A．makes B．made C．has made D．will make 【答案】C 【详解】句意：迈克·史密斯来中国15年了，他结交了许多中国朋友。 考查动词时态。上文“Mike Smith has been in China for fifteen years”是现在完成时，根据and并列成分和时态要一致的原则可知此处也用现在完成时。故选C。 2．________ exercise every day makes us _________. A．Doing；health B．Doing；healthy C．Do；health D．Do；healthy 【答案】B 【详解】句意：每天锻炼使我们健康。 考查动名词和形容词。“锻炼”在句中作主语时应用动名词形式，故第一空应填Doing；“make + sb. + adj.”是固定结构，意为“使得某人怎么样”，health是名词，healthy是形容词，故后空应填healthy。故选B。 3．Of the three foreigners, one is from London, ________ two are from New York. A．other B．the other C．another D．some other 【答案】B 【详解】句意：这三个外国人中，一个来自伦敦，其余两个来自纽约。 考查代词。other其他的，后常加名词复数；the other两者中的另一个；another三者或三者以上的另一个；some other另外的。此处根据“one is from London...two are from New York.”可知是one...the other“一个……另一个”的用法，故选B。 4．They ________ in 2008 and they have had a happy family ________ 2008. A．were married; since B．got married; in C．married; from D．got married; since 【答案】D 【详解】句意：他们在2008年结婚，从2008年开始他们就拥有了幸福的家庭。 考查一般过去时和现在完成时。根据“in2008”可知第一空应用过去时，“结婚”用固定短语get married来表示；根据“have had”可知为现在完成时，从而确定时间状语为“since2008”，“since+过去时间”与现在完成时连用。故选D。 5．When the woman had free time, she _________ shopping on Sundays. A．used to going B．get used to going C．was used to going D．was used to go 【答案】C 【详解】句意：当这位女士有空闲时间时，她习惯于在周日去购物。 考查use的用法。used to do sth“过去常常做某事”；be/get used to doing sth“习惯于做某事”，be used to do sth“被用来做某事”。A项用法错误，排除A；因为前句使用过去时态，所以空处要保持时态一致，排除B；表示习惯于周日购物，C项符合语法和语境。故选C。 6．--- Have you got any information about your missing dog? --- _________. We are still looking for it. A．Not yet B．I hope not C．I think so D．Of course 【答案】A 【详解】句意：——你有关于你走失狗的消息吗？——还没有，我们还在寻找。考查情景交际。A. Not yet还没有；B. I hope not我希望不会；C. I think so我也这么认为；D. Of course当然可以。根据We are still looking for it.可知狗还没有找到，所以    A选项符合语境，故答案选A。 7．—When will Diana arrive? —Oh, she . She is in the meeting room now. A．arrives B．is arriving C．arrived D．has arrived 【答案】D 【详解】试题分析：句意：—Diana什么时候到达？—哦，她已经到了。她现在在会议室。根据句意：在对话之前，Diana已经到了，而且在会议室。表示在过去某一事件发生的某一动作对现在造成了影响或产生了结果，用现在完成时，故选D。 考点：考查动词时态。 8．—I have seen the fashion show on TV with my cousin at home. —When _________ you _________ it? A．will; see B．have; seen C．did; see D．do; see 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——我在家已经和我的表妹在电视上看过时装秀了。——你们什么时候看的？ 考查动词时态。由前句可知已看过时装秀了，所以问句中的when是指过去的时间，此处应用一般过去时。故选C。 9．— _________ is it from your home to our school? — About half an hour’s walk. A．How long B．How often C．How much D．How far 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——从你家到我们学校有多远？   ——步行约半小时。 考查特殊疑问句。How long多长/多长时间，问事物的长度或对一段时间提问；How often多久一次，提问频率；How much多少，对不可数名词的数量提问；How far多远，提问两地之间的距离。根据答句“About half an hour’s walk”可知，问句是对两地之间的距离提问，应用How far来引导。故选D。 10．It _________ five years since we last _________ each other. A．is; has seen B．is; saw C．was; saw D．has been; have seen 【答案】B 【详解】句意：自从我们上次见面已经过去五年了。 考查动词时态。“It has been/is+一段时间+since+一般过去时”是固定句型，意为“自……以来有多长时间了”。故选B。 11．— _________ have you studied in this middle school? — Since two years _________. A．