I’ve never heard of...one! We can reduce pollution in this way.”可知，第一空，句中“idea”后有“of taking part in ‘Earth Hour’”作定语，明确限定了“idea”的具体内容，属于“特指”，因此使用定冠词“the”；第二空，句中“one”指代前文的“idea”，此处表示从没听过比这“更好的一个想法”，此处是泛指“一个更好的想法”，“better”以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词“a”，因此使用“a better”。故选B。 2.

A. realized B. reminded C. required D. repeated 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这本讲述山西人民生活的书让我们想起了过去的艰难岁月。我们应该珍惜今天的生活。 考查动词辨析。realized意识到；reminded提醒，使想起；required需要；repeated重复。根据“The book telling the lives of people in Shanxi ... us of the hard times in the past”可知，是指这本书让我们想起了过去的艰难岁月，remind sb of sth“使某人想起某事”。故选B。 3.

A. as good as B. as well as C. as much as D. as many as 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个古代的金面具保存得如此完好，以至于看起来和新的一样好。 考查形容词原级。as good as和……一样好，形容词原级；as well as和……一样好，副词原级；as much as和……一样多，修饰不可数名词；as many as和……一样多，修饰可数名词复数。根据“The gold mask from ancient times is kept so well that it looks…new.”可知此处表示保存得和新的一样好，并且“looks”是系动词，后面应用形容词，因此用“as good as”。故选A。 4. — Monster Hunt is the best film I’ve ever seen in the past few years. — I can’t agree more. You ________ praise this film too much. A. can B. should C. can’t D. shouldn’t 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——《捉妖记》是我在过去几年里看过的最好的电影。——我非常同意。你再怎么赞扬这部电影也不过分。 考查情态动词。can可以；should应该；can’t不能；shouldn’t不应该。根据上文“I can’t agree more”可知，对方非常同意说话者的看法，所以用“can not … too much”结构，意为“再……也不过分”。故选C。 5.

A. to walk; to cheering B. to walk; to cheer C. walking; to cheering D. walking; to cheer 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我感到忧伤时，我喜欢在湖边散步让自己振作起来。 考查非谓语动词。prefer to do sth.“更喜欢做某事”，因此第一空应用动词不定式“to walk”作宾语；第二空表示在湖边散步的目的，应用动词不定式“to cheer”作目的状语。故选B。 6. ---Why don’t you get used to the life in Beijing? ---_______ the crowded traffic _________ the high living cost.

A. improve B. improved C. to improve D. improving 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：--我们该注意一些什么其他的来改善我们的生活。--我认为是我们心情的变化。考查非谓语动词。此句pay attention to的宾语是what else，后面用不定式做目的状语。故选C。 8. —Let’s go fishing if it ________ tomorrow. —But nobody knows if it ________ tomorrow.

A. Instead B. Moreover C. Otherwise D. Anyway 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——火灾太可怕了！——无论如何，楼里的人现在安全了，这是我最关心的。 考查副词辨析。Instead代替；Moreover而且，此外；Otherwise否则；Anyway无论如何，不管怎样。根据“the people in the building are safe, and that’s what I care about most.”可知，是指无论如何，楼里的人现在已经安全了，表达让步关系，应用“Anyway”。故选D。 11. —Who do you think will be chosen to be our new chairperson? —The one who can ________ extra stress and burden.

