一般过去时，可知此处也用一般过去时。所以选择答案B。 【25题详解】 A 句意：作为一个小村庄里12岁的小男孩。考查复合形容词的用法。twelve-year-old十二岁的；B项错误选项；twelve years old十二岁；D项错误选项。根据空格后的boy可知空格处应填个形容词性的，修饰boy。选A。 【26题详解】 C 句意：因此他去城市找工作。考查名词词义辨析。根据a 可知用job，因为work是不可数名词。所以选择答案C。 【27题详解】 A 句意：因此他再不能看到他的父母和他的姑姑了。not…any longer=no longer不再；no more=not… any more 不再。因为前面有否定词couldn’t，所以选择答案A。 【28题详解】 B 句意：史密斯先生只有一周假期。考查名词所有格的用法。根据不定冠词a排除C和D，结合句意“仅有一……假期”可推测出是一星期的，用名词的所有格。所以选择答案B。 【29题详解】 C 句意：他从未忘记当他遇到麻烦时经常帮他的格林老师。考查连词词义辨析。根据句意可推测出是当他遇到麻烦时，时间状语从句；结合while从句一般为进行时态，可知用when。所以选择答案C。 【30题详解】 A 句意：我能看看格林老师吗，先生？考查语境理解。A. Can 可以；B. Shall将要； C. Will将会；D. Must必须。根据句意可推测出此处是表示征求意见，口语表达常用情态动词can，所以选择答案A。 点睛：第5小题学生容易选C答案。C答案只能作表语，同样A答案也只能作定语。如：a five-meter-tall tree不能说成 a five meters tall tree；That girl is four years old. 不能表达为That girl is four- years-old. 第7小题要注意区分not …any more与not… any longer。not… any more从more上可以看出来，表示的数量上的增加，也就是说整个短语倾向于表达次数不能再增加；not …any longer从longer上可以看出来强调的时间不能延长。例如：I can't eat any more。我一点都吃不下了。这里就不能用not …any longer。如：I can't sleep any longer 我不能再睡了。表示时间的延续。 第二节语法填空。 (共10小题，每小题1. 5分，共15分。) Many people know Robert Schumann was an important musician, but they do not know that his wife, Clara Wieck Schumann, was in fact more popular than her husband in their time.

One day, I went to my parents’ house to visit them. While my mother was cooking some food in the kitchen, my father and I were waiting. Later I went into my parents’ room with him and he took out his guitar and started playing a slow song. Then I took out a violin and started playing along with him. Slowly, I became lost in the music. My father and I played like that for about 15 minutes. And when I turned around, my mother was standing there listening. I didn’t even realize she was there while I was playing. That was one of the few times that I was “truly” lost in the music. The funniest thing when I played with my father was that I wasn’t good at the violin. I was new at the instrument, but it was a slow song and my ability didn’t matter. That is what music is all about. Now many people are too focused on being good at their instrument or making lots of money with it, but not focused on the music. Although my job is to play the piano, I never really want to use it to make money. I play because it brings me great happiness, and I love everything about it. 41.

He told Clark about the flowers in a park outside the window, the people walking by, the green trees beside roads—anything that might interest a man. One morning, when a nurse came to check on the two men, she found that Dale had died in his sleep. As soon as the room seemed tidy again, Clark asked if he could move to the bed next to the window so that he could look out of the window himself. The nurse agreed. Slowly, he could take his first look at the world outside. To his surprise, he could see nothing but a blank wall of another building. The nurse explained that Dale had been blind.

For over 100 years libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education. But how are these book-filled buildings changing with time? You may be surprised to find out. Benjamin Franklin famously founded (创建) America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1, 679 new libraries. Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read and use books, speeches and news. If you can easily find a public library in your community (社区), you’ll get more chances. The United States has 9, 225 public libraries and the number of libraries keeps growing. About seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet. Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images (图像) from the story happily. Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library. Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom (智慧) are never shut (关闭).” As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct! 12. How many public libraries have free Internet in America now? A. About 2, 767. B. About 6, 458. C. About 9, 225. D. About 1, 679. 13. The right order of the following statements is ①The public library system in America developed fast. ②America’s first lending library was founded. ③About seven tenths of America’s libraries have free Internet. ④Libraries try to bring people into the library by using creative programs. A. ②①③④ B. ②③④① C. ③④①② D. ①②③④ 14. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education. B. public libraries in the US should never close the doors. C. the writer doesn’t agree with Benjamin Franklin. D. libraries help people to open the doors of wisdom. 15. What can we learn from the passage? A. The libraries in the world. B. Libraries and opportunities. C. Libraries teach kids to read and learn. D. The development of the American libraries. 第二节(共5小题;每小题1分, 满分5分) When you speak, write a letter, or make a telephone, your words carry a message.

One day, I went to my parents’ house to visit them. While my mother was cooking some food in the kitchen, my father and I were waiting. Later I went into my parents’ room with him and he took out his guitar and started playing a slow song. Then I took out a violin and started playing along with him. Slowly, I became lost in the music. My father and I played like that for about 15 minutes. And when I turned around, my mother was standing there listening. I didn’t even realize she was there while I was playing. That was one of the few times that I was “truly” lost in the music. The funniest thing when I played with my father was that I wasn’t good at the violin. I was new at the instrument, but it was a slow song and my ability didn’t matter. That is what music is all about. Now many people are too focused on being good at their instrument, or making lots of money with it, but not focused on the music. Although my job is to play the piano, I never really want to use it to make money. I play because it brings me great happiness, and I love everything about it. 41.
