B Twenty-one years ago, Eric Moussambani became the first swimmer from Equatorial Guinea, one of the smallest countries on the African. continent, to compete in the Olympics. He recorded the slowest men's 100m freestyle ever in the Olympics, swimming so slowly that he almost drowned, but he left a deep impression on the audience. As Moussambani prepared for Sydney, he conducted most of his training in a hotel pool, which was only 13 meters long and fell far short of Olympic level. He spent time in rivers and lakes. Moreover, his coaching came from fishermen, who tried to adjust Moussambani's arm and leg movements to prevent sinking Upon his arrival in Sydney, Moussambani was struck by the sights of the foreign city and the size of the Olympic Village. But Moussambani was overwhelmed by the Olympic pool, which was surrounded by seating for 17,500 audience. "When I saw the swimming pool for the first time, I was so scared. The pool was so big for me," he said. Of three swimmers, the other two swimmers were disqualified for starting the race too early, leaving a frightened Moussambani as the only man in his race. Although he maintained a consistent speed during the opening section, he couldn't be in a harmonious breathing pattern. In the final half of the race, he struggled to stay afloat so much that those on the sidelines（两侧场外区域）considered jumping in and helping him out of the water. Finally, Moussambani touched the wall, stopping the clock in 1：52：72. Of course, there was no medal awarded to Moussambani. But he was treated as a celebrity for his inspiring swim. "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning, but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering, but fighting well." The description fits Moussambani perfectly. Anyone can be inspired by what Moussambani achieved because we've all been where he was. On his own, out of his depth, and just trying to stay afloat. 4. What can we know about Moussambani? A. He was the first swimmer from Africa. B. He practiced in standard swimming pools. C. He set the slowest. time in men's 100m freestyle D. He accepted training from professional coaches. 5. What does the underlined word "overwhelmed" in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Amazed. B. Excited C. Embarrassed D. Disappointed. 6. Why did people consider helping him out of the water? A. He broke the rules. B. He was disqualified C. He seemed nearly drowned D. He kept a consistent speed. 7. Which of the following best describes Moussambani? A. Caring and humorous. B. Aggressive and demanding. C. Generous and hardworking. D. Persevering and determined. C A Swiss company that developed technology to capture (捕获) carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air says it has launched the world’s largest plant to do so in Iceland. The company said the plant began operations on Wednesday. The company partnered with Icelandic carbon storage provider Carbfix on the project. It says the new plant called Orca whose name is based on the Icelandic word for energy, Oirka, is designed to capture up to 3,600 metric tons of CO2 per year. That is the same amount of CO2 produced by about 790 automobiles during a year. The International Energy Agency, IEA, estimates that this year, the amount of CO2 emissions (排放) worldwide will rise 1.5 billion metric tons to a total of 33 billion metric tons. Direct air capture is one of the few technologies that can remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. Many scientists see the process as critical to limiting harmful pollutant emissions. Such emissions are caused mainly by human activities. They can trap heat in the atmosphere and create higher temperatures. Many scientists blame this warming for increased heatwaves, wildfires, floods and rising sea levels across the world. Orca uses eight large containers that look like those used in the shipping industry. A series of high-tech filters (过滤器) and blowers attached to the containers capture CO2. The captured carbon is then mixed with water and deposited deep underground, where it slowly turns into rock. Both technologies are powered by renewable energy from a nearby geothermal (地热) plant. Direct air capture is still a new and costly technology. But developers hope to bring down the price by increasing operations as more companies and individuals seek the technology. Currently, there are 15 direct air capture plants operating worldwide. The American oil company Occidental is currently developing the largest direct air capture center. It aims to pull 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air around some of its Texas oilfields. 8 What is Orca? A. A kind of energy. B. A Swiss company. C. A high-tech factory. D. A developed technology. 9. What do scientists think of direct air capture? A. It can stop global temperature rising. B. It is crucial to deal with air pollution. C. It is of great use for disaster prediction. D. It can limit the amounts of gases in the air. 10. What does the underlined word “deposited” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Stored. B. Discovered. C. Recycled. D. Exposed. 