A. Sure, it’s up to you B. Sure, with pleasure
C. Sorry, I can’t make it D. Sorry, I’m not available today
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查情景交际。句意:——我们晚上七点去散步怎么样?——抱歉,我不行。八点可以吗?A. Sure, it’s up to you当然,由你决定;B. Sure, with pleasure当然,很乐意;C. Sorry, I can’t make it抱歉,我(七点)不行;D. Sorry, I’m not available today抱歉,我今天没空。根据后半句答语“Will eight o’clock be OK?”可知,第二个人七点没空,但八点有时间。故选C。
2. The quality of education in this small school is better than ______ in some larger schools.
A. that B. one
C. it D. this
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查代词。句意:这所小学校的教育质量要好于一些大学校。句中代词代指不可数名词the quality of education,故用代词that。代词it和one都代指可数名词单数。故选A。代词it, one和that都可指代前面提到的名词。一般说来,it指代同名同物;one与that则指代同名异物,但one为泛指,相当于a/an+名词,只可代指可数名词;that为特指,相当于the+名词,可以代指不可数名词。one既可代替事物,也可代替人,that只能代替事物而不能代替人。掌握好这些知识就不难选出答案。
3. All children should be encouraged to realize their full ______ in school.
A. potential B. principles C. possessions D. participation

【详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:应该鼓励所有的孩子在学校里充分发挥他们的潜力。A. potential潜力、可能性;B. principles道德原则、行为规范;C. possessions财产、所有物;D. participation参加、参与。根据句意可知,此处应指发挥学生的潜力,potential符合句意。故选A项。

5. Mr. White, who ________ in Shanghai for seven years, is a manager of a company in Beijing.
A. worked B. had worked C. was working D. has worked
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:怀特先生在上海工作了七年,现在是北京一家公司的经理。根据定语从句中时间状语for seven years及空后is a manager of a company in Beijing可知,此处陈述的是过去的事情,应用一般过去时。故选A。

A. that B. which C. where D. when

【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:他很感激拥有一个家庭,在这里他的父母给他这么多的爱和关心。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a family,结合语意可知,此处a family表示抽象地点,关系词在从句中作地点状语,所以使用关系副词where引导从句。故选 C。

A. put up B. pick up C. take up D. turn up
【答案】C

9. ________ the past year as an exchange student in Britain, Linda appears maturer than those of her age.
A. Having spent B. Having been spent
C. To spend D. Had spent
【答案】A
【解析】

C. have completed D. will complete
【答案】A

13. We are glad to see the plan ______ out smoothly by your group so far.
A. carrying B. to carry C. carry D. carried
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:到目前为止,我们很高兴看到你们小组的计划执行得很顺利。动词see后,宾语the plan与非谓语动词短语carry out之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词作宾语补足语,表示动作已完成。故选D。
14. A library with five thousand books ________ to the nation as a gift.
A. is offered B. has offered C. are offered D. have offered
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:一座藏书五千册的图书馆被作为礼物赠送给国家。分析句子可知,本句为一般现在时,当主语有as well as,with ,but/beside/except, rather than连接时,谓语动词单复数取决于其前的词的单复数形式。所以本句的主语为A library,与谓语offer为被动关系,所以本句为一般现在时的被动语态。故选A项。
15. He ______ it by himself, for there was no one else in the room to turn to.
A. must have done B. would have done C. need have done D. could have done
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查must have done用法。句意:他一定是自己做的,因为房间里没有别人可以求助。A. must have done一定做了;B. would have done本来会做;C. need have done本需要做;D. could have done本可以做。根据“for there was no one else in the room to turn to”可知,此处是对过去有把握的推测,指“一定是自己做的”,使用must have done,故选A。

