试卷满分60分 考试时间:90分钟
一、单项填空(每题0.5分,共9分)
1. Peter’s sister was too young. Peter promised that he would take good care of ________.
A. him B. you C. her D. it
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:彼得的妹妹太小了。彼得承诺他会好好照顾她。
him他;you你/你们;her她;it它。根据前句Peter’s sister可知,此处指代的是“妹妹”,为女性第三人称单数,且作介词of的宾语,应用宾格her。
2. We ________ make the bed. Someone else will do it.
A. mustn’t B. couldn’t C. may not D. needn’t
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们不必整理床铺。别人会做。
mustn’t禁止;couldn’t不能;may not可能不;needn’t不必。根据后句“Someone else will do it.”可知别人会做这件事,推测出我们没有必要做。
3. They were ________ good students ________ the teacher took them on a school trip.
A. such; that B. so; that C. such a; that D. too; that
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:他们是如此优秀的学生以至于老师带他们去参加学校旅行。
根据“good students”可知,此处修饰名词短语应该用such,“such + 形容词 + 复数名词 + that从句”表示“如此……的……以至于……”;而“so”后一般接形容词或副词,“too”一般和“to”搭配,均不符合本句结构。所以第一空用such,第二空用that。
4. Dinner ________ amazing. Mum! I can smell it from the living room.
A. looks B. tastes C. sounds D. smells
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:晚餐闻起来很棒。妈妈!我在客厅就能闻到这个味道。
looks看起来;tastes尝起来;sounds听起来;smells闻起来。根据后句“I can smell it”可知做饭时未好之前能闻到香味,smells符合语境。
5. You won’t achieve your goals if you ________ hard.
A. don’t work B. won’t work C. didn’t work D. haven’t worked
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:如果你不努力,你就不会实现你的目标。
该句为if引导的条件状语从句,遵循“主将从现”原则,即主句用一般将来时,从句用一般现在时表将来。从句主语为you,work为实义动词,所以否定形式需要借助助动词don’t,即don’t work。
6. Billy asked me ________.
A. why didn’t Jane come B. if Anna would make the decision
C. whether Mike can help us D. what was Amy doing at home then
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:比利问我安娜是否会做这个决定。
宾语从句需用陈述语序,即“连接词 + 主语 + 谓语”。主句谓语asked为过去式,从句需用相应的过去时态。A项why didn't Jane come是疑问语序;C项can是现在时,时态不一致;D项what was Amy doing是疑问语序。B项语序正确且would符合时态要求。
7. —China has the second ________ population in the world.
—Yes, and it’s also one of the strongest countries.
A. biggest B. bigger C. more D. most
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——中国是世界第二大人口大国。——是的,它也是世界上最强大的国家之一。
考查形容词最高级。biggest最大的;bigger更大的;more更多的;most最多的。表示人口多用big;由“in the world”可知,空处应用形容词最高级形式。故选A。
8. —________ does your brother hang out with his friends?
—Hardly ever. He is busy preparing for the final exam.
A. How long B. How soon C. How often D. How far
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你哥哥多久和他的朋友出去玩一次?——几乎不去。他正忙着准备期末考试。
考查特殊疑问句。How long多久,对一段时间或长度提问;How soon多久,提问将来一段时间;How often多久一次,对频度提问;How far多远,提问距离。根据“Hardly ever”可知,问句提问频率。故选C。
9. I don’t care ________ you’re going to ask for help but the work must be done by dinner time.
A. what B. which C. whom D. whose
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:我不关心你向谁求助,但是工作必须在晚饭前做完。
考查宾语从句的引导词。what什么;which哪一个;whom谁;whose谁的。根据“I don’t care...you’re going to ask for help”可知,空处是宾语从句的引导词,结合短语ask sb. for help “向某人寻求帮助”可知,空处应选whom作ask的宾语。故选C。
10. —________ we are busy, ________ we can’t forget to show love to our parents.
—That’s right. Parents are the most important people in our life.
A. Though, but B. /, though C. But, though D. Although, /
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——虽然我们很忙,但我们不能忘记向父母表达我们的爱。——没错。父母是我们生命中最重要的人。
考查让步状语从句。though虽然,不与but连用;but但是;although虽然,不与but连用。根据“... we are busy, ...we can’t forget to show love for our parents.”可知,指的是虽然很忙,但不能忘记向父母表达爱,用although或though引导让步状语从句,不能与but同时使用。故选D。
11. You must keep your room ___________.
A. quietly B. quite C. quiet D. noise
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:你必须保持你的房间安静。
考查形容词作宾语补足语。quietly安静地,副词;quite十分,副词;quiet安静的,形容词;noise噪音,名词。根据“ keep your room”可知,keep+n+adj表示“让某事/物保持……”,形容词作宾语补足语,选项C符合。故选C。
12. I will not give up __________ I achieve my dream.
A. if B. unless C. but D. because
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我不会放弃,除非我实现了我的梦想。
考查连词辨析。if如果;unless除非;but但是;because因为。根据句子可知,后句是前句的否定条件,应用unless引导条件状语从句。故选B。
13. —Can you teach me how to save water?
—Of course. For example, collect rain water or ________ the water to do some cleaning after ________ your face.
A. reuse; washing B. reuse; wash C. reusing; wash D. reusing; washing
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你能教我怎么节约用水吗?——当然可以。例如,收集雨水或在洗脸后重复使用水来做一些清洁。
考查动词。reuse重复使用;wash洗。由“collect rain water or…the water”可知,此处是祈使句,第一空作谓语,用动词原形;after doing sth.表示“做某事之后”。故选A。