How long; before B．How much time; before C．How soon; ago D．How long; ago 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——你在这所中学学习多久了？——自从两年前（就来学习了）。 考查特殊疑问词。how long多长；how much多少；how soon多久。答句为“since+一段时间+ ago”结构，相当于“for+一段时间”，排除AB选项，对时间段提问要用疑问词how long。故选D。 12．The new flat _________ Mr and Mrs Chen much money. A．spent B．cost C．bought D．paid 【答案】B 【详解】句意：这套新公寓花了陈先生和陈太太许多钱。 考查动词辨析。spent花费，主语为人；cost花费，主语为物；bought买，主语为人；paid付费，主语为人。主语“The new flat” 是物，故动词应用cost。故选B。 13．It is a good way to spend as much time as you can ________ English every day. A．to read B．read C．reading D．reads 【答案】C 【详解】句意：每天花尽可能多的时间读英语是个好方法。 考查动名词作宾语。spend time doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“花时间做某事”，使用动名词作宾语。故选C。 14．________ great time it is to walk at the beach! A．What a B．What C．How a D．How 【答案】A 【详解】句意：在海滩上散步是多么美好的时光啊！ 考查感叹句。感叹句的句式“what+不定冠词+形容词+单数可数名词+（主谓）”；“what+形容词+复数可数名词+（主谓）”；“what+形容词+不可数名词+（主谓）”；“How+形容词或副词+（主谓）”；根据“great time”是“形容词+名词”结构，可知用what句式，排除C和D；根据“walk at the beach”可知此处time指“具体的时间段”，是可数名词，排除B。故选A。 15．—I have just got an A in English. —_________. A．You’ve done a good job B．It can’t be worse C．It’s too good to be wrong D．You’re welcome 【答案】A 【详解】句意：——我的英语得了A。——干得不错！ 考查情景交际。You’ve done a good job干得不错；It can’t be worse不能更糟了；It’s too good to be wrong这太好了以至于不可能是错的；You’re welcome不客气。根据上句“I have just got an A in English”可知，答句应表达赞赏和肯定。故选A。 二、完形填空（共10小题；毎小题1分,满分10分） 请通读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。 Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs.

I’m going to find out the person who took my lunch. Then he’ll be sorry. I’ll really fix him. Or maybe it’s a her. Either way, I’ll get even. Then during the spelling class, I kept thinking about the lunchbag thief (贼) so that I asked to be excused to go to the bathroom. As I went out, I picked up the lunchbag closest to the door. I was about to kick it away when I felt a hand on my shoulder, and there was Mr. Fridley. “What do you think you’re doing?” he asked, and this time he wasn’t being funny at all. “Go ahead and tell the head teacher,” I said. “Sec if I care.” “Maybe you don’t,” he said, “but I do.” That surprised me. Then Mr. Fridley said, “I don’t want to see a boy like you get into trouble, and that’s where you’re headed.” “I don’t have any friends in this terrible school.” I don’t know why I said that. I guess I felt I had to say something. “Who wants to be friends with someone who scowls (绷着脸) all the time?”asked Mr. Fridley. “Turning into a mean-eyed (刻薄的) lunch-kicker won’t help anything,” said Mr. Fridley. “You should think in another way.” “How?” I asked. “That’s for you to work out,” he said and gave me a little push toward my classroom. Nobody noticed me put the lunchbag back on the floor. (—Adapted from Dear Mr. Henshaw) 29．How did the writer feel when he found his lunchbag missing? A．Sad. B．Surprised. C．Afraid.

