The teacher’s kind words B. made C. the nervous student D. more confident 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：请找出以下句子中的宾语补足语：老师亲切的话语让紧张的学生更加自信。在句子“The teacher’s kind words made the nervous student more confident.”中，“The teacher’s kind words”作主语，“made”作谓语动词，“the nervous student”作宾语，形容词短语“more confident”作宾语补足语，用来补充说明宾语的状态，构成“make+宾语+宾补”的结构。 2. Can you imagine ________ as a nurse? A. his working B. him to work C. worked D. work 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：你能想象他作为一名护士工作的情景吗？动词imagine后应接动名词作宾语，即固定搭配imagine doing sth.（想象做某事），当动名词带有自己的逻辑主语时，常用形容词性物主代词或代词宾格，构成动名词的复合结构，即imagine sb’s/sb doing sth.。 3. The unemployment rate in this area ________ from 6% to 5% in the last few years. A. fell B. had fallen C. has fallen D. falls 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：在过去几年里，这个地区的失业率从6%下降到了5%。句中的时间状语“in the last few years”（在过去几年里）常与现在完成时连用，表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响或一直持续到现在。 4. We are looking forward to ________ another chance to try it again. A. giving B. give C. being given D. having given 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们正期待着被给予另一次机会再试一次。固定搭配look forward to意为“期待，盼望”，其中to是介词，其后应接动名词作宾语；句中主语we 与动词give之间为逻辑上的被动关系，表示“被给予机会”，因此需要使用动名词的被动语态 being given。 5. I am sorry you can’t recite these paragraphs, and I ________ that you ________ them by heart. A. think, had learned B. thought, will learn C. thought, had learnt D. had thought, have learned 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：很遗憾你不能背诵这些段落，我原以为你已经把它们背下来了。分析句子可知，第一空表示“我原以为”，是发生在过去的心理活动，应用一般过去时thought；第二空表示“背下来”这一动作发生在“原以为”之前，即“过去的过去”，应用过去完成时had learnt。 6. Great changes ___ in the city, and a lot of factories ___. A. have been taken place, have been set up B. have taken place, have been set up C. have taken place, have set up D. were taken place, were set up 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查时态语态：句意：这个城市发生了许多变化，盖起了许多工厂。分析可知，描述的是现在的结果，所以用现在完成时，take place没有被动语态，set up和factories是被动关系，用被动。故选B。 7. The literary work is so ________! Many readers have made comments ________ it. A. amazed; at B. amazed; on C. amazing; on D. amazing; in 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这部文学作品太令人惊叹了！许多读者对它作出了评论。分析句子可知，第一空修饰主语“The literary work”，表示事物的性质特征，意为“令人惊叹的”，应用-ing结尾的形容词amazing；第二空为固定搭配make comments on，意为“对……发表评论”。 8. As we all know, Spanish is difficult ________. A. to understanding B. to understand C. to be understood D. to have understood 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：众所周知，西班牙语很难懂。本句使用固定句型：主语 + be + adj. + to do，句子的主语Spanish是不定式动作understand的逻辑宾语，动词不定式使用主动形式表示被动意义，所以空处应使用动词不定式的主动形式to understand。 9. At this time tomorrow he ________ his homework. A. will do B. will be doing C. is going to do D. is to do 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：明天的这个时候他将正在做作业。句中的时间状语“At this time tomorrow”（明天的这个时候）表示在将来某一特定时刻正在进行的动作，因此谓语动词需要使用将来进行时，其基本结构为“will be doing”。 10. Most environmental problems exist because adequate measures for preventing them ________ taken in the past. A. from being B. not being C. had not been D. were not 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：大多数环境问题之所以存在，是因为过去没有采取适当的预防措施。because引导的原因状语从句中，主语是adequate measures，for preventing them是修饰主语的后置定语，主语与动词take之间是被动关系，且根据时间状语“in the past”可知，此处描述的是过去发生的事情，应使用一般过去时的被动语态，即were taken，其否定形式为were not taken。 11. Holding a positive attitude ________ life can give you strength when you are in trouble. A. towards B. on C. with D. against 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：对生活保持积极的态度可以在你遇到困难时给你力量。attitude towards为固定搭配，意为“对……的态度”，此处表示“对生活的态度”。 III.