You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality 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 new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, 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 person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. If you sleep curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own. 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 worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry. 28. When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality? A. In the daytime. B. At the beginning of sleep. C. At night. D. During the deep sleep. 29. Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep ________. A. on her stomach B. on her back C. on her side D. curled up 30. What does the passage tell us? A. Sleeping on your side is the best way of sleeping. B. Changing positions will cause sleeping problems. C. Enough sleep makes people look better and healthier. D. Sleeping positions show people’s secret personalities. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文揭示了“睡眠姿势与隐藏性格”的关联，还分别介绍了仰卧、俯卧、蜷缩和侧卧四种睡姿对应的性格特征，帮助读者通过睡姿了解自身或他人的隐藏性格。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep in”可知，人们夜间常会改变睡姿，但“入睡时的姿势”是最能体现隐藏性格的姿势，即“睡眠开始时。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets”可知，“俯卧”的人喜欢保守秘密。故选A。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇即点明核心——“when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you（睡眠时的姿势会暴露真实的你）”，随后分四种睡姿详细说明对应的隐藏性格，始终围绕“睡眠姿势体现隐藏性格”展开。故选D。 C Walking back to camp through the swamp (沼泽), Sam wondered whether to tell his father what he had seen. “I know one thing,” he said to himself. “I’m going back to that little pond (池塘) again tomorrow. And I’d like to go alone. If I tell my father what I saw today, he will want to go with me. I’m not sure that is a very good idea.” Sam was eleven. His last name was Beaver. He was strong for his age and had black hair and dark eyes like an Indian. Sam walked like an Indian, too, putting one foot straight in front of the other and making very little noise. The swamp through which he was traveling was a wild place. There was no road, and it was soft and wet underfoot, which made walking difficult. Every four or five minutes Sam took his compass (指南针) out of his pocket and checked his way to make sure he was going in the right direction. Canada is a big place. Much of it is wild land. To get lost in the woods and swamps of western Canada would be a serious matter. As he trudged on, the boy’s mind was full of the wonder of what he had seen. Not many people in the world have seen the living place of a Trumpeter Swan. Sam had found one on the lonely pond on this day in spring. He had seen the two great white birds with their long white necks and black bills. Nothing he had ever seen before in all his life had made him feel quite the way he felt, on that wild little pond, in the presence of those two large swans. They were so much bigger than any bird he had ever seen before. The nest was big, too. The female was sitting on eggs; the male walked slowly back and forth, guarding her. —Taken from The Trumpet of the Swan 31. The underlined word “trudged” may mean ________. A. walked fast and easily B. walked fast but heavily C. walked slowly with heavy steps D. walked slowly with light steps 32. Which of the following is TRUE about the reading? A. Sam was walking with a man. B. Sam didn’t worry about losing his way. C. Sam didn’t know where the swan’s nest was. D. Sam looked stronger than many other boys of his age. 33. What is the right order of the things Sam did? ①was going back to that little pond ②saw two great white swans ③checked his way with his compass ④began walking back to camp A. ①③②④ B. ②④③① C. ④①③② D. ④③②① 【答案】31. C 32. D 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《吹小号的天鹅》，讲述了11岁男孩萨姆・比弗穿过沼泽返回营地时的心理活动与经历。他白天在偏僻池塘发现了天鹅的栖息地，既想独自再去探索，又担心告诉父亲后父亲会一同前往；返程中，他借助指南针确认方向，心中满是对白天所见天鹅的惊叹。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The swamp through which he was traveling was a wild place. There was no road, and it was soft and wet underfoot, which made walking difficult.”以及“As he trudged on, the boy’s mind was full of the wonder of what he had seen.”可知，沼泽地没有路，脚下又软又湿，行走十分艰难，小男孩在沼泽地里跋涉着行走。因此“trudged”应表示“艰难地、迈着沉重步伐缓慢行走”。故选C。