things， so I completed them perfectly．She loved how 42 I was， so I began to

something．

"Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effort I'd put in． It was that year that I 49 I

I stronger and more competent than I had thought， but I also 51 a strong interest and a
world I hadn't known existed． She taught me not to 52 what people think I should
do． She taught me to take chances and not be 53 ．Mrs． Neidl was my comforter when I

第一节(共15 小题，每小题2 分，满分30 分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Goldie's Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall． No way could I have sent her
away． No way， not me anyway． Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night
before． "We're moving house．" "No space for her any more with the baby coming．" "We never
really wanted her， but what could we have done? She was a present．" People find all sorts of
excuses for abandoning an animal． And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen．
I called her Goldie． If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more
creative name． She was so unsettled during those first few days． She hardly ate anything and
had such an air of sadness about her． There was nothing I could do to make her happy， it
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
seemed． Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's． But eventually at the
end of the first week she calmed down． Always by my side， whether we were out on one of our
long walks or sitting by the fire．
That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for
a walk． We were a long way from home， when she started barking and getting very
restless． Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a
farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could．
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie． But when I saw her
licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them． "We didn't know
what had happened to her，" said the woman at the door． "I took her for a walk one day， soon
after the puppies were born， and she just disappeared．" "She must have tried to come back to
them and got lost，" added a boy from behind her．
I must admit I do miss Goldie， but I've got Nugget now， and she looks just like her
mother． And I've learnt a good lesson： not to judge people．
56．How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?
A．Shocked． B．Sympathetic． C．Annoyed． D．Upset．
57．In her first few days at the author's house， Goldie ．
A．felt worried B．was angry C．ate a little D．sat by the fire
58．Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she ．
A．saw her puppies B．heard familiar barkings
C．wanted to leave the author D．found her way to her old home
59．The passage is organized in order of ．
A．time B．effectiveness C．importance D．complexity
B
Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently — one who works for you． In fact，
he's one of your best reporters． He wants to leave．
Your reporter gave me a copy of his résumé (简历) and photocopies of six stories that he
wrote for you． The headlines showed you played them proudly． With great enthusiasm， he
talked about how he finds issues (问题)， approaches them， and writes about them， which tells
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
me he is one of your best． I'm sure you would hate to lose him．
Surprisingly， your reporter is not unhappy． In fact， he told me he really likes his job． He
has a great assignment (分工)， and said you run a great paper． It would be easy for you to keep
him， he said． He knows that the paper values him． He appreciates the responsibility you've
given him， takes ownership of his profession， and enjoys his freedom．
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him． He wants to
be pushed， challenged， coached to new heights．
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions， but his editors usually
ask how long the story will be， when it will be in， where it can play， and what the budget is．
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great
ones． He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea
upside down and inside out， exploring the best ways to report it． He wants to be more valuable
for your paper． That's what you want for him， too， isn't it?
So your reporter has set me thinking．
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters， copy editors， photographers， artists —
everyone —is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their
potential． If we can't do it， they'll find someone who can．
60．What does the writer think of the reporter?
A．Optimistic． B．Imaginative． C．Ambitious． D．Proud．
61．What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?
A．Finding the news value of his stories． B．Giving him financial support．
C．Helping him to find issues． D．Improving his good ideas．
62．Who probably wrote the letter?
A．An editor． B．An artist． C．A reporter． D．A reader．
63．The letter aims to remind editors that they should ．
A．keep their best reporters at all costs
B．give more freedom to their reporters
C．be aware of their reporters' professional development
D．appreciate their reporters' working styles and attitudes

C
Pacing and Pausing
Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve's new wife， but Betty never seemed to have
anything to say． While Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation， Betty
complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk． The problem had to do with
expectations about pacing and pausing．
Conversation is a turn-taking game． When our habits are similar， there's no problem． But
if our habits are different， you may start to talk before I'm finished or fail to take your turn when
I'm finished． That's what was happening with Betty and Sara．
It may not be coincidental that Betty， who expected relatively longer pauses between turns，
is British， and Sara， who expected relatively shorter pauses， is American． Betty often felt
interrupted by Sara． But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the
talking when she met a visitor from Finland． And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some
speakers from Latin America or Israel．
The general phenomenon， then， is that the small conversation techniques， like pacing and
pausing， lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and
abilities． These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定
式)． And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences． For example， a
woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in
personnel． When the Personnel Department got together for meetings， she kept searching for the
right time to break in — and never found it． Although back home she was considered outgoing
and confident， in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring． When she was evaluated at
the end of the year， she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up．
That's why slight differences in conversational style — tiny little things like microseconds of
pause — can have a great effect on one's life． The result in this case was a judgment of
psychological problems — even in the mind of the woman herself， who really wondered what
was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training．
64．What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?
A．Betty was talkative． B．Betty was an interrupter．
C．Betty did not take her turn． D．Betty paid no attention to Sara．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
65．According to the passage， who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?
A．Americans． B．Israelis． C．The British． D．The Finns．
66．We can learn from the passage that ．
A．communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing
B．women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US
C．one's inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes
D．one should receive training to build up one's confidence
67．The underlined word "assertiveness" in the last paragraph probably means ．
A．being willing to speak one's mind
B．being able to increase one's power
C．being ready to make one's own judgment
D．being quick to express one's ideas confidently
D
The Cost of Higher Education
Individuals (个人) should pay for their higher education．
A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual． Graduates earn more
than non-graduates． Meanwhile， social mobility is ever more dependent on having a
degree． However， only some people have it． So the individual， not the taxpayers， should
pay for it． There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government． Using taxpayers'
money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them．
Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities． Adam Smith worked in a
Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees． He knew and looked down upon
18th-century Oxford， where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the
government． Guaranteed salaries， Smith argued， were the enemy of hard work； and when
the academics were lazy and incompetent， the students were similarly lazy．
If students have to pay for their education， they not only work harder， but also demand
more from their teachers． And their teachers have to keep them satisfied． If that means taking
teaching seriously， and giving less time to their own research interests， that is surely something
to celebrate．
Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
(经济)． Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth， but so do all the businesses
that invest (投资) and create jobs． If you believe that the government should pay for higher
education because graduates are economically productive， you should also believe that the
government should pay part of business costs． Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a
gift of capital from the government to invest．
Therefore， it is the individual， not the government， who should pay for their university
education．
68．The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refers to ．
A．taxpayers B．pressing calls
C．college graduates D．government resources
69．The author thinks that with full government funding ．
A．teachers are less satisfied
B．students are more demanding
C．students will become more competent
D．teachers will spend less time on teaching
70．The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to ．
A．argue against free university education
B．call on them to finance students' studies
C．encourage graduates to go into business
D．show their contribution to higher education

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多
余选项。
Muzak
The next time you go into a bank， a store， or a supermarket， stop and listen． What do
you hear? 71 It's similar to the music you listen to， but it's not exactly the same． That's
because this music was especially designed to relax you，or to give you extra energy． Sometimes
you don't even realize the music is playing， but you react to the music anyway．
Quiet background music used to be called "elevator (电梯) music" because we often heard it
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
in elevators． But lately we hear it in more and more places， and it has a new name
"Muzak"． About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak" every day． The music
plays for 15 minutes at a time， with short pauses in between． It is always more lively between
ten and eleven in the morning， and between three and four in the afternoon， when people are
more tired． 72 ．
If you listen to Muzak carefully， you will probably recognize the names of many of the
songs． Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak， but others
are happy when their songs are chosen． Why? 73 Music is often played in public places
because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel． It has
been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do． Tired office workers suddenly have more
energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background． 74 Supermarket
shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries．
75 They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time． But other people enjoy
hearing Muzak in public places． They say it helps them relax and feel calm． One way or another，
Muzak affects everyone． Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear
Muzak!
A．Some people don't like Muzak．
B．The music gives them extra energy．
C．Music is playing in the background．
D．Factory workers produce 13 percent more．
E．Muzak tends to help people understand music better．
F．They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used．
G．Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world．

英语答案
1．B 2．A 3．A 4．C 5．B 6．B 7．A 8．C
9．C 10．A 11．C 12．C 13．A 14．B 15．B
16．wrong 17．3C56/3c56 18．system 19．special 20．credit
21．A【解析】考查非谓语动词。现在分词短语Looking at my classmates' faces 在句中作状
语，look 与句子主语I 是逻辑上的主谓关系，因此用look 的现在分词形式。
22．A【解析】考查动词的时态和语态。语意：在美国一些地方的口语中，"r"这个音在单词
结尾被省略了。动词drop 与句子主语是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用被动语态，由此可
以排除B、D 两项。另外，这里描述一种现象，因此用一般现在时。
23．B【解析】考查情态动词。must 在这里表示推测，意思是"一定"。语意：你一定是Peters
夫人。其他几项不合语意。
24．D【解析】考查动词的时态。根据题干内容可知，这里表示的是此时此刻正在进行的动
作，即"我们的朋友们正在等着我们"，因此用现在进行时。
25．A【解析】考查非谓语动词。动词advertise 和名词position 是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用
过去分词表被动；过去分词短语advertised in yesterday's China Daily 在句中作position
的后置定语。B 项表示将要发生的动作，不合题意。
26．D【解析】考查动词的时态。根据题干内容可知，答话者是说自己没有把话说清楚从而
导致"对方误解"，即这一动作对现在造成了影响，所以用现在完成时。
27．B【解析】考查定语从句。whose 引导定语从句，和前面的who 引导的定语从句并列，
共同修饰先行词children，并且whose 在从句中作定语，修饰diet。
28．A【解析】考查动词的时态。根据题干内容可知，do 这个动作发生在句中took 这个过
去动作之前，即是"过去的过去"，因此用过去完成时。
29．C【解析】考查介词。for 表示"为了"，即这些花是给所有人欣赏的。
30．D【解析】考查连词。once 在句中引导时间状语从句，表示"一旦"。语意：一旦学生决
定上哪个大学，他们就应该了解一下入学手续。其他几项不合题意。
31．C【解析】考查名词性从句。what 引导名词性从句，作介词for 的宾语。另外，what 在
从句中作表语。
32．B【解析】考查名词性从句。that 引导的名词性从句在句中作表语，且that 不充当句子
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
的任何成分。其他几项不合题意。
33．B【解析】考查名词性从句。语意：一些人认为是缺点的地方在其他人看来是一种优势。
what 引导的名词性从句作句子的主语，且what 在从句中作regard 的宾语。其他几项不
合题意。
34．D【解析】考查虚拟语气。根据语意可知，这里表示与过去的事实相反的假设，即哪怕
是下一滴雨，我的蔬菜都不会死掉。表示与过去事实相反的状况，从句谓语动词用"had
done"，主句谓语动词用"would/could/should/might have done"。由此可知，D 项正确。
35．C【解析】考查冠词。第一空用不定冠词a，a second chance 表示"再一次机会"；第二空
用a 表示泛指的概念。
36．B【解析】考查连词。这句话前半句中用到了unpleasant voice，而后半句中用了encouraging
and inspiring，由此可见前后分句存在转折的关系，因此选yet。虽然她说话的声音不好
听且说话很直接，不过(yet)却让人感到鼓舞和振奋。
37．A【解析】考查名词辨析。根据后面一句话中的how I thought we should____things 可知，
她会问我有什么看法，A 项正确。opinion"观点，看法"；impression"印象"；information"
信息"；intention"打算"。
38．C【解析】考查动词辨析。handle 在这里表示"处理"的意思。她想知道我认为我们该怎
么处理一些事情。
39．D【解析】根据前半句中的I had no idea how to answer 可知，因为我对舞台设计一窍不
通，刚开始时不知该怎么回答。
40．A【解析】我慢慢地开始回答她的问题(questions)。
41．D【解析】考查动词辨析。联系上下文内容可知，那是一种因果效应：她相信我有自己
的见解，这样我便开始形成了自己的观点。hold"持有，拿"；follow"遵从，跟随"；evaluate"
评价"；form"形成"。
42．C【解析】考查形容词辨析。老师喜欢我，因为我值得她信任。根据后面一句话中的believed
in me 可知C 项正确。reliable 意思是"可靠的，可信赖的"。happy"高兴的"，lively"活泼
的"，punctual"守时的"，都不符合语境。
43．B【解析】考查名词辨析。根据后面引号里的内容可知，这是老师的座右铭(motto)。
44．D【解析】考查副词辨析。later 表示"以后"，即试试看，以后会成功的。
45．D【解析】考查名词辨析。take risks，表示"冒险"。根据后面一句话中的I had been so afraid
of failing 可知，过去我很害怕失败，而现在开始去尝试，去冒险。其他几个选项不合题
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
意。

第三部分 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
A
F． Scott Fitzgerald， born on September 24，1896， an American novelist， was once a
student of St． Paul Academy， the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short
while． In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama， where he met his future wife
Zelda Sayre． Then he had to make some money to impress her．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
His life with her was full of great happiness， as he wrote in his diary： "My own happiness
in the past often approached such joy that I could not share it even with the person dearest to me
but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary．"
This Side of Paradise， his first novel， was published in 1920． Encouraged by its success，
Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing． Then he continued with the novel The
Beautiful and Damned (1922)， a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age (1922)， and a
play The Vegetable (1923)． But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby， published in 1925，
which quickly brought him praise from the literary world． Yet it failed to give him the needed
financial security． Then， in 1926， he published another collection of short stories All the Sad
Young Men．
However， Fitzgerald's problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing． During the 1920s
he tried to reorder his life， but failed． By 1930， his wife had her first breakdown and went to
a Swiss clinic． During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The Love
of the Last Tycoon in 1940． While his wife was in hospital in the United States， he got totally
addicted to alcohol． Sheila Graham， his dear friend， helped him fight his alcoholism．
56．How many novels written by Fitzgerald are mentioned in the passage?
A．5． B．6． C．7． D．8．
57．Which of the following is the correct order to describe Fitzgerald's life according to the
passage?
a．He became addicted to drinking．
b．He studied at St． Paul Academy．
c．He published his first novel This Side of Paradise．
d．The Great Gatsby won high praise．

Forget Twitter and Facebook， Google and the Kindle． Television is still the most influential
medium around． Indeed， for many of the poorest regions (地区) of the world， it remains the
next big thing — finally becomes globally available． And that is a good thing， because the TV
revolution is changing lives for the better．
Across the developing world， around 45% of families had a TV in 1995； by 2005 the
number had climbed above 60%． That is some way behind the U．S．， where there are more TVs
than people， and where people now easily get access to the Internet． Five million more families
in Sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years． In 2005， after the fall of the
Taliban (塔利班)， which had outlawed TV， 1 in 5 Afghans had one． The global total is another
150 million by 2013 — pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families．
Television's most powerful effect will be on the lives of women． In India， researchers
Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages， women were more likely
to go to the market without their husbands' approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a
girl． They were more likely to make decisions over child health care． TV is also a powerful
medium for adult education． In the Indian state of Gujarat， Chitrageet is a popular show that
plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen． Within six months， viewers had
made a small but significant (有意义的) improvement in their reading skills．
Too much TV has been associated with violence， overweight and loneliness． However，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide．
60．The underlined word "outlawed" in Paragraph 2 probably means " "．
A．allowed B．banned C．offered D．refused
61．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Americans used to get access to the Internet easily．
B．The world's TV sets will total 150 million by 2013．
C．45% of families in the developing countries had a TV in 2005．

A．stress the advantages of TV to people's lives
B．persuade women to become more independent
C．encourage people to improve their reading skills
D．introduce the readers some websites such as Google

Businesses are witnessing a difficult time， which has in turn produced influence on
consumers' desire to go green． However， shoppers are still laying stress on environmental
concerns．
Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the
same degree as they did a year ago， while more than a quarter say that they are now even better
aware of the environmental effect on what they buy．
This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves． And the companies
should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly． Two out of three people think
it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies， with about one in seven
saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company's
environmental reputation was not good enough．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Harry Morrison， chief executive (主管) of the Carbon Trust， sympathizes： "I understand
this situation where survival is very important now． But from environmental considerations， the
clock is ticking — we don't have much time． In addition， cutting carbon has an immediate effect
as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand．"
Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint， as
new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their
emissions (排放)． Those that have taken early action will have a head start． More than two
thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible． This
suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole
position to attract shoppers．
The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work
companies are doing． "When companies are granted (授予) the standard， they can use a logo
(标识) in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions，
" Mr． Morrison said．
64．What's the main idea of the passage?
A．Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers．
B．Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions．
C．Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home．
D．Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers' environmental awareness．
65．The underlined word "inform" in Paragraph 2 probably means " "．
A．affect B．change C．disturb D．reject
66．According to Harry Morrison， businesses ．
A．will benefit from cutting carbon emissions
B．should buy carbon allowances for shoppers
C．are required to make up for their carbon emissions
D．have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere
67．We can learn from the passage that businesses will ．
A．have a strong desire to reduce costs
B．use the same logo in their marketing
C．gain advantages by taking early action

In the United States， there were some well-constructed houses for native Indians， ranging
from the simple brush shelter to the five-storied pueblo．
In the eastern United States， one of the existing types was that commonly known under the
Algonkian name of wigwam in which the Iroquois Indians lived． The wigwams were of
wagon-top shape with straight sides and ends， made by bending young trees to form the round
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
shape．Over this shape pieces of tree bark were laid to protect the Indians from bad weather．Over
the bark dried grass was added．A small hole allowed smoke to escape from the top． Doorways at
each end served also as windows．The Iroquois Indians built trunk walls all around their
villages．The wall had only one opening． They could quickly close this opening if their enemies
came near．
Interestingly， the Choctaw Indians in Mississippi also lived in a wigwam of a most primitive
(原始的) construction， but different from those of the Iroquois Indians． The Choctaw Indians'
wigwams，made from mud，cane and straw， were in the form of a bee-hive． The covering was
made of a long， tough grass．A post in the centre supported the roof．A hole in the top admitted
the light，and allowed the smoke to pass out．
The tipi tent-housing of the upper lake and plains area was put up with poles set lightly in the
ground，tied together near the top，and covered with bark and grass in the lake country． It was
easily portable， and two women could set it up or take it down within an hour．
The Pawnee，Mandan and other Indian tribes (部落) along the Missouri built solid
ring-shaped structures of trunk，covered with earth and dried grass，housing a dozen families．
The Wichita and other tribes of the Texas border built large ring-shaped houses covered with
dried grass．
Apart from the regular housing，almost every tribe had some style of housing．
72．Which of the following pictures shows the house for the Iroquois Indians?
73．According to the passage， the Pawnee Indians built their houses ．

第二节 书面表达
【范文赏析】
Ladies and gentlemen，
Good morning．I'm Li Hua from Fujian，China．It's my great honor to be here to say
something about the global water shortage and ways of dealing with it．
As we know， the global water shortage is becoming increasingly severe mainly due to
global warming，environmental pollution and the ever-increasing population．Therefore， it's high
time we did something about it．
Firstly，an effective way，I think， is to reserve water in a scientific way for future
use． Secondly，new methods need to be developed to use the existing water resources， for
example， turning sea water into fresh water． Thirdly， we must stop water pollution by
law． Last but not least， it's everyone's responsibility to make good use of water， such as
recycling and saving water in our daily life．
In conclusion， people around the world should be aware of the real situation of water
shortage， protect the present water resources and explore potential ones scientifically．
That's all． Thank you．

asked his teacher， "Sir， the water was awful． Why did you pretend to like 38 ？

container for an act of kindness and love． Nothing could be 39 (sweet)．"

Ⅲ．阅读(共两节，满分40 分)
第一节 阅读理解(共15 小题；每小题2 分，满分30 分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
When I was growing up in America ， I was ashamed of my mother's Chinese
English． Because of her English， she was often treated unfairly． People in department stores，
at banks， and at restaurants did not take her seriously， did not give her good service， pretended
not to understand her， or even acted as if they did not hear her．
My mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well． When I was fifteen， she
used to have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she． I was forced to ask for
information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her． One time I had to call her
stockbroker(股票经纪人)． I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing， "This is
Mrs． Tan．"
And my mother was standing beside me， whispering loudly， "Why he don't send me check
already two week late．"
And then， in perfect English I said "I'm getting rather concerned． You agreed to send the
check two weeks ago， but it hasn't arrived．"
Then she talked more loudly． "What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his
boss．" And so I turned to the stockbroker again， "I can't tolerate any more excuse． If I don't
receive the check immediately， I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
York next week．"
The next week we ended up in New York． While I was sitting there red-faced， my mother，
the real Mrs． Tan， was shouting to his boss in her broken English．
When I was a teenager， my mother's broken English embarrassed me． But now， I see it
differently． To me， my mother's English is perfectly clear， perfectly natural． It is my mother
tongue． Her language， as I hear it， is vivid， direct， and full of observation and wisdom． It
was the language that helped shape the way I saw things， expressed ideas， and made sense of
the world．
41．Why was the author's mother poorly served?
A．She was unable to speak good English．
B．She was often misunderstood．
C．She was not clearly heard．
D．She was not very polite．
42．From Paragraph 2， we know that the author was ．
A．good at pretending
B．rude to the stockbroker
C．ready to help her mother
D．unwilling to phone for her mother
43．After the author made the phone call， ．
A．they forgave the stockbroker
B．they failed to get the check
C．they went to New York immediately
D．they spoke to their boss at once
44．What does the author think of her mother's English now?
A．It confuses her．
B．It embarrasses her．
C．It helps her understand the world．
D．It helps her tolerate rude people．
45．We can infer from the passage that Chinese English ．
A．is clear and natural to non-native speakers
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．is vivid and direct to non-native speakers
C．has a very bad reputation in America
D．may bring inconvenience in America
B
When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，"Well，it's so-and-so's fault．"or
"I know I'm late，but it's not my fault；the car broke down．" It is probably not your fault，but once
you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a
loser． You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation． However， you
can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start
focusing on how to remedy the situation． This is the winner's key to success．
Winners are great at overcoming problems． For example， if you were late because your
car broke down， maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly． Or， you might
start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers， so you could call for help when in
need． For another example， if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of
responsibility or ability， find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than
simply blame the person． Ask to work with a different person， or don't rely on this person． You
should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless
of how your colleague fails to do his job well．
This is what being a winner is all about — creatively using your skills and talents so that you
are successful no matter what happens． Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives； they
have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else． They are just better at seeing those
problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents． So， stop focusing on
"whose fault it is．" Once you are confident about your power over bad situations， problems are
just stepping stones for success．
46．According to the passage， winners ．
A．deal with problems rather than blame others
B．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C．have responsible and able colleagues
D．blame themselves rather than others
47．The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．avoid B．accept C．improve D．consider
48．When your colleague brings about a problem， you should ．
A．find a better way to handle the problem
B．blame him for his lack of responsibility
C．tell him to find the cause of the problem
D．ask a more able colleague for help
49．When problems occur， winners take them as ．
A．excuses for their failures
B．barriers to greater power
C．challenges to their colleagues
D．chances for self-development
50．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．A Winner's Secret． B．A Winner's Problem．
C．A Winner's Opportunity． D．A Winner's Achievement．
C
Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things． A person who eats such food can get an
illness called food poisoning． Food poisoning is usually not serious， but some types are
deadly．The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned
food． Fever is one of the most common symptoms．
Certain microorganisms (微生物) cause most types of food poisoning． Bacteria and other
microorganisms can poison eggs， meat， vegetables， and many other foods． After entering
the body， these tiny living things release (释放) poisons that make people sick．
Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning． They are often added to food while it is
being grown， processed， or prepared． For example， many farmers spray chemicals on crops
to kill weeds and insects． Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat
the crops．
Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people． These include
certain kinds of seafood， grains， nuts， seeds， beans， and mushrooms．
When
people
handle
food
properly ，the
risk
of
food
poisoning
is
very
small． Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures． This means
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces． Food
should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing． Meat needs to be cooked
thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms． People should also wash food covered with
chemicals before eating it． Finally， people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that
grow in the wild． Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to
humans． In addition， some types of fish can be poisonous．
Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra
water． If people eat natural poisons， they must go to the hospital right away to have their
stomachs emptied．
51．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Food when poisoned can make people sick．
B．Food poisoning means death．
C．Food poisoning comes in varieties．
D．Food poisoning can be serious．
52．We know from the passage that the symptoms of food poisoning ．
A．are always accompanied by a fever
B．are too common to be noted
C．can be noticed within hours
D．can be ignored
53．Food poisoning can be caused by all the following EXCEPT ．
A．some chemicals B．low temperatures
C．some tiny living things D．certain natural materials
54．From Paragraph 5， we can learn that ．
A．mushrooms should not be eaten
B．vegetables are safer than meat and seafood
C．natural poisons are more dangerous than chemicals
D．different types of food should be handled differently
55．It can be inferred from the passage that ．
A．natural materials are safe in food processing
B．chemicals are needed in food processing
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．food poisoning can be kept under control
D．food poisoning is out of control

In junior high school， one of my classmates， Ethan， was addicted to TV． This boy
simply knew everything about such pop shows as Who's the Boss?
Then one day Ethan's mother made him an offer in order to draw him back to his school
subjects． She promised that she would give him $200 if he could go a full month without

him $200． He went out and bought a TV， the biggest he could find．
In recent years， hundreds of schools have carried out experiments with paying kids with
cash for showing up or getting good grades． All school kids admire this trend． But it upsets
adults． Teachers say that we are rewarding kids for doing what they should be doing of their own

learning cheap． The debate has become a typical battle over why our kids are not learning at the
rate they should be despite decades of reforms and budget increases．

31．The【解析】考查冠词。本句中的water 指代前面提到的水，因此应该使用定冠词。

不一定意味着死亡，因此B 项表述错误。
52．C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段的"The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
within hours of eating the poisoned food．"可知食物中毒的症状会在几个小时内表现出来。
53．B【解析】细节理解题。文章的第二、三和四段列举了引起食物中毒的原因，没有提到
low temperatures，因此B 项为正确答案。倒数第二段的第二句话也是答案提示。
54．D【解析】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段的内容可知不同的食物应当采取不同的处
理方法以避免食物中毒。

第二节 读写任务
【范文赏读】
Ethan's mother failed to stop Ethan watching TV by rewarding him with cash． This kind of
action is common， and even becomes a trend， which is concerned by many adults．
From where I stand， I am not in favor of encouraging kids with cash just because they have
got good marks．
My parents used to encourage me like this． Whenever I made progress in my studies， they
bought me my favourite books， which not only made me motivated to learn， but also helped me
get along well with my studies．
To get kids motivated to learn， I think we should not treat every child in the same way． To
some students， oral praise is essential． Don't save the praise for only the top score． If possible，
involve other adults in praising them． However，this method may not work well with other
kids． Maybe what is more important to them is to watch a movie or go on a trip together with
their parents． It just depends．

第三部分 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
The engineer Camillo Olivetti was 40 years old when he started the company in 1908． At
his factory in Ivrea， he designed and produced the first Italian typewriter． Today the company’s
head office is still in Ivrea， near Turin， but the company is much larger than it was in those days
and there are offices all around the world．
By 1930 there was a staff of 700 and the company turned out 13，000 machines a
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
year． Some went to customers in Italy， but Olivetti exported more typewriters to other countries．
Camillo’s son， Adriano， started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the
boss． He introduced a standard speed for the production line and he employed technology and
design specialists． The company developed new and better typewriters and then calculators(计算
器)． In 1959 it produced the ELEA computer system． This was the first mainframe(主
机)computer designed and made in Italy．
After Adriano died in 1960， the company had a period of financial problems． Other
companies， especially the Japanese， made faster progress in electronic technology than the
Italian company．
In 1978， Carlo de Benedetti became the new boss． Olivetti increased its marketing and
service networks and made agreements with other companies to design and produce more
advanced office equipment． Soon it became one of the world’s leading companies in information
technology and communications． There are now five independent companies in the Olivetti
group — one for personal computers， one for other office equipment， one for systems and
services， and two for telecommunications．
56．From the text we learn that ．
A．by 1930 Olivetti produced 13，000 typewriters a year
B．Olivetti earned more in the 1960s than in the 1950s
C．some of Olivetti’s 700 staff regularly visited customers in Italy
D．Olivetti set up offices in other countries from the very beginning
57．What was probably the direct result of Olivetti’s falling behind in electronic technology?
A．Adriano’s death．
B．A period of financial problems．
C．Its faster progress．
D．Its agreements with other companies．
58．What do we know about Olivetti?
A．It produced the best typewriter in the world．
B．It designed the world’s first mainframe computer．
C．It exported more typewriters than other companies．
D．It has five independent companies with its head office in Ivrea．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
59．The best title for the text would be ．
A．The Origin of Olivetti
B．The Success of Olivetti
C．The History of Olivetti
D．The Production of Olivetti
B
Have you ever wondered?
1．Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?
It can take five hours to go west-east from New York(NY)to London but seven hours to travel
east-west from London to NY． The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon
known as the jet(喷射)stream． The jet stream is a very high altitude wind which always blows
from the west to the east across the Atlantic． The planes moving at a constant air speed thus go
faster in the west-east direction when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite direction．
2．What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?
Supposing we could magically turn off gravity．Would buildings and other structures(建筑
物)float away? What happened would depend on how strongly the things were attached to the
Earth． The Earth is moving at quite a speed， moving at over a thousand miles per hour． If you
turn something around your head on a string(细绳)，it goes around in a circle until you let go of
the string． Then it flies off in a straight line．"Switching off" gravity would be like letting go of
the string． Things not attached to the Earth would fly off in a straight line． People in buildings
would suddenly shoot upwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling． Most things outside
would fly off into space．
60．What information can we get from the first passage?
A．It is the jet stream that affects how fast airplanes fly．
B．Planes go slower when they are moving with the wind．
C．It takes more time to fly from NY to London than from London to NY．
D．The jet stream always blows from the east to the west across the Atlantic．
61．The word "shoot" underlined in the 2nd passage probably means" "．
A．send for B．move quickly C．come out D．grow quickly
62．It can be inferred that without gravity ．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．buildings and other structures would float away
B．trees and buildings would not so easily fly off
C．something around your head would not float away
D．everything outside buildings would fly off into space
63．Where can we most probably read this text?
A．In a research paper． B．In a short story．
C．In a travel magazine． D．In a student’s book．
C
American cities are similar to other cities around the world： In every country， cities reflect
the values of the culture． American cities are changing， just as American society is changing．
After World War Ⅱ， the population of most large American cities decreased； however，
the population in many Sun Belt cities increased． Los Angeles and Houston are cities where
population shifts(转移)to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society． In
the late 1940s and early 1950s， city residents(居民)became wealthier． They had more children
so they needed more space． They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own
homes． They bought houses in the suburbs(郊区)．
Now things are changing． The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now
adults． Many， unlike their parents， want to live in the cities． They continue to move to Sun
Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest． Many young professionals are moving
back into the city． They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there； or they just
enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offer．
This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits． Countless poor people must
leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments
for sale instead of for rent． In the 1950s， many poor people did not have enough money to move
to the suburbs； now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities．
Only a few years ago， people thought that the older American cities were dying． Some city
residents now see a bright， new future． Others see only problems and conflicts． One thing is
sure： many dying cities are alive again．
64．What does the author think of cities all over the world?
A．They are alive． B．They are hopeless．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．They are similar． D．They are different．
65．Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World War Ⅱ?
A．Because older American cities were dying．
B．Because they were richer and needed more space．
C．Because cities contained the worst parts of society．
D．Because they could hardly afford to live in the city．
66．According to the 4th paragraph， a great many poor people in American cities ．
A．are faced with housing problems
B．are forced to move to the suburbs
C．want to sell their buildings
D．need more money for daily expenses
67．We can conclude from the text that ．
A．American cities are changing for the worse
B．people have different views on American cities
C．many people are now moving from American cities
D．the population is decreasing in older American cities

My father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45． He wrote me a letter and
hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life．
Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter， some of his words have lived in my
heart．One part always stands out．"Right now，you are pretending to be a time killer．But I know
that one day，you will do something great that will set you among the very best．"Knowing that my
dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself．"You will do something great．"He
didn’t know what that would be，and neither did I，but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of
myself，I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask，"Is this what you were talking
about，Dad? Should I keep going?"
A long way from 12 now，I realize he would have been proud when I made any
progress．Lately，though，I’ve come to believe he’d want me to move on to what comes next：
to be proud of，and believe in，somebody else．It’s time to start writing my own letters to my
children．Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had．Our kids don’t hold
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
back because they’re afraid to fail．They’re only afraid of failing us．They don’t worry about being
disappointed．Their fear — as mine was until my father’s letter — is of being a disappointment．
Give your children permission to succeed．They’re waiting for you to believe in them．I
always knew my parents loved me．But trust me：That belief will be more complete，that love will
be more real，and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts：
"Don’t worry；you’ll do something great．"Not having that blessing from their parents may be the
only thing holding them back．
68．We learn from the text that the author ．
A．lost his father when he was young
B．worked hard before he read his father’s letter
C．asked his father’s permission to believe in himself
D．knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do
69．What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph?
A．Children need their parents’ letters．
B．Children are afraid to be disappointed．
C．His children’s fear of failure held them back．
D．His father’s letter removed his fear of failing his parents．
70．Which of the following is true of the author?
A．He got no access to success．
B．He wrote back to his father at 12．
C．He was sure his parents loved him．
D．He once asked his father about the letter．
71．The main purpose of the text is to ．
A．describe children’s thinking
B．answer some questions children have
C．stress the importance of communication
D．advise parents to encourage their children

The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world’s supply of
water．With 97% of the world’s water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture，the worldwide
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
supply of water needs careful management，especially in agriculture．Although the idea of a water
shortage(短缺)seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country，many
of the world’s agricultural industries experience constant water shortages．
Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons，
the costs of water redistribution(重新分配)are very high．Not only is there the cost of the
engineering itself，but there is also an environmental cost to be considered． Where valleys(山
谷)are flooded to create dams，houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed．Besides，water may
flow easily through pipes to fields，but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the
other．Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming
requirements．
This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on
irrigation(灌溉)．In Texas，farmers’ overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of
the water stores．In the Central Valley area of southwestern USA，a huge water engineering project
provided water for farming in dry valleys，but much of the water use has been poorly managed．
Saudi Arabia’s attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge
quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves．Because there is no rainfall in these areas，
such reserves can only decrease，and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run
dry．
72．From the first two paragraphs we learn that ．
A．much of the world’s water is available for use
B．people in high rainfall countries feel lucky
C．the costs of water redistribution should be considered
D．water can be easily carried through pipes across the world
73．Which of the following is true?
A．The water stores in Texas have been reduced by 75%．
B．Most industries in the world suffer from water shortages．
C．The underground water in Saudi Arabia might run out in 50 years．
D．Good management of water use resulted from the project in the Central Valley．
74．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A．Steps to improving water use management．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．Ways to reduce the costs of building dams．
C．Measures to deal with worldwide water shortages．
D．Approaches to handling the pressure on water supply．
75．The text is mainly about ．
A．water supply and increasing population
B．water use management and agriculture
C．water redistribution and wildlife protection
D．water shortages and environmental protection

第四部分 写作(共两节，满分35 分)
第一节 任务型读写(共10 小题；每小题1 分，满分10 分)
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
When difficult people express themselves orally，they generally want at least two things：
they’ve been heard and they’ve been understood．As a good communicator should be a good
listener，five steps are advocated toward good listening．
The first step is cooperating (合作)．How does a difficult person know that you’re listening
and understanding? In fact， it’s through the way you look and sound while he is talking．You may
help him to fully express his thoughts and feelings．You do this by nodding your head in
agreement，making certain sounds of understanding．
When the person begins to repeat what’s been said，it’s a signal of step two：turning back．It
means that you repeat back some words he is using，sending a clear signal that you’re listening
carefully and that you think what he is saying is important．
Having heard what he has to say，the next step is clarifying．At this point，you start to gather
information about what is being communicated．Ask some open-ended questions，which will allow
you to figure out what intention he is hoping to satisfy．
The fourth step is to summarize(概括)what you’ve heard．This allows you to make sure that
both you and the difficult person are on the same page．When you do this，two things happen．First，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
if you’ve missed something，he can fill in the details (细节)． Second，you’ve shown that you’re
making an effort to understand completely．This increases the possibility of gaining cooperation
from him．
Having listened carefully， you’ve now arrived at the point of confirming with the person
that he feels satisfied that his thoughts have been fully voiced． Ask if he feels understood．
When enough sincere listening， questioning， and remembering are brought together，
understanding is usually achieved and a difficult person becomes less difficult and more
cooperative．
Topic
(76) to understand
Reason
Difficult people hope they have been heard and
(77) when they express themselves
(78)
On
listening
◆(79) in agreement and make some sounds of
understanding while a difficult person is speaking．

◆Give a(82) of what the person has said．
◆Confirm that the person gains(83) from speaking his
thoughts．
Result
A difficult person will be(84) to cooperate with if
understanding is achieved．
Comment
You may unlock the doors to difficult people’s (85) after
you listen and understand．

2010 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(安徽卷)
英语答案
1-5 BBABC 6-10 ACAAB 11-15 CACCB 16-20 BCBCA
21．C【解析】考查代词的用法。第二句的意思是"与别人合作真的是你喜欢的事情"。此处
表示的是团队中的其他人，所以用others。
22．C【解析】考查词组辨析。句意：不管你多么看低自己，总有敬重你的人希望他们也(像
你一样)那么高尚。look up to 表示"尊重，敬仰"。A 项表示"摆脱"，B 项表示"与……和
睦相处，进展"，D 项表示"轻视，瞧不起"，都不符合语意。
23．A【解析】考查动词辨析。答语的意思是：老实说，他的歌唱不太吸引我。appeal to 表
示"吸引"。belong to 表示"属于"；refer to 表示"暗指，提到，查阅"；occur to 表示"发生
在，被想起"，都与所给语意不符。
24．C【解析】考查交际用语。根据答语中的反意疑问部分可知前半句是否定句，由此可排
除前两项。C 项的意思是"问一下没关系"，符合语境。
25．C【解析】考查名词辨析。根据前一分句的内容可知她变得让人"辨认"不出来了。
26．A【解析】考查时态。would have done 表示本来要做某事，可是实际上并没有做，是对
过去事情的虚拟，所以这里用一般过去时。
27．B【解析】考查强调句式。语意：女主人用先前从村庄中买的仅仅几样东西做出了如此
美妙的晚餐。被强调部分是from only a few supplies。句中的"that she had bought in the
village"是定语从句，修饰先行词supplies。句子主干为the hostess cooked such a nice
dinner。
28．B【解析】考查时态。问句用的是一般过去时，答语的意思是在此之前已经读过了这本
书，所以用过去完成时。
29．C【解析】考查连词的用法。语意：工程师们如此忙碌，以至于他们没有时间进行户外
体育运动，"即使"他们有这种兴趣。as if 表示"似乎"，不符合语意。
30．D【解析】考查非谓语动词。后半句是现在分词短语作状语，表示伴随。B 表示动作尚
未发生，与前半句内容矛盾。
31．D【解析】考查形容词的用法。后半句提到她用自己的微笑把阳光传播给人们，由此可
知她无忧无虑而且非常乐观。
32．D【解析】杰克把他的父亲描述成一个意志坚强的人，此处表示的是对过去事实的推测，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
所以用must have done 结构。注意句中有一个非限制性定语从句将主句分隔开了。
33．A【解析】考查连词的用法。语意：暂时先用这个房间，一有稍大的房间，我们就提供
给你。此处与句中的for the time being 相呼应。
34．D【解析】考查时态。此处表示的是从过去一直持续到现在的动作或状态，表示的是动
作的延续，故用现在完成进行时。
35．B【解析】考查交际用语。答语的第二句提到说话人想让对方在图书馆处让其下车，由
此可知对方想让说话人搭便车。
36．B【解析】现代化家庭和办公室中的打印机意味着"很少"有手写的东西。
37．A【解析】时常，人们购买钢笔仅仅凭借其"外观"。
38．A【解析】由于人们仅凭外观购买钢笔，"一旦"开始使用，就想知道为什么对它不满意。
39．D【解析】人们常常对购买的钢笔不满意，可是，如果你记住以下几点，买一支称心如
意的钢笔并不"困难"。
40．B【解析】首先，钢笔握在手中应该非常舒服而且"容易"使用。使用钢笔一般不涉及安
全问题，所以D 项错误。
41．C【解析】钢笔的粗细是"决定"舒适度的最重要的特征。其他选项不符合语境。
42．D【解析】此处与上一句中的small 是反义词，且与a fatter pen 相照应，所以用larger。
43．A【解析】如果你的手比较大，手指比较粗，你可能"更喜欢"比较粗大的钢笔。
44．B【解析】上文讲的是钢笔的粗细与其舒适度密切相关，此处是说钢笔的长度也会影响
舒适度，由此可知选B。
45．C【解析】此处讲的是钢笔的长度问题。太"长的"钢笔容易感觉头重脚轻并且不稳定。
46．B【解析】当钢笔接触到纸面时，笔尖应该能够让墨水均匀地流出来。此处allow"允许，
使可能"，符合语境。
47．C【解析】此处的This 指代上一句中提到的内容。
48．D【解析】流畅的笔尖可以让你写出"流畅的"线条。前三项都与上文中提到的均匀出墨
在逻辑上不符。
49．A【解析】笔尖应该能够让钢笔书写的时候均匀地出墨；也应该足够敏感，当钢笔停止
书写被提起的时候，可以"阻止"墨水流出。
50．C【解析】不能阻止墨水"流出"的笔尖可能留下墨滴。此处与本段第46 空格后面的flow
相呼应。
51．B【解析】当你拿起钢笔，再次放下的时候，不能阻止墨水流出的笔尖就会流出墨滴。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
as 表示"当……时候"。
52．D【解析】结合第二段中的"First of all"以及第三段中的"Then"可知此处表示的是先后顺
序，所以选择D 项。
53．D【解析】本句中的but 表示的是转折含义，由此可知前半句叙述的是细线条钢笔的好
处，这样的钢笔也许可以"弥补"拙劣的书法，故用D 项表示“弥补”。A 项表示"使显示
出，出现"；B 项表示"不同于"；C 项表示"打破，分解"，都不符合语境。
54．A【解析】但是，纤细的线条不能引起别人的"注意"，attention 表示"注意"。此处与本
段最后一句中的"gives an impression of confidence and authority"相呼应。
55．B【解析】此处是用打印书信上的手写签名作为例证。A 项表示"至多"，C 项表示" 简
单地说"，D 项表示"故意"，都与所给语境不符。
56．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的内容可判断A 项正确。其他选项文中没
有信息支持。
57．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段可知，它之所以在电子技术方面开始落后，直接原
因是有一段时期财政困难，而在此期间，其他公司尤其是日本在电子技术方面有了较大
的进步。故答案为B 项。
58．D【解析】细节理解题。结合最后一段的最后一句话以及第一段的最后一句话可判断D
项正确。A、C 两项没有信息支持，B 项与第三段最后一句不符。
59．C【解析】主旨大意题。文章按照时间顺序介绍了这个集团的发展史，所以C 项最能概
括文章大意。
60．A【解析】推理判断题。本段中间部分提到出现这种现象的原因在于大气层中的喷射气
流，由此可推断是喷射气流影响了飞机的飞行速度。其他选项明显与文章内容不符。
61．B【解析】猜测词义题。根据上一句中的内容可推测假如没有了引力，楼房中的人将会
突然高速"射"起，故选B。
62．B【解析】推理判断题。本段倒数第三句提到，如果没有了引力，没有附属于地球的东
西将呈直线状飞离，而树和楼房与地球紧密相连，由此可推断它们不容易飞离地球。
63．D【解析】推理判断题。这两篇科普小短文，分别揭示的是神秘的自然现象和对宇宙现
象的假想，妙趣横生，非常适合学生阅读，所以选择D 项。文章没有使用过于深奥的
专业术语，因此A 项不恰当。
64．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段第一句的内容可知，作者认为全世界的城市都非常
相似。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
65．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的内容可知，二战后，城市居民变得更加富裕，
养育了更多的孩子，他们需要更多的空间，所以想居住在郊区。
66．A【解析】推理判断题。由第四段可知，无数穷人总是被迫离开他们的住所，以前他们
没有钱搬到郊区，如今他们没有钱生活在城市中了，由此可知他们面临住房问题。
67．B【解析】推理判断题。最后一段中提到，一些美国城市居民看到的是城市灿烂的未来，
而其他人看到的仅仅是问题和冲突，由此可推测人们对美国城市的观点不同。
68．A【解析】推理判断题。第一段第一句提到作者的父亲自知自己活不到45 岁，第二段
开头部分提到作者当时只有12 岁，由此可推断A 项正确。
69．D【解析】推理判断题。根据本段的内容尤其是该段的最后一句可推测，作者父亲的信
消除了作者不能取悦父母的恐惧。
70．C【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句中的内容可知作者确信父母深爱着自己。
71．D【解析】写作目的题。最后一段是文章主题的升华，根据本段内容可知本文的主要目
的是建议父母鼓励他们的孩子。
72．C【解析】推理判断题。第二段中提到重新分配水的代价非常高，由此可推断这种情况
应该被考虑。第一段最后一句暗含，作者认为生活在降雨多的国家的人非常幸运，而不
是说他们自己感觉幸运，所以B 项错误。
73．C【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的内容可推断沙特阿拉伯的地下水可
能在50 年内消耗殆尽。
74．A【解析】推理判断题。通读全文可知文章开篇点题讲述了全球水资源紧缺，需要采取
完善的管理措施，尤其是在农业方面，紧接着讲述了因管理不当而造成或可能造成的严
重后果，由此可推断文章接下来会讲述如何改善水资源管理，故选A。
75．B【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知文章主要讲述了水资源管理的问题，尤其是在农
业方面的体现，因此可判断B 项正确。
76．Listen/Listening 77．understood 78．Suggestions/Tips/Advice

Which would you give up： TV， cell or Web?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
We are now living in an information age， in which TV， cells and the Web are widely
used．It seems that many people cannot enjoy themselves without them．
However， if I had to give up one of them， I would turn off the TV rather than switch off my
cell or cut off the Internet． I could do without TV because few shows take my fancy and there’re
too many commercials．Besides， most programs on TV are also available elsewhere．
As for cells and the Web， they are more necessary to me． I need a cell to keep in touch with
my friends and family， and almost all information can be gathered on the Internet．

第三部分 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
阅读下面短文，从每篇短文所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night． The morning after the storm，
though， was beautiful： blue skies， warm air and a calm， inviting sea touching the shore gently．
My father realised it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with
him． I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing， but I decided to go all the same． I'm
so glad I did．
On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast， but the harbour
itself was in fairly good shape． After all， it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one
tiny channel to the sea． As we got on board， we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance．
On approaching them， we saw it was a mother whale with her baby． We couldn' t believe it
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
— there aren't any whales along the coast here． The storm must have driven them across the
ocean into the bay， in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive．
The little baby whale — actually as big as our boat — was obviously stuck and could not
move． The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly， making big whirlpools(漩
涡)and waves． "She's trying to help her baby， but on the wrong side， " my father said． At this
point， my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and， heading the boat towards
the baby whale， pushed it gently． With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and
disappeared under water． Then it swam up right beside its mum． They struggled in their
desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction． We
hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel． Slowly， they let us lead
them， sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe — and to give us a trusting look
with those huge eyes． Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea，
the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance．
In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes， but we had been with those wonderful
animals for almost an hour and a half． That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day． Nearly
four decades later，I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea．
51．The author says "I'm so glad I did．"( in Para． 2) because ．
A．he witnessed the whole process of fishing
B．he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea
C．he experienced the rescue of the whales
D．he spent the weekend with his family
52．The harbour survived the storm owing to ．
A．the shape of the harbour
B．the arms of the bay
C．the still water in the channel
D．the long coast line
53．The mother whale failed to help her baby because ．
A．she had stayed in the polluted water for too long
B．the whirlpools she had made were not big enough
C．she had no other whales around to turn to for help
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction
54．What is the theme of the story?
A．Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness．
B．Fishing provides excitement for children．
C．It's necessary to live in harmony with animals．
D．It's vital to protect the environment．
B
For many parents， raising a teenager is like fighting a long war， but years go by without
any clear winner． Like a border conflict between neighboring countries， the parent-teen war is
about boundaries： Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace， but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict． In part， this
is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it． From the parents' point of
view，the only cause of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness．And of course，
the teens see it in exactly the same way， except oppositely． Both feel trapped．
In this article， I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and
parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap． The first no-win situation is quarrels over
unimportant things． Examples include the color of the teen's hair， the cleanliness of the
bedroom， the preferred style of clothing， the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school，
or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends． Second， blaming． The goal of a blaming
battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes
wrong． Third， needing to be right． It doesn't matter what the topic is — politics， the laws of
physics， or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you
are right and the other person is wrong， for both wish to be considered an authority — someone
who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect． Unfortunately， as long as
parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other， they'll continue to fight
these battles forever and never make any real progress．
55．Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?
A．Both can continue for generations．
B．Both are about where to draw the line．
C．Neither has any clear winner．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．Neither can be put to an end．
56．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict．
B．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict．
C．The teens accuse their parents of misleading them．
D．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents．
57．Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ．
A．give orders to the other
B．know more than the other
C．gain respect from the other
D．get the other to behave properly
58．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A．Causes for the parent-teen conflicts．
B．Examples of the parent-teen war．
C．Solutions for the parent-teen problems．
D．Future of the parent-teen relationship．
C
They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories (配饰)． Yet these are not
girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies． A generation which
would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by
those half their age．
Professor Julia Twigg， a social policy expert， said， "Women over 75 are now shopping
for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s． In the 1960s
buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter． It was an expensive item that they would
purchase only every three or four years — now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever
you wish to． Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly．"
Professor Twigg analysed family expenditure (支出)data and found that while the percentage
of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same — at 5 or 6 per cent of
spending — the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply．
The professor said， "Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the 1960s
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East． In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of
the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from， but now almost
all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere． Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are
not spending more money on them．"
Fashion designer Angela Barnard， who runs her own fashion business in London， said
older women were much more affected by celebrity (名流) style than in previous years．
She said， "When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirrea looking attractive
and fashionable in their sixties， they want to follow them． Older women are much more aware
of celebrities． There' s also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change
their look， and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties． When
I started my business a few years ago， my older customers tended to be very rich， but now they
are what I would call ordinary women． My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in
a way she would never have done ten years ago．"
59．Professor Twigg found that， compared with the 1960s， ．
A．the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%
B．the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%
C．people spend 30% less than they did on clothes
D．the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%
60．What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion?
A．They are often ignored by fashion designers．
B．They are now more easily influenced by stars．
C．They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion．
D．They are more interested in clothes because of their old age．
61．It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly
because ．
A．they get tired of things more quickly
B．TV shows teach them how to change their look
C．they are in much better shape now
D．clothes are much cheaper than before
62．Which is the best possible title of the passage?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans
B．The More Fashionable， the Less Expensive
C．Unexpected Changes in Fashion
D．Boom of the British Fashion Industry

This brief book is aimed at high school students， but speaks to anyone learning at any stage
of life．
Its formal， serious style closely matches its content， a school-masterly book on
schooling． The author， W． H． Armstrong， starts with the basics： reading and writing． In
his opinion， reading doesn't just mean recognizing each word on the page； it means taking in the
information， digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and
makes it a part of himself． The goal is to bring the information back to life， not just to treat it as
dead facts on paper from dead trees． Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from
each other； in fact， the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the
text． I've seen it again and again： someone who can' t express an idea after reading a text is just
as ineffective as someone who hasn't read it at all．
Only a third of the book remains after that discussion， which Armstrong devotes to specific
tips for studying languages， math， science and history． He generally handles these topics
thoroughly (透彻地) and equally， except for some weakness in the science and math sections and
a bit too much passion (激情) regarding history． Well， he was a history teacher — if conveyed
only a tenth of his passion to his students， that was a hundred times more than my history
teachers ever got across． To my disappointment， in this part of the book he ignores the arts． As
a matter of fact， they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do， though
the study differs slightly in kind． Although it's commonly believed that the arts can only be
naturally acquired， actually， learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or
mathematics．
My other comment is that the text aged． The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s —
none of the references(参考文献) seem newer than the late 1950s． As a result， the discussion
misses the entire computer age．
These are small points， though， and don't affect the main discussion． I recommend it to
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
any student and any teacher， including the self-taught student．
63．According to Armstrong， the goal of reading is to ．
A．gain knowledge and expand one's view
B．understand the meaning between the lines
C．express ideas based on what one has read
D．get information and keep it alive in memory
64．The author of the passage insists that learning the arts ．
A．requires great efforts
B．demands real passion
C．is less natural than learning maths
D．is as natural as learning a language
65．What is a shortcoming of Armstrong's work according to the author?
A．Some ideas are slightly contradictory．
B．There is too much discussion on studying science．
C．The style is too serious．
D．It lacks new information．
66．This passage can be classified as ．
A．an advertisement B．a book review
C．a feature story D．a news report

