--No, and he is not mentioned in my history book at all. He seems ______________.

C. to have completely forgotten D. completely forgetting
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:—你听说过一个名叫Chester A. Arthur的美国总统吗?--没有,我的历史书里根本没有提及过他。他似乎已被彻底地遗忘。sb./sth. seems to do 是固定句式,不定式所表示的动作又发生在主句谓语动词所表示的动作之前,因此,应该用不定式的完成体。根据原句的意思,动词forget与逻辑主语he是被动关系,故要用被动语态的完成时形式to have been completely forgotten。
15. —Did you hear that Li Hua was robbed during his recent trip to South Africa?
—Yes,not only his money,but he was nearly killed.
A. he lost B. did he lose
C. he had lost D. was he lost
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:—你听说在最近去南非的旅行中李华被抢劫的事情了吗?—是的,他不仅丢了钱,而且差点丢了命。当否定词或者半否定词放在句首的时候,后面的主句使用部分倒装的形式。本句中的not only是否定词,所以后面使用部分倒装,lose是谓语动词,根据下文谓语was killed可知,用一般过去时,且lose与主语he是主动关系,助动词用did。

三. 阅读理解(每小题2分,共26分)
A
Gestures are the silent language of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.
In the US, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal discussion. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet each other with a hug .
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about 2.5 feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me."
Americans like to look at the other in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. When you stare at someone, however, it is not polite.
For Americans, thumbs-up means “yes”, “very good” or “well done”. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, one might put up one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指). Americans shake their index fingers at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing(困惑的). If you don't know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.
36. When you shake hands with an American, you should _______ .
A. shake his / her hand firmly B. put your hands on his / her shoulder
C. shake his / her hand gently D. give him / her a hug afterward
37. In the US, people usually _______ if you stand too close to them.
A. feel friendly B. get uncomfortable
C. keep still D. hit you angrily
38. If you talk with an American friend, it'’s polite to _______ .
A. stare at him / her B. look at the ground
C. look at him / her in the eyes D. look here and there
39. When an American gives you the thumbs-up, he, in fact _______ .
A. means that you are number one B. wants to please you
C. needs to call a waiter D. expresses his satisfaction to you
40. What's the main idea of this passage?
A. People greet each other by shaking hands in America.
B. Every country has their own gestures.
C. Learning a culture's body language is very important and necessary.
D. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger.
【答案】36. A 37. B 38. C 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了相同的肢体语言在不同文化背景的国家有不同的意义,我们要了解其代表的不同意义,才能顺利的和他人交流。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the US, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal discussion. The handshake must be firm.”(在美国,人们在正式的讨论中互相握手打招呼。握手一定要有力。)可知,当你和美国人握手时,你应该握手要有力。故选A项。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close.”(当一个人站得太近时,美国人会感到不舒服。)可知,在美国,如果你站得太近,人们通常会感到不舒服。故选B项。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Americans like to look at the other in the eyes when they are talking.”(美国人喜欢在谈话时看着对方的眼睛。)可知,如果你和一个美国朋友说话,看他/她的眼睛是礼貌的。故选C项。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“For Americans, thumbs-up means “yes”, “very good” or “well done”.”(对美国人来说,竖起大拇指表示“是”、“非常好”或“做得好”。)可知,当一个美国人对你竖起大拇指时,他实际上是在向你表达他的满意。故选D项。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Gestures are the silent language of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.”(手势是每种文化无声的语言。我们用手指或移动身体的另一部分来表达我们想说的话。了解每个国家的肢体语言是很重要的,否则我们可能会被误解。)可知,文章主要讲的是学习一种文化的肢体语言是非常重要和必要的。故选C项。
B
The blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s. After the Civil War, the slaves were free but life was still not easy. They had to find new work. In the South, work camps were formed. Black people from these camps worked on farms and built up the Mississippi River banks. During the week, the people worked long and hard. They often lived alone, without their families, far from home. On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Traveling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.
If you have the blues, it means you feel very sad. But blues songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.
Early blues singers often had very interesting names like Blind Lemon Jefferson and Howlin Wolf. Sometimes, the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.
The blues began in the country in the south. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W.C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous song of all “The St. Louis blues”.
41. This passage is mainly concerned with ________.
A. the birth of American country music B. the birth of Jazz music
C. the birth of American popular music D. the birth of the blues
42. Blues songs were often about ________.
A. the hard life of black people B. the lonely life of black people
C. the happy and funny life of black people D. the hard life of slaves
43. In the early 1900s, black people often got together at some drinking places on weekends mainly because ________.
A. they had found new work B. they had worked long and hard during weekdays
C. they often lived alone, without their families D. they were good at singing and dancing
44. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. After the Civil war, most black people found jobs in factories.
B. No blues songs were about life in the cities.
C. The blues was popular only in the country.
D. The blues was born in the country in the south.