11. What can we infer about direct air capture from the last paragraph? A. It will increase oil production. B. It has shown little practical value. C. It costs too much to improve it. D. It would have a bright future. D In one of my favorite studies on the meaning of life, researchers asked a group of students to write about their “true self”. Another group of students were asked to write about their “everyday self" and a third group of students were asked to write about the campus bookstore. After the writing task, the students were then asked to rate their meaning of life. The researchers were interested in how much detail the participants provided in their various essays. Their assumption (设想)is that the more detailed description one provides about one's true self, the more likely one authentically (真实地)connects with that sense of self. Not surprisingly, for those writing about their everyday selves or about the campus bookstore, the amount of detail didn't have any connection with their sense of meaning of life. However, when people wrote about their true selves, the more detailed the essay was, the more the person was exposed to the meaning of life. To live a meaningful life, then, make sure you are in touch with yourself. If you don't follow your own values and dreams, you are most probably following values set by others. And there is nothing more disappointing in life than living someone else's dream. As some wise-cracker has put it, it is better to be yourself, as everyone else is already taken. Meaningfulness is about connection. While this means that a major part of the meaningfulness in our lives comes from connecting with others through intimate, caring relationships and through being able to contribute to society and those one cares about, you cannot connect with others unless you are first in touch with yourself. Otherwise it is not you who are connecting to others but just an empty shell. Only by knowing what you are, can you start to authentically connect with others. So，set out to write about your true self and who you believe you really are as a person, what are your most important values, and what you yourself would like to pursue and have in life. Then figure out how you could make that “true self” more the self that is realized in your everyday life and work. 12. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The process of a study. B. The meaning of life. C. Three groups of students. D. A writing task of evaluating life. 13. What's the finding of the researchers? A. “Everyday self” connects with the campus bookstore. B. More various essays interpret life meaning better. C. The participants with detailed essays have a more meaningful life. D. More “true self” description makes one experience life meaning better. 14. What can make you truly connect with others? A. Following values and dreams set by others. B. Being the author of your own life. C. Changing “everyday self” into “true self”. D. Being able to contribute to society. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A Connect with Life - Dream Is Valued B. Why Not Pursue Goals You Find Useful? C. Be Yourself — Everyone Else Is Taken D. Why Not Build Caring Relationships with Yourself? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When studying for exams, especially finals, you may often be stressed out and need help with a difficult subject.

This license can be obtained from the City Hall.(该市要求任何在该市经商的人首先获得营业执照。这执照可向市政厅申请)”可知，在该市经商的人需要获得营业执照。由此推知，B项A retired man planning to open a bike shop.(一个打算开自行车店的退休男子)是需要执照的人。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“Even if you are not a cycle rider, everyone is welcome to join us for the free entertainment and food!(即使你不是自行车骑手，也欢迎加入我们的免费娱乐和美食！)”可知，Elkton Bike Night不止有自行车活动，还可以享受美食和娱乐。即Elkton Bike Night的乐趣不限于骑自行车。故选C。 B Twenty-one years ago, Eric Moussambani became the first swimmer from Equatorial Guinea, one of the smallest countries on the African. continent, to compete in the Olympics.

The pool was so big for me," he said. Of three swimmers, the other two swimmers were disqualified for starting the race too early, leaving a frightened Moussambani as the only man in his race. Although he maintained a consistent speed during the opening section, he couldn't be in a harmonious breathing pattern. In the final half of the race, he struggled to stay afloat so much that those on the sidelines（两侧场外区域）considered jumping in and helping him out of the water. Finally, Moussambani touched the wall, stopping the clock in 1：52：72. Of course, there was no medal awarded to Moussambani. But he was treated as a celebrity for his inspiring swim. "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning, but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering, but fighting well." The description fits Moussambani perfectly. Anyone can be inspired by what Moussambani achieved because we've all been where he was. On his own, out of his depth, and just trying to stay afloat. 4. What can we know about Moussambani? A. He was the first swimmer from Africa. B. He practiced in standard swimming pools. C. He set the slowest. time in men's 100m freestyle D. He accepted training from professional coaches. 5.