Have you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming may have made our
climate more mild， many animals are still hibernating (冬眠)． It's too bad that humans can't
hibernate． In fact， as a species， we almost did．
Apparently， at times in the past， peasants in France liked a semi-state of human
hibernation． So writes Graham Robb， a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of
the French peasants． As soon as the weather turned cold， people all over France shut themselves
away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end．
In line with this， Jeff Warren， a producer at CBC Radio's The Current， tells us that the
way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial (人造的) lighting and the
electric bulb．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages， they noticed something referred
to as "first sleep"， which was not clarified， though． Now scientists are telling us our ancestors
most likely slept in separate periods． The business of eight hours' uninterrupted sleep is a modern
invention．
In the past， without the artificial light of the city to bathe in， humans went to sleep when it
became dark and then woke themselves around midnight． The late night period was known as
"The Watch"． It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals， although many of
them simply moved around or visited family and neighbours．
According to some sleep researchers， a short period of insomnia (失眠) at midnight is not a
disorder． It is normal． Humans can experience another state of consciousness around
their sleeping， which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in
the morning． This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people． The
impressive inventor， Thomas Edison， used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas．
Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous， as anxiety may set in． Medical
science doesn't help much in this case． It offers us medicines for a full night's continuous sleep，
which sounds natural； however， according to Warren's theory， it is really the opposite of what
we need．
67．The example of the French peasants shows the fact that ．
A．people might become lazy as a result of too much sleep
B．there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habits
C．people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weather
D．winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end
68．The late night was called "The Watch" because it was a time for people ．
A．to set traps to catch animals
B．to wake up their family and neighbours
C．to remind others of the time
D．to guard against possible dangers
69．What does the author advise people to do?
A．Sleep in the way animals do．
B．Consult a doctor if they can't sleep．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．Follow their natural sleep rhythm．
D．Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern．
70．What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A．To give a prescription for insomnia．
B．To urge people to sleep less．
C．To analyze the sleep pattern of modern people．
D．To throw new light on human sleep．

21．C【解析】考查名词辨析。foods 后面的定语从句that suit all tastes and pockets(适合各种
口味和消费层次)说明该饭店的食物多种多样，所以，应该用range。而A 项division 是
"划分，分开"的意思；B 项area 是"区域"的意思，D 项circle 则是"圆圈，环"的意思，
显然A、B 和D 项不合题意。
22．A【解析】考查名词辨析。句意：地震之后，当地政府首先做的事情是为无家可归的家
庭提供住所。既然是"无家可归"，所以要解决的应该是"住所"，A 项合适。B 项是"职业
"；C 项是"设备"；D 项是"家具"，后三项显然不是灾民所急需的。
23．B【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据语意可以看出说话人想表达的是"个人的"观点，而不
是A 项"私人的"，C 项"独特的"和D 项"不同的"。

原因，那么犯的错误也就值得了。A 项是"有利的"；B 项是"宝贵的"；C 项是"必要的，
重要的"；D 项是"值得的"。只有D 项符合题意。
25．B【解析】考查形容词辨析。句意：如果我发现某人看上去像嫌疑犯，我的即时反应就
是报警。A 项"体力的，物理的"；B 项"立即的，即刻的，直接的"；C 项"敏感的"；D

的。A 项merely 是"仅仅，只是"的意思；B 项mostly 是"主要地，大部分"的意思；C 项
rarely 是"很少，难得"的意思；D 项nearly 是"几乎"的意思。只有A 项符合题意。
27．D【解析】考查动词辨析。句意：责任是人们期望你按照社会习俗、法律或宗教所实施
的一种行为或行为过程。选项中四个动词都可以跟动词不定式作其宾语补足语，但是意
义差别很大。A 项persuade sb． to do sth．是"说服某人做某事"；B 项request sb． to do
sth．是"要求某人做某事"；C 项instruct sb． to do sth．是"指示某人做某事"；D 项expect
sb． to do sth． 是"期望某人做某事"。根据句意，D 项最合适。
28．C【解析】考查动词辨析。句意：就像一个人穿的衣服，吃的食物，一起打发时间的朋

了。look up to 是"尊敬，敬仰"的意思；live up to 是"符合，达到预期标准，不辜负……
的希望"的意思；keep up with 是"跟上，赶上"的意思；come up with 是"提出，想出"的
意思。B 项符合题意。
30．D【解析】考查介词短语。句中favors 是指官员为他人做的事情，them 指people。句意：
对于一个公务员来说，为人们做点好事就向人们要钱要物是不合法的。A 项in preference
to 是"优先于"的意思；B 项in place of 是"代替"的意思；C 项in agreement with 是"与……
一致"的意思；D 项in exchange for 是"交换"的意思。显然，D 项符合题意。
31．D【解析】根据下文"It had been a year since Susan became blind．"可知Susan 上了车后，
因为看不见，用手"摸"座位，寻找空位。
32．C【解析】上一句已经说Susan became blind，也就是说，Susan 陷入了一个完全黑暗的
世界。
33．B【解析】sink into 表示"陷入……之中"，而run into 是"偶然遇见，总计为，与……相
撞"的意思；jump into 是"跳入"的意思；step into 是"步入，走进"的意思。根据上下文语
境尤其是后文的hopelessness"绝望"，可以确定B 项为答案。
34．B【解析】上文说Susan 陷入绝望之中，本句说明其丈夫的行为，根据后面to use every
possible means to help his wife 可以确定是"决心"要这么做。
35．A【解析】由Susan felt ready 可知，Susan 最终从失明的阴影中走出，准确"回去"工作。
从"how would she get there? She used to take the bus"可以看出她还是做她出事以前做的
那份工作，所以用return。
36．D【解析】对Susan 来说"独自在这个城市走动"是一件"可怕的"事情，因为她的眼睛看
不见，不方便，而不是A 项"疲劳的"，B 项"吃惊的"，C 项"沮丧的"。
37．A【解析】根据上文to use every possible means to help his wife 和后面的ride the bus with
Susan each morning and evening 可知，她丈夫"自愿"陪她坐公交车上下班。
38．C【解析】根据空格前后之间的逻辑关系可知此处是"直到"的意思，也就是说他陪伴Susan
乘公交车上下班直到Susan 能够自己做这件事。
39．C【解析】上文已经提到ride the bus with Susan，所以此处是指"陪伴"，用accompanied。
40．D【解析】由于Susan 丧失视力，她丈夫教她依靠别的"感官"，尤其是听觉来判断事情。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
表达人的感官时，用senses。
41．B【解析】既然是突然失明，Susan 所面临的一切对她来说就是一个全新的"环境"，她
要学会适应这种新的环境。
42．A【解析】从上下文可以看出，Susan 决定"自己出行"，所以选on her own。
43．D【解析】从下一句的"眼中充满对丈夫感激的泪水"和"她要独自出行"可以判断，Susan
此时"紧紧地"拥抱她丈夫，既表达了感激，又表达了她的信心和意志。
44．B【解析】既然是独自出行，那么Susan 和她丈夫就是"各走各的"，故用separate。
45．D【解析】前一句"Each day went perfectly"和后一句"She was doing it!"说明Susan 进行得
很顺利，那么应该是兴奋紧紧地控制住了Susan，所以用take hold of。 take charge of 是
"负责"的意思；take place of 是"代替"的意思；take advantage of 是"利用"的意思。
46．A【解析】上文说Susan 能够一个人去上班了，那么一个周五的早晨，Susan"像往常一
样"乘公交车去上班。

说。

someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect．"可确定C 项
是正确的。
58．C【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知，本文要介绍家长与孩子间没有赢家的
三种情况，并提出走出困境的建议。而第三段仅介绍了三种情况，因此第四段应介绍解

第二节 短文写作
【范文赏读】
I still remember how nervous I was on my first day in the new school three years ago， when
I found it difficult to follow my teacher in the first English class． The teacher spoke English
throughout the class， which was totally different from the lessons I had taken before．
In the morning class the next day， the English teacher came to me while I was reading the
text aloud as other students． After listening to me for a while， she gave me a big smile and said
she liked my voice very much． The smile shone on the whole day and the following days． A
week later， I volunteered to take charge of English study in my class．
Thanks to the comforting smile in my first morning class， I began to be confident．

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951， her mother told her，"Be sure and take a
typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out， you'll have something to rely
on．"Mary responded in typical teenage fashion． From that moment on， "the very last thing I
ever thought about doing was taking a typing course，"she recalls．
The show business thing worked out， of course． In her career， Mary won many
awards． Only recently， when she began to write Growing Up Again， did she regret ignoring her
mom．"I don't know how to use a computer，"she admits．
Unlike her 1995 autobiography， After All， her second book is less about life as an
award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes(糖尿病)．All the money from the book
is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation(JDRF)，an organization she serves as
international chairman．"I felt there was a need for a book like this，"she says．"I didn't want to
lecture， but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and
do our part in managing the disease．"
But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches． In her book， she describes that awful
day， almost 40 years ago， when she received two pieces of life-changing news． First， she had
lost the baby she was carrying and second， tests showed that she had diabetes． In a childlike act，
she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts(甜甜圈)． Years would pass before
she realized she had to grow up—again—and take control of her diabetes，not let it control
her． Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit， overcome her addiction to
alcohol， and begin to follow a balanced diet．
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance
floor， she refuses to fall into self-pity．"Everybody on earth can ask，‘why me?’about something
or other，"she insists．"It doesn't do any good． No one is immune(免疫的)to heartache pain， and
disappointments． Sometimes we can make things better by helping others． I've come to realize
the importance of that as I've grown up this second time． I want to speak out and be as helpful as
I can be．"
61．Why did Mary feel regretful?

People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing
facial expressions—and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why．
Rachael Jack， University of Glasgow researcher， said that rather than scanning evenly(均
匀地)across a face as Westerners do， Easterners fix their attention on the eyes．
"We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial
expressions，"Jack said．"Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure， whereas
Easterners favor the eyes and neglect(忽略)the mouth．"
According to Jack and her colleagues， the discovery shows that human communication of
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
emotion is more complex than previously believed． As a result， facial expressions that had been
considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural
situations．
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by
recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they
observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories：happy， sad， surprised，
fearful， disgusted， angry， or neutral． They compared how accurately participants read those
facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies．
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made
significantly more errors than Westerners did． "The cultural difference in eye movements that
they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions，" Jack said．"Our
data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion， Easterners use the
eyes more and mouth less．"
In short， the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human
emotion． From here on， examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills
will help our understanding of human emotion． Otherwise， when it comes to communicating
emotions across cultures， Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation．
66．The discovery shows that Westerners ．
A．pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth
B．consider facial expressions universally reliable
C．observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways
D．have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions
67．What were the people asked to do in the study?
A．To make a face at each other．
B．To get their faces impressive．
C．To classify some face pictures．
D．To observe the researchers'faces．
68．What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A．The participants in the study．
B．The researchers of the study．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．The errors made during the study．
D．The data collected from the study．
69．In comparison with Westerners， Easterners are likely to ．
A．do translation more successfully
B．study the mouth more frequently
C．examine the eyes more attentively
D．read facial expressions more correctly
70．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．The Eye as the Window to the Soul
B．Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions
C．Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills
D．How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding
Part Ⅳ Writing (45 marks)
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．
An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and
classroom learning． It can last anywhere from one to six years， but four years is typical for
most． An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the
practical skills of a career from a journeyman—someone who has done the job for many
years． The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the
theoretical skills the career requires． Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking．
One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything． The
companies that hire them pay for school． What's more， it offers apprentices an"earn while you
learn"opportunity． They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman， and the pay increases
gradually as they move further along in the job and studies． Near the end of the apprenticeship，
their wages are usually 90 percent of what a journeyman would receive． Apprenticeship also
pays off for employers． It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from．
Despite the advantages， apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend
classes at night， which leaves little time for anything else． Sometimes， they might be laid
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
off(下岗)if business for the employers is slow．
Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen， they receive a
nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again． Some
journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with； others go on to
different companies or become self-employed contractors．
Section B (10 marks)
Directions：Read the following passage，Answer the questions according to the information
given in the passage．
Secret Santas
On Christmas morning， Linda wakes up， and tries to imagine the wide-eyed surprise of
children in another household as they unwrap the presents she carefully chose for them． Linda
has never met the children， but that's all part of the joy of giving as secret Santas， she says．
"It's an amazing feeling to buy gifts on an anonymous(匿名的)basis，"says Linda．"It
brings a whole new meaning to the holidays．"
Linda and Tony are an American couple living in Toronto， Canada， and Linda did
charitable work as a member of the American Women's Club of Toronto． As the name suggests，
members are U．S． citizens living in Toronto， who join together for fellowship and community
service．
To find her"adopted"family， Linda goes to the local schools and requests a wish list for a
family that's struggling to survive．Last year she helped a single mother with three children． The
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
mother works as a cleaning lady in a nursing home．
"The list is always heartbreaking．They have an opportunity to ask for anything and do just
the opposite， asking for basic clothes or simple toys，"she says．"We always buy the kids a new
winter coat， hats， and gloves．"She also buys gifts for the parents．
Last year Linda asked the mother for a second wish list —one that didn't include the
basics． "Every child should have a Christmas that sticks with them for a lifetime．"She purchased
iPods for the two older children and a video game system for the youngest．"I have learned a very
valuable lesson in all of this，"says Linda．"Pay attention to what's going on in your own backyard
— no matter where you live．"
The joy of giving as secret Santas is much sweeter when the gift is anonymous．

略) the mouth 以及第六段第一句可知东方人在观察人的面部表情时更注重眼睛而忽视
嘴巴。

要讲东西方人对面部表情的辨别有差异，东亚人比欧洲人在辨别人的面部表情上通常困
难更大。所以B 项作标题更合适。

Today I'll talk about our English club． Our English club was set up two months ago． Now
we have members of 25． We meet once a week on Saturday afternoon． So far we have
conducted a variety of activities on English learning， such as watching English films， holding a
Christmas party and getting together with foreign students． Last week we held an English
story-telling competition． We required that the entries be original and interesting and be
presented in English within five minutes． Every member took an active part in the activity． Two
foreign English teachers were invited to act as judges． At last Li Bing won the first place． Many
members said the activity benefited them in many ways． Not only did it improve their spoken
English， but also it brought them much fun． They hope many such activities can be held．

Another person's enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have
achieved． That person was my stepmother．
I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia． My father 36 me
to her with these words： "I would like you to meet the fellow who is 37 for being the
worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 38 than
tomorrow morning．"
My stepmother walked over to me， 39 my head slightly upward， and looked me
right in the eye． Then she looked at my father and replied， "You are 40 ． This
is not the worst boy at all， 41 the smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet (释放的
途径) for his enthusiasm．"
That statement began a(n) 42 between us． No one had ever called me
smart． My family and neighbors had built me up in my 43 as a bad boy． My
stepmother changed all that．
She changed many things． She 44 my father to go to a dental school， from
which he graduated with honors． She moved our family into the county seat， where my father's
career could be more 45 and my brothers and I could be better 46 ．
When I turned fourteen， she bought me a secondhand 47 and told me that she
believed that I could become a writer． I knew her enthusiasm， I 48 it， and I saw
how it had already improved our lives． I accepted her 49 and began to write for local

Carnegie and received the task which became my life's work later． I wasn't the 51
beneficiary (受益者)． My father became the 52 man in town． My brothers and
stepbrothers became a physician， a dentist， a lawyer， and a college president．
What power 53 has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one's
purpose and is 54 strengthened by faith， it becomes an irresistible (不可抗拒的)
force which poverty and temporary defeat can never 55 ．

第三部分 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Usually， when your teacher asks a question， there is only one correct answer． But there
is one question that has millions of correct answers． That question is "What's your name?"
Everyone gives a different answer， but everyone is correct．
Have you ever wondered about people's names? Where do they come from? What do they
mean?
People's first names， or given names， are chosen by their parents． Sometimes the name
of a grandparent or other member of the family is used． Some parents choose the name of a
well-known person． A boy could be named George Washington Smith； a girl could be named
Helen Keller Jones．
Some people give their children names that mean good things． Clara means "bright" ；
Beatrice means "one who gives happiness"； Donald means "world ruler"； Leonard means "as
brave as a lion"．
The earliest last names， or surnames， were taken from place names． A family with the
name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook (小溪)； someone who was called Longstreet
probably lived on a long， paved road． The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest．
Other early surnames came from people's occupations． The most common occupational
name is Smith， which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals． In the past，
smiths were very important workers in every town and village． Some other occupational names
are： Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart；Potter — a person who made pots and pans．
The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native
village． The Carpenter's great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture．
Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin， or their size， or their
special abilities． When there were two men who were named John in the same village， the John
with the gray hair probably became John Gray． Or the John who was very tall could call himself
John Tallman． John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a
fast runner or a good dancer．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name． English-speaking
people added -s or -son． The Johnsons are descendants of John； the Roberts family's ancestor
was Robert． Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O． Perhaps all of the MacDonnells
and the McDonnells and the O'Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell．
56．Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?
A．Places where people lived． B．People's characters．
C．Talents that people possessed． D．People's occupations．
57．According to the passage， the ancestors of the Potter family most probably ．
A．owned or drove a cart B．made things with metals
C．made kitchen tools or containers D．built houses and furniture
58．Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born
son to become a world leader， the baby might be named ．
A．Beatrice Smith B．Leonard Carter
C．George Longstreet D．Donald Greenwood
59．The underlined word "descendants" in the last paragraph means a person's ．
A．later generations B．friends and relatives
C．colleagues and partners D．later sponsors
B
It is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits
and dangers of wolves． Some groups believe wolves should be killed． Other people believe
wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness (荒野)．
For Killing Wolves
In Alaska， the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago， because hunters were killing
hundreds of them for sport． However， laws were established to protect the wolves from
sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur． So the wolf population has greatly
increased． Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply．
A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family． People in the wilderness also hunt deer for
food． Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes
in the wilderness plant life． When the deer can't find enough food， they die．
If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer， their prey (猎物) will disappear some
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
day． And the wolves will， too． So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance
the ecology． If we killed more wolves， we would save them and their prey from dying
out． We'd also save some farm animals．
In another northern state， wolves attack cows and chickens for food． Farmers want the
government to send biologists to study the problem． They believe it necessary to kill wolves in
some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population．
Against Killing Wolves
If you had lived long ago， you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous
wolf． According to most stories， hungry wolves often kill people for food． Even today， the
stories of the "big bad wolf" will not disappear．
But the fact is wolves are afraid of people， and they seldom travel in areas where there is a
human smell． When wolves eat other animals， they usually kill the very young， or the sick and
injured． The strongest survive． No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if
the weak members had lived． That has always been a law of nature．
Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves， we say it is nonsense! Researchers
have found wolves and their prey living in balance． The wolves keep the deer population from
becoming too large， and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life．
The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people． Even if
wilderness land is not used directly for human needs， the wolves can't always find enough
food． So they travel to the nearest source， which is often a farm． Then there is danger． The
"big bad wolf"has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next．
60．According to the passage， some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the
following reasons EXCEPT that ．
A．there are too many wolves
B．they kill large numbers of deer
C．they attack cows and chickens for food
D．they destroy the wilderness plant life
61．Some people are against killing wolves because ．
A．wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wilderness
B．there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．there are too many deer in the wilderness
D．wolves are afraid of people and never attack people
62．According to those against killing wolves，when wolves eat other animals， ．
A．they never eat strong and healthy ones
B．they always go against the law of nature
C．they might help this kind of animals survive in nature
D．they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness
63 ．The last sentence "And everyone knows what happens next" implies that in such
cases ．
A．farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped away
B．wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill them
C．wolves will find enough food sources on farms
D．people will leave the areas where wolves can live

Imagine， one day， getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
only a couple of hours， and then， after a full day of work， going back home to Beijing and
having dinner there．
Sounds unusual， doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic， with the development of China's
high-speed railway system． And that's not all． China has an even greater high-speed railway
plan — to connect the country with Southeast Asia， and eventually Eastern Europe．
China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10
to 15 years， eventually reaching London and Singapore．
China has proposed three such projects． The first would possibly connect Kunming with
Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia． Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan
and Uzbekistan， and possibly to Germany． The third would start in the northeast and go north
through Russia and then into Western Europe．
If China's plan for the high-speed railway goes forward， people could zip over from London
to Beijing in under two days．
The new system would still follow China's high-speed railway standard． And the trains
would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour， almost as fast as some airplanes．
China's bullet train (高速客车) ， the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou， already has the
world's fastest average speed． It covers 1，069 kilometers in about three hours．
Of course， there are some technical challenges to overcome． There are so many issues that
need to be settled， such as safety， rail gauge (轨距)， maintenance of railway tracks． So， it's
important to pay attention to every detail．
But the key issue is really money． China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on
domestic railway expansion．
China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital
investment． Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development．
It'll be a win-win project． For other countries， the railway network will definitely create
more opportunities for business， tourism and so on， not to mention the better communication
among those countries．
For China， such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some
much-needed resources， but would also help develop China's far west． We foresee that in the
coming decades， millions of people will migrate to the western regions， where the land is empty
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
and resources unused． With high-speed trains， people will set up factories and business centers
in the west once and for all． And they'll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries．
67．China's new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because ．
A．China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions
B．China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways
C．China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries
D．the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation， business and
tourism
68．According to the passage， the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan
is ．
A．technical issues
B．safety of the system
C．financial problems
D．maintenance of railway tracks
69．Which of the following words best describes the author's attitude towards China's high-speed
railway plan?
A．Critical． B．Reserved． C．Doubtful． D．Positive．
70．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．New Railway Standards B．Big Railway Dreams
C．High-speed Bullet Trains D．International Railway Network

For more than twenty years scientists have been seeking to understand the mystery of the
"sixth sense" of direction． By trying out ideas and solving problems one by one， they are now
getting closer to one answer．
One funny idea is that animals might have a built-in compass (指南针)．
Our earth itself is a big magnet (磁体)． So a little magnetic needle that swings freely lines
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
itself with the big earth magnet to point north and south． When people discovered that idea about
a thousand years ago and invented the compass， it allowed sailors to navigate (航海) on ocean
voyages， even under cloudy skies．
Actually the idea of the living compass came just from observing animals in nature．
Many birds migrate twice a year between their summer homes and winter homes． Some of
them fly for thousands of kilometers and mostly at night． Experiments have shown that some
birds can recognize star pattern． But they can keep on course even under cloudy skies． How can
they do that?
A common bird that does not migrate but is great at finding its way home is the homing
pigeon．Not all pigeons can find their way home． Those that can are very good at it， and they
have been widely studied．
One interesting experiment was to attach little magnets to the birds'heads to block their
magnetic sense — just as a loud radio can keep you from hearing a call to dinner． On sunny days，
that did not fool the pigeons． Evidently they can use the sun to tell which way they are
going． But on cloudy days， the pigeons with magnets could not find their way． It was as if the
magnets had blocked their magnetic sense．
Similar experiments with the same kind of results were done with honeybees． These insects
also seem to have a special sense of direction．
In spite of the experiments ， the idea of an animal compass seemed pretty
extraordinary． How would an animal get the magnetic stuff for a compass?
An answer came from an unexpected source． A scientist was studying bacteria that live in
the mud of ponds and marshes． He found accidentally little rod-like bacteria that all swam
together in one direction — north．
Further study showed that each little bacterium had a chain of dense particles inside， which
proved magnetic． The bacteria had made themselves into little magnets that could line up with
the earth's magnet．
The big news was that a living thing， even a simple bacterium， can make magnetite． That
led to a search to see whether animals might have it． By using a special instrument called
magnetometer， scientists were able to find magnetite in bees and birds， and even in fish． In
each animal， except for the bee， the magnetic stuff was always in or closer to the brain．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Thus， the idea of a built-in animal compass began to seem reasonable．

2010 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(江苏卷)
英语答案
1-5 BBABC 6-10 ACAAB 11-15 CACCB 16-20 BCBCA
21．A【解析】考查冠词的用法。语意：这里的游客被各行各业的人努力建设一个崭新的江
苏的事实深深感动了。前一个空处，people 本身是集合名词，一般不与冠词连用；后一
个空处指的是一个崭新的江苏省，是泛指。
22．B【解析】考查名词辨析。这名医生治疗心脏病医术高超，而且从不收病人的礼物，自
然享有良好的"声誉"。A 项表示"期望"，C 项表示"贡献"，D 项表示"文明"，都不符合
语意。
23．D【解析】考查动词的时态。答话人叙述的是现在的事实，再结合答语中的时间状语可
知答话人从过去到现在一直在粉刷房子，而且还要持续下去，所以用现在完成进行时。
24．C【解析】考查动词辨析。语意：在上海世博会开放当天，成千上万的外国人被"吸引"
到此处。attend 表示"参加"，是及物动词，不必加to，而且要用主动形式，所以A 项错
误；B 项表示"达到"，D 项be attached to 表示"附属于"，都不符合语境。
25．B【解析】考查情态动词。此处shall 用于第二人称表示说话人的许诺。
26．C【解析】考查动词词组辨析。语意：试验排除了那个星球上存在生命的可能，但是这
并不意味着其他星球上没有生命。rule out 表示"排除"。A 项表示"查明"，B 项表示"指
出"，D 项表示"实行"，都与所给语境不符。
27．D【解析】考查交际用语。根据答语的后一句可知答话人认为我们的乒乓球队比他们的
更强，所以他们的乒乓球队绝不可能在即将到来的亚运会上获得第一名，by no means
表示"绝不"。C 项用来回答别人的感谢，意为"不客气"。
28．A【解析】考查非谓语动词。语意：这位退休老人把他大部分的积蓄捐赠给了在玉树地
震中被毁坏的那所学校，使学生得以重返教室。此处是-ing 分词短语作状语
29．B【解析】考查词组辨析。语意：迄今为止我们为建设低碳经济已经做出了很多，但是
远不理想。我们必须更加努力。far from 表示"远非；一点也不"。A 项表示"仅次于"；C
项表示"离开，出于"，一般与名词或代词连用；D 项表示"因为"。
30．C【解析】考查动词的时态。结合问句中的时态以及答语后半句中的时态可知答语前半
句表示的是过去的过去，所以用过去完成时。
31．B【解析】考查习语。答话人建议说话人不要仅仅凭借自己的力量，而应该请教别人，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
由此可知选B 项"两人智慧胜一人"。A 项表示"英雄所见略同"，C 项表示"双鸟在林不
如一鸟在手"，D 项表示"三思而后行"，都与所给语境不符。
32．D【解析】考查定语从句的关系词。"the walls of which are painted light green"是定语从
句，修饰先行词cafe。which 引导非限制性定语从句，代指cafe，在从句中作介词of
的宾语。由于关系代词前有介词，所以A 项错误。
33．A【解析】考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空处所在句子为倒装句，the rest of our guests
作主语，谓语动词要用复数形式；此处叙述的又是现在的事实，所以用一般现在时。come
用于进行时通常用来表示按照计划或安排将要发生的动作，因此D 项不恰当。
34．B【解析】考查虚拟语气。would rather 后的宾语从句的谓语动词用过去式，表示对现在
或将来事实的虚拟。
35．A【解析】考查名词性从句。说话人在星期天喜欢整天把自己关在家中听音乐，答话人
对这一点不赞同。答语中"where I don't agree"是表语从句，表示的是抽象概念。假如选
择D 项，agree 后需要加上介词。
36．D【解析】根据作者的父亲所说的话可知他是在把作者"介绍"给作者的继母。
37．A【解析】在父亲的眼中，作者不是一个好孩子，而以本地最坏的孩子"著称"。distinguished"
著名的"。
38．B【解析】父亲认为作者是本地最坏的孩子，显然不会轻而易举地接受继母，不"迟"于
明天早上就会向她扔石头。
39．C【解析】根据本段后半部分继母的话可知她不赞同作者父亲的观点，而是非常欣赏作
者，认为作者只是没有把潜能发挥出来，因此表现出来的是爱意，所以是轻轻地"扶起"
作者的头。A 项表示"拉"；B 项表示"摇动"；C 项表示"扶起，抬起"；D 项表示"倾斜"。
40．C【解析】根据引号中的话可知她认为作者父亲的观点是"错误的"。
41．A【解析】他根本不是最坏的孩子，而是还没有找到释放热情的途径的最聪明的孩子。
本句是"not．．．but．．．"结构，表示"不是……而是……"。
42．B【解析】作者没有想到继母会如此欣赏自己，自然一开始就与她建立了"友谊"。两个
人本来就是母子关系，所以D 项不恰当。
43．D【解析】作者的家人和邻居已经让作者在脑海中形成了根深蒂固的观念，认为自己是
一个坏男孩。
44．B【解析】根据本句后半部分的内容可知她"说服"了作者的父亲去上牙医学校。
45．A【解析】她搬家的目的是想让作者父亲的事业更加"成功"。最后两项的意思基本相同，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
可排除。
46．C【解析】根据下一段开头部分提到的作者的年龄可推测她搬家也是为了让孩子更好地
"受教育"。
47．D【解析】她相信作者可以成为一名作家，结合选项，继母应该是给作者买了一台二手
"打字机"。
48．D【解析】她发现了作者的写作才能并加以鼓励，作者自然对此非常"感激"。
49．A【解析】作者接受了她的"信念"。此处与该段第一句话中的believed 相呼应。
50．B【解析】上文叙述的是"写作"的事情，再根据空处前面的"the same kind of"可知选B
项。
51．C【解析】根据后面两句话的内容可知作者不是"唯一的"受益者。
52．B【解析】上文提到继母说服了作者的父亲去上牙医学校，并举家搬迁以便让他的事业
更加成功，由此可推断作者的父亲成为了城镇中"最富有的"人。
53．A【解析】所有的这一切都是"热情"的力量!文章中多次出现的关键词enthusiasm 也是答
案提示。
54．D【解析】当热情释放的能量来支撑一个人的目标，并且这一能量"不断地"被信仰强化
时，它就会产生不可抗拒的力量。
55．B【解析】热情所释放出来的巨大能量是贫穷和暂时的失败所不能"匹敌"的。
56．B【解析】细节理解题。第五至八段从住所、职业和特殊能力方面叙述了与姓氏相关的
内容。姓氏与人们的性格的关系文章中没有内容体现。
57．C【解析】推理判断题。第六段最后提到姓氏是Potter 的人可能制作锅、盘之类的东西，
再结合第七段的内容可推测这种姓氏的祖先很可能制作厨房用具或容器。
58．D【解析】推理判断题。结合第五段最后一句以及第四段中的"Donald means ‘world ruler'"
可推断D 项正确。
59．A【解析】猜测词义题。结合本段前两句的内容可推测此词的意思是"后代；子孙"。
60．D【解析】细节理解题。D 项在"For Killing Wolves"部分没有信息支持。另外，"Against
Killing Wolves"部分的第三段中的"and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life"也
表明此项不正确。
61．A【解析】推理判断题。根据"Against Killing Wolves"部分第三段中的内容可推测一些人
之所以反对屠杀狼是因为它们有助于保持荒野的生态平衡。D 项中的"never attack
people"显然不正确。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
62．C【解析】推理判断题。"Against Killing Wolves"部分第二段中提到，狼捕杀的通常是年
幼、生病或者受伤的动物，让最强壮的动物得以存活。如果允许老弱病残生存，没有哪
一种动物可以在经历了数世纪后依然能够存活下来，这是自然界的规律，由此可推测C
项正确。
63．B【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后的内容可知，当狼总是找不到食物被逼上绝路时，
它们就会来到最近的农场寻觅食物，再结合"Against Killing Wolves"部分第一段中的内
容可推测这暗示着人狼大战。
64．D【解析】推理判断题。根据"PERSONAL EXEMPTIONS(免税) ON PURCHASES"可知
个人购买东西免税，再结合"CANADIANS RETURNING TO CANADA"中的内容可知加
拿大人出境7 天以上可免税750 加元，由此该加拿大人回到本国最低收税是50 加元，
D 项正确。
65．A【解析】推理判断题。根据"AMERICANS RETURNING TO THE US"中的第二个标准
可知48 小时及以上时间免收800 美元的个人税，剩余的800 美元的购物税则按3%征
收，由此可推断他需要支付的购物税是24 美元。
66．C【解析】推理判断题。他们是驾车过境，根据"LAND OR SEA TO THE US(INCLUDING
FERRIES)"部分的内容可知答案。
67．B【解析】归纳概括题。结合最后两段中的内容可知新制订的高铁计划是双赢工程，无
论是对外国还是对中国而言，都可以从中受益，由此可推断B 项正确。
68．C【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段和倒数第四段中的内容可知最大的挑战是资金
问题。
69．D【解析】作者态度题。结合最后一段的内容可推测作者对这个宏伟计划满怀信心。前
三项分别表示"批评的" "保守的" "怀疑的"，都与文章内容不符。
70．B【解析】主旨大意题。文章首先提出了一个大胆的设想，接着详细叙述了宏伟蓝图的
具体内容，最后又展望美好前景，所以B 项最能概括文章大意。
71．swinging 72．Based 73．migration 74．even
75．experiments/tests/study/research 76．block 77．cloudy 78．discovery
79．north 80．brain(s)
第五部分 书面表达
【范文赏读】
Dear teachers and schoolmates， it's a great pleasure for me to be here today and share my
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
experience of learning English with you． I'm interested in English， and hope to be an interpreter
in the future． Naturally it's very important for me to learn English well． As everybody knows，
vocabulary is an important part of language， just like bricks in a building． I usually memorize
twenty new words a day and put them to use whenever possible． After class， I often listen to
English programs on TV and on the radio． Besides， I've learned a lot from the Internet and other
sources．
Now，I'd like to make some suggestions on English teaching and learning in our
school．Firstly， we should be given more opportunities to use what we've learned in order to have
a better grasp of it． Secondly， I hope our teachers can recommend more interesting books and
magazines and give us more free time to read them． Finally， I suggest we have more English
activities， such as English contests and festivals．
Thank you for listening．

"Thank you very much， dear，" replied the old lady． "Don't worry — I'll 48 in

The 49 moved up and the car started off． A little way ahead， it 50 and
with headlights flashing， it drove past Alice．But then，something 51 happened． The

A
Andy rode slowly on his way to school， day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
had promised him． He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was
unaware of everything else around him．
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present． He came to a stop and looked
curiously up to the heavens． What he saw shocked and terrified him． A huge swarm of bees
filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him．
With no time to waste， Andy sped off in the opposite direction， riding furiously — but
without knowing how to escape the swarm． With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping
furiously， he sped down the rough road． As the bees came closer， his panic increased． Andy
knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇)． The last sting had landed him in hospital — and that
was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days． Suddenly， his
father’s words came to him． "When you are in a tight situation， don’t panic． Use your brain
and think your way out of it．"
On a nearby hill， he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the
Nelson family home． "Bees don’t like smoke，" he thought． "They couldn’t get into the house．"
Andy raced towards the Nelson house， but the bees were gaining ground． Andy knew he could
not reach the house in time． He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon．
Suddenly， out of the corner of his eyes， he spotted a small dam used by Mr． Nelson to
irrigate his vegetable garden． Off his bike and into the cool water he dived， disappearing below
the surface and away from the savage insects． After holding his breath for as long as he could，
Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone． Dragging himself out of the dam， he
struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell． Mrs． Nelson took him inside and rang his
mother．
"You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover，" laughed his mother with
relief． "Thank goodness you didn’t panic!" But Andy did not hear her． He was dreaming once
again of the fish he would catch tomorrow．
56．Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?
A．He was riding to school．
B．He was listening to a strange sound．
C．He was going fishing with his father．
D．He was lost in the thought of the fishing trip．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
57．Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the swarm of bees in the passage?

D．They made Andy stay in hospital for two days．
58．How did Andy avoid the bees in the end?
A．He asked Mr． Nelson for help．
B．He hid himself under the water．
C．He rushed into the Nelson house．
D．He rode off in the opposite direction．
59．Which of the following can best describe Andy’s escape from the bees?
A．No pains， no gains．
B．Once bitten， twice shy．
C．Where there is a will， there is a way．
D．In time of danger， one’s mind works fast．

Kong Zi， also called Confucius (551-479 B． C．) ， and Socrates (469-399 B．C．) lived
only a hundred years apart， and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and
Greece， but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came
from shaped their ideas， and how these ideas in turn， shaped their societies．
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace， though there were more wars in Greece than in
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
China． The Chinese states were very large and feudal， while the Greek city-states were small
and urban． The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进
的) than Confucius． Unlike Confucius， Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern
effectively． Thus， Socrates was able to be more idealistic， focusing on issues like freedom，
and knowledge for its own sake． Confucius， on the other hand， advised those in government
service， and many of his students went on to government service．
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life： "Do not do to
others what you would not want others to do to you．" He assumed that all men were equal at birth，
though some had more potential than others， and that it was knowledge that set men
apart． Socrates focused on the individual， and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to
seek wisdom． He believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others
did． Like Confucius， he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior (下层的) classes．
For Socrates， the family was of no importance， and the community of little concern． For
Confucius， however， the family was the centre of society， with family relations considered
much more important than political relations．
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes．
64．Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
A．Socrates and Confucius had much in common．
B．Confucius had much influence on Socrates’ ideas．
C．The societies were influenced by the philosophers’ ideas．
D．There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece．
65．Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that ．
A．all men were equal when they were born
B．the lower classes should be ruled by the upper class
C．the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
D．people should not ask others to do what they did not want to
66．What made some people different from others according to Confucius?
A．Family． B．Potential． C．Knowledge． D．Community．
67．This passage is organized in the pattern of ．
A．time and events
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．comparison and contrast
C．cause and effect
D．definition and classification
D
Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly． Motor-cars cover a hundred
miles in little more than an hour， aircraft cross the world inside a day， while computers operate
at lightning speed． Indeed， this love of speed seems never-ending． Every year motor-cars are
produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds
in handling tasks．
All this saves time， but at a price． When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the
world in an airplane， our bodies tell us so． We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag；
our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone． Again， spending too long at
computers results in painful wrists and fingers． Mobile phones also have their dangers，
according to some scientists； too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains， a
consequence we do not like to think about．
However， what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax， or so it
seems． We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing，
or even just one thing at a time． Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a
story on the radio， letting imagination take us into another world．
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land
or the care of cattle． No multi-tasking there； their lives went on at a much gentler pace， and in
a familiar pattern． There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this． Yet before we
do so， we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced： they farmed with bare hands， often
lived close to hunger， and had to fashion tools from wood and stone． Modern machinery has
freed people from that primitive existence．
68．The new products become more and more time-saving because ．
A．our love of speed seems never-ending
B．time is limited
C．the prices are increasingly high
D．the manufacturers boast a lot
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
69．What does "the days" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Imaginary life．
B．Simple life in the past．
C．Times of inventions．
D．Time for constant activity．
70．What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?
A．Critical． B．Objective． C．Optimistic． D．Negative．
71．What does the passage mainly discuss?
A．The present and past times．
B．Machinery and human beings．
C．Imaginations and inventions．
D．Modern technology and its influence．
E
Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing
it． It is not the amazing complexity of television， nor the impressive technology of
transport． The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noises with our
mouths， and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds． This ability comes so
naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle(奇迹) it is．
Obviously， the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals． Of course，
some animals have powers just as amazing． Birds can fly thousands of miles by observing
positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year． In Nature’s talent show，
humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act． If we reduce it to basic
terms， it’s an ability for communicating information to others， by varying sounds we make as
we breathe out．
Not that we don’t have other powers of communication． Our facial expressions convey our
emotions， such as anger， or joy， or disappointment． The way we hold our heads can indicate
to others whether we are happy or sad． This is so-called "body language"． Bristling (直立的) fur
is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals． Similarly， the bowed head or
drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering．
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals， including human beings，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
instinctively acquire and display． Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so， how
did human beings acquire this amazing skill? Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of
our brain where speech mechanisms function， but this doesn’t tell us how that part of our bodies
originated in our biological history．
72．According to the passage， the wonder we take for granted is ．
A．our ability to use language
B．the miracle of technology
C．the amazing power of nature
D．our ability to make noises with mouth
73．What feature of "body language" mentioned in the passage is common to both humans and
animals?
A．Lifting heads when sad．
B．Keeping long faces when angry．
C．Bristling hair when ready to attack．
D．Bowing heads when willing to obey．
74．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A．Body language is unique to humans．
B．Animals express emotions just as humans do．
C．Humans have other powers of communication．
D．Humans are no different from animals to some degree．
75．This passage is mainly about ．
A．the development of body language
B．the special role humans play in nature
C．the power to convey information to others
D．the difference between humans and animals in language use

车头。故用turned。

受伤害的)，imaginable(想象得到的)，horrible(可怕的)，均不符合语境。
52．D【解析】由下文的"from black to silvery-grey"可知，车子的颜色逐渐地由黑色消退为银
灰色。fade from 由……退去。
53．B【解析】车轮也不见了，但仍在继续前行，就像是"浮"(floating)在地面上。
54．D【解析】由上文对汽车变化的描述可知此处是说汽车升上了天空，故此处用"rise" into

55．C【解析】带着微弱鸣笛"声"(sound)，汽车很快消失了……而tune(曲调声)，voice(嗓音)，
tone(腔调)，均不符合语境。
56．D【解析】推理判断题。由第一段内容尤其是第二句可推知。
57．D【解析】事实细节题。A 项与第二段中的"A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black
cloud"吻合；B 项与第二段中的"What he saw shocked and terrified him"吻合；C 项与第二
段最后一句后半句"．．．and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him"吻
合；D 项与文章最后他成功避开蜂群这一事实不符。
58．B【解析】细节推理题。根据第五段中的"Off his bike and into the cool water he dived．．．"
分析可推知。
59．D【解析】主旨大意题。A 项"不劳无获"；B 项"一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井绳"；C 项"有志
者事竟成"；D 项"急中生智"。根据文章意思：安迪被蜜蜂追着到处跑，情急之下，跳
入水中。故与"急中生智"吻合。

Research to manage the CWU Research Department and Information Centre．"和文章第二段
开头处的"The person appointed．．．"及第三段开头处的"You will need．．．"可知，这是用
人招聘广告，故可能刊登在报纸上有关Jobs 的栏目中。
61．A【解析】判断推理题。根据第一段中的"．．．manage a team of three researchers and four
support staff．"以及第二段中的"to carry out research work of a strategic nature"和下文的
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
"contribute to the strategic thinking and direction of the union as a whole．"可推知，A 项符
合题意。
62．A【解析】细节推理题。A 项错在与文章最后一句"No agencies please"不符；B 项和C
项正确是因为与第四段留下的联系方式吻合；D 项正确是因为与倒数第三句吻合。
63．C【解析】推理判断题。因为广告中需要招聘的人员为管理人员，故选项C 中提到的"
来自于某研究中心具有硕士学位的director"显然与第三段中提到具体硬件吻合，最有可
能被录用。
64．C【解析】细节推理题。根据文章第一段的内容可推知最后一句后半句"．．．and how these
ideas in turn， shaped their societies"是本段的主题，而A 项在第一段中没有提及，B 项
与D 项与第一段的"during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece"
不符。
65．B【解析】判断推理题。根据第三段的最后一句"Like Confucius， he believed that the
superior class should rule the inferior (下层的) classes．"可以判断出答案。
66．C【解析】细节判断题。根据文章第三段中的"and that it was knowledge that set men apart"
可以判断出答案。
67．B【解析】主旨大意题。文章的谋篇布局主要是以比较和对照的方式来阐述两位伟大哲
学家孔子与苏格拉底的哲学思想对社会的影响以及他们思想观点的相似处与不同点。故
B 项正确。
68．A【解析】事实细节题。文章第一段中先将第一句作为结果加以叙述，再陈述其原因即：
Indeed， this love of speed seems never-ending。
69．B【解析】推理判断题。从第二段的首句"All this saves time， but at a price．"到第三段
第一句中提到的"what do we do with the time we have saved?"再到第三句中的"or even
just one thing at a time．"无不说明，新发明所节省的这些时间无不需要付出代价，由此
可推知人们怀念的the days 即现代发明之前的simple life in the past 是一去不复返了。
70．B【解析】观点态度题。由文章大意及最后一段中的"There is much that we might envy about
a way of life like this．．．we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced： ．．．Modern
machinery has freed people from that primitive existence．"可推知，作者的观点是"一分为
二的(即客观的)"，故为Objective。
71．D【解析】主旨大意题。文章的首段就明确地告诉我们：现代发明加速了人们的生活节
奏。下文又提到这些发明给人们的生活带来了哪些影响和如何客观地分析这个问题。故
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
选项D 正确。
72．A【解析】事实细节题。根据第一段的第三句"The universal wonder we share and experience
is our ability to make noises with our mouths， and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each
other's mind"可分析得出答案。选项D 只是不够完整的部分细节。
73．D【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知：A、B 项只提到人而不指动物，C 项
只提到动物而不指人。第三段的最后一句"Similarly， the bowed head or drooping tail
shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering．"既提到了人也提到了动物，
故D 项正确。
74．D【解析】推理判断题。A 项片面地强调body language 是人类的唯一性，B 项错在强调
了动物与人类的完全等同，C 项错在可以第三段首句直接得出，不需要推断，D 项"在
某种程度上，人类确实与动物没什么不同。"正确是因为与本段的暗示相吻合。
75．C【解析】主旨大意题。A 项是指"肢体语言的发展"，只是将文章的细节扩大；B 项"
人类在自然界的特殊作用"，不够具体；C 项"传达信息给别人的能力"，是文章自始至
终所阐述的观点；D 项是指"人类与动物在语言应用方面的差异"，是文章的细节，而不
是主要阐述的观点。
第四部分 写作
76．younger/youngest【解析】根据整篇对话可知，Jill 是莎拉的妹妹，故用younger/youngest。
77．worry【解析】由下文的"I think she'll be here soon"可知是在宽慰母亲别担心。
78．realized【解析】吉尔可能没有"意识"到。
79．returned/reached【解析】上文也说到She should have been here 即本该"到家"(reached home)。
80．sure【解析】彼得说"我敢肯定她没事"。
81．missed【解析】由前面说的the bus service 可推知下文说的是"错过(missed)了班车"。
82．phoning【解析】由下文的on her mobile 可知说的是"你尝试过打她的手机吗?"，故填
phoning。
83．something【解析】吉尔肯定发生了什么事，故用something。
84．police/policeman【解析】call the police/policeman 报警。
85．off【解析】switch her mobile off 关机。

known as a monolingual dictionary． 37 it was a dictionary intended for non-native
learners，none of my classmates had one 38 ，to be honest，I found it extremely 39 to
use at first． I would look up words in the dictionary and 40 not fully understand the
meanings．I was used to the 41 bilingual dictionaries，in which the words are 42
both in English and Chinese． I really wondered why my aunt 43 to make things so
difficult for me． Now， after studying English at university for three years， I 44 that
monolingual dictionaries are 45 in learning a foreign language．
As I found out，there is， 46 ，often no perfect equivalence (对应) between two 47 in
two languages． My aunt even goes so far as to 48 that a Chinese "equivalent" can never
give you the 49 meaning of a word in English! 50 ， she insisted that I read the
definition (定义) of a word in a monolingual dictionary 51 I wanted to get a better
understanding of its meaning． 52 ， I have come to see what she meant．
Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way． This
dictionary uses a(n) 53 number of words， around 2，000， in its definitions． When

第一节(共15 小题；每小题2 分，满分30 分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
It was a village in India． The people were poor． However， they were not unhappy． After
all， their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries．
Then one day， some visitors from the city arrived． They told the villagers there were some
people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs． However， they did not have enough frogs of their
own， and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places．
This seemed like money for nothing． There were millions of frogs in the fields around， and
they were no use to the villagers． All they had to do was catch them． Agreement was reached，
and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs． Every week a truck arrived to collect the
catch and hand over the money． For the first time， the people were able to dream of a better
future． But the dream didn't last long．
The change was hardly noticed at first， but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so
well． More worrying was that the children fell ill more often， and， there seemed to be more
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
insects around lately．
The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children
getting weak． They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and
medicines． Soon there was no money left．
Then the people realized what was happening． It was the frog． They hadn't been
useless． They had been doing an important job — eating insects． Now with so many frogs killed，
the insects were increasing more rapidly． They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases．
Now， the people are still poor． But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen
to sounds of insects and frogs． These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning．
56．From Paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers ．
A．worked very hard for centuries
B．dreamed of having a better life
C．were poor but somewhat content
D．lived a different life from their forefathers
57．Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?
A． The frogs were easy money．
B． They needed money to buy medicine．
C． They wanted to please the visitors．
D． The frogs made too much noise．
58．What might be the cause of the children's sickness?
A．The crops didn't do well．
B．There were too many insects．
C．The visitors brought in diseases．
D．The pesticides were overused．
59．What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?
A．Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country．
B．Health is more important than money．
C．The harmony between man and nature is important．
D．Good old days will never be forgotten．
B
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
I hated dinner parties． But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London． And
my friend Mallery invited me． And because dinner parties in London are very different from
those back in New York． There， "I'm having a dinner party" means： "I'm booking a table for
12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the cheque evenly， no matter what you
eat．" Worse， in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives． They'll
throw down cash， half of what they owe， and then people like me， who don't drink， end up
paying even more． But if I try to use the same trick， the hostess will shout： "Where are you
going?" And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go： everyone knows I have nowhere to go．
But in London， dinner parties are in people's homes． Not only that， the guests are an
interesting mix． The last time I went to one， the guests were from France， India， Denmark
and Nigeria； it was like a gathering at the United Nations． In New York， the mix is less
striking． It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's， a well-known department store．
For New Yorkers， talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in
New York． But at Mallery's， when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently， people knew
where it was． In New York people would think it was a usual new club．
60．What does the word "shot" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Choice． B．Try． C．Style． D．Goal．
61．What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?
A．There is a strange mix of people．
B．The restaurants are expensive．
C．The bill is not fairly shared．
D．People have to pay cash．
62．What does the author think of the parties in London?
A．A bit unusual． B．Full of tricks．
C．Less costly． D．More interesting．
63．What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?
A．Easy-going． B．Self-centred．
C．Generous． D．Conservative．
C
Too much TV-watching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
getting a college degree， new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of
television on children．
One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders． Those with TVs in
their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children
without bedroom TVs．
A second study， looking at nearly 1，000 grown-ups in New Zealand， found lower
education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood． But the
results don't prove that TV is the cause and don't rule out that already poorly motivated
youngsters(年轻人) may watch lots of TV．
Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15． Those with
college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during
childhood， compared with an average of more than 2 1/2 hours for those who had no education
beyond high school．
In the California study， children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored
the lowest， while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest．
While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores， it adds to
accumulating findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms．
64．According to the California study， the low-scoring group might ．
A．have watched a lot of TV
B．not be interested in math
C．be unable to go to college
D．have had computers in their bedrooms
65．What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?
A．Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV．
B．Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest．
C．TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds．
D．The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain．
66．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A．More time should be spent on computers．
B．Children should be forbidden from watching TV．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms．
D．Further studies on high-achieving students should be done．
67．What would be the best title for this text?
A．Computers or Television
B．Effects of Television on Children
C．Studies on TV and College Education
D．Television and Children's Learning Habits
D
On May 23， 1989， Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad， New Mexico． She
hadn't seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks． Stefania was in a research program， and the
scientists in the program were studying body rhythms (节奏)． In this experiment Stefania had
spent 130 days in a cave， 30 feet in depth．
During her time in the cave， Stefania had been completely alone except for two white
mice． Her living place had been very comfortable， but there had been nothing to tell her the
time． She'd had no clocks or watches， no television or radio． There had been no natural light
and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃．
The results were very interesting． Stefania had been in the cave for over four months， but
she thought she had been there for only two． Her body clock had changed． She hadn't kept to a
24-hour day， she had stayed awake for 20-25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours． She had
eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a result! She had also become rather depressed
(抑郁)．
How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment she'd done some physical
and mental tests． She'd recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a
computer． This computer had been specially programmed for the project． Whenever she was
free， she'd played cards， read books and listened to music． She'd also learned French from
tapes．
The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature． For
example， the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep． However， people are
affected in different ways． Some people wake up naturally at 5：00 am， but others don't start to
wake up till 9：00 or 10：00 am． This affects the whole daily rhythm． As a result， the early
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
risers are at their best in the late morning． The late risers， on the other hand， are tired during
the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!
68．Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time because ．
A．she was asked to do research on mice
B．she wanted to experience loneliness
C．she was the subject of a study
D．she needed to record her life
69．What is a cause for the change of Stefania's body clock?
A．Eating fewer meals．
B．Having more hours of sleep．
C．Lacking physical exercise．
D．Getting no natural light．
70．Where does the text probably come from?
A．A novel． B．A news story．
C．A pet magazine． D．A travel guide．

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier (收银台) in her general
store． 71 I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying "thank
you"．
At first I was paid in candy． 72 I worked every day after school， and during the
summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a．m． to 7 p．m． My father helped me set up a
bank account． 73
By the time I was 12， my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she
promoted me to selling cosmetics (化妆品)． I developed the ability to look customers directly in
the eye． Even though I was just a kid， women would ask me such things as "What color do you
think I should wear?" I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they
wanted into makeup (化妆) ideas． 74
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The job taught me a valuable lesson： to be a successful salesperson， you didn't need to be
a rocket scientist — you needed to be a great listener． 75 Except they are no longer women
purchasing cosmetics from me； instead， they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to
see designed and developed．
A．Later I received 50 cents an hour．
B．Before long， she let me sit there by myself．
C．I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics．
D．Today I still carry that lesson with me： I listen to customers．
E．My grandma's trust taught me how to handle responsibility．
F．Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before．
G．Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought

英语答案
1-5 BBABC 6-10 ACAAB 11-15 CACCB 16-20 BCBCA
21．C【解析】考查交际英语。第一个人说，"我来洗餐具。杰克，你来拖地板，好吗?"答语
为"当然可以"。根据语境选C 项。
22．B【解析】考查冠词。第一空不填冠词，in space"在太空"为固定用法；因earth 为独一
无二的名词，其前必须用定冠词the。故选B 项。
23．D【解析】考查副词的辨析。however 和nevertheless"然而"，表示转折；besides"而且，
还有"，表示附加；meanwhile"同时，其间"。语意为：Jim 去接电话。在这期间，Harry
去准备午饭。根据语意选D 项。
24．A【解析】考查动词的时态。语意：从上个月开始，Joseph 一直在上夜校学俄语，但是
他仍没有学会用俄语说"你叫什么名字?"。根据语意，表示自从过去到现在一直发生的
事情且有可能持续下去，应用现在完成进行时，故选A 项。
25．B【解析】考查非谓语动词。语意为：看到寺院仍处于原始的状态，我们感到非常震惊。
空格处为动词不定式作状语，表示原因，故选B 项。
26．C【解析】考查情态动词辨析。语意为：医生说，锻炼对于健康很重要，但是必须是经
常的锻炼。情态动词must 表示"必须"， 符合语意。
27．A【解析】考查形容词、副词的排列顺序。enough 修饰形容词、副词时，通常要放在被
修饰词语的后面。因此正确词序应为：nowhere near enough．．．nowhere near 意为"差得
远， 远不及"。语意为：我们只有100 美元。这笔钱远远不够买一台新电脑。根据语意
选A 项。
28．D【解析】考查动词词组辨析。turn on"打开"；turn in"上交，归还"；turn around"转身，

忙，所以我没有时间做。第一句是陈述的事实，因此应该用一般现在时。
31．C【解析】考查固定用法。语意为：我同意接受他的提议，条件是他撤销全部的诉讼。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
on condition that 与连词if 同义，表示"在……条件下"，后接条件状语从句。根据语意
选C 项。
32．A【解析】考查动词辨析。语意：这部新电影有望成为有史以来最赚钱的电影之一。promise
to be 表示"有希望成为……"，符合语意。agree to do"同意做某事"；pretend to be"假装

33．D【解析】考查代词辨析。题干中含有make it difficult for sb to do sth 结构。形式宾语it
代替后面的动词不定式短语to get a job in that country。
34．A【解析】考查"疑问词+动词不定式"代替名词性从句。分析句子结构可知，此处是"疑
问词+动词不定式"代替宾语从句。语意为：Peter 可以向你展示如何把点子变为行动。
连接词how 表示"如何"，合乎语意。
35．D【解析】考查非谓语动词。题干中含有"get sth done"结构，表示"使某事被做"。语意
为：Alexander 试图使他的工作被医学界认可。his work 与 recognize 为逻辑上的动宾关
系，因此用过去分词作宾补。故选D 项。
36．C【解析】我很吃惊地(surprised)看到姑姑送给我的是一本英英词典——仅用一种语言的
词典。从下文可知，这本英英词典是供非本土学习者使用的，我们班的同学都没有这样
的词典，由此可推知当姑姑送我一本这样的词典时，我应该很吃惊。
37．B【解析】尽管(Although)这本词典是为英语不是母语的学习者编写的，但是我班的同
学没有一个人有这样的词典。
38．D【解析】而且(and)，说实在话，刚开始我发现这本词典用起来非常困难。本句与上句
为并列关系，应用and 连接。
39．A【解析】句意参见38 题。这为下文后来我发现使用英英词典学外语非常好埋下伏笔。
40．C【解析】我经常用这本词典查单词，仍然(still)不能完全理解词典中单词的释义。
41．B【解析】我习惯于使用比较熟悉的(familiar)用汉语和英语两种语言编写的那种词典。
42．A【解析】这种双语的词典使用汉语和英语来解释(explained)单词的含义。
43．C【解析】我真不知道姑姑为啥决定(decided)这样为难我。
44．D【解析】现在，经过在大学三年的学习，我终于理解(understand)使用单语词典对学习
外语是比较好的。
45．B【解析】从下文可知，在学习外语方面单语词典比双语词典好，因此应用比较级better。
46．B【解析】我发现：其实，在两种语言中没有完全对应的两个单词。In fact"其实"。
47．A【解析】从下文姑姑说的话可知，汉语中的词语不能完全与英语单词一一对应，故此
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
处选A 项。
48．B【解析】declare"断言， 宣称"，符合语境。
49．A【解析】exact meaning of a word 一个单词确切的含义。
50．C【解析】此处表示因果关系，故选Therefore。
51．A【解析】当(when)我想更好地理解一个单词的意思时，她坚持让我读单语词典上的单
词的定义。
52．C【解析】渐渐地(Gradually)我开始理解姑姑的意图了。
53．D【解析】这本词典的词汇量只要2 000 个，可见，它的词汇量很有限(limited)。
54．A【解析】因为这本单语词典的词汇量很小，当我阅读这些单词的解释时，我能反复地
(repeatedly)接触这些基本词汇。
55．D【解析】因为这样做(Because of this)，我可以比较容易地用英语表达思想。
56．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，村民们虽然生活清贫，但是他们生活得
幸福，因为几百年来他们的祖宗就是这样生活的。
57．A【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段前两句可知，周围田地里到处都是青蛙，它们
似乎对村民也没有什么用处，卖掉青蛙很好赚钱。
58．B【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第六段内容可知，他们把青蛙卖了之后，到处都是害
虫，这些害虫不但毁坏庄稼，而且传播疾病，由此可知B 项正确。
59．C【解析】推理判断题。根据最后两段内容可知，青蛙对村民的生活起着重要的作用。
最后一段说，虽然村民依然贫困，可是他们认识到了青蛙的重要作用，换言之， 人与
自然的和谐是非常重要的。
60．B【解析】猜测词义题。根据文章首段的前四句话可知，我原来不喜欢派对，但是我决
定试试，因为我现在是在伦敦。结合语境可知，此处shot 与 try 同义，表示"尝试"。
61．C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段对在纽约参加派对的情况的讲述，尤其是"Worse，
in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives． They'll throw
down cash， half of what they owe， and then people like me， who don't drink， end up
paying even more．"可知，作者最不喜欢在纽约参加派对的原因是大家分摊费用时非常
不公平。答案为C。
62．D【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，伦敦的派对是在某人家里，而且参加聚
会的客人来源非常广泛。第二段第二句中的"an interesting mix"和倒数第三句中的"a
gathering at the United Nations"也暗示伦敦的派对更好玩儿。答案为D。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
63．B【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知，先离开派对的人，不顾及别人的感受，
只付了自己消费的一半的钱就离开了，这说明在纽约有些人非常自私，做事情时只顾自
己(Self-centred)，故答案为B。
64．A【解析】推理判断题。根据文章的第二段的第二句可知，卧室有电视机的那些孩子比
卧室没有电视的那些孩子的在语言艺术学和数学方面的成绩要低8 分，由此可推断很可
能是看电视影响了他们的成绩。答案为A。
65．D【解析】推理判断题。第三段主要介绍了在新西兰对1 000 个成年人进行调查的结果，
结果显示，青少年时代看电视多的人受教育的程度较低。最后一句表明这项研究并未证
明是看电视导致他们学历低，也并不排除是因为这些青年人缺乏动力而看太多电视的原
因。因此答案为D。
66．C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后两段，尤其是文章最后一句可知，加利福尼亚的
研究表明，卧室有电视机的孩子成绩最差，卧室有电脑的而没有电视机的孩子成绩最好。
67．B【解析】主旨大意题。文章的第一段告诉我们本文是关于电视对儿童的影响的研究结
果。全文围绕这一话题展开，故答案为B。
68．C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章的第一段内容可知Stefania Follini 作为研究对象参与
了一项研究试验。故选C。
69．D【解析】推理判断题。根据文章的第二段最后两句和最后一段首句可知，无法计时和
没有自然光使她的生理节奏产生了混乱。答案为D。
70．B【解析】推理判断题。这篇文章为读者介绍了一项关于人体生理节奏的研究，应出现
在报纸杂志等通俗读物上，故答案为B。
71．B【解析】我10 岁时第一次和奶奶坐在收银台前。不久之后奶奶让我独自接待顾客。
72．A【解析】起初奶奶给我糖果算是工钱。后来我的工资是一小时50 美分。
73．G【解析】爸爸给我开了一个银行账户，看到存款的增加我认为这比拿这些钱买任何东
西都值得。
74．C【解析】本段谈到作者开始卖化妆品。作者学会和顾客进行目光的交流，而且对顾客
的问题非常感兴趣，总是推测她们想要什么样的化妆品。显然，作者非常善于销售化妆
品。所以作者卖出的化妆品突破了纪录。
75．D【解析】根据前一句可知这里填的句子与倾听顾客有关，因此选D 项。

第三部分 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Christopher Thomas，27，was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was
always tired and was losing weight fast． Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病)， Thomas would need
to inject himself with insulin (胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve
damage， blindness and even death． And if that weren't bad enough， he had no health insurance．
After a month of feeling upset， Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back． He
left Canton，Michigan for New York， got a job waiting tables， nicknamed himself the Diabetic
Rockstar， and created diabeticrockstar．com， a free online community for diabetics and their
loved ones—a place where over 1，100 people share personal stories， information and resources．
Jason Swencki's son， Kody， was diagnosed with diabetes at six． Father and son visit the
online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings． "Kody gets so excited， writing to kids
from all over，"says Swencki，one of the site's volunteers．"They know what he's going through，
so he doesn't feel alone．"
Kody is anything but alone；Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United
States， with 24 million diagnosed cases． And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages．
These days， Thomas's main focus is his charity (慈善机构)，Fight It，which provides
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
medicines and supplies to people — 225 to date — who can't afford a diabetic's huge
expenses． Fight-it．org has raised about $23，000 — in products and in cash． In May，Thomas
will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean．
Even with a staff of 22 volunteers， Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause，
while still doing his full-time job waiting tables．"Of the diabetes charities out there，most are
putting money into finding a cure，"says Bentley Gubar，one of Rockstar's original members．"But
Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now．"

D．rock stars to share resources
58．According to the text， Kody ．

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost
certainly mention recycling． Recycling in the home is very important of course． However，
being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need． We are dealing
with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible ，but it would be far better
if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place．
The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005 ．It now makes up
a third of a typical household's waste in the UK． In many supermarkets nowadays food items are
packaged twice with plastic and cardboard．
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment． The UK， for example，
is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste． If such packaging is burnt， it gives off
greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect． Recycling helps， but the process
itself uses energy． The solution is not to produce such items in the first place． Food waste is a
serious problem， too． Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they
need． However， a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue，
encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags， for example．
But this is not just about supermarkets． It is about all of us． We have learned to associate
packaging with quality． We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor
quality． This is especially true of food． But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products，
which often have far more packaging than necessary．
There are signs of hope． As more of us recycle， we are beginning to realise just how much
unnecessary material we are collecting． We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture，
but we have a mountain to climb．
61．What does the underlined phrase"that over-consumption"refer to?
A．Using too much packaging．
B．Recycling too many wastes．
C．Making more products than necessary．
D．Having more material than is needed．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
62．The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show ．
A．the tendency of cutting household waste
B．the increase of packaging recycling
C．the rapid growth of supermarkets
D．the fact of packaging overuse
63．According to the text，recycling ．
A．helps control the greenhouse effect
B．means burning packaging for energy
C．is the solution to gas shortage
D．leads to a waste of land
64．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A．Unpackaged products are of bad quality．
B．Supermarkets care more about packaging．
C．It is improper to judge quality by packaging．
D．Other products are better packaged than food．
65．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Fighting wastefulness is difficult．
B．Needless material is mostly recycled．
C．People like collecting recyclable wastes．
D．The author is proud of their consumer culture．
C
Rae Armantrout，who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego
(UCSD) for two decades， has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most
recent book， "Versed"．
"I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings， as
compared to even the National Book Critics Award， which I was also surprised and delighted to
win，" said Armantrout．
"For a long time， my writing has been just below the media radar， and to have this kind of
attention， suddenly， with my 10th book， is really surprising．"
Armantrout， a native Californian，received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley， where
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov， and her master's in creative writing from San
Francisco State University． She is a founding member of Language Poets， a group in American
poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think．
In March， she won the National Book Critics Award for "Versed"．
"This book has gotten more attention，"Armantrout said， "but I don't feel as if it's better．"
The first half of "Versed" focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it
fought the war against Iraq． The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her
own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006．
Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were
not． "Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry，" said Seth Lerer， head of Arts and
Humanities at UCSD．
"Versed，" published by the Wesleyan University Press， did appear in a larger printing than
her earlier works， which is about 2，700 copies． The new edition is scheduled to appear in May．
66．According to Rae Armantrout， ．
A．her 10th book is much better
B．her winning the Pulitzer is unexpected
C．the media is surprised at her works
D．she likes being recognized by her readers
67．Which of the following is true of Rae Armantrout?
A．She published a poetry textbook．
B．She used to teach Denise Levertov．
C．She started a poets'group with others．
D．She taught creative writing at UC Berkeley．
68．What can we learn about "Versed"?
A．It consists of three parts．
B．It is mainly about the American army．
C．It is a book published two decades ago．
D．It partly concerns the poet's own life．
69．Rae Armantrout's colleagues think that she ．
A．should write more
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．has a sweet voice
C．deserves the prize
D．is a strange professor
70．What can we learn from the text?
A．About 2，700 copies of "Versed" will be printed．
B．Cancer made Armantrout stop writing．
C．Armantrout got her degrees at UCSD．
D．"Versed" has been awarded twice．
D
Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems． While scientists are
finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful， problems can arise when these
batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves． University of Missouri(MU)
researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller， lighter and more efficient．
"To provide enough power， we need certain methods with high energy density(密度)，"said
Jae Kwon， assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU．"The radioisotope
(放射性同位素)battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries．"
Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery，
presently
the
size
and
thickness
of
a
penny ，intended
to
power
various
micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS)．Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns，
Kwon said they are safe．
"People hear the word‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous，" he said．"However，
nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices， such as
pace-makers， space satellites and underwater systems．"
His new idea is not only in the battery's size， but also in its semiconductor(半导
体)． Kwon's battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor．
"The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy， part of the
radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶格结构) of the solid semiconductor，" Kwon
said． "By using a liquid semiconductor， we believe we can minimize that problem．"
Together with J． David Robertson， chemistry professor and associate director of the MU
Research Reactor， Kwon is working to build and test the battery． In the future， they hope to
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
increase the battery's power， shrink its size and try with various other materials． Kwon said that
the battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair．
71．Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?
A．He teaches chemistry at MU．
B．He developed a chemical battery．
C．He is working on a nuclear energy source．
D．He made a breakthrough in computer engineering．
72．Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4 ．
A．to show chemical batteries are widely applied
B．to indicate nuclear batteries can be safely used
C．to describe a nuclear-powered system
D．to introduce various energy sources
73．Liquid semiconductor is used to ．
A．get rid of the radioactive waste
B．test the power of nuclear batteries
C．decrease the size of nuclear batteries
D．reduce the damage to lattice structure
74．According to Jae Kwon， his nuclear battery ．
A．uses a solid semiconductor
B．will soon replace the present ones
C．could be extremely thin
D．has passed the final test
75．The text is most probably a ．
A．science news report
B．book review
C．newspaper ad
D．science fiction story

第四部分 书面表达(共两节，满分45 分)
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
第一节 阅读表达(共5 小题；每小题3 分，满分15 分)
阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到题后相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要
求)。
[1]One out of many important things for the whole family to do is to have dinner
together． Researchers began reporting the benefits of family dinner about a decade ago，
focusing mainly on how it affects children． Studies show that those families who eat dinner at
least 3 or 4 times a week together benefit in many ways．
[2]Eating together helps families achieve open communication and build stronger and
healthier relationships． Children have better grades at school and are better adjusted as teens and
adults， and the entire family enjoys healthier nutrition． For many families， eating dinner
together proves to be a good and effective way to reduce the risk of youth rates of addiction， and
helps to raise healthier children．It is also a great time to share the events of the day， discuss news
and ideas or just be together and enjoy each other's company．
[3]During dinner time parents have better opportunity to show that they care for their
children． Sitting at the same table and sharing meals is where and when parents can find out more
about their children's school performance， daily activities and attitudes toward life． When
parents have all this information， they can better direct their kids toward positive things in
life． They also have better chance to reduce the possibility that children will get involved with
alcohol，tobacco，and illegal drugs．
[4]However， family researchers say that the benefits of family dinner by no means can be
considered as automatic． Parents can sit down to dinner with their kids every day and achieve
nothing． if there is too much arguing going on， if there is no meaningful
conversation or， what is even worse， if there is just plain silence during gathering．
76．What is the main idea of the text?(no more than 8 words)
_____________________________________
77．Which sentence in the text is closest in meaning to the following one?
By having dinner together family members can have free exchange of information and ideas

Ask Dr．?
Jeffers
This month Dr．Jeffers is answering questions about the
human brain and how it works．
Dear Dr．Jeffers，
One of my colleagues，Felix Moeller，told me that scientists are learning to use
computer to ‘read minds’．Is there any truth to this story?
—Jane Leon， New York， USA
Dear Ms．Leon，
Well，a lot of research is being conducted in this area， but so far， the brain
scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs haven’t been able to
actually read thoughts．In one experiment，test subjects（受试者）were connected
to scanning equipment and shown two numbers on a screen．They were then asked
to choose between adding or subtracting（减）the two numbers．Using this method，
researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions
（假设）70 percent of the time．It’s not quite mind reading，but it’s certainly a first
step．
—Dr．J．
Dear Dr．Jeffers，
My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle
（胳肢）him until he laughs uncontrollably． The other day I noticed him trying to
tickle himself but he couldn’t do it． Why not?
—Glenn Lewis， Vancouver， Canada
Dear Mr．Lewis，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
It’s because of how the brain works．The brain is trained to know what to pay
attention to and what to ignore．It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to
happen，but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling．For
example，you don’t notice how your shoulder feels while you’re walking down the
street．But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the
shoulder，you may jump in fear．It’s that unexpected part that causes the tickle
reaction．
—Dr．J．
46．What can we learn from the answer to the first question?
A．Some equipment is able to read human minds．
B．Some progress has been made in mind reading．
C．Test subjects have been used to make decisions．
D．Computer programs can copy brain processes．
47．People laugh when tickled by others because the feeling is ．
A．unexpected B．expected
C．comfortable D．uncomfortable
48．Who has got a little child according to the text?
A．Ms．Leon B．Mr．Lewis
C．Mr．Moeller D．Dr．Jeffers
49．According to the text，Jeffers is probably ．
A．a computer programmer B．a test subject
C．a human brain expert D．a medical doctor

Brave Frenchman Found Half-way Around the World (NEW YORK)
A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t
think twice before diving into the freezing East River．

ambulance came later for her，said Duret，who was handed dry clothes from onlookers．Duret
caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after．
The rescue happened on the day before he left for France．Duret said he didn’t realize his tale

The 1900 House
The Bowler family was one of more than 400 families who applied to 1900 House， a reality
TV show which took a typical family back a hundred years to see how people lived in the days
before the Internet， computer games and even electricity．
The Bowler family spent three months in a London home without a telephone， computers，
TV， or fast food． The Bowlers wore clothes from 1900， ate only food available in England at
that time， and cooked their meals on a single stove． Paul Bowler still went to work every day in
a then uniform． The children changed their clothes on the way to and from school and their
classmates didn’t know about their unusual home life． Joyce stayed at home， cooking and
cleaning like a typical housewife of the time， though everything took three times as long．
So does Joyce think that people’s lives were better in the old days?
"I think people in the old days had just as many troubles and worries，" Joyce said，"and I
don’t think their life was better or worse． There were lots of things back then that I’m happy I
don’t have to deal with nowadays， but on the other hand life was simpler．" "We had a lot more
time with our family， and it was hard being nice to each other all the time，" eleven-year-old
Hilary said．
So what did the Bowler family miss most about modern life while living in the 1900 house?
Paul，39："telephone and a hot shower"
Joyce，44："a quick cup of tea from a kettle you could just turn on"
Hilary，11："rock CD"
Joseph，9："hamburger and computer games"
54．While the Bowler family was living in the 1900 house， ．
A．the mother spent more time on housework
B．the two children wore the then clothes for school
C．they prepared their meals together on a stove
D．they ate simple foods they had never seen
55．According to Paragraph 4， what’s Joyce’s opinion about life in 1900?
A．There were fewer problems for the family．
B．Life was simpler but worse than it is now．
C．There were things she liked and disliked．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．The family had more time to stay together．
56．What would Hilary expect most from modern life in the three months?
A．To play computer games． B．To make phone calls．
C．To listen to music． D．To chat on the Internet．
Stop Spam!
When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago， I received communications only from
family，friends，and colleagues．Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail ，I have an
endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all．If we want
e-mail to continue to be useful，we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a
crime．
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam，the problem will certainly get much
worse．Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost
instantly．As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products，individual (个人
的)e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails．Would people continue to use e-mail if they
had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well． Many spam e-mails
contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company．Companies rely on
e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other． Spam frequently causes failures in
their local communications networks，and their employees are thus unable to communicate
effectively．Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly
repair their networks．These computer problems raise production costs of companies，which are，
in the end，passed on to the consumer．
For these reasons，I believe that lawmakers need to legislate(立法)against spam． Spammers
should be fined，and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people．E-mail is a tool
which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently，but spam is destroying this
convenience．
57．What does the underlined word "correspondence" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．messages B．ideas
C．connections D．programs
58．According to the text， what is the major cause of the flooding spam?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．Companies rely on e-mail for communications．
B．More people in the world communicate by e-mail．
C．Many computer viruses contain spam e-mails．
D．More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam．
59．According to Paragraph 3，who is the final victim of spam?
A．The business． B．The advertiser．
C．The employee． D．The consumer．
60．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To inform． B．To educate．
C．To persuade． D．To instruct．
第二节(共5 小题，每小题2 分，满分10 分)
根据短文内容，从下框的A~F 选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一
项为多余项。
Gift Giving
61．_______________
There are many occasions(场合) for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies：birthdays，
naming ceremonies， weddings， anniversaries， New Year． It is common to give gifts on many
of these celebrations in western cultures． In addition， special events， such as one’s first day of
school or graduation from university， often require gift giving．
62．________________
What is happening when we give gifts? Most important， we are exchanging gifts． If
someone gives me a gift for my birthday， I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or
her next birthday． A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation(义务)．
63． ________________
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved
ones． People say that a gift lets the recipient(接受者) know we are thinking of them， and that
we want to make the person "feel special"．We want people to feel wanted， to feel part of our
social or family group． We give presents to say "I’m sorry．"Sometimes it is difficult for us to
find a present that someone will like． Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel
comfortable with． In all these cases， the gifts are sending out messages — often very expressive
ones．
64．________________
People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way． A woman whose mother had died
years ago described the many gifts around her house．These were gifts that her mother had given
her over the years："I appreciate these， and they mean something to me，"the woman said，
"because I remember the occasions they were given on， and that they were from my mother，
and the relationship we’ve had．"The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind． This
woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others． She hoped that the recipients would
look at her gifts in years to come and remember her．
65．________________
Emotions(情感)like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving． They
prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift
giving is highly wasteful． Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the
case． Each gift is unique even if so many are given．The emotional benefit for those who
exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue．

2010 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(陕西卷)
英语答案
1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．A 6．C 7．G 8．E 9．B 10．F
11．D【解析】考查定语从句。先行词The old temple 和定语从句中的主语roof 是所属关系，
所以要用关系代词作定语。关系代词作定语时可用"whose + n．"，"the + n． + of which"
或"of which + the + n．"三种结构，此题中采用的是第一种结构。若用另外两种结构，
应该是the roof of which 或of which the roof。
12．A【解析】考查代词的用法辨析。在西安市中心租一套房子的费用比在该市任何其他地
区租一套房子的费用都要高。根据句意可知，空处指代The cost of renting a house，应
该用that。
13．D【解析】考查交际用语。说话人判断那噪音好像来自楼上，而答话人很肯定地说是隔
壁清洁工擦窗户的声音，由此可判断出答话人不同意对方的看法，选D 项，意为"我认
为不是这样的"。A 项表示没有把握，B 项表示"希望不是如此"，C 项表示不情愿干某事。
14．A【解析】考查动词短语辨析。你看起来气色不错。我想，三亚的空气和海鲜肯定很适
合你。agree with sb 表示"适应"，主语常为气候、食物等，符合语境。agree to sth 表示
同意某事(主语为单方)；agree on 和agree about 意思基本一样，都表示"就/关于……取
得了一致的意见"，主语为协商某件事情的双方或多方。
15．B【解析】考查虚拟语气。如果我们走了另外那条路的话，我们可能会及时赶到这儿来
参加会议的。题干为与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，其构成是条件句用过去完成时，主句
用情态动词+have done。
16．A【解析】考查非谓语动词作状语的用法。当从塔顶看的时候，南边的山脚是一片树的
海洋。动词see 与句中主语是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词。此非谓语结构相当
于一个状语从句If/When it is seen from the top of the tower。
17．D【解析】考查倒装。表示存在关系的句子，将表地点的副词或介词短语提至句首时，
若主语为名词，应采用完全倒装语序。此题中将表地点的副词there 提到了句首，而且
主语为名词a girl，所以要采用完全倒装语序，所以选D 项。
18．C【解析】考查固定句型。我从来没有想到你能成功地说服他改变主意。It occurs to sb
that ．．．的意思为"某人突然想到……"，其中that 引导主语从句，it 为形式主语，指代
that 从句的具体内容。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
19．B【解析】考查非谓语动词。下个月要出版的他的第一本书是以一个真实的故事为基础
的。此处表示将来，是被出版，要用不定式的被动式作定语。
20．C【解析】考查连词辨析。约翰认为要不了多久他就会为新工作做好准备的。before 在
此处表示两件事情发生相隔时间之长或之短。表示相隔时间之长时，常被翻译成"过了/
要过……后才"，表示相隔时间之短时常被翻译成"还没/未/要不了多久就……"。
21．A【解析】考查时态。句意：我得去看医生，因为我最近一直咳嗽得很厉害。lately 表
示"最近"，与现在完成时或现在完成进行时连用，因此答案选A，此处表示在说话之前
一直持续的动作。
22．A【解析】考查形容词辨析。研究表明，如果人们总是长时间地坐在电脑屏幕前面，他
们的背部更有可能会出问题。 四个选项中主语为人且和不定式连用的形容词只有likely
和sure，likely 表示"有可能的"，sure 表示"必定，肯定"，根据句意应用likely。possible
作表语时主语不能为人，可为物、不定式或不定式的复合结构；probable 的主语只能是
物。
23．D【解析】考查情态动词用法辨析。以may 开头的问句，在肯定回答中表示给予许可，
可用may 或can，但在否定回答中要用mustn't，表示禁止。
24．D【解析】考查时态和主谓一致。从时间状语at present 可判断出用现在时，"many a + 单
数可数名词"虽然表示复数意思，但要用单数谓语。
25．C【解析】考查交际用语。从后面的转折"但我们需要在六点前赶回家看足球赛"可知，
答话人已经同意接受对方的邀请。C 项"好极了"符合语境。A 项"祝你玩得开心"，表示
祝愿；B 项"原谅我"在请求对方原谅时用；D 项"你说得对"表示同意对方的看法。
26．A【解析】根据前边的信息"午休时间"和后边的目的状语"要弄些吃的东西"可推断出，
作者是离开了办公室。
27．C【解析】在路上，作者看到一个街头艺人，他前边放着一顶帽子。see 看到；lead 领
着，领导；choose 选择，挑选；fool 愚弄。
28．B【解析】由下文的信息use the money to feed his addiction to drugs or alcohol 可知，此
空的词表示的是钱，第三段的第一句也暗示出了此处应填coins"硬币"。chocolate 巧克
力；tin 罐头盒；drug 毒品，药。
29．B【解析】从前边的"可我不愿意把这些硬币给他"可知，作者当时心里想着那个街头艺
人只会把弄到的钱用在吸毒或酗酒上。only 仅仅，只不过，符合语境。
30．B【解析】从后边的解释词"年轻"和"衣衫褴褛"可知，此空指看到的现象，故用look，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
看起来。act 行动，sound 听起来，smell 闻起来，均与后面的形容词不搭配。
31．D【解析】此处表转折，"可我会用这些零钱来干什么呢?"but 表转折 "可是，但是"；though
表让步，"虽然，尽管"；for 表原因，"因为"；therefore 表结果，"因此，所以"。
32．B【解析】"接着我意识到，我没有权利只因为他在街上卖艺就把自己凌驾于他之上。
"realize 意识到，认识到；declare 宣告，宣布；expect 期望，预料；guess 猜想，猜测。
33．C【解析】此处指的是上文提到的那个街头卖艺的年轻人，用人称代词him。
34．C【解析】第二段描写了作者看到街头艺人时的心理活动，此处表示经过了思想斗争后，
作者拿定主意要把自己口袋里的硬币给那个艺人，所以应该是停下来把所有硬币放在那
人的帽子里。stop 停下来；wait 等待；follow 跟随；arrive 到达。
35．B【解析】第二段第二句中的信息with a hat in front of him 暗示了此题的答案是hat"帽
子"。
36．A【解析】那人已经用微笑答谢作者了，但当时他还感到不满足，还想得到更大的快乐
或满足感，这体现出了作者当时的自私，应该用selfish"自私的"，文章首句也暗示了此
题的答案。
37．A【解析】此空的词与后边的satisfaction 应该意思相近，都表示别人的感谢给自己带来
的感受，所以用happiness"愉快"最为恰当。
38．A【解析】想得到那艺人更进一步的感谢，从中得到更大的快乐或满足感，但那艺人却
没有任何其他表示，所以作者感到失望，离开了那儿。disappointedly 感到失望地；
unfortunately 不幸地；coincidentally 巧合地；comfortably 舒服地。
39．D【解析】把自己的硬币投到了那个艺人的帽子里，却没有得到作者期望的那种快乐或
满足感，所以作者认为他是在浪费钱，应该用money。
40．B【解析】从前边的信息"在回家路上"可以看出，此处表示在一天的工作结束后，应该
用day"一天，白天"。
41．C【解析】因为已是收工的时间了，所以那艺人应该是在收拾东西，准备结束自己一天
的活动。pack up 包装，打包，收拾东西；walk around 四处走动；pass by 从旁边经过；
run off 跑掉，流出。
42．D【解析】我看到他捡起帽子，走到一个咖啡店的柜台跟前。根据句意，此处应该用表
示去向的介词to"向，往，到"。
43．D【解析】在那儿，他把帽子里募捐到的所有钱都倒在了为地震灾区募捐活动所设的盒
子里。total 总的，所有的，全部的，符合语境。chief 主要的；basic 基本的；actual 实
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
际的，现实的。
44．B【解析】此处应该用表目的的介词for，意为"为，为了"。
45．D【解析】往募捐盒里放的当然是"零钱"了，所以应该用change。work 工作；time 时间；
energy 精力，能量。
46．B【解析】推理判断题。从杰弗斯博士的回信可看出，使用大脑扫描设备，虽然不能完
全解读人的大脑活动，但研究者在百分之七十的时间里能对人大脑的活动进行正确的假
设。这说明，在解读人的大脑活动这个领域，人类已经取得了一些进步。some progress
has been made 与杰弗斯博士回信中的最后一句but it's certainly a first step 相一致。
47．A【解析】细节理解题。根据杰弗斯博士在第二封信中提到的观点，人的大脑对预料到
要发生的事情一般不理睬，而对未预料到的刺激会做出略显惊慌的反应。被别人胳肢时
发笑，是因为被胳肢是没有预料到的。
48．B【解析】推理判断题。本文是两封询问信件和两封回复信件。有关小孩的信息在第二
封询问信的第一句My three-year-old son loves it ．．．那小孩应该是写信人的儿子，写信
人是Glenn Lewis，因此选B。
49．C【解析】推理判断题。根据开头的信息"本月杰弗斯博士将回答关于人脑和其如何工
作的问题"可知，杰弗斯很可能是研究人的大脑的专家。
50．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段第一句中的信息Duret， an engineer on vacation 可
知，他到纽约度假来了。
51．D【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段内容可知，救护车来后不久Duret 就和他的女
友乘出租车离开了现场，从第二段也可看出救人后他很快就离开了现场，所以答案选D
项。
52．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句"He handed the girl to her father， David
Anderson， who had dived in after him．"可知，跟在他(Duret)后面跳进河里救小女孩的
是女孩的父亲David Anderson。
53．B【解析】推理判断题。因为营救那个女孩后Duret 很快就离开了现场，所以当天没有
人知道他到底是谁，记者不可能在当天采访他，排除D 项；事情发生在他准备离开纽
约的前一天，故排除C 项；根据倒数第二段可知，Duret 直到离开才意识到自己的英雄
主义故事对纽约感动之大，但看不出是在动身回家的当天人们就知道他是救人英雄的，
再结合第二段内容可知人们很可能是过了几天后才发现Duret 是救人英雄的。
54．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句"Joyce stayed at home， cooking and cleaning
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
like a typical housewife of the time， though everything took three times as long．"可知Joyce，
即母亲在家务活上花费的时间比现在多。
55．C【解析】细节理解题。从第四段可看出，关于过去的生活方式， Joyce 不喜欢的是：
过去人同样有许多麻烦和烦恼，她很庆幸今天没有必要考虑要解决那些令人烦恼的问题。
她喜欢的是：过去人的生活很简单。所以C 项当选。
56．C【解析】推理判断题。由文章最后所列举的在1900 年的屋子体验生活时家庭成员各
自感到最想念的东西可知，Hilary 最想要摇滚乐唱片，由此可推断出Hilary 最盼望的是
听音乐。
57．A【解析】猜测词义题。由画线词和前面的名词之间由并列连词and 连接可推断出，
correspondence 和前面的"一系列无休止的广告"意思接近，广告实际上就是向人们推销
的产品的信息，故选A 项。
58．D【解析】推理判断题。由第二段的第三句可知，垃圾邮件如此之多的主要原因是更多
的广告者开始通过大量地发邮件来推销他们的产品。
59．D【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，广告者滥发邮件造成公司的计算机
网络瘫痪，公司需要不停地修理计算机网络，这些计算机问题增加的生产成本最终转移
到消费者身上。由此可知，垃圾邮件泛滥最终的受害者是消费者。
60．C【解析】写作意图题。从文章的标题"停止滥发邮件!"就可看出，文章的写作目的是说
服那些滥发邮件的人，不要损害他人利益来推销他们的产品。
61．C 62．F 63．D 64．B 65．A 66．speed/rate 67．eager
68．habit 69．absent/away 70．explain 71．discussing 72．encourage

Forests in the northern half of the globe could be growing faster now than they were 200
years ago as a result of climate change， according to a study of trees in eastern America．
The trees appear to have faster growth rates due to longer growing seasons and higher
concentrations(浓度) of carbon dioxide in the 41 ．
Geoffrey Parker ， a scientist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Centre in
Edgewater， Maryland， said that the increase in the rate of growth was unexpected and might be
42 to the higher temperatures and longer growing seasons documented in the region．The
growth may also be influenced by the significant 43 in atmospheric CO2， he said．
"We made a list of reasons these forests could be growing faster and then excluded half of
them，"Dr Parker said．Their study suggests that northern forests may become increasingly
important in 44 the influence of man-made CO2 on the climate．
Dr Parker and his colleagues have 45 out a detailed record of the trees on a(n) 46
basis since 1987．They calculated that due to the global warming the forest is producing 47
tons of wood each year．
The scientists 48 the land with trees at different stages of growth and found that both
young and old trees were showing increased growth rate． More than 90 per cent of the tree
groups had grown by between two and four times faster than the scientists had 49 from
estimates of the long-term rates of growth．
Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions：For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A，B，
C and D．Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context．
The first attempt of even the most talented artists， musicians， and writers is seldom a
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
masterpiece． If you consider your drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排)， or tryouts， revising will
seem a natural part of the writing 50 ．
What is the purpose of the dress rehearsals and the out-of-town previews that many
Broadway shows go through? The answer is adding， deleting， replacing， reordering， — 51
revising ．Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a
process． When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984， he had in mind a funny， exciting
production． However， when Phantom opened in London in 1986， the audience saw a moving
psychological love story set to music． The musical had 52 several revisions due，
in part， to problems with costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆)． For instance， Lloyd Webber
53 some of the music because the Phantom’s makeup prevented the actor from singing certain
sounds．
When you revise， you change aspects of your work in 54 to your evolving
purpose， or to include 55 ideas or newly discovered information．
Revision is not just an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an
assignment． 56 ， it is a major stage of the writing process， and writers revise every step
of the way． Even your decision to 57 topics while prewriting is a type of revising． However，
don’t make the mistake of skipping the revision stage that follows 58 ． Always make time to
become your own 59 and view your dress rehearsal， so to speak． Reviewing your work in
this way can give you 60 new ideas．
Rsvising involves 61 the effectiveness and appropriateness of all aspects of your
writing， making your purpose more clearly， and refocusing or developing the facts and ideas
you present． When you revise， ask yourself the following questions， keeping in mind the
audience for whom you are writing： Is my main idea or purpose 62 throughout my
draft? Do I ever lose sight of my purpose? Have I given my readers all of the 63 —
that is， facts，opinions， inferences — that they need in order to understand my main idea?
Finally， have I included too many 64 details that may confuse readers?

Section B
Directions：Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D．Choose the
one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read．
(A)
The elephant was lying heavily on its side， fast asleep． A few dogs started barking at
it． The elephant woke up in a terrible anger： it chased the dogs into the village where they ran
for safety． That didn’t stop the elephant． It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several
people． The villagers were scared and angry． Then somone suggested calling Parbati， the
elephant princess．
Parbati Barua’s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer． He taught Parbati to ride
an elephant before she could even walk． He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant
round-up — how to catch wild elephants．
Parbati hasn’t always lived in the jungle． After a happy childhood hunting with her father，
she was sent to boarding school in the city． But Parbati never got used to being there and many
years later she went back to her old life． "Life in the city is too dull． Catching elephants is an
adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase，" she says．
But Parbati doesn’t catch elephants just for fun． "My work，" she says， "is to rescue man
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
from the elephants， and to keep the elephants safe from man．" And this is exactly what Parbati
has been doing for many years． Increasingly， the Indian elephant is angry： for many years，
illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of
land． It is now fighting back． Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village， Parbati
is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill．
The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion． A good elephant tamer will
spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant． "Eventually they grow to
love their tamers and never forget them． They are also more loyal than humans，" she said， as
she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant， happy animal． An elephant princess
indeed!
65．For Parbati， catching elephants is mainly to ．
A．get long lasting excitement
B．keep both man and elephants safe
C．send them back to the jungle
D．make the angry elephants tame
66．Before Parbati studied in a boarding school， ．
A．she spent her time hunting with her father
B．she learned how to sing love songs
C．she had already been called an elephant princess
D．she was taught how to hunt tigers
67．Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because ．
A．they are caught and sent for heavy work
B．illegal hunters capture them and kill them
C．they are attacked and their land gets limited
D．dogs often bark at them and chase them
68．The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India ．
A．people easily fall victim to elephants’ attacks
B．the man-elephant relationship is getting worse
C．elephant tamers are in short supply

The following card includes a brief summary and a short assessment of a research paper． It
can provide a guide for further reading on the topic．
69．The research paper published is primarily concerned with ．
A．the way of preventing employee turnover
B．methods of improving employee performance
C．factors affecting employee turnover and performance
D．pay structures based on employee performance
70．As is mentioned in the card， the limitation of the research paper mainly lies in that ．
A．the data analysis is hardly reliable
B．the research sample is not wide enough
C．the findings are of no practical value
D．the research method is out-of-date
71．Who might be most interested in this piece of information?
A．Job hunters．
B．Employees in blue-chip companies．
C．Mid-level managers．
D．Researchers on employee turnover．
Trevor， C． O．， Lansford， B． and Black， J． W．， 2004， "Employee turnover
(人事变更) and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and
promotion"， Journal of Armchair Psychology， vol． 113， no．1， pp． 56-64．
In this article Trevor et al． review the influences of pay and job opportunities in
respect of job performance， turnover rates and employees' job attitude． The authors
use data gained through organizational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver，
Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked
to salary growth． Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such
as pay for performance and organizational reward plans． The article is useful as
Trevor et al． suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a
variety of differences in employees' job attitude and performance． The main
limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted to mid-level
management， thus the authors indicate that further， more extensive research needs
to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee
turnover and job performance．As this article was published in a professional journal，
the findings can be considered reliable． It will be useful additional information for the
research on pay structures．

The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about． But one more has just
been added — a communications blackout caused by solar storms．
After a period of calm within the Sun， scientists have detected the signs of a fresh cycle of
sunspots that could peak in 2012， just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London．
Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw
billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth， causing strong solar storms that could jam
the telecommunications satellites and internet links sending live Olympic broadcast from London．
"The Sun’s activity has a strong influence on the Earth． The Olympics could be in the
middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites，
" said Professor Richard Harrison， head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
in Oxfordshire．
At the peak of the cycle， violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射)
occur in the Sun’s atmosphere， throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter． " A
coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million
kilometres per hour． Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount， can disable
satellites， cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications，" Professor Harrison
added． The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots．
Next week in America， NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity
called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)， which will take images of the Sun that are 10
times clearer than the most advanced televisions available．
The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture
images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur．
Professor Richard Holdaway， the lab’s director， said that the SDO should be able to
provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications
on Earth． "If we have advance warning， we’ll be able to reduce the damage． What you don’t
want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what’s caused the problem，" he said．
72 ．The phrase "communications blackout" in Paragraph 1 most probably refers to
during the 2012 Olympics．
A．the extinguishing of the Olympic torch
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．the collapse of broadcasting systems
C．the transportation breakdown in London
D．the destruction of weather satellites
73．What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage?
A．The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth．
B．The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle．
C．It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth．
D．The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections．
74．According to the passage， NASA will launch a satellite to ．
A．take images of the solar system
B．provide early warning of thunderstorms
C．keep track of solar activities
D．improve the communications on Earth
75．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．Solar Storms： An Invisible Killer
B．Solar Storms： Earth Environment in Danger
C．Solar Storms： Threatening the Human Race
D．Solar Storms： Human Activities to Be Troubled
Section C
Directions：Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each
paragraph．There is one extra heading which you do not need．
A．Drug overuse and its consequence
B．The problem of drug overuse in America
C．Benefits of medicine and its wise use
D．Female drug overuse with reference to that of males
E．Misuse of medicine among the young generation
F．Improper use of medicine among senior citizens
76．
Nowadays， millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other

drugs． Research by the American National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA， 1999) shows that
around 2% of the population over age 12 were using drugs non-medically．
77．
NIDA views medications as a powerful force for good in the contemporary world． They
reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease． They make it
possible for doctors to perform complicated surgery to save lives． Many people afflicted by
serious medical conditions are able to control their symptoms and become active， contributing
citizens． NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drugs use them in a responsible
manner．
78．
Nevertheless， overuse of drugs such as opioids， central nervous system(CNS) depressants
and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is therefore becoming a serious
public health concern． Although this abuse affects many people worldwide， particular trends of
concern to the medical profession in the US appear among older adults， teenagers and women．
79．
Though it may be a surprise to many， the misuse of medications may be the most common
form of drug abuse among the elderly． Dr Kenneth Schmader of Duke University， North
Carolina states that although the elderly represent about 13% of the US population， those aged 65
and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs． People in this age group use
medications roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer compliance
with instructions for use． In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs， 70%
were women who had overused medicines．
80．
Unfortunately， this trend among women does not only affect those aged over 65． In general，
among women and men who are using either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative， women are twice
as likely to become addicted． In addition， statistics compiled for 12-17 year olds show that
teenage girls are more likely than teenage boys to begin overusing psychotherapeutic medication
such as painkillers， tranquillisers， stimulants and sedatives．

Section D
Directions：Read the passage carefully．Then answer the questions or complete the statements in
the fewest possible words．
Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum
(核心课程)，but with a difference． While group sports are still part of the curriculum， the new
way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class． Instead of learning how to climb a rope，
children are taught to lift weights， balance their diets and build physical endurance． In this way，
kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest
of their life．
Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight， supporters say
more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum． In many cases， that may mean
not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed
programs because school boards often "put P．E． on the chopping block， cutting it entirely or
decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered，"says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg， the executive
director of Action for Health Kids． The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of
a national standard．"Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum，" she added．
The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support． Researchers at the University
of Wisconsin have demonstrated how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be． They
observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country
than when they played sports． The researchers also found that teaching sports like football
resulted in less overall movement， partly because reluctant students were able to sit on the bench．
Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a tiny
percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school． The new method
teaches skills that translate to adulthood．
(Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．)
81．In the new P．E． program， children learn to lift weights， balance their diets and build
physical endurance rather than ．
82．As for P．E．， some school boards either ．
83．What are the two problems with simply teaching group sports?
84．What is the long-term benefit of the new P．E program?

2010 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(上海卷)
英语答案
1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．D 6．C 7．B 8．B 9．A 10．D
11．B 12．D 13．C 14．D 15．B 16．A
17．Gerald 18．flu 19．Normal 20．mixture
21．recommend a book 22．Science fiction(stories)
23．the perfect society 24．huge spiders
25．B【解析】考查介词的用法。这里表达的是"沿着林阴道慢跑"，所以要用along。语意为：
Sean 已经养成了每天沿着林阴道慢跑两个小时的好习惯。
26．C【解析】考查数词+名词作定语的用法。三个小时的旅程应该用"a three-hour journey"。
语意：我们花了很长时间才到达娱乐公园，有3 个小时的路程。按构词规则，由"数词+
名词"构成的复合词中的名词要用单数，即three-hour。
27．D【解析】考查代词的用法。语意：如果父母为我们做所有的事情，我们就学不会独立。
主句的主语是we，所以宾语要用其反身代词ourselves。
28．B【解析】考查动词的时态。由时间状语"Every few years"可知本句应该用一般现在时。
语意为：为了确保健康，每隔几年煤炭工人都要进行肺部的X 光检查。
29．C【解析】考查情态动词的用法。由后面的原因状语"as yesterday was the deadline"可以
看出，这里要表示的是"该做的事情没有做"，所以要用should have done。答语的意思
是：你应该完成的，因为昨天是最后的期限。
30．D【解析】考查短语辨析。语意为：在古代，人们很少出远门，大部分农民最远到过当
地的市场。根据语意可知，空格处应选D 项，意为"远至"。
31．D【解析】考查动词的时态和语态。由后面的"The work is almost finished．"可以看出，
修复工作正在进行，又因为主语which(指代The church tower)和谓语动词restore 是逻辑
上的动宾关系，所以要用现在进行时的被动语态。故选D。
32．D【解析】考查句式结构。这里考查的是一个固定句式：have difficulty(in)doing sth，意
为：做某事有困难。故选D。
33．A【解析】考查非谓语动词。语意为：Lucy 很有幽默感，她的故事总能让同事们开心。
作宾语her colleagues 的补语，所以用amused，意思是：开心的。
34．C【解析】考查让步状语从句。语意为：无论遇到多么大的困难，你都得鼓起勇气面对
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
挑战。很显然，逗号前为一个让步状语从句，所以要用"however(=no matter how)+形容
词+主语+谓语"结构。
35．A【解析】考查非谓语动词的用法。非谓语动词在句中作状语，并且和其逻辑主语we
之间是主谓关系，所以要用现在分词形式。语意为：一到达市中心，映入眼帘的是一座
约10 米高的石像。
36．A【解析】考查表语从句的引导词。表示"……的原因是……"要用句型：(one) reason
(for．．．)is that．．．她喜欢城市生活的原因之一就是她可以轻松地出入商店和餐馆。
37．B【解析】考查宾语从句。由结构可以看出，所填的成分作谓语动词know 的宾语，引
导词(which)应放在从句的句首，其后要用陈述语序，因此应该选择B。语意为：当变换
车道的时候，司机应该使用转向灯让其他司机知道他要进入哪一个车道。
38．C【解析】考查"介词+which"引导的定语从句。表示"重新回到……上"要用return to。
which 替代的是先行词"an ancient source of energy"。语意为：风能是一种古老的能源，
在不久的将来我们可能要重新利用这种能源。
39．B【解析】考查连词辨析。语意为：我们将接受汤姆成为俱乐部的一员，除非经理反对
他加入。unless 意为"除非"，符合语意。
40．B【解析】考查非谓语动词的用法。受插入语we can imagine 的干扰，很容易误选A。
去掉插入成分可以看出，后面的" the overuse of water in students' bathrooms．"是定
语，修饰中心词way。这种表达形式只有两种：a way of doing sth 或者是a way to do sth，
故选B。
41．F【解析】由常识和语境可知，树木快速生长的原因是生长期的延长和大气中二氧化碳
浓度的增大，所以选F，意为"大气"。
42．G【解析】考查动词的用法。match 相匹配，一致。生长速度的增加超出了我们的预料，
可能与较高的温度和较长的生长期相一致。
43．J【解析】考查语境化选词。第一段告诉我们，空气中二氧化碳的浓度增大，导致了北
半球树木生长的加快，由此可知这里所说的大气中二氧化碳的增加，所以用increase。
44．H【解析】根据常识，树木的增加有助于减少二氧化碳对气候的影响，所以这里选择
reducing。
45．I【解析】由该空所在的位置可以看出，这里需要一个过去分词和out 构成固定搭配，
再联系上下文可知应用carried。carry out 实行，实施。从1987 年开始，Parker 博士和
他的同事就定期对树木进行了详细记录。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
46．C【解析】考查固定搭配。在名词basis 前，需要一个形容词修饰，再结合意思可知应
选regular。on a regular basis 为固定搭配，意为：定期地。
47．A【解析】考查语境化选词。修饰单位名词tons，要用形容词；前文告诉我们，气候的
变化，导致了树木生长速度加快，也可以说，木头的产量逐年增长，由此可知，应该选
additional，意为：额外的，附加的。
48．E【解析】考查动词辨析。由"and found"可以看出，这里需要一个动词的过去式，科学
家对区域内不同生长期的树木进行了研究，所以要用identify。
49．D【解析】第三段告诉我们：the increase in the rate of growth was unexpected。由此可以
看出，这里要表达的意思是：90%的树木的增长速度比科学家们之前预计的长期的增长
速度快2—4 倍。predict 预计。
50．C【解析】下文第四段第二句中的"it is a major stage of the writing process"是答案提示。
修改是写作过程中的自然部分。technique"技术"，style"风格"，career"事业"，都不符题
意。
51．D【解析】该空前面的"adding， deleting， replacing， reordering"都是revising(修改润
色)的具体解释，所以用介词短语in other words，意为"换句话说"。 in particular"尤其"(表
递进)；as a result"因此"(表结果)；for example"例如"(用来引出例子)。
52．A【解析】undergo"经历"。上文中的"Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Phantom of the Opera
underwent such a process．"是答案提示。语意为：在某种程度上由于戏服和化妆的问题，
音乐剧(Phantom)经历了几次修改。
53．A【解析】由"For instance"可以看出，这是举例论证上一句的内容，结合上一句的"revisions"
可以看出，此处应该选A 项，意为"重写，改写"。release 释放，发布，record 记录，reserve
预订，都不符题意。
54．B【解析】当修改作品时，你会改变作品中的某些方面来回应你在写作时不断发展的目
的，或融入你新的观点或者是新发现的信息。
55．D【解析】fresh idea 新的观点，与后面的newly discovered information 对应。
56．C【解析】instead 反而。修改不仅仅是……相反，它是写作过程中的一个重要环节。
57．B【解析】此处表示，甚至在写作前决定变换标题也是修改作品的一种类型，switch"改
变"，符合语境。
58．A【解析】drafting 起草。该句是承接上文所说的，也就是说，在起草(初步完稿)之后，
不要犯了跳过修改润色这一步的错误。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
59．C【解析】audience 观众，与下句view your dress rehearsal(观看你的彩排)对应。比如说，
要经常拿出时间来当自己的观众，观看自己(作品)的彩排。
60．B【解析】valuable 有价值的。很显然，检查自己的作品，也就是说，用这种方法修改
作品可以获得有价值的新想法。
61．D【解析】assess 评价。修改润色包括对你的作品各方面的效果以及得体性的评价，使
你的目的阐述得更清楚……
62．D【解析】在整个草稿中我的文章大意或写作意图是否清晰?上文"making your purpose
more clearly"是答案提示。
63．C【解析】下文的facts，opinions，inferences 都属于information。我是否把包括事实、
观点以及推论这些读者为了了解我的主要意思所需要的所有的信息告诉了他们?
64．A【解析】根据后面的定语从句"that may confuse readers"可以看出，应该用"unnecessary
details"，根据常识可知， "多余的信息"反而使读者困惑，误导读者。
65．B【解析】细节理解题。由倒数第二段的"is to rescue man from the elephants， and to keep
the elephants safe from man"可知Parbati 是为了保障大象与人的安全而驯象的。
66．A【解析】细节理解题。 由第三段的"After a happy childhood hunting with her father， she
was sent to boarding school in the city．"可知她从小与父亲一起在丛林中打猎，之后才去
寄宿学校的。由此可以看出应该选A。
67．C【解析】细节理解题。由倒数第二段的"Increasingly， the Indian elephant is angry： for
many years， illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to
small pieces of land．"可知答案。
68．B【解析】推理判断题。文章开头的故事是为了引出大象公主所从事的有意义的工作，
而这项工作之所以有意义，正是因为人类和大象关系的不断恶化：人类的生活打扰了大
象，大象开始报复人类。由此可知答案。
69．C【解析】主旨大意题。方框中第一段的"Employee turnover (人事变更) and job
performance"可知答案。
70．B【解析】细节理解题。由最后一段的倒数第三句可知，此次研究的局限性在于研究抽
样仅限于中层管理人员，也就是说取样不够广泛。
71．D【解析】推理判断题。由文章最后一句"It will be useful additional information for the
research on pay structures．"可知，本文为工资结构研究提供了有效的信息。再联系方框
中第一段的"Employee turnover(人事变更)and job performance：monitoring the influences
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
of salary growth and promotion"可知D 项正确。
72．B【解析】词义推测题。由第三段的 "causing strong solar storms that could jam the
telecommunications satellites and internet links sending live Olympic broadcast from
London"可以看出，B 项正确。
73．D【解析】推理判断题。由第五段的第一句和最后一句可以看出，太阳活动周期的最高
峰就是日冕物质抛射，这期间太阳黑子数量最多。由此可以推出D 正确。
74．C【解析】细节理解题。由第六段可以，NASA 将发射一颗卫星监视太阳的活动。注意
选项"keep track of"与原文"monitor"是同义替代。
75．D【解析】标题判断题。纵观全文可知看出，文章介绍的是太阳运动给我们带来的麻烦
(e．g． disable satellites， cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications)。所

the city for a few minutes waiting to 24 ． We were also told to remain in our seats

第二部分 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
第一节 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom
entirely lined with bookshelves， most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold
of． In fact， I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably
powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into， take part in and
live in．
With this unshakable belief， I， at fourteen， decided to become a writer． Here too，
reading became useful． Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say， but being
unable to find the right ways to say it． He has to find his own voice by reading widely and
discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with， or agrees with so strongly that
it reshapes his own world． He cannot write without loving to read， because only through reading
other people’s writing can one discover what works， what doesn’t and， in the end， together
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
with lots of practice， what voice he has．
Now I am in college， and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作
品)． As a law student， my reading is in fact limited to subject matter — the volume (量) of what
I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else． Such
reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called
life． Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own． It allows me to travel across
the high seas and along the Silk Road， all from the comfort of my own armchair， to experience，
though secondhand， exciting experiences that I wouldn’t necessarily be able to have in my
lifetime．
41．What can be inferred about the author as a child?
A．He never watched TV． B．He read what he had to．
C．He found reading unbelievable． D．He considered reading part of his life．
42．The underlined word "voice" in the second paragraph most probably means " "．
A．an idea B．a sound quality
C．a way of writing D．a world to write about
43．What effect does reading have on the author?
A．It helps him to realize his dream．
B．It opens up a wider world for him．
C．It makes his college life more interesting．
D．It increases his interest in worldwide travel．
44．Which of the following can be the best title of this text?
A．Why do I read? B．How do I read?
C．What do I read? D．When do I read?
B
Boiler rooms are often dirty and steamy， but this one is clean and cool． Fox Point is a very
new 47-unit living building in South Bronx， one of the city’s poorest areas． Two-thirds of the
people living there are formerly ( 以前) homeless people， whose rent is paid by the
government． The rest are low-income families． The boiler room has special equipment， which
produces energy for electricity and heat． It reuses heat that would otherwise be lost to the air，
reducing carbon emissions (碳排放) while also cutting costs．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Fox Point is operated by Palladia， a group that specializes in providing housing and services
to needy people． Palladia received support from Enterprise Community Partners (ECP)， which
helps build affordable housing by providing support to housing developers．
ECP has created national standards for healthy， environmentally (环境方面) clever and
affordable homes which are called the Green Communities Standards． These standards include
water keeping ， energy saving and the use of environmentally friendly building
materials． Meeting the standards increases housing construction costs by 2%， which is rapidly
paid back by lower running costs． Even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can
help save energy．
Michael Bloomberg， New York’s mayor， plans to create 165，000 affordable housing units
for 500，000 New Yorkers． Almost 80% of New York City’s greenhouse-gas emissions come
from buildings， and 40% of those are caused by housing． So he recently announced that the
city’s Department of Housing and Preservation and Development (DHPD)， whose duty is to
develop and keep the city’s supply of affordable housing， will require all its new projects to
follow ECP’s green standards．
Similar measures have been taken by other cities， such as Cleveland and Denver， but New
York’s DHPD is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country．
45．What is the purpose of describing the boiler room in the first paragraph?
A．To explain the measures the city takes to care for poor people．
B．To suggest that affordable housing is possible in all areas．
C．To show how the environment-friendly building works．
D．To compare old and new boiler rooms．
46．What is an advantage of the buildings meeting the Green Communities Standards?
A．Lower running costs．
B．Costing less in construction．
C．Less air to be lost in hot days．
D．Better prices for homeless people．
47．It can be learned from the text that ．

Somali pirates(海盗) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly 1，200
miles off the Somali coast， the farthest-off-shore attack to date， an officer said Tuesday．
Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡逻) by warships off
the Somali shore． The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal
operation area for the international force， said a spokesman．
The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols
against pirates were having a "marked effect on pirate activity in the area"．
"Once they start attacking that far out， you’re not even really talking about the Somali basin
or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia ，" said an officer ， Roger
Middleton． "Once you’re that far out，it’s just the Indian Ocean， and it means you’re looking at
trade going from the Gulf to Asia， from Asia to South Africa． "
"This is the farthest robbing to date． They are now operating near the Maldives and India，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
" said another officer．
The three ships — the MV Prantalay 11，12， and 14 — had 77 members on board in
total． All of them are Thai， the spokesman said． Before the Sunday robbing， pirates held 11
ships and 228 sailors．
Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes of catching more dollar
payments． Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships， the success rate(率) has
gone down， though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year．

B．The patrols are more difficult．
C．More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia．
D．The patrols only drive the pirates to other areas．
56．How many sailors were held by the pirates up to the time of the report?

