第5页 | 共31页Part Ⅱ Language Knowledge (45 marks)
Section A (15 marks)
Directions: For each of the following unfinished sentences there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Choose the one that best completes the sentence.
21.It was when we were returning home ________ I realized what a good feeling it was to have helped someone in
trouble.
A. which B. that C. where D. how
【答案】B
【考点定位】考查强调句。
【名师点睛】本题旨在考查强调句，要求有学生掌握好强调句的常用句型以及相关知识的能力。强调是有
效地进行思想交流的重要手段之一。人们在交际过程中，为了使自己的思想能被对方恰当的理解，必须加
强语气，突出重要的内容，增加对比效果与感情色彩，这时就会用到强调。分析句子时首先要看清楚结构
，It was/is…开头而后面跟句子时就要看它是不是强调句了。强调句有一个特点：拿掉It
was/is…that…后不影响整个句子的完整性，则是强调句。判断完是不是强调句后再根据强调的部分是人还
是物来选择连接词that或者是who。
22.As you go through this book, you ________ that each of the millions of people who lived through World War II
had a different experience.
A. will find B. found C. had found D.have found
【答案】A
第6页 | 共31页【考点定位】考查时态。
【名师点睛】本题旨在考查句子的时态，要求学生明确地掌握各个时态的定义以及它们在时间上的划分段
和用法。“助动词will或shall+动词原形”这一形式，表示将来发生的事情，用于征求对方的意见或表示客气
的邀请。现在完成时表示到说话时为止（或到现在为止）已经发生或完成了（不一定结束）的动作或状态
，共有四种主要用法：一、现在完成时表示影响；二、现在完成时表示持续；三、现在完成时表示重复；
四、现在完成时表示将来。而在此题中As you go through this
book是一个现在时了，所以后文就不能出现过去时或过去完成时。虽然在此题中没有明确的时间状语，但
从意思上还是可以理解出来的。
23.Only after talking to two students ________ that having strong motivation is one of the biggest factors in
reaching goals.
A. I did discover B. did I discover C. I discovered D. discovered
【答案】B
【考点定位】考查only置于句首的部分倒装。
【名师点睛】本题旨在考查学生是否知道only置于句首主句的句子要进行部分倒装以及部分倒装的定义。
副词only置于句首， 强调方式状语、 条件状语、 地点状语、 时间状语等状语时，
主句要进行部分倒装。如果被only所强调的状语为状语从句， 该状语从句不倒装，
只对主句进行倒装，但若位于句首的不是only+状语，而是 only+宾语等，则通常无需倒装。after talking to
two students是一个状语，故对主语进行倒装。要求学生熟练掌握这个知识点。
24.Video games can be a poor influence if ________ in the wrong hands.
A. to leave B. leaving C. leave D. left
【答案】D
第7页 | 共31页【考点定位】考查状语从句中的省略问题。
【名师点睛】一般说来省略现象多出现在下列五种状语从句中:由 when ,while ,as ,before, after , till, until, onc
e等引导的时间状语从句；由whether ,if , unless 等引导的条件状语从句；由 though , although ,even if ,whatev
er等引导的让步状语从句；由 as ,than 等引导的比较状语从句；由as, as if , as though 等引导的方式状语从句
。上述状语从句在省略时，并非任何成分都可以省略而是遵循下面原则：（1）当状语从句的主语与主句
的主语一致时且从句中含有be动词的某种形式时，可以省略状语从句的主语和系动词be 。（2）当从句的
主语与主句的主语不一致，但从句主语是 it，从句中又含有系动词be 的某种形式时 ，可以把it和系动词be
一起省略。此题的形式属于：连词(when ,if ,even if ,unless ,once ,until, than , as ) + 过去分词 。完整的句子就
是：Video games can be a poor influence if they are left in the wrong hands.
25.I wasn't able to hide my eagerness when I ________, "What do you wish me to do now?"
A. ask B. have asked C. am asking D. asked
【答案】D
渴望，当我问道，“你现在希望我做些什么？”故选D
【考点定位】考查时间状语的时态。
【名师点睛】分析4个选项可以知道，该题考查的其实是不同的时态。掌握英语的时态和语态，必须掌握
好英语中的助动词(do, be, have)和时间状语这两个核心问题，如本题的I wasn't able
to是一个提示。另外也要结合使用语境综合分析选项，最终得出答案。
26.You have to know ________ you're going if you are to plan the best way of getting there.
A. what B. that C. where D. who
【答案】C
第8页 | 共31页【考点定位】考查宾语从句。
【名师点睛】判断是什么句子最关键，这个句子是由know引导的宾语从句，宾语从句的连接词有连接代词
和连接副词。因为从句部分缺少状语成分，答案就出来了。正确解答该题需要理解句意以及注意上下文（
you're going if you are to plan the best way of getting there.）的表达。
27. It is important to remember that success ________ a sum of small efforts made each day and often ________
years of achieve.
A. is; takes B. are; takes C. are; take D. is; take
【答案】A
【考点定位】考查主谓一致原则
【名师点睛】本题旨在考查主谓一致原则，要求学生掌握这一原则和用法，确定句子主语的单复数，不要
受其他干扰项干扰而答错。主谓一致是指： 1） 语法形式上要一致，即单复数形式与谓语要一致。2） 意
义上要一致，即主语意义上的单复数要与谓语的单复数形式一致。 3） 就近原则，即谓语动词的单复形式
取决于最靠近它的词语， 一般来说，不可数名词用动词单数，可数名词复数用动词复数。 4）就远原则，