On his own, out of his depth, and just trying to stay afloat.（任何人都可以被穆萨巴尼的成就所鼓舞，因为我们都曾经历过他的经历。靠自己，脱离自己的深度，努力保持漂浮状态）”可知文章讲述埃里克·穆桑巴尼虽然没有经过专业的训练参加奥运会，但通过自己的毅力和决心完成比赛的故事，故选D项。 C A Swiss company that developed technology to capture (捕获) carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air says it has launched the world’s largest plant to do so in Iceland. The company said the plant began operations on Wednesday. The company partnered with Icelandic carbon storage provider Carbfix on the project. It says the new plant called Orca whose name is based on the Icelandic word for energy, Oirka, is designed to capture up to 3,600 metric tons of CO2 per year. That is the same amount of CO2 produced by about 790 automobiles during a year. The International Energy Agency, IEA, estimates that this year, the amount of CO2 emissions (排放) worldwide will rise 1.5 billion metric tons to a total of 33 billion metric tons. Direct air capture is one of the few technologies that can remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. Many scientists see the process as critical to limiting harmful pollutant emissions. Such emissions are caused mainly by human activities. They can trap heat in the atmosphere and create higher temperatures. Many scientists blame this warming for increased heatwaves, wildfires, floods and rising sea levels across the world. Orca uses eight large containers that look like those used in the shipping industry. A series of high-tech filters (过滤器) and blowers attached to the containers capture CO2. The captured carbon is then mixed with water and deposited deep underground, where it slowly turns into rock. Both technologies are powered by renewable energy from a nearby geothermal (地热) plant. Direct air capture is still a new and costly technology. But developers hope to bring down the price by increasing operations as more companies and individuals seek the technology. Currently, there are 15 direct air capture plants operating worldwide. The American oil company Occidental is currently developing the largest direct air capture center. It aims to pull 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air around some of its Texas oilfields. 8. What is Orca? A. A kind of energy. B. A Swiss company. C. A high-tech factory. D. A developed technology. 9. What do scientists think of direct air capture? A. It can stop global temperature rising. B. It is crucial to deal with air pollution. C. It is of great use for disaster prediction. D. It can limit the amounts of gases in the air. 10. What does the underlined word “deposited” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Stored. B. Discovered. C. Recycled. D. Exposed. 11. What can we infer about direct air capture from the last paragraph? A. It will increase oil production. B. It has shown little practical value. C. It costs too much to improve it. D. It would have a bright future. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项最新技术发明，它可以直接捕获空气中的二氧化碳然后将它处理掉。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段首句“A Swiss company that developed technology to capture (捕获) carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air says it has launched the world’s largest plant to do so in Iceland.(一家瑞士公司开发了直接从空气中捕获二氧化碳的技术，该公司表示已经在冰岛建立了世界上最大的发电厂。)”和第二段中“It says the new plant called Orca whose name is based on the Icelandic word for energy, Oirka, is designed to capture up to 3,600 metric tons of CO2 per year.(这家名为Orca的新工厂的名字来源于冰岛语中能源的意思Oirka，它的设计目标是每年捕获3600吨二氧化碳。)”可知，Orca是一家新的高新技术工厂。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Many scientists see the process as critical to limiting harmful pollutant emissions.(许多科学家认为，这一过程对于限制有害污染物的排放至关重要。)”可知，科学家们认为该技术对于治理空气污染至关重要。故选B。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段画线词前半句“The captured carbon is then mixed with water(捕获的碳之后与水混合)”和后半句“where it slowly turns into rock.(在那里慢慢变成岩石。)”可知，捕获的碳之后与水混合，沉积在地下深处，在那里慢慢变成岩石。所以deposited是“沉积，存放”的意思。