Fear plays no part in this latest problem．"I’m not afraid I’ll lose my children． I won’t lose
my children． We live together， and nothing， nothing，" she repeats， her voice rising when
speaking to John’s lawyer， "will stop me from being with my children． A law? Yeah，
right． Don’t disturb me when it comes to my children． You are never going to win． If John
wants to see them， I cannot stop him． He’s their father — I want them to see him! However，

John， who has spent much of his time in California recently， has only hired a house for

he can be part of making our children’s lives more stable．"
While matters of money and care won’t be settled for weeks，Jane hardly puts her life on
hold． Last week the ABC network announced that Jane would return with her own show， Twist
of Jane，in which she gives advice to other moms． Jane and her eight children will also return to
ABC in a series of Jane Plus 8 specials showing them on various adventures． It’s a rest for Jane，
who insists that she needs her new， busy life to provide for her family． "I have to lead such a
life， and I’m thankful that I’ve built it to the top where now I can support my children， " she
says．
And whether a bellicose (好斗的) dance judge or a bellicose former wife， Jane plans to
keep on facing attacks on her． "Some people try to knock me down — only to make me more
fierce， more protective， more determined to do better，" she says． "Go ahead， take me
on． This will just make me stronger．"

B．Jane continues to live as usual．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．Jane almost can’t control her life．
D．Jane works very hard to live a happy life．

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
2010 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(四川卷)
英语答案
1．A【解析】考查交际用语。——找您的钱。——谢谢。"Don't mention it．"别客气，不算
什么，是对别人道谢时的答语；"No problem．"没问题；"With pleasure．"非常乐意，没
问题，是接受别人请求时的应答用语。
2．D【解析】考查冠词。第一空，复数名词表示泛指，之前不用冠词；第二空，a flying start
泛指"一个飞跃性的开始"。句意：在许多国家，一个大学学位能给你的人生一个飞跃性
的开始。
3．B【解析】考查情态动词。may 表示征求对方的许可。——我能将书带出吗?——恐怕不
行。
4．C【解析】考查过去分词作定语。句中question 与其修饰的名词students 之间是动宾关系
(被动关系)，因此用过去分词作定语。
5．D【解析】考查介词。against"靠，倚"。句意：疲倦了，吉姆背靠着一棵大树很快就睡着
了。
6．A【解析】考查动词的辨析。look 为系动词，意为"看起来"。句意：有些人用眼选择东
西吃，他们喜欢点看起来好的菜。smell"闻起来"，feel"感觉起来"，taste"尝起来"。
7．C【解析】考查代词。空线处作介词of 的宾语，应该用人称代词的宾格，故排除B、D
选项。由语意"桌上有张小时候父亲为我拍的照片"可知答案为C。
8．B【解析】考查动词短语的辨析。get up 站起来。句意：很幸运，詹妮找座位时，有个男
的站起来离开了。take up"拿起，捡起，占去(地方、时间、注意力等)，开始从事(一项
事业、一种职业等)"；shut up"关闭(门、窗等)，(使)住口"；set up"开办，装配，建立"。
9．D【解析】考查倒装句。seldom 置于句首时，句子要采用部分倒装。句意：我们听到笑
话会开怀大笑，但我们很少思考它是怎样让人笑的。
10．B【解析】考查非限制性定语从句。在此，which 引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面句
子的内容。句意：大学毕业后我抽出一部分时间去旅游，事实证明这是一个明智的选择。
11．A【解析】考查动词不定式的用法。某些形容词(pleasant， nice， comfortable， difficult，
hard， easy 等)后接动词不定式时，常用主动形式表示被动意义。
12．C【解析】考查形容词的用法。修饰number 的形容词可以是large 或small，结合语意"
因为学生数量增长过多，所以这所学校迁出了市区"可知答案为C。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
13．A【解析】考查交际用语。——很抱歉，这没多大帮助。——这的确有帮助，实际上这
十分有用。
14．B【解析】考查名词性从句。在此who 引导宾语从句，并在从句中作with 的宾语。句
意：一个人享受旅游的程度很大部分取决于他与谁一起旅游，是他的朋友还是他的亲戚。
15．A【解析】考查主谓一致。第一空格poets 为主语，第二空格some (works)为主语，谓
语动词都应该用复数。
16．D【解析】考查动词时态。在时间状语从句中，当表示将来完成的意义时，用现在完成
时代替将来完成时。
17．B【解析】考查现在分词的用法。句中现在分词作伴随状语。not trying．．．表示" 不努
力做……"，trying not．．．表示"努力不……"，意义不同。句意：律师专注地倾听着，
努力不错过任何要点。
18．D【解析】考查语态。由语意"你没有达到期望"可知，宾语从句中用一般过去时；从句
中的主语you 是动词expect 的承受者，故谓语动词用一般过去时的被动语态。
19．A【解析】考查特殊句型。本句为"祈使句+and +陈述句"句型；do 是对谓语动词devote
的强调。
20．C【解析】考查状语从句。when 引导时间状语从句。句意：因为交通拥挤，当她到达
办公室时已是午休时间了。
21．B【解析】delay"耽搁，延期"。由下文的描述可知，此处表示飞行员抱歉地说"飞机要
延迟着陆"。
22．A【解析】force sb to do sth "强迫某人去做某事"。强风迫使机场只开放一条跑道。
23．C【解析】circle"盘旋， 环绕……移动"。飞行员说，我们将在城市上空盘旋，择机着
陆。
24．D【解析】land 在此作动词，意为"着陆"。上文信息．．．before setting down 有暗示。文
段主要讲飞机着陆前发生的故事。
25．C【解析】because 引导原因状语从句。该句的上下分句是因果关系。我们被要求坐在
座位上，而且要系好安全带，因为飞机会颠簸。
26．B【解析】pale 苍白的，暗淡的。pale by comparison"相形见绌， 黯然失色"。相比而言，
似乎使过山车黯然失色。
27．A【解析】sick 恶心的。飞机的颠簸使几位乘客感到恶心，呕吐。下文had to use airsickness
bags 有暗示。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
28．B【解析】narrow 狭窄的，有限的。大家都知道，飞机空间狭小。
29．D【解析】serve to do sth 起作用，产生……效果。在飞机狭小的空间里有人呕吐，这会
增加不适感。
30．A【解析】二十分钟后，飞机内一片沉寂。
31．D【解析】clearly 明显地。很明显有人感到着急、害怕。

41．D【解析】推理判断题。文章第一段讲，作者家里的电视很少开着，作者童年的大部分
时间都花在看书上了，而且作者认为看书像呼吸一样是自然的事，所以作者认为读书是
生活的一部分。
42．C【解析】词义理解题。第二段中"Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to
say， but being unable to find the right ways to say it． He has to find his own voice by
reading widely．．．"表明，voice 在文中具体指一种写作方法。
43．B【解析】推理判断题。第一段中信息"in shaping perspectives(观点) by creating worlds we
could step into， take part in and live in"以及第三段中信息"Reading fiction reminds me
that there is life beyond my own． It allows me to travel across the ．．．"可知，读书为作
者开阔了视野。

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
45．C【解析】推理判断题。文中第一段介绍了这种环保建筑是怎样起作用的，为下文说明
这种建筑被广泛应用埋下了伏笔。
46．A【解析】细节理解题。由第三段信息"．．．increases housing construction costs by 2%， which
is rapidly paid back by lower running costs．"可推知，环保建筑的优势是运作成本较低。
47．B【解析】细节理解题。由第四段信息"Almost 80%of New York City's greenhouse-gas
emissions come from buildings， and 40% of those are caused by housing．"可知答案为B。
48．D【解析】主旨大意题。文章比较客观地介绍了一种健康的、环保的、人们有能力购买
的房屋。
49．A【解析】细节理解题。由第二段中的信息"．．．due to open in the autumn of 2010"可知
the new laboratories 还没建起来。
50．C【解析】细节理解题。由第三段中的内容可知b，c，d 都是a ROM 的职责；而根据
本段中的"you will manage a small number of research support employees providing services
to help with the research activities to be carried out at the new laboratories．"可知To carry
out research activities 不是a ROM 的职责，故答案为C。
51．D【解析】段落大意题。通读第四段可知，该段主要介绍了申请人所应具备的必要条件，
因此答案为D。
52．C【解析】写作目的题。文章目的是让大家知晓一个空缺的职位：a Research Operations
Manager(ROM)，满足条件的人可应聘该职位。
53．A【解析】细节理解题。由文中第四段的信息"Once you're that far out， it's just the Indian
Ocean"可知，最近报道的这次海盗袭击已经远离索马里海域，发生在印度洋。
54．B【解析】推理判断题。由第一段中的"Somali pirates(海盗) robbed three Thai fishing ships
with 77 sailors on board nearly l，200 miles off the Somali coast，the farthest-off-shore attack
to date"以及文章接下来的介绍可推知，目前索马里海盗的袭击范围更大了。
55．B【解析】推理判断题。文中讲到为了应对战舰的巡逻，海盗袭击范围开始扩大，而且
袭击次数增加，打击海盗也就更加困难了，故B 项正确。文中第三段信息．．．were having
a "marked effect on pirate activity in the area"表明A 选项错误；文中无信息证明在亚洲很
需要打击海盗的巡逻，C 选项有误；巡逻并不是将海盗赶往其他地方，故D 选项错误。
56．D【解析】简单计算题。结合第一段和倒数第二段可知，最近的一次袭击，海盗控制人
员为77 人，在这之前有228 人，共计305 人。
57．A【解析】推理判断题。文章第一段中Jane 所讲的话表明，法律也不可能把孩子从她身
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
边带走。
58．C【解析】细节理解题。文章第一段Jane 讲到"If John wants to see them， I cannot stop
him．．．However， his visit in his present condition will disturb the children's stable (稳定的)
life．"，再结合第二段中的"If he'd like to stick to a regular life， I'd be more than happy to
do that．"可推知to do that 指代的是"让丈夫看望孩子们" 。
59．B【解析】句意理解题。第三段的信息表明，虽然与孩子有关的问题很久没解决，但Jane
还是像往常一样生活，故可知画线句子的意思为B 项。
60．C【解析】推理判断题。综观全文尤其是最后一段Jane 讲的话可推知她是一个很有决心
的女性。
61．B 62．D 63．G 64．F 65．E
第三部分 写作
66．去掉was【解析】语态问题。An English lady 为动作decided 的发出者，谓语动词不能
用被动语态。
67．past 改成passed【解析】past 不能用作谓语，pass the driving test"通过了驾驶测试"。
68．he 改为she【解析】代词的一致问题。此处指代的是the English lady，应用she。
69．√。
70．after 改成before【解析】由下文内容可知在旅行的前一周，妻子改变了主意。
71．How 改为Why【解析】疑问词用法错误。丈夫问妻子为什么要改变主意。
72．by 改为in/with【解析】介词用法错误。in/with surprise"惊奇地"。
73．on 后加上the【解析】冠词问题。on the right"在右边，在右侧"。
74．couldn't 改为can't【解析】时态的一致问题。该引语用的都是现在时态。

Why play games? Because they are fun ，and a lot more besides ．Following the
rules．．．planning your next move．．．acting as a team member．．．these are all"game" ideas that
you will come across throughout your life．
Think about some of the games you played as a young child， such as rope-jumping and
hide-and-seek． Such games are entertaining and fun． But perhaps more importantly， they
translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected
to follow the rest of their lives， such as taking turns and cooperating(合作)．
Many children's games have a practical side． Children around the world play games that
prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups． For instance， some Saudi Arabian children
play a game called bones， which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting．
Many sports encourage national or local pride． The most famous games of all， the Olympic
Games ， bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly
competition． People who watch the event wave flags， knowing that a gold medal is a win for an
entire country， not just the athlete who earned it． For countries experiencing natural disasters or
war， an Olympic win can mean so much．
Sports are also an event that unites people． Soccer is the most popular sport in the
world． People on all continents play it — some for fun and some for a living． Nicolette Iribarne，
a Californian soccer player， has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer． He created a
foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future．
Next time you play your favorite game or sport， think about why you enjoy it， what skills
are needed， and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life．
41．Through playing hide-and-seek， children are expected to learn to ．
A．be a team leader B．obey the basic rules
C．act as a grown-up D．predict possible danger
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
42．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can ．

A．It inspires people's deep love for the country．
B．It proves the exceptional skills of the winners．

C
In the kitchen of my mother's houses there has always been a wooden stand (木架) with a
small notepad (记事本) and a hole for a pencil．
I'm looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my
mother． Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil， five houses
later， the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did． Surely it can't be the same
pencil? The pad is more modern， but the wooden stand is definitely the original one．
"I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these
years．" I say to her， walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the
pencil． "You still use a pencil． Can't you afford a pen?"
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
My mother replies a little sharply． "It works perfectly well． I've always kept the stand in
the kitchen． I never knew when I might want to note down an idea， and I was always in the
kitchen in those days．"
Immediately I can picture her， hair wild， blue housecoat covered in flour， a wooden spoon
in one hand， the pencil in the other， her mouth moving silently． My mother smiles and says，
"One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline， and I had a brilliant thought， but the stand
was empty． One of the children must have taken the paper． So I just picked up the breadboard
and wrote it all down on the back． It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the
mathematical problem I was working on．"
This story — which happened before I was born — reminds me how extraordinary my
mother was， and is， as a gifted mathematician． I feel embarrassed that I complain about not
having enough child-free time to work． Later， when my mother is in the bathroom， I go into
her kitchen and turn over the breadboards． Sure enough， on the back of the smallest one， are
some pencilled marks I recognize as mathematics． Those symbols have travelled unaffected
through fifty years， rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard， invisible (看不到的)
exhibits at every meal．
46．Why has the author's mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?
A．To leave messages．
B．To list her everyday tasks．
C．To note down maths problems．
D．To write down a flash of inspiration．
47．What is the author's original opinion about the wooden stand?
A．It has great value for the family．
B．It needs to be replaced by a better one．
C．It brings her back to her lonely childhood．
D．It should be passed on to the next generation．
48．The author feels embarrassed for ．
A．blaming her mother wrongly
B．giving her mother a lot of trouble
C．not making good use of time as her mother did
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．not making any breakthrough in her field
49．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The mother is successful in her career．
B．The family members like travelling．
C．The author had little time to play when young．
D．The marks on the breadboard have disappeared．
50．In the author's mind， her mother is ．
A．strange in behaviour
B．keen on her research
C．fond of collecting old things
D．careless about her appearance
D
To err is human． To blame the other guy is even more human．
Common sense is not all that common．
Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?
These three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes， and yet they tell us a lot
about human nature． To err， or to make mistakes， is indeed a part of being human， but it
seems that most people don't want to accept the responsibility for having made a mistake． They
naturally look for someone else who could be responsible for the problem． Perhaps it is the
natural thing to do． The original quote about human nature went like this："To err is human， to
forgive， divine(神圣的)．" This saying mirrors an ideal： people should be forgiving of
others'mistakes． Instead， we tend to do the opposite — find someone else to pass the blame on
to． However， taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity．
Common sense is what we call clear thought． Having common sense means having a good
general plan that will make things work well， and it also means staying with the plan． Common
sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm， but you leave the umbrella home
when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine．Common sense does not seem to be common for
large organizations， because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in
charge of everything．People say that in a large company，"the right hand does not know what the
left hand is doing．"
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a
work of art?One of the common problems with making excuses is that people，especially young
people，get the idea that it's okay not to be totally honest all the time．There is a corollary(直接推
论)to that：if a good excuse is"good"even if it isn't honest， then where is the place of the truth?
51．According to the passage， which of the following seems the most human?
A．To search for truth．
B．To achieve one's ideal．
C．To make fun of others'mistakes．
D．To criticize others for one's own error．
52．According to the author， what is a sign of a man's maturity?
A．Doing things his own way．
B．Bearing responsibility for his mistakes．
C．Making as few mistakes as possible．
D．Thinking seriously about his wrongdoings．
53．Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?
A．A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company．
B．A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather．
C．A company's next move follows a good plan．
D．A lawyer acts on fine judgments．
54．What is the author's opinion about a good excuse?
A．Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy．
B．Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas．
C．A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty．
D．Bitter truth is better than a good excuse．
55．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．A Mirror of Human Nature B．To Blame or to Forgive
C．A Mark of Maturity D．Truth or Excuse

When Dan Shaw gets up from the sofa in his home， Cuddles is never far away． When he
wants to go outside， he doesn't take Cuddles out for a walk — Cuddles takes him for a
walk． Cuddles is clearly no ordinary family pet．It is a two-foot-high miniature horse and serves

possess many qualities that make them an excellent choice for guiding people．They are clean，
friendly，smart and have great memories．They can be trained to remain calm in noisy and
crowded places． Best of all， they live for 25-35 years， which would enable Shaw to have the
same guide companion for most or all of his life．
Shaw immediately applied to be and was accepted as the first person to receive a guide
horse．The instant he met Cuddles， he knew he was making the right choice．Then he began his
training．
Through training， Shaw and Cuddles learned to find their way on busy streets， step over
curbs(便道沿儿)and find elevator buttons．Cuddles even demonstrated(显示)its ability to step in
front of Shaw and block him， to prevent him from walking into a dangerous situation． The little
horse also expertly led Shaw through busy shopping malls． They got along without any
difficulties．Now Shaw is confident that Cuddles will change his life for the better．

故只有D 项符合题意。
55．A【解析】主旨概括题。本文采用总分结构，先列举三个观点，然后一一剖析其错误本

Years later， when I stood in the kitchen of my new house， thinking how I wanted to make

children as I could possibly reach．
So I 31 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help． We

第二部分 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
第一节：阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
When you are little， the whole world feels like a big playground． I was living in Conyers，
Georgia the summer it all happened． I was a second grader， but my best friend Stephanie was
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
only in the first grade． Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our
own way．
It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement． As I
opened the basement door， before us lay the biggest room， full of amazing things like guns，
dolls， and old clothes． I ran downstairs， and spotted a red steel can． It was paint． I looked
beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple， orange， blue and green．
"Stephanie， I just found us a project for the day． Get some paintbrushes． We are fixing to
paint．" She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to
work． We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my
yard． There on the road in front of my house， we painted big stripes (条纹) of colors across the
pavement (人行道)． Stripe by stripe， our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow． It was
fantastic!
The sun was starting to sink． I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the
car． It was my mother． I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece． The car pulled slowly into
the driveway and from the look on my mother's face， I could tell that I was in deep trouble．
My mother shut the car door and walked towards me． Her eyes glaring， she shouted，
"What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves， and
climbed the neighbors' trees， but this! Come inside right now!" I stood there glaring back at her
for a minute， angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art．
"Now go clean it up!" Mother and I began cleaning the road． Tears ran down my cheeks as I
saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement．
Though years have now passed， I still wonder where my rainbow has gone． I wonder if，
maybe when I get older， I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away． I guess we all
need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and
dreams colorful．
41．What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?
A．To introduce Stephanie to her．
B．To prevent her from seeing his painting．

Below is a housing guide for students going to London．
University accommodation (住所) offices
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered
landlords (房东)． Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and
other housing organizations． The advantage of using your university accommodation
office is that you can get some support if you have a problem． The disadvantage is
that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students．
Property papers： Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for
co-renters． The offers are from private landlords， agencies and individuals looking
for other co-renters． They also have a website： www． loot．com． The advantage
of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains． The disadvantage is that there
is no quality control over the offers．
Renting is another useful paper． The offers in this paper are mainly from
accommodation agencies． Their website is at www． renting． co．uk．
Accommodation agencies
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through
accommodation agencies． The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that
you will have access to a large number of accommodations． A good agent will listen
to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right
accommodation． The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to
potential renters．
Noticeboards
Around the universities you will find a number of notice-boards where offers of
accommodation will be posted． These will either be from landlords or from
students． Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can
advertise to other students． Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to
find accommodation． However， advertisements from landlords can be problematic．
Word of mouth
Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from
one group of students to another by word of mouth． It might be that you can find out
about good offers from final year students． However， don't suppose that just
because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be
better than that found through any other source．
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London， some students and their
parents will consider buying as an alternative． In some cases this might be a good
choice．
45．What is the advantage of using Loot?
A．It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting．
B．It gives you personal information about other co-renters．
C．Their website is designed mainly for students．
D．There are some good bargains．
46．A good agent can help you ．
A．know more people
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．find cheap accommodation
C．get the right accommodation quickly
D．get free information about most accommodations
47．The information passed on by word of mouth is important because ．
A．it is better than that found through any other source
B．it helps you find some of the best housing never advertised
C．the final year students always offer better information
D．the landlords have little valuable information
48．For students going to London for the first time， which of the following provides the most
reliable information?
A．University accommodation offices． B．Loot and Renting．
C．Noticeboards． D．Family．
C
The term "multitasking" originally referred to a computer's ability to carry out several tasks
at one time． For many people， multitasking has become a way of life and even a key to
success． In fact， some excellent mental aerobic exercises (大脑训练) involve engaging the brain
in two or more challenging activities at a time． Although checking e-mail while talking on a
phone and reading the newspaper may be second nature for some people， many times
multitasking can make us less productive， rather than more． And studies show that too much
multitasking can lead to increased stress， anxiety and memory loss．
In order to multitask， the brain uses an area known as the prefrontal cortex (前额叶脑皮
层)． Brain scans of volunteers performing multiple tasks together show that as they shift from
task to task， this front part of the brain actually takes a moment of rest between tasks． You may
have experienced a prefrontal cortex "moment of rest" yourself if you've ever dialed (拨电话) a
phone number and suddenly forgotten who you called when the line is answered． What probably
occurred is that between the dialing and the answering， your mind shifted to another thought or
task， and then took that "moment" to come back． Research has also shown that for many
volunteers， job efficiency (效率) declines while multitasking， as compared to when they
perform only one task at a time．
Multitasking is easiest when at least one of the tasks is habitual， or requires little
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
thought． Most people don't find it difficult to eat and read the newspaper at the same
time． However， when two or more attention-requiring tasks are attempted at one time， people
sometimes make mistakes．
We often don't remember things as well when we're trying to manage several details at the
same time． Without mental focus， we may not pay enough attention to new information coming
in， so it never makes it into our memory stores． That is one of the main reasons we forget
people's names — even sometimes right after they have introduced themselves． Multitasking can
also affect our relationships． If someone checks their e-mail while on the phone with a friend，
they may come off as absent-minded or disinterested． It can also cause that person to miss or
overlook key information being passed on to them．
49．Why are some mental aerobic exercises designed to engage people in multitasking?
A．To make them more productive．
B．To reduce their stress and anxiety．
C．To develop their communication skills．
D．To help them perform daily tasks more easily．
50．According to Paragraph 2， why may a person suddenly forget who he has called?
A．He may have his prefrontal cortex temporarily damaged．
B．He is probably interrupted by another task．
C．He is probably not very familiar with the person he has called．
D．He may need a rest between dialing and speaking．
51．People tend to make mistakes when ．
A．they perform several challenging tasks at a time
B．new messages are processed one after another
C．their relationships with others are affected
D．the tasks require little thought
52．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Multitasking has become a way of life．
B．Multitasking often leads to efficiency decline．
C．Multitasking exercises need to be improved．
D．Multitasking enables people to remember things better．

My family and I lived across the street from Southway Park since I was four years old． Then
just last year the city put a chain link fence around the park and started bulldozing (用推土机推平)
the trees and grass to make way for a new apartment complex． When I saw the fence and
bulldozers， I asked myself， "Why don't they just leave it alone?"
Looking back， I think what sentenced the park to oblivion (被遗忘) was the drought (旱灾)
we had about four years ago． Up until then， Southway Park was a nice green park with plenty of
trees and a public swimming pool． My friends and I rollerskated on the sidewalks， climbed the
trees， and swam in the pool all the years I was growing up． The park was almost like my own
yard． Then the summer I was fifteen the drought came and things changed．
There had been almost no rain at all that year． The city stopped watering the park
grass． Within a few weeks I found myself living across the street from a huge brown
desert． Leaves fell off the park trees， and pretty soon the trees started dying， too． Next， the
park swimming pool was closed． The city cut down on the work force that kept the park， and
pretty soon it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore．
As the drought lasted into the fall， the park got worse every month． The rubbish piled up or
blew across the brown grass． Soon the only people in the park were beggars and other people
down on their luck． People said drugs were being sold or traded there now． The park had gotten
scary， and my mother told us kids not to go there anymore．
The drought finally ended and things seemed to get back to normal， that is， everything but
the park． It had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way． Then about six
months ago I heard that the city was going to "redevelop" certain worn-out areas of the city． It
turned out that the city had planned to get rid of the park， sell the land and let someone build
rows of apartment buildings on it．
The chain-link fencing and the bulldozers did their work． Now we live across the street
from six rows of apartment buildings． Each of them is three units high and stretches a block in
each direction． The neighborhood has changed without the park． The streets I used to play in are
jammed with cars now． Things will never be the same again． Sometimes I wonder， though，
what changes another drought would make in the way things are today．
53．How did the writer feel when he saw the fence and bulldozers?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．Scared． B．Confused． C．Upset． D．Curious．
54．Why was the writer told not to go to the park by his mother?
A．It was being rebuilt． B．It was dangerous．
C．It became crowded． D．It had turned into a desert．
55．According to the writer， what eventually brought about the disappearance of the park?
A．The drought． B．The crime．
C．The beggars and the rubbish． D．The decisions of the city．
56．The last sentence of the passage implies that if another drought came， ．
A．the situation would be much worse
B．people would have to desert their homes
C．the city would be fully prepared in advance
D．the city would have to redevelop the neighborhood

I needed to buy a digital camera， one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照)，
maybe occasionally for magazines． Being the cautious type， I fancied a reliable brand． So I
went on the net， spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites， wrote down the
names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store． There
in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list． And it was on special offer． Oh joy． I
pointed at it and asked an assistant， "Can I have one of those?" He looked perturbed (不
安)． "Do you want to try it first?" he said． It didn't quite sound like a question． "Do I need to?"
I replied． "There's nothing wrong with it?" This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel
bad． "No， no． But you should try it，" he said encouragingly． "Compare it with the others．"
I looked across at the others： shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall， offering a
wide range of slightly different prices and discounts， with each company selling a range of
models based around the same basic box． With so many models to choose from， it seemed that
I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y， always trying to take Z and possibly H into
account at the same time． But when I had finished， I would still have only the same two
certainties that I had entered the store with： first， soon after I carried my new camera out of the
shop， it would be worth half what I paid for it； and second， my wonderful camera would very
quickly be replaced by a new model．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right
choice， the clever choice， the wise choice． In the end， I agreed to try the model I had
chosen． The assistant seemed a sincere man． So I let him take out my chosen camera from the
cupboard， show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers．．． and when he started to
introduce the special features， I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a
memory card as well．
Why do we think that new options (选择) still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because
they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more
limited than we would like to imagine．
57．The shop assistant insisted that the writer should ．
A．try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it
B．compare the camera he had chosen with the others
C．get more information about different companies
D．trust him and stop asking questions
58．What does the writer mean by "it would be worth half what I paid for it" (Paragraph 2)?
A．He should get a 50% discount．
B．The price of the camera was unreasonably high．
C．The quality of the camera was not good．
D．The camera would soon fall in value．
59．The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he ．
A．knew very little about it
B．didn't trust the shop assistant
C．wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best
D．had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers
60．It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's opinion， ．
A．people waste too much money on cameras
B．cameras have become an important part of our daily life
C．we don't actually need so many choices when buying a product
D．famous companies care more about profit than quality
第二节：Peter， Helen， Catherine， Elizabeth 和Levin 想根据各自在环保方面的兴趣进行
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
案例研究。阅读下面某杂志的专题报道摘要(A、B、C、D、E 和F)，选出适合他们研究的
最佳案例。选项中有一项是多余选项。
61．Peter：Reducing plastic and other wastes through DIY
62．Helen：Making use of the heavy traffic to produce electricity
63．Catherine：Building a community without private cars
64．Elizabeth：Building houses with recycled materials and energy-efficiency systems
65．Levin：Developing a new type of urban car which burns less gas
A
Vauban
We know cars are terrible polluters， but would you give yours up? Vauban， a
community in southwestern Germany， did just that， and its 5，000 citizens are doing
fine． Most streets are free of vehicles， and there are generous green spaces and good
public-transport links， including fast buses and bicycle paths． When people must
drive， they can turn to car-sharing clubs． "All the citizens had the chance to plan their
own city，" says Andreas Delleke， an energy expert， "and it's just how we wanted it
to be．"
B
Denmark
During the period of gas shortage in the early 70s， Denmark decided to become
self-sufficient (自足)． So they began a few projects making smart investments along
the way．
On the island of Samsoe， local families， fishermen and farmers bought wind
turbines (涡轮机) to produce their own energy． Within seven years these turbines were
completely paid for． And can you believe just one of wind turbines produces enough
electricity for 600 households?
C
Trey Parker and Matt Stone
Trey Parker and Matt Stone， creators of South Park， have built a sustainable (可
持续的) castle with outer siding and inner flooring of recycled wood， recycled
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
carpeting， high-efficiency boiler systems．
"I think more and more today， people are willing to make a statement about the
Earth and how they want to protect it，" Michael Rath， home designer and builder
says． "For high-end homes in this valley， this is entirely consistent with what they
cost．"
D
P-NUT
Who doesn't love the name P-NUT — short for Personal-Neo Urban Transport?
It's Honda's latest attempt to create a tiny footprint for a new urban vehicle．
This little P-NUT is unique． With a central driving position， the car is designed
to move in tight settings． The 11-foot micro car will seat three with two rear-seat
passengers behind the driver．
"The P-NUT concept explores the packaging and design potential for a vehicle
designed for the city lifestyle，" said Dave Marek， a Honda design spokesman．
E
Israel Company
Is it possible that annoying rush hour traffic could become a source of renewable
energy?
Israel's Technion Institute of Technology claims that if we placed special
generators (发电机) under roads， railways， and runways — we could harvest enough
energy to mass-produce electricity． A trial process has been used on a smaller scale，
in dance clubs for instance， where the pounding feet of dancers light up the floor．
"We can produce electricity anywhere there is a busy road using energy that
normally goes to waste，" said Uri Amit， chairman of Israel's Technion Institute of
Technology．
F
Coffee
Coffee．Some of us can't start our day without it，and we don't mind waiting 10
minutes in line for it．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Here is the most effective tip to make you a superstar in environment protection．
Get a coffee machine for your home or office，or persuade your company into
buying one．(Tell them it will improve productivity．) Skip the coffee line on the way to
work and make something that is better-tasting and much better for your wallet．
Plus，you won't need those plastic cups or carrying cases that just get thrown
away． Better yet， use your favorite travel mug．

Star Student of the Week
Li Yue has been awarded the title of "Star Student of the Week" for what she did for our
class．_________________________________
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
2010 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(浙江卷)
英语答案
1．C【解析】考查情景交际。——周末野营怎么样，换换口味?——好的，你想干啥咱就干
啥。此处whatever 表示"无论什么"， 作want 的宾语，故选C 项。
2．B【解析】考查冠词。第一空是do harm to 是固定词组，表示"对……有伤害"，harm 为
不可数名词，故用零冠词；第二空用定冠词特指人体的衰弱。所以这里选B 项。
3．A【解析】考查定语从句。解答定语从句关系词选用题的关键是：在主句中找出先行词，
该从句的先行词是nearly 1，000 people，然后把先行词"代入"从句中，判断其在从句中
的"地位"和"作用"，此处先行词在定语从句中作of 的宾语，应该用关系代词whom，据
此选A 项。
4．B【解析】考查动词辨析。大部分镇里人强烈支持为孩子们建操场的计划。support 表示"
支持"，符合语意，选B 项。consider 表示"考虑"；confirm 表示"确认"；submit 表示"呈
递，递交"。
5．D【解析】考查动词的时态。从if 条件句中谓语动词的时态可以知道，主句应该用将来
时态，故排除A、B 和C 项。D 项是将来进行时态，强调"将来某个时刻正在进行的动
作"，符合语意和语法。
6．A【解析】考查形容词辨析。我相信平面媒体要比电视有更高的准确度和可信赖度。此
处用accurate"精确的，准确的"与后面的reliable"可信赖的，可依靠的"保持一致，故答
案选A 项。
7．C【解析】考查短语辨析。我猜我们以前谈过这个问题，但以防万一，我还是要再问问
你。in case 表示"以防，万一"；by nature 表示"天生，生性"；in return 表示"作为……的
回报"；by chance 则表示"偶然，意外地"。根据语意，这里选C 项。
8．C【解析】考查非谓语动词。逻辑主语exercise 与carry out 之间构成动宾关系，故用carry
out的过去分词形式carried out，此处相当于if the exercise is carried out regularly的省略，
所以答案选C 项。
9．B【解析】考查名词性从句。此处是由what 引导的主语从句，指代It 的具体内容，It 是
形式主语，所以这里选B 项。
10．A【解析】考查虚拟语气。从前面Had I known about．．．知，此处是If 条件句对过去情
况的虚拟，所以主句用should/would/could/might+have done 结构，故排除B、C 和D 项，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
选A 项。
11．D【解析】考查副词辨析。你认为网购最终会取代实体店购物吗?D 项finally 表示"最后，
最终"，符合语意。especially 表示"特别，尤其"；frequently 表示"经常"；merely 则表示
"仅仅"，都不符合语意。故这里选D 项。

件。get through"度过(艰难等)"，符合语意。get away with 表示"偷走，受到从轻发落"；

主语，表示"重要的是……"，所以选B 项。
15．B【解析】考查动词的时态。从For many years 可知，此处谓语动词用完成时态，排除
C 项和D 项；又因后一句用的是现在时态，故排除A 项。据此答案应该选B 项"现在完
成时态"。

"确切地说"。
19．A【解析】考查副词辨析。此处though 放在句末，表示"然而，可是"，是副词，而不是

A
Passage 1
The Information Highway is the road that links computer users to a large number of on-line
services： the Web，e-mail，and software，to mention just a few． Not long ago，the Information
Highway was a new road， with not many users． Now，everyone seems to want to take a drive，
with over 30 million families connected worldwide．Not surprisingly，this well-traveled highway
is starting to look like a well-traveled highway． Traffic jams can cause many serious problems，
forcing the system to close down for repair． Naturally，accidents will happen on such a crowded
road，and usually victims are some files，gone forever． Then，of course，there’s Mr． Cool，
with his new broad-band connection，who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can
go． But don’t trick yourself； he pays for that speeding．
Passage 2

observing environmental concerns． The gradual bleaching(变白)of the Great Barrier Reef，which

Think about the different ways that people use the wind．You can use it to fly a kite or to sail
a boat．Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources(来源)，as well as one of the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
oldest．Evidence shows that windmills(风车)began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh
century BC．They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s，when armies returned from
the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power．
For many centuries， people used windmills to grind(磨碎)wheat into flour or pump water
from deep underground．When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s，people living in
remote areas began to use them to produce electricity．This allowed them to have electric lights
and radio．However，by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of
the United States，windmills were rarely used．
During the 1970s，people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created
when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity．People also realized that the supply of coal
and gas would not last forever．Then，wind was rediscovered，though it means higher costs．Today，
there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind．
60．From the text we know that windmills ．
A．were invented by European armies
B．have a history of more than 2，800 years
C．used to supply power to radio in remote areas
D．have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
61．What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?
A．Sailing a boat．
B．Producing electricity．
C．Grinding wheat into flour．
D．Pumping water from underground．
62．One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that ．
A．wind power is cleaner
B．it is one of the oldest power sources
C．it was cheaper to create energy from wind
D．the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs
63．What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A．The advantages of wind power．
B．The design of wind power plants．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．The worldwide movement to save energy．
D．The global trend towards producing power from wind．

They are the sort of friends who are so close they trust each other with their lives．If one falls，
the other is there to catch him．
They are Wellman， whose legs were permanently injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing
accident，and Corbett，an experienced rock climber．Together，they climbed up Half Dome，the
famous 2，000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park，through one of most difficult routes(路线)．
During the climb，Corbett took the lead， hit in the metal spikes (尖状物)that guided the
ropes and climbed up．Then，after Wellman pulled himself up the rope，Corbett went down to
remove the spikes and climbed up again． This process was repeated time and again， inch by
inch， for 13 days．
Wellman’s job was not easy either． He got himself up the rope through upper body strength
alone．In all， Wellman figured that he had done 5，000 pull-ups up the rope on the climb．
However，when the two men first met， they never talked about climbing．"He knew that was
how I got injured．"Wellman said．Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again
and they started training．
Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth． At one point，pieces of rock gave way，and
Corbett dropped down quickly．Wellman locked their rope in place，stopping the fall at 20
feet．His quick action probably saved his friend’s life．
"Your partner can save your life — you can save your partner’s life，"Wellman said as the
pair received congratulations from friends．"There are real close ties．"
64．Which of the following was a challenge for Corbett in climbing Half Dome?

Ireland has had a very difficult history．The problems started in the 16th century when
English rulers tried to conquer (征服) Ireland． For hundreds of years，the Irish people fought
against the English．Finally， in 1921，the British government was forced to give independence to
the south of Ireland．The result is that today there are two "Irelands"．Northern Ireland，in the north，
is part of the United Kingdom．The Republic of Ireland， in the south， is an independent country．
In the 1840s the main crop， potatoes， was affected by disease and about 750，000 people
died of hunger． This，and a shortage (短缺)of work， forced many people to leave Ireland and
live in the USA，the UK， Australia and Canada．As a result of these problems，the population
fell from 8．2 million in 1841 to 6．6 million in 1851．
For many years，the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers． Today， many
people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in
factories and offices． Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside，where things
move at a quieter and slower pace．
The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly．Oscar Wilde，a famous Irish writer，
once said that the Irish were "the greatest talkers since the Greeks"．Since independence，Ireland
has revived (复兴)its own culture of music，language， literature and singing．Different areas have
different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments．Other kinds of Irish music
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
use many different instruments such as the violin， whistles， etc．

B．How Ireland gained independence．
C．How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland．
D．How two "Irelands"came into being．

A．food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in population
B．people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside
C．it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker
D．different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments
70．The last paragraph is mainly about ．

George Prochnik would like the world to put a sock in it． He makes his case in a new book，
Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise． Here he explains himself(using his indoor voice)：
"We’ve become so accustomed to noise， there’s almost a deep prejudice against the idea that
silence might be beneficial．If you tell someone to be quiet， you sound like an old man．But it’s
never been more important to find continuing quiet．Silence focuses us，improves our health， and
is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction．
"We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down
a little． During a Japanese tea ceremony， the smallest sounds become a kind of art — the spoons
making a light ringing sound on a bowl， the edges of a kimono(和服) brushing against the floor．
"Deaf people are very attentive (专注的)in almost every aspect of life． If two deaf people
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
are walking together， using sign language， they constantly watch out for each other and protect
each other by paying steady attention to the other． They are connected yet also fully aware of
their surroundings． Even deaf teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them． If we
remove the powerful blasts(一阵阵)of noise， we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world
around us — of little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps， of bird songs and ice cracking (开裂
声)． It’s astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen．"
72．What does the phrase "to put a sock in it" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．to be quiet B．to be colorful
C．to be full of love D．to be attentive to someone
73．What does Prochnik say about us?
A．We are used to quietness．
B．We have to put up with noise．
C．We do not think silence to be beneficial．
D．We do not believe lasting peace to be available．
74．Which of the following is true according to Prochnik?
A．We need more sounds in our lives．
B．There is nothing to be learned from the deaf．
C．We are not aware how rich the world around us is．
D．There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony．
75．It can be inferred from the text that ．
A．we can benefit a lot from old people
B．it is a good idea to use sign language
C．there is no escape from the world of sound
D．it is possible to find how beautiful things sound

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
If we agree that the function of education is to prepare us for life，then there is very little time
to waste．So，while we can，we ought to concentrate on teaching children something really
useful．Here is what our schools should teach．
Politeness is a mark of civilization．The sooner children learn this，the better．In any case，
a lot can be accomplished by a smile and good manners．
Like it or not， our adult lives will be consumed by the struggle for money，but we don’t
make an effort to teach children how to manage it．So our schools have a duty to teach them this
ability from the beginning．
We’re likely to accept something we are told，but that’s not what educated people
do．Educated people are reasonable and they look at facts．If our schools teach nothing else， they
should at least teach critical(批判性的)thinking．
Children should learn to take care of their health．They should know that if they eat junk
food(垃圾食品)，they will become fat and unhealthy．They should be very clear about what
happens to their bodies when they drink or smoke．
All of us are part of society．We have rights and responsibilities．We ought to understand
what they are． We have to know a little bit of our history and geography，because we need to
have an environment in which to relate to the people around us．
How will we test students on these?We can’t．But that’s not a reason to avoid teaching what
is important．Our schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children："This
is life，this is what you are going to face，and this is how you deal with it．"

11．C 12．A 13．A 14．B 15．C 16．C 17．A 18．B 19．A 20．C
21．D【解析】考查动词辨析。句意：随着故事的发展，关于这个神秘人物的真实情况慢慢
地被揭开了。develop 表示"发展"，符合语意。
22．C【解析】考查代词。句意：令人惊奇的是，苏珊漂亮的头发垂到了膝盖以下，几乎成
为了她的外套。此处itself 指的是"头发本身"。
23．A【解析】考查交际用语。根据答语的后一句可知说话人仍然觉得自己的语言水平有待
提高，所以A 项当选，表示“不完全是”。
24．B【解析】考查副词。句意：想要优秀，你必须聪明、自信，更重要的是诚实。above all
表示"首先，最重要的是"。A 项表示"因此"；C 项表示"然而"；D 项表示"毕竟"，都不
符合语意。
25．B【解析】考查介词。句意：有时候，解决食品安全问题的答案并不太难寻求。answer to

26．C【解析】考查时态和语态。答话人认为商店购物将与家庭购物并存，但是永远不会被
取代。it 与replace 之间是被动关系，再结合本句的时态will exist 可知，此处应用一般
将来时的被动语态。
27．D【解析】考查主谓一致和时态。句意：这家工厂使用了65%的原材料，其余的节省下
来以作他用。后半句中的the rest of which 中的which 指的是raw materials，所以谓语动
词用复数，再结合前半句中的时态可判断D 项正确。
28．C【解析】考查复合句。句意：无论剩下什么东西，都可以放入冰箱中，在那儿可以保
存两三个星期。"where it will keep for two or three weeks"是定语从句，关系副词where
在从句中作地点状语。
29．A【解析】考查交际用语。说话人质疑的是如果答话人几天后厌烦了宠物狗怎么办，A
项表示"下一步怎么办"，符合语境。后三项分别表示"好吧""怎么会""那又怎样"，都不
符合语境。
30．D【解析】考查非谓语动词。此处所要表达的意思是让巧克力更容易掰成一小块一小块
的，表示的是尚未发生的目的性动作，所以用动词不定式形式。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
31．C【解析】考查副词。manage to do sth．表示"设法做成某事"，强调的是成功的结果，
由此可判断C 项正确。thankfully"(用于表示高兴或宽慰)幸亏"。
32．B【解析】考查时态。问话人质疑的是名单为什么在自己的书桌上，此处强调的是对现
在造成的影响或结果，所以用现在完成时。
33．D【解析】考查句子结构。句意：他的书写如此令人困惑，以至于难以辨认他在试图表
达什么。分析句子结构可知，定语从句he is trying to express 后缺少宾语，因此用what。
34．A【解析】考查动词短语辨析。句意：如果你偶然发现了缺陷，但是你仍然想买那辆自
行车的话，你可以让商店售货员减价。come across 表示"偶然发现"。后三项分别表示"
关心""寻找""集中(注意力)于"，都不符合语意。
35．B【解析】考查交际用语。根据答语中后一句的内容可知答话人不相信对方在星期二下
午就到了这里，故选B 项，此项的完整表达是"You got here Tuesday afternoon?"。
36．B【解析】此处与上一句中的worried 相呼应，表示作者没有理睬这些"担忧"，在2010
年7 月份到达了Auckland。
37．D【解析】上一句提到作者已经到达了Auckland，所以此处是到达后不久，作者意识到
了找一份工作的重要性。
38．C【解析】作者意识到需要找一份工作来支付生活开销，此处表示的显然是目的，所以
用for。
39．A【解析】此处提到作者花费了几个星期的时间上门找工作，由此可知作者决定"靠自
己"找一份工作。
40．D【解析】根据本句中的转折连词but 可知，虽然作者无比努力，但是几乎没有收到什
么回应。
41．C【解析】上一段中提到作者是在找工作，所以作者走进这栋楼的目的是询问"是否"有
工作机会。
42．D【解析】上一段最后一句提到作者几个星期以来一直在上门找工作，由此可知这栋楼
里的人建议作者不要再用那种"方式"继续找工作了。
43．C【解析】作者这次寻找工作仍然是毫无结果，于是准备"离开"。
44．D【解析】根据下文中的"Nearly ten minutes later"可知，正当作者准备离开时，一名男
子让作者在外面稍等"一会儿"。
45．A【解析】上一句提到一名男子让作者在外面稍等一下，所以此处是"返回"。
46．C【解析】作者长期以来一直在努力地找工作，可是屡屡碰壁，由此可知男子鼓励作者
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
要保持"积极乐观的"态度，不可灰心丧气。
47．B【解析】然后他主动提出带作者去Royal Oak"寻找"工作。C 项表示"呈现，雇用"，不
符合语境。
48．B【解析】男子如此热心地帮助自己，作者感到奇怪，但是对他心存"好"感。
49．C【解析】下一句提到男子给作者制作简历，由此可知作者在途中发现简历已经"用完"
了。
50．A【解析】男子见作者已经用完了简历，就"停"在了他生意伙伴的办公室里，帮助作者
制作简历。
51．B【解析】由上下文可知，此处表示男子帮助作者"又"制作了15 份简历。
52．D【解析】男子是在帮助作者求职，因此就衣着和说话方式方面给作者提出了一些"建
议"。
53．D【解析】有了男子的帮助，作者投递了简历，回到家后感觉非常"满意"。
54．A【解析】上一句提到作者投出了简历，由此可知第二天作者接到了一家商店打来的"
电话"，它给了作者一份工作。
55．C【解析】上文提到作者最终求职成功，所以作者感悟到当你需要它的时候，世界总会
"给"你。
56．D【解析】细节理解题。根据第一篇短文中的"Now， everyone seems to want to take a
drive…"可知，信息高速公路吸引了很多用户。
57．D【解析】细节理解题。根据第一篇短文后半部分中的"with his new broad-band connection"
可知，速度快的原因是使用了宽带连接。
58．B【解析】细节理解题。根据本篇短文倒数第二句中的内容可知，他现在正在研究大堡
礁。
59．A【解析】推理判断题。第二则短文介绍的是一位著名博士将就全球变暖问题发表演讲，
事后还要签名售书，由此可推知本文是一则关于演讲的海报。
60．C【解析】细节理解题。结合第二段第二句以及第三句的内容可知，风车曾经给偏远地
区的无线电提供电能。
61．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的内容可知19 世纪晚期风能的一种新用
途是用来"发电"。
62．A【解析】推理判断题。最后一段提到人们在20 世纪70 年代开始关心用煤炭和天然气
发电产生的污染问题，进而重新考虑风能，由此可推知风能更加洁净。另外，第一段第
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
三句中的内容也是线索提示。
63．D【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的内容可推测出作者接下来要讨论的
可能是利用风能发电的全球趋势。
64．B【解析】推理判断题。结合第三段对他们如何攀登的描述可推断Corbett 攀登过程中
的挑战是需要攀爬两次。
65．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段引号中的内容可推断他们第一次见面时不谈关于攀
岩的话题是因为Corbett 不想伤害Wellman。
66．C【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句中的内容可推断Wellman 有一段时间停止
了攀岩。
67．B【解析】主旨大意题。文章第一段开门见山地点明了话题中心，最后一段又重申主题，
所以本文是在讴歌人生中的珍贵友谊。
68．D【解析】段落大意题。本段的后半部分叙述的是最终结果，所以第一段作者意在阐述
两个"爱尔兰"是如何形成的。
69．A【解析】细节理解题。第二段提到在19 世纪40 年代，由于土豆被疾病感染，大约75
万人死于饥饿，由此可知这一时期的食物短缺导致了人口下降。本段最后一句话也是线
索提示。
70．B【解析】段落大意题。通读本段内容尤其是根据本段中间部分的"Since independence，
Ireland has revived(复兴) its own culture of…"可知本段主要阐述的是爱尔兰文化。其余选
项都不具有概括性。
71．C【解析】主旨大意题。文章回顾了爱尔兰艰辛的独立过程以及曾经的艰难岁月，接着
概述了爱尔兰如今的风貌，所以"爱尔兰今昔"作文章标题最合适。
72．A【解析】短语猜测题。第二段提到人们已经习惯了噪音，无视沉默的益处，再结合该
段中的"If you tell someone to be quiet，…"可推测他渴望一个"安静"的世界。
73．C【解析】细节理解题。第二段的第一句中提到甚至有一种偏见反对沉默或许有益的观
点，由此可知在他看来我们不认为沉默有益。
74．C【解析】推理判断题。最后一段倒数第二句提到，如果我们去除阵阵噪音，我们就开
始意识到周围的世界无比丰富，由此可知他认为我们没有意识到周围的世界是多么丰富
多彩。
75．D【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句"It’s astonishing how beautiful things sound
when you can really listen．"可推断D 项正确。