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He was strong for his age and had black hair and dark eyes like an Indian.”可知，萨姆在同龄孩子中算强壮的，即比许多同龄男孩强壮。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中内容可知，②先看到天鹅 → ④开始返回营地 → ③用指南针确认方向 → ①决定第二天再去池塘。故选B。 D ①For years, scientists have known how to measure (衡量) the intelligence (智力) of a person. Recently they began to do research into group intelligence. Early research shows that group intelligence is not the total of the intelligence of the persons in it. So what is the secret of a group’s success? ②Researchers at a research company and a university have both dealt with this question. They believe they finally have a handle on what makes some work teams successful. In the study of the company, researchers collected information and studied it to find patterns (模式). Are members of effective (有效的) groups friends outside of work? Do members with similar personalities work together best? They discussed many opinions, but found no patterns to support them. In fact, who was in the team did not make a difference. Instead, the difference between more effective teams and less effective teams was in the interaction (互动) among the members. The university group collected information by using digital badges (数字徽章) that people agreed to wear. They provided much information, including how long people spoke, where they were looking during communication, and their body language. ③Not only the research company but also the university group found that the key to an effective team was how members communicated with each other. ④Among the findings, the most important is that, in effective teams, members spoke for almost the same amount (数量) of time—not at every meeting or communication, but the whole course of a project. The second one was that members showed an understanding of how it might feel to walk in somebody else’s shoes. A high level of these two characteristics makes a member feel comfortable when he expresses his opinions and makes suggestions without fear of being doubted by other members. They believe that others will listen to them and value what they say. ⑤One might say that most of these findings are clear. However, understanding group intelligence can help people make the basic changes that are necessary to increase the chance of a group’s success. 34. How did the university group do their research? A. They collected information on how people behaved. B. They studied the findings of some earlier research. C. They asked people questions and explained the answers. D. They discussed their opinions and found common pattern. 35. What can we learn about the researchers’ findings? A. It’s important to divide time equally among group members at one meeting. B. It is necessary for group members to understand each other’s feelings. C. It is common for group members to be doubted in an effective group. D. It is believed that group members are all friends during and outside of work. 36. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 37. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Value of Team Members B. The Secret of Group Research C. The Key to Successful Work Teams D. The Competition between groups 【答案】34. A 35. B 36. A 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了群体智力对团队工作成功的影响。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The university group collected information by using digital badges (数字徽章) that people agreed to wear. They provided much information, including how long people spoke, where they were looking during communication, and their body language.”可知，大学组的研究人员收集信息，这些信息包括人们说话的时长、他们在互动过程中注视的位置以及他们的肢体语言，即他们收集人们行为的信息。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The second one was that members showed an understanding of how it might feel to walk in somebody else’s shoes…They believe that others will listen to them and value what they say.”可知，要站在别人的立场上，这会让成员感觉舒服，即小组成员有必要了解彼此的感受。故选B。 【36题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章第一段引出主题：团队成功的秘诀是什么；第二、三、四段介绍了一家研究公司和一所大学的研究及他们的发现；第五段总结：了解群体智力可以帮助人们做出必要的基本改变，以增加一个群体成功的机会。文章结构为：总—分—总。故选A。 【37题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了群体智力对团队工作成功的影响，所以选项C“成功工作团队的关键”为标题更合适。故选C。 第II卷 (主观题 共50分) 四、词汇运用 (本大题共10分, 每小题1分) (A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 38.

