A. whichever B. however C. whatever D. Whoever 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句。句意：——这个周末野营怎么样，来点新鲜的？——好啊，按你的意思吧！A. whichever 无论哪一个； B. however无论如何； C. whatever无论什么，在从句中做主语或宾语； D. whoever无论是谁；根据语境分析出后者支持前面的提出的观点，从句中缺少宾语。本句为主语从句，省略了is OK。故选C。 2.

A. break down B. break out C. break through D. break into 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：警察为突破这个人群圈子所做的一切努力都是无用的。A. break down分解；失败；B. break out爆发；C. break through突破；D. break into闯入。根据下文“the human ring”可知，警察为突破这个人群圈子所做的一切努力都是无用的。故选C项。 3.

A. occupied B. engaged C. dedicated D. devoted 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词短语辨析。句意：我一直忙于工作，以至于没有时间参加社交活动。A. occupied忙于的，常用搭配为be occupied with，意为“忙于……”；B. engaged忙于的，常用搭配为be engaged in，意为“从事，参与”；C. dedicated献身的，常用搭配为be dedicated to，意为“致力于；献身于”；D. devoted专心致志的，常用搭配为be devoted to，意为“致力于；专心于”。be occupied with，意为“忙于……”，符合“没时间参加社交活动”的语境。故选A项。 4.

A. that; what B. what; / C. which; that D. /; that 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查宾语从句和定语从句。句意：你不能确信你现在拥有什么；你也不能确信你将来会拥有什么。第一空填what，用以引导宾语从句，用作介词of的宾语，其中的what也在从句中用作动词have的宾语；第二空定语从句先行词something，在从句中作get的宾语，所以用关系代词that（可省略），以引导定语从句。故选B项。 5. The experiment shows that proper amounts of exercise, if_____ regularly, can improve our health. A. being carried out B. carrying out C. carried out D. to carry out 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查状语从句的省略句。句意：实验表明，适量的锻炼，如果被定期进行，能提高人们的健康。当主从句的主语一致的情况，可以省略从句的主语和be动词，If carried out=if proper amounts of exercise are carried out。选C。 【点睛】如果主句的主语和从句的主语一致，且状语从句的谓语动词中有 be 动词，从句的主语连同be 可一起省略，该类状语从句多为时间、地点、条件、方式或让步等，连词为when, while, though, if, unless, although, as if 等，后面通常接分词、不定式、形容词、名词等。 6. It is uncertain _______ side effect the medicine will bring about, although about two thousand patients have taken it. A. that B. what C. how D. whether 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句。句意：尽管大约有两千名病人已经服用了这种药物，但是它会产生什么样的副作用现在还不能确定。A. that引导名词性从句，只起连接作用，无实意；B. what什么；C. how如何；D. whether是否。该句中it是形式主语，后面的从句是主语从句，根据句意此处表示“什么样的”，应用what引导该从句，what修饰后面的side effect(副作用)。故选B。 7. Do you think shopping online will ________ take the place of shopping in stores? A. eventually B. frequently C. merely D. especially 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意：你认为网上购物最终会取代实体店购物吗？A. eventually最终；B. frequently频繁地；C. merely仅仅；D. especially特别地。根据空前“shopping online will”和空后“take the place of shopping in stores”可知，询问是网上购物在未来的发展趋势，“最终”会否取代实体店购物，A选项eventually符合句意。故选A。 8. I was surprised by her words, which made me recognize___silly mistakes I had made. A. what B. that C. how D. which 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查宾语从句引导词。句意：我被她的话惊到，这使得我意识到我犯了多么愚蠢的错误。根据句意可知，recognize后面的宾语从句是一个感叹句；分析宾语从句可知，设空后是名词短语silly mistakes，所以感叹词要选what。故选A项。 9. There is no way of knowing why one man makes an important discovery ________ another man, also intelligent, fails. A. since B. if C. as D. whilst 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查连词词义辨析。句意：无法知道为什么一个人能有重大发现，而另一个同样聪明的人却失败了。A. since自从；因为；B. if如果；是否；C. as因为；当……时候；正如；D. whilst然而；当……时候。根据空前one man makes an important discovery和空后another man, also intelligent, fails可知，前后两个分句表示对比，强调两种情况的不同，whilst有“然而”的意思，可用于对比两种情况，符合语境。故选D。 10. The discovery of new evidence led to ________. A the thief having caught B. catch the thief C. the thief being caught D. the thief to be caught 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：新证据的发现导致小偷被捕。由句子结构可知，此处to是介词，其需接动名词作宾语，此处the thief作动名词的逻辑主语；the thief与catch之间是被动关系，所以此处需用动名词的复合结构的被动形式。故选C。 11. A library with six thousand books ________ to the school as a gift. A. is offered B. has offered C. are offered D. have offered 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查主谓一致和被动语态。句意：一个有六千本书的图书馆被作为礼物提供给了这所学校。空处为句子谓语动词，主语A library为单数，谓语动词应用第三人称单数，主语与动词offer之间为被动关系，A选项is offered是一般现在时的被动语态，符合语法和句意。故选A。 12. ________, you’ll never be able to persuade him. A. However hard may you try B. Try however hard you may C. However hard you may try D. Try hard however you may 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查让步状语从句。句意：无论你多努力，你都劝不动他。分析句子可知，此句为however引导的让步状语从句，其结构为：however+ adj./ adv.+主语+谓语。故选C。 13. The EXIT signs could not be seen clearly, which ________ potential safety issues. A. presented B. comprised C. emerged D. recalled 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：出口标志看不清楚，这导致了潜在的安全问题。A. presented带来，导致；B. comprised包含，由……组成；C. emerged出现；D. recalled回忆起，召回。结合potential safety issues可知，出口标志看不清楚这种情况会带来潜在安全问题，空格处应表达“带来，导致”，故用presented。故选A。 14. He ________ the exam, but he was too careless. A. should have passed B. could have passed C. might have passed D. must have passed 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查情态动词+ have done结构。句意：他本可以通过考试的，但他太粗心了。A. should have passed本应该通过（实际未通过，强调应该做而没做）；B. could have passed本能够通过（表示有能力通过但实际未通过）；C. might have passed可能已经通过（表示不确定的推测）；D. must have passed一定已经通过（表示肯定的推测）。根据空后“but he was too careless”可知，他有通过考试的能力，只是因为粗心才没通过，所以用空处应用could have passed。故选B。 15.