My Approach to Difficulties in Learning
As high school students， we run into one difficulty after another in the process of
learning． Everyone has their own way to deal with them． Here I would like to share mine．
When I am faced with a difficulty， I usually choose to refer to relevant learning materials or
Web pages． In this way， I can not only work it out but also improve my ability to overcome
problems all by myself．
However， when it is something beyond my competence， I turn to my classmates or
teachers for help． Sometimes I also ask my parents for advice． As a result， I have made steady
progress in my studies．

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to
myself． And 36 otherwise assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher， I always 37 to
sit at the back of the classroom．
All this 38 after I joined a sports team． It began when a teacher suggested I try
out for the basketball team． At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t have a
good sense of balance， nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team
and they would tease me． But for the teacher who kept insisting on my " 41 for it"，
I wouldn’t have decided to give it a try．
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first
started 43 the practice sessions，I didn’t even know the rules of the game，much 44
what I was doing．Sometimes I’d get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction — which
made me feel really stupid． 46 ， I wasn’t the only one "new" at the game， so I
decided to 47 on learning the game， do my best at each practice session， and not be
too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 48 "just yet"．
I practiced and practiced． Soon I knew the 49 and the "moves"． Being part of a
team was fun and motivating． Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over
my lack of confidence．With time，I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 —
friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player． I never had so much fun!
With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates． I
have gone from " 53 " in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to
myself， 54 raising my hand — even when I sometimes wasn’t 100 percent 55 I
had the right answer． Now I have more self-confidence in myself．

"I Went Skydiving at 84!"
As a young girl growing up in the 1930s， I always wanted to fly a plane， but back then it
was almost unheard of for a woman to do that． I got a taste of that dream in 2001，when my
husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday． But the experience turned
out to be very dull． Around that time， I told my husband that I wanted to skydive． So when our
retirement community(社区)announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic
was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have， I decided to write about my dream．
In the essay， I wrote about my desire to skydive， stating George Bush Sr． did it at age
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
80． Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health． A year went by and I heard
nothing． But then at a community party in late April 2009， they announced that I was one of the
winners． I just couldn’t believe it． Inspired by this， I decided to realize my dream， even
though some of my family members and my doctor were against it．
On June 11， 2009， nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where
I would land while I headed up in the airplane． My instructor， Jay， guided me through the
experience． The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in， but I wasn’t frightened — I was
really just looking forward to the experience． When we reached 13，000 feet， Jay instructed me
to throw myself out of the plane． When we first hit the air， the wind was so strong that I could
hardly breathe． For a second I thought， "What have I gotten myself into?" But then everything
got calmer． We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute(降落伞)，
then we just floated downward for about five minutes． Being up in the clouds and looking at the
view below was unlike anything I have ever felt — much better than the hot air balloon． I was
just enjoying it．
Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life． I hope other people will
look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old． If there’s
something you want to experience， look into it． If it’s something that is possible， make it
happen．
56．What happened to the author in 2001?
A．She flew an airplane．
B．She entered a competition．
C．She went on a hot air balloon ride．

Students and Technology in the Classroom I love my Blackberry - it's my little connection to
the larger world that can go anywhere with me． I also love my laptop computer，as it holds all of
my writing and thoughts．Despite this love of technology， I know that there are times when I
need to move away from these devices(设备) and truly communicate with others．
On occasion，I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education
managers．My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas．Because
I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the
classroom， I have a rule – no laptops，iPads，phones，etc．When students were told my rule in
advance of the class， some of them were not happy．
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past
with students misusing technology． There's a bit of truth to that． Some students assume that I
am anti-technology． There's no truth in that at all． I love technology and try to keep up with
it so I can relate to my students．
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are
very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex
ideas．Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence
on outside information for ideas． I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
and ideas． I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between
the course material and the class discussion．
I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect
student satisfaction with the environment that I create． Students realize that with deep
conversation and challenge， they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond
the classroom．
I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class，
but until I hear a really good reason for the change， I'm sticking to my plan． A few hours of
technology-free dialogue is just too． sweet to give up．
63．Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ．
A．the course material B．others' misuse of technology
C．discussion topics D．the author's class regulations
64．The underlined word "engage" in Para．4 probably means
A．explore B．accept C．change D．reject
65． According to the author， the use of technology in the classroom may ．
A．keep students from doing independent thinking
B．encourage students to have in depth conversations
C．help students to better understand complex themes
D．affect students' concentration on course evaluation
66． It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ．
A．is quite stubborn
B．will give up teaching history
C．will change his teaching plan soon
D．values technology-free dialogues in his class
D
As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries， a new
electrical generating (发电) and transmission (输送) system for the 21th century will leave a
lasting mark on the West， for better or worse． Much of the real significance of railroads and
highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery， but in the ways that they affect the
surrounding community． The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
down to move electricity around．
The 19th century saw land grants (政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the
transcontinental railroads， leaving public land in between privately owned land． In much of the
West， some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped， and in
both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management． With the
completion of the interstate highway system， many of the small towns， which sprang up as
railway stops and developed well， have lost their lifeblood and died．
Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint
in the West． This is not an argument against building them． We need alternative energy badly，
and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily
than we can now．
So trade-offs will have to be made． Some scenic spots will be sacrificed． Some species (物
种) will be forced to move，or will be carefully moved to special accommodations． Deals will be
struck to reduce the immediate effects．
The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter． The 21st century development of
the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and
money in the region． There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good． But it is
just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind， just like the
railroads and the highways．
The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the
West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines． So let’s
remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in
the West．
67．What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?
A．Small towns along the railways became abandoned．
B．Some railroad stops remained underused．
C．Land in the West was hard to manage．
D．Land grants went into private hands．
68．What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two
paragraphs?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．The transmission of power． B．The use of money and power．
C．The conservation of solar energy． D．The selection of an ideal place．
69．What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?
A．Cautious． B．Approving． C．Doubtful． D．Disapproving．
70．Which is the best title for the passage?
A．How the Railways Have Affected the West
B．How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West
C．How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced
D．How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled

Public Speaking and Critical Thinking
What is critical thinking? To a certain degree， it’s a matter of logic (逻辑) — of being able
to spot weaknesses in other people’s arguments and to avoid them in your own． It also includes
related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence．
In the broad sense， critical thinking is focused，organized thinking — the ability to see
clearly the relationships among ideas． 71 The greatest thinkers， scientists， and inventors
have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce
new ideas． That， too， is critical thinking．
72 As the class goes on， for example， you will probably spend a good deal of time
organizing your speeches． While this may seem like a purely mechanical (机械的) exercise， it
is closely connected with critical thinking． If the structure of your speech is loose and confused，
chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused． If， on the other hand， the
structure is clear， there is a good chance your thinking is too． Organizing a speech is not just a
matter of arranging the ideas you already have． 73
What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking． 74 As you work
on expressing your ideas in clear， accurate language， you will improve your ability to think
clearly and accurately． 75 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class， you will be
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations．
If you take full advantage of your speech class， you will be able to develop your skills as a
critical thinker in many circumstances． This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a
vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece．
A．Rather，it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves．
B．This may seem like a lot of time，but the rewards are well worth it．
C．It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech．
D．It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world，only reorganized ideas．
E．If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class，the answer is
quite a lot．
F．The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a
number of ways．
G．As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking，you will see how they
can be used in other forms of communication as well．

some others， to the clinic immediately． It turned out that her right leg was broken and she had to
stay in the hospital． The following day， we went to visit her with flower and fruit． Seeing her
lying in bed with her leg wrapped in bandages， we felt sorry for her and hoped that she would
recover soon． This Thursday she returned to the class on a wheelchair to give us lessons． We

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care． To water his flowers， he
used two buckets． One was a shiny and new bucket． The other was a very old and dilapidated
one， which had seen many years of service， but was now past its best．
Every morning， the gardener would fill up the two buckets． Then he would carry them
along the path， one on each side， to the flowerbeds． The new bucket was very proud of
itself． It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled(溢出)． The old bucket
felt very ashamed because of its holes： before it reached the flowerbeds， much water had leaked
along the path．
Sometimes the new bucket would say， "See how capable I am! How good it is that the
gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don’t know why he still bothers with
you． What a waste of space you are!"
And all that the old bucket could say was， "I know I’m not very useful， but I can only do
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
my best． I’m happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me， at least．"
One day， the gardener heard that kind of conversation． After watering the flowers as usual，
he said， "You both have done your work very well． Now I am going to carry you back． I want
you to look carefully along the path．"
Then the two buckets did so． All along the path， they noticed， on the side where the new
bucket was carried， there was just bare (光秃秃的) earth； on the other side where the old bucket
was carried， there was a joyous row of wild flowers， leading all the way to the garden．

Mapping Your World
Different forms of maps are appearing． They allow independent travelers to get local
knowledge of places they are visiting， from the official to the unusual． Meanwhile， hi-tech
developments are creating new ways for us to map the world． Here are two of our favorites：
Green Maps
Green Maps allows people to share with the world their knowledge of environmentally
friendly places and attractions in the local areas． Users add information with a set of icons(图标)，
making it easy to read any map， whatever the nationalities of those who produce it． At present
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
there are over five hundred map projects being developed in 54 countries． Green Maps’
advertised idea is "think global， map local"． It is a wonderful way of gaining all sorts of
information of a place， ranging from community gardens to good places of birdwatching．
Green Maps is not specifically intended for travelers． Not all of its maps are online， so it
may be necessary for some users to communicate with the producers through the Green Maps
website．
Map Mashups
Many people use online maps developed by Google， but not many know about the mashups
of them． Working in a similar way to Green Maps． Map Mashups allows people to add icons of
their own to existing maps to express a certain topic． The mashups is so called because it
combines all the knowledge you could ever need． It ranges from the extremely useful， such as
where all the World Heritage Sites are， to the most bizarre (古怪的)， such as where America’s
drunkest cities are． With the mashups added to the basic Google Maps， a multi-layered (多层
的) map can be created．
60．According to the passage， which of the following is a characteristic of Green Maps?
A．Aiming at environmental protection．
B．Introducing local attractions with icons．
C．Offering advice to independent travelers．
D．Collecting icons worldwide for local maps．
61．Which of the following icons is most probably NOT used in Green Maps?
62．"Map Mashups" is named with the word "mashups" because ．
A．it is produced by users all over the world
B．it gathers various kinds of information
C．it shares icons with Green Maps
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．it is a branch of Google Maps
63．What do Green Maps and Map Mashups have in common?
A．They are created by local people．
B．They are environmentally friendly．
C．Users can edit maps on the Internet．
D．Users need to communicate with producers．

Getting rid of dirt， in the opinion of most people， is a good thing． However， there is
nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt．
In the early 16th century， people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out
disease， as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and
let ills in． A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths． By 1538， the French king had
closed the bath houses in his kingdom． So did the king of England in 1546． Thus began a long
time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way． Henry IV， King of
France， was famously dirty． Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath， the king ordered
that， to avoid the attack of disease， the nobleman should not go out．
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived， dirt has no longer been regarded as a
nice neighbor ever since the 18th century． Scientifically speaking， cleaning away dirt is good to
health． Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease． Yet，
it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War
Ⅱ． Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea： clothes need to be whiter than white， cloths ever
softer， surfaces to shine． Has the hate for dirt， however， gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays． Many first-time parents nervously try to warn
their children off touching dirt， which might be responsible for the spread of disease． On the
contrary， Mary Ruebush， an American immunologist (免疫学家)， encourages children to play
in the dirt to build up a strong immune system． And the latter position is gaining some ground．
64．The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because ．
A．they lived healthily in a dirty environment
B．they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
C．they believed disease could be spread in public baths
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
65．Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?
A．Afraid． B．Curious． C．Approving． D．Uninterested．
66．How does the passage mainly develop?
A．By providing examples．
B．By making comparisons．
C．By following the order of time．
D．By following the order of importance．
67．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To stress the role of dirt．
B．To introduce the history of dirt．
C．To call attention to the danger of dirt．
D．To present the change of views on dirt．
D
William Butler Yeats， a most famous Irish writer， was born in Dublin on June 13，
1865． His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family． Later，
Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered "little of childhood but its pain"． In fact，
he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family — both his father and his brother were
painters． But he finally settled on literature， particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry．
Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements． He set himself the fresh
task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s． His early theatrical experiments，
however， were not received favorably at the beginning． He didn’t lose heart， and finally
enjoyed success in his poetical drama．
Compared with his dramatic works， Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice． The
subject matter includes love， nature， history， time and aging． Though Yeats generally relied
on very traditional forms， he brought modern sensibility to them． As his literary life progressed，
his poetry grew finer and richer， which led him to worldwide recognition．
He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923． Yet， he
continued writing almost to the end of his life． Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40， he would
probably now be valued as a minor poet， for there is no other example in literary history of a poet
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75． After Yeats’s death in 1939，
W．H．Auden wrote，among others，the following lines：
Earth， receive an honoured guest：
William Yeats is laid to rest．
Let the Irish vessel(船) lie．
Emptied of its poetry．
68．Which of the following can describe Yeats’s family?
A．It filled Yeats’s childhood with laughter．
B．It was shocked by Yeats’s choice．
C．It was a typically wealthy family．
D．It had an artistic atmosphere．
69．According to the passage，what do we know about Yeats’s life?
A．Yeats founded the first Irish theatre．
B．Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry．
C．Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s．
D．Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Nobel Prize．
70．What kind of feeling is expressed in W．H． Auden’s lines?
A．Envy． B．Sympathy． C．Emptiness． D．Admiration．
71．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Yeats’s literary achievements．
B．Yeats’s historical influence．
C．Yeats’s artistic ambition．
D．Yeats’s national honor．

Skeptics are a strange lot． Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human
activities to the environment， and they are tired of people who disagree with them． Those
people， say skeptics， spread nothing but bad news about the environment． The "eco-guilt"
brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as
people search for more comforting worldviews．
Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity． That
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
book， The Skeptical Environmentalist， declares that it measures the "real state of the world" as
fine． Of course， another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special
interests． Indeed， Mr． Lomborg’s views are similar to those of some industry-funded
organizations， which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues
like global warming．
So it was strange to see Mr．Lomborg’s book go largely unchallenged in the media though his
beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions． One national newspaper in Canada ran a
number of articles and reviews full of words of praise， even with the conclusion that "After
Lomborg， the environmental movement will begin to die down．"
Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged． But only a different
review appeared in Nature， a respected science magazine with specific readership． The review
remarked that Mr． Lomborg’s "preference for unexamined materials is incredible (不可信的)"．
A critical(批判的) eye is valuable，and the media should present information in such a way
that could allow people to make informed decisions． Unfortunately， that is often inaccessible as
blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests． People might become
half-blind before a world partially exhibited by the media． That’s a shame， because matters
concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly．
72．According to the passage， which of the following may be regarded as "skeptics"?
A．People who agree on the popularity of "eco-guilt"．
B．People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet．
C．People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities．
D．People who spread comforting news to protect our envir-onment．
73．Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg’s book?
A．Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests．
B．The book challenges views about the fine state of the world．
C．The author convinces people to seek comforting worldviews．
D．Industry-funded media present confusing information．
74．The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to ．
A．voice a different opinion
B．find fault with Lomborg’s book
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．challenge the authority of the media
D．point out the value of scientific views
75．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A．To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye．
B．To warn the public of the danger of half-blindness with reviews．
C．To blame the media’s lack of responsibility in presenting information．
D．To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media．

18．spring/Spring 19．20/twenty/Twenty 20．picnic/Picnic
21．D【解析】考查时态。第一句提到那首乐曲听起来非常熟悉，由此可知楼上有人正在弹
奏钢琴，所以用现在进行时。
22．A【解析】考查主语从句的引导词。句意：这个旧汽车站是否应该被一个现代化的旅馆
取代还在讨论之中。本句中的it 是形式主语，真正的主语是从句"whether the old bus
station should be replaced with a modern hotel or not"。whether 在句中引导主语从句。
23．B【解析】考查交际用语。答语的下一句提到机会如此好，不容错过，由此可知答话人
"毫无疑问"要参加这次演讲比赛。A 项意为"没问题"，指事情容易做到或乐于相助，不
符合语境。
24．D【解析】考查介词用法。句意：Shirley 是一个真正的图书爱好者，她经常从图书馆带
很多书回家阅读。from 表示"从"。

说自己想去，但是妈妈只是不想让自己在这么晚的时候出去。此处表示的是过去的意愿。
26．C【解析】考查冠词用法。句意：在交流中，微笑通常是一种友好而又开放的态度的强
烈表示。前一个空格处是泛指，故用不定冠词a；后一个空格处与friendly 是并列形容
词，都用来修饰attitude，故用零冠词。
27．D【解析】考查代词用法。说话人埋怨自己忘记了行李的外观，答话人提醒对方注意那
边的行李，所以用that，特指the luggage。luggage 是不可数名词，由此可排除A 项；B
项与over there 矛盾；C 项是特指上文已经提到的同一个东西，显然不正确。
28．B【解析】考查反意疑问句。句意：我告诉他们并非每个人都可以跑得和你一样快，不
是吗?在反意疑问句中，若陈述部分是一个主从复合句，附加疑问句一般要与主句一致。
本句含有一个宾语从句且主句为"I told them．．．"，故答案选B 项。
29．A【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：据政府官员说，将制作更多的电视节目来提高人们
的食品安全意识。to raise people’s concern over food safety 是不定式短语作目的状语。
30．C【解析】考查状语从句。句意：为了表示我们的尊敬，无论与谁握手，我们通常得摘
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
下手套。shake hands with sb．表示"与某人握手"，本句中的with 后缺少宾语，结合句
意选C 项，whoever 在句中引导让步状语从句。
31．B【解析】考查时态。句意：看Tom 脸上骄傲的神情，他似乎刚才被经理表扬了。根据
第一句中的内容可知叙述的是现在的情况，此处seem 表示"似乎；看起来"，是系动词，
不用于进行时，因此排除D 选B 项。
32．A【解析】考查强调句型。问话人询问对方是否看过《山楂树之恋》这部电影，答话人
回答说当然看过，这部电影是在自己的村庄拍摄的。本句是强调句，被强调的部分是地
点状语in our village。
33．C【解析】考查非谓语动词。Michael 把姚明的图片张贴在床边是为了提醒自己要实现
自己的梦想。remind sb． of sth．表示"提醒某人某事"，himself 与remind 之间是动宾
关系，故用动词的过去分词形式。
34．B【解析】考查宾语从句。句意：公众并不总是知道一项新的发明对人类生活有什么用
途。此处what 表示"什么"，引导宾语从句，what use 作介词of 的宾语。
35．D【解析】考查交际用语。对方询问是否有Mary 的电话号码，答话人抱歉地回答说自
己记不起来了。故选D 项。假如选择A 项，意味着答话人不知道自己是否有她的电话
号码，不合乎常理。

39．C【解析】作者大学毕业后，在一个理想的周末"邀请"爸爸一起去航行。其余选项都不

利。go 表示"(事情)进展"。
42．A【解析】当两人航行到湖的中央时，突然起了一阵"大"风。
43．D【解析】小船被狂风"猛烈地"吹动。C 项表示"几乎不"，不符合语境。
44．A【解析】在过去的任何"危险"中，作者的爸爸总是处于最佳状态。小船在湖中央处在
大风的猛烈袭击中，显然是处于危险的境地。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
45．C【解析】但是此时此刻，作者的爸爸"吓呆"了，不知如何是好。此处freeze 表示" 惊
呆；吓呆"。

救命"。

对"，都不符合语境。

" "溪流" "淋浴；阵雨"，均与语境不符。
50．D【解析】根据下文中的"We were thrown into the water ．．．"可知尽管作者冲向舵柄，"
但是"已经太迟了。

A 项"耗尽；顺利通过(考试等)"，B 项"不断涌向"，D 项"举起"，均不符合语境。
52．B【解析】上一句提到作者的爸爸在水中漫无目的地挣扎，下文讲到作者如何帮父亲摆
脱险境，由此可知作者在那一刻强烈地感觉到要"保护"他。
53．B【解析】作者"快速地"游到爸爸身边，帮他爬上了船壳。
54．C【解析】第四段提到作者的爸爸用颤抖的声音向作者求救，由此可知此时他为自己当

"。

羞愧。

the knowledge you could ever need．"可知，它之所以这样叫是因为它聚集了各种各样的

后，为了避免疾病的侵袭，于是命令那个人不许外出，由此可推知亨利四世非常害怕洗
澡。
66．C【解析】推理判断题。根据文章中依次出现的时间可知，本文主要是按照时间顺序来
组织的。
67．D【解析】写作目的题。文章第一段第二句点明了本文的中心，指出人们对待污垢并没
有固定的态度，再结合下文每段的第一句可知本文主要介绍的是人们对污垢的态度的改
变。
68．D【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段后半部分的"both his father and his brother were painters"
可推测出他的家庭有艺术氛围。
69．C【解析】推理判断题。叶芝出生在1865 年，再结合文章后半部分中的"．．． who produces
his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75．"可推知C 项正确。
70．D【解析】推理判断题。结合诗歌中的an honoured guest、对叶芝的比喻the Irish vessel
以及"Emptied of its poetry．"可推知W．H．Auden 表达的是对叶芝的"钦佩"。
71．A【解析】主旨大意题。文章开门见山地总括了叶芝的成就，下文则比较详细地展开回
顾，最后用诗坛名家W．H．Auden 对他的高度评价结束全文，所以本文的主题是叶芝
的文学成就。
72．B【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段第二句的内容可推断"怀疑论者"不相信我们的星球
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
所处的形势非常严峻。
73．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知他的书受欢迎的原因之一是一些大企业
试图维护自己的特殊利益。另外，最后一段中间部分的"．．． to defend some special
interests．"也是线索提示。
74．A【解析】作者意图题。上文叙述的是Lomborg 的书受到高度评价，前无古人，后无来
者，如此偏见却仅有一条反面评论，而且作者只是客观地叙述了这种现象，由此可推断
作者意在发表一种不同的评论。
75．D【解析】主旨大意题。文章从怀疑论者的质疑引出了本文的话题，接着剖析了一本书
无比流行的深层原因，最后一段作者则发表了自己的见解，由此可知作者的主要目的是
呼吁媒体全面地呈现信息。
76．away 后加from。【解析】away from 表示"离开"，其后跟宾语。
77．me→mine。【解析】此处表示的是"我的室友"当中的一个，所以用名词性物主代词。
78．live→living。【解析】get used to 表示"开始习惯于"，其中to 是介词，其后应接v．-ing
形式。
79．are→is。【解析】本句的主语是Katia，所以谓语动词用单数形式。
80．meet→met。【解析】根据本句中的became 可知，应用一般过去时。
81．hardly→hard。【解析】句中的is 是系动词，后跟形容词作表语。
82．family→families。【解析】根据本句中的our 可知，family 应用复数形式。
83．or→and。【解析】根据句意可知，此处表示的是并列关系，而不是选择关系。
84．去掉the。
【解析】根据本句的时态可知，此处是在现在谈论将来的时间，所以要去掉the。
85．who→whom。【解析】one of whom has been to China several times 是定语从句，关系代
词whom 在从句中作介词of 的宾语。

第三部分 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance． It requires you to
predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected． When
alcohol is consumed， it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药)， damaging
eyesight， judgement and co-ordination (协调)， slowing down reaction time and greatly
increasing the risk of accidents． Even below the drink driving limit， driving will be affected．
Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the
brain． Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming
drinks mixed with fruit juice． To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is
not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is：
•50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood； or
•22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath； or
•67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液)．
Drivers who cause traffic accidents， or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being
suspected of drink driving will be tested．
Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged． The driver declared guilty may
be fined a maximum of HK $25，000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for
10 driving-offence points； or temporarily banned from driving．
The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens(样本) for breath， blood or
urine tests without good excuse．
Drink driving is a criminal offence． Be a responsible driver， think before you drink． For
the safety of yourself and other road users， never drive after consuming alcohol．
56．The first paragraph is mainly about ．
A．the introduction of driving skills B．the damage of drinking to your body
C．the effect of drinking on driving D．the process of alcohol being absorbed
57．The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to " "．
A．alcohol B．absorption C．blood D．process
58．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving．
B．Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice．
C．Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body．
D．50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink driving limit．
59．A driver suspected of drink driving ．
A．should provide specimens for testing
B．will be forbidden to drive for 3 years
C．will be punished for 10 driving-offence points
D．should pay a maximum fine of HK$25，000

For five days， Edmonton’s Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
are able to share their talents ， and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy
themselves． Since its beginning in 1980， the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been
commemorating(纪念) the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that’s the traditional
togetherness (友爱) that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song．
This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the
festival． "People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation，" Riedel
said． "It’s really easy to relax， and it’s great seeing family and friends have fun together．" These
families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes． People who take pleasure in
Blues are there， so are people who love Bluegrass． This festival does its best to develop
everyone’s musical interests．
With so many years of experience， the festival has become a well-oiled machine， and does
whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible． There are free water stations
throughout the venue(举办地) for people to fill up their travel cups． When people buy food，
reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee， but that is returned when the plate is brought back．
The festival has completely sold out of tickets， and in record time． But with big names
such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan， it’s easy to see how that was going to happen． There is
no parking area during the festival， so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is
highly recommended． A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until
Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close．
The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday， Aug．4 with Van Morrison
playing the special donation fund (基金) concert， and will finish up on Sunday， Aug．8．
60．The Edmonton Folk Music Festival is held mainly to ．
A．gather people with different musical tastes
B．remind people of the real sense of folk music
C．exhibit the good voices of great talents in folk music
D．collect old stories of folk music
61．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Riedel has volunteered for the festival for at least 5 years．
B．It’s hard for people to appreciate Blues．
C．It costs people a little to fill up their cups from water stations．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．People have to pay $2 for a plate of food．
62．We can learn from the passage that ．
A．people can get tickets easily for the festival

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world， yet
when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life， she revealed (展现) herself
as she did nowhere else．
After the death of her second husband， Greek shipping magnate (巨头) Aristotle Onassis，
Jacqueline’s close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a
suggestion that she consider a career(职业) in publishing． After consideration， Jacqueline
accepted it． Perhaps she hoped to find there some ideas about how to live her own life． She
became not less but more interested in reading． For the last 20 years of her life， Jacqueline
worked as a publisher’s editor， first at Viking， then at Doubleday， pursuing (追求) a late-life
career longer than her two marriages combined． During her time in publishing， she was
responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books． Among the
first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes． She also succeeded in
persuading TV hosts Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell to transform their popular television
conversations into a book， The Power of Myth． The book went on to become an international
best-seller． She dealt， too， with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography (自传)，
Moonwalk．
Jacqueline may have been hired for her name and for her social relations， but she soon
proved her worth． Her choices， suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both
to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself． In the books she selected for publication， she
built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her
mind．Her books are the autobiography she never wrote．Her role as First Lady， in the end， was
overshadowed by her performance as an editor． However， few knew that she had achieved so
much．
68．We can learn from the passage that Jacqueline ．
A．became fond of reading after working as an editor
B．was in charge of publishing 100 books
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．promoted her books through social relations
D．gained a lot from her career as an editor
69．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that ．
A．Jacqueline ended up as an editor rather than as First Lady
B．Jacqueline’s life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editor
C．Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First Lady
D．Jacqueline’s role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor
70．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Jacqueline’s two marriages lasted more than 20 years．
B．Jacqueline’s own publishing firm was set up eventually．
C．Jacqueline’s views and beliefs were reflected in the books she edited．
D．Jacqueline’s achievements were widely known．
71．The passage is mainly ．
A．an introduction of Jacqueline’s life both as First Lady and as an editor
B．a brief description of Jacqueline’s lifelong experiences
C．a brief account of Jacqueline’s career as an editor in her last 20 years
D．an analysis of Jacqueline’s social relations in publishing

The internet will open up new vistas (前景)， create the global village — you can make new
friends all around the world． That， at least， is what it promised us． The difficulty is that it did
not take the human mind into account． The reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more
than a limited number of people． No matter how hard the internet tries to put you in
communication， its best efforts will be defeated by your mind．
The problem is twofold(双重的)． First， there is a limit on the number of people we can
hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with． That number is about 150 and is set by the
size of our brain． Second， the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you
invest (投入) in them． We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute what’s left
among as many others as we can． The problem is that if we invest little time in a person， our
engagement with that person will decline (减弱)until eventually it dies into "someone I once
knew"．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
This is not， of course， to say that the internet doesn’t serve a socially valuable
function． Of course it does． But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your
social circle to include the rest of the world， but that you can keep your relationships with your
existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world．
In one sense， that’s a good thing． But it also has a disadvantage． If you continue to invest
in your old friends even though you can no longer see them， then certainly you aren’t using your
time to make new friends where you now live． And I suspect that probably isn’t the best use of
your time． Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other， face
to face． The internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end， but it won’t stop that
happening eventually．
72．What is stressed in the first paragraph?
A．The present situation of the internet．
B．The difficulty in communication on the internet．
C．The socially valuable function of the internet．
D．The role of the human mind in the internet communication．
73．The underlined word "engagement" in the second paragraph probably means " "．
A．appointment B．connection C．interview D．agreement
74．According to the passage， the author holds the view that ．
A．the internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promised
B．the internet determines the quality of social relationships
C．the internet greatly increases the size of social circles
D．the internet communication is no less effective than the face-to-face talk
75．What is the author’s attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships?
A．He is uncertain about it． B．He is hopeful of it．
C．He approves of it． D．He doubts it．

2011 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(福建卷)
英语答案
1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．A 6．C 7．B 8．A 9．C 10．B
11．C 12．A 13．A 14．B 15．C 16．C 17．A 18．B 19．A 20．C
21．C【解析】考查代词。根据语意可知应该是选择这些不同的夏令营中的一种，所以用one，
相当于a summer camp。either 表示在两者中进行选择；each 表示"每一个"；it 指代前面
出现过的同一事物。
22．B【解析】考查介词短语。除了优质的服务外，这个饭店还提供了不同种类的传统的福
建菜。apart from 表"除……以外"，符合语意。far from"远离，远非"；instead of "代替，
而不是"；regardless of "不管，不顾"。
23．C【解析】考查非谓语动词。found 与Tsinghua University 之间存在着动宾关系，所以用
其过去分词形式，表示被动意义。此处用founded，相当于which was founded。
24．A【解析】考查定语从句。分析句子成分可知，an atmosphere 与修饰它的定语从句被for
her students 隔开，该从句缺少主语，所以用which。
25．B【解析】考查情态动词。依据in case he comes late for the meeting 可知，这里用must
表示"必须"，强调提醒时间安排的变化的必要性。
26．B【解析】考查名词。"公众缺乏环保的习惯"和"全球气候变化"二者之间是因果关系，
所以用cause。句意：公众缺乏环保的习惯被认为是全球气候变化的一个主要原因。
27．D【解析】考查非谓语动词。hold 与the iPad 2 之间是动宾关系，且有形容词comfortable，
所以用动词不定式的主动形式表达被动含义。
28．D【解析】考查动词辨析。句意：我更愿意保留我的判断，直到找到所有的证据。show"
展示"；express"表达"；pass judgement"发表批评意见"；reserve"保留"。
29．C【解析】考查时态及倒装。never 是否定副词，置于句首，句子要部分倒装；由语意
可知说话人以前从未喝过这样特别的饮料，应该用现在完成时，故选C 项。
30．A【解析】考查形容词。当今，孩子的创造力急剧提高，因为他们被鼓励去发展个人才
能。故选sharp"急剧的"。slight"轻微的"；natural"自然的"；modest"谦虚的，不太大的"。
31．A【解析】考查动词短语。David 出生在一个有三个兄弟的家庭，受到要重视分享的教
育。bring up"养育，教养"；turn down"关小，拒绝"；look after"照料"；hold back "阻碍"。
32．D【解析】考查时态。时间状语为Last month，且受到帮助应在表达感谢之前，故空处
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
表示的是过去的过去，所以用过去完成时态。
33．B【解析】考查定语从句。去掉It was 及that 后，April 29， 2011 不可以单独作时间状
语，所以不是强调句型。用when 引导定语从句修饰April 29，2011。
34．D【解析】考查虚拟语气。由but I was busy preparing for a job interview 可知，答话人由
于忙着准备求职面试，并未去听讲座，由此可知空处是对过去的虚拟，所以空处应用"
情态动词+have done"结构。
35．D【解析】考查交际用语。语意：——有时搞艺术的人很难相处。——你嫁(娶)了一个
这样的人，你应该知道。因此空白处填You should know"你应该知道"。
36．C【解析】这里是承接上文，讲的是Diana 在哪些方面做到了以最快的速度，最大的努
力做事情，所以此处用includes"包含，包括"。
37．A【解析】空处暗示了这里是Diana 定下的目标。
38．C【解析】Diana 不愿意改变现在做的事情，所以选change。
39．B【解析】Diana 决定在加拿大开一家店，所以选decided。demand"要求"；agree"同意"；
hesitate"犹豫"
40．B【解析】Diana 来到加拿大，一切对于她来说都很陌生，所以她要开店的话需要自己
好好准备，故用prepare。
41．A【解析】Diana 要将梦想变成现实就意味着她要去上学接受教育和获得资格证明。
42．D【解析】Diana 要通过上学接受相关的必备教育并获得资格证明，所以选necessary。
43．D【解析】Diana 以前的经历使她对自己的能力有信心。
44．C【解析】在陌生的地方，且语言不通，所以Diana 要了解在加拿大做事情的方方面面。
learn about"了解，学习"；put away"将……收起"；depend on"依靠，依赖"；look into"调
查"。
45．B【解析】这就像全部都要重新开始一样。
46．C【解析】她得到了她最需要的帮助，故用Luckily。
47．A【解析】Diana 通过继续接受教育找到了需要的东西，所以用through"通过"。
48．D【解析】Diana 通过学习课程来取得资格证明。
49．A【解析】尽管Diana 遇到了语言障碍，但是她在大学的时候常常领先于他人。
50．C【解析】参见上题解析。
51．B【解析】由文章第二段中的When arriving in Canada in 2008 可知，此处指她在到加拿
大之后的两年内，选arrival。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
52．A【解析】这是她一到加拿大就定下的目标，是她最初的目标，选original"最初的，原
来的"。
53．A【解析】Diana 通过自己的努力，在两年内实现了自己的梦想，她正处在通往成功之
路的快速通道上，所以选A。
54．D【解析】owe．．．to．．．表示"将……归因于……"。她将自己的成就归功于她设定的目
标、接受的大学教育，尤其是自己的努力。
55．B【解析】Diana 成功的原因除了她设定的目标和接受的大学教育外，她自己的努力尤
其重要。above all"最重要的是，尤其是"。
56．C【解析】段落大意题。本文第一段主要介绍的是饮酒后，酒精会进入我们的血液，影
响我们的视力、判断力和协调能力，减缓我们的反应速度，增加我们出事故的风险，所
以选C，饮酒对驾车的影响。
57．D【解析】代词指代题。画线词所在句表示将酒精从血液中清除是一个缓慢的过程，接
着说的是采取如洗澡、喝茶或者咖啡的途径来加速这一过程是不可能的，所以it 在这
里指代的是将酒精排出体外的过程，选process。
58．B【解析】正误判断题。依据文章第二段第二句话可知，空腹喝酒及掺着果汁喝酒会提
高吸收率，所以B 项正确。
59．A【解析】细节理解题。依据文章第四段和第六段可知，被怀疑酒驾的司机需要接受检
测，提供被检测的样本，所以选A。
60．B【解析】细节理解题。依据文章第一段第二句话可知，该音乐节纪念民间音乐的真实

61．A【解析】正误判断题。依据文章第二段第一句话可知，Riedel 之前自愿参加该音乐节
至少有5 年，A 项正确。
62．B【解析】推理判断题。依据文章第三段及第四段的叙述可知，该音乐节组织得很好，
主办方考虑得很周详，所以B 项正确。由第四段第一句可知票很快就卖完了，故买票
并不容易，A 项不正确；由第四段第三句可知C 项错误；由第四段最后一句可知D 项
错误。
63．B【解析】主旨大意题。文章介绍的是一次适合所有音乐爱好者的民间音乐节，故B 项
为本文的最佳标题。
64．A【解析】推理判断题。依据Book 1 简介中的最后一句可知，她在友谊及同情被拿来
做试验的动物之间进退两难，很痛苦。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
65．A【解析】正误判断题。依据Book 1 简介中的the animals being experimented on 及Book
5 介绍中的see dinosaurs up close 可知这两本书都提及了动物，故A 正确。
66．C【解析】推理判断题。依据Book 5 的描述可知，创造出来的时间机器是为了看到恐
龙，所以这里提及的两个大朋友应是两只恐龙，故选C。
67．C【解析】细节理解题。由Book 3 介绍中的最后一句话可知答案为C。
68．D【解析】推理判断题。依据文章第二段前四句话可知A 项错误；依据第二段第六句话

A 错误；由文章第二段第五句和第三段第一句可知，她是被雇用，而非自己当老板，B

第四句话，可知C 正确。
71．C【解析】主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了Jacqueline 在她人生的最后20 年中做编辑，
并取得了辉煌成就，故选C。
72．D【解析】推理判断题。文章第一段说虽然因特网有利于交朋友，但人的大脑关注的人
的数量毕竟有限，所以因特网的"努力"会被人的大脑击败。显然强调的是人脑在网络交
流中的作用。
73．B【解析】猜测词义题。本文第二段讲到我们将大多数时间花在了与很少的人的交往中，
而将很少的时间分给了很多人，这就会导致对某一个人投入的时间少，跟他的联系就会
减弱，所以engagement 应该是"联系"之意。
74．A【解析】推理判断题。依据文章倒数第二段可知，作者认为因特网达不到第一段第一
句话提及的目标，所以选 A。
75．D【解析】推理判断题。依据文章最后一段尤其是最后两句话可知，有意义的人际关系
要能够面对面地交流，因特网无法阻止人际关系的淡化，所以作者对因特网会加强人与
人之间的关系持怀疑态度。
第四部分 写作

82．acing 83．closely 84．others 85．conclusion

Great Changes
I am deeply impressed by the great changes that have taken place in the school over the past
three years．
On May 12，2008， a severe earthquake destroyed almost everything in the school， leaving
badly-damaged buildings． It is now， however， taking on a new look． Tall buildings have been
put up， including classroom and laboratory buildings， and a library． There is also a newly-built
standard playground． In the new environment， teachers and students are living happily and
working hard． It is really amazing that the once-ruined place has now been turned into a beautiful
school， full of life．
Obviously， without the help of the whole society， there would be no new school today． It
is love and concern that have brought about the great changes． Many hands make light
work． We can work wonders if we unite as a family， caring for each other and helping those in
need． Union is strength．

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出可以填入空白处
的最佳选项。
It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes．The 1
is based on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力
的) growth by 2 situations that are designed for the 3 children．
There can be little doubt that 4 classes can help the gifted children to graduate
earlier and take their place in life sooner． However， to take these 5 out of the
regular classes may create serious problems．
I observed a number of 6 children who were taken out of a special class and
placed in a 7 class． In the special class， they showed little ability to use their own judgment，
relying 8 on their teachers’ directions． In the regular class， having no worry
about keeping up， they began to reflect 9 on many problems， some of which
were not on the school program．
Many are concerned that gifted children become 10 and lose interest in
learning． However， this 11 is more often from parents and teachers than from
students， and some of these 12 simply conclude that special classes should be set up
for those who are 13 ． Some top students do feel bored in class， but why they
14 so goes far beyond the work they have in school． Studies have shown that to be bored is
to be anxious． The gifted child who is bored is an 15 child．

Ⅱ．阅读(共两节，满分50 分)
第一节 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
In the animal kingdom， weakness can bring about aggression in other animals． This
sometimes happens with humans also． But I have found that my weakness brings out the
kindness in people． I see it every day when people hold doors for me， pour cream into my
coffee， or help me to put on my coat． And I have discovered that it makes them happy．
From my wheelchair experience， I see the best in people， but sometimes I feel sad because
those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily． They don’t get to see this soft side
of others． Often， we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness， which includes
a lot of pretending． But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people
to show the kindness that’s in them．
Last month， when I was driving home on a busy highway， I began to feel unwell and drove
more slowly than usual． People behind me began to get impatient and angry， with some
speeding up alongside me， horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me． At that moment， I
decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving． I put on the car
flashlights and drove on at a really low speed．
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights， I was saying to the other drivers， "I have a problem here． I
am weak and doing the best I can．" And everyone understood． Several times， I saw drivers who
wanted to pass． They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic． But
instead of getting impatient and angry， they waited， knowing the driver in front of them was in
some way weak．
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that
way． But those are few and far between． More often， it would be better if we don’t pretend we
feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we’re scared．
26．The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ．
A．they offer their help
B．they receive others’ help
C．they feel others’ kindness
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．they show their weakness
27．The author feels sad sometimes because ．
A．he has a soft heart
B．he relies much on others
C．some people pretend to be kind
D．some people fail to see the kindness in others
28．What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?
A．They speeded up to pass．
B．They waited with patience．
C．They tried their best to help．
D．They put on their flashlights too．
29．In this passage， the author advises us to ．
A．handle problems by ourselves
B．accept help from others
C．admit our weakness
D．show our bravery
30．Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A．A Wheelchair Experience
B．Weakness and Kindness
C．Weakness and Strength
D．A Driving Experience

Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about
adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight． A recent research has
found a new recipe for success． According to the study， if the cat is adopted before the dog，
and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats， a year for dogs)， it is
highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly． Two-thirds of the homes
interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog．
However， it wasn’t all sweetness and light． There was a reported coldness between the cat
and dog in 25% of the homes， while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
homes． One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite． For
example， when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression， while a dog doing the same
signals submission．
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully， researchers observed a surprising
behaviour． They are learning how to talk each other’s language． It is a surprise that cats can
learn how to talk ‘Dog’， and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’．
What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their
intelligence． They can learn to read each other’s body signals， suggesting that the two may have
more in common than was previously suspected． Once familiar with each other’s presence and
body language， cats and dogs can play together， greet each other nose to nose， and enjoy
sleeping together on the sofa． They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases
groom (梳理) each other．
The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets ─ to people who don’t
get along， including neighbors， colleagues at work， and even world superpowers． If cats and
dogs can learn to get along， surely people have a good chance．
31．The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ．
A．early B．sweetly C．quickly D．smoothly
32．Some cats and dogs may fight when ．
A．they are cold to each other
B．they look away from each other
C．they misunderstand each other’s signals
D．they are introduced at an early age
33．What is found surprising about cats and dogs?
A．They eat and sleep together．
B．They observe each other’s behaviors．
C．They learn to speak each other’s language．
D．They know something from each other’s voices．
34．It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ．
A．have common interests
B．are less different than was thought
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．have a common body language
D．are less intelligent than was expected
35．What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?
A．We should learn to live in harmony．
B．We should know more about animals．
C．We should live in peace with animals．
D．We should learn more body languages．

A year after graduation， I was offered a position teaching a writing class． Teaching was a
profession I had never seriously considered， though several of my stories had been published． I
accepted the job without hesitation， as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of
Mr． Davis． My father went by the same name， and I liked to imagine people getting the two
of us confused． "Wait a minute，" someone might say， "are you talking about Mr． Davis the
retired man， or Mr． Davis the respectable scholar?"
The position was offered at the last minute， and I was given two weeks to prepare， a period
I spent searching for a briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror， repeating
the words， "Hello， class， I’m Mr． Davis．" Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive
voice． Sometimes I would sound experienced． But when the day eventually came， my nerves
kicked in and the true Mr． Davis was there． I sounded not like a thoughtful professor， but
rather a 12-year-old boy．
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves． I had cut
them myself out of orange construction paper． I saw nine students along a long table． I handed
out the cards， and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets
as I required．
"All right then，" I said． "Okay， here we go．" Then I opened my briefcase and realized
that I had never thought beyond this moment． I had been thinking that the students would be the
first to talk， offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day． I had imagined that I
would sit on the edge of the desk， overlooking a forest of raised hands． Every student would
shout to be heard， and I would knock on something in order to silence them． I would yell，
"Calm down， you’ll all get your turn． One at a time， one at a time!"
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A terrible silence ruled the room， and seeing no other opinions， I instructed the students to
pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment．

In a world with limited land， water and other natural resources (资源)， the harm from the
traditional business model is on the rise． Actually， the past decade has seen more and more
forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm． People now realize that this
unhealthy situation must be changed， and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
的) ways． That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products． In other
words， we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources．
Today， sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries． According to a recent
study， the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next
decade． China， for example， has set its mind on leading that market， hoping to seize chances
in the new round of the global energy revolution． It is now trying hard to make full use of wind
and solar energy， and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed
trains． In addition， we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable
products such as palm oil (棕榈油)， which is produced without cutting down valuable
rainforest． In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%．
Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets． First， they can set high
targets for reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy． Besides，
stronger management of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the
development． Finally， governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the
wrong direction， and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the
traditional model to a sustainable one．
The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population
within the limits of this single planet． That is no small task， but it offers abundant new chances
for sustainable product industries．
41．The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ．
A．it makes the world warmer
B．it consumes natural resources
C．it brings severe damage to forests
D．it makes growth hard to continue
42．What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A．China lacks wind and solar energy．
B．China is the leader of the low-carbon market．
C．High-speed trains are a low-carbon development．
D．Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests．
43．To fully develop the low-carbon markets， governments can ．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．cut public expenses B．forbid carbon emissions
C．develop public resources D．encourage energy conservation
44．We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to ．
A．develop sustainable products
B．explore new natural resources
C．make full use of natural resources
D．deal with the major challenge
45．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce a new business model．
B．To compare two business models．
C．To predict a change of the global market．
D．To advocate sustainable development．

48．Perhaps surprisingly， it works reasonably well until the jokes get in the way， testifying to
how durable fantasy clichés are．Yet， considering the talent involved on both sides of the
camera， audiences may be expecting more． Even though it emerges from an uncrowded
genre in which the competition is sparse， Your Highness is forgettable and it likely won’t
take long before it is forgotten．
49．The film begins with the heroine at age 13， already a champion surfer who has been winning
trophies since she was 9． On an idyllic Hawaii day， she is practicing for her next
competition when a shark strikes， biting off her left arm． She makes a quick physical
recovery and is back on her surfboard after several weeks， but her spiritual recovery is more
complicated as she struggles to believe she can — and should — keep surfing． She goes out
there and shows the world she can be a beacon for human soul．
50．The Ghost Face Killer has chosen this year to emerge from the winter long sleep， and his
targets appear to be Sidney and those few remaining family members． Scream 4 offers little
more than a group of familiar characters wandering around a horror movie setting and
uttering self-referential one-liners as the body count mounts． The story is thin and belabored

2011 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(广东卷)
英语答案
1．C【解析】根据文章第一句话中的argued 可知，这是一个争论，用argument。
2．C【解析】通读全文内容可知，本文主要讲述的是有关聪明的孩子在不同的学习环境
(learning situations)下学习效果不同的问题，因此C 项正确。
3．D【解析】average 是指"一般的，普通的"，符合语境。将聪明的孩子放在为普通孩子创
造的学习环境中，会阻碍他们的智力发展。
4．B【解析】根据文章第一段第一句的in special classes 可知，这里选择special 符合语境。
5．A【解析】空处指上文提到的gifted children。将这些孩子从普通的班级里挑出来可能会
产生一些很严重的问题。
6．A【解析】intelligent 意思是"聪明的，悟性强的"；competent 意思是"能干的"；ordinary
意思是"普通的"；independent 意思是"独立的"。根据上文提到的将聪明的孩子挑到特殊
的班级里可知，这里是讲观察从特殊班级挑出来放到普通班级中的聪明的孩子。故A
项符合语境。
7．B【解析】上下文有多次提示，即将regular 和special 相对比。
8．D【解析】rely heavily on sb．/sth．意思是"过于依赖……"。在特殊的班级里，聪明的孩
子不能很好地表现出自己的判断能力，过于依赖老师的指导。

自觉能动性，开始主动思考很多问题。
10．B【解析】根据后面的lose interest in learning 以及下文中的Some top students do feel bored
可知，B 项正确。很多人担心聪明的孩子会感到枯燥无味、对学习失去兴趣。
11．A【解析】根据前面一句话中的concerned 可知，concern 符合语境。这种担心一般都是
来自于家长和老师。
12．B【解析】adults 代指这句话前半句中的parents and teachers。
13．A【解析】talented 意思是"有才能的，天才的"，符合语境。and 前后的内容形成对比，

