21. The Smiths don’t usually stay at hotels, but last summer they spent a few days at a very
nice hotel by ________ sea.
A. /; a B. the; the C. /; the D. the; a
【答案】C
第2页 | 共16页【解析】考查冠词解析：hotel为复数，不是特指，前不会用定冠词the来修饰；江，河，
湖，海前要
加定冠词。by the sea: 在海边(在海岸上)，这里有特指, by sea 则是表示使用海上交通工具：
乘船, 由海路by sea意为“乘船，由海路”句意：史密斯夫妇通常不住宾馆，但是去年夏
天他们在海边的一个非常不错的宾馆里住了几天。
22. We have bought so much food now that Suzie won’t be with us for dinner.
A. may not B. needn’t C. can’t D. mustn’t
23. My brother would like to buy a good watch but was available from that shop.
A. nothing B. none C. no one D. neither
【答案】B
【解析】考查不定代词。这里要注意是在那家店里没有买到，就是说店里的任何一块表都
不可用的，有一个特定的范围，用none。nothing指物，什么都不是；none既可指人也可
指物，强调“每一个”；no one只能指人；neither表两者都不，故此题选B。句意：我哥
哥想买一块好表，但是在那家店里任何一块都没有用。
24. I’ve the habit of calling in on my grandparents on my way home from school.
A. come into B. gone into C. got into D. run into
25. It suddenly occurred to him he had left his keys in the office.
A. whether B. where C. which D. that
【答案】D
【解析】考查名词性从句。此句是occur to sb.(想到; 想起)的典型句式，是学习occur
单词的一个重点方面。It为形式主语，that这里是做主语从句的连接词。句意：他突然想
起他把钥匙忘在办公室了。
26.—Look! Somebody the sofa.
—Well, it wasn’t me. I didn’t do it.
A. is cleaning B. was cleaning C. has cleaned D. had cleaned
【答案】C
【解析】考查动词时态。从后面的回答可以看出事情已经完成了，前面一句是着重谈对
现在的影响，用现在完成时态。句意：“看，有人已经清理了沙发。”“—嗯，不是我，
我没有做。”
27. —Have you paid? What’s my share of the bill?
[来源:学*科*网Z*X*X*K]
— . It wasn’t very much.
第3页 | 共16页A. Don’t worry about it. B. It’s my share
C. None of your business. D. It’s up to you.

的.”选项
A:不用担心。选项B：这是我的那份。C：不管你的事。D：这取决于你。
28. By 16:30, was almost closing time, nearly all the paintings had been sold.
A. which B. when C. what D. that
[来源:学。科。网]
29. You’d better write down the phone number of that restaurant for future .
A. purpose B. reference C. progress D. memory
【答案】B
【解析】考查名词辨析。记下电话号码是以备日后参考，for future reference是字典
中的典型表达。句意：你最好写下这个餐馆的号码以便日后参考用。
30. We were all agreed that the cottage would a perfect holiday home for the family.
A. make B. turn C. take D. have
【答案】A
【解析】考查动词辨析。通过句意可知cottage会“成为”这家人很完美的假日家园。
故答案为A。B答案是turn…into..的搭配，意为将“……转变为……”C和D项答案和主
语不搭。句意：我们一致同意，这个小舍将会给我们的家庭营造一个完美的假日家园。
31. You can borrow my car you promise not to drive too fast.
A. unless B. even if C. in case D. as long as
32. Never before seen anybody who can play tennis as well as Robert.
A. had she B. she had C. has she D. she has
【答案】C
【解析】考查特殊句式。句首有关键词Never，否定词提前到句首，句子部分倒装。排
除B,D。再根据句子时态，应用现在完成时，故选C项。句意：她从来都没有看到过谁打
网球和Robert一样好的。
33. Having finished her project, she was invited by the school to the new students.
A. speaking B. having spoken C. to speak D. to have spoken
【答案】C
【解析】考查非谓语动词。这里注意invite的动词用法：invite sb. to do sth.,其被动式
sb. be invited to do sth.虽然受到了邀请，但是讲话还没有发生，故用动词不定式一般式
表示将来。句意：完成了她的工程后，她受那所学校之邀对新生讲话。
34. He seems to be giving the impression that he didn’t enjoy himself in Paris. , he had a
第4页 | 共16页wonderful time.
A. Above all B. What’s more C. As a result D. On the

A
Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was
determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his
第7页 | 共16页brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.
“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer.” Jason
said, “He told us not to touch it.”
“He won’t find out.” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”
Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult
to control and this new computer really puzzled him.
“It was a strange-looking machine –one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he
worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, “so don’t touch it under any
circumstances.” But his warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further
thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the
screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the
center of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”
“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to
work. He’s really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen:
“ENTER NAMES
VOYAGER 1: …
VOYAGER 2: …”
Mark’s fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.
“INPUT ACCEPTED. START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED（自
动回收程序已启动）.”
The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.
“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled, reaching for the power switch. He was really
frightened.
But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the
computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow (光芒), until they themselves seemed to be
glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer
there. On the screen, the letters changed.
“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL. DESTINATION: MARS. RETRIEVE DATE: 2025.”
本文为科幻小说。文章讲述兄弟二人禁不住对父亲带回家的新型电脑的诱惑，最终被穿越
的一个小故事，文章对细节的描写很到位，题目也自然是针对这些因素了。

A. He wanted to take a voyage. B. He wanted to practice his skill
C. He was so much attracted by it. D. He was eager to do an experiment.