【导语】文章主要介绍了蓝调音乐的诞生起源、特点、相关创作形式以及传播发展的历程。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章首段第一句“The blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s. (蓝调音乐于20世纪初诞生于密西西比河三角洲。)”结合全文内容都围绕蓝调的诞生背景、发展展开,可推知文章核心主题是蓝调音乐的诞生。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“After the Civil War, the slaves were free but life was still not easy. They had to find new work. In the South, work camps were formed. Black people from these camps worked on farms and built up the Mississippi River banks. During the week, the people worked long and hard. They often lived alone, without their families, far from home. On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Traveling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues. (内战结束后,奴隶获得自由,但生活依旧艰难。他们不得不寻找新工作。南方形成了很多务工营地。营地的黑人在农场劳作,修筑密西西比河河堤。工作日,人们长时间辛苦劳作。他们常常独自生活,远离家人故土。周末,工人们会聚集在野餐地或是酒馆。背着吉他的流浪黑人乐手为他们表演。这些乐手们演唱关于工人们艰难生活的歌曲,这些歌曲就被称为蓝调。)”可知,这里的工人指内战后获得自由的黑人,蓝调歌曲通常围绕黑人的艰苦生活展开。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“They often lived alone, without their families, far from home. On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. (他们常常独自生活,远离家人故土。周末,工人们会聚集在野餐地或是酒馆。)”可推知,他们周末聚集的主要原因是独自生活、没有家人陪伴。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The blues began in the country in the south. (蓝调音乐起源于南方的乡村地区。)”可知,蓝调诞生于南方的乡村这一表述正确。

The party went very good and we all had a good time.
Nearly all the people came who were inviting. Jane
couldn’t come because she went to Beijing. Tom was
also away. He had gone to see his parents in country.
Mary’s friend brought their instruments and played
live music as everyone could dance. Franco drank too
much more and fell over when he was dancing with
Ann, it made everyone laugh. Tim told everyone he’d
go to abroad soon, and Jack met Steve and spent all
evening talked to him. All of us enjoyed ourselves.

____50____
____51____
____52____
____53____
____54____
____55____
____56____
____57____
____58____
【答案】49. good→well
50. inviting→invited
51. √ 52. country前加the
53. friend→friends
54. as→so 55. 去掉more
56. it→which
57. 去掉to 58. talked→talking
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述一场派对的开展情况,介绍到场、缺席的人员以及派对上发生的种种趣事。
【49题详解】
考查副词。句意:这场派对进行得十分顺利,我们所有人都玩得很开心。修饰动词went需要用副词,good是形容词,对应的副词形式是well。
【50题详解】
考查语态。句意:几乎所有收到邀请的人都来了。此处表示“被邀请的人”,people和invite是被动关系,要用过去分词invited构成一般过去时的被动语态。
【51题详解】
正确。
【52题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他去乡下看望父母了。固定搭配in the country表示“在乡下”,需要加定冠词the。
【53题详解】
考查名词。句意:玛丽的朋友们带上乐器,演奏现场音乐,好让大家可以跳舞。后文的their instruments表明对应的主语是复数,friend要用复数形式。
【54题详解】
考查连词。句意:玛丽的朋友们带上乐器,演奏现场音乐,好让大家可以跳舞。此处表结果“因此所有人都可以跟着跳舞”,as表原因,so用来引出结果符合逻辑。
【55题详解】
考查副词。句意:佛朗哥喝得太多,在和安跳舞的时候摔倒了,这把大家都逗笑了。此处没有比较含义,too much本身可以修饰动词drank表示“喝太多”,多余的比较级more要删去。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:佛朗哥喝得太多,在和安跳舞的时候摔倒了,这把大家都逗笑了。这是非限制性定语从句,要用关系代词which指代前面整件事,在从句中作主语,不能用代词it直接连接两个分句。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:蒂姆告诉所有人他很快就要出国,杰克遇见了史蒂夫,整晚都在和他交谈。abroad是副词,固定搭配go abroad表示“出国”,前面不需要加介词to。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:蒂姆告诉所有人他很快就要出国,杰克遇见了史蒂夫,整晚都在和他交谈。固定搭配spend time (in) doing sth.表示“花费时间做某事”,所以talk要变为动名词形式talking。