14．D【解析】这句话前面半句feel bored 是对本题的直接提示。
15．C【解析】根据前一句话可知，学生感到课堂枯燥无味，其实是由焦虑造成的。
16．later【解析】later 在此表示"随后"。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
17．until/till【解析】until 表示"直到"，即朋友们陪着我一直等到车到站。
18．sitting/sit【解析】分析句子结构可知，这里应该用sit 的现在分词sitting 作宾语补足语。
19．was pretending【解析】这是描述过去的事情，再根据后面的giving 可知，应填was
pretending。
20．mentally【解析】mentally 是mental 的副词形式，用来修饰形容词disabled。
21．whom【解析】whom 引导定语从句，修饰先行词other people。
22．they【解析】根据上下文可知，几分钟之后，坐在那个精神病患者后面的那些乘客走开
了，所以应填they。
23．on【解析】leave sb． on one’s own 意思是"让某人单独留下"。
24．an【解析】conversation 是可数名词，其前的形容词amazing 是以元音音素开头的，因
此这里要用不定冠词an。
25．both【解析】根据文章内容可知，这里填both 符合语境。这让我们两个人都很快乐。
26．A【解析】细节理解题。由第一段最后两句话可知，作者经常得到别人的帮助，而他同
时也发现，当别人给予自己帮助的时候，其实他们自己也感到很高兴。由此可知，A 项
正确。
27．D【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话的后一分句可知，作者有时候感到难过的
是，有些完全独立的人，反而不像自己这个坐在轮椅上的人那样可以感受到别人的善意。
由此可知，D 项正确。
28．B【解析】细节理解题。由第四、五段内容可知，当作者将车上的闪光信号灯打开时，
后面那些原本很不耐烦的司机便都意识到他遇到问题了，便都不再急躁，而是耐心地等
待。即B 项正确。
29．C【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第三段至第五段作者的亲身经历，再结合文章最后一
句话可知，作者想要告诉我们的是：生活中，有时我们需要表现得坚强，但是更多的时
候我们却很有必要将自己脆弱的一面告诉别人，因为只有这样人们才可以帮助我们。因
此C 项正确。
30．B【解析】标题判断题。通读全文可知，作者通过一次亲身经历告诉我们，有时候我们
需要让别人了解我们需要帮助，这样人们便会表现出他们善意的一面。由此可知，B 项
作标题最贴切。
31．D【解析】猜测词义题。根据上下文内容可知，第一段倒数第二句话的大意是：当猫比
狗先被领养，而且是在猫小于六个月、狗小于一岁的情况下，它们便可以友好相处。由
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
此可知，smoothly"(进展)顺利地"符合题意。
32．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句话可知，有时候猫和狗会打架，其中一
个原因是它们的一些肢体语言是不同的甚至是相反的。因此C 项正确。
33．C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容可知，令人惊奇的是：在同一个家庭中生
活的猫和狗可以"相互学习对方的语言"。因此C 项正确。
34．B【解析】由第四段第二句的后半句话可知，研究发现，狗和猫之间的共同点可能要比
我们想象得要多。
35．A【解析】文章最后一段指出：猫和狗尚且可以学会和平相处，那么人类更应该有和平
相处的机会。由此可知A 项正确，即人类需要从猫和狗和平相处的现象中学习和睦相
处。
36．A【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，做教师其实不是作者想要的工作，他之
所以接受是因为这样他就可以打上领带，并被称为Davis 先生，人们会将他与他的父亲
的称谓Mr． Davis 相混淆。再结合第一段最后一句话中的respectable scholar(值得尊敬
的学者)可知，A 项符合题意，即他想要找到受人尊重的感觉。
37．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话可知，当他第一次进课堂的时候，感到
很紧张，觉得自己不像一个有思想的教师，更像一个12 岁的小男孩。由此可知，C 项
正确。
38．D【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话可知，作者首先让学生将名字写在他发
的卡片上，然后挂在胸前的口袋上。由此可知，D 项正确。
39．B【解析】根据文章倒数第二段可知，作者原以为学生们会很热烈地讨论，他甚至想好
了要大声地维持班级纪律，而最后一段第一句话告诉我们，事实上，学生们却出乎意料
地沉默，没有人发表自己的观点。由此可知，B 项正确。
40．A【解析】推理判断题。由文章最后两段可知，学生们的表现与作者想象的完全相反，
作者对此感到失望，因此他选择了"失望"这个话题让学生们进行写作。
41．B【解析】细节理解题。根据常理可知，B 项不是传统经济模式的危害，因为无论哪一
种模式都是要消耗自然资源的。其他几项在第一段中都可以找到。因此，正确答案是B
项。
42．C【解析】推理判断题。由第二段内容可知，该段主要讲述了中国在低碳生活方面作出
的一些努力，如大力开发风能和太阳能等洁净能源、推行电动汽车、高速火车等。由此
可以推知，高速火车应该属于低碳型的交通工具。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
43．D【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段介绍的第一条措施中的"targets for saving and
reusing energy"可知，节约能源是充分发展低碳能源市场的重要措施之一
44．A【解析】细节理解题。根据全文最后一句话可以直接得到答案——That is no small task，
but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries。
45．D【解析】写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文首先介绍了传统的发展模式对自然资源和
自然环境的破坏，然后重点阐述了可持续性发展的必要性和政府可以采取的举措等内容。

A
Honesty， my mum always used to tell me， is the best policy． Of course， this didn’t
include her when she told me that if I didn’t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out
and wouldn’t give me any presents．
But when it comes to medicine， I had assumed it was important to always be honest with
my patients． After all， the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust， and therefore honesty
is essential． Or so I thought．
I had just started working in geriatrics (老年病科)． Mr． McMahon was brought in when
his belly was found very swollen． I took a medical history from his daughter who’d accompanied
him in the ambulance． She’d been his main carer for years． I stood looking at him as she gave a
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
detailed history． "Has he lost any weight recently?" I asked． "Well， it’s funny you should
mention that， but yes，" she said slowly． There was silence for a few moments． "Why? What
are you worried about?" she asked． I hesitated． She was obviously very involved in his care and
it was only fair that I told her the truth． "Well， we need to prove it’s not cancer，" I said and
talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order．
Half an hour later， a nurse called me： "Mr． McMahon’s daughter broke down — she said
you told her he had cancer．" My heart sank． By the time I arrived at the ward， my consultant
was already there， explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means
confirmed that he had cancer． I stood silently at the end of the bed． My consultant was
obviously angry with me and as we left Mr． McMahon， she turned to me． "Why on earth did
you do that?" she asked in disbelief． I looked at her and bit my lip． "She asked me what I was
worried about and I told her，" I said， hanging my head． "And give her more to worry about?"
replied my consultant． "You don’t say the word ‘cancer’ until it’s confirmed． Even if you
suspect it， think very carefully before you tell people．"
As it turned out， it wasn’t cancer． But I did learn that when someone is stressed and
worried about their loved one they’re sometimes selective in what they hear — and as a doctor it’s
important to be mindful of this． In being truthful， I’d made the situation worse．
51．The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author ．
A．misunderstood the doctor-patient relationship
B．was anxious to receive Christmas gifts
C．regarded honesty as the best policy
D．had an unhealthy eating habit
52．The author’s consultant was angry with him because ．
A．he told the daughter what he suspected
B．he delayed running the necessary tests
C．he failed to confirm the patient’s disease
D．he forgot what the consultant had advised
53．The author hung his head (the underlined part in Para． 4) because he was feeling ．
A．guilty B．hurt C．disappointed D．helpless
54．What lesson has the author learnt from his experience?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．Learning from parents is necessary．
B．Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous．
C．Telling the truth may not always be the best solution．
D．Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy．
B
Howling is a behaviour commonly observed among a wolf pack． As pack animals， wolves
work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each
other． There are different explanations of a wolf’s howl and it appears that there may be more to
discover．
One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together． It’s almost as if howling together
helps the pack stay together． Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement
with each other when singing a song together． But this theory may be wrong， explains Fred
H． Harrington， a professor who studies wolf behaviour．
Indeed， there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a
chorus， and the next， quarreling among each other． It appears that usually the lowest-ranking
members of the pack may actually be "punished" for joining in the chorus at times． So is howling
a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? — Why
do wolves howl for sure?
What is clear， however， is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each
other． Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at
times． When this happens， howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering．
Howling， interestingly， is a contagious behaviour． When one wolf starts to howl， very
likely others will follow． This is often seen to occur in the morning， as if wolves were doing
some sort of "roll call" where wolves all howl together to report their presence．
55．What is the possible similarity between wolves’ howling together and humans’ singing in

In today’s throw-away society， dealing with the city’s growing mountain of waste is an
increasing challenge for the city council (市议会)．
Recently， Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of (处理) about 250，000
million tons of waste a year． Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner —
largely through encouraging recycling — its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not
have the ability to deal with it．
The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy， regulating how such mountains of waste
are to be disposed of． The five councils (Edinburgh， East Lothian， West Lothian， Midlothian
and Borders) face fines around ￡18 million a year from 2013 if they don’t increase recycling
levels and rely less on landfill． With this in mind， the councils got together with the idea of
building a large incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂) to burn half of the waste produced in their
districts． But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste
policy which required that no more than 25% of the city’s waste should be disposed of in this way
by 2025．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
After the plan was abandoned， a private company which already transported millions of tons
of the city’s waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar， offered an alternative solution when it
suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello．
Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015， it seemed necessary for the members of the
Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion． But soon they turned it down — after 700 local
objections reached them — because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud
noise through heavily populated areas．
That still leaves the council with a problem． By 2013， only 50% of 1995 levels of waste
will be allowed to be sent to landfill． Even if recycling targets are met， there will still be a large
amount of rubbish to be burnt up． Due to this， Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now
decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out．
59．The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is ．
A．recycling B．restoring C．burying D．burning
60．The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to ．
A．reduce the cost of burying waste
B．meet the EU requirements
C．speed up waste recycling
D．replace landfill sites
61．The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near
Portobello because ．
A．it came from a private company
B．the council was not interested in it
C．it was not supported by EU
D．the local people were against it
62．What is the final decision of Edinburgh and Midlothian councils?
A．To open a new landfill nearby．
B．To close the Powderhall landfill in 2015．
C．To set up a plant for burning waste．
D．To persuade people to reduce their waste．

Feeling blue about the world? "Cheer up，" says science writer Matt Ridley． "The world has
never been a better place to live in， and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for
nature．"
Ridley calls himself a rational optimist — rational， because he’s carefully weighed the
evidence； optimistic， because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and
good． And this is what he’s set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book，
The Rational Optimist． He views mankind as a grand enterprise that， on the whole， has done
little but progress for 100，000 years． He backs his findings with hard facts gathered through
years of research．
Here’s how he explains his views．
1) Shopping fuels invention
It is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London
alone． Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty， our own generation has
access to more nutritious food， more convenient transport， bigger houses， better cars， and，
of course， more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us． This will continue as long as
we use these things to make other things． The more we specialize and exchange， the better off
we’ll be．
2) Brilliant advances
One reason we are richer， healthier， taller， cleverer， longer-lived and freer than ever
before is that the four most basic human needs — food， clothing， fuel and shelter — have
grown a lot cheaper． Take one example． In 1800 a candle providing one hour’s light cost six
hours’ work． In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes’ work to pay for． In
1950 it was eight seconds． Today it’s half second．
3) Let’s not kill ourselves for climate change
Mitigating (减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate
change itself． A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village， where the use of fossil-fuel (化
石燃料) electricity is forbidden by well-meaning members of green political movements trying to
save the world， is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate
change． If climate change proves to be mild， but cutting carbon causes real pain， we may well
find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet (止血带) around our necks．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
63．What is the theme of Ridley’s most recent book?
A．Weakness of human nature．
B．Concern about climate change．
C．Importance of practical thinking．
D．Optimism about human progress．
64．How does Ridley look at shopping?
A．It encourages the creation of things．
B．It results in shortage of goods．
C．It demands more fossil fuels．
D．It causes a poverty problem．
65．The candle and lamp example is used to show that ．
A．oil lamps give off more light than candles
B．shortening working time brings about a happier life
C．advanced technology helps to produce better candles
D．increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods
66．What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A．Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost．
B．Overreaction to climate change may be dangerous．
C．People’s health is closely related to climate change．
D．Careless medical treatment may cause great pain．

Which are you more likely to have with you at any given moment — your cellphone or your
wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of
your smart phone over an electronic scanner．
In January， Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee
in 6，800 of its stores． This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U．S．， but we’re likely to
see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication (NFC) gets
into America’s consumer electronics． Last December， some new smart phones which contain an
NFC chip were introduced to the public．
Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe， NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
few inches above a payment terminal — a contact-free system built for speed and
convenience． But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U．S．， a few problems need to be
worked out， like who will get to collect the profitable transaction (交易) fees． Although some
credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled
credit cards， cellphone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale (POS)
market． Three big cellphone service providers have formed a joint venture (合资企业) that will
go into operation over the next 15 months． Its goal is "to lead the U．S． payments industry from
cards to mobile phones"．
The other big NFC issue， apart from how payments will be processed， is security． For
instance， what’s to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? "We’re still not at the point
where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone，
" says Jimmy Shah， a mobile-security researcher． "Users may also be able to set transaction
limits， perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases．"
Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart
phone， it can be located on a map and remotely disabled． Plus， your phone can be password
protected． Your wallet isn’t．
67．What is predicted to happen in the U．S．?
A．The expansion of cellphone companies．
B．The boom of pay-by-phone business．
C．The disappearance of credit cards．
D．The increase of Starbucks sales．
68．The NFC technology can be used to ．
A．ensure the safety of shoppers
B．collect transaction fees easily
C．make purchase faster and simpler
D．improve the quality of cellphones
69．Three cellphone service providers form a joint venture to ．
A．strengthen their relationship
B．get a share in the payments industry
C．sell more cellphones
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．test the NFC technology
70．According to the passage， what can users do if they lose their smart phones?
A．Stop the functioning of their phones．
B．Set up a password．
C．Get all the money out of their phones．
D．Cancel large purchases．

A
When first entered， Vanak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant， but once the
pleasant smells of kabob (烤肉串) hit the senses， you are incapable of calling it anything less．
Owned by a local couple， this Persian restaurant has an inviting， homelike atmosphere that
many restaurants lack．
The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration， but the
environment is truly charming．
Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner， the restaurant still attracts all customers，
especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking．
A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world
topics， watching news events on TV， drinking a black tea known as Persian chai， and reading
local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plates piled with food．
The variety of food at the restaurant is limited， but the amount of each dish is fairly
large． Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10， so not only is it affordable but
practical as well．
The food especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy，
made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill (烤肉架)．
The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs， which are different styles of
grilled meat．
One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob， which is made of grilled
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
chicken pieces served with either rice or bread． Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob， a
kabob consisting of grilled beef．

My father was Chief Engineer of a merchant ship， which was sunk in World War Ⅱ． The
book Night of the U-boats told the story．
Memories
In September， 1940， my mother， sister and I went to Swansea， where my father’s ship
was getting ready to sail． We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
and keep him safe．
Then I remember my mother lying face down， sobbing． She had heard from a friend that
the ship had been sunk by a torpedo (鱼雷)．
I can remember the arrival of the telegram (电报)， which in those days always brought bad
news． My grandmother opened it． It read， "Safe． Love Ted．"
My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father’s knee， his
arm in a bandage．
He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the
war． For as long as I can remember， he had a weak heart． Mother said it was caused by the
torpedoes． He said it was because of the cigarettes． Whichever， he died suddenly in his early
50s．
Ten years later I read Night of the U-boats and was able to complete the story．
Torpedo
One torpedo struck the ship． Father was in the engine room， where the third engineer was
killed． He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned．
By the time he got on deck (甲板) he was alone． Every lifeboat was gone except one which
had stuck fast． When he tried to cut it free， it swung against the ship， injuring his hand and
arm． He had no choice but to jump — still with the photograph in his pocket．
Three days later， he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow． All 23 with him signed the
back of the photograph．
A Toast
In my room is the book and the photograph． Often， glass in hand， I have wondered how
I would have dealt with an explosion， a sinking ship， a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for
rescue? Lest(以免) we forget，I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war．
61．We can infer that the mother and children went to Swansea ．
A．to meet a friend
B．to see the father off
C．to take a family photo
D．to enjoy the sailing of the ship
62．What did the author learn about the father from the telegram?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．He was still alive．
B．His knee was broken．
C．His ship had been sunk．
D．He had arrived in Glasgow．
63．The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 6 refers to the father’s ．
A．weak heart
B．taking a shore job
C．failure to return to sea
D．injury caused by a torpedo
64．What can we know about the author’s father after his ship was attacked?

B．He repaired the engines．
C．He managed to take a lifeboat．

65．What is the passage mainly about?

C．A ship engineer’s wartime experience．
D．A merchant’s memories of a sea rescue．
C
A recent study of ancient and modern elephants has come up with the unexpected conclusion
that the African elephant is divided into two distinct (不同的) species．
The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard Universities when they were
examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern
elephants — the Asian elephant，African forest elephant，and African savanna elephant．
Once they obtained DNA sequences (序列) from two fossils (化石)， mammoths and
mastodons， the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants． They found to their
amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian
elephants and mammoths．
The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
the African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years． The divergence of
the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly
mammoths． This result amazed all the scientists．
There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate
species， but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different
species．
Previously， many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest
elephants were two populations of the same species， despite the elephants’ significant size
differences． The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3．5 metres while the forest
elephant has an average shoulder height of 2．5 metres． The savanna elephant weighs between six
and seven tons， roughly double the weight of the forest elephant． But the fact that they look so
different does not necessarily mean they are different species． However the proof lay in the
analysis of the DNA．
Alfred Roca， assistant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of
Illinois， said， "We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for
conservation purposes． Since 1950， all African elephants have been conserved as one
species． Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinctive animals，the
forest elephant should become a bigger priority(优先) for conservation purposes．"
66．One of the fossils studied by the researchers is that of ．
A．the Asian elephant B．the forest elephant
C．the savanna elephant D．the mastodon elephant
67．The underlined word "divergence" in Paragraph 4 means" "．
A．evolution B．exhibition C．separation D．examination
68．The researchers’ conclusion was based on a study of the African elephant’s ．
A．DNA B．height C．weight D．population
69．What are Alfred Roca’s words mainly about?
A．The conservation of African elephants．
B．The purpose of studying African elephants．
C．The way to divide African elephants into two units．
D．The reason for the distinction of African elephants．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
70．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Naturalists’ Beliefs about Elephants
B．Amazing Experiments about Elephants
C．An Unexpected Finding about Elephants
D．A Long Scientific Debate about Elephants

given in the passage．
My First Long Run
Two weeks ago， I had a quarrel with my husband． After he had driven off in anger， I
realized that I wasn’t going to feel any better just sitting there． Feeling abandoned and guilty， I
put on my gym shoes to get some fresh air．
Our driveway has a slope (斜坡) that is easier just to jog down if you are lazy， taking
advantage of gravity． Instead of stopping at the end of the slope， I decided to see if I could just
jog to the end of the street． I had tried a few months ago and failed miserably． Since that first
attempt I had been jogging regularly and was significantly fitter， but still very lazy． However
this time around I managed to reach the stop sign with ease and I figured I would go a little further．
After about one kilometer， however， I noticed that my upper body was tense． To make the
movement easier I had to relax my body， and tried to take deep breaths of fresh air．
I kept giving myself the excuse to stop． No one would be disappointed． No one would even
know． But I didn’t stop． I wanted to keep going harder， better， faster， stronger． To my
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
great surprise， I ran 4．9 km in 31 minutes． When I got back， I had tears in my eyes． I did
something I thought I could never do．
It was the first long run of my life． Since then， I have improved my stride (步幅) and
time．After every run I feel fitter， happier and motivated to keep progressing． I love the runner’s
high． I normally jog because I want to look good． I want to run because it makes me feel good．

The picture shows us a simple truth：If too many drops of water are put together，they will
become a sea．Many trees standing together form a forest and many people make up a society．It
conveys a message to us：A whole is made up of many small parts that are closely related．Nothing
or no one could exist alone．
The picture sets us thinking deeply：our society is made up of many people who have
different personality and characters．If we want to create a harmonious society，we must live in
harmony with others．On the other hand，since everybody is related to others，we should be
responsible for what we say and what we do so that we can develop a pleasant relationship with
others，which makes it possible for us to enjoy our life to the fullest．

A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large， tempting(诱人的) apple on one

fruit-eater， 36 a bar of chocolate if given the choice， 37 ， as they say，
the forbidden fruit can be tempting． Seeing the apple， the boy wanted it． The more he looked
at it， the 38 he felt and the more he wanted that apple．
He stood on tiptoe (脚尖)， 39 as high as he could，but even at his tallest 40 he was
unable to touch it．He began to 41 up and down，as high as he could，at the 42 of
each jump stretching his arms to get the apple．Still it remained out of 43 ．
Not giving up， he thought， if only he had something to 44 on． His school bag
wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to 45 the things inside， like his
lunch box， pencil case， and Gameboy． Looking 46 ， he hoped he might find an old box，
a rock， or， 47 luck， even a ladder， but it was a tidy neighbourhood and there was
nothing he could use．
He had tried everything he could think to do． 48 seeing any other choices， he
gave up and started to walk 49 ． At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking
about how hungry he had become from his 50 ， and how he really wanted that
apple． The more he 51 like this， the more unhappy he became．
52 ， the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy， even if he couldn’t always get what
he wanted． He started to say to himself， "This isn’t 53 ． I don’t have the apple and
I’m feeling miserable as well． There’s 54 more I can do to get the apple — that is
unchangeable — but we are supposed to be able to 55 our feelings．If that’s the case， what

第三部分 阅读理解(共15 小题；每小题2 分，满分30 分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
We know the famous ones — the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells — but
what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and
the windshield wiper (雨刮器)? Shouldn’t we know who they are?
Joan McLean thinks so． In fact， McLean， a professor of physics at Mountain University
in Range， feels so strongly about this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic． In
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
addition to learning "who" invented "what"， however， McLean also likes her students to learn
the answers to the "why" and "how" questions． According to McLean， "When students learn the
answers to these questions， they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and
more motivated to give inventing a try．"
Her students agree． One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking
proof of McLean’s statement． "If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper’s invention，
"said Tommy Lee， a senior physics major， "I never would have dreamed of turning my bad
experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive．" Lee is currently negotiating to sell
his patent to an umbrella producer．
So， just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well， Mary Anderson came up with
the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City． The day was cold and stormy， but Anderson still
wanted to see the sights， so she jumped aboard a streetcar． Noticing that the driver was
struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield， she found herself wondering why
there couldn’t be a built-in device for cleaning the window． Still wondering about this when she
returned home to Birmingham， Alabama， Anderson started drafting out solutions． One of her
ideas， a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside，
became the first windshield wiper．
Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations． It’s hard to imagine driving
without Garrett A． Morgan’s traffic light． It’s equally impossible to picture a world without
Katherine J． Blodgett’s innovation that makes glass invisible． Can you picture life without clear
windows and eyeglasses?
56．By mentioning "traffic light" and "windshield wiper"， the author indicates that countless
inventions are ．
A．beneficial， because their inventors are famous
B．beneficial， though their inventors are less famous
C．not useful， because their inventors are less famous
D．not useful， though their inventors are famous
57．Professor Joan McLean’s course aims to ．
A．add colour and variety to students’ campus life
B．inform students of the windshield wiper’s invention
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．carry out the requirements by Mountain University
D．prepare students to try their own inventions
58．Tommy Lee’s invention of the unbreakable umbrella was ．
A．not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer
B．inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper
C．due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm
D．not related to Professor Joan McLean’s lectures
59．Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?
A．How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?
B．How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window?
C．Shouldn’t We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?
D．Shouldn’t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?

According to the US government， wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900
gigawatts of electricity every year． Unfortunately， the water there is far too deep for even the
tallest windmills (see picture) to touch bottom． An experiment under way off the coast of
Norway， however， could help put them anywhere．
The project， called Hywind， is the world’s first large-scale deepwater wind turbine (涡轮
发电机)． Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton， 2．3-megawatt turbine， Hywind represents
totally new technology． The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar (see
picture)， a technology Hywind’s creator， the Norwegian company StatoilHydro， has developed
recently． The steel spar， which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface，
will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables (缆索)； these will keep the spar stable and prevent
the turbine from moving up and down in the waves． Hywind’s stability (稳定性) in the cold and
rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power． If
all goes according to plan， the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of
southwestern Norway as early as September．
To produce electricity on a large scale， a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger
turbines than Hywind does， but it’s difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a
floating spar in the middle of the ocean． To make that turbine heavier， the whole spar’s centre of
gravity must be moved much closer to the ocean’s surface． To do that， the company plans to
design a new kind of wind turbine， one whose gearbox (变速箱) sits at sea level rather than
behind the blades (see picture)．
Hywind is a test run， but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be
extremely large． Out at sea， the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore， where
all existing offshore windmills are planted． Deep-sea farms are invisible from land， which helps
overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection． If the technology catches on， it will open up vast
areas of the planet’s surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
63．The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of ．
A．the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floor
B．the spar which is floating in deep-sea water
C．the blades driven by strong and steady sea wind
D．the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface
64．To balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar， a new type of turbine is to be designed
with its gearbox sitting ．
A．on the sea floor B．on the spar top
C．at sea level D．behind the blades
65．Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can ．
A．solve the technical problems of deepwater windmills
B．make financial profits by producing more turbines
C．settle the arguments about environmental problems
D．explore low-carbon power resources available at sea

Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing
baseball． Shay asked， "Do you think they’ll let me play?" Shay’s father knew that most of the
boys would not want someone like Shay on their team， but the father also understood that if his
son， mentally and physically disabled， were allowed to play， it would give him a much-needed
sense of belonging and some confidence．
Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play， not
expecting much． The boy looked around and said， "We’re losing by six runs (分) and the game
is in the eighth inning (局)． I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the
final inning．"
Shay struggled over to the team’s bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his
father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart． The boys saw the father’s joy at his son
being accepted．
In the bottom of the eighth inning， Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by
three． In the top of the final inning， Shay put on a glove and played in the field． Even though
no hits came his way， he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field． In the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
bottom of the final inning， Shay’s team scored again． Now， Shay was scheduled to be next at
bat． Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?
Surprisingly ， Shay was given the bat ． Everyone knew that a hit was almost
impossible． The first pitch (投) came and Shay missed． The pitcher again took a few steps
forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay． As the pitch came in， Shay swung at the ball and
hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher．
The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been
out and that would have been the end of the game． Instead， the pitcher threw the ball right over
the head of the first baseman， beyond the reach of all teammates． The audience and the players
from both teams started screaming，"Shay， run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever run that
far but made it to first base， wide-eyed and shocked．
Everyone shouted，"Run to second!"Catching his breath， Shay awkwardly ran towards
second． By the time Shay rounded towards second base， the smallest guy on their team， who
had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time， could have thrown the ball to the
second baseman， but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the
ball high and far over the third baseman’s head．
All were screaming， "Shay， Shay， Shay， all the way Shay．" Shay reached third base
when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted， "Shay， run to third．" As Shay rounded
third， all were on their feet， crying， "Shay， run home!" Shay ran to home， stepped on the
home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team．
That day， the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this
world． Shay didn’t make it to another summer and died that winter， having never forgotten
being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully
hug her little hero of the day!
66．Not expecting much， Shay’s father still asked the boy if Shay could play， mainly because
the father ．
A．noticed some of the boys on the field were hesitating
B．guessed his presence would affect the boys’ decision
C．learned some of the boys on the field knew Shay well
D．understood Shay did need a feeling of being accepted
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
67．In the bottom of the final inning Shay was given the bat because the boys ．
A．believed they were sure to win the game
B．would like to help Shay enjoy the game
C．found Shay was so eager to be a winner
D．felt forced to give Shay another chance
68．The smallest boy threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head， probably because
that boy ．
A．was obviously aware of the pitcher’s purpose
B．looked forward to winning the game for his team
C．failed to throw the ball to the second baseman
D．saw that Shay already reached second base
69．Which of the following has nothing to do with Shay’s becoming the hero for his team?
A．The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman．
B．The audience and the players from both teams cheered for him．
C．The opposing players failed to stop his running to home．
D．One of the opposing players ran to help him．
70．What do you think is the theme of the story?
A．True human nature could be realized in the way we treat each other．
B．Everyone has his own strength even if mentally or physically disabled．
C．Everyone can develop his team spirit in sports and please his parents．
D．The results of the game should not be the only concern of the players．

When Should a Leader Apologize and When Not?
Why Difficult?
When we wrong someone we know， even not intentionally， we are generally expected to
apologize so as to improve the situation． But when we’re acting as leaders， the circumstances
are different． The act of apology is carried out not merely at the level of the individual but also at
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
the level of the institution． It is a performance in which every expression matters and every word
becomes part of the public record． Refusing to apologize can be smart， or it can be stupid． So，
readiness to apologize can be seen as a sign of strong character or as a sign of weakness． A
successful apology can turn hate into personal and organizational harmony — while an apology
that is too little， too late， or too obviously strategic can bring on individual and institutional
ruin． What， then， is to be done? How can leaders decide if and when to apologize publicly?
Why Now?
The question of whether leaders should apologize publicly has never been more
urgent． During the last decade or so， the United States in particular has developed an apology
culture — apologies of all kinds and for all sorts of wrongdoings are made far more frequently
than before． More newspaper writers have written about the growing importance of public
apologies． More articles， cartoons， advice columns， and radio and television programs have
similarly dealt with the subject of private apologies．
Why Bother?
Why do we apologize? Why do we ever put ourselves in situations likely to be difficult，
embarrassing， and even risky? Leaders who apologize publicly could be an easy target． They
are expected to appear strong and capable． And whenever they make public statements of any
kind， their individual and institutional reputations are in danger． Clearly， then， leaders should
not apologize often or lightly． For a leader to express apology， there needs to be a good， strong
reason． Leaders will publicly apologize if and when they think the costs of doing so are lower
than the costs of not doing so．
Why Refuse?
Why is it that leaders so often refuse to apologize， even when a public apology seems to be
in order? Their reasons can be individual or institutional． Because leaders are public figures，
their apologies are likely to be personally uncomfortable and even professionally risky． Leaders
may also be afraid that the admission of a mistake will damage or destroy the organization for
which they are responsible． There can be good reasons for hanging tough in tough situations， as
we shall see， but it is a high-risk strategy．

The burden of students has been a hot topic for years， but the load of parents has received
little attention， especially from their own children．
The picture shows us a touching moment when a little girl comes to greet her working
mom． Realizing her mom must be very tired after a day’s work， the girl helps to remove the bag
from her shoulder． In response， the mom kneels down to show how happy and thankful she
feels．
All this reminds me of my mother who has been doing whatever she could to let me have the
best． But， totally engaged in my own study， I seldom pay attention to what mother needs and
feels， and always think studying well is the only thing I could do in return． Now I know I can do
my bit to help with the everyday washing， bedroom cleaning， or at least prepare breakfast
myself， so as to share mother’s daily burden． The picture convinces me it is even more
important to be a good daughter than a "good" student．

"Mum， what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼) in the
closet(衣橱)?"Jessica asked．"A skeleton in the closet?" her mother paused thoughtfully． "Well，
it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about． For example， if in the
past， someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse， it would be ‘a skeleton in
his family’s closet’． He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it．"
"Why pick on my family?"Jessica’s father said with anger． "Your family history isn’t so
good， you know． Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Australia for his crimes?" "Yes， but people these days say that you are not a real Australian
unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners．" "Gosh， sorry I asked． I think I understand now，
" Jessica cut in before things grew worse．

other． Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband， who
hid behind his newspaper pretending to read． When she finished， she gathered the freshly
pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet． Just as she opened the door and
reached in to hang a skirt， a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones
fell to the floor． Jessica’s mother sank into a faint(晕倒)， waking only when Jessica put a cold，
wet cloth on her forehead． She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter．
"What happened? Where am I?" she asked． "You just destroyed the school’s skeleton，
Mum，" explained Jessica． "I brought it home to help me with my health project． I meant to tell
you， but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets， it caused a problem
between you and Dad．" Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh
madly． "They’re both crazy，" she thought．

The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928)． After
immigrating from England to the USA， and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer，
he moved to Chicago， where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of
1871． In those days，it was nicknamed "the Garden City"， almost certainly the source of
Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns． Returning to London， Howard developed
his design in the 1880s and 1890s， drawing on ideas that were popular at the time， but creating
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
a unique combination of designs．
The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place， dirty and crowded； but
it offered economic and social opportunities． At the same time， the British countryside was in
fact equally unattractive： though it promised fresh air and nature， it suffered from agricultural
depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages， nor much social life． Howard’s
idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement， the garden
city． Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company， borrowing money to
establish a garden city in the depressed countryside， far enough from existing cities to make sure
that the land was bought at the bottom price．
Garden cities would provide a central public open space， radial avenues and connecting
industries． They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt， also owned by the
company， containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions． As more and more
people moved in， the garden city would reach its planned limit — Howard suggested 32，000
people； then， another would be started a short distance away． Thus， over time，there would
develop a vast planned house collection，extending almost without limit； within it， each garden
city would offer a wide range of jobs and services，but each would also be connected to the others
by a rapid transportation system， thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big
city．
66．How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?
A．Through his observation of the country life．
B．Through the combination of different ideas．
C．By taking other people’s advice．
D．By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago．
67．The underlined phrase "drawing on" in Paragraph 1 probably means ．
A．making use of B．making comments on
C．giving an explanation of D．giving a description of
68．According to Howard， garden cities should be built ．
A．as far as possible from existing cities
B．in the countryside where the land was cheap
C．in the countryside where agriculture was developed
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．near cities where employment opportunities already existed
69．What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?
A．Their number would continue to rise．
B．Each one would continue to become larger．
C．People would live and work in the same place．
D．Each one would contain a certain type of business．
70．What could be the best title for the passage?
A．City and Countryside
B．The Invention of the Garden City
C．A New City in Chicago
D．A Famous Garden City in England

Why should mankind explore space? Why should money， time and effort be spent exploring
and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on
space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that， understandably，
are very often asked．
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings． What
drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains， and on into all possible areas and
environments? The wider the spread of a species， the better its chance of survival． Perhaps the
best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible．
Nearly every successful civilization has explored， because by doing so， any dangers in
surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for． Without knowledge， we may be
completely destroyed by the danger． With knowledge， we can lessen its effects．
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在的) resources to be found． Even if
we have no immediate need of them， they will perhaps be useful later． Resources may be more
than physical possessions ． Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through
exploration． The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or
quality of our lives． We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in
earthquake prediction ， in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications
systems． Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products(副产品) of technological
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
developments in the space industry!
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return， the exploration of space
allows creative， brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save
us． While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or
how it works，it also holds dangers．The danger exists，but knowledge can help human beings to
survive．Without the ability to reach out across space，the chance to save ourselves might not exist．
While Earth is the only planet known to support life， surely the adaptive ability of humans
would allow us to live on other planets． It is true that the lifestyle would be different， but human
life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future．
71．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?
A．To express his doubts．
B．To compare different ideas．
C．To introduce points for discussion．
D．To describe the conditions on Earth．
72．What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?
A．Humans are nature-born to do so．
B．Humans have the tendency to fight．
C．Humans may find new sources of food．
D．Humans don’t like to stay in the same place．
73．The underlined word "spin-offs" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ．
A．survival chances B．potential resources
C．unexpected benefits D．physical possessions
74．What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?
A．Our genetic makeup．
B．Resources on the earth．
C．The adaptive ability of humans．
D．By-products in space exploration．
75．Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?
A．Space exploration has created many wonders．
B．Space exploration provides the best value for money．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．Space exploration can benefit science and technology．

[1]It is now possible to watch live sport on television on any day of the week， and the
current amount of reporting will undoubtedly increase further in years to come． This is certainly
having an influence on the live sports events themselves， and there are both benefits and
shortcomings to this．
[2]Why has there been such growth in televised sport? For one thing， with digital
broadcasting， there are now many more TV channels than there were even ten years
ago． Moreover， sport has become an important form of entertainment， appealing to both men
and women．
[3]What are the benefits of this state of affairs? One obvious advantage to the profession is
the addition of money provided by television companies． Large football clubs benefit financially
from TV income and the top players can command very large salaries． Less popular sports also
receive money that can be used in training and awareness-raising． What’s more， there is a health
benefit to some of the population， because through televised sport， more people have become
interested in actually playing sport．
[4]However， if so much sport is on television． Considering football again， many
small clubs have suffered financial losses recently， as they cannot compete with the large
ones． There has been a general falling in ticket sales， especially among smaller clubs． Fewer
people attend live matches nowadays， preferring to watch from the comfort of their living
room． And ticket prices have risen greatly．
[5]To sum up， while televised sport has created many opportunities and benefited certain
people and clubs very much， it has also been responsible for changing the nature of live sports
events for ever．

2011 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(江西卷)
英语答案
1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．A 6．C 7．B 8．A 9．C 10．B
11．C 12．A 13．A 14．B 15．C 16．C 17．A 18．B 19．A 20．C
21．A【解析】——六月份第一周我们需要三个单间。——没问题。宾馆那时候不是很忙。
No problem(没问题)，符合语意。Don’t bother 不用麻烦了，Never mind 没关系，It doesn’t
matter 不要紧，没关系，均不合语意。
22．B【解析】——据说约翰会得到一份年薪超过60 000 美元的工作。——是的，而且会按
周付薪。第一空用a，构成 a year 相当于every/per year，而"by the+时间"即"按……计
算"，如by the hour/week/month/year"按小时/周/月/年计算"。
23．B【解析】门口不可能是邮递员，(现在)才六点钟。对现在的否定推测，由It’s only six
o’clock．分析可知应用can’t(不可能)，而mustn’t 表禁止，won’t 不会，needn’t 不必，
均不合句意。
24．A【解析】——我得说，这部电影没趣。——为什么呀?(我觉得)比我曾看过的电影有趣
得多了。not a bit "一点儿都不"。根据句中的than 可知，此处应用形容词的比较级，而
interesting 为多音节形容词，其比较级是在前面加more，如表示程度，则在more 前加
far。
25．B【解析】你为何不让他注意到你病得无法继续工作的事实?此处是it 的特殊用法，其
本身无实义。
26．C【解析】村民们都已了解到我们要做的事就是重建这座桥。本题中known 后跟宾语从
句，其中含有主语从句what we’ll do，what 在该从句中作do 的宾语，表示"……的事"。
27．A【解析】这房子太贵且太大，此外，我已渐渐爱上了我们租来的小屋。therefore 因此，
somehow 不知怎的，otherwise 否则，均不合逻辑。
28．D【解析】要不是他目前的伤情，我们昨天就会把约翰的名字列到比赛的名单中了。but
for 表示"要不是"，根据yesterday 可知此处表示与过去的事实相反，结合选项可知主句
中应用would+have done，故选D。
29．A【解析】请叫我的秘书今天下午或在你方便的时候安排一个会议。本题考查由whenever
引导的让步状语从句。
30．B【解析】早晨我们来上班，结果发现有人晚上闯入过办公室。空格处的动作发生在found
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
之前，故用过去完成时，选B。
31．D【解析】依你看，如果他都不努力帮他自己，那我们帮他的目的是什么呢?what’s the point
of．．．表示"……的目的(意图)是什么?"，而sympathy 同情，theme 主题，object 物体，
与句意不符。
32．C【解析】戈登先生一听到他妻子打电话说她摔了一跤，马上离开办公室匆匆往家赶。
此句用到了on doing 结构，即"一……就……"；say 在表示"表达、说明(信息)"时不用被
动语态，此处saying 表示电话的"内容是…… 涉及…… 说的是……"。
33．D【解析】她已经尽力了，请不要对她的工作太挑剔。be too particular about ．．．对……
太挑剔(讲究)。special 特殊的；responsible 有责任的；unusual 不同寻常的。
34．C【解析】她带着游客参观着这座博物馆——花了三年多才建成的建筑。the construction
of(……的建筑)，which 指代the museum。
35．C【解析】你不可能预知一切，往往事情并不如你所愿。run out 用完，耗尽；break out
爆发；work out 产生结果，发展；put out 熄灭。故选C。
36．C【解析】根据常理可知，应该是玛丽在孩子们睡觉前给他们讲故事。
37．C【解析】由第一段的玛丽的工作及第二段首句分析可知，照顾这三个男孩的工作是极
其"令人疲惫的"，故用tiring。
38．B【解析】由下文的to get comfortable 可知她将自己的脚放到沙发上歇息。
39．D【解析】认为照看小孩的工作赚钱容易的人显然没遇见这三个男孩。
40．A【解析】由下文的I mustn’t sleep 可知，玛丽的眼皮越来越沉。
41．B【解析】但她实在太疲惫了，与她的想法相反，她睡着了。
42．D【解析】由第四段最后一句中的a sharp sound awoke her 可知，玛丽已进入梦乡。第
三、四段描述她的梦，故此处用dreamt。
43．B【解析】make a fortune 意为"发财，赚钱"，与梦中的wore diamonds and designer clothes
相吻合。
44．B【解析】由下文的her favorite hobby 再结合选项可知reading 符合语境。
45．C【解析】她不仅享受到了富人的生活，甚至(even)还在自己的电视秀节目中发挥主导
作用。

法做某事。

直到(until)一种响声将她吵醒。
52．A【解析】由下文的some very burnt bread 可知，此处应用smoke。
53．C【解析】因为三个小男孩在厨房将面包烤糊了，故他们有内疚感。guilty 内疚的。
54．D【解析】由第三、四段玛丽的梦和下文的never to fall asleep on the job again 可知，此
处应用asleep。
55．A【解析】因为玛丽是受雇照看这三个小男孩，所以她承诺(promised)决不会再在工作
时睡觉了。
56．B【解析】短语猜测题。根据第一段母亲回答Jessica 的一番话可知其含义同B 项，表
示"不可外扬的家丑"。
57．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段可知澳大利亚人的祖先是被运到澳大利亚的犯人。
58．B【解析】细节理解题。因为看到衣橱里的骨骼而晕倒，显然是由"惊吓"所致。
59．C【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段Jessica 的解释中提到的"I brought it home to help me
with my health project"可知是因为学校任务，Jessica 才把骨骼带回来的。
60．C【解析】推理判断题。从女儿的问题，到接下来的夫妻之间的相互挖苦，再到最后真
相大白，他们方才意识到自己原来是误解了女儿的问题。
61．B【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段的第一句即可知B 项正确。
62．C【解析】正误判断题。由Convenient 部分的内容可知C 项正确。Winners Club 是为青

7 days a week 可知B 项错误；由第二段的最后一句可知D 项错误。
63．D【解析】细节理解题。从Mega magazine included 部分中的第一句．．．to make even more
of your money 可知选D。
64．B【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的You will have to get permission from your parent
or guardian．．．可知选B。
65．D【解析】推理判断题。本文是一则广告，其目的就是"介绍银行的一项新服务，以吸
引青少年选择这一服务"。故选D。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
66．D【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段的第二、三两句可知，他的花园城市得名于重建后
的芝加哥的绰号。
67．A【解析】词义猜测题。联系上下文可知该句大意是：他"利用"当时很受欢迎的一些想

depressed countryside．．．the land was bought at the bottom price"，可知选B。
69．A【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后两句可知garden cities 的数量将会持续增
加。
70．B【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段Ebenezer Howard 的经历和花园城市的最初构想，
第二段花园城市的设计背景，以及第三段对花园城市未来发展的畅想可知，本文的标题
为The Invention of the Garden City。

72．A【解析】细节理解题。由第二段最后一句可知，人类天生如此。
73．C【解析】词义猜测题。第四段前几句提到了探索太空会有意外收获，而该句的already

【范文赏读】
Good morning， everyone，
I am Li Hua from Xingguang Middle School． The topic of my speech is "Let’s Ride
Bicycles"．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
As is known to all， with the improvement of people’s living standards， cars have become a
popular means of transport， bringing great convenience to our life． How-ever， they have also
caused some problems such as air pollution and traffic jams．
How can we solve the problems then? As far as I’m concerned， riding bicycles is a good
solution． For one thing， bicycles don’t need any petrol and they are energy-saving． For another，
bicycles are environmentally friendly because they won’t give off waste gas． What’s more，
riding bicycles is a good way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our health．
Therefore ， let’s take the responsibility to build up a low-carbon city by riding
bicycles． Come on and join us!
Thank you!

This year I decided to do something to regain my good name as a kindly uncle．My 36 ，
Tony， had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last
year． His 37 had no reason to be thankful to me either， because the year before， I had
38 their dear son with a pot of paste (浆糊) and some funny pictures． Instead of 39
them into a book， Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them． This year，
40 ， I decided to let him 41 for himself．
We went into a big shop， but Tony was very particular about 42 ． Although I
tried to show him toy after toy， he was not to be 43 ． Then I saw he suddenly became
44 ； he had discovered something he really liked： a large tin drum． I was quite happy too
— 45 I thought what Tony’s mother would say when she saw it． Nobody would get any

pointed out that there were so many 52 in grey suits． I was just going to call the
police for help， when I saw a strange 53 dressed in strange orange clothes． He was
wearing a false beard and had a caveman’s axe (斧子) in one hand， and a space gun in the

A
I got my first driver’s license (执照) in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at
Central High School in Charlotte， North Carolina． Four years later when it was time to renew
my license I was a married woman． Henry and I were living in Baltimore， Maryland． Two
weeks before my 20th birthday， Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July
afternoon． When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina
driver’s license， ready to renew， the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I
was not yet 21． "Mr．Henry Smith， your husband， will have to sign for you，" he said．
I argued， pointing to a very large belly (肚子) of mine， "I am married． I am having a
baby． Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?" He answered coldly， "It’s the
law， madam．"
Henry encouraged me to calm down， just go ahead and get the license and be done with
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
it． "No，" I said． I refused to have him sign for me． So I left without a Maryland license．
I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail —
using my name Susan Brown． And thus it was for the next twelve years． Since Henry was in the
army I could drive under my home state license． By the time Henry left the army we were once
again living in Maryland， and I had to take the Maryland driver’s exam． Since then I just go in
and renew every four years — sign the name Susan Brown， have my new picture taken， and
walk out with a license to drive．
56．Susan got her first driver’s license ．
A．before she got married to Henry
B．when she was twenty years old
C．after she finished high school
D．when she just moved to Maryland
57．Susan failed to renew her license the first time in Maryland because ．
A．she was forbidden to drive by Maryland law
B．she lacked driving experience in Maryland
C．she was to give birth to a baby soon
D．she insisted on signing for herself
58．We can infer from the text that in the U．S． ．
A．American males should serve in the army
B．different states may have different laws
C．people have to renew their licenses in their home states
D．women should adopt their husbands’ family names after marriage
B
About 21，000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in school
buildings． Instead， they receive their elementary (初等) and high school education by working
at home on computers． The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public
"cyberschools"， and that is about twice as many as two years ago．
The money for students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states
where they live． Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional
public schools． They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own
speed． These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in
traditional schools． They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who
live far from school．
Whatever the judgment of cyberschools， they are getting more and more popular． For
example， a new cyberschool called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students
this fall． It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen．
Children get free equipment for their online education． This includes a computer， a printer，
books and technical services． Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending
emails through their computers when necessary．
Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another． But 56 such students who
finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently met for the first
time． They were guests of honor at their graduation．
59．What do we know from the text about students of a cyberschool?
A．They have to take long bus rides to school．
B．They study at home rather than in classrooms．
C．They receive money from traditional public schools．
D．They do well in traditional school programs．
60．What is a problem with cyberschools?
A．Their equipment costs a lot of money．
B．They get little support from the state government．
C．It is hard to know students’ progress in learning．
D．The students find it hard to make friends．
61．Cyberschools are getting popular because ．
A．they are less expensive for students
B．their students can work at their own speed
C．their graduates are more successful in society
D．they serve students in a wider age range
62．We can infer that the author of the text is ．
A．unprejudiced in his description of cyberschools
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．excited about the future of cyberschools
C．doubtful about the quality of cyberschools
D．disappointed at the development of cyberschools
C
Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车)． But Henry Ford did not
start to build his first car until 1896． That was eleven years after two Germans developed the
world’s first automobile． Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that
moved a car’s parts to the worker， instead of making the worker move to the parts． That is not
true， either． Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford． What Henry Ford did
was to use other people’s ideas and make them better． And he made the whole factory a moving
production line．
In the early days of the automobile， almost every car maker raced his cars． It was the best
way of gaining public notice． Henry Ford decided to build a racing car． Ford’s most famous race
was his first one． It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself．
The race was in 1901， at a field near Detroit． All of the most famous cars had entered， but
only two were left： the Winton and Ford’s． The Winton was famous for its speed． Most people
thought the race was over before it began．
The Winton took an early lead． But halfway through the race， it began to lose power． Ford
started to gain． And near the end of the race， he took the lead． Ford won the race and defeated
the Winton． His name appeared in newspapers and he became well-known all over the United
States． Within weeks of the race， Henry Ford formed a new automobile company． In 1903，
a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company． That sale was the beginning of Henry
Ford’s dream． Ford said： "I will build a motor car for the great mass of people． It will be large
enough for the family， but small enough for one person to operate and care for． It will be built
of the best materials． It will be built by the best men to be employed． And it will be built with
the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce． It will be so low in price that no man
making good money will be unable to own one．"
The Model T was a car of that kind． It only cost $850． It was a simple machine that drivers
could depend on． Doctors bought the Model T． So did farmers． Even criminals． They
considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation． Americans loved the Model T． They
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
wrote stories and songs about it． Thousands of Model T’s were built in the first few years．
63．What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?
A．He made good use of ideas from others．
B．He produced the first car in the world．
C．He knew how to improve auto parts．
D．He invented the production line．
64．Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?
A．To show off his driving skills．
B．To draw public attention．
C．To learn about new technology．
D．To raise money for his new company．

The Coalition for the Homeless is an organization that seeks to address the needs of the
homeless population in the United States． It is a network of offices， some of which provide food
and houses for the homeless population， and some of which fight for the passing of laws that
would give every American the right to a place to call home． According to the Coalition’s studies，
of over two hundred million people living in the United States， up to three million are homeless
— and the number is still growing． Since the late 1970s， fast-rising house prices， large cuts in
government supported housing programs， and economic recession (经济衰退) have made it
impossible for many Americans to meet housing costs． Sadly， this has resulted in a number of
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
persons being forced to leave their homes and/or unable to find new affordable
homes． According to another research， families with children appear to be the fastest-growing
part of the homeless population， making up 39% of it． The old idea of a homeless person， that
of the single man who gets drunk all the time， is no longer true． A much larger part of the
population now finds itself homeless． Even worse， once a person becomes homeless， he often
finds it impossible to find a job， since most employers require anyone who wants a job from
them to provide a home address on a job application．
67．The word "address" in the second line probably means" "．
A．talk about B．deal with C．fight for D．write to
68．How many people are homeless in the U．S． according to the Coalition studies?

D．they often don’t have enough work experience
70．What is the main cause of the rising number of the homeless in the U．S．?