即谓语动词的单复形式取决于离它最远的词语， 一般来说，不可数名词用动词单数，可数名词复数用动词
复数。
28.He must have sensed that I ________ him. He suddenly glanced at me and said quietly, "Why are you staring at
me like that?"
A. would look at B. looked at C. was looking at D. am looking at
第9页 | 共31页【答案】C
【考点定位】考查时态。
【名师点睛】根据选项可以知道，该题考查的其实是不同的时态。掌握英语的时态和语态，必须掌握好英
语中的助动词(do, be, have)和时间状语这两个核心问题，如根据本题的He must have sensed和He suddenly
glanced at me and said quietly提示。另外也要结合使用语境综合分析选项，最终得出答案。
29.It is a truly delightful place, ________ looks the same as it must have done 100 years ago with its winding
streets and pretty cottages..
A. as B. where C. that D. which
【答案】D
【考点定位】考查定语从句关系代词。
【名师点睛】本题旨在考查定语从句中的关系词，要求学生掌握在什么情况下用关系副词，什么情况下用
关系代词以及各自的意义。非限制性定语从句是先行词的附加说明，去掉了也不会影响主句的意思，它与
主句之间通常用逗号分开。非限制性定语从句还能将整个主句作为先行词, 对其进行修饰,
这时从句谓语动词要用第三人称单数。关系代词that和关系副词why不能引导非限制性定语从句。
30.When the clerk saw a kind face wrinkled in an apologetic smile, she stood rooted to the ground, ________
whether to stay or leave.
A. wondering B. wonder
C．to wonder D．wondered
【答案】A
第10页 | 共31页【考点定位】考查非谓语动词
【名师点睛】
非谓语形式有三种：1、动词不定式：to do 2、动词的ing : doing 3、
动词的过去分词：done;不定式：表示目的和将来；动词的ing：表示主动和进行；过去分词：表示被动和
完成。非谓语动词的做题步骤1、判定是否用非谓语形式。方法：看看句子中是否已有了谓语动词了;2、找
非谓语动词的逻辑主语。方法：非谓语动词的逻辑主语一般是句子的主语。3、判断主被动关系。方法：
非谓语动词与其逻辑主语的主动还是被动关系。4、判断时间关系。方法：分析句子，看看非谓语动词所
表示的动作发生在谓语动作之前、之后还是同时。之前常用 done; 之后常用to do;
同时常用doing.从本题来看主句的主语she与动词wonder构成逻辑上的主动关系，因此用v.-ing形式作伴随状
语。
31.Always ________ in mind that your main task is to get this company running smoothly.
A. to keep B. to have kept
C．keep D．have kept
【答案】C
【考点定位】考查祈使句。
【名师点睛】
【名师点睛】祈使句表请求、命令、叮嘱、邀请、劝告等.祈使句分为第二人称祈使句及第—
、三人称祈使句两大类.祈使句用于两个重要句型中；1．“祈使句+and+表结果的陈述句”用来叙述肯定的条
件.2．“祈使句+or(else)+表结果的陈述句”用来叙述否定的条件,or(else)表示“否则；句首以动词原形开
头。从本题的成分来判断，可以看出是考查祈使句。
32.I had a strong desire to reach in and play with the toy, but ________ thankfully by the shop window.
A. am held back B. held back
C．hold back D．was held back
第11页 | 共31页【答案】D
【考点定位】考查动词的时态和语态。
【名师点睛】
【名师点睛】分析4个选项可以知道，该题考查的其实是不同的时态。掌握英语的时态和语态，必须掌握
好英语中的助动词(do, be, have)和时间状语这两个核心问题，如本题的判断,
根据主句中的had可知时态是一般过去时。另外也要结合使用语境综合分析选项，最终得出答案。
33.________ the job takes a significant amount of time, most students agree that the experience is worth it.
A. If only B. After
C．Although D．In case
【答案】C
【考点定位】考查状语从句。
【名师点睛】
【名师点睛】连词考查的重点集中在以下两个方面：一是连接两个词或连接一个并列句时并列连词的选择
，此类题型要求我们必须确切地理解句子的意义，在此基础上确定词与词之间及两个分句之间的关系，从
而确定出正确的并列连词；二是对从属连词的考查侧重和从句的理解相联系，对应句子或上下文，正确把
握从属连词。本题属于后者，该题所需要的是正确理解四个选项及句意。
34.Sometimes I act as a listening ear for fellow students ________ what is bothering them.
A. to talk over B. talked over
C．talk over D．having talked over
【答案】A
【考点定位】考查非谓语动词。
第12页 | 共31页【名师点睛】
【名师点睛】非谓语动词不定式可以表示目的，在句中作目的状语。①表目的：He worked day and night to
get the money. 他夜以继日地工作来赚钱。She sold her hair to buy the watch chain.
她卖掉了自己的头发来买那条表链。注意不定式放句首时，逻辑主语与句子主语要一致
35.That's why I help brighten people's days. If you ________， who's to say that another person will?
A. didn't B. don't
C．weren't D．haven't
【答案】B
【考点定位】考查动词的时态。
【名师点睛】
【名师点睛】一般现在时:表示通常性、规律性、习惯性的状态或者动作（有时间规律发生的事件）的一种
时间状态；在一般现在时中,当主语是第三人称单数时,谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式,即常在动词原形后
加-s或-
es.在本题目中，可以从这个角度来判断，主将从现是指在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中，如果主句是一
般将来时，从句用一般现在时替代一般将来时。比如：条件状语从句的主句是一般将来时，那么从句常常
用一般现在时 如： When I grow up, I’ll be a nurse and look after patients
我长大后要当一名护士，照顾病人。