D．The writer should not complain about others because of his lunch. 【答案】29．D 30．A 31．D 【导语】本文讲述了作者因为自己的午餐袋被偷想要报复，结果被 Fridley 先生制止的事情。 29．细节理解题。根据“when I found my little lunchbag missing, I blew my top. I’m going to find out the person who took my lunch. Then he’ll be sorry. I’ll really fix him.”可知，作者发现他的午餐袋不见了后很生气。故选D。 30．推理判断题。根据“Nobody noticed me put the lunchbag back on the floor.”可知，作者在没人注意的情况下把午餐袋放回地上。由此推知他采纳了Fridley 先生的建议。故选A。 31．词句猜测题。通读全文可知，作者的午餐袋被偷了，他很生气并想着要报复。于是他借故去洗手间时拿起了一个靠近门的午餐袋，想把它踢开。Fridley 先生劝导作者不要因为一时的愤怒而做让自己陷入麻烦的事情，并暗示作者应换一种方式来解决问题。结合选项推知，Fridley先生说这句话是想作者不要因为自己的午餐而抱怨别人。故选D。 C ①My daughter gave me a new address book for my birthday. She knows the one I often use is very old now. The gift is lovely: the cover is colourful, and the pages are white. But I don’t feel like I am free to use this new address book because I’m still tied to my old one. ②My old address book tells my own story—the way I moved around. Names were added in different colours from different periods of my life. When I moved back home to Niagara, my address book included the old information I needed in order to be able to get in touch with some of my old friends again. ③There are certainly stories of friendships in this book—the comings and goings of my friends. Their addresses have been corrected again and again, filling up one line after another. I have started using pencil for some of them because they are taking up too much space! Some friends went on to marry each other. For such things, I used arrows (箭头) to show how these two families had become one. Children’s names were added one by one. Then some got their own lines as they moved out. ④This book also includes the stories of my family—two generations (一代人) of relatives. I can remember all their phone numbers, and I can picture their houses in detail. Some have died, but their addresses are still there in my book. ⑤“Don’t you have all that on your phone?” My daughter, who never uses address books, once asked me when she saw me checking my address book. I know that having it on a phone is very useful and can save a lot of trouble. But making changes on a phone is always done completely. When you don’t see a person any more, you delete (删除) all his information. It’s like he was never there. ⑥My old address book now sits on top of the new one. The magnet on its cover is as strong as ever, keeping all the people from A to Z in order. But my new address book whispers a story of new possibilities. It offers me space for those new friends that I haven’t met yet. I’ll get to it. It’s just a matter of time. 32．The old information in the old address book can help the writer _________. A．move back home to Niagara B．connect with old friends again C．move around the world D．make more new friends 33．Why does the writer dislike keeping friends’ information on a phone? A．Because she finds it not easy to use a phone. B．Because she wants to be different from the younger. C．Because it’s impossible to get back to the information if it is deleted. D．Because she has to depend on her daughter to manage the information. 34．What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A．The writer doesn’t like the new address book. B．The writer will start to use the new address book soon. C．The writer has decided to throw her old address book away. D．The writer decides to put all her friends’ information into a phone. 35．What is the proper structure of the passage? A．①—②③④⑤—⑥ B．①②③—④—⑤⑥ C．①②—③④—⑤⑥ D．①—②③④—⑤—⑥ 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者的女儿送给她了一个新地址簿作为礼物，作者因感情而珍惜旧的地址簿，因为上面承载了太多美好的回忆。 32．细节理解题。根据“When I moved back home to Niagara, my address book included the old information I needed in order to be able to get in touch with some of my old friends again.”可知，旧地址簿中的旧信息可以帮助作者再次与老朋友取得联系。故选B。 33．细节理解题。根据“But making changes on a phone is always done completely. When you don’t see a person any more, you delete all his information. It’s like he was never there.”可知，作者不喜欢在手机上保存朋友的信息是因为如果信息被删除了，就不可能再找回来了。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据“But my new address book whispers a story of new possibilities. It offers me space for those new friends that I haven’t met yet. I’ll get to it.”可推知，作者很快就要开始使用新的通讯录了。故选B。 35．篇章结构题。通读全文，第①段讲女儿送给作者一本新的地址簿，而作者还在用旧的地址簿；第②③④段主要讲旧的地址簿的意义；第⑤段讲为何不用手机记地址；⑥介绍旧的地址簿仍然好用，但新的地址本有新的可能，也将会使用。故选D。 