Everyone is forgetful， but as we age， we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit
— and that can be a very annoying thing． 71 Read on for some techniques worth trying．
1． 72
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent
reduced chance of Alzheimer’s disease(早老性痴呆症)，according to a recent study． 73
Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do． There’s
evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals
appear to do better． In other words， keep your brain looking forward．
2． Go for a walk．
Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form
memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels． In fact，
exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain． 74
3． Learn something new．
Take a Spanish class online， join a drawing club， or learn to play cards． A study found
that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the
mind． But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically
active at the same time． 75 Or go dancing with your friends．
A． Focus on the future．
B． This can be especially harmful to the aged．
C． It should be something like learning gardening．
D． So take a few minutes each day to do some reading．
E． But don’t worry if your schedule isn’t filled with life-changing events．
F． Luckily， research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments．

英语答案
1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．A 6．C 7．B 8．A 9．C 10．B
11．C 12．A 13．A 14．B 15．C 16．C 17．A 18．B 19．A 20．C
21．C【解析】考查情态动词。句意：如果你非要走的话，至少等到暴风雨结束。根据语境
可知must(一定要)正确。can"能够"；may"或许"；will"将要"。
22．A【解析】考查固定短语。句意：汤姆，你不在床上，你在做什么?你应该上床睡觉了。
be supposed to do sth．"本应该做某事"，为固定短语，符合句意。
23．C【解析】考查名词性从句。句意：20 个学生想要去听旨在教授如何快速阅读的课程。
根据句子结构可知，"that aims to teach to read fast"是定语从句，修饰先行词class，
在此定语从句中，teach 后接的宾语从句中缺少表示方式的连接词，故how 正确。此处
为"连接词+to do"结构。
24．D【解析】考查固定短语。句意：你已经到了足以自己谋生的年龄了。earn/make one’s living"
谋生"，为固定短语，故D 项正确。
25．B【解析】考查句子语序。句意：无论一片沙漠有多么干燥，它都并不一定没有生命存
在。首先，how 后面紧跟的应是其修饰的形容词dry，故排除A、C 两项；此外，此处
要用陈述句语序，故B 项正确。
26．C【解析】考查动词短语辨析。句意：考试结果将在星期五下午张贴。put up 有"张贴，
提供，建造"之意，在此意为"张贴"。put down 意为"写下，记下，镇压"；put off 意为"
推迟，阻止"；put away 意为"放好，把……收好"。
27．D【解析】考查代词用法。句意：——你想要茶还是咖啡?——都不要，谢谢。我刚喝
过一些水。根据答句中的"I’ve just had some water"可知此处表示两者都不要，故用neither。
28．B【解析】考查时态。句意：我一做完正在做的事情就去图书馆。由此可知此处表示做
完"手头正在做的事"，故用现在进行时。
29．D【解析】考查固定句型。no sooner．．．than．．．"一……就……"为固定句型，故D 项
正确。hardly．．．when．．．也表示"一……就……"。
30．C【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：旅游者和当地的居民围着篝火一起跳舞。主语the tourists
和动词gather 是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词短语作伴随状语，故C 项正确。
31．B【解析】考查连词。句意：将花放到暖和的房间里，它们将会很快开放。根据语意可
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
知此处表示顺承，故用and 连接。注意此句为固定句式"祈使句+and+陈述句"。
32．C【解析】考查同位语从句。句意：当战争爆发的消息传来时，他决定去部队服役。此
处的" the war broke out"解释说明the news 的具体内容，且从句中不缺少成分，故
为同位语从句，用that 连接。
33．B【解析】考查感叹句。句意：多么奇怪的植物啊!我以前从没见过。此处为"What + a/an
+ adj．+ n． +it is/was"的省略结构，故B 项正确。

time．．．"到……的时候"引导时间状语从句时，如果从句的谓语动词用一般过去时，主
句的谓语动词要用过去完成时。
35．A【解析】考查情景交际。根据答句中的"It won’t kill you"可知go ahead"继续吧"符合语
境。B 项hold on， please"请不要挂断，请等一下"；C 项you’re welcome"不客气"；D
项that’ll do"那样就行了"，均不合语境。
36．D【解析】根据上句中的as a kindly uncle 可知此处应用nephew"侄子，外甥"。cousin
意为"堂(表)姊妹，堂(表)兄弟"；daughter 意为"女儿"；grandson 意为"孙子，外孙"，均
不合适。
37．B【解析】因为去年给Tony 买的生日礼物，他一直都没有原谅我，他的父母亲也没有
理由感谢我。根据38 空后的their dear son 可知此处用parents。
38．A【解析】我送给了他们的儿子一瓶浆糊和一些有趣的图片。present sb． with sth．/ present
sth． to sb．"将某物赠送给某人"为固定搭配。
39．C【解析】Tony 并没有将它们"粘贴"到书里，而是将它们贴在了墙上。根据语境可知应

40．D【解析】这两年我送给Tony 的礼物带来了麻烦和不愉快，因此，今年，我决定让他
自己挑选。此处表示"因果"关系，故用therefore。
41．B【解析】由上下文可知，此处表示：我决定让他自己"挑选"礼物。

toys。

45．B【解析】我也很高兴——"直到"我想到Tony 的母亲见到鼓时，会有怎样的反应。

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
47．D【解析】我"很快"带着Tony 走开，告诉他鼓太贵了。
48．A【解析】根据下文我没有等到Tony 可知，此处表示"Tony 请求独自一人离开(去到处
看看)"，故应选on his own。
49．B【解析】趁此机会，我坐下来让疼痛的脚"休息"一下。
50．C【解析】15 分钟过去了，但是仍然没有Tony 的踪影。我开始"着急"了，站起来去找
他。
51．A【解析】她无助地"四处寻找"，然后指出有如此多的身穿灰色套装的小男孩。look about"
四处寻找"，符合语境。
52．D【解析】根据语境可知此处表示"有如此多的身穿灰色套装的小男孩"，故用small boys。
53．A【解析】我正准备离开的时候，突然见到一个奇怪的"人物"，身穿奇怪的橘黄色衣服。
54．B【解析】at once"立即，马上"符合语境。
55．C【解析】根据上文的关键信息"．．． had a caveman’s axe(斧子)．．．"可知答案。
56．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知Susan 在1953 年也就是在高中一年级
时就考取了驾照。故A 项正确。
57．D【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段可知Susan 坚持要签自己的名字，而非让丈夫
代签，所以最后离开了，并没有拿到马里兰州的驾照，即D 项正确。
58．B【解析】推理判断题。文章第一段提到Susan 在高中时就在北卡罗来纳州取得了驾照；
而在马里兰州必须满21 岁才能拿到驾照，故可推断在美国不同的州有不同的法律。
59．B【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一、二句可知，网络学校的学生不需要到教
室去上课，而是通过家里的电脑接受教育，故B 项正确。
60．C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句可知，网络学校很难知道学生的学习
情况，故C 项正确。
61．B【解析】推理判断题。文章在第三段提到了网络学校教育的益处，即学生可以根据自
己的学习情况来调整学习进度，正是由于这种优越性，网络学校教育变得越来越流行。
62．A【解析】态度推测题。通读全文可知，作者先提出了网络学校教育这种现象，接着指
出不同的人对此所持的不同态度，故作者是从客观角度进行陈述的，并没有偏见，即A
项正确。
63．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，Ford 发明了汽车的观点是错误的，他也
并没有发明能传输汽车零件给工人的生产线，而只是很好地运用了前人的思想，故A
项正确。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
64．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句"It was the best way of gaining public
notice． Henry Ford decided to build a racing car．"可知B 项正确。
65．C【解析】词义推测题。画线部分前一句提到1903 年，底特律的一名医生购买了这个
公司的第一辆汽车。这笔交易是Ford 梦想的开始。故C 项正确。
66．A【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第四段段末Ford 所说的话可以推断出，他的终极梦
想是生产出让普通民众都能买得起的汽车，即A 项正确。
67．B【解析】词义推测题。根据文章第一、二句可知这个组织旨在为美国的无家可归者提
供食物和住所，并为他们争取获得房屋的权利等。故这里的address 为"处置，处理"的
意思，即B 项正确。
68．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段第三句中"．．．up to three million are homeless．．．"
可知C 项正确。
69．A【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一句可知，一旦一个人变得无家可归，他便很难
找到工作，因为大多数雇主会让求职者在申请书上写上住址。
70．D【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第四句可知，20 世纪70 年代末以来，快速上涨的房
价、政府支持的住房项目的减少以及经济的衰退使得越来越多的人无家可归，结合选项

Arthur Miller (1915-2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the
20th century． Miller’s father had moved to the USA from Austria-Hungary， drawn like so many
others by the "Great American Dream"． However， he experienced severe financial hardship
when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s．
Miller’s most famous play， Death of a Salesman， is a powerful attack on the American
system， with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status
as indicators of worth． In Willy Loman， the hero of the play， we see a man who has got into
trouble with this system． Willy is "burnt out" and in the cruel world of business there is no room
for sentiment： if he can’t do the work， then he is no good to his employer， the Wagner
Company， and he must go． Willy is painfully aware of this， and at a loss as to what to do with
his lack of success． He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end．
When it was first staged in 1949， the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews， and it
won the Tony Award for Best Play， the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award， and the Pulitzer
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Prize for Drama． It was the first play to win all three of these major awards．
Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury， Connecticut， on the evening of

Tim Richter and his wife， Linda， had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo， New York —
he in computers， she in special education． "Teaching means everything to us，" Tim would
say． In April 1998， he learned he would need a heart operation． It was the kind of news that
leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose．
Not long after the surgery， Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library， a program
started by Dolly Parton’s foundation(基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from
birth to age five in the singer’s home town of Sevier， Tennessee． "I thought， maybe Linda and
I could do something like this when we retire，" Tim recalls． He placed the brochure on his desk，
"as a reminder"．
Five years later， now retired and with that brochure still on the desk， Tim clicked on
imaginationlibrary． com． The program had been opened up to partners who could take
advantage of book and postage discounts．
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters． Rather than sign up online，
they went to Dollywood for a look-see． "We didn’t want to give the children rubbish，"says
Linda． The books — reviewed each year by teachers， literacy specialists， and Dollywood
board members — included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books
like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series．
Satisfied， the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work． Since 2004，
they have shipped more than 12，200 books to preschoolers in their area． Megan Williams， a
mother of four， is more than appreciative："This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard
of．"
The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children． "Some people sit
there and wait to die，"says Tim． "Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left．"
61．What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?
A．His health problem．
B．His love for teaching．
C．The influence of his wife．
D．The news from the Web．
62．What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?
A．Give out brochures．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】

D．Retire from being a teacher．
63．According to the text， Dolly Parton is ．
A．a well-known surgeon
B．a mother of a four-year-old
C．a singer born in Tennessee
D．a computer programmer
64．Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?
A．To avoid signing up online．
B．To meet Dollywood board members．
C．To make sure the books were the newest．
D．To see if the books were of good quality．
65．What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?

Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old
twin sons： a combination of savings， income， scholarships， and a modest amount of
borrowing． Then her husband lost his job， and the plan fell apart．
"I have two kids in college， and I want to say ‘come home’， but at the same time I want to
provide them with a good education，" says Jacobs．
The Jacobs family did work out a solution： They asked and received more aid from the
schools， and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal
loan(贷款) program． They will each graduate with $20，000 of debt， but at least they will be
able to finish school．
With unemployment rising， financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families
like the Jacobses． More students are applying for aid， and more families expect to need student
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
loans． College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go
around．
At the same time， tuition(学费) continues to rise． A report from the National Center for
Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982
to 2007， while average family income rose just 147%． Student borrowing has more than
doubled in the last decade．
"If we go on this way for another 25 years， we won’t have an affordable system of higher
education，" says Patrick M．Callan， president of the center． "The middle class families have
been financing it through debt． They will send kids to college whatever it takes， even if that
means a huge amount of debt．"
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that
student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them． The good news，
however， is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing， and the
government says that money will flow uninterrupted．
66．According to Paragraph 1， why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?
A．The twins wasted too much money．
B．The father was out of work．
C．Their savings ran out．
D．The family fell apart．
67．How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem?
A．They asked their kids to come home．
B．They borrowed $20，000 from the schools．
C．They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs．
D．They got help from the schools and the federal government．
68．Financial aid administrators believe that ．
A．more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses
B．the government will receive more letters of complaint
C．college tuition fees will double soon
D．America’s unemployment will fall
69．What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．They blamed the government for the tuition increase．
B．Their income remained steady in the last decade．
C．They will try their best to send kids to college．
D．Their debts will be paid off within 25 years．
70．According to the last paragraph， the government will ．
A．provide most students with scholarships
B．dismiss some financial aid administrators
C．stop the companies from making student loans
D．go on providing financial support for college students

Since the 1970s ， scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with
computers． Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send
commands to machines．
Recently， two researchers， Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic
School in Lausanne， Switzerland， demonstrated(展示)a small robotic wheelchair directed by a
person’s thoughts．
In the laboratory， Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or
right hand． He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts．
"Our brain has billions of nerve cells． These send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓)to
the muscles to give us the ability to move． But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can
prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles，" Tavella says． "Our system
allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices．"
The researchers designed a special cap for the user． This head cover picks up the signals
from the scalp (头皮) and sends them to a computer． The computer interprets the signals and
commands the motorized wheelchair． The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects
in its path． They help the computer react to commands from the brain．
Prof． Millan， the team leader， says scientists keep improving the computer software that
interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands． "The practical possibilities that
BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories： communication，
and controlling devices． One example is this wheelchair．"
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
He says his team has set two goals． One is testing with real patients， so as to prove that this
is a technology they can benefit from． And the other is to guarantee that they can use the
technology over long periods of time．
71．BCI is a technology that can ．
A．help to update computer systems
B．link the human brain with computers
C．help the disabled to recover
D．control a person’s thoughts
72．How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?
A．By controlling his muscles．
B．By talking to the machine．
C．By moving his hand．
D．By using his mind．
73．Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?
A．scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair
B．computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
C．scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair
D．cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
74．The team will test with real patients to ．
A．make profits from them
B．prove the technology useful to them
C．make them live longer
D．learn about their physical condition
75．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Switzerland， the BCI Research Center
B．New Findings About How the Human Brain Works
C．BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled
D．Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries

第四部分 书面表达(共两节，满分45 分)
第一节 阅读表达(第76 题2 分，第77、78、、80 题每题3 分，第79 题4 分，满分15 分)
阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到题后相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要
求)。
[1] Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends? Do you frequently
ignore work， study， and other activities to check your phone for messages? Are you anxious and
restless if you are separated from your mobile phone? Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk
any more， and do your thumbs hurt from texting too much?
[2] If ， then it is very possible that you are a textaholic． A textaholic can be
defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving messages． The main symptoms are
a strong desire to text messages， which takes precedence (优先)over everything else， and bad
moods， low spirits and a lack of self-confidence if messages fail to come in． The root of the
problem， as with many addictions， is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as
stress， anxiety and relationship problems． Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become
the most common form of addiction in the future， especially among the young．
[3] So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back
in balance． Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive， and consider
leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out． Most importantly， make a
point of spending quality time with friends and family， and make time to re-learn the art of
face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text
messages． Not only will you save time and money， but you may also rediscover the pleasure of
true communication．

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize， and the
first person to win it twice． However， few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel
Prize winner．
Born in September， 1897， Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters． Along
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars， Irene studied in their own
school， and her mother was one of the teachers． She finished her high school education at the
College of Sévigné in Paris．
Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and
physics． When World War Ⅰ began， Irene went to help her mother， who was using X-ray
facilities (设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers． Irene continued the work by
developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium． Her services were
recognised in the form of a Military Medal by the French government．
In 1918， Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute． In December 1924，
Frederic Joliot joined the Institute， and Irene taught him the techniques required for his
work． They soon fell in love and were married in 1926． Their daughter Helene was born in 1927
and their son Pierre five years later．
Like her mother， Irene combined family and career． Like her mother， Irene was awarded
a Nobel Prize， along with her husband， in 1935． Unfortunately， also like her mother， she
developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity (辐射能)． Irene Joliot-Curie died
from leukemia on March 17， 1956．
49．Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?

In early autumn I applied for admission to college． I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell
University， but my mother fought strongly against it． When she saw me studying a photograph
of my father on the sports ground of Cornell， she tore it up．
"You can’t say it’s not a great university， just because Papa went there．"
"That’s not it at all． And it is a top university．" She was still holding the pieces in her
hand． "But we can’t afford to send you to college．"
"I wouldn’t dream of asking you for money． Do you want me to get a job to help support
you and Papa? Things aren’t that bad， are they?"
"No，" she said． "I don’t expect you to help support us．"
Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop． His chief
customers were his old college friends． To get new customers， my mother had to help． She
picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women， so that she could get to
know more people． Whether those people would turn into customers was another question． I
knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could
show returns． What’s more， they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful； otherwise
they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly．
I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives， and the determination not
to repeat their mistakes． I had a strong belief in my power to get what I wanted． After months of
hard study I won a full college scholarship (奖学金)． My father could hardly contain his pride in
me， and my mother eventually gave in before my success．
53．The author was not allowed to go to Cornell University mainly because ．
A．his father graduated from the university
B．his mother did not think it a great university
C．his parents needed him to help support the family
D．his parents did not have enough money for him
54．The father started his small shop with the money from ．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．a local league B．his university
C．his relatives D．his college friends
55．Why did the mother renew her membership in the league?
A．To help with her husband’s business．
B．To raise money for her son．
C．To meet her long-forgotten friends．
D．To better manage her life．
56．According to the text， what was the author determined to do in that autumn?
A．To get a well-paid job for himself．
B．To improve relations with his mother．
C．To go to his dream university．
D．To carry on with his father’s business．
D
Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s， genetically modified (GM，
转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world，
mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis． But can GM technology
solve world hunger problems? Even if it would， is it the best solution?
Despite what it promises， GM technology actually has not increased the production
potential (潜力)of any crop．In fact，studies show that the most widely grown GM crop，GM
soybeans，has suffered reduced productivity． For instance，a report that analysed nearly two
decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to
significantly increase US crop production．
Something else， however， has been on the rise． While GM seeds are expensive， GM
companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides (杀虫
剂)． On the contrary， US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an
overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops． "The promise was that you could
use less chemicals and boost production．But neither is true，" said Bill Christison， President of
the US National Family Farm Coalition．
At the same time， the authors of the book World Hunger： Twelve Myths argue that there
actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
production， but by problems in food distribution and politics． These indeed deserve our efforts
and money． Meanwhile， the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel
rather than food， according to a 2008 World Bank report．
As a matter of fact， scientists see better ways to feed the world． Another World Bank report
concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger，
because better ways out are available， among which "green" farming is supposed to be the first
choice．
57．The author develops the second paragraph mainly ．
A．by classification B．by comparison
C．by example D．by process
58．What does the underlined word "boost" in the third paragraph probably mean?
A．Control． B．Evaluate． C．Obtain． D．Increase．
59．GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from ．
A．practising "green" farming
B．use of less chemicals
C．fair distribution of their crops
D．using more crops for fuel
60．Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?
A．Optimistic． B．Defensive． C．Disapproving． D．Casual．
第二节(共5 小题，每小题2 分，满分10 分)
根据短文内容，从下框的A~F 选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一
项为多余项。
A．A sense of humour is not an inborn ability．
B．A sense of humour can be developed in our life．
C．A sense of humour helps us from several aspects．
D．A sense of humour means more than telling jokes．
E．A sense of humour can be expressed in many ways．
F．A sense of humour helps people to better enjoy life．
61．_______
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
As awareness of the benefits of humour increases， most of us want to get all the laughs we
can． It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humour to
help us physically， mentally， emotionally， and spiritually． Every system of the body responds
to laughter in some important or positive way．
62．________
Many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour． They think that
when it comes to a sense of humour，"either you’ve got it or you don’t．"This is false!What is true，
however，is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with． For
example，we laugh when we are tickled under the arm，even without thinking about how to react．
63．________
The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are
mature at birth in human infants，but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humour．(After
all，when a baby laughs in his small bed we don’t rush over and say，"That kid has a great sense of
humour!") Your sense of humour is something you can develop over a lifetime．Don’t be nervous
before others and try to laugh at yourself — then you will make them laugh too．
64．_______
Humour includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling． Many people worry needlessly
that they do not have a good sense of humour because they are not good joke tellers． More than
jokes， a sense of humour requires being willing and able to see the funny side of life’s situations
as they happen． In fact， one of the best definitions(定义)of a sense of humour is "the ability to
see the nonserious element in a situation．"
65．_________
There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humour， but joke telling is
only one of those ways． As more is discovered about how humour benefits our life， more people
will be able to see and enjoy the humour when they are in a difficult situation． Life depends on
air，food and water，but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humour．

______________________________________________
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
2011 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(陕西卷)
英语答案
1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．A 6．G 7．E 8．F 9．C 10．B
11．B【解析】考查定语从句。句意：我和我的朋友们走到山顶，在那里我们观赏到湖的美
景。根据句意可知从句缺少地点状语，故用where 引导。
12．D【解析】考查时态。since 引导的时间状语从句用一般过去时，其主句应用现在完成时，
所以选择D 项。句意：他的第一本小说自从上个月出版之后就很受欢迎。
13．C【解析】考查冠词。句意：众所周知，中华人民共和国是世界上最大的发展中国家。
第一空处，由普通名词构成的专有名词前面要用定冠词；第二空处，最高级前应使用定
冠词。故选C 项。
14．D【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：在飞机起飞前一个小时Claire 把行李进行了安检。
check 与luggage 之间是动宾关系，所以应用过去分词形式表示被动概念，构成have+
宾语+过去分词结构，表示"使……被……"。
15．D【解析】考查表语从句。句意：我想自己做生意——那是我如果有钱就会做的事情。
从句中的do 是及物动词，缺少宾语，所以将A 和B 排除，这两个选项在从句中常常作
状语。which 引导名词性从句时，意为"哪个，哪些"，不合逻辑，故用what。
16．C【解析】考查不定代词。"亲爱的，从厨房给我拿一块巧克力来好吗?""还要一块?"other
后面应该接不可数名词或复数名词(前面出现the 或any，其后可接单数可数名词)。every
one"每一个"，不合逻辑。D 项应该写成one more"再一个，又一个"。
17．B【解析】考查同级比较及其修饰词语的位置关系。英语中，如果比较级有自己的修饰
词语，其位置关系应该是：修饰词语(数量词或副词)+as(so)．．．as．．．或修饰词语+比较
级。
18．A【解析】考查情景对话。"杰克，你的情绪似乎很高呀。""你猜怎么着?我们这场球赛
4 比0 获胜了。"so what?"那又如何?与我又有何相干?"， no wonder"难怪"， no doubt"
毫无疑问"均不合逻辑。
19．B【解析】考查状语从句。句意：虽然他们都是很强的候选人，但是只有一人能被选来
担任这一职务。根据句意应该选B，while"虽然"引导让步状语从句。
20．A【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：中国又建了一些高速公路，这使得人们从一个地方
到另外一个地方旅行更加容易了。making 是现在分词，在句中作结果状语。不定式表
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
示偶然性很强或意想不到的结果，所以C 项不合逻辑。
21．D【解析】考查情景对话。"我们可以让你搭我们的车进城。""那可太好了。谢谢你们。
"A 和C 项是一般疑问句的答语。why not 用于同意对方的提议。B 项意为"我很乐意"，
用于答应对方的请求。D 项中的that 指代上句中提到的搭便车进城。
22．A【解析】考查虚拟语气。英语中，without，with，or， otherwise 或under 等可构成委
婉虚拟语气，此时句中的谓语动词应用should/could/would+动词原形(与现在或将来事
实相反)或should/could/would+have+过去分词(与过去事实相反)。据此可知A 项当选。
句意：假如当时没有您慷慨相助，我就不会度过那段艰难的时期。
23．C【解析】考查强调句型。it is．．．that…是强调句型，被强调部分是not how much we do
but how much love we put into what we do。句意：给我们工作带来最大益处的不是我们
做了多少而是我们将多少爱投入到我们所从事的事业中。
24．D【解析】考查情态动词。"妈妈，给我讲个故事好吗?""好的，如果你尽快上床睡觉我
就给你讲一个。"shall 用于陈述句中的第二、第三人称，表示说话人的意图、允诺、警
告、命令、决心等，意为"必须，应，可"。
25．C【解析】考查动词短语。句意：有些昆虫为了自我保护会随着周围环境改变自身颜色。
take on a ．．．colour"呈现……颜色"。take in(吸收，欺骗)， take off(脱衣，起飞，成功)
和 take out(掏出，取出)均不合题意。
26．D【解析】前半句中的there was great poverty(贫困)正好与D 项problems"困难"相对应，
此处意为"只有富人能够维持下去而没有太大的困难"。
27．B【解析】其中有三位富人和他们的仆人一起赶路来到了一个村庄。came to 给我们提
示，空白处应该填入一个动态的动词，故用travelling。
28．B【解析】上文提到过great poverty，所以此处应该填poor。faraway"遥远的"，不等于
就是贫困的，与上文不符。
29．C【解析】前面说第一位富人不能忍受看到这种贫困，该空后面说他取出所有的金银财
宝分给村民。由此不难看出前后是因果关系，故用so。
30．A【解析】此处用them 代替前文的all the gold and jewels。
31．B【解析】该空后面的situation 指的是29 空前的the poverty，贫困应该是"令人忧虑的"
而不是"好奇的""危险的"或"令人迷惑不解的"。
32．A【解析】第二位富人不忍心看到这种情形，停了一会儿之后他把所有食物和饮料都给
了村民(the villagers)。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
33．A【解析】 could 表示能力，意为"能够"，符合语境。might 表可能性，意为"或许，可
能"，用于表示把握性不大的推测；should"应该"；must"必须"，均不合逻辑。
34．C【解析】他知道钱对于他们来说几乎没有用。be of little use to．．．"对于……几乎没有
用"。
35．D 【解析】receive 与前文的give 相对应，即他确保他们每个人都公平地"收到"他们应
得的那份。
36．B【解析】会有足够的食物维持一段时间。
37．D【解析】第三位富人一看到这种贫困的情形，加快了步伐径直穿过而没有停下来。该
空后面的went through 和without stopping 是提示。
38．A【解析】第三位富人径直穿过村庄没有停下来。
39．B【解析】前两位富人评论第三位富人缺乏同情心。how 引导宾语从句，意为"如何……
多么……"。
40．A【解析】该空后面的they themselves 指的是前文的the two other rich men，根据前文可
知，另外两位富人认为第三位富人缺乏同情心，而他们提供帮助当然是"好的"。
41．B【解析】根据该空后面的宾语the third rich man 和上下文可知，此处应该填met，即
三天之后他们遇到了第三位富人。
42．A【解析】再次见到第三位富人时，他"仍然"走得很快。quickly 与speed up 是相对应的。
43．B【解析】根据后文的now full of farming tools and．．．可知，原来装的the gold and valuables"
金子和有价值的东西"没有了，取而代之的是农具和种子，所以应选instead of "代替，
取代"。
44．C【解析】金子和有价值的东西是他原来一直携带"carry"着的。其他选项很显然不合题
意。
45．D 【解析】and 这个并列连词前面是farming tools，所以此空应该是与农耕有关的词语，
据此可知，答案应选D，seeds"种子"。
46．C【解析】细节理解题。解此题的关键是要注意小标题。此题问题部分是：如果你想要
买票省钱而加入Live Card，你可以拨打哪个电话号码?这与Save pounds on ticket NOW!
部分的内容相对应。根据这部分的Call 0844 499 6699 可知答案，即要想成为会员享受
优惠，可以拨打0844 499 6699。
47．D【解析】细节理解题。答案可以从By Post 一栏中找出，即通过邮购，你必须提供个
人信用卡信息(your credit card details)，故选D 项。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
48．A【解析】细节理解题。从Get it Together!一栏中的第二段第二句话可知答案：团体预
订者可以享受先预订后付款的优惠。
49．B【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容可知，Irene 在第一次世界大战爆发后去帮
助母亲利用X 光设备救治伤员，后来在法国和比利时的部队医院继续研发X 光设备，
因此而获得军功勋章(Military Medal)。
50．A【解析】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段内容可知，Irene 于1918 年在Curie Institute(居
里学院)给母亲当助教，1924 年她丈夫Frederic Joliot 加入该学院，故答案为A。
51．A【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的最后一句话可知，Irene Curie 和Frederic Joliot
的女儿是在1927 年出生的，5 年之后儿子Pierre 出生(1927+5=1932)。
52．C【解析】细节归纳题。根据第一段中的and the first person to win it twice 可知，居里夫
人获得过两次诺贝尔奖。再根据最后一段可知，Irene 在1935 年和她的丈夫一起荣获诺

第三节 书面表达
【范文赏读】
Hi，TigerMom，
What puzzles you is actually a puzzle for many parents in China． My idea is that it is not
quite right for you to do so．
Although high grades are an important factor in evaluating students and for their future
university admission， development in wisdom， emotion， health， and life attitude should never
be ignored． There are many examples around us． Some all-A students in school have turned out
not to be as successful in society as they were expected． The reason is often that the pressure
from their parents allows them almost no time for other activities． Furthermore， punishment is
by no means a wise choice to help them grow up mentally and physically．
So I suggest that you take your friends’ advice． More importantly， let her live like a lovely
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
girl； let her have more friends and social activities； and let her make mistakes of her own as we
teenagers often do．

How would you like to wear the same underwear (内衣裤) for weeks? Owing to the work
that has gone into developing intelligent materials ，this may not be as 41 as it
sounds．Self-cleaning clothes have now been created，and these new materials provide 42
resistance to dirt as well as water． As a result， they require much less cleaning than traditional
materials．
The creation of self-cleaning clothes provides an example of how nature helps scientists
develop better products． This self-cleaning nature is known as the "lotus effect"． The name
comes， of course， from the lotus leaves， which are famous for growing in muddy lakes and
rivers while remaining almost 43 clean． By observing nature， scientists are 44
the qualities of the lotus leaves to the materials they have engineered． Because of this， some
remarkable new products have been 45 ． Among them are special windows that are
resistant to dirt and water． A special 46 on these windows not only prevents dirt from
sticking to their surfaces， but also allows dust to be easily washed off by the rain． In fact， these
new windows have already been 47 to some cars． Even when traveling at high speed
through rain， these cars never have to use their windshield wipers (雨刮器)．
Although we have already seen some practical applications，even more dramatic 48 will
be made in the future， and they will， perhaps， change our world completely． Undoubtedly，
technology is an important development， and it will have an even bigger 49 on our lives．
Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions：For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A，B，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C and D．Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context．
Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住)
customers． It sounds simple and achievable． But， 50 ， words of wisdom are soon
forgotten． Once companies have attracted customers they often 51 the second half of
the story． In the excitement of beating off the competition， negotiating prices， securing orders，
and delivering the product， managers tend to become carried away． They forget what they
regard as the boring side of business — 52 that the customer remains a customer．
53 to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs businesses
huge amounts of money annually． It has been estimated that the average company loses between
10 and 30 percent of its customers every year． In constantly changing 54 ， this is not
surprising． What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers
they have lost．
Only now are organisations beginning to wake up to these lost opportunities and calculate the
55 implications．Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big
56 in its performance． Research in the US found that a five percent decrease in the number
of defecting (流失的) customers led to 57 increases of between 25 and 85 percent．
In the US， Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5，000
over ten years． A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and
58 never returns， is losing the company thousands of dollars in 59 profits (more if
you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience)．
The logic behind cultivating customer 60 is impossible to deny． "In practice most
companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers，with little attention paid to 61
them"， says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’s School of Management． "Research suggests
that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits． 62
customers tend to buy more， are predictable and usually cost less to service than new
customers． Furthermore， they tend to be less price 63 ， and may provide free
word-of-mouth advertising． Retaining customers also makes it 64 for competitors
to enter a market or increase their share of a market．"

B．in reality

D．first of all

Section B
Directions：Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D．Choose the
one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read．
A
The teacher who did the most to encourage me was， as it happens， my aunt． She was
Myrtle C． Manigault， the wife of my mother’s brother Bill． She taught me in second grade at
all-black Sumner School in Camden， New Jersey．
During my childhood and youth， Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my
potential， without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females． I liked
to sing； she listened to my voice and pronounced it good． I couldn’t dance； she taught me the
basic dancing steps． She took me to the theatre — not just children’s theatre but adult comedies
and dramas — and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed．
My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me． I had
books at home， but they were all serious classics． Even as a child I had a strong liking for
humour， and I’ll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis’s Archy & Mehitabel through
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
her．
Most important， perhaps， Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for
publication． A writer herself for one of the black newspapers， she suggested my name to the
editor as a "youth columnist"． My column， begun when I was fourteen， was supposed to cover
teenage social activities — and it did — but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other
subjects as well as the habit of gathering material， the discipline of meeting deadlines， and，
after graduation from college six years later， a solid collection of published material that carried
my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs．
Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her "favourite niece"． Like a diamond，
she has reflected a bright， multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has
crossed her path．
65．Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?
A．She lent her some serious classics．
B．She cultivated her taste for music．
C．She discovered her talent for dancing．
D．She introduced her to adult plays．
66．What does Archy & Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A．A book of great fun． B．A writer of high fame．
C．A serious masterpiece． D．A heartbreaking play．
67．Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to ．
A．develop her capabilities for writing
B．give her a chance to collect material
C．involve her in teenage social activities
D．offer her a series of writing jobs
68．We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who ．
A．trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined
B．gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potential
C．emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils
D．helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning
B

Humpback whales
69．According to Quick Facts， a humpback whale ．
A．cannot survive in waters near the shore
B．doesn’t live in the same waters all the time
C．lives mainly on underwater plants
D．prefers to work alone when hunting food
70．To make a breach， a humpback whale must ．
A．use its tail flukes to leap out of the water
B．twist its body sideways to jump high
C．blow two streams of water
D．communicate with a group of humpbacks
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
71．From the passage we can learn that a humpback whale ．
A．has its unique markings on its tail flukes
B．has black and white fingerprints
C．gets its name from the way it hunts
D．is a great performer due to its songs
C
Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that
threatens research into the history of humans in Britain， a group of leading archaeologists (考古
学家) says． In a letter addressed to the justice secretary， Ken Clarke， 40 archaeologists write
of their "deep and widespread concern" about the issue． It centers on the law introduced by the
Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to
be reburied within two years， regardless of their age． The decision means scientists have too
little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance．
"Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be
reburied， whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension， is contrary to
basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice，" they write．
The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites， including the
remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3 ，000
BC． Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time， but
eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground．
The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh
in Norfolk， where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans
950，000 years ago． If human remains were found at Happisburgh， they would be the oldest in
northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was． Under the current practice of
the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed．
Before 2008， guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient
age and historical interest， while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains． The
Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary， but has so
far failed to revise it．
Mike Parker Pearson， an archaeologist at Sheffield University， said： "Archaeologists have
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem，
but we feel that we cannot wait any longer．"
The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied， or on what
records should be kept．
72．According to the passage， scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because ．
A．it is only a temporary measure on the human remains
B．it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific research
C．it was introduced by the government without their knowledge
D．it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains
73．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time．
B．Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh．
C．Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time．
D．Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed．
74．What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains?
A．The Ministry of Justice did not intend it to protect human remains．
B．The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857．
C．The law on human remains hasn’t changed in recent decades．
D．The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law．
75．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．New discoveries should be reburied， the government demands
B．Research time should be extended， scientists require
C．Law on human remains needs thorough discussion， authorities say
D．Law could bury ancient secrets for ever， archaeologists warn
Section C
Directions：Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each
paragraph．There is one extra heading which you do not need．
A．Manufacturing industry in information economy
B．News in the age of information
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．Argument about individual accounts and their reliability
D．Be your own investigative journalist
E．Don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers
F．Information is presented in an entertaining way
76．
With the arrival of the age of "information economy"， intellectual work is becoming a more
important source of wealth than manufacturing． Organisations in all walks of life are doing more
to spread their information． So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them． A lot
of our news is actually collected from press releases and reports of events intentionally staged for
journalists． In the information age， journalists spend their time， not investigating， but passing
on the words of a spokesperson．
77．
There is a joke in the novel Scoop about the newspaper’s owner， Lord Copper． The editors
can never disagree with him． When he’s right about something they answer "definitely"， and
when he’s wrong they say "to some extent， Lord Copper"． It seems reasonable to suppose that，
in the real world， the opinions of such powerful people still influence the journalists and editors
who work for them．
78．
In countries where the news is not officially controlled， it may be provided by commercial
organisations who depend on advertising． The news has to attract viewers and maintain its
audience ratings． I suspect that some stories get air-time just because there happen to be exciting
pictures to show． In Britain， we have the tabloid newspapers which millions of people read
simply for entertainment． There is progressively less room for historical background， or
statistics， which are harder to present as a sensational story．
79．
There is an argument that with spreading access to the internet and cheap technology for
recording sound and images we will all be able to find exactly the information we want． People
around the world will be able to publish their own eye-witness accounts and compete with the
widely-accepted news-gatherers on equal terms． But what it will mean also is that we’ll be
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
subjected to a still greater amount of nonsense and lies． Any web log may contain the latest
information of the year， or equally， a made-up story that you will never be able to check．
80．
Maybe the time has come to do something about it， and I don’t just mean changing your
choice of TV channel or newspaper． In a world where everyone wants you to listen to their
version， you only have two choices： switch off altogether or start looking for sources you can
trust． The investigative journalist of the future is everyone who wants to know the truth．
Section D
Directions：Read the passage carefully．Then answer the questions or complete the statements in
the fewest possible words．
Sociologists have long recognised that organisations of less than 200 individuals can operate
through the free flow of information among the members． Once their size goes beyond this figure，
the organisations are getting less flexible． So it seems necessary to prevent total disorder
resulting from failures of communication．
One solution to this problem would， of course， be to structure large organisations into
smaller units of a size that can act as a group． By allowing these groups to build reliance on each
other， larger organisations can be built up． However， merely having groups of， say， 150
will never of itself be a complete solution to the problems of the organisation． Something else is
needed： the people involved must be able to build direct personal relationships． To allow free
flow of information， they have to be able to communicate with each other in a casual
way． Maintaining too formal a structure of relationships inevitably prevents the way a system
works．
The importance of this was drawn to my attention two years ago by the case of a TV
station． Whether by chance or by design， it so happened that there were almost exactly 150
people in the station． The whole process worked very smoothly as an organisation for many years
until they were moved into purpose-built accommodation． Then， for no apparent reason， the
work seemed to be more difficult to do， not to say less satisfying．
It was some time before they worked out what the problem was． It turned out that， when
the architects were designing the new building， they decided that the coffee room where
everyone ate their sandwiches at lunch times was an unnecessary luxury and so did away with
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
it． And with that， they accidentally destroyed the close social networks that strengthened the
whole organisation． What had apparently been happening was that， as people gathered
informally over their sandwiches in the coffee room， useful information was casually being
exchanged．
(Note： Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT
WORDS．)
81．What size of an organisation may lead to communication failures?

了一杯咖啡后，又点了一杯。根据题意可知，此处表示不定数量中的一个，故another"
另一个，再一个"正确。
27．B【解析】考查固定句型。It’s no use doing sth．意为"做某事是没用的"，是固定结构，
其中动名词短语作真正的主语，it 作形式主语。句意：光抱怨而不采取行动是没有用的。
28．D【解析】考查情态动词。句意：我没有必要担心周末——我总是在周末来临之前就做
好了安排。根据题意可看出此处表示没有必要，故用needn’t。can’t"不能"；mustn’t"禁
止"；daren’t"不敢"。
29．C【解析】句意：当妈妈回顾他们刚结婚的那段日子时，她很奇怪当时是如何用那么少
的钱走过来的。首先，few 修饰可数名词，故排除A、B 两项；当名词前有many，few，
much，little 修饰时，只能用so 而不能用such，这是一种固定用法。故C 项正确。
30．B【解析】考查反意疑问句。句意：如果他们想来参加你的晚会，这没关系，是吗?如
果陈述句部分是主从复合句，反意疑问部分要与主句保持一致。此处主句部分是否定形
式，故反意疑问部分应用肯定形式；又因主语是单数it，故B 项正确。
31．B【解析】考查时态和语态。句意：在一场暴风雨中失踪了四天后，一名海军成员被拯
救了。句中有明显的过去时间状语four days later"四天后"，故本句用一般过去时；又因
主语a member of the navy team和rescue之间是动宾关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态，
故B 项正确。
32．A【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：这条从烹饪器里被救的稀有的鱼已经被放回了大海。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
因fish 和save 之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰主语The
rare fish，即A 项正确。
33．C【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：我一度下定决心要和Sam 叔叔讲讲。但是后来改变
了主意，因为我意识到他也帮不上什么忙。主语I 和realize 为逻辑上的主谓关系，故
用现在分词短语作原因状语，即C 项正确。
34．A【解析】考查动词时态。句意：你预料到有很多学生将会报名参加那场舞蹈大赛了吗?
根据Did 可知本句是一般过去时，再结合句意可知此处表示从过去的某一时间来看将来
要发生的动作或存在的状态，故用过去将来时。
35．D【解析】考查同位语从句。句意：有清楚的证据表明，在所有的情感中，最难以解释
的是肉体上的痛苦。分析句子成分可知，" the most difficult feeling of all to
interpret is bodily pain"是从句，修饰名词evidence，而该从句不缺少任何成分，故用that
引导。
36．D【解析】考查连词。句意：如果很多人说一部电影不好看，我就不会去看，或者等到
DVD 出来才看。根据句意可知此处用until"直到……才……"引导时间状语从句。
37．C【解析】考查连词。句意：为了让我们有一个安全的生活环境，我们市的警察工作很
努力。根据句意可知此处用in order that 引导目的状语从句。in case 意为"以免，万一"，
as if 意为"好像"，only if 意为"只有"，都不符合句意。
38．D【解析】考查名词性从句。句意：你想通过言语表达的信息也许恰好与别人实际理解
的内容相反。分析句子结构后可知，" others actually understand"是宾语从句，
作介词of 的宾语。从句中understand 后缺少宾语，故用what 引导。
39．A【解析】考查定语从句。句意：你在公交车站会找到的士。在那里，你可以叫车带你
去寄宿家庭。分析句子结构可知，" you can hire to reach your host family"是定语
从句，修饰先行词taxis，从句中谓语动词hire 后缺少宾语，故用which 或that 引导，
且都可以省略。选项中只有A 项正确。
40．B【解析】考查动词seem 的用法。seem 后接动词不定式构成seem to 结构，故首先排
除A、D 两项。再结合语境可知此处描写的是我们目前的状况，故用动词不定式的进行
时表示目前正在发生的事情或所处的状态，即B 项正确。
41．B【解析】从句子结构可看出，该空需要填一个形容词作表语，再根据下文可推断此处
表示"因为智能材料的研发，内衣裤穿几周也可能听起来并不是那么讨厌(unpleasant)"。
42．I【解析】从句子结构可看出，该空需要填一个形容词修饰名词resistance，故只能用I
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
项superior。此处表示"这种新型材料有较好的抗污和防水能力"。
43．H【解析】从句子结构可看出，该空需要一个副词来修饰后面的形容词clean，故应在D、
H 这两项里选择。再结合语意"荷叶尽管长在有污泥的江河湖泊里，但仍然出奇的干净"
可知选miraculously"神奇地，非凡地"。
44．C【解析】通过观察自然，科学家们正在把这种荷叶的特性应用到他们已经研发的材料
中。apply．．．to"把……应用于……"，是固定短语，此处用v-ing 形式。
45．A【解析】从句子结构可看出，该空需要填一个过去分词。再结合语意"一些新产品已
经上市了"可知launched"(首次)上市，发行"正确。
46．F【解析】从句子结构可看出，该空需要填一个名词。根据语意"窗户上的一种特殊的涂
层不但能够防止脏东西粘附在其表面上"可推断coating"涂层"正确。
47．G【解析】从句子结构可看出，该空需要填一个过去分词。根据语境可知此处表示"已
经安装到一些汽车上了"，故fixed 正确。
48．J【解析】从句子结构可看出，该空需要填一个名词。根据语意"将来会取得更大的进步
"可知advances"进步"正确。
49．E【解析】从句子结构可看出，该空需要填一个名词。have an impact on"对……有影响"。
50．B【解析】每个做生意的人都被告知成功就是吸引和留住顾客。这听起来似乎简单，切
实可行。但是，事实上，语言的智慧很容易被忘记。根据转折词But 和前后的语意关系
可知此处用in reality "事实上"。in particular"尤其，特别地"；at least"至少"；first of all"
首先"。
51．C【解析】一旦公司吸引住了顾客，他们就又常忽视留住顾客这一环节。根据语境可知
选C 项overlook "忽视"。emphasize 意为"强调"；doubt 意为"怀疑"；believe 意为"相信"。
52．B【解析】他们忘了生意中被他们看作是单调的一面——确保顾客成为长久的顾客。ensure
"确保"；deny 意为"拒绝"；argue 意为"争吵"；prove 意为"证明"。
53．D【解析】从下文可知"没有留住顾客或没吸引住顾客会让公司每年花大笔的钱"，故选
D 项。
54．A【解析】根据上文的"每年有10%到30%的顾客流失"可知，在变幻无常的市场中，这
也是不足为奇的，故此处A 项markets"市场"正确。taste 意为"口味"；price 意为"价格"；
expense 意为"代价，消费"。
55．C【解析】直到现在，公司才认识到那些失去的机会并开始估算它对财政方面的影响。
financial 意为"金融的，财政的"，符合语境。culture 意为"文化的"；social 意为"社会的"；
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
economical 意为"经济的，节约的"。
56．D【解析】减少公司里流失的顾客的数量会对公司的业绩有很大的影响。make a difference
有影响，为固定短语。
57．C【解析】顾客少流失5%，利润可增加25%至85%。根据上文可知，顾客的数量与公
司的收益是成正比的。profit 意为"利润，收益"，符合语境。cost 意为"成本"；opportunity
意为"机会"；budget 意为"预算，经费"。
58．A【解析】根据上下文语境，"顾客第一次买的产品质量不好或服务态度不好"，必然会
导致"顾客不会再消费第二次"的结果，故A 项as a result"结果" 正确。on the whole 意为
"总的来说"；in conclusion 意为"最后"；on the contrary 意为"相反"。
59．B【解析】根据语境可知顾客不来消费了，公司也就会损失上万美元的潜在的利润，即
B 项potential "潜在的"正确。huge 意为"巨大的"；extra 意为"额外的"；reasonable 意为"
合情合理的"。
60．B【解析】培养忠实顾客的逻辑不容否认。loyalty 意为"忠诚"，符合语境。belief 意为"
信仰"；habit 意为"习惯"；interest 意为"利益"。
61．C【解析】alter 意为"改变"；understand 意为"理解"；keep 意为"保持，保留"；attract 意
为"吸引"。根据上下文语境可知，此处表示的是"很少关注留住顾客"，故C 项正确。
62．C【解析】只有已建立关系的顾客才会买更多的东西，为公司带来更多的收益。Established
意为"已建立的"，符合题意。Assumed 意为"假定的"；Respected 意为"受尊敬的"；
Unexpected 意为"意外的"。
63．D【解析】agreeable 意为"欣然同意的"；flexible 意为"灵活的"；friendly 意为"友好的"；
sensitive 意为"敏感的"。根据语意"老客户对价格不是很敏感"可知D 项正确。
64．B【解析】留住顾客也会让竞争对手很难进入市场。故B 项difficult"困难的"正确。unfair
意为"不公平的"；essential 意为"基本的"；convenient 意为"方便的"。
65．D【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，舅妈不仅仅带我去儿童电影院，还
去看成年人的喜剧片，故D 项正确。从第三段前两句可知A 项错误；从第二段第三、
四句可知B 项和C 项错误。
66．A【解析】细节推断题。第三段的内容说的是作者对书的接触，该段最后一句说"我"永
远不会忘记发现Archy & Mehitabel 的乐趣，故可推知Archy & Mehitabel 是指一本有趣
的书，即A 项正确。
67．A【解析】细节理解题。从第四段首句"Most important， perhaps， Aunt Myrtle provided
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
my first opportunity to write for publication．"可知，Aunt Myrtle 把作者推荐给报社编辑
主要是为了开发作者的写作才能，故A 项正确。
68．B【解析】推理判断题。从整个语篇可以看出，Aunt Myrtle 善于根据学生的个性特点，
因材施教，鼓励学生开发自身的潜能。故B 项正确。
69．B【解析】细节理解题。从表格中Living environment 对应的内容"Open ocean and shallow
coastline waters"和Migration 一栏对应的内容"From warm tropical (热带的) waters，
where they breed， to cold polar waters， where they eat．"可知，驼背鲸不总是生活在同
一片水域，即B 项正确。
70．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第二句"During breaching the whale uses its powerful tail
flukes to lift nearly two-thirds of its body out of the water in a giant leap．"可知，A 项正确。
71．A【解析】细节推断题。从倒数第二段最后两句的内容可知，驼背鲸在尾部两侧有独特
的斑点，故A 项正确。
72．B【解析】细节理解题。从第一段首句"Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied
and lost to science．．．"和末句"The decision means scientists have too little time to study
bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance．"可知按照这部法律，
发掘的古代人类遗骸将被重新埋葬。这会对科学研究造成负面影响，考古学家对此感到
十分担忧。故B 项正确。
73．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，尽管考古的时间延长了，但那些古
人类遗骸最终还是需要重新埋葬，故C 项正确。
74．D【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段最后一句以及最后一段可知英国司法部对这部
法律的制定不够完善，也未如约修订，故D 项正确。
75．D【解析】主旨归纳题。文章主要讲述的是英国制定了一部不十分完善的法律，规定所
有的古代人类遗骸将被重新埋葬，这将对考古带来巨大损失和影响。科学家们对此感到
十分担忧，给政府提出了警告。故D 项作为本文标题最合适。

Section B
Blank 11-13 are based on the following Passage．
The Common Wealth is a group of 54 countries． The member states all use English as a
common working language and have similar legal and education systems， but represent nearly
every religion， race and political system on the planet． The Common Wealth is active in a huge
number of areas such as health and economics． The heads of government meeting is held every
two years where the leaders of the member states get together to discuss current issues． Common
Wealth Day is held in the second week of March every year when Common Wealth’s citizens，
particularly children， have a chance to celebrate their friendship． The Common Wealth also
holds sporting and arts events． There is an annual writer’s price and a yearly arts and crafts
competition． Perhaps the most well-known event sponsored by organization is the Common
Wealth games， which is held every four years in one of the member countries． The games have
gained another name ， the friendly games because of their reputation for good-natured
competitiveness．
Questions：
11. What do the member states of the Common Wealth have in common?
12. What do people do on Common Wealth Day according to the passage?
13. What is the passage mainly about?
Blank 14-16 are based on the following speech．
There is a popular belief that a college education is something to be endured in order to
become qualified to obtain certain kinds of jobs or to go to graduate school． This is not what we
are trying to do at Harvard． The most obvious goal of a college educationer is to give knowledge，
but it is far from the most important． Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in
your memory for many years， and some of those that do might be proved false by new
knowledge． At Harvard， we have looked to other things we can give that will last a little
longer． Among these things are certain habits of mind， such as the ability to have more critical
analysis， to make more accurate and logical use of information and so forth． In addition to these
habits of thought， it is our hope that we can help you develop certain attitudes of mind like a
willingness to accept uncertainty and the lack of definite truth． Beyond providing these qualities，
a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of leisure time which can be
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
cultivated in the classroom． Yet， the cultivation of this ability will also occur outside of the
classroom． For example， on sports fields， in music rooms， and so on．
Questions：
14. Which of the following is regarded as the most important at Harvard?
15. Which quality mentioned below can be cultivated both inside and outside the classroom?
16. What is the speech mainly about?
Section C
Blank 17-20 are based on the following conversation．
W： Good morning! Green Sense． Can I help you?
M： Hello， my name is Mary White and I want to complain about a sea food restaurant．
W： OK， can I take down your telephone number?
M： My phone number is 655038．
W： Good! So what would you like to complain about?
M： Actually two things． First， the restaurant dumps its rubbish on the street and you can
imagine what that attracts—rats!
W： Right! I’ve got that! And the second problem?
M： The restaurant doesn’t put bottles and cans in recycling bins． It’s not responsible．
W： Got it! What’s the address of the sea food restaurant?
M： It’s 449 Shanghai Street．
W： OK! We’ll look into it and call you back．
M： Thank you． Goodbye!
Complete the form． Write ONE WORD for each answer．
Blank 21-24 are based on the following conversation．
W： What’s the article about?
M： It’s basically about memory． And it says you’ve got three memories： short term， medium
term and long term．
W： Um…
M： They say that short term memory lasts only a few seconds． So you just sort of read
something and you remember the beginning of the sentence just until you get to the end of
the sentence．
W： Um…
M： And then medium term memory． The example they give is something like trying to
remember that you’ve got to buy bread．
W： Like a sort of a shopping list of things to do?
M： Yeah! After you buy bread， you don’t need to store that memory． So it’s erased．
W： Just sort of a day-to-day management．
M： Eh…then long-term memory． They are talking about the major events that happen in your
life such as your wedding．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
W： And you never forget them．
M： Yeah…I suppose so． Permanent memory．

第一节 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。(共20
小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
A
It’s 5：00 in the morning when the alarm(闹钟)rings in my ears． I roll out of bed and walk
blindly through the dark into the bathroom． I turn on the light and put on my glasses．The house
is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully． Usually I go for a
long run， but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD，Insanity．Sweat pours down my face and
into my eyes．My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement．As I near the end of the
exercise， I feel extremely tired，but a smile is on my face．It’s not a smile because the DVD is
over，but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit．
Some people enjoy shopping，smoking，food，work，or even chocolate．But I need exercise
to get through each day． Some shake heads when they see me run through the town．Others get
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake．They raise their
eyebrows，surprised by my "no thank you，"or by my choice to have a salad．Over the years， I
have learned it’s okay to just say "no．" I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to
eat．
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5：00 a．m．? What gives me the reason to just say no
to ice cream?Commitment．A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety，
increases self-confidence and energy，extends life and above all improves my body shape．This is
the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite
pair of jeans that now fit just right．It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a
difference within myself inside and out．
41．Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning?
A．Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully．

Exploit your parking space
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
An unused parking space or garage can make money．If you live near a city center or an
airport，you could make anything up to ￡200 or ￡300 a week．Put an advertisement(广告) for
free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark．
Rent (出租) a room
Spare room?Not only will a lodger (房客)earn you an income， but also， thanks to the
government-backed "rent a room" program，you won’t have to pay any tax on the first ￡4500
you make per year． Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy．
Make money during special events
Don’t want a full-time lodger?Then rent on a short-term basis．If you live in the capital，
renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money．Grashpadder
can advertise your space．
Live on set
Renting your home out as a "film set" could earn you hundreds of pounds a day， depending
on the film production company and how long your home is needed．A quick search on the
Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free —
but you will be charged if your home gets picked．
Use your roof
You need the right kind of roof，but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar
equipment (around ￡14，000) and let you use the energy produced for nothing．In return，they get
paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid．However，you have to sign a 25-year
agreement with the supplier，which could prevent you from changing the roof．

The multi-million pound new Library of Birmingham(LoB) will be the most visible sign of
the way the city is accepting the digitalization (数字化) of everyday life．
Set to open in 2013，the ￡188m LoB is already beginning to take shape next to the
Birmingham Repertory Theatre，with which it will share some equipment．
As digital media(媒介) is important to its idea， the project is already providing chances for
some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies．
Brian Gambles， the LoB project director，says it is about giving people the right tools for
learning："The aim is to mix the physical with the digital， providing 24-hour services which can
be used through many different ways． It is important to enable us to reach more people，more
effectively．"
The digital library will，he says，be as important as the physical one，allowing the distant use
of the services， making sure that it is never closed to the public．
Even before the LoB is complete，the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual(虚
拟的) LoB，designed by Baden，the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists．Not only have the
public been able to learn about the LoB， but the virtual one has also enabled those working on
the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens．
Two other small Birmingham-based digital companies are also working on the LoB
projects．Substrat，a digital design company， is developing what it calls an example of an
"enlarged reality" project．It is about the use of an exciting smart phone，an important part of the
LoB which is in the early stages of development． And The People’s Archive is an online library
of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in Cahoots，in which
users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material．
Gambles says："Technology will enable us to make the library’s content and services open to
citizens as never before．"