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
What does beauty really mean? Everybody has his own definition.
Some students think that a nice face is like a letter of recommendation. Good appearance often makes a big difference in social communication, competition, finding jobs and so on.
Other students have different opinions. They hold the idea that good appearance is not everything. A beautiful person is not the one with good looks, but the one with a kind and generous heart.
Actually, as is known to all, the standard of beauty changes with different societies, cultures and nations. Even if you don’t have a nice face, you still can be attractive if you are a person with a kind heart and great wisdom.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生根据以“What is the beauty standard?”为主题的学生讨论的结果写一份总结材料,并谈谈自己的看法。
【详解】1. 词汇积累
找工作:find jobs→hunt for jobs
持有:have→possess
变化:change→vary/transform
善良的:kind→benevolent
2. 句式拓展
同义句转换
原句:Good appearance often makes a big difference in social communication, competition, finding jobs and so on.
拓展句:Not only does good appearance often make a big difference in social communication and competition, but it also does so in finding jobs and so on.

【高分句型2】Actually, as is known to all, the standard of beauty changes with different societies, cultures and nations. (运用了as引导的非限制性定语从句)

三. 阅读理解(每小题2分,共26分)
A
Gestures are the silent language of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.
In the US, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal discussion. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet each other with a hug .
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about 2.5 feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me."
Americans like to look at the other in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. When you stare at someone, however, it is not polite.
For Americans, thumbs-up means “yes”, “very good” or “well done”. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, one might put up one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指). Americans shake their index fingers at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing(困惑的). If you don't know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.
36. When you shake hands with an American, you should _______ .
A. shake his / her hand firmly B. put your hands on his / her shoulder
C. shake his / her hand gently D. give him / her a hug afterward
37. In the US, people usually _______ if you stand too close to them.
A. feel friendly B. get uncomfortable
C. keep still D. hit you angrily
38. If you talk with an American friend, it'’s polite to _______ .
A. stare at him / her B. look at the ground
C. look at him / her in the eyes D. look here and there
39. When an American gives you the thumbs-up, he, in fact _______ .
A. means that you are number one B. wants to please you
C. needs to call a waiter D. expresses his satisfaction to you
40. What's the main idea of this passage?
A. People greet each other by shaking hands in America.
B. Every country has their own gestures.
C. Learning a culture's body language is very important and necessary.
D. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger.
B
The blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s. After the Civil War, the slaves were free but life was still not easy. They had to find new work. In the South, work camps were formed. Black people from these camps worked on farms and built up the Mississippi River banks. During the week, the people worked long and hard. They often lived alone, without their families, far from home. On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Traveling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.
If you have the blues, it means you feel very sad. But blues songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.
Early blues singers often had very interesting names like Blind Lemon Jefferson and Howlin Wolf. Sometimes, the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.
The blues began in the country in the south. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W.C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous song of all “The St. Louis blues”.
41. This passage is mainly concerned with ________.
A. the birth of American country music B. the birth of Jazz music
C. the birth of American popular music D. the birth of the blues
42. Blues songs were often about ________.
A. the hard life of black people B. the lonely life of black people
C. the happy and funny life of black people D. the hard life of slaves
43. In the early 1900s, black people often got together at some drinking places on weekends mainly because ________.
A. they had found new work B. they had worked long and hard during weekdays
C. they often lived alone, without their families D. they were good at singing and dancing
44. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. After the Civil war, most black people found jobs in factories.
B. No blues songs were about life in the cities.
C. The blues was popular only in the country.
D. The blues was born in the country in the south.