D People think differently, but how does this happen? To find out the answer, Dr. Guilford, a famous psychologist, carried out a study on creativity (创造力) in the 1970s, known at The Nine-Dot Puzzle (九点谜题). In the research, Guilford asked participators (参与者) to connect all nine dots with at most four straight lines, without lifting pencils from the paper. As a result, only 20% managed to solve the puzzle. The following survey showed that all failed participators had looked for ways in the virtual (虚拟的) box, which is formed with virtual lines. But the winners could break out of the virtual box and continued their lines in the open space around the dots. The results of Guilford’s research led him to an idea: creativity needs you to go outside the box. The idea was widely spread soon. Overnight, it seemed that there were creativity experts everywhere, teaching people how to think outside the box. The idea was so popular that no one thought of checking the facts until two different research teams, did another study. To check if Guilford’s idea is correct, the participators were divided (分) into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as those in Guilford’s study. The second group was told they could draw outside the virtual box. Most people think that at least 60% of the second group could solve the puzzle easily. Guess what? Less than 25% solved the puzzle. It was nearly the same as the result of Guilford’s study. The result made everyone surprised, but it was the truth. Let’s look more closely at the surprising result. Solving this problem needs people to think outside the box. However, direct and clear instructions —“think outside the box” did not help participators solve the puzzle more easily. In some ways, the idea that thinking outside the box makes people more creative can be improper. 36．Which of the following can solve The Nine-Dot Puzzle? A． B． C． D． 37．Most people thought that in Guilford’s study, more participators would solve the puzzle if ________. A．they could find out the imagined box more quickly B．they were given some more time to complete the puzzle C．they were told to draw the lines outside the imagined box D．they could discuss the ways together with other participators 38．Which part of the article explains Burnham with Davis and Alba with Robert’s study and their findings? A．Paragraph 2. B．Paragraph 3. C．Paragraph 4. D．Paragraph 5. 39．Which is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 40．The passage probably tells us that ________. A．the popular ideas among most people are true B．the “facts” accepted by many people may not be facts C．being good at going outside the box means creativity D．practising solving puzzles does help to think differently 【答案】36．D 37．C 38．C 39．B 40．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了20世纪70年代，一位名叫Guilford的心理学家进行了一项著名的关于创造力的研究，名为“九点谜题”，这让Guilford得出了一个笼统的结论：创造力需要你跳出框框。 36．推理判断题。根据“In the research, Guilford asked participators (参与者) to connect all nine dots with at most four straight lines, without lifting pencils from the paper. As a result, only 20% managed to solve the puzzle.”可知，要求参与者在不从纸上拿起铅笔的情况下，用最多四条直线连接所有九个点，结合选项，图D符合。故选D。 37．细节理解题。根据“The second group was told they could draw outside the virtual box. Most people think that at least 60% of the second group could solve the puzzle easily.”可知，人们预期如果参与者被告知可以在想象的边界之外画线，会有更多人解决这个谜题，故选C。 38．推理判断题。根据第三段结尾“The idea was so popular that no one thought of checking the facts until two different research teams, did another study.这个想法太受欢迎了，以至于没有人想到去核实事实，直到两个不同的研究团队做了另一项研究”以及第四段开头“To check if Guilford’s idea is correct, the participators were divided (分) into two groups.为了验证吉尔福德的想法是否正确，参与者被分成两组”可知，第四段解释他们的研究和发现，故选C。 39．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出话题，第二段到第五段详细地讨论了“超越框架思维”的传播，研究以及意外发现，并对其进行反思，得出结论。故选B。 40．主旨大意题。文章讨论了广泛认为的“超越框架思维”提升创造力的观点，并指出这一观点在解决九点谜题时并没有带来更好的问题解决能力。最后得出结论，广为接受的观点并不总是正确的，故选B。 非选择题（共50分） 四、填空（共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分） A）请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词,使句子意思完整正确,并将答案填写在答题卡相应横线上。 41．What can be done to reduce the air (污染)? 【答案】pollution 【详解】句意：怎样才能减少空气污染？pollution“污染”，不可数名词。故填pollution。 42．Many students don’t like to (交流) with their parents. When they have free time, they only like playing with mobile phones. 【答案】communicate 【详解】句意：许多学生不喜欢与父母交流。当他们有空闲时间时，他们只喜欢玩手机。communicate“交流”，动词；like to do sth.“喜欢做某事”，此空应填动词原形。故填communicate。 43．Millie had a bad cold yesterday.