B
Earlier this year, I was looking for part-time work. Moonmilk, a cake and ice cream shop nearby, was hiring, so I went in for a trial shift. I practiced scooping ice cream for 20 minutes and talked to the manager for 40 minutes about our favorite pizza spots. I immediately knew this place was special. While I originally just set out to earn some extra money during the summer, the bonds and memories I made there turned out to be more valuable than any paycheck.
Once, a man who works for the union of the local movie theater came in to place an order. He wanted a cake to celebrate a victory he’d had in stopping the theater from being kicked out by its landlord. Moonmilk’s owner was touched by the story and refused payment for the cake. Later, the union leader – so moved by the gesture – delivered free movie tickets to Moonmilk staff.
The older women customers are among my favorites. Their concern is disarming; they often wonder if I’m okay and tell me I look tired. One regular, always alone and smiling, is kind and generous, ordering methodically and always declaring we have the best ice cream in the city.
There’s also the guy who comes in frequently to ask if we have the chocolate orange flavor – that we only ever have at Christmas. I always have to say no, but his persistence brings me joy, especially on days when I’m tired.
As with any job, there are unpleasant moments. My wrist (手腕) often hurts from repeatedly scooping out ice cream, and it’s always annoying when a group of people come in and take way too long to order, holding up all the others waiting.
In the fall, my full-time job’s schedule becomes more demanding and I know I’ll have to reduce my shifts. I’ll miss the busyness of the summer season and will run into my favorite customers less often. The winter months are long and the owner has spoken about days when only three people come in.
But my experience working at this popular spot has helped me feel more connected to my local community. The interactions and connections I’ve made will keep me going until at least next summer. Hopefully, the orange chocolate ice cream has returned by then.
41. What initially drew the author to work at Moonmilk?
A. A love for cake and ice cream.
B. The chance to earn extra money.
C. A personal connection to the shop.
D. The manager’s engaging personality.
42. What does the underlined word “disarming” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Heartwarming. B. Surprising.
C. Distracting. D. Embarrassing.

E-books have changed the way many people read for pleasure. Now, online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and some teachers teach. More than 175,000 students attend the public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia. This school year, middle schools changed from printed to e-textbooks in their social studies classes.
Peter Norman, an officer of school, says, “Publishers can quickly update (更新) e-textbooks with the latest information. Digital books also cost less than printed textbooks. We actually have bought all of the online textbooks for our students for just under six million dollars.”
Social studies teacher Michael Bambara says the e-book he uses in his government class is better than a printed textbook. He likes the way it has materials for students with different levels of reading skills. He says, “Particularly this book, which I use in government, has differentiated reading levels. So a person can individualize their learning and I can individualize their instruction.”
But the students also need the Internet when they are not at school. About ten percent of students in Fairfax County do not go online at home. Stephen Castillo is one of them. He says, “Pretty much I go to the library.” Public libraries in the county have free Internet. Middle school student Slieman Hakim says, “My family has to share a single computer at home. So I come here to do my homework.”
Other school systems in the area are also considering online textbooks. In Prince George’s county, sixty percent of students go online at home. Curriculum Director Gladys Whitehead says an e-book test project is being planned. She says, “Next year we’ll just have a pilot (试点项目) with probably one classroom and one subject area, so that we can see what problems will come up.”
46. According to the passage, online textbooks _________.
A. cost more than printed textbooks
B. attract more students to attend public schools
C. offer teachers and students different experiences
D. are sure to take the place of printed textbooks soon
47. What does Peter Norman think about online textbooks?
A. They can satisfy all the needs of different students.
B. Only a few schools can afford to buy online textbooks.
C. They can help students to learn about the newest information.
D. Publishers can get much more money by offering online textbooks.
48. Social studies teacher Michael Bambara tends to think that _________.
A. each student may choose reading materials at will
B. online textbooks are especially suitable for social studies
C. teachers will spend less time individualizing their instruction
D. traditional textbooks can’t meet the need of different reading levels
49. Why does Stephen Castillo go to the public library after school?
A. Because he isn’t able to use online textbooks at home.
B. Because he wants to read more books at the public library.
C. Because he can do his homework more easily with library books.
D. Because he’d like to share his e-books with his friends at the public library.
50. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Online textbooks make more students buy computer.
B. Online textbooks are being accepted by more schools.
C. Online textbooks must be planned before they are used.

I had been working for a company in Australia for more than ten years. I had just found a better job and I knew that the manager would be disappointed when I was leaving. I recently became friends with a young man who had just migrated to Australia to escape war in his homeland. He was unskilled and was finding life difficult as he was unemployed.
The manager asked me to introduce someone who I thought could do the job just as well as me, so I took this opportunity to arrange an interview for my new friend. However, in the end, he was not offered the job after the interview.
Later, I asked the manager why my friend was turned down. The manager thought that his English was not good enough for the position, but I suggested that my friend will be a good choice for the company since I could train him. I believed that once given the time to learn, he could do the job. After a week’s training, he was employed and was happy with his position.
I knew how the terrible war had forced him to leave his homeland and what price he had paid for doing so. I appreciate being able to live in Australia and believe that this appreciation is best proved by offering acts of kindness to people in need of help. The smile of appreciation from this man continues to impel me to give, which is a very happy and enjoyable process, during which I also receive some unexpected things, such as help, prize, flowers, love and so on.
51. What’s the reason of the young man’s coming to Australia? (no more than 5 words)
__________________________________________________
52. Why was the young man initially turned down for the job? (no more than 10 words)
__________________________________________________
53. How did the man get the job in the end? (no more than 10 words)

54. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 probably mean? (1 word)
__________________________________________________
55. What’s your opinion about “giving and receiving”? Give your reasons. (no more than 25 words)
__________________________________________________
【答案】51. To escape/Escaping war in his homeland.
52. Because his English was not good enough./ Because he was weak in English.
53. The author helped train him for the job.
54. Motivate/ Encourage/Inspire.
55. Giving is also receiving. If you are a person who likes to give and help, then you will be also a person who often receives something from others.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者在一家公司工作了十多年,在离职的时候想要推荐自己新认识的朋友做这份工作。这个朋友从遭受战乱的家乡移民到澳大利亚,正因失业而生活困苦。一开始经理并不打算雇他,但在作者的坚持下,这个朋友得到了这份工作。朋友的感激驱使作者继续对他人付出,而在这个过程中作者也收获了意想不到的东西。
【51题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“I recently became friends with a young man who had just migrated to Australia to escape war in his homeland.(我最近和一个年轻人交上了朋友,他刚刚移民到澳大利亚以躲避家乡的战争。)”可知,这个年轻人来到澳大利亚是为了躲避家乡的战争。故答案为To escape/Escaping war in his homeland.
【52题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Later, I asked the manager why my friend was turned down. The manager thought that his English was not good enough for the position, but I suggested that my friend will be a good choice for the company since I could train him.(后来,我问经理为什么我的朋友被拒绝了。经理认为他的英语不够好,不适合这个职位,但我建议我的朋友是公司的好人选,因为我可以培训他。)”可知,经理认为这个年轻人的英语不好,不能胜任这个职位,所以拒绝了他。故答案为Because his English was not good enough./ Because he was weak in English.
【53题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“The manager thought that his English was not good enough for the position, but I suggested that my friend will be a good choice for the company since I could train him. (经理认为他的英语不够好,不适合这个职位,但我建议我的朋友是公司的好人选,因为我可以培训他。)”和“After a week’s training, he was employed and was happy with his position.(经过一周的培训,他被录用了,并对自己的职位感到满意。)”可知,作者表示自己会培训这个年轻人,所以他会适合这份工作,于是在接受培训一周后,他得到了这份工作,所以这个年轻人在作者的帮助培训下得到了这份工作。故答案为The author helped train him for the job.
【54题详解】
考查词义理解。根据画线词前的“The smile of appreciation from this man continues to”和画线词后的“me to give”可知,这个男人感激的微笑让作者继续去付出,由此可推测出,男人的感激给了作者动力,鼓励作者继续对别人付出,impel意为“激励,促使”,相当于motivate/encourage/inspire。故填Motivate/ Encourage/Inspire.
【55题详解】
考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“The smile of appreciation from this man continues to impel me to give, which is a very happy and enjoyable process, during which I also receive some unexpected things, such as help, prize, flowers, love and so on.(这个男人感激的微笑继续激励我去付出,这是一个非常快乐和愉悦的过程,在这个过程中,我也得到了一些意想不到的东西,比如帮助、奖品、鲜花、爱等等。)”可知,作者在继续付出的过程中,也收获了一些意想不到的美好事物,由此可以测出,付出也是收获,乐于付出的人也会从别人身上得到一些东西。故答案为Giving is also receiving. If you are a person who likes to give and help, then you will be also a person who often receives something from others.

【答案】Dear Chris,
I’m glad to receive your email asking about my view on success. People hold different ideas, as the three pictures show.
Some take career success and wealth as success, like the businessmen in the first picture. Others value a warm family most, which is shown by the walking family in the second photo. For the man crossing rough woods in the third picture, success means overcoming difficulties.
For me, true success is constant self-improvement. The reason is that life is a long journey instead of a single destination. To reach it, I will keep studying hard, bravely face challenges and cherish my family to maintain warm relationships.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Jin