according to the information given in the passage.
A
第17页 | 共31页Forget Cyclists, Pedestrians are Real Danger
We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.
■Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But
pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.
People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile
phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while
crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or
just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.
The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their
own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.
——Michael Horan
■I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem
to think they own the roads.
I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being
asked what he was doing he shouted at me.
The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.
The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!
The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent
(发荧光的) jacket and lights at night and in the morning they should pay some sort of tax and be
fined for not wearing them.
——Carol Harvey
■Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the
pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.
I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle
lane right next to him.
Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?
It's about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a
vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to
claim.
第18页 | 共31页——JML

In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that
people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is
第20页 | 共31页stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, "No, thanks. I've got a good
horse under me."
The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasn't enough
difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the
Chicago River or raise the city.
An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced me the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above
ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet.
This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago.
Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the
second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame
buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like Tremont Hotel, which was a six-
story brick building?
That's where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big
structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the
building's foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman's signal
each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly.
Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn't even notice
anything was happening. Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago's early history,
every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago's waste water was draining
efficiently into the Chicago River, the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.
61.The author mentions the joke to show ______.
A. horses were fairly useful in Chicago
B. Chicago's streets were extremely muddy
C. Chicago was very dangerous in the spring
D. the Chicago people were particularly humorous
62.The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_______.

A. It went on smoothly as intended.
B. It interrupted the business of the hotel.
C. It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.
D. It separated the building from its foundation.

C
Have your parents ever inspected your room to see if you cleaned it properly? Imagine having your entire houses,
garage, and yard inspected at any time -- with no warning. Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse (灯塔)
living, and a keeper's reputation depended on results. A few times each year, an inspector arrived to look over the
entire light station. The inspections were supposed to be a surprise, but keeper sometimes had advance notice.
Once lighthouses had telephones, keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching.
After boats began flying special flags nothing the inspector aboard, the keeper's family made it a game to see who
could notice the boat first. As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last-minute tidying and change
into fancy clothes. The keeper then scurried to put on his dress uniform and cap. Children of keepers remember
inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust.
Despite the serious nature of inspections, they resulted in some funny moments. Betty Byrnes remembered
when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection. At the time, people did not have
dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan,
第23页 | 共31页covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven. If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like
bread was baking. he never did.
One day, Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house. Like
floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood. This time, though, she used a little too much
oil. When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's mother, he slipped on the freshly oiled surface. "He
came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight," Glenn late wrote. After he
steadied himself, he shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened.
66.What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection at the light station?
A. It was carried out once a year.
B. It was often announced in advance.
C. It was important for the keeper's fame.
D. It was focused on the garage and yard.
67.The family began making preparations immediately after ______.
A. one of the members saw the boat
B. a warning call reached the lighthouse
C. the keeper put on the dress uniform and cap
D. the inspector flew special flags in the distance
68.Mrs. Byrnes put the dishes in the oven because this would ______.
A. result in some fun
B. speed up washing them
C. make her home look tidy
D. be a demand from the inspector
69.If the inspector had opened the oven door, he would have seen _______.
A. an empty pan
B. many clean dishes
C. pieces of baked bread
D. a cloth covering something
70.The inspector waved his arms ______.