A. boost their confidence B. dedicate themselves C. make it D. break new ground 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：这两个国家之间的联合制作将开辟新的领域，重塑国际电影制作的格局。A. boost their confidence增强他们的信心；B. dedicate themselves献身于；C. make it成功；D. break new ground开辟新领域。根据空后reshaping the pattern of international filmmaking可知，这种联合制作会对国际电影制作格局产生重大影响，带来新的变化和突破。故选D。 第二节：完形填空(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从31—50题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 I used to think my life was a picture of perfection.

Sign-ups are still being accepted for the second of the two five-week sessions, which will be held on five consecutive (连续的) Sundays beginning on Jan. 10, 2016.(卡拉维拉斯高中女子篮球项目推出了“小红人冬季技能训练营”，这是一个面向五至八年级女生的篮球发展项目，将于每周日下午2点至4点30分举行。目前仍在接受第二个为期五周的训练营的报名，该训练营将于2016年1月10日开始，连续五个周日举行)”可知，女子篮球项目于1月10日开始，连续五个周日举行，如果想看女生打篮球，2016年1月17日可以实现目标，因为1月17日是第二个周日。故选A项。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Calaveras High School (CHS) is looking for a head boys/ girls swim coach and a baseball coach for the 2016 spring season.(卡拉维拉斯高中正在为2016年春季学期招聘一名男女游泳队主教练和一名棒球队主教练)”可知，作为一名优秀的棒球教练，会关注卡拉维拉斯高中棒球教练招聘。故选B项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“All players must provide proofs of residency and a birth certificate.(所有选手必须提供居住证明和出生证明)”可知，如果想在Foothills Little League注册，必须提供个人身份证明。故选D项。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Costs are a $5 instructor fee and $2 donation to The Friends of Rail Road Flat School. (费用是5美元的教练费和2美元捐赠给铁路平地学校之友)”可知，如果两个大人带两个孩子去练习瑜伽，他们应该付（5+2）×4=28美元。故选C项。 B In many businesses, computers have largely replaced paperwork, because they are fast, flexible, and do not make mistakes. As one banker said, “Unlike humans, computers never have a bad day.” And they are honest. Many banks advertise that their trades are “untouched by human hands” and therefore safe from human temptation (诱惑) . Obviously, computers have no reason to steal money. But they also have no conscience, and the growing number of computer crimes shows they can be used to steal. Computer criminals don’t use guns. And even if they are caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no witnesses and often no evidence. A computer cannot remember who used it; it simply does what it is told. The head teller at a New York City bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion dollars in just four years. No one noticed this theft because he moved the money from one account to another. Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the balance in his account, the teller claimed a computer error, then replaced the missing money from someone else’s account. This man was caught only because he was a gambler (赌徒) . When the police broke up an illegal gambling operation, his name was in the records. Some employees use the computers’ power to get revenge (报仇) on employers they consider unfair. Recently, a large insurance company fired its computer tape librarian for reasons that involved her personal rather than her professional life. She was given thirty days’ notice. In those thirty days, she erased (清除) all the company’s computerized records. Most computer criminals have been minor employees. Now police wonder if this is “the tip of the iceberg”. As one official says, “I have the feeling that there is more crime out there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is all so poorly done. I wonder what the real experts are doing — the ones who know how a computer works.” 41. Which feature of computers makes computer theft possible? A. They are fast, flexible and accurate to run every program. B. They usually function normally. C. They have no sense of what is right or wrong. D. They have no reason to steal money. 