A. only a little B. a lot of C. many D. few

考查词义辨析。only a little只有一点点,修饰不可数名词;a lot of很多,既可以修饰可数名词也可以修饰不可数名词;many许多,修饰可数名词;few很少,修饰可数名词。根据“Peter has been a secretary for a long time, so he has...experience.”可知做秘书很长时间了,应该有很多的经验,experience表示“经验”时,是不可数名词,应用a lot of修饰。故选B。

A. if B. unless C. when D. while
【答案】B

Search and Rescue Dogs
Humans and dogs have been living and working together for thousands of years. Because of their protective and playful nature, people often acquire dogs as pets for children. Dog owners have also found these domestic animals useful when they go hunting for wild animals. Today, because of their natural curiosity and excellent sense of smell, many dogs are being trained to help with a variety of search and rescue missions, for example, when a skier is lost in a snowy wilderness area or a child disappears in a huge national park.
The first known use of dogs to help rescue people took place in the Great St. Bernard Pass, a route located in the mountains between Switzerland and Italy. There, hikers often became lost during bad winter weather. For many centuries, a group of religious men called monks ran a small hotel there where travelers could spend the night. In the 17th century, the monks began taking dogs with them when they went out to rescue lost travelers. They knew the dogs could use their sense of smell to locate people, but they soon discovered that the animals also had an excellent sense of direction, even when it was impossible to see anything through the blowing snow. Using dogs for search and rescue missions became common during the First World War. At that point, dogs were trained to help find injured fighters in the fields when the conflict stopped for a moment.
Not every dog can do this complex and important work. The training can last up to two years, and trainers look for four qualities in the animals they choose. First of all, the dog must interact well with humans. Second, it must have a talent for keeping its awareness on one single thing for a long period of time. Third, it has to enjoy playing games, since the training involves constantly doing the same thing over and over. Finally, it must be obedient at all times. Dogs with these qualities have become a valuable part of many life-saving teams around the world.
43. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. to show how rescue dogs are trained
B. to explain what makes a good rescue dog
C. to present some basic facts about rescue dogs
D. to describe the history of the use of rescue dogs
44. In the second sentence of the first paragraph, what does the word “their” refer to?
A. People’s. B. Dogs’. C. Children’s. D. Pets’.
45. According to the writer, which event occurred first?
A. The monks discovered that the dogs had a good sense of direction.
B. The monks began taking dogs with them on rescue missions.
C. The monks opened a hotel in the Great St. Bernard Pass.
D. The monks discovered that the dogs had an excellent sense of smell.
46. In the second paragraph, what does the phrase “took place” mean?
A. Started. B. Failed. C. Disappeared. D. Happened.
47. What is the main idea of the final paragraph?
A. Not all dogs make good rescue dogs.
B. Rescue work is complex and demanding.
C. Trainers choose only dogs that interact well with people.
D. A dog that is easily bored will not make a good rescue dog.
【答案】43. C 44. B 45. C 46. D 47. A