Jada sighed, slowly moved from the lockers where she had been leaning, and headed down the hall to her chemistry class. Honors Chemistry! Jada couldn’t believe that her mom was making her take the class because Jada’s counselor had said that she had real talent in science. Jada had to admit that she liked science and that last year’s class was a breeze, but come on Honors Chemistry? She wouldn’t know anyone in the class, and they probably wouldn’t know anyone like her. The good thing about being late is that it shortened the period a bit. The bad thing is that it made her seem like she was making a grand entrance. To make matters worse, the only two seats left in class were at the lab table at the very front of the room. Jada held her breath and walked in. Everyone’s eyes were on her. She just knew it. They were staring at her coal black hair (freshly dyed) , her black lipstick, her black fingernail polish, and her thrift-store black leather jacket. All she saw were polo shirts and khaki pants. This can’t get any worse, Jada thought. But at least she didn’t get shouted at by the teacher. He was too busy talking to a new kid. A HUGE new kid, maybe 6'4". He had to weigh at least 250 pounds. A football player, probably. She hated football players. They thought they were so great. That group of jocks that hung out by the cafeteria always made fun of her. The new kid made his way over to her table with his head down. He had to squeeze into the seat, and his legs wouldn’t fit under the lab table. He shot Jada a glance and turned red. Mr. Martin, the teacher, began class with this announcement: Okay, everyone. I know most of you know each other from last year’s Honors Physical Science class. Jada sighed loudly. “But just take a minute and introduce yourself to the person sitting at your table. You’ll be partners. You’ll be working closely together all year.” Jada rolled her eyes and stared straight ahead. Then she heard a surprisingly soft voice from next to her. “Hi. I’m Robert. I’m new here.” 45. What can be learned about Jada from the first two paragraphs? A. She thought this year’s chemistry class would be a breeze. B. She wasn’t willing to take the Honors Chemistry class. C. She was angry that her mother made her go to school D. She found she didn’t like science as she thought. 46. The writer described Jada’s appearance in paragraph 4 in order to ______. A. reveal how different she was from her classmates B. explain why she was late for school that morning. C. give readers a general impression of science students. D. imply that she felt sorry for making a grand entrance 47. In paragraph 5, the phrase “that group of jocks” refers to ______. A. the new kid B. Jada’s classmates C. Jada’s teacher D. football players 48. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of the new kid? A. He was rude. B. He liked sports. C. He was shy. D. He looked sad. 【答案】45. B 46. D 47. D 48. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jada第一次上荣誉化学课迟到的经历。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The bell rang. Jada sighed, slowly moved from the lockers where she had been leaning, and headed down the hall to her chemistry class. Honors Chemistry! Jada couldn’t believe that her mom was making her take the class because Jada’s counselor had said that she had real talent in science. (铃响了。Jada叹了口气，慢慢地从她一直靠着的储物柜旁走出来，沿着大厅去上化学课。荣誉化学！Jada不敢相信她妈妈让她上课，因为Jada的辅导员说她有真正的科学天赋)”和第二段“Jada had to admit that she liked science and that last year’s class was a breeze, but come on Honors Chemistry? She wouldn’t know anyone in the class, and they probably wouldn’t know anyone like her. (Jada不得不承认她喜欢科学，去年的课程轻而易举，但是，荣誉化学？她不会认识班上的任何人，他们可能也不会认识像她这样的人)”可知，Jada确实喜欢化学课，但她不想去上荣誉化学课，因为她不认识班上的同学。故选B项。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第二三句“The bad thing is that it made her seem like she was making a grand entrance.

(Jada屏住呼吸，走了进来。每个人都盯着她。她只是知道这一点。他们盯着她的煤黑头发（新鲜染色）、黑色口红、黑色指甲油和她旧货店的黑色皮夹克。她看到的只是马球衫和卡其色裤子)”可知，因为迟到的关系，她受到了所有同学的瞩目，而她也只能屏住呼吸一直向前走到前排的空位坐下，第四段的外貌描写凸显了这一过程Jada的紧张和因为迟到受到关注的抱歉。故选D项。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“She hated football players. They thought they were so great.”（她讨厌足球运动员。他们觉得自己很了不起）以及该词组所在的句子“That group of jocks that hung out by the cafeteria always made fun of her.”（在自助餐厅附近闲逛的That group of jocks总是取笑她）”可知，that group of jocks指代前文的“football players”。故选D项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“The new kid made his way over to her table with his head down.