A Book Review—The Snake-Stone by Berlie Doherty
The setting: Urban England (the cities), but also rural England (the countryside) including remote
English villages.
The theme: The main theme is a teenage research of self-discovery, in this case the search for a
mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on
with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries.
As the book moves to a close, James’ swimming coach says to him: “You are not like a kid
obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”
The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable
life with his foster parents (养父母). Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to
find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James’ parents, his diving
instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.
The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James’ foster parents are away in
London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil,
“the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written: “Take good
第9页 | 共16页care of Sammie. It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.
The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from
his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be
found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally
meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left
him at a stranger’s door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a
feeling of completeness. As a journey of self-discovery The Snake-Stone also provides its readers
with a happy ending. Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents, “I was home.”

James decides to find his birth mother.而不是去伦敦，James决定去找他的亲生母亲）；

James’s parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on
his journey, are pictured realistically.在The Snack–Stone,当中的其他角色，James的父
第10页 | 共16页母，他的潜水老师，最好的朋友，村民们，在他旅途当中遇见的人，都被描述的很真实。
vividly described.对应着pictured realistically.）；D：故事的转折点发生在英雄遇见自己
亲生母亲之后。（文章中第四段：The turning point in the story comes while James’
foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth
mother.在故事中的转折点发生在James的养父母离开在伦敦的时候，他很想知道他亲生母
亲的身份。）

Big Brothers Big Sisters is based on the simplicity and power of friendship. It is a program which
provides friendship and fun by matching vulnerable young people (ages 7-17) with a volunteer
adult who can be both a role model and a supportive friend.
Volunteer tutors come from all walks of life—married, single, with or without children. Big
Brothers and Big Sisters are not replacement parents or social workers. They are tutors: someone
to trust, to have fun with, to talk and go to when needed.
A Big Sister and Little Sister will generally spend between one and four hours together three or
four times each month for at least twelve months. They enjoy simple activities such as a picnic at
a park, cooking, playing sport or going to a football match. These activities improve the friendship
and help the young person develop positive self-respect, confidence and life direction.
Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations exist throughout the world. It is the large and most well-
known provider of tutor services internationally and has been operating for 25 years.
Emily and Sarah have been matched since 2008. Emily is a 10-year-old girl who has experienced
some difficulties being accepted by her schoolmates at school. “ I was pretty sure there was
something wrong with me.”
Emily’s mum came across Big Brothers Big Sisters and thought it would be of benefit to Emily by
“providing different feedback (反馈) about herself other than just relying on schoolmates to
measure her self-worth.
Sarah wanted to get involved in a volunteer program. “I googled it and found out how to be a part
of it. I thought it would be fun for me to get involved in making time to do something because
sometimes it is all work and no play.”
Big Brothers Big Sisters has been of great benefit and enjoyment to both Emily and Sarah. They
love and look forward to their time together and the partnership has certainly helped Emily be
more comfortable in being the wonderful, happy and unique girl she is!
本文是说明文问题。主要讲述Big brothers Big sisters机构为年轻人带来的改变。
66. What is the aim of Big Brothers Big Sisters?
A. To offer students public services.
B. To help students improve their grades.
第11页 | 共16页C. To organize sport activities for young people.
D. To provide partnership and fun for young people.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解。根据文章第一段第二句“It is a program which provides friendship
and fun by matching vulnerable young people…”可知， “这是一个通过让成人陪伴一些
内心比较脆弱的孩子来提供友谊和乐趣个的项目”。A选项是说提供学生公共服务；B选
项说帮助学生提高分数；C给年轻人组织体育活动；D给年轻人提供友情和乐趣。所以选
D项。
67. A volunteer is usually expected to work within a year for at least______.
A. 24 hours B. 36 hours C. 48 hours D. 72 hours
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断。根据文章第三段第一句可知：志愿者要每年至少参加12个月，每
个月三道四次，每次花一到四小时。所以可以得出，志愿者一年之内最少要工作
12*3*1=36小时。
68. According to Emily’s mother, this program may provide Emily with______.
A. advice from her teachers B. a new way to assess herself
C. a new way to judge her schoolmates D. more comments from her schoolmates
69. Why did Sarah want to get involved in the program?

play.” Sarah想要通过参加这个项目来找些事儿做，因为有时候生活充满了工作而没有放
松。A：她曾经是一个志愿者；B她需要一份兼职；C她感觉生活有点无趣；D她想要获得
一份有挑战性的工作。所以选C项。

For those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the
countries into a series of villages. Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler
than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet plane fly people from
第12页 | 共16页one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred
years ago.
Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid,
they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not
endured (忍受). The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights
and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests
and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and
distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling
the narrow window of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the
only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.
Then there is the time spent being “processed” at a modern airport. People are conveyed like
robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again
before the passenger move again to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes,
but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent.
No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man, however, is now a world traveler and can not turn his back on the airplane. The working
lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design
and operation. The holiday maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy
airports and limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun.
speed controls people’s lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing—or so we are