In the story, Amach told us how refugees (难民) 51 their lives for a better life in Australia. “When I saw some reports about refugees, I thought of the difficulty they must have gone through. Then I thought it might be a good 52 for a story.” said Amach. To write a good story, Amach first did some research. She read some books about their lives and went on the Internet for more information. Then she tried to “put 53 in someone else’s shoes”. Last, she let her ideas pour onto the page. She thinks if everyone 54 to the refugees, the world will be a better place. Amach loves writing because she can express any ideas, feelings or thoughts through words. She feels excited when she starts a new story. When she finishes one, she feels 55 than before. Amach thinks everyone should have a go at writing because everyone has a story to tell. 【答案】51．risked 52．subject 53．herself 54．gives a helping hand 55．prouder 【导语】本文讲述了儿童新闻短篇故事竞赛的冠军Amach写《新的开始》这篇文章的过程和写作感悟。 51．句意：在这个故事中，Amach告诉了我们难民是如何冒着生命危险在澳大利亚过上更好的生活的。根据“refugees (难民)...their lives for a better life in Australia”和备选词汇可知，难民们为了过上更好的生活，需要冒着生命危险。risk one’s life“冒着生命危险”，是固定搭配，结合“told”可知，从句应用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式。故填risked。 52．句意：然后我想这可能是一个很好的故事主题。根据“I thought it might be a good...for a story.”和备选词汇可知，此处指“故事的主题”，subject“主题”，a后接名词单数。故填subject。 53．句意：然后她试着“设身处地为别人着想”。此处应是put oneself in someone else’s shoes“设身处地为别人着想”，是固定搭配，主语是“she”，空处应填入she的反身代词herself“她自己”。故填herself。 54．句意：她认为如果每个人都向难民伸出援助之手，世界将会变得更美好。根据“if everyone...to the refugees, the world will be a better place”和备选词汇可知，此处指“向难民伸出援助之手”，give a helping hand“给予帮助，伸出援助之手”，if引导条件状语从句，时态遵循“主将从现”，此处的从句用一般现在时，主语是“everyone”，谓语动词用三单形式。故填gives a helping hand。 55．句意：当她完成一个故事时，她感到比以前更自豪。根据“When she finishes one, she feels...than before.”和备选词汇可知，当完成一个故事后，她感到很骄傲。 proud“骄傲的”，结合than，空处应用proud的比较级形式prouder，作表语。故填prouder。 五、阅读填空（共20小题;每小题1分, 满分20分） A）请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案填写在答题卡相应横线上。 Many Chinese who travel to the US find that though they have studied English for years, they have to “re-learn” it as soon as they arrive. Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here. To truly be part of the “melting pot”, fluency(流利) in English is not enough. You need an accent(口音) to stand out. When I first came to the US for graduate school, I was a nervous foreigner. I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was “different”. To talk like an American became one of my goals. During my first term as a teaching assistant(TA), my students complained they could not understand me. I learned later from a study that this complaint was common among US students with an international TA．It is called the “Oh, no!” syndrome (情绪、举动), “Oh, no! Not another international TA, and not that accent again!’’ So I imitated(模仿) the way native speakers talk over time, I made such good progress that American friends started to think highly of my English as having “almost no accent’’. I took this as a sign of my success. Ever since, people have often thought of me as someone from many places: the Midwest, the West Coast, China, Japan, South Korea. Most often, people think I am from California. Suddenly, conformity (一致) was no longer a praise(表扬): If I talk like an American, am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent, do I also lose my cultural identity(身份)? Am I denying(否认) my past by being lost in a new culture? Now I realize that a person’s accent is a ever-lasting record of their past cultural experience and it is a mark of one’s experience. As a fourth-year student in the US, I am no longer a nervous foreigner. My nervousness has been replaced by a wish to hold on to my cultural origins. Now I add some Chinese “accent” on purpose when I speak. I do not wish to speak “perfect” English because I am proud of who I am. My Feeling of Speaking English in America Time Supporting details At the 56 I have to relearn English 57 arriving there, for my pronunciations of words are not the same as native 58 . My students complained that I couldn’t make myself 59 . During my 60 I made great 61 in spoken English by imitating the 62 local speakers talk. People often 63 me as someone from the Midwest, the West Coast, China, California and so on. At present I think it necessary to keep my 64 origins. I often speak English, 65 some Chinese “accent” because I am proud of being a Chinese. 【答案】 56．beginning 57．after 58．people’s 59．understood 60．stay 61．progress 62．way 63．considered 64．cultural 65．adding 【导语】本文通过作者在美国留学的经历阐述了口音的重要性。作者来美国留学时发现，他在国内英语课上所学的英语到了美国很多人听不懂。他发现这是中国口音的缘故。于是他模仿美国人的口音，后来他又认为，丢失了口音就是丢失了一个人的文化身份。于是，他在与美国人交流时仍然保留着中国口音。他为自己是一个中国人而自豪。 56．右栏介绍了作者刚开始到美国的经历，故填beginning。 57．