It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity. Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is—and the volume. In a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta from the College of Business at Illinois and his colleagues tested people's creativity while exposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises—such as coffee-shop chatter and construction-site drilling—at different volumes. They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low. Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity. This makes sense for a couple of reasons, says psychologist Dr Nick Perham, at Cardiff Metropolitan University in the UK, who studies the effect of sounds on learning but was not involved in the study. Firstly, he says, sounds that are most disturbing tend to be very variable. A general hum(嗡嗡声)in the background suggests a steady-state sound with not much variation. "So there's not much there to capture your attention- nothing disturbing the subjects," he says. At the same time, the background noise might cause the subjects to be in a slightly heightened state of arousal(觉醒), says Perham. "Medium arousal is best for good performance. So it might be that a general hum in the background gives an ideal level of arousal. " With that in mind, Perham suggests there may be some benefits to playing music or other sounds in an art class or other situations where creativity is key. Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class. Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can improve IQ in tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. While the evidence actually suggests it's a stretch to say classical music improves brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Perham, who has done his own studies on the phenomenon. The key appears to be that you enjoy what you're hearing. "If you like the music or you like the sound—even listening to a Stephen King novel -then you did better. It didn't matter about the music," he says. 52. Which of the following is true according to the studies by Ravi Mehta and Nick Perham? A. It's better not to expose people to any background noise while at work. B. Construction-site drilling should be forbidden where there is a school. C. Noises will harm people's health however low their volumes are. D. A certain level of noise may do good to people's creativity. 53. According to Dr Nick Perham, it can be inferred that in an art class, teachers had better________. A. keep the classroom quiet B. play music at a steady and medium volume C. broadcast classical music D. vary the volume of the music constantly 54. In the last paragraph, the underlined part "it's a stretch" is used to________. A. prove the usefulness of pleasing sounds B. confirm the belief of Mozart effect C. challenge the importance of soft music D. cast doubt on the power of music in raising IQ 55. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage? A. Learning Power: Noise and Music Work B. Noise Meeting Music: A Blessing? C. Noise or Music: Creativity in Danger D. Brainpower: More Music and Less Noise 【答案】52. D 53. B 54. D 55. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了声音可以对学习，表现力和创造力产生影响，主要讲述噪音和创造力的关系。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low.”（他们发现，当背景噪音处于中等水平时，人们比音量较低时更有创造力。）可知，一定程度的噪音可能对人们的创造力有好处。故选D。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Medium arousal is best for good performance.”（佩姆说中等程度的唤醒是最好的表现。）及“With that in mind, Perham suggests there may be some benefits to playing music or other sounds in an art class or other situations where creativity is key.”（考虑到这一点，佩姆建议，在艺术课或其他创造力是关键的情况下，播放音乐或其他声音可能有一些好处。）可以推知，在艺术课上老师播放音乐或其他声音可能有一些好处。故选B。 【54题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分的前一句“Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can improve IQ in tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. ”（许多人的灵感来自于这样一种信念∶听音乐可以提高任务智商， 即所谓的莫扎特效应），同时结合划线处后“researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well”（但研究人员确实认为，在完成任务前发出悦耳的声音有时能提升你的情绪，帮助你表现出色）可以推知，划线部分所在句子的意思为“尽管这个证据表明怀疑音乐在提高智商方面的力量”，即划线部分意为“怀疑音乐在提高智商方面的力量”。故选D。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。通过第一段“Was your school noisy or peaceful?It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity.”（你的学校是嘈杂的还是平静的 ?这似乎不重要，但越来越多的研究表明，声音可以对学习、表现和创造力产生影响）；第三段中“Medium arousal is best for good performance.So it might be ...where creativity is key.”（中等唤醒是最好的表现。 因此， 可能是背景中的一般嗡喻嗡声给出了理想的唤醒水平，考虑到这—点，佩姆建议，在艺术课或其他创造性是关键的情况下，演奏音乐或其他声音可能有—些好处。） 可知，本文讲述的是噪音与音乐创作之间的联系。“音乐碰上噪音，会带来好处吗？”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。 Section C (4分) Directions: Read the passage carefully.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A The bell rang. Jada sighed, slowly moved from the lockers where she had been leaning, and headed down the hall to her chemistry class. Honors Chemistry! Jada couldn’t believe that her mom was making her take the class because Jada’s counselor had said that she had real talent in science. Jada had to admit that she liked science and that last year’s class was a breeze, but come on Honors Chemistry? She wouldn’t know anyone in the class, and they probably wouldn’t know anyone like her. The good thing about being late is that it shortened the period a bit. The bad thing is that it made her seem like she was making a grand entrance. To make matters worse, the only two seats left in class were at the lab table at the very front of the room. Jada held her breath and walked in. Everyone’s eyes were on her. She just knew it. They were staring at her coal black hair (freshly dyed) , her black lipstick, her black fingernail polish, and her thrift-store black leather jacket. All she saw were polo shirts and khaki pants. This can’t get any worse, Jada