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Currently, there are 15 direct air capture plants operating worldwide. The American oil company Occidental is currently developing the largest direct air capture center.(目前，全球有15家直接空气捕获厂在运营。美国石油公司西方石油公司目前正在开发最大的直接空气捕获中心。)”可推断，这种技术将会有一个美好的前景。故选D。 D In one of my favorite studies on the meaning of life, researchers asked a group of students to write about their “true self”. Another group of students were asked to write about their “everyday self" and a third group of students were asked to write about the campus bookstore. After the writing task, the students were then asked to rate their meaning of life. The researchers were interested in how much detail the participants provided in their various essays. Their assumption (设想)is that the more detailed description one provides about one's true self, the more likely one authentically (真实地)connects with that sense of self. Not surprisingly, for those writing about their everyday selves or about the campus bookstore, the amount of detail didn't have any connection with their sense of meaning of life. However, when people wrote about their true selves, the more detailed the essay was, the more the person was exposed to the meaning of life. To live a meaningful life, then, make sure you are in touch with yourself. If you don't follow your own values and dreams, you are most probably following values set by others. And there is nothing more disappointing in life than living someone else's dream. As some wise-cracker has put it, it is better to be yourself, as everyone else is already taken. Meaningfulness is about connection. While this means that a major part of the meaningfulness in our lives comes from connecting with others through intimate, caring relationships and through being able to contribute to society and those one cares about, you cannot connect with others unless you are first in touch with yourself. Otherwise it is not you who are connecting to others but just an empty shell. Only by knowing what you are, can you start to authentically connect with others. So，set out to write about your true self and who you believe you really are as a person, what are your most important values, and what you yourself would like to pursue and have in life. Then figure out how you could make that “true self” more the self that is realized in your everyday life and work. 12. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The process of a study. B. The meaning of life. C. Three groups of students. D. A writing task of evaluating life. 13. What's the finding of the researchers? A. “Everyday self” connects with the campus bookstore. B. More various essays interpret life meaning better. C. The participants with detailed essays have a more meaningful life. D. More “true self” description makes one experience life meaning better. 14. What can make you truly connect with others? A. Following values and dreams set by others. B. Being the author of your own life. C. Changing “everyday self” into “true self”. D. Being able to contribute to society. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Connect with Life - Dream Is Valued B. Why Not Pursue Goals You Find Useful? C. Be Yourself — Everyone Else Is Taken D. Why Not Build Caring Relationships with Yourself? 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了为了过有意义的人生，你需要做真实的自己。并倡导人们通过真实独立的生活找到人生的意义。 【12题详解】 段落大意题。根据本段“…researchers asked a group of students to write about their “true self”(研究人员要求一组学生写下他们真实的自我)”、“Another group of students were asked to write…and a third group of students were asked to…(另一组学生被要求写日常的自我，第三组学生被要求写校园的图书馆)”和“After the writing task, the students were then asked to rate their meaning of life.(在完成写作任务后，学生们被要求评价他们生活的意义)”可知，第一段是在叙述一个研究的过程，即先分三组执行写作任务，然后再去评价自己人生的意义。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“when people wrote about their true selves, the more detailed the essay was, the more the person was exposed to the meaning of life(当人们写下真实的自我时，文章写得越详细，这个人就越能感受到生活的意义)”可知，更真实的自我描述会让人感觉生活更有意义。