根据“Many Chinese who travel to the US find that though they have studied English for years, they have to “re-learn” it as soon as they arrive.”可知，许多到美国旅游的中国人发现，尽管他们已经学了很多年英语，但他们一到美国就必须“重新学习”英语。所以是到达那里后，必须重新学习英语，故填after。 58．根据“Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here.”可知，我们在英语课上学到的单词在这里的发音不一样。所以我的发音和当地人的不一样，故填people’s。 59．根据“During my first term as a teaching assistant(TA), my students complained they could not understand me.”可知，在我担任助教的第一个学期，我的学生抱怨说他们听不懂我的话。make oneself done“使某人被……”，故填understood。 60．文章开始是说作者刚到美国的情况，接下来就是说在美国“停留”期间的事情。故填stay。 61．根据“So I imitated(模仿) the way native speakers talk over time, I made such good progress”可知，所以我模仿母语人士说话的方式，随着时间的推移，我取得了很好的进步。故填progress。 62．根据“So I imitated(模仿) the way native speakers talk over time, I made such good progress”可知，我模仿母语人士说话的方式，故填way。 63．根据“Ever since, people have often thought of me as someone from many places: the Midwest, the West Coast, China, Japan, South Korea. Most often, people think I am from California.”可知，从那以后，人们经常认为我来自很多地方，consider sb as...“认为某人是”，时态是一般过去时，动词用过去式，故填considered。 64．根据“My nervousness has been replaced by a wish to hold on to my cultural origins.”可知，我的紧张情绪被保留我的文化渊源的愿望所取代。故填cultural。 65．根据“Now I add some Chinese “accent” on purpose when I speak.”可知，现在我说话的时候故意增加了一些中国“口音”，用现在分词作状语，故填adding。 B）请根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词,并将答案填写在答题卡相应位置上。 Some people still live in their hometown. H 66 , others may only see it once or twice a year. Now millions of Chinese leave the countryside to s 67 for work in the cities. Among these is Zhong Wei, a 46-year-old husband and father. He has lived in Beijing for the p 68 13 years. With a hard job in a factory, he doesn’t find much time to visit his hometown. “I used to r 69 home at least once a year, but I haven’t been back for three years now,” he says. Many people like Zhong Wei are interested in how their hometown have c 70 . Besides large hospitals and new roads, the government has also built new schools and sent t 71 from the cities to help. Zhong Wei thinks such changes are good, and he also knows that his hometown cannot s 72 the same. However, some things will n 73 change. “In my hometown, there was a big old tree outside the school. It is still there and has b 74 a symbol (象征) of the place. Most of the children in my time liked to play together under that big tree. It was s 75 a happy childhood. Our hometown has left many soft and sweet memories in our hearts.” 【答案】 66．(H)owever 67．(s)earch 68．(p)ast 69．(r)eturn 70．(c)hanged 71．(t)eachers 72．(s)tay 73．(n)ever 74．(b)ecome 75．(s)uch 【导语】本文主要讲述有些人背井离乡，在外工作，没有时间回家乡，在这期间家乡发生了很大的变化。 66．句意：然而，其他人可能一年只能回家乡一两次。分析“Some people still live in their hometown...others may only see it once or twice a year.”可知，前后句是转折关系，空格处意为“然而”，however符合语境，句首首字母大写，故填(H)owever。 67．句意：现在数百万中国人离开农村到城市寻找工作。根据“leave the countryside to...for work in the cities”可知，此处表示离开乡村去城市找工作，search for意为“搜寻，寻找”，空前的to是动词不定式符号，其后接动词原形，故填(s)earch。 68．句意：过去13年他一直住在北京。根据“the...13 years”和首字母提示可知，此处表示过去的13年，past“过去的”符合语境，故填(p)ast。 69．句意：我过去每年至少回家一次，但现在我已经三年没回家了。根据“I used to...home at least once a year”和首字母提示可知，此处表示钟伟过去每年至少回家一次，动词return“返回”符合语境，结合短语used to do sth.“过去常常做某事”可知，空格处应填动词return的原形，故填(r)eturn。 70．句意：许多像钟伟一样的人对他们的家乡发生了怎样的变化很感兴趣。结合首字母提示和下文“Zhong Wei thinks such changes are good”可知，此处表示对他们的家乡发生了怎样的变化很感兴趣，动词change“变化”符合语境，空前的have是现在完成时的助动词，其后接动词过去分词，故填(c)hanged。 71．句意：除了大型医院和新道路之外，政府还建造了新学校，并从城市派遣教师前往帮助。根据首字母提示和“built new schools”可知，空格处意为“老师”，此处表示泛指，所以空格处应填名词teacher的复数形式，故填(t)eachers。 72．句意：钟伟认为这样的变化是好的，他也知道他的家乡不可能保持原样。根据“Zhong Wei thinks such changes are good”可知，此处表示钟伟知道他的家乡不可能保持原样，结合首字母提示，动词stay“保持”符合语境，情态动词can后接动词原形，故填(s)tay。 73．句意：然而，有些事情永远不会改变。根据下文“In my hometown, there was a big old tree outside the school. It is still there...”可知，钟伟家乡的那棵大树仍在原地，所以此处表示有些事情永远不会变，副词never“从不”符合语境，故填(n)ever。 74．句意：它仍然在那里，并已成为这个地方的象征。结合首字母提示和“has...a symbol (象征) of the place”可知，此处表示已成为这个地方的象征，动词become“变成”符合语境，空前的has是现在完成时的助动词，其后接动词过去分词，become的过去分词还是become，故填(b)ecome。 75．句意：那是一个如此快乐的童年。结合首字母提示和“a happy childhood”可知，空格处应填such修饰名词词组，表示一个如此快乐的童年。故填(s)uch。 六、书面表达（满分15分） 76．随着社会的发展，我们的生活变得越来越好。学校英语角本周的主题是“Changes”。请根据以下思维导图，用英语写篇短文，谈谈自己的看法。 要求： 1.内容完整，语言通顺，意思连贯； 2.词数80左右，文章的开头已经给出，不计入总词数； 3.文中不得出现真实姓名和校名。 Changes In the past few years, great changes have taken place around us. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Changes   In the past few years, great changes have taken place around us. Personally, I’ve seen some important changes too. Before, I used to be shy and not talk much, but now I’m more outgoing and confident. I’ve also started to like studying more and work harder towards my goals. About my hometown, the changes are very noticeable. Before, we mainly used buses, but now we have high-speed railways that quickly and comfortably connect us to nearby cities.  Across the country, the improvements are deep. Before, we had problems with dirty water and empty hills, but now we have beautiful green scenery and clean water. Instead of just “Made in China”, our country now focuses on creating new things and being creative, which will make our future better.