The woman got ________ (patient) as she waited in line for a long time. 【答案】impatient 【解析】 【详解】句意：那个女人变得不耐烦了，因为她排了很长时间队。根据“as she waited in line for a long time”可知，此处表示因长时间排队而变得不耐烦，应用patient“耐心的”的反义词impatient“不耐烦的”，位于系动词“got”后作表语。故填impatient。 47. My grandfather ________ (prefer) running to jogging, but now he likes jogging. 【答案】preferred 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的祖父过去更喜欢跑步而不是慢跑，但现在他喜欢慢跑。根据“but now…”可知前面的句子是表示过去，与现在做对比，应用一般过去时，动词“prefer”需变为过去式“preferred”。故填preferred。 五、动词填空 用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空。（本大题共10分，每小题1分） 48. At weekends， I'd rather________（stay） at home， surfing the Internet． 【答案】stay 【解析】 【详解】句意：周末，我总是呆在家里上网。stay停留，动词；句子考查would rather do sth表示“宁愿做某事”，所以这里用动词原形，故填stay。 49. Terribly sorry, what did you say just now? I ________ (listen) to a voice message on the phone. 【答案】was listening 【解析】 【详解】句意：非常抱歉，你刚才说什么？我在听电话里的语音留言。根据“Terribly sorry, what did you say just now? I ... to a voice message on the phone.”可知，“听电话里的语音留言”发生在“你刚才说话的时候”，符合过去进行时was/were doing，表示过去某个时刻正在发生的动作。主语是I，be动词用was，listen的现在分词是listening。故填was listening。 50. —Excuse me! When can I get my car back? —Not until it ________ (repair) next Saturday. 【答案】is repaired 【解析】 【详解】句意：——打扰一下！我什么时候能取回我的车？ ——要到下周六才修好。repair“维修”，动词，且主语it指代的是car“汽车”，与谓语动词repair“维修”之间为被动关系，应用被动语态。答句中省略了主句，从句为含有“not until”引导的时间状语从句，应遵循“主将从现”原则，则应用一般现在时的被动语态，其结构为“am/is/are done”，主语it为第三人称单数形式，be动词应用is，repair的过去分词形式为repaired。故填is repaired。 51. —Gary, I ________ (clean) your room. I hope you can keep it as clean as it is now. —All right! I’ll tidy it up every Sunday. 【答案】have cleaned 【解析】 【详解】句意：——加里，我已经打扫了你的房间。我希望你能保持它像现在一样干净。——好的！我每个星期天都会打扫的。根据“I hope you can keep it as clean as it is now.”可知，房间现在很干净，这是打扫的结果，即“打扫”发生在过去，对现在产生了影响，符合现在完成时的定义；现在完成时结构have/has done，主语是I，助动词是have，clean的过去分词是cleaned。故填have cleaned。 52. Jim promised he ________ (return) the books on time but he failed. 【答案】would return 【解析】 【详解】句意：吉姆答应按时还书，但他没有做到。return“归还”，动词。相对“答应”这个动作来说，“还书”这个动作发生在将来，应用将来时；根据“promised”可知，主句为一般过去时，宾语从句“he....on time”应用相应的过去时态，即过去将来时；此处表示从过去某一时间看将要发生的动作，应用would do结构。故填would return。 53. Why was Lily made ________ (paint) the wall of the classroom today? 【答案】to paint 【解析】 【详解】句意：为什么Lily今天被要求粉刷教室的墙？根据“Why was Lily made”可知，be made to do sth“被要求去做某事”，此处动词不定式作主语补足语。故填to paint。 54. —Hi, Mary! Look at your shoes. They’re worn out. —Oh, thanks for reminding me. I ________ (not notice) that. 【答案】didn’t notice 【解析】 【详解】句意：——嗨，玛丽！看看你的鞋子。它们已经磨损了。——哦，谢谢你提醒我。我没有注意到。根据“thanks for reminding me”可知此处描述过去的事情，时态应用一般过去时，应使用助动词didn’t，动词notice填原形。故填didn’t notice。 55. Yuan Longping devoted all his life to ________ (study) the rice in China. 【答案】studying 【解析】 【详解】句意：袁隆平奉献一生研究中国的稻米。study“学习”为动词，devote oneself to sth./doing sth.，意为“献身于做某事”，故空处需动名词studying。故填studying。 56. If you ________ (not be) polite enough, you will fail to make friends with others. 【答案】aren’t 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果你不够礼貌，你将无法与他人交朋友。此句是由“If”引导的条件状语从句，时态遵循“主将从现”，主句用一般将来时，从句应用一般现在时，主语是“you”，be动词应用“are”，变为否定句，在be动词后加not，缩写为“aren’t”。故填aren’t。 57. You’d better not make noise. Not only the twins but their father ________ (plan) the coming holiday. 【答案】is planning 【解析】 【详解】句意：你最好不要制造噪音。不仅这对双胞胎，而且他们的父亲也正在计划即将到来的假期。根据“You’d better not make noise. Not only the twins but their father…the coming holiday.”及提示词可知，此处指“正在计划即将到来的假期”，描述的是正在发生的事情，时态用现在进行时，结构为be+现在分词；“Not only...but (also)...”遵循就近原则，主语“their father”为第三人称单数，be动词用is，plan的现在分词形式为“planning”。故填is planning。 六、阅读表达 （本大题共10分，每小题2分） 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过5个单词。 “From hill to hill no birds in flight From path to path no men in sight ” —translated by Xu Yuanchong It doesn’t matter how good you are.