Part IV Writing (45 marks)
第25页 | 共31页Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the
passage
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Not all print dictionaries are the same, as you will notice when you select one. To make a wise selection, you
should know how to distinguish among three kinds of print dictionaries: pocket, desk, and unabridged. You should
also know the copyright date of your dictionary, and check is special features.
[来源:学科网ZXXK]
A pocket dictionary is small. Generally, it contains no more than 75000 entries, making it hardly to carry to
class and efficient to use. However, a pocket dictionary doesn't contain enough entries to be adequate for college
reference homework. In addition, the information about each word in a pocket dictionary is generally limited. A
desk dictionary is medium sized, generally containing over 100,000 entries as well as extra features. For college
work, you should own a current desk dictionary. An unabridged dictionary is a complete dictionary. Abridged
dictionaries, such as pocket and desk dictionaries, are shortened. Because unabridged dictionaries contain nearly all
English words, they are large and heavy. They are often used by schools and libraries.
If the copyright date of your current dictionary shows that it was published five or more years ago, consider
investing in a more recent edition. English is a dynamic language that admits new words and recognizes changes in
meaning, spelling, and usage of familiar words. This is reflected in an up-to-date dictionary.
In selecting a dictionary, check the features it offers besides vocabulary definitions. Many editions contain signs,
symbols and foreign words. Some also contain CD-ROMs and access to special online features.

保持一致，故admits要变成admitting。
Section B (10 mark.)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the
passage.
Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things
第28页 | 共31页For most high school students, free periods are useless. From what I have seen, few do homework, instead many
are on their phones and talking, making it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any. As a
senior next year, I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
Our school offers many classes. Now is the time to experiment in different fields of study. We will never
know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
In my 8th grade, I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement; so in the 9th grade I took
Studio and Art. One of the projects was to build a clay pot, but I built mine incorrectly, so it broke in the kiln (窑). I
found out that I have no artistic ability at all, and now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist. However,
the class was one of my favorites that year. I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things! College is when we should focus on a specific major, but
high school is when we have to figure it out.
Half of all college students change their major at some point. By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on
classes that they would have never needed to take. So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in
college. The classes we choose can impact us in future. Taking optional subjects will enrich our mind. It will also
show colleges we are diverse students.
81. How should we use our extra periods in the author's opinion?
(No more than 9 words) (2 marks)
_________________________________________________________________________________________
82. Why does the author think we should experiment in different fields of study?
(No more than 17 words) (2 marks)
_________________________________________________________________________________________
83. Why did the clay pot show the author's lack of artistic ability?
(No more than 10 words) (3 marks)
_________________________________________________________________________________________
84.According to the author, how will taking optional subjects impact up in the future?
(No more than 13 words) (3 marks)
_________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
81.We should use them to take optional subjects.
第29页 | 共31页82.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject without trying it.
83.It was built incorrectly and broke in the kiln.
84.It will enrich our mind and show colleges we are diverse students.
【考点定位】人生哲理类短文阅读。
【名师点睛】这种有关人生类的哲理性短文，夹叙夹议，一定程度上相当于记叙文。首先一定要理清作者
的思路，根据作者的思路搞清楚他想表达自己一个什么样的思想以及他从自己的经历或叙事当中的体会是
什么。比如第三段中的句子：One of the projects was to build a clay pot, but I built mine incorrectly, so it broke
in the kiln (窑). I found out that I have no artistic ability at all, and now I know for sure that I do not want to be an
artist.可知作者本来是想做一个艺术家，但通过烧窑做黏土锅这件事发现自己并不适合当艺术家。以此来鼓
励作者根据自己的兴趣做一些尝试，成功失败都不重要，在年轻时丰富自己的经历和大脑才是首要事情。

Yesterday afternoon, Li Ming and I went home together after school. Suddenly we saw an old lady knocked
down by a car. The driver ran away in his car. Li Ming and I ran over to find that the old lady's head was bleeding.
She had already lost consciousness. Immediately I took out my handkerchief and covered the wound with it. Li
Ming stopped a taxi quickly. Together we put the old lady into the taxi and drove her to the nearest hospital.