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“you cannot connect with others unless you are first in touch with yourself(除非你先接触自己，否则你无法与他人建立联系)”以及“Only by knowing what you are, can you start to authentically connect with others. (只有知道自己是什么，你才能真正开始与他人建立联系)”可知，要想和别人产生联系，首先要与自己产生联系，做自己生活的主人。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。本文的前两段由一项研究来引出作者的论点。第三段第一句“To live a meaningful life, then, make sure you are in touch with yourself.( 要过有意义的生活，那么，确保你与自己保持联系。)”是本文作者的观点，作者在第四段对自己的观点展开叙述，在第五段倡议大家在工作与生活中做真实的自我。A项强调生活与梦想，偏离文章主题；B项强调去追寻自己认为有用的目标，与做真实独立的自我不是一个概念，属于曲解文意；D项强调关爱自己，属于曲解文意；C项强调做真实独立的自己，符合文意，故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When studying for exams, especially finals, you may often be stressed out and need help with a difficult subject.

If we define ourselves by our jobs, our ____7____ depends on what we achieve”可知，当用工作来定义一个人的时候，个人价值取决于个人成就。所以，诸如“成为一个父亲”、“成为一个母亲”、或“成为一个正直的人”这样和工作毫无关系的回答显然是不符合期望，不被接受的。故选D。 【30题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：第二个问题是，这暗示着每个人都有一个使命。A. thought想法，思想；B. division除法，分配；C. assumption假设，认为；D. problem问题。结合上文中的“My first complaint about the question”和下文中的“If you manage to ____13____ the above barriers, there is a third hurdle”可知，第二、三、四段探讨的都是问孩子长大后要成为什么人产生的害处。因此，该空应该选择一个贬义词，表示询问孩子这个问题产生的问题或害处。故选D。 【31题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：研究表明，寻找一个使命让学生感到迷失和困惑。A. picking up捡起；B. searching for寻找，搜寻；C. praying for祈求，恳求；D. taking over接管。根据下文中的“not everyone has that talent for grand jobs(不是每个人都有做伟大工作的天赋)”可知，对伟大使命的寻求会让学生感到迷惑。故选B。 32题详解】 考查动形容词词义辨析。句意：研究表明，寻找一个使命让学生感到迷失和困惑。A. bored厌烦的；B. impatient不耐烦的；C. intolerant无法忍受的；D. confused困惑的。该空和lost并列，意思应该和lost接近。结合上题解析，可知，对伟大使命的寻求让学生迷失和困惑。故选D。 33题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：如果你成功克服了上述障碍，还有第三个障碍：职业生涯很少能达到你童年时的理想。A. strengthen增强；B. control控制；C. build建造；D. overcome克服。根据空前的“manage to（成功做到某事）”和后面的“there is a third hurdle”可知，该处应该指即使你可以克服前面提到的两个障碍，还有一个障碍你无法克服。故选D。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：如果你成功克服了上述障碍，还有第三个障碍：职业生涯很少能达到你童年时的理想。A. efforts努力；B. struggles奋斗，难事；C. ambitions野心，雄心；D. gains收益。根据前文提到的问题：What do you want to be when you grow up?可知，孩子们小时候经常被问到自己长大后的理想。但是长大之后做的职业很难实现童年地理想，即童年的雄心壮志。故选C。 【35题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在一项研究中，寻找一份理想的工作让大四学生对这个结果感到更加焦虑和不太满意。 A. ideal理想的；B. permanent永久的；C. ordinary普通的； D. specific特定的，明确的。根据后面的“left college seniors feeling more anxious and less satisfied”可知，大四学生都想找一份理想的工作。但是找理想的工作不容易，所以他们焦虑，不满意。故选A。 【36题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在一项研究中，寻找一份理想工作让大四学生对这个结果感到更加焦虑和不太满意。A. benefit益处，好处；B. outcome结果；C. solution解决办法； D. truth真相，事实。根据前文的“Careers rarely live up to your childhood ____14___”可知，大四学生找不到理想工作，无法实现童年的梦想，学生们对这样的结果感到焦虑，不满意。故选B。 【37题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：很明显，期望会影响我们的幸福感。A. boost推动，使增长；B. contain包含，抑制；C. guarantee保证，确保；D. affect影响。根据上文中的“happiness is reality minus expectations(幸福是现实减去期望)”可知，现实总是和期望有差距的。因此，期望值过高，实现不了，就会影响幸福感。故选D。 【38题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：如果你在寻找极端的幸福，你注定会失望。A. disappointed失望的；B. addicted入迷的，上瘾的；C. delighted高兴的；D. embarrassed尴尬的，难堪的。结合上一题的解析以及“ If you are looking for extreme happiness”可知，期望会影响幸福感。极度的幸福是不可能实现的。由此推知，如果你寻找极度的幸福，那么，你肯定实现不了，你肯定会失望。故选A。 【39题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：问孩子他们想成为什么，会让他们获得一种他们可能永远都不想获得的职业身份。A. refuse拒绝；B. claim获得，声称，索要；C. keep保持；D. ignore忽略，忽视。上文介绍了问“孩子他们想成为什么”这个问题所产生的三方面的危害。由此推知，问孩子这个问题会导致孩子获得一种他们可能永远都不想获得的职业身份。该空和后面的earn一致。故选B。 【40题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：相反，请他们想想他们可能想做的其他事情。A. Meanwhile与此同时；B. Otherwise否则；C. Instead代替，反而；D. However但是。根据前一句“Asking kids what they want to be leads them to ____19____ a career identity they might never want to earn”可知，问孩子他们想成为什么对孩子没有好处。因此作者建议不要这样做。相反地，要邀请孩子想想他们可能想做的其他事情。故选C。 第二节(共10小题：每小題1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Giant Amazonian lily pads(睡莲叶) are the world’s largest and strongest floating plants and the giant Amazonian water lily has long fascinated scientists, architects and artists for____41____(it) beauty and sheer size.