B By lunchtime I was hungry again, and when I found my little lunchbag missing, I blew my top. I’m going to find out the person who took my lunch. Then he’ll be sorry. I’ll really fix him. Or maybe it’s a her. Either way, I’ll get even. Then during the spelling class, I kept thinking about the lunchbag thief (贼) so that I asked to be excused to go to the bathroom. As I went out, I picked up the lunchbag closest to the door. I was about to kick it away when I felt a hand on my shoulder, and there was Mr. Fridley. “What do you think you’re doing?” he asked, and this time he wasn’t being funny at all. “Go ahead and tell the head teacher,” I said. “Sec if I care.” “Maybe you don’t,” he said, “but I do.” That surprised me. Then Mr. Fridley said, “I don’t want to see a boy like you get into trouble, and that’s where you’re headed.” “I don’t have any friends in this terrible school.” I don’t know why I said that. I guess I felt I had to say something. “Who wants to be friends with someone who scowls (绷着脸) all the time?”asked Mr. Fridley. “Turning into a mean-eyed (刻薄的) lunch-kicker won’t help anything,” said Mr. Fridley. “You should think in another way.” “How?” I asked. “That’s for you to work out,” he said and gave me a little push toward my classroom. Nobody noticed me put the lunchbag back on the floor. (—Adapted from Dear Mr. Henshaw) 29．How did the writer feel when he found his lunchbag missing? A．Sad. B．Surprised. C．Afraid.

D．He found out who took his lunchbag at last. 31．What did Mr. Fridley mean by saying the underlined sentence? A．The writer should not care about his lunchbag. B．The writer should not continue finding out the thief. C．The writer should not act rudely without thinking carefully. D．The writer should not complain about others because of his lunch. C ①My daughter gave me a new address book for my birthday. She knows the one I often use is very old now. The gift is lovely: the cover is colourful, and the pages are white. But I don’t feel like I am free to use this new address book because I’m still tied to my old one. ②My old address book tells my own story—the way I moved around. Names were added in different colours from different periods of my life. When I moved back home to Niagara, my address book included the old information I needed in order to be able to get in touch with some of my old friends again. ③There are certainly stories of friendships in this book—the comings and goings of my friends. Their addresses have been corrected again and again, filling up one line after another. I have started using pencil for some of them because they are taking up too much space! Some friends went on to marry each other. For such things, I used arrows (箭头) to show how these two families had become one. Children’s names were added one by one. Then some got their own lines as they moved out. ④This book also includes the stories of my family—two generations (一代人) of relatives. I can remember all their phone numbers, and I can picture their houses in detail. Some have died, but their addresses are still there in my book. ⑤“Don’t you have all that on your phone?” My daughter, who never uses address books, once asked me when she saw me checking my address book. I know that having it on a phone is very useful and can save a lot of trouble. But making changes on a phone is always done completely. When you don’t see a person any more, you delete (删除) all his information. It’s like he was never there. ⑥My old address book now sits on top of the new one. The magnet on its cover is as strong as ever, keeping all the people from A to Z in order. But my new address book whispers a story of new possibilities. It offers me space for those new friends that I haven’t met yet. I’ll get to it. It’s just a matter of time. 32．The old information in the old address book can help the writer _________. A．move back home to Niagara B．connect with old friends again C．move around the world D．make more new friends 33．Why does the writer dislike keeping friends’ information on a phone? A．Because she finds it not easy to use a phone. B．Because she wants to be different from the younger. C．Because it’s impossible to get back to the information if it is deleted. D．Because she has to depend on her daughter to manage the information. 34．What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A．The writer doesn’t like the new address book.