Xu is considered to be the best, but that hasn’t stopped him from always trying to become better. Most of you are good at English or some other subjects. A few of you are even the best in your class.

You may read this passage ________. A. in a textbook B. in a history book C. in a fashion magazine D. on the Internet B 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 yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality 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 new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, 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 person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. If you sleep curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own. 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 worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry. 28. When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality? A. In the daytime. B. At the beginning of sleep. C. At night. D. During the deep sleep. 29. Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep ________. A. on her stomach B. on her back C. on her side D. curled up 30. What does the passage tell us? A. Sleeping on your side is the best way of sleeping. B. Changing positions will cause sleeping problems. C. Enough sleep makes people look better and healthier. D. Sleeping positions show people’s secret personalities. C Walking back to camp through the swamp (沼泽), Sam wondered whether to tell his father what he had seen. “I know one thing,” he said to himself. “I’m going back to that little pond (池塘) again tomorrow. And I’d like to go alone. If I tell my father what I saw today, he will want to go with me. I’m not sure that is a very good idea.” Sam was eleven. His last name was Beaver. He was strong for his age and had black hair and dark eyes like an Indian. Sam walked like an Indian, too, putting one foot straight in front of the other and making very little noise. The swamp through which he was traveling was a wild place. There was no road, and it was soft and wet underfoot, which made walking difficult. Every four or five minutes, Sam took his compass (指南针) out of his pocket and checked his way to make sure he was going in the right direction. Canada is a big place. Much of it is wild land. To get lost in the woods and swamps of western Canada would be a serious matter. As he trudged on, the boy’s mind was full of the wonder of what he had seen. Not many people in the world have seen the living place of a Trumpeter Swan. Sam had found one on the lonely pond on this day in spring. He had seen the two great white birds with their long white necks and black bills. Nothing he had ever seen before in all his life had made him feel quite the way he felt, on that wild little pond, in the presence of those two large swans. They were so much bigger than any bird he had ever seen before. The nest was big, too. The female was sitting on eggs; the male walked slowly back and forth, guarding her. —Taken from The Trumpet of the Swan 31. The underlined word “trudged” may mean ________. A. walked fast and easily B. walked fast but heavily C. walked slowly with heavy steps D. walked slowly with light steps 32. Which of the following is TRUE about the reading? A. Sam was walking with a man. B. Sam didn’t worry about losing his way. C. Sam didn’t know where the swan’s nest was. D. Sam looked stronger than many other boys of his age. 33. What is the right order of the things Sam did? ①was going back to that little pond ②saw two great white swans ③checked his way with his compass ④began walking back to camp A ①③②④ B. ②④③① C. ④①③② D. ④③②① D ①For years, scientists have known how to measure (衡量) the intelligence (智力) of a person. Recently they began to do research into group intelligence. Early research shows that group intelligence is not the total of the intelligence of the persons in it. So what is the secret of a group’s success? ②Researchers at a research company and a university have both dealt with this question. They believe they finally have a handle on what makes some work teams successful. In the study of the company, researchers collected information and studied it to find patterns (模式). Are members of effective (有效的) groups friends outside of work? Do members with similar personalities work together best? They discussed many opinions, but found no patterns to support them. In fact, who was in the team did not make a difference. Instead, the difference between more effective teams and less effective teams was in the interaction (互动) among the members. The university group collected information by using digital badges (数字徽章) that people agreed to wear. They provided much information, including how long people spoke, where they were looking during communication, and their body language. ③Not only the research company but also the university group found that the key to an effective team was how members communicated with each other. ④Among the findings, the most important is that, in effective teams, members spoke for almost the same amount (数量) of time—not at every meeting or communication, but the whole course of a project. The second one was that members showed an understanding of how it might feel to walk in somebody else’s shoes. A high level of these two characteristics makes a member feel comfortable when he expresses his opinions and makes suggestions without fear of being doubted by other members. They believe that others will listen to them and value what they say. ⑤One might say that most of these findings are clear. However, understanding group intelligence can help people make the basic changes that are necessary to increase the chance of a group’s success. 34. How did the university group do their research? A. They collected information on how people behaved. B. They studied the findings of some earlier research. C. They asked people questions and explained the answers. D. They discussed their opinions and found common pattern. 35. What can we learn about the researchers’ findings? A. It’s important to divide time equally among group members at one meeting. B. It is necessary for group members to understand each other’s feelings. C. It is common for group members to be doubted in an effective group. D. It is believed that group members are all friends during and outside of work. 36. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 37. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Value of Team Members B. The Secret of Group Research C. The Key to Successful Work Teams D.