【导语】本文介绍搜救犬相关基础常识,讲述人与犬共处渊源、搜救犬应用发展史,说明上岗资质与选拔四大特质,展现搜救犬的实用价值。
【43题详解】
第一段介绍了搜救犬的用途,第二段讲述了搜救犬使用的历史,第三段说明了成为搜救犬所需的品质和训练。综合全文,文章旨在呈现关于搜救犬的一些基本事实。
【44题详解】
第一段第二句“Because of their protective and playful nature, people often acquire dogs as pets for children.”说明人们收养狗是因为“它们的”保护性和爱玩的天性。这里的“their”指代的是前文提到的被收养的对象,即“dogs”。
【45题详解】
第二段内容“For many centuries, a group of religious men called monks ran a small hotel there…In the 17th century, the monks began taking dogs with them…”说明僧侣们经营酒店是在17世纪带狗救援之前就已经持续了几个世纪的事情,因此建立/经营酒店发生得最早。
【46题详解】
第二段首句“The first known use of dogs to help rescue people took place in the Great St. Bernard Pass, a route located in the mountains between Switzerland and Italy.”可知,此处指搜救犬的首次使用“发生”在圣伯纳德山口。短语take place意为“发生”,与happened意思相近。
【47题详解】
第三段首句“Not every dog can do this complex and important work.”是该段的主题句,随后文章列举了搜救犬需要具备的四个品质:与人互动、专注、喜欢游戏、服从,旨在说明并非所有的狗都能成为合格的搜救犬。
D
About six years ago, I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy — who could not have been more than seven or eight years old — replied. “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident remained in my mind because it confirmed(证实)my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.
Undoubtedly(无疑),a change in children has increased steadily(平稳)in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves(牵涉)learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages(分阶段). Traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(揭示)machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation(诱惑), many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
48. According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.
A. a sure sign of a mental problem in a child
B. a mental state present in all humans, including children
C. something that cannot be avoided in children’s mental development
D. something hardly to be expected in a young child
49. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world ________.
A. through connection with society B. gradually and under guidance
C. naturally without being taught D. through watching television
50. According to the author, today’s children seem adultlike because of ________.
A. the widespread influence of television B. the poor arrangement of teaching content
C. the fast pace of human scientific development D. the rising standard of living
51. What does the author think of communication through print for children?
A. It enables children to gain more social information.
B. It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.
C. It helps children to read and write well.
D. It can control what children are to learn.
【答案】48. D 49. B 50. A 51. D
【解析】

五、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(31-33每题2分,34题4分,共10分)
Since I am a student in the second year of university now, I think it is the perfect time for me to take real responsibility for myself and begin a new challenge. I have already had a year to fit in at university, making friends, and finding out a path for my future. This is the reason why I started to do a part-time job in this year.
Interestingly enough, local Canadian students can start doing part-time jobs as early as 16 years old. They usually work at places like fast food restaurants or coffee shops. International students like me, however, are not allowed to do off-campus (在校外) jobs if they are under 18. As a university student, I have a lot of opportunities to get a part-time job either on or off campus. If I get an on-campus job, I can work in the school libraries or bookshops. If I work outside of campus, I can be a shopping guide at the mall or work at fast food restaurants.
However, what I do for my part-time job is to help international high-school students learn the subjects like English and history. I help these students through online classes. This way, I am actually doing something that a lot of people nowadays could only dream of doing, working from home.
The job really isn’t too stressful because I have some teaching experience back from when I was in high school. I can also learn a lot from it. I see doing a part-time as something that brings me a lot of advantages. For example, it not only gives me some pocket money but also teaches me skills that cannot be learned from university classes. These include skills such as interpersonal communication, time management, and financial (财务的) planning.
Some may say that doing part-time will have a bad influence on my school life since it will take time away from my studies. However, I think that part-time jobs are not something that everyone should do. It requires the ability to manage one’s time wisely and find the perfect balance between work and study.
52. Why did the writer start to do a part-time job in the second year of university?
______________________________________________
53. What kind of work can international students do outside of campus?
______________________________________________
54. How does the writer help international high-school students learn some subjects?
______________________________________________
55. Would you take any part-time job when you have some free time? Why or why not? (At least two different reasons)
______________________________________________
【答案】52. Because he thinks it is the perfect time to take real responsibility for himself and begin a new challenge, and he has already had a year to fit in at university, make friends, and find out his path for the future.
53. They can be a shopping guide at the mall or work at fast food restaurants if they are university students and over 18.
54. He helps them through online classes.
55. Yes, I would. First, part-time jobs can give me pocket money and reduce my family’s financial burden. Second, I can learn practical skills like interpersonal communication and time management that I can’t get from classes.(答案不唯一)

When we see someone lying on the side of the road, I think
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
例文
When we see someone lying on the side of the road, I think we should help them without thinking twice. Here are my reasons.
First, helping others is a traditional Chinese virtue. It can make our society warmer and better. Second, everyone may get into trouble and need help one day. If we help others now, we’ll also get help when we are in need. For example, last month, I saw an old man fall down on my way home. I went up to help him at once and called his family. They thanked me a lot. I felt very proud of myself.
In a word, offering help is always the right thing to do. Let’s give a hand to those in need.