Earlier this year, I was looking for part-time work. Moonmilk, a cake and ice cream shop nearby, was hiring, so I went in for a trial shift. I practiced scooping ice cream for 20 minutes and talked to the manager for 40 minutes about our favorite pizza spots. I immediately knew this place was special. While I originally just set out to earn some extra money during the summer, the bonds and memories I made there turned out to be more valuable than any paycheck.
Once, a man who works for the union of the local movie theater came in to place an order. He wanted a cake to celebrate a victory he’d had in stopping the theater from being kicked out by its landlord. Moonmilk’s owner was touched by the story and refused payment for the cake. Later, the union leader – so moved by the gesture – delivered free movie tickets to Moonmilk staff.
The older women customers are among my favorites. Their concern is disarming; they often wonder if I’m okay and tell me I look tired. One regular, always alone and smiling, is kind and generous, ordering methodically and always declaring we have the best ice cream in the city.
There’s also the guy who comes in frequently to ask if we have the chocolate orange flavor – that we only ever have at Christmas. I always have to say no, but his persistence brings me joy, especially on days when I’m tired.
As with any job, there are unpleasant moments. My wrist (手腕) often hurts from repeatedly scooping out ice cream, and it’s always annoying when a group of people come in and take way too long to order, holding up all the others waiting.
In the fall, my full-time job’s schedule becomes more demanding and I know I’ll have to reduce my shifts. I’ll miss the busyness of the summer season and will run into my favorite customers less often. The winter months are long and the owner has spoken about days when only three people come in.
But my experience working at this popular spot has helped me feel more connected to my local community. The interactions and connections I’ve made will keep me going until at least next summer. Hopefully, the orange chocolate ice cream has returned by then.
41. What initially drew the author to work at Moonmilk?
A. A love for cake and ice cream.
B. The chance to earn extra money.
C. A personal connection to the shop.
D. The manager’s engaging personality.
42. What does the underlined word “disarming” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Heartwarming. B. Surprising.
C. Distracting. D. Embarrassing.
43. How does the author feel about working fewer shifts in the winter?
A. Eager. B. Relieved.
C. Disappointed. D. Anxious.
44. What lasting effect did the job at Moonmilk have on the author?
A. A renewed sense of purpose. B. Improved interpersonal skills.
C. A greater sense of belonging. D. A strengthened sense of duty.
45. Why does the author write this passage?
A. To describe the daily routine at Moonmilk.
B. To explain how to handle difficult customers.
C. To share a meaningful experience that changed her.
D. To advertise Moonmilk as a great workplace for her.
C
E-books have changed the way many people read for pleasure. Now, online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and some teachers teach. More than 175,000 students attend the public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia. This school year, middle schools changed from printed to e-textbooks in their social studies classes.
Peter Norman, an officer of school, says, “Publishers can quickly update (更新) e-textbooks with the latest information. Digital books also cost less than printed textbooks. We actually have bought all of the online textbooks for our students for just under six million dollars.”
Social studies teacher Michael Bambara says the e-book he uses in his government class is better than a printed textbook. He likes the way it has materials for students with different levels of reading skills. He says, “Particularly this book, which I use in government, has differentiated reading levels. So a person can individualize their learning and I can individualize their instruction.”
But the students also need the Internet when they are not at school. About ten percent of students in Fairfax County do not go online at home. Stephen Castillo is one of them. He says, “Pretty much I go to the library.” Public libraries in the county have free Internet. Middle school student Slieman Hakim says, “My family has to share a single computer at home. So I come here to do my homework.”
Other school systems in the area are also considering online textbooks. In Prince George’s county, sixty percent of students go online at home. Curriculum Director Gladys Whitehead says an e-book test project is being planned. She says, “Next year we’ll just have a pilot (试点项目) with probably one classroom and one subject area, so that we can see what problems will come up.”

I had been working for a company in Australia for more than ten years. I had just found a better job and I knew that the manager would be disappointed when I was leaving. I recently became friends with a young man who had just migrated to Australia to escape war in his homeland. He was unskilled and was finding life difficult as he was unemployed.
The manager asked me to introduce someone who I thought could do the job just as well as me, so I took this opportunity to arrange an interview for my new friend. However, in the end, he was not offered the job after the interview.
Later, I asked the manager why my friend was turned down. The manager thought that his English was not good enough for the position, but I suggested that my friend will be a good choice for the company since I could train him. I believed that once given the time to learn, he could do the job. After a week’s training, he was employed and was happy with his position.
I knew how the terrible war had forced him to leave his homeland and what price he had paid for doing so. I appreciate being able to live in Australia and believe that this appreciation is best proved by offering acts of kindness to people in need of help. The smile of appreciation from this man continues to impel me to give, which is a very happy and enjoyable process, during which I also receive some unexpected things, such as help, prize, flowers, love and so on.