To find out the answer, Dr. Guilford, a famous psychologist, carried out a study on creativity (创造力) in the 1970s, known at The Nine-Dot Puzzle (九点谜题). In the research, Guilford asked participators (参与者) to connect all nine dots with at most four straight lines, without lifting pencils from the paper. As a result, only 20% managed to solve the puzzle. The following survey showed that all failed participators had looked for ways in the virtual (虚拟的) box, which is formed with virtual lines. But the winners could break out of the virtual box and continued their lines in the open space around the dots. The results of Guilford’s research led him to an idea: creativity needs you to go outside the box. The idea was widely spread soon. Overnight, it seemed that there were creativity experts everywhere, teaching people how to think outside the box. The idea was so popular that no one thought of checking the facts until two different research teams, did another study. To check if Guilford’s idea is correct, the participators were divided (分) into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as those in Guilford’s study. The second group was told they could draw outside the virtual box. Most people think that at least 60% of the second group could solve the puzzle easily. Guess what? Less than 25% solved the puzzle. It was nearly the same as the result of Guilford’s study. The result made everyone surprised, but it was the truth. Let’s look more closely at the surprising result. Solving this problem needs people to think outside the box. However, direct and clear instructions —“think outside the box” did not help participators solve the puzzle more easily. In some ways, the idea that thinking outside the box makes people more creative can be improper. 36．Which of the following can solve The Nine-Dot Puzzle? A． B． C． D． 37．Most people thought that in Guilford’s study, more participators would solve the puzzle if ________. A．they could find out the imagined box more quickly B．they were given some more time to complete the puzzle C．they were told to draw the lines outside the imagined box D．they could discuss the ways together with other participators 38．Which part of the article explains Burnham with Davis and Alba with Robert’s study and their findings?

Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here. To truly be part of the “melting pot”, fluency(流利) in English is not enough. You need an accent(口音) to stand out. When I first came to the US for graduate school, I was a nervous foreigner. I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was “different”. To talk like an American became one of my goals. During my first term as a teaching assistant(TA), my students complained they could not understand me. I learned later from a study that this complaint was common among US students with an international TA．It is called the “Oh, no!” syndrome (情绪、举动), “Oh, no! Not another international TA, and not that accent again!’’ So I imitated(模仿) the way native speakers talk over time, I made such good progress that American friends started to think highly of my English as having “almost no accent’’. I took this as a sign of my success. Ever since, people have often thought of me as someone from many places: the Midwest, the West Coast, China, Japan, South Korea. Most often, people think I am from California. Suddenly, conformity (一致) was no longer a praise(表扬): If I talk like an American, am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent, do I also lose my cultural identity(身份)? Am I denying(否认) my past by being lost in a new culture? Now I realize that a person’s accent is a ever-lasting record of their past cultural experience and it is a mark of one’s experience. As a fourth-year student in the US, I am no longer a nervous foreigner. My nervousness has been replaced by a wish to hold on to my cultural origins. Now I add some Chinese “accent” on purpose when I speak. I do not wish to speak “perfect” English because I am proud of who I am. My Feeling of Speaking English in America Time Supporting details At the 56 I have to relearn English 57 arriving there, for my pronunciations of words are not the same as native 58 . My students complained that I couldn’t make myself 59 . During my 60 I made great 61 in spoken English by imitating the 62 local speakers talk. People often 63 me as someone from the Midwest, the West Coast, China, California and so on. At present I think it necessary to keep my 64 origins. I often speak English, 65 some Chinese “accent” because I am proud of being a Chinese. B）请根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词,并将答案填写在答题卡相应位置上。 Some people still live in their hometown.