Search and Rescue Dogs
Humans and dogs have been living and working together for thousands of years. Because of their protective and playful nature, people often acquire dogs as pets for children. Dog owners have also found these domestic animals useful when they go hunting for wild animals. Today, because of their natural curiosity and excellent sense of smell, many dogs are being trained to help with a variety of search and rescue missions, for example, when a skier is lost in a snowy wilderness area or a child disappears in a huge national park.
The first known use of dogs to help rescue people took place in the Great St. Bernard Pass, a route located in the mountains between Switzerland and Italy. There, hikers often became lost during bad winter weather. For many centuries, a group of religious men called monks ran a small hotel there where travelers could spend the night. In the 17th century, the monks began taking dogs with them when they went out to rescue lost travelers. They knew the dogs could use their sense of smell to locate people, but they soon discovered that the animals also had an excellent sense of direction, even when it was impossible to see anything through the blowing snow. Using dogs for search and rescue missions became common during the First World War. At that point, dogs were trained to help find injured fighters in the fields when the conflict stopped for a moment.
Not every dog can do this complex and important work. The training can last up to two years, and trainers look for four qualities in the animals they choose. First of all, the dog must interact well with humans. Second, it must have a talent for keeping its awareness on one single thing for a long period of time. Third, it has to enjoy playing games, since the training involves constantly doing the same thing over and over. Finally, it must be obedient at all times. Dogs with these qualities have become a valuable part of many life-saving teams around the world.
43. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. to show how rescue dogs are trained
B. to explain what makes a good rescue dog
C. to present some basic facts about rescue dogs
D. to describe the history of the use of rescue dogs
44. In the second sentence of the first paragraph, what does the word “their” refer to?
A. People’s. B. Dogs’. C. Children’s. D. Pets’.
45. According to the writer, which event occurred first?
A. The monks discovered that the dogs had a good sense of direction.
B. The monks began taking dogs with them on rescue missions.
C. The monks opened a hotel in the Great St. Bernard Pass.
D. The monks discovered that the dogs had an excellent sense of smell.
46. In the second paragraph, what does the phrase “took place” mean?
A. Started. B. Failed. C. Disappeared. D. Happened.
47. What is the main idea of the final paragraph?
A. Not all dogs make good rescue dogs.
B. Rescue work is complex and demanding.
C. Trainers choose only dogs that interact well with people.
D. A dog that is easily bored will not make a good rescue dog.
D
About six years ago, I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy — who could not have been more than seven or eight years old — replied. “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident remained in my mind because it confirmed(证实)my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.
Undoubtedly(无疑),a change in children has increased steadily(平稳)in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves(牵涉)learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages(分阶段). Traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(揭示)machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation(诱惑), many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
48. According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.
A. a sure sign of a mental problem in a child
B. a mental state present in all humans, including children
C. something that cannot be avoided in children’s mental development
D. something hardly to be expected in a young child
49. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world ________.
A. through connection with society B. gradually and under guidance
C. naturally without being taught D. through watching television
50. According to the author, today’s children seem adultlike because of ________.
A. the widespread influence of television B. the poor arrangement of teaching content
C. the fast pace of human scientific development D. the rising standard of living
51. What does the author think of communication through print for children?
A. It enables children to gain more social information.
B. It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.
C. It helps children to read and write well.
D. It can control what children are to learn.

Since I am a student in the second year of university now, I think it is the perfect time for me to take real responsibility for myself and begin a new challenge. I have already had a year to fit in at university, making friends, and finding out a path for my future. This is the reason why I started to do a part-time job in this year.
Interestingly enough, local Canadian students can start doing part-time jobs as early as 16 years old. They usually work at places like fast food restaurants or coffee shops. International students like me, however, are not allowed to do off-campus (在校外) jobs if they are under 18. As a university student, I have a lot of opportunities to get a part-time job either on or off campus. If I get an on-campus job, I can work in the school libraries or bookshops. If I work outside of campus, I can be a shopping guide at the mall or work at fast food restaurants.
However, what I do for my part-time job is to help international high-school students learn the subjects like English and history. I help these students through online classes. This way, I am actually doing something that a lot of people nowadays could only dream of doing, working from home.
The job really isn’t too stressful because I have some teaching experience back from when I was in high school. I can also learn a lot from it. I see doing a part-time as something that brings me a lot of advantages. For example, it not only gives me some pocket money but also teaches me skills that cannot be learned from university classes. These include skills such as interpersonal communication, time management, and financial (财务的) planning.
Some may say that doing part-time will have a bad influence on my school life since it will take time away from my studies. However, I think that part-time jobs are not something that everyone should do. It requires the ability to manage one’s time wisely and find the perfect balance between work and study.