42. The author uses the case of the head teller to show . A how computer criminals do evil things B. how hard it is to find computer criminals C. computers lack conscience D. computer crime can involve a big sum of money 43. The head teller was found guilty of stealing . A. after the police examined the illegal gambling operation documents B. when the police broke up the illegal gambling operation C. after he was questioned on the unusual balance of an account D. when he was caught transmitting money from one account to another 44. Why did the computer tape librarian erase all the company’s computerized records? A. She might think it was right to revenge any injustice in professional life. B. She might think the employer was wrong to fire her for personal problems. C. The company carelessly gave her enough time to do the erasing. D. The company always interfered with its employees’ personal life. 45. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Minor employees are supposed to be responsible for economic criminals. B. Of all crimes, computer theft is “the tip of the iceberg”. C. Computer crimes are all poorly done. D. There are more computer crimes committed by computer masters. 【答案】41. C 42. B 43. A 44. B 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了电脑犯罪的特点、案例以及对电脑犯罪的推测。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But they also have no conscience, and the growing number of computer crimes shows they can be used to steal. (但它们也没有良知，越来越多的计算机犯罪案例表明，计算机可以被用来盗窃。)”可知，电脑没有是非观念的特点使得电脑盗窃成为可能。故选C。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Computer criminals don’t use guns. And even if they are caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no witnesses and often no evidence. A computer cannot remember who used it; it simply does what it is told. The head teller at a New York City bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion dollars in just four years. No one noticed this theft because he moved the money from one account to another. Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the balance in his account, the teller claimed a computer error, then replaced the missing money from someone else’s account. This man was caught only because he was a gambler (赌徒) . When the police broke up an illegal gambling operation, his name was in the records. (计算机犯罪分子不用枪。而且即使他们被抓，也很难受到惩罚，因为没有目击者，往往也没有证据。计算机不会记住谁使用过它，它只会按照指令行事。纽约市一家银行的首席出纳员利用计算机在短短四年内盗走了超过15亿美元。没有人发现这起盗窃案，因为他把钱从一个账户转移到另一个账户。每当被他盗取钱财的客户询问账户余额时，这位出纳员就声称是计算机出错，然后从其他人的账户中补上缺失的钱。这个人之所以落网，只是因为他是个赌徒。警方捣毁一个非法赌博团伙时，在记录中发现了他的名字。)”可知，作者用银行出纳员的例子是为了说明找到电脑罪犯是多么困难。故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When the police broke up an illegal gambling operation, his name was in the records. (当警方捣毁一个非法赌博活动时，他的名字出现在记录中。)”可知，是在警方检查非法赌博活动文件后，这位银行出纳主管被发现有罪。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Some employees use the computers’ power to get revenge (报仇) on employers they consider unfair. Recently, a large insurance company fired its computer tape librarian for reasons that involved her personal rather than her professional life. She was given thirty days’ notice. In those thirty days, she erased (清除) all the company’s computerized records. (一些员工利用计算机的功能，向他们认为不公平的雇主进行报复。最近，一家大型保险公司解雇了其计算机磁带管理员，原因涉及她的个人生活而非工作表现。公司给了她30天的离职通知期。在那30天里，她删除了公司所有的计算机化记录。)”可知，电脑磁带管理员删除公司所有电脑记录是因为她可能认为雇主因为个人问题解雇她是错误的，所以她要报复。故选B。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As one official says, “I have the feeling that there is more crime out there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is all so poorly done. I wonder what the real experts are doing — the ones who know how a computer works.” (正如一位官员所说：“我有一种感觉，外面的犯罪比我们抓到的要多。我们现在看到的都做得很糟糕。我想知道真正的专家在做什么——那些知道电脑如何工作的人。”)”可知，有更多由电脑高手犯下的电脑犯罪。故选D。 C When I started university, people told me, “These will be the best days of your life.” Not only would these be the best days of my life, everyone said, but they would also be the most exciting. By the end of my first year I was seriously considering dropping out. I had not made as many friends, had as much fun, or enjoyed my course as much as I thought I was going to. But I didn’t tell anyone. I certainly didn’t put it on Facebook — its culture of competitive sharing made me feel even worse. Visiting my friends’ Facebook, I found that they were clearly enjoying themselves a lot. Jemma Lamble and I are friends on Facebook — what impression did she get from my Facebook page? “There is one feeling I got when I clicked on Libby’s Facebook page and that is jealousy.” Talking to fellow students has made me realize how little resemblance our Facebook lives have to our real ones. “University life wasn’t the walk in the park I had expected,” says Jemma. “I certainly didn’t expect the feeling of loneliness that I experienced because I found it hard to connect with the people on my course.” Sophie Smith remembers her first day: “As I walked into my first class, I tried my hardest to smile at everyone and make friends. But I was shocked by how blank some people were. I said to one guy, ‘Wow, LCF, I still can’t believe I’m here’. He replied, ‘Well, LCF is lucky to have me.’ I don’t want to label everyone on the course because there are some lovely people too.” My time at university may not have been the dream that I signed up for, but it has made me who I am. LCF did not provide me with the social experience I dreamed of, but it has made me appreciate the good friends I have kept from my childhood and each new one I have made here. Studying in London was frightening at times, but I have become much more independent as a result. Now that I am starting my third and final year, I can look back and see that university has been an experience. 46. What can we infer from paragraph 1? A. The author was hard to please. B. The author might not be very easy to get along with. C. The author had been fooled by those people. D. The author felt disappointed with her campus life. 47. Which of the following is TRUE about Facebook according to the text? A. A Facebook page may be a complete lie. B. People really enjoy themselves on Facebook. C. Facebook lives are a mirror of the real ones. D. Facebook makes a person competitive. 48. The underlined part in the third paragraph probably means “ ”. A. a comfortable journey on foot on campus B. an easy or pleasurable experience C. a matter of importance D. something unexpected 49. Sophie Smith must have considered the guy who replied to her . A. fortunate B. humorous C. impolite D. considerate 50. What does the author mainly say in the last paragraph? A. She feels regretful. B. LCF is not her dream college. C. Hardship has made her stronger. D. Friendship weighs more than social experience. 【答案】46. D 47. A 48. B 49. C 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者大学生活的失望经历，通过与同学交流发现社交媒体上的生活并非真实，并反思这段经历带来的成长。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“By the end of my first year I was seriously considering dropping out. I had not made as many friends, had as much fun, or enjoyed my course as much as I thought I was going to. (在第一年结束时，我正认真考虑退学。我没有交到那么多朋友，没有玩得那么开心，也没有像我认为的那样享受我的课程)”可推知，作者对她的校园生活感到失望。故选D。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I certainly didn’t put it on Facebook — its culture of competitive sharing made me feel even worse. Visiting my friends’ Facebook, I found that they were clearly enjoying themselves a lot. (我当然没有把它放在Facebook上——Facebook上那种竞争性分享的文化让我感觉更糟。当我访问我朋友的Facebook时，我发现他们显然玩得很开心)”以及第四段中“Talking to fellow students has made me realize how little resemblance our Facebook lives have to our real ones. (与同学们的交谈让我意识到，我们在Facebook上的生活与现实生活是多么的不一样)”可知，Facebook上人们分享的内容可能并不是真实生活的反映，人们在Facebook上可能表现得比现实中更快乐，Facebook页面可能是一个完全的谎言。故选A。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“I certainly didn’t expect the feeling of loneliness that I experienced because I found it hard to connect with the people on my course. (我当然没有预料到我会经历孤独的感觉，因为我发现很难与课程上的人建立联系)”可知，Jemma在大学里的经历并不轻松愉快，她感到孤独，很难与同学建立联系。因此，当她说“University life wasn’t the walk in the park I had expected”时，她是说大学生活并不像她预期的那样容易或愉快。所以画线部分的意思是“轻松或愉快的经历”。故选B。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中““As I walked into my first class, I tried my hardest to smile at everyone and make friends. But I was shocked by how blank some people were. I said to one guy, ‘Wow, LCF, I still can’t believe I’m here’. He replied, ‘Well, LCF is lucky to have me.’ I don’t want to label everyone on the course because there are some lovely people too.” (当我走进我的第一堂课的时候，我竭尽全力对每个人微笑并结交朋友。但我对一些人那种冷漠的态度感到震惊。我对一个男生说：“哇，伦敦时装学院，我仍然不敢相信我来到了这里。” 他回答道：“嗯，伦敦时装学院能有我是它的幸运。”)”可知，Sophie Smith对那个男生的回答感到惊讶，因为他的话显得很自大，不礼貌。所以Sophie Smith一定认为那个回复她的男生是不礼貌的。故选C。