thought. But at least she didn’t get shouted at by the teacher. He was too busy talking to a new kid. A HUGE new kid, maybe 6'4". He had to weigh at least 250 pounds. A football player, probably. She hated football players. They thought they were so great. That group of jocks that hung out by the cafeteria always made fun of her. The new kid made his way over to her table with his head down. He had to squeeze into the seat, and his legs wouldn’t fit under the lab table. He shot Jada a glance and turned red. Mr. Martin, the teacher, began class with this announcement: Okay, everyone. I know most of you know each other from last year’s Honors Physical Science class. Jada sighed loudly. “But just take a minute and introduce yourself to the person sitting at your table. You’ll be partners. You’ll be working closely together all year.” Jada rolled her eyes and stared straight ahead. Then she heard a surprisingly soft voice from next to her. “Hi. I’m Robert. I’m new here.” 45. What can be learned about Jada from the first two paragraphs? A. She thought this year’s chemistry class would be a breeze. B. She wasn’t willing to take the Honors Chemistry class. C. She was angry that her mother made her go to school D. She found she didn’t like science as she thought. 46. The writer described Jada’s appearance in paragraph 4 in order to ______. A. reveal how different she was from her classmates B. explain why she was late for school that morning. C. give readers a general impression of science students. D. imply that she felt sorry for making a grand entrance 47. In paragraph 5, the phrase “that group of jocks” refers to ______. A. the new kid B. Jada’s classmates C. Jada’s teacher D. football players 48. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of the new kid? A. He was rude. B. He liked sports. C. He was shy. D. He looked sad.

C Was your school noisy or peaceful? It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity. Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is—and the volume. In a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta from the College of Business at Illinois and his colleagues tested people's creativity while exposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises—such as coffee-shop chatter and construction-site drilling—at different volumes. They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low. Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity. This makes sense for a couple of reasons, says psychologist Dr Nick Perham, at Cardiff Metropolitan University in the UK, who studies the effect of sounds on learning but was not involved in the study. Firstly, he says, sounds that are most disturbing tend to be very variable. A general hum(嗡嗡声)in the background suggests a steady-state sound with not much variation. "So there's not much there to capture your attention- nothing disturbing the subjects," he says. At the same time, the background noise might cause the subjects to be in a slightly heightened state of arousal(觉醒), says Perham. "Medium arousal is best for good performance. So it might be that a general hum in the background gives an ideal level of arousal. " With that in mind, Perham suggests there may be some benefits to playing music or other sounds in an art class or other situations where creativity is key. Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class. Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can improve IQ in tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. While the evidence actually suggests it's a stretch to say classical music improves brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Perham, who has done his own studies on the phenomenon. The key appears to be that you enjoy what you're hearing. "If you like the music or you like the sound—even listening to a Stephen King novel -then you did better. It didn't matter about the music," he says. 52. Which of the following is true according to the studies by Ravi Mehta and Nick Perham? A. It's better not to expose people to any background noise while at work. B. Construction-site drilling should be forbidden where there is a school. C. Noises will harm people's health however low their volumes are. D. A certain level of noise may do good to people's creativity. 53. According to Dr Nick Perham, it can be inferred that in an art class, teachers had better________. A. keep the classroom quiet B. play music at a steady and medium volume C. broadcast classical music D. vary the volume of the music constantly 54. In the last paragraph, the underlined part "it's a stretch" is used to________. A. prove the usefulness of pleasing sounds B. confirm the belief of Mozart effect C. challenge the importance of soft music D. cast doubt on the power of music in raising IQ 55. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage? A. Learning Power: Noise and Music Work B. Noise Meeting Music: A Blessing? C. Noise or Music: Creativity in Danger D. Brainpower: More Music and Less Noise Section C (4分) Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A Garden That’s Just Right for You Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum (总和) of its parts? ___56___. But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process. ● ___57___ Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers (肥料). ___58___. However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years. ● Recall (回忆) your childhood memories Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important. It’s our experience of the garden that matters — how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. ___59___. Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun. A. Know why you garden B. It’s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers C.