"Experience may possibly be the best teacher， but it is not a particularly good teacher．" You
might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words， but they actually
come from James March， a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of
organizational decision making．For years March (possibly the wisest philosopher of management)
has studied how humans think and act， and he continues to do so in his new book The
Ambiguities of Experience．
He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of
experiential learning："Experience is respected；experience is sought；experience is explained．"
The problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及)serious complications(复杂化)，ones
that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book．
In one interesting part of the book，for example，he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
stories as the most effective way of experiential learning．In our efforts to make stories interesting，
he argues，we lose part of the complicated truth of things． He says "The more accurately(精确
地 ) reality is presented， the less understandable the story， and the more understandable the
story， the less realistic it is．"
Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher，March is also a poet， and his gift shines
through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses．Though the book is short，
it is demanding：Don’t pick it up looking for quick， easy lessons． Rather， be ready to think
deeply about learning from experience in work and life．
53．According to the text， James March is ．
A．a poet who uses experience in his writing
B．a teacher who teaches story writing in university
C．a researcher who studies the way humans think and act
D．a professor who helps organizations make important decisions
54．According to James March，experience ．
A．is overvalued B．is easy to explain
C．should be actively sought D．should be highly respected
55．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A．Experience makes stories more accurate．
B．Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth．
C．The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning．
D．Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described．
56．What’s the purpose of this text?
A．To introduce a book．
B．To describe a researcher．
C．To explain experiential learning．
D．To discuss organizational decision making．
E
In business，there’s a speed difference：It’s the difference between how important a firm’s
leaders say speed is to their competitive(竞争的) strategy(策略) and how fast the company
actually moves ． The difference is important regardless of industry and company
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
size． Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money
looking for ways to pick up the speed．
In our study of 343 businesses， the companies that chose to go，go， go to try to gain an
edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to
make sure they were on the right track． What’s more， the firms that "slowed down to speed up"
improved their top and bottom lines， averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating
incomes over a three-year period．
How did they disobey the laws of business physics， taking more time than competitors yet
performing better?They thought differently about what "slower" and "faster" mean． Firms
sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and
strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value)．Simply increasing the speed of
production， for example， may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference． But that often
leads to reduced value over time， in the form of lower-quality products and services．
In our study， higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when
necessary． They became more open to ideas and discussion．They encouraged new ways of
thinking． And they allowed time to look back and learn．By contrast(相比而言)， performance
suffered at firms that moved fast all the time， paid too much attention to improving efficiency，
stuck to tested methods， didn’t develop team spirit among their employees， and had little time
thinking about changes．
Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership． Teams that regularly take time to get things
right， rather than plough ahead full bore， are more successful in meeting their business
goals． That kind of strategy must come from the top．
57．What does the underlined part "gain an edge" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Increase the speed． B．Get an advantage．
C．Reach the limit． D．Set a goal．
58．The underlined part "the laws of business physics" in Paragraph 3 means ．
A．spending more time and performing worse
B．spending more time and performing better
C．spending less time and performing worse
D．spending less time and performing better
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
59．What can we learn from the text?
A．How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is．
B．How competitive a firm is depends on what it produces．
C．Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes．
D．Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit．
60．Which could be the best title for the text?
A．Improve quality?Serve better．
B．Deliver value?Plough ahead．
C．Reduce time?Move faster．
D．Need speed?Slow down．

to reach the factory 修饰the first(man)。

After-class Activities
Nowadays， after-class activities are becoming more and more popular in high schools． In
our school， there are various kinds of activities， for example， arts and sports． We enjoy them
very much． Playing football and reading stories are my favorites which do me lots of
good． Besides building my body and enriching my know-ledge， they also free me from the
heavy work of study．
Here I have some suggestions． To students， you’d better choose the activities which
interest you and suit you； to schools， they should organize more activities for students and leave
students more time for activities by giving them less homework．
Dear friends， please actively take part in after-class activities， which will not only make

第二部分 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the
classroom and the experience of being part of a British home．
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals． Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed
at least once a week． You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and
advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health．
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2，3 and 4 of the transport system． Most hosts
do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住
的)． Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area． It is very
convenient to travel in London by Underground．
Meal Plans Available
◇Continental Breakfast
◇Breakfast and Dinner
◇Breakfast， Packed Lunch and Dinner
It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast． Your
accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice， cereal(谷
物类食品)， bread and tea or coffee． Cheese， fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a
Continental Breakfast in England． Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables
followed by dessert， fruit and coffee．
Friends
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit， you must first ask your host’s permission． You have
no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their
privacy．
Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a
main living room． This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more
suitable for the long-stay student． However， it does not provide the same family atmosphere as
an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as
much．
36．The passage is probably written for ．
A．hosts willing to receive foreign students
B．foreigners hoping to build British culture
C．travellers planning to visit families in London
D．English learners applying to live in English homes
37．Which of the following will the host provide?
A．Room cleaning． B．Medical care．
C．Free transport． D．Physical training．
38．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A．Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2．
B．The business centre of London is in Zone 1．
C．Hosts dislike travelling to the city centre．
D．Accommodation in the city centre is not provided．
39．According to the passage， what does Continental Breakfast include?
A．Dessert and coffee． B．Fruit and vegetables．
C．Bread and fruit juice． D．Cereal and cold meat．
40．Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?
A．To experience a warmer family atmosphere．
B．To enrich their knowledge of English．
C．To entertain friends as they like．
D．To enjoy much more freedom．

B
In the fall of 1985， I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University， aiming at a
legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere． Twenty-one years
later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell．
My grandma， an amazing woman， graduated from college at the age of 65． She was the
first in our family to reach that goal． But one year after I started college， she developed
cancer． I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her． It meant that school and my
personal dream would have to wait．
Then I got married with another dream： building my family with a combination of adopted
and biological children． In 1999， we adopted our first son． To lay eyes on him was fantastic —
and very emotional． A year later came our second adopted boy． Then followed son No．3． In
2003， I gave birth to another boy．
You can imagine how fully occupied I became， raising four boys under the age of 8! Our
home was a complete zoo — a joyous zoo． Not surprising， I never did make it back to college
full-time． But I never gave up on the dream either． I had only one choice： to find a way． That
meant taking as few as one class each semester．
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys． They often
wanted me to stay home with them． There certainly were times I wanted to quit， but I knew I
should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives．
In 2007， I graduated from the University of North Carolina． It took me over 21 years to get
my college degree!
I am not special， just single-minded． It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big
challenge from the outside it looks huge， but when you’re in the midst of it， it just seems
normal． Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day． It’s a process． Remember：
little steps add up to big dreams．
41．When the author went to Howard University， her dream was to be ．
A．a writer B．a teacher C．a judge D．a doctor
42．Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?
A．She wanted to study by herself．
B．She fell in love and got married．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．She suffered from a serious illness．
D．She decided to look after her grandma．
43．What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?
A．She was busy yet happy with her family life．
B．She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons．
C．She wanted to remain a full-time housewife．
D．She was too confused to make a correct choice．
44．What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A．Failure is the mother of success．
B．Little by little， one goes far．
C．Every coin has two sides．
D．Well begun， half done．
45．Which of the following can best describe the author?
A．Caring and determined．
B．Honest and responsible．
C．Ambitious and sensitive．
D．Innocent and single-minded．
C
An idea that started in Seattle’s public library has spread throughout America and
beyond． The concept is simple： help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone
to read the same book at the same time．
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求) to be enjoyed by all， the program
allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus， as well as promoting reading
as an experience to be shared in families and schools． The idea came from Seattle librarian
Nancy Pearl who launched (发起) the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book" project in
1998． Her original program used author visits， study guides and book discussion groups to bring
people together with a book， but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities， and
even to Hong Kong．
In Chicago， the mayor (市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a
Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book， One Chicago" program． As a result， reading
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city． Across the US， stories emerged of
parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about
plot and character．
The only problem arose in New York， where local readers could not decide on one book to
represent the huge and diverse population． This may show that the idea works best in
medium-sized cities or large towns， where a greater sense of unity (一致) can be achieved． Or it
may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point， putting all their energy and passion into the
choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself．
Ultimately， as Nancy points out， the level of success is not measured by how many people
read a book， but by how many people are enriched by the process， or have enjoyed speaking to
someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word．
46．What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?
A．To invite authors to guide readers．
B．To encourage people to read and share．
C．To involve people in community service．
D．To promote the friendship between cities．
47．Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?
A．They had little interest in reading．
B．They were too busy to read a book．
C．They came from many different backgrounds．
D．They lacked support from the local government．
48．According to the passage， where would the project be more easily carried out?
A．In large communities with little sense of unity．
B．In large cities where libraries are far from home．
C．In medium-sized cities with a diverse population．
D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached．
49．The underlined words "shared a word" in Paragraph 5 probably mean ．
A．exchanged ideas with each other
B．discussed the meaning of a word
C．gained life experience
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．used the same language
50．According to Nancy， the degree of success of the project is judged by ．
A．the careful selection of a proper book
B．the growing popularity of the writers
C．the number of people who benefit from reading
D．the number of books that each person reads
D
Blind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction． To those who do not recognize their unique worth，
imitation appears attractive； to those who know their strength， imitation is unacceptable．
In the early stages of skill or character development， imitation is helpful． When I first
learned to cook， I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes． But soon I grew
bored． Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role
models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle； they help you get going， but once you
find your own balance， you fly faster and farther without relying on them．
In daily life， imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role
models． If， as a child， you observed people whose lives were bad， you may have accepted
their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did． If you do not make strong
choices for yourself， you will get the results of the weak choices of others．
In the field of entertainment， our culture glorifies celebrities． Those stars look great on
screen． But when they step off screen， their personal lives may be disastrous． If you are going
to follow someone， focus on their talent， not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors．
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique． Think
of the movies， books， teachers， and friends that have affected you most deeply． They touched
you because their creations were motivated by inspiration， not desperation． The world is
changed not by those who do what has been done before them， but by those who do what has
been done inside them． Creative people have an endless resource of ideas． The problem a
creator faces is not running out of material； it is what to do with all the material knocking at the
door of imagination．
Study your role models， accept the gifts they have given， and leave behind what does not
serve you． Then you can say， "I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
victory， and know that they are cheering me on．"
51．Imitation proves useful when you ．
A．know you are unique
B．lose the balance of life
C．begin to learn something new
D．get tired of routine practice
52．To avoid the bad result of imitation， we should ．
A．forget daily fear and pain
B．choose the right example
C．ask others for decisions
D．stay away from stars
53．According to the author， the world moves on because of those who are ．
A．desperate to influence others with their knowledge
B．ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C．eager to discover what their ancestors did
D．willing to accept others’ ideas
54．The trouble a creator faces is ．
A．the lack of strong motivation
B．the absence of practical ideas
C．how to search for more materials
D．how to use imagination creatively
55．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A．To highlight the importance of creativity．
B．To criticize the characters of role models．
C．To compare imitation with creation．
D．To explain the meaning of success．

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
In college， Spring Break(春假) is usually associated with the beach， parties and sleepless
nights， bringing about relaxation， free time and friends． Students who wish to spend their
break doing something productive and rewarding， however， may choose to participate in the
Alternative Break Program． It places college students in communities both at home and abroad．
The Program allows students to take part in various projects dealing with issues such as
literacy (识字)， homelessness and the environment． It includes helping kids with their lessons，
raising money for families in need and collecting data for environmental research．
The hope is that， by getting themselves involved in different environments， students will
have the opportunity to learn about members of communities and broaden their view． In turn，
they will incorporate (融合) their experiences and lessons learned into their own communities． In
a word， the Program aims to encourage students to be active citizens and engage themselves in
making a difference in society．
In the spring of 2006， about 36，000 students in the USA participated in the Alternative
Break Program．
Samantha Giacobozzi， now director of the Program， has been on five alternative break
trips herself， including trips to New Orleans， India and the Dominican Republic． "I was a
student who went on alternative break trips and had my life totally transformed by that experience，
" she said． "Every year， we meet many students who have attended the Program． You can see
changes in their life that are connected with their alternative break experiences．"
The Program began in 1991． Today， it has become increasingly popular with college
students in the United States．

第二部分 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
第一节：阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
One evening in February 2007， a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a
remote road in Wales． She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path． That’s when she
heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train．Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
line． Seconds later，she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks．
Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(导航仪)．She had
never driven the route before． It was dark and raining heavily． Ceely was relying on her GPS，
but it made no mention of the crossing． "I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right
into the path of a speeding train，"she told the BBC．
Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson， who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines
Fail Us， points the finger at the limitations of technology． We put our faith in digital devices，
he says， but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job． They are filled with small
problems． And it’s not just GPS devices： Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters
involving everything from mobile phones to wireless key-boards．
The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on
digital technology， while there may be a number of other possible causes． A map-maker might
have left the crossing off a paper map． Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying
attention． Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signalling system． Or maybe
someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific
wrong with the GPS equipment． But Stevenson doesn’t say．
It’s a problem that runs through the book． In a section on cars， Stevenson gives an account
of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for
cars． He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft； both show a small rise in some parts
of the country． He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable． Perhaps， but
maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets ． Or changing social
circumstances． Or some combination of these factors．
The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex． It is shaped by
economics and psychology and the cultures we live in． Somewhere in the mix of those forces
there may be a way for a wiser use of technology．
If there is such a way， it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of
our machines． After all， we have lived with them for thousands of years． They have probably
been fooling us for just as long．
41．What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?
A．She was not familiar with the road．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．It was dark and raining heavily then．
C．The railway workers failed to give the signal．
D．Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing．
42．The phrase "near miss" (Paragraph 2 ) can best be replaced by ．
A．close hit B．heavy loss C．narrow escape D．big mistake
43．Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?
A．Modern technology is what we can’t live without．
B．Digital technology often falls short of our expectation．
C．Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be．
D．GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident．
44．In the writer’s opinion， Stevenson’s argument is ．
A．one-sided B．reasonable C．puzzling D．well-based
45．What is the real concern of the writer of this article?
A．The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts．
B．The relationship between humans and technology．
C．The shortcomings of digital devices we use．
D．The human unawareness of technical problems．

In the more and more competitive service industry， it is no longer enough to promise
customer satisfaction． Today， customer "delight" is what companies are trying to achieve in
order to keep and increase market share．
It is accepted in the marketing industry， and confirmed by a number of researches， that
customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people； those
treated badly will tell their tales of woe to up to 20 people． Interestingly， 80 percent of people
who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal．
New challenges for customer care have come when people can obtain goods and services
through telephone call centers and the Internet． For example， many companies now have to
invest(投资)a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the
"phone rage" — caused by delays in answering calls， being cut off in mid-conversation or left
waiting for long periods．
"Many people do not like talking to machines，"says Dr． Storey， Senior Lecturer in
Marketing at City University Business School． "Banks， for example， encourage staff at call
centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them． The aim is to
make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust them — the sort of comfortable
feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager．"
Recommended ways of creating customer delight include ： under-promising and
over-delivering (saying that a repair will be carried out within five hours， but getting it done
within two)；replacing a faulty product immediately； throwing in a gift voucher(购物礼券)as an
unexpected "thank you" to regular customers； and always returning calls， even when they are
complaints．
Aiming for customer delight is all very well， but if services do not reach the high level
promised， disappointment or worse will be the result． This can be eased by offering an apology
and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example，"I
know how you must feel")， and possible solutions (replacement， compensation or whatever
fairness suggests best meets the case)．
Airlines face some of the toughest challenges over customer care． Fierce competition has
convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool， while there is great
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather， unclaimed luggage and technical
problems．
For British Airways staff， a winning telephone style is considered vital in handling the large
volume of calls about bookings and flight times． They are trained to answer quickly， with their
name， job title and a "we are here to help" attitude． The company has invested heavily in
information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen．
British Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff
are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service．
Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans
such as "we do as we please"． On the other hand， the more customers are promised， the greater
the risk of disappointment．
50．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ．
A．complaining customers are hard to satisfy
B．unsatisfied customers receive better service
C．satisfied customers catch more attention
D．well-treated customers promote business
51．The writer mentions "phone rage"(Paragraph 3) to show that ．
A．customers often use phones to express their anger
B．people still prefer to buy goods online
C．customer care becomes more demanding
D．customers rely on their phones to obtain services
52．What does the writer recommend to create customer delight?
A．Calling customers regularly．
B．Giving a "thank you" note．
C．Delivering a quicker service．
D．Promising more gifts．
53．If a manager should show his empathy (Paragraph 6)， what would he probably say?
A．"I know how upset you must be．"
B．"I appreciate your understanding．"
C．"I’m sorry for the delay．"
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．"I know it’s our fault．"
54．Customer delight is important for airlines because ．
A．their telephone style remains unchanged
B．they are more likely to meet with complaints
C．the services cost them a lot of money
D．the policies can be applied to their staff
55．Which of the following is conveyed in this article?
A．Face-to-face service creates comfortable feelings among customers．
B．Companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers．
C．A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market．
D．Customer delight is more important for airlines than for banks．

It was Saturday． As always， it was a busy one， for "Six days shall you labor and do all
your work" was taken seriously back then． Outside，Father and Mr． Patrick next door were busy
chopping firewood． Inside their own houses， Mother and Mrs． Patrick were engaged in spring
cleaning．
Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites． Now， even at the risk
of having Brother caught to beat carpets， they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(线)． It
seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today．
My mother looked at the sitting room ， its furniture disordered for a thorough
sweeping． Again she cast a look toward the window． "Come on， girls! Let’s take string to the
boys and watch them fly the kites a minute．"
On the way we met Mrs． Patrick， laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong，
together with her girls．
There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites
and they went up higher and higher． We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the
kites． Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back， watching it dancing up and down in the
wind， and finally bringing it down to earth， just for the joy of sending it up again．
Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us． Our mothers took their turn， laughing
like schoolgirls． I think we were all beside ourselves． Parents forgot their duty and their dignity；
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies． "Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of
heaven，" I thought confusedly．
It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the houses． I suppose we had
some sort of supper． I suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up， for the house on
Sunday looked clean and orderly enough． The strange thing was， we didn’t mention that day
afterward． I felt a little embarrassed． Surely none of the others had been as excited as I． I
locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep "the things that cannot be and yet
they are"．
The years went on， then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment，
trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to "go
park， see duck．"
"I can’t go!" I said． "I have this and this to do， and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to
walk that far．"
My mother， who was visiting us， looked up from the peas she was shelling． "It’s a
wonderful day，"she offered，"really warm， yet there’s a fine breeze． Do you remember that day
we flew kites?"
I stopped in my dash between stove and sink． The locked door flew open and with it a rush
of memories． "Come on，"I told my little girl． "You’re right， it’s too good a day to miss．"
Another decade passed． We were in the aftermath (余波)of a great war． All evening we
had been asking our returned soldier， the youngest Patrick Boy， about his experiences as a
prisoner of war． He had talked freely， but now for a long time he had been silent． What was
he thinking of — what dark and horrible things?
"Say!" A smile slipped out from his lips． "Do you remember — no， of course you
wouldn’t． It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me．"
I hardly dared speak．"Remember what?"
"I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营)， when things weren’t too good． Do
you remember the day we flew the kites?"
56．Mrs． Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought ．
A．she was too old to fly kites
B．her husband would make fun of her
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．she should have been doing her housework then
D．her girls weren’t supposed to play the boy’s game
57．By "we were all beside ourselves"， the writer means that they all ．
A．felt confused B．went wild with joy
C．looked on D．forgot their fights
58．What did the writer think after the kite-flying?
A．The boys must have had more fun than the girls．
B．They should have finished their work before playing．
C．Her parents should spend more time with them．
D．All the others must have forgotten that day．
59．Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing?
A．She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother．
B．She was reminded of the day they flew kites．
C．She had finished her work in the kitchen．
D．She thought it was a great day to play outside．
60．The youngest Patrick Boy is mentioned to show that ．
A．the writer was not alone in treasuring her fond memories
B．his experience in POW camp threw a shadow over his life
C．childhood friendship means so much to the writer
D．people like him really changed a lot after the war

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Throwing a Few People Together
"Teamworking" is found everywhere within just about every organization． You can’t get
away from "teams" that are supposed to be able to create something that is greater than the sum of
its parts． Or so the theory goes．
There are five measures that need to be taken before you can get the most out of a team：
61．_______
There must be a clear reason for the team to exist． And all the members should realize the
value and significance of what they are going to do． What they are hoping to achieve should be
something achievable but at the same time tough and inspiring enough to attract the members and
keep their motivation alive． What is more， they should also be well prepared for the possible
difficulties they may come across in the process．
62．_________
Team members must be able to express their opinions freely without fear of being criticized，
and they must have the feeling that their suggestions will be taken seriously． This is an important
point because the team may need to resolve some complex or thorny issues． For example， it
may discuss a sensitive topic． Should they keep their conclusion within the team or share it with
other employees? This is an issue in itself that all the members should agree on and frank
discussion is required．
63．________
It is easy to think that a junior team member may have less to contribute than more
experienced ones． This is not only demoralizing or discouraging， it also makes no sense —
people that have nothing to contribute should not have been selected for the team in the first
place． Since they have become members of your team， you need to make sure that each of them
has an opportunity to add his or her thoughts to discussions．
64．________
Disagreements are natural and， in fact， debate and discussion should be encouraged． A
team made up only of "yes men" can make disastrous decisions that few people honestly agreed
with in the first place． Consequently， there should be rules on how lengthy disagreements
should be handled． For example， team meetings may not be the most appropriate place for a
discussion that involves only two people， so "under-the-table" method may be effective．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
65．______
Most high-performing teams are well organized． A good organizer should be able to play to
individuals’ strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses． It should be someone who can
act as a promoter and a constant reminder of what the team needs to achieve． He must， above all，
be skilled in sharing responsibility and setting tasks to others， coaching them to achieve tasks，
and providing constructive feedback on how the tasks went．
Team building isn’t as simple as just throwing a few people together． It requires much more，
but motivating people is most essential． Successful teamworking is not marked by how much
progress the team makes toward its goals， but by how confidently each of its members completes
his or her assigned tasks with a sense of achievement and pride．

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
2011 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(浙江卷)
英语答案
1．C【解析】考查情景对话。从答语后一句可知，此处应该表示"没关系"，故用That’s all right。
of course 表示"当然"，no kidding 表示"不是开玩笑，我说的是真的"，don’t mention it 表
示"(别人道谢时回答)不客气"，都与语境不符。
2．D【解析】考查冠词的用法。第一空表示"那幅最近发现的画"，是特指概念，用定冠词
the；第二空表示"一幅毕加索的画"，故用不定冠词a。所以这里选D 项。
3．A【解析】考查非谓语动词。语意：真想不到，蝙蝠竟是长寿生物，有些蝙蝠的寿命长
达20 年。结合语意和句子结构可知此处为独立主格结构，having 的逻辑主语是前面的
some。
4．D【解析】考查连词辨析。语意表示我们正在收拾行李，这时我的女儿听到求救的呼喊。
be doing．．．when．．．表示"正在做某事，这时(突然)……"，是常用结构，故选D 项。
5．B【解析】考查介词辨析。语意：我经常想做我之前为之受过培训的工作，for 表示目的，
意为"为了……"，符合语意。
6．A【解析】考查动词词组辨析。从语意"这所学校不是我原本真正想要读的，但既然来了，
我将不得不好好利用它"可知，make the best of 表示"好好利用"符合语意。get away from
表示"逃离"，keep an eye on 表示"照看，留神"，catch up with 表示"赶上，跟上"，都与
语意不符。
7．C【解析】考查代词辨析。根据语意"因为幽默受人喜欢，所以它在对话中或者在其他任
何场合中都很受欢迎"，所以用anywhere 表示"在任何地方"。
8．A【解析】考查定语从句。本句中的先行词是several diverse cultures，先行词在从句中作
each of 的宾语，所以应该用关系代词which。
9．B【解析】考查形容词辨析。语意：那个教授可从Maria 茫然的眼神中判断他的讲座她
一个字也不理解。根据语意可知这里选blank 表示"茫然的，不理解的"。
10．C【解析】考查定语从句。本句中的先行词是the place，先行词在定语从句中作地点状
语，所以应该用关系副词where。
11．D【解析】考查情态动词。根据语意"——你们的新保姆怎么样?——我们不能再要求更
好的了，孩子们都很喜欢她。"可知这里应用couldn’t 表示"不可能"。should 表示"应该，
应当"，might 表示"可能"，mustn’t 表示"禁止，不允许"都不符合语意。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
12．D【解析】考查动词词组辨析。语意：他决定一路开车回家而不是在旅馆住宿。put up (at．．．)

"，put on 表示"穿上，发动"，都不符合语意。

上交"可知，这里用occasionally 表示"偶尔，有时候"。finally 表示"最后"，immediately
表示"立刻，马上"，certainly 表示"确定，肯定"，都不符合语意，故答案选C 项。
14．B【解析】考查非谓语动词。此处lost 是过去分词作themselves 的宾语补足语，语意表
示"甚至最好的作家有时候也会表达不出来"，所以答案选B 项。
15．C【解析】考查动词的时态。从语意"经理很担心现在助手正在代他参加的新闻发布会……"
可知，give 的动作和was worried 这一动作同时发生，根据语意可知用过去进行时，答
案选C 项。
16．A【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据语意"我的安排很紧……"可知，这里选tight 表示"紧
的"。short 表示"短的"，regular 表示"有规律的"，flexible 表示"灵活的"，都不符合语意。

17．D【解析】考查情景对话。——我可以来看看你的新家吗?——当然可以。此处by all means

的"，由此可知此处选principles 表示"行为准则"。emotion 表示"情感"，regulation 表示"
法规，规则"，opinion 表示"观点，看法"，都不符合语意。
19．C【解析】考查非谓语动词。根据语意"如果他们在今晚的决赛中获胜的话，他们队将

所以选C 项。
20．B【解析】考查情景对话。语意表示"——我看我明天不能去爬山了。——为什么呢?"，
所以此处应用How come 表示"为什么"。
21．D【解析】从上文I’ve been ill 可知，我得病了。此处表示在我20 来岁，我的病(sickness)
还是可控制的时候，选D 项。
22．B【解析】从语境可知，我10 年来都在餐馆担任专业歌手，给人们唱民歌，所以用enjoyed

不幸的是……"。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
24．A【解析】从上下文可知，我过去在疾病可控制时是歌手，但那已经是很久以前的事了，
而现在(Now)我跟我母亲生活在乡村农场，答案选A 项。

"增添，增加"，get rid of 表示"摆脱"，take advantage of 表示"利用"，都不符合语境。
26．B【解析】从上下文语境可知，这里表示"原因"，故用As 意为"因为，由于"。

示"我对工作的选择"。
28．D【解析】从上文语境可知，我考虑要像原来一样回到餐馆唱歌，由此可知应选going back
表示"回去"，其他都不符合语境。

始。
31．D【解析】根据语境和常识可知，常常(often)你会发现一张唱片上的十首歌曲中实际上

44．A【解析】逻辑推理题。从文章第四段的内容可推知，作者认为Stevenson 的观点是片
面的，故答案选A 项。
45．B【解析】主旨大意题。从倒数第二段中的"The game between humans and their smart devices
is amusing and complex．．．"和最后一段的"If there is such a way， it should involve more
than．．．"可知，作者认为人类与高科技设备之间的关系很复杂，暗示了作者真正关注

52．C【解析】事实细节题。文章第五段讲的是作者推荐的几种愉悦顾客的方式，从本段中
提到的例子可知，告诉顾客5 小时内修好，但实际上在2 小时内完成，这会让顾客感到

Dear Mr． Headmaster，
I am Li Yue， a student from Class 1， Senior Ⅱ． I am writing to draw your attention to
some improper behaviour among us students： littering and scribbling． It makes our school dirty
and unpleasant， and does harm to the image of our school． I always feel ashamed whenever I
see this． It is clearly not appropriate for a student to litter and scribble about． I wonder if the
school could place more dustbins around and set up specific rules against such behaviour． At the
same time ， students should be encouraged to develop good habits and better behave
themselves． I believe that， with the joint efforts of both teachers and students， our school will
become a more enjoyable place in the near future． Thank you for your consideration．
Yours faithfully，
Li Yue

Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?
The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences．To the
Egyptians，green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring，while for Muslims，it
means heaven．Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures．In China，children are given money
in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year．For many nations，blue is a symbol of
protection and religious beliefs．Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect
themselves against evils（灾祸）．
People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions（反应）toward
them．Green is said to be the most restful color．It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people
both mentally and physically．People who work in green environment have been found to have
fewer stomach aches．
Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites（食欲）．Many
decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant．Similarly，many commercial
websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s
eye．
Blue is another calming color．Unlike red，blue can cause people to lose appetite．So if you
want to eat less，some suggest that eating from blue plates can help．
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room，think
about the color carefully．

Good afternoon，everyone．
Welcome to our school！High school students are faced with a choice between arts and
science. It was not an easy choice for me to make．After careful consideration，though，I decided
on science as my main subject of study．The reasons are as follows．
First，science graduates are in greater demand than arts ones in China，Second, the science
major can help me achieve my childhood dream of becoming a scientist. Third，my parents wish
me to study science at college because they believe I will have a brighter future as a science
student. Last but not least，my physics teacher is my role model，whose influence on me had a lot
to do with my decision．
It is for these reasons that I finally made my choice．
Thanks!

The Basics of Math — Made Clear
Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics， as well as the
fundamentals of more tricky areas． These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students
with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra (代数) and beyond．
The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic． They also look into
exponents (指数)， the order of operations， and square roots． In addition to learning how to
perform various mathematical operations， students discover why these operations work， how a
particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics， and how these operations
can be used practically．
Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more
troublesome ones， so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by
students． The lectures offer students the chance to "make sense" of mathematical knowledge that
may have seemed so frightening． They also help students prepare for college mathematics and
overcome their anxiety about this amazing — and completely understandable — field of study．
By the conclusion of the course， students will have improved their understanding of basic
math． They will be able to clear away the mystery (神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies
with more confidence than they ever imagined． In addition， they will strengthen their ability to
accept new and exciting mathematical challenges．
Professor H． Siegel， honored by Kentucky Educational Television as "the best math teacher
in America"， is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways
that make them seem clear and obvious． From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract
problems， he is a master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary．
With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University， Dr． Siegel teaches
mathematics at Central Arizona College． His courses include various make-up classes and a
number of lectures for future primary school teachers．
If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you， you can easily exchange it for any
other course that we offer． Or you can get your money back．

Peanuts to This
Proudly reading my words， I glanced around the room， only to find my classmates bearing
big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes． Confused， I glanced toward my stone-faced
teacher． Having no choice， I slowly raised the report I had slaved over， hoping to hide
myself． "What could be causing everyone to act this way?"
Quickly， I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task． This was the first real
task I received in my new school． It seemed simple： go on the Internet and find information
about a man named George Washington． Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher
in my home country， I had never heard of that name before． As I searched the name of this
fellow， it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked
completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts， while the other led some sort of
army across America． I stared at the screen， wondering which one my teacher meant． I called
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
my grandfather for a golden piece of advice： flip(掷) a coin． Heads — the commander， and
tails — the peanut guy． Ah! Tails， my report would be about the great man who invented peanut
butter， George Washington Carver．
Weeks later， standing before this unfriendly mass， I was totally lost． Oh well， I lowered
the paper and sat down at my desk， burning to find out what I had done wrong． As a classmate
began his report， it all became clear， "My report is on George Washington， the man who
started the American Revolution．" The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she
meant that George Washington?
Obviously， my grade was awful． Heartbroken but fearless， I decided to turn this
around． I talked to Miss Lancelot， but she insisted： No re-dos； no new grade． I felt that the
punishment was not justified， and I believed I deserved a second chance． Consequently， I
threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year． Ten months later， that chance
unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather， now having an
entirely different conversation． I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the
beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade． Justice
is sweet!
60．What did the author’s classmates think about his report?
A．Controversial． B．Ridiculous． C．Boring． D．Puzzling．
61．Why was the author confused about the task?
A．He was unfamiliar with American history．
B．He followed the advice and flipped a coin．
C．He forgot his teacher’s instruction．
D．He was new at the school．
62．The underlined word "burning" in Para．3 probably means ．
A．annoyed B．ashamed C．ready D．eager
63．In the end， the author turned things around ．
A．by redoing his task B．through his own efforts
C．with the help of his grandfather D．under the guidance of his headmaster
C
Decision-making under Stress
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers
the advantages and disadvantages， causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible
negative (负面的) consequences of a decision．
The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable
ways．
"Stress affects how people learn，" says Professor Mara Mather． "People learn better about
positive than negative outcomes under stress．"
For example， two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images (影像)
with either rewards or punishments． In one experiment， some of the participants were first
stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience； in the
other， some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water． In both cases， the
stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material
less accurately than those who hadn’t gone through the stress．
This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or
smoking a cigarette while under stress — at those moments， only the pleasure associated with
such activities comes to mind． But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a
double effect ． Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better ， but negative
consequences are also less easily recalled．
The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and
women． While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under
stress， their responses to risk turn out to be different．
Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the
experiment while women responded in the opposite way． In stressful situations in which
risk-taking can pay off big， men may tend to do better； when caution weighs more， however，
women will win．
This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also
help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men： they may more often
avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction．
64．We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to ．
A．keep rewards better in their memory
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．recall consequences more effortlessly
C．make risky decisions more frequently
D．learn a subject more effectively
65．According to the research， stress affects people most probably in their ．
A．ways of making choices B．preference for pleasure
C．tolerance of punishments D．responses to suggestions
66．The research has proved that in a stressful situation， ．
A．women find it easier to fall into certain habits
B．men have a greater tendency to slow down
C．women focus more on outcomes
D．men are more likely to take risks
D
Wilderness
"In wilderness (荒野) is the preservation of the world．" This is a famous saying from a writer
regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism． The frequency with which it is borrowed
mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection： whether to place wilderness at the heart of
what is to be preserved．
As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out， there is a strong appeal in images of the wild，
the untouched； more than anything else， they speak of the nature that many people value most
dearly．The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong， and the danger
exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real．Some of these wildernesses also
perform functions that humans need — the rainforests， for example，store carbon in vast
quantities． To Mr．Sauven， these "ecosystem services" far outweigh the gains from exploitation．
Lee Lane， a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute， takes the opposing view． He
acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services， such as water conservation． But that
is not， he argues， a reason to avoid all human presence， or indeed commercial and industrial
exploitation． There are ever more people on the Earth， and they reasonably and rightfully want
to have better lives， rather than merely struggle for survival． While the ways of using resources
have improved， there is still a growing need for raw materials， and some wildernesses contain
them in abundance． If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
provide，the argument goes，there is no further reason not to do so．Being untouched is not， in
itself，a characteristic worth valuing above all others．
I look forward to seeing these views taken further， and to their being challenged by the other
participants． One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the
question of spiritual value a little more directly．And there is a practical question as to whether
wildernesses can be exploited without harm．
This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings， but also the guidance of
reason．What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves
much more serious thinking．
67．John Sauven holds that ．
A．many people value nature too much
B．exploitation of wildernesses is harmful
C．wildernesses provide humans with necessities
D．the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong
68．What is the main idea of Para．3?
A．The exploitation is necessary for the poor people．
B．Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials．
C．Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation．
D．All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally．
69．What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?
A．Objective． B．Disapproving． C．Sceptical． D．Optimistic．
70．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A．
B．

D．

Empathy
Last year，researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy， the ability to
understand other people， among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10
years． 71 Today， people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and
clubs．
Jennifer Freed， a co-director of a teen program， has another explanation． Turn on the TV，
and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting， competing， and
generally treating one another with no respect． 72
There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples． Humans are socially related by
nature． 73 Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have
high self-respect． Besides， empathy can be a cure for loneliness， sadness， anxiety， and fear．
Empathy is also an indication of a good leader． In fact， Freed says， many top companies
report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers． 74
"Academics are important． But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence， you won’t be
as successful in work or in your love life，" she says．
What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商)? For starters， let down your guard and really
listen to others． 75
To really develop empathy， you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital， join a
club or a team that has a diverse membership， have a "sharing circle" with your family， or spend
time caring for pets at an animal shelter．
A．Everyone is different， and levels of empathy differ from person to person．
B．That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time，the
researchers said．
C．"One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking，"
Freed says．
D．Humans learn by example — and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic．
E．Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else — both what they think
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
and how they feel．
F．Good social skills — including empathy — are a kind of "emotional intelligence" that will
help you succeed in many areas of life．
G．Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human — and having
empathy is decisive to those relationships．

This morning， when I was walking on the street， I saw that two travelers were reading a
map， looking puzzled． It seemed they were lost． I went up to them and asked how I could
help． They told me they were looking for the Temple of Heaven． I led them to the nearby bus
stop and advised them to take Bus No． 20， which could take them there directly． They
appreciated my help greatly． Before long， the bus came． We waved goodbye to each
other． Seeing them on the bus， I felt a kind of satisfaction．

I think the white pencil， looking proud and delighted， is laughing at the black pencil by
saying "You’re nearing the end!" The black pencil， on the other hand， remains calm． The white
pencil’s words let him fall into deep thoughts． He clearly remembers he has been used in writing
and drawing． It’s true that he’s approaching the end but he has been living a memorable life and
there has rarely been a dull moment．
In reality， we should learn from the black pencil： not to mind what others say so long as we
are confident in what we have done．

I became a gardener when I was twelve． My early 36 of gardening may not have

At that time， we had a big yard in which a beautiful maple tree stood． But my mother often
looked with 38 at this work of natural art． Those golden leaves seemed like tons of
rubbish to her， "something else to 39 !" Seeing the neighbors busy with gardening，
my father even thought it a waste of time．
At that age， I always did something 40 to whatever my parents did! If
gardening were something they found 41 ， I would plant a garden!
I planted some lily(百合花) seeds in the yard． But they failed to 42 ． I continued
to plant sunflower seeds and roses． Wild 43 joy， I found the first rose bloom(开

land of wonder．
45 ，my parents showed no interest in my garden．My father even 46 at me
because he found it was 47 to move around my garden to the driveway． To my
mother’s 48 ，I put in her vase my real roses which，in her eyes，were simply weeds 49
flowers．
Regardless of their 50 ， I kept on planting my garden and 51 to enjoy
the pleasure of gardening． Plants make such good companions： they breathe， they bloom，
they 52 to care and love．
It has been many years since I made my first garden out of my desire to 53 my
parents．Today I become known as Mrs．Greenthumbs，teaching gardening and hosting a
gardening show，which makes my parents feel very 54 ． And now I could say it is my
affection for 55 that makes me a real gardener．

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift． Unlike other gifts， it came
without wrap(包装)．
On September 11th， 1958， Mum gave birth to Richard． After she brought him home from
hospital， she put him in my lap， saying，"I promised you a gift， and here it is．" What an honor!
I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own． I played
with it day and night． I sang to it． I told it stories． I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning， however， I found its bed empty． My doll was gone! I cried for it． Mum
wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital． It had a fever． For several
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
days， I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as "hopeless"，"pitiful"，and "dying"， which
sounded ominous．
Christmas was coming．"Don’t expect any presents this year，"Dad said，pointing at the socks
I hung in the living room． "If your baby brother lives， that’ll be Christmas enough．" As he
spoke， his eyes filled with tears． I’d never seen him cry before．
The phone rang early on Christmas morning． Dad jumped out of bed to answer it． From
my bedroom I heard him say，"What? He’s all right?" He hung up and shouted upstairs． "The
hospital said we can bring Richard home!"
"Thank God!" I heard Mum cry．
From the upstairs window， I watched my parents rush out to the car． I had never seen them
so happy． And I was also full of joy． What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home． I
ran downstairs． My socks still hung there flat． But I knew they were not empty； they were
filled with love!

Top lists are lecturing pople on everything from "100 places to visit" to "100 books to
read"． Aren’t you just tired of being told what to do with your time?
Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of "101 things not to do"：
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities． However，
not every dolphin will welcome having their busy， tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming
and pushing around them in the water． Worse yet， when dolphins get too near to the boats
loaded with tourists， they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨)．
Here’s a little secret．Dolphins look like smiling at you，but actually they’re just opening their
mouths．
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile． The 6 million people who
visit the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong， after all． But they can be quite
annoying， standing in front of you， holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing
anything． In fact， it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away
from it for security reasons． After queuing for hours， many tourists can remain in front of the
painting only for 15 seconds at most．
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate， she wouldn’t just be smiling， she’d be
laughing．
So， still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list， read 101
Things NOT to Do Before You Die． Visit www．not2dobeforeidie．co．uk and buy the book at
a 20% discount．
60．According to the passage，swimming with dolphins ．
A．is the world’s most popular tourist activity
B．gives fun to both tourists and dolphins
C．will make tourists busy and tired
D．can cause danger to dolphins
61．What does the author think about going to see the Mona Lisa?
A．It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile．
B．It is not as satisfying as expected．
C．Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough．
D．Queuing for hours is worthwhile．
62．The list of "101 things not to do" is made most probably because its author ．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other lists
B．believes other lists are not humorous enough
C．intends to persuade people to read more lists
D．wants to provide a list different from other lists
63．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To advertise a book． B．To introduce a website．
C．To comment on popular lists． D．To recommend tourist activities．

There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of
whisky(威士忌)at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle．When Queen Victoria visited the castle
in 1873 she wrote in her diary，"I never saw a lovelier spot．" And she didn’t even go fishing．
Scotland is not easily defined．In certain moments，this quiet land of lakes and grasses and
mountains changes before your very eyes．When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange
light，the rivers，teeming with fish， can turn into streams of gold．As you settle down with just
a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy，near the Inverlochy Castle，any
frustration(烦恼) will float away as gently as the circling water．It’s just you and purple，pink，
white flowers，seeking a perfect harmony．If you are a new comer to fishing，learning the basics
from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime’s fun．For many， fishing is more than a sport；
it is an art．
Scotland offers interesting places where you can rest after a long day’s fishing． Set against a
wild mountain and hidden behind woodland， the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the
Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland’s mountains． Ben Nevis is the highest of all
British mountains， and reaching its 1343-metre top is a challenge． But it’s not just what goes up
that matters； what comes down is unique． More than 900 metres high， on the mountain’s north
face， lies an all-important source of pure water． Its name comes from the Gaelic language
"usquebaugh" or "water of life"； and it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in
Scotland’s best known drink： whisky．
64．The story of Queen Victoria is to show that ．
A．the Queen is rich in tour experience
B．the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．tasting whisky is better than going fishing
D．1873 is a special year for the Queen
65．How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A．By giving descriptions．
B．By following time order．
C．By analyzing causes．
D．By making comparisons．
66．What is Ben Nevis special for?
A．The Inverlochy Castle Hotel．
B．The beauty of its surroundings．
C．The water from the mountain．
D．The challenge up to its top．
67．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists．
B．To show the attractions of Scotland to readers．
C．To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland．
D．To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland．
D
To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely story the Christians(基督教徒)have
ever cooked up． For them， the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil(邪恶的)． So when Columbus
brought the tomato back from South America， a land mistakenly considered to be Eden，
everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion． Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden， the tomato
was shut out of the door of Europeans．
What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake， a plant that was
thought to have come from Hell(地狱)． What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots
which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits． Though the tomato and the
mandrake were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit， the general
population considered them one and the same， too terrible to touch．
Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato， and until the early 1700s most of the Western
people continued to drag their feet． In the 1880s， the daughter of a well-known plant expert
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her father’s house had been the
"introduction of this wonderful new fruit — or is it a vegetable?" As late as the twentieth century
some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an "evil fruit"．
But in the end tomatoes carried the day． The hero of the tomato was an American named
Robert Johnson，and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820， people journeyed for
hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead． "What are you afraid of?" he shouted．"I’ll show you
fools that these things are good to eat!" Then he bit into the tomato． Some people fainted． But
he survived and， according to a local story， set up a tomato-canning factory．
68．The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because ．
A．it made Christians evil B．it was the apple of Eden
C．it came from a forbidden land D．it was religiously unacceptable
69．What can we infer from the underlined part in Paragraph 3?
A．The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down．
B．There was little progress in the study of the tomato．
C．The tomato was still refused in most western countries．
D．Most western people continued to get rid of the tomato．
70．What is the main reason for Robert Johnson to eat the tomato publicly?
A．To make himself a hero．
B．To remove people’s fear of the tomato．
C．To speed up the popularity of the tomato．
D．To persuade people to buy products from his factory．
71．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To challenge people’s fixed concepts of the tomato．
B．To give an explanation to people’s dislike of the tomato．
C．To present the change of people’s attitudes to the tomato．
D．To show the process of freeing the tomato from religious influence．

In his 1930 essay "Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren"，John Keynes，a famous
economist，wrote that human needs fall into two classes：absolute needs，which are independent
of what others have，and relative needs，which make us feel superior to our fellows．He thought
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable(无止境的)，this is not true of absolute needs．
Keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for
superiority．He was greatly mistaken，however，in seeing this desire as the only source of
insatiable demands．
Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demand for
almost all goods，including even basic goods like food．When a couple goes out for an anniversary
dinner，for example，the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them．Their
goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals．
There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demands for quality．For example，Porsche，
a famous car producer，has a model which was considered perhaps the best sports car on the
market．Priced at over $120，000，it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration． But
in 2004， the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling
and acceleration． People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting． To
get them， however， they must pay almost four times the price．
By placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable
demands，Keynes actually reduced such demands．However， the desire for higher quality has no
natural limits．
72．According to the passage，John Keynes believed that ．
A．desire is the root of both absolute and relative needs
B．absolute needs come from our sense of superiority
C．relative needs alone lead to insatiable demands
D．absolute needs are stronger than relative needs
73．What do we know about the couple in Paragraph 3?
A．They want to show their superiority．
B．They find specialty important to meals．
C．Their demands for food are not easily satisfied．
D．Their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality．
74．What does the underlined word "escalation" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Understanding． B．Increase． C．Difference． D．Study．
75．The author of the passage argues that ．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．absolute needs have no limits
B．demands for quality are not insatiable
C．human desires influence ideas of quality
D．relative needs decide most of our spending

2012 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(重庆卷)
英语答案
1．A 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．C 6．C 7．B 8．C 9．A 10．A
11．B 12．B 13．C 14．B 15．C 16．B 17．A
18．Discussion/discussion
19．Football/football
20．10：30/Ten-thirty/ten-thirty
21．B【解析】本题考查代词的用法。根据该空后面的"I’ll be off to London then．"可知，周
四、周五这两天都不行，故选Neither。
22．B【解析】本题考查动词时态。根据"I’m waiting for the result"可知，Kevin 已经参加过
考试了，是过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时。故选B 项。
23．A【解析】本题考查非谓语动词。分析题干并根据"I missed a wonderful film"可知，此处
应用现在分词作原因状语；ask 和I 是动宾关系，故用被动语态；ask 这一动作发生在
missed 这一动作之前，故应用完成时。答案为A 项。
24．D【解析】本题考查冠词。第一空后面的manager 是表示职位的，故前面不用冠词；第
二空是固定短语take the place of，意为"代替"，故选D 项。本题考生容易错选C 项。误
把manager 看成普通名词，被后面的介词短语修饰，表示特指，而用定冠词the。
25．C【解析】本题考查情态动词的用法。句意：——你偏要现在打扰我吗?难道你没有看
到我正在打电话吗?——对不起，先生，但是情况太紧急了。must 表示"偏要，硬要"，
故选C 项。
26．A【解析】本题考查情景交际。根据前面的"Oh， no!"可知此处表示遗憾，故选A 项。
B 项意为"没关系"，C 项意为"我已经知道了"，D 项意为"根本没有意思"，都不符合语
境。
27．B【解析】本题考查动词时态和语态。根据"We must act immediately before there’s none
left．"可知救灾食品快要用完了，排除A、C 项。再根据run out 是不及物动词短语，没
有被动语态可知，用现在进行时的主动语态。故选B 项。本题考生容易错选D 项。考
生易把run out 看成是及物动词短语，有被动语态。其实run out 是不及物动词短语，
没有被动语态，只能用主动形式来表示被动。
28．A【解析】本题考查非谓语动词。根据前面的"We’re having a meeting in half an hour．"
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
可知会议还没开始，The decision 后面的定语应用动词不定式，表示将要发生的动作，
排除B、C、D 项。故选A 项。
29．D【解析】本题考查定语从句的关系词。分析句子结构可知，此处为定语从句。position
是先行词，定语从句中缺少地点状语，故用关系副词where。
30．C【解析】本题考查连词的用法。根据句意"—教练，我可以继续训练吗? —很抱歉，不
可以，因为你的膝盖受伤还没有恢复过来"可知，此处应用引导原因状语从句的连接词，
故选C 项。本题考生容易错选A 项，看成是not until 引导的句子。
31．A【解析】本题考查祈使句。前面是Before 引导的时间状语从句，故后面是主句。分析
题干可知此处是省略了主语you 的祈使句。故选A 项。本题考生容易错选B 项。有些
考生没有注意到前面是Before 引导的时间状语从句，后面是句子的主句，从而误认为
you 和consider 是主谓关系，应用动词的现在分词作伴随状语。
32．B【解析】本题考查强调句。分析题干可知此句为强调句，是对句子的状语"80 years before
Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic"进行强调的，故选B 项。考生容易错选A 项，
误把此句当成是时间状语从句。
33．C【解析】本题考查倒装句。否定词nor 放在句首时，后面用部分倒装，排除B、D 项；
再根据前面用的是将来时可知，后面的助动词也应用will， 故选C 项。
34．D【解析】本题考查同位语从句。分析句子结构可知，空格后面的部分是解释说明Evidence
的内容的，是Evidence 的同位语从句，从句中不缺任何成分，故选连词that。
35．A【解析】本题考查情景交际。结合"What if she refuses me?"可知选A 项。B 项意为"为
什么是我呢"，C 项意为"非常乐意"，常用于别人请求帮忙时的回答，D 项意为"那又怎
么样"，均不符合题意。
36．C【解析】根据空前面的"out of my desire"可判断出，此处表示"我"最初从事园艺的目的
可能不是源于对大自然的热爱，故选C 项。A 项意为"记忆力"，B 项意为"梦想"，D 项
意为"设计"。

项意为"变化"，C 项意为"帮助"。
38．A【解析】根据"．．．Those golden leaves seemed like tons of rubbish to her"可判断出，"
我"妈妈带着怀疑的目光看天然的艺术作品，故选A 项。B 项意为"欣赏"，C 项意为"惊
奇"，D 项意为"激动"。

想方设法把它们清理干净。短语clean up 意为"打扫(或清除)干净"，故选C 项。A 项意
为"把……收起搁置"，B 项意为"在意"，D 项意为"流行"。
40．D【解析】根据后面的"If gardening．．． I would plant a garden!"可判断出，"我"做的和"
我"父母做的正好相反，故选D 项。A 项意为"平等的"，B 项意为"类似的"，C 项意为"
占优势"。

to Richard．"可知，那天"我"有了一个弟弟。故选A 项。

生病的事实可知，ominous 与fearful"可怕的"意思最接近。
58．C【解析】考查推理判断。根据第四段可知，"我"的父亲在和"我"说话的时候眼睛含满
泪水，故可推知父亲因弟弟病重非常伤心。故选C 项。
59．C【解析】考查主旨大意。弟弟出生时，妈妈说他是她送给"我"的礼物；圣诞节那天早
上重病的弟弟终于病好可以回家了，这是"我"收到的最好的圣诞礼物，因为这是爱的象
征。"礼物"是贯穿全文的主线，故C 项最能概括本文主旨。
60．D【解析】考查细节理解。根据Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?中的"when dolphins get too near

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict．I’m left 36 ．Why do these
people create mistrust and problems， especially with those from other 37 ?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s， 38 children from different
races and religions played and studied 39 in harmony．At that time my family lived a
stone’s 40 from Ismail’s．And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and
Iwas an Indian Hindu — we just 41 our differences．Perhaps， our elders had not filled our
heads with unnecessary advice， well 42 or otherwise．
We were nine when we became friends．During the school holidays，we’d 43 the

第三部分 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
A
Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work， others that a wealthy person simply
wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying．But the donator who started sending envelopes
with cash to deserving causes， accompanied by an article from the local paper， has made a
northern German city believe in fairy tales(童话)．
The first envelope was sent to a victim support group．It contained
10，000 with a cutting
from the Braunschweiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her
handbag； similar plain white anonymous(匿名) envelopes， each containing
10，000， then
arrived at a kindergarten and a church．
The envelopes keep coming， and so far at least
190，000 has been distributed．Last month，
one of them was sent to the newspaper’s own office．It came after a story it published about Tom，
a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident．The receptionist at the
Braunschweiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of 500 inside，
with a copy of the article．The name of the family was underlined．
"I was driving when I heard the news，" Claudia Neumann， the boy’s mother， told Der
Spiegel magazine．"I had to park on the side of the road； I was speechless．"
The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a

At exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered，with anxiety and worry in every line of
his face．This meeting would decide his future life， and he obviously knew it．
"You may wonder， Sir Percival，" said Laura calmly， "if I am going to ask to be
released(免除) from my promise to marry you．I am not going to ask this．I respect my father’s
wishes too much．"
His face relaxed a little， but one of his feet kept beating the carpet．
"No， if we are going to withdraw(退出) from our planned marriage， it will be because of
your wish， not mine．"
"Mine?" he said in great surprise．"What reason could I have for withdrawing?"
"A reason that is very hard to tell you，" she answered．"There is a change in me．"
His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color．He turned his head to one side．
"What change?" he asked， trying to appear calm．
"When the promise was made two years ago，" she said， "my love did not belong to
anyone．Will you forgive me， Sir Percival， if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?"
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
"I wish you to understand，" Laura continued， "that I will never see this person again， and
that if you leave me， you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life．All I
ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret．"
"I will do both those things，" he said．Then he looked at Laura， as if he was waiting to hear
more．

Finally， a cell phone
That’s．．．a phone
With rates as low as $3．75 per week!
"Well， I finally did it．I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone．My kids
have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down， and I was stuck by the
highway for an hour before someone stopped to help．But when I went to the cell phone store， I
almost changed my mind．The phones all have cameras，computers and a "global-positioning"
something or other that’s supposed to spot me from space．Goodness，all I want to do is to be able
to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren’t much help．They couldn’t understand why
someone wouldn’twant a phone the size of a postage stamp．And the rate plans! They were
confusing， and expensive．．．and the contract(合同) lasted for two years! I’d almost given up
until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone．Now， I have the convenience and safety
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
of being about to stay in touch．．．with aphone I can actually use．"
Affordable plans that I can understand — and no contract to