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“My time at university may not have been the dream that I signed up for, but it has made me who I am. LCF did not provide me with the social experience I dreamed of, but it has made me appreciate the good friends I have kept from my childhood and each new one I have made here. Studying in London was frightening at times, but I have become much more independent as a result. (我在大学的时光或许并非我当初报名时所梦想的那样，但它塑造了如今的我。伦敦时装学院没有给我带来我所梦想的社交体验，但它让我珍惜那些从童年时期就保持联系的好朋友，以及我在这里结交的每一位新朋友。在伦敦求学有时会让人感到害怕，但这也让我变得更加独立)”可知，作者在最后一段中主要想表达的是，尽管在大学期间遇到了一些困难，但这些困难让她变得更加坚强和独立。故选C。 D So many of us hold on to little resentments (怨恨) that may have resulted from an argument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle (重新点燃) a friendship or family relationship. An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn’t very good, recently told me that she hasn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. “Why not?” I asked. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted at first and said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should say sorry.” She was literally (简直) willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and sincerely said sorry to her. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins. Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small thing” into really “big thing” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right. You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less defensive and more loving towards you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don’t, that’s okay too. You will have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you will be more peaceful yourself. 51. What happened to the author’s acquaintance after she called her son? A. She was literally willing to die. B. She received her son’s apology. C. She was encouraged by the author. D. She realized her mistakes. 52. What does the author want to explain by taking her acquaintance as an example? A. That it is beneficial for both sides to reach out first. B. That a gentle encouragement will be helpful to solve the problem. C. That painful events should be forgotten. D. That parents and children are easier to make peace. 53. We can infer from the third paragraph that ________. A. happiness matters more than preventing the embarrassment at reaching out first B. to be peaceful is more important than to be right in any disagreement C. to avoid arguments and misunderstandings means seeking for happiness D. holding on to the right position leads to resentments 54. According to the passage, you can be more peaceful by ________. A. trying your best to complete your own work perfectly B. helping others create their inner content C. being active and forgetting unpleasantness D. understanding the importance of being less defensive 55. The author’s aim in writing this article is to argue that ________. A. many people hold on to little resentments B. letting others be right will definitely make them reach back C. children should apologize to their parents first D. it’s good to be the first one to reach out to break little resentments 【答案】51. B 52. A 53. A 54. C 55. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在文章中通过列举熟人的例子，告诉我们在与他人之间存在怨恨时，我们应该先进行沟通，这样对双方都有益，也会让我们感到快乐，内心更平和。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and sincerely said sorry to her.”（令她惊讶的是，儿子对她愿意打电话表示感谢，并真诚地向她道歉。）可知，作者的熟人在给她儿子打电话后，儿子对她愿意打电话表示感谢并真诚地向她道歉，由此可知，作者的熟人在给她儿子打电话后，收到了儿子真诚的道歉。故选B项。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段内容及关键句“As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.”（通常情况下，当有人抓住机会试图沟通时，每个人都会赢。）可知，熟人在作者的鼓励下先和儿子沟通，不仅自己释然了，也收到了儿子的道歉，达到了双赢的结果，由此可知，作者以熟人为例，想告诉我们当双方存在问题时，首先沟通对双方都有利。故选A项。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy.”（我们开始相信我们的地位比我们的快乐更重要。事实并非如此。如果你想成为一个更平和的人，你必须明白，做正确的人几乎从来没有比让自己快乐更重要。）和“You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less defensive and more loving towards you.”（你也会注意到，当你试图沟通，让别人“正确”时，他们会变得不那么戒备，会更爱你。）可知，作者在第三段中想要告诉我们虽然做第一个试图沟通的人会很尴尬，但这会让自己感到快乐，而让自己快乐更重要，由此可知，我们可以从第三段中得知，比起为了防止首先沟通时的尴尬，快乐更重要。故选A项。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.”（你将体验到放手的平静，以及让别人对的喜悦。）和“You will have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you will be more peaceful yourself.”（你会有内心的满足感，知道你已经尽了自己的力量去创造一个更充满爱的世界，当然你自己也会更平和。）可知，如果你想要获得内心的平静，就要学会放手，忘记不愉快，同时还要积极和对方沟通，这样你会有内心的满足感，会更平和，由此可知，根据短文，你可以通过积极主动，忘记不愉快来变得更平和。故选C项。 55题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第二段关键句“As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.”（通常情况下，当有人抓住机会试图沟通时，每个人都会赢。）