Natural, we all desire to win popularity in one way or another. To enjoy popularity, we are supposed to regard the class as our big family and try our best to take active part in all our class activities. We should be responsible for the work and keep team spirit on mind. To be a popular student, we must show our respect, concern and sympathy for other. As a result, we never hesitated to lend a hand to those in need. We ought to be strict with ourselves in everything we do it at school and make an effort to achieve all-round developments, be good not only at our lessons but also at sports, music, painting, social services and so on. In time of success we remain modest, when in time of difficulty we keep strong-minded. All in all, being a popular student among the classmates and teachers come to those who can overcome their shortcomings but keep improving their personal qualities. 【答案】1.Natural→Naturally 2.take后加an 3.on→in                                       4.other→others 5. hesitated →hesitate                          6.删掉do后面的it 7.be→being                                    8.when→while 9.come→comes或者在come前加will 10.but→and 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何成为一名受欢迎的学生。 【详解】1.考查副词。句意：自然，我们都渴望以这样或那样的方式赢得声望。副词naturally作状语修饰整个句子。故将Natural改成Naturally。 2.考查冠词。句意：我们应该把班级当作我们大家庭，尽我们最大的努力积极参加我们班级的所有活动。take an active part in积极参加。active首字母的发音为元音音素开头。故在take后加an。 3.考查介词。句意：我们应该对工作负责，并牢记团队精神。keep sth in mind 记住某事，为固定短语。故将on改成in。 4.考查代词。句意：要成为一个受欢迎的学生，我们必须表现出对他人的尊重、关心和同情。other作形容词，通常用在单数或复数名词的前面。表示“其他人”用代词others，作介词for的宾语。故将other改成others。 5.考查时态。句意：因此，我们要毫不犹豫地向那些需要帮助的人伸出援手。本句陈述客观事实，所以用一般现在时，与整篇时态一致。故将hesitated改成hesitate。 6.考查定语从句。句意：我们应该严格要求自己在学校做的每一件事，努力实现全面发展，不仅在我们的课程，而且在体育，音乐，绘画，社会服务等。句中先行词为everything，在定语从句中作动词do的宾语，省略关系代词that，代词it多余。故删掉do后面的it。 7.考查非谓语动词。句意：我们应该严格要求自己在学校做的每一件事，努力实现全面发展，不仅在我们的课程，而且在体育，音乐，绘画，社会服务等方面都做得很好。本句已经有谓语动词，所以be good at用非谓语动词，与we在逻辑上是主动关系，所以用现在分词。故将be改成being。 8.考查连词。句意：在成功的时候我们保持谦虚，然而在困难的时候我们要保持坚强。根据句意可知，本句在对比两种情况，表示“然而”，所以连词为while。故将when改成while。 9.考查时态和主谓一致。句意：总之，在同学和老师中成为一名受欢迎的学生，是那些能够克服缺点并不断提高个人素质的人。动名词作主语，谓语动词为单数形式comes，也可用一般将来时。故将come改成comes或者在come前加will。 10.考查连词。句意：在同学和老师中成为一名受欢迎的学生，是那些能够克服缺点并不断提高个人素质的人。前后句为并列关系而非转折关系，应用and连接。故将but改成and。 第二节 书面表达（满分25分） 52. 假定你校英文报在征文，话题是：家庭和外界哪一个对孩子的成长影响更大？请用英语写一篇短文投稿，内容包括以下要点： 1. 表明你的观点； 2. 阐述所持观点的理由。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Although family has a great influence on children’s life, it is the outside-of-home factors that play a bigger part in their development. To begin with, in terms of intellectual development, teachers, who are professionally educated and experienced in teaching, play a more crucial role than parents, as they can help the children acquire knowledge and develop necessary skills more effectively. Additionally, social skills and cooperative skills, which are significant in children’s future development, can also be better cultivated through communication with peers or participation in various activities rather than the interaction with parents. In conclusion, when it comes to the role in influencing children, I strongly believe outside-of-home factors make greater contributions to the overall growth of children than family. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生针对话题：家庭和外界孩子哪个对孩子的成长影响更大，发表观点，向校英文报进行投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 影响：influence→ impact 第一点：to begin with→ first of all 此外：additionally→ in addition 重要的：significant→ essential 2. 句式拓展 同义句转化 原句：To begin with, in terms of intellectual development, teachers, who are professionally educated and experienced in teaching, play a more crucial role than parents, as they can help the children acquire knowledge and develop necessary skills more effectively. 拓展句:First and foremost, in terms of intellectual development, teachers, who are professionally educated and experienced in teaching, play a more crucial role than parents, as they can not only help the children acquire knowledge, but also can help them develop necessary skills more effectively. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Although family has a great influence on children’s life, it is the outside-of-home factors that play a bigger part in their development. （运用了it is…that…的强调句，对the outside-of-home factors表达强调） 【高分句型2】To begin with, in terms of intellectual development, teachers, who are professionally educated and experienced in teaching, play a more crucial role than parents.（运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型3】Additionally, social skills and cooperative skills, which are significant in children’s future development, can also be better cultivated through communication with peers or participation in various activities rather than the interaction with parents. （运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 听力1.A 2.C 3.