和第三段关键句You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less defensive and more loving towards you.”（你也会注意到，当你试图沟通，让别人“正确”时，他们会变得不那么戒备，会更爱你。）可知，作者在文章中通过列举熟人的例子，告诉我们在与他人之间存在怨恨时，我们应该先进行沟通，这样对双方都有益，也会让我们感到快乐，内心更平和，由此可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是论证成为第一个试图沟通的人，来打破小小的怨恨是件好事。故选D项。 卷Ⅱ 主观题(共35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behaviour, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in. ● If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident. ● If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time. ●If you sleep on curling (蜷缩) up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to stay alone. ●If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people. 56. What is the best title of the passage? (No more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 57. According to the passage, please list 3 to 5 points to describe the personality of a person who sleeps on his stomach. (No more than 20 words) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 58. What kind of person is easily influenced by fashion or new ideas, in the author’s opinion? (No more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 59. Please explain the underlined word “defensive” in English? (No more than 5 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 60. Which of the personalities the sleeping positions show do you prefer and why? (The reason should be answered within 30 words) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Sleeping positions and personalities. 57. Secretive, easily upset, stubborn, not really ambitious. Living for today not for tomorrow/Enjoying having a good time. 58. Open person. 59. Hiding fault/Showing anxiety to avoid criticism (attacking)/On guard. 60. I like the personality that the last paragraph tells about. The reason is that whoever wants to succeed in his work must have confidence first and be careful enough and once he fails, he will never get depressed. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不同的睡姿如何反映一个人隐藏的性格特征，并描述了四种常见的睡姿及其相关特征。 【56题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behaviour, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. (你在清醒时不会展现真实的自我，因为可以控制行为；但入睡后，睡姿会暴露真实的你)”可知，文章解释了不同的睡姿如何反映一个人隐藏的性格特征，描述了四种常见的睡姿及其相关特征，因此，标题应为“睡姿与性格”。故答案为：Sleeping positions and personalities. 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time. (如果你习惯趴着睡，说明你是个相当内向的人。你总是思虑过多，容易心烦意乱。性格固执但缺乏野心，更注重及时行乐而非长远规划，这意味着你是个享受当下的人)”可知，习惯趴着睡的人往往性格内向、容易意乱、固执但缺乏野心，注重及时行乐，活在当下，不为明天忧虑。故答案为：Secretive, easily upset, stubborn, not really ambitious. Living for today not for tomorrow/Enjoying having a good time. 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. (如果你习惯仰卧入睡，说明你是个性格开朗的人。通常容易信任他人，也容易受到时尚潮流或新观念的影响)”可知，在作者看来，开朗的人容易受到时尚潮流或新观念的影响。故答案为：Open person. 【59题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“You have a low opinion of yourself (你对自己评价很低)”可推知，不自信的人往往会进行自我防卫，使自己不受批评，不暴露自己的短处从而让自我不受威胁，画线词意思应该是“掩饰错误/表现焦虑以避免批评（攻击）/警惕”。故答案为：Hiding fault/Showing anxiety to avoid criticism (attacking)/On guard. 【60题详解】 开放性试题。本题答案可以是多样的，但观点应尽可能是积极的。例如，根据最后一段“If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people. (如果你习惯侧卧入睡，通常说明你性格稳重。你清楚自己的优缺点，为人处事通常很谨慎。虽然偶尔会感到焦虑，但很少陷入消沉。即使可能惹人不快，你也总是直言不讳)”可知，“我”喜欢此处描述的性格，原因是无论谁想在工作中取得成功，首先必须有信心，足够小心，一旦失败，他永远不会沮丧。故答案可为：I like the personality that the last paragraph tells about. The reason is that whoever wants to succeed in his work must have confidence first and be careful enough and once he fails, he will never get depressed. 第二节: 书面表达(满分25分) 61. 假定你是李华，你校将举办“美在校园”（The Beauty at Campus）摄影大赛。请给你的朋友新西兰留学生Lucy写封邮件，邀请她参赛。内容包括： 1. 比赛目的； 2. 作品要求和截止日期； 3. 投稿地址：photocontest@ school.com。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Lucy, How is everything going?

A 20 dollars B. 8 dollars C. 28 dollars D. 14 dollars B In many businesses, computers have largely replaced paperwork, because they are fast, flexible, and do not make mistakes. As one banker said, “Unlike humans, computers never have a bad day.” And they are honest. Many banks advertise that their trades are “untouched by human hands” and therefore safe from human temptation (诱惑) . Obviously, computers have no reason to steal money. But they also have no conscience, and the growing number of computer crimes shows they can be used to steal. Computer criminals don’t use guns. And even if they are caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no witnesses and often no evidence. A computer cannot remember who used it; it simply does what it is told. The head teller at a New York City bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion dollars in just four years. No one noticed this theft because he moved the money from one account to another. Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the balance in his account, the teller claimed a computer error, then replaced the missing money from someone else’s account. This man was caught only because he was a gambler (赌徒) . When the police broke up an illegal gambling operation, his name was in the records. Some employees use the computers’ power to get revenge (报仇) on employers they consider unfair. Recently, a large insurance company fired its computer tape librarian for reasons that involved her personal rather than her professional life. She was given thirty days’ notice. In those thirty days, she erased (清除) all the company’s computerized records. Most computer criminals have been minor employees. Now police wonder if this is “the tip of the iceberg”. As one official says, “I have the feeling that there is more crime out there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is all so poorly done. I wonder what the real experts are doing — the ones who know how a computer works.” 41. Which feature of computers makes computer theft possible? A. They are fast, flexible and accurate to run every program. B. They usually function normally. C. They have no sense of what is right or wrong. D. They have no reason to steal money. 42. The author uses the case of the head teller to show . A. how computer criminals do evil things B. how hard it is to find computer criminals C. computers lack conscience D. computer crime can involve a big sum of money 43. The head teller was found guilty of stealing . A. after the police examined the illegal gambling operation documents B. when the police broke up the illegal gambling operation C. after he was questioned on the unusual balance of an account D. when he was caught transmitting money from one account to another 44. Why did the computer tape librarian erase all the company’s computerized records? A. She might think it was right to revenge any injustice in professional life. B. She might think the employer was wrong to fire her for personal problems. C. The company carelessly gave her enough time to do the erasing. D. The company always interfered with its employees’ personal life. 45. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Minor employees are supposed to be responsible for economic criminals. B. Of all crimes, computer theft is “the tip of the iceberg”. C. Computer crimes are all poorly done. D. There are more computer crimes committed by computer masters. C When I started university, people told me, “These will be the best days of your life.” Not only would these be the best days of my life, everyone said, but they would also be the most exciting. By the end of my first year I was seriously considering dropping out. I had not made as many friends, had as much fun, or enjoyed my course as much as I thought I was going to. But I didn’t tell anyone. I certainly didn’t put it on Facebook — its culture of competitive sharing made me feel even worse. Visiting my friends’ Facebook, I found that they were clearly enjoying themselves a lot. Jemma Lamble and I are friends on Facebook — what impression did she get from my Facebook page? “There is one feeling I got when I clicked on Libby’s Facebook page and that is jealousy.” Talking to fellow students has made me realize how little resemblance our Facebook lives have to our real ones. “University life wasn’t the walk in the park I had expected,” says Jemma. “I certainly didn’t expect the feeling of loneliness that I experienced because I found it hard to connect with the people on my course.” Sophie Smith remembers her first day: “As I walked into my first class, I tried my hardest to smile at everyone and make friends. But I was shocked by how blank some people were. I said to one guy, ‘Wow, LCF, I still can’t believe I’m here’. He replied, ‘Well, LCF is lucky to have me.’ I don’t want to label everyone on the course because there are some lovely people too.” My time at university may not have been the dream that I signed up for, but it has made me who I am. LCF did not provide me with the social experience I dreamed of, but it has made me appreciate the good friends I have kept from my childhood and each new one I have made here. Studying in London was frightening at times, but I have become much more independent as a result. Now that I am starting my third and final year, I can look back and see that university has been an experience. 46. What can we infer from paragraph 1? A. The author was hard to please. B. The author might not be very easy to get along with. C. The author had been fooled by those people. D. The author felt disappointed with her campus life. 47. Which of the following is TRUE about Facebook according to the text? A. A Facebook page may be a complete lie. B. People really enjoy themselves on Facebook. C. Facebook lives are a mirror of the real ones. D. Facebook makes a person competitive. 48. The underlined part in the third paragraph probably means “ ”. A. a comfortable journey on foot on campus B. an easy or pleasurable experience C. a matter of importance D. something unexpected 49. Sophie Smith must have considered the guy who replied to her . A. fortunate B. humorous C. impolite D. considerate 50. What does the author mainly say in the last paragraph? A. She feels regretful. B. LCF is not her dream college. C. Hardship has made her stronger. D. Friendship weighs more than social experience. D So many of us hold on to little resentments (怨恨) that may have resulted from an argument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle (重新点燃) a friendship or family relationship. An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn’t very good, recently told me that she hasn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. “Why not?” I asked. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted at first and said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should say sorry.” She was literally (简直) willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and sincerely said sorry to her. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins. Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small thing” into really “big thing” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right. You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less defensive and more loving towards you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don’t, that’s okay too. You will have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you will be more peaceful yourself. 51. What happened to the author’s acquaintance after she called her son? A. She was literally willing to die. B. She received her son’s apology. C. She was encouraged by the author. D. She realized her mistakes. 52. What does the author want to explain by taking her acquaintance as an example? A. That it is beneficial for both sides to reach out first. B. That a gentle encouragement will be helpful to solve the problem. C. That painful events should be forgotten. D. That parents and children are easier to make peace. 53. We can infer from the third paragraph that ________. A. happiness matters more than preventing the embarrassment at reaching out first B. to be peaceful is more important than to be right in any disagreement C. to avoid arguments and misunderstandings means seeking for happiness D. holding on to the right position leads to resentments 54. According to the passage, you can be more peaceful by ________. A trying your best to complete your own work perfectly B. helping others create their inner content C. being active and forgetting unpleasantness D. understanding the importance of being less defensive 55. The author’s aim in writing this article is to argue that ________. A. many people hold on to little resentments B. letting others be right will definitely make them reach back C. children should apologize to their parents first D. it’s good to be the first one to reach out to break little resentments 卷Ⅱ 主观题(共35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behaviour, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in. ● If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident. ● If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time. ●If you sleep on curling (蜷缩) up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to stay alone. ●If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people. 56. What is the best title of the passage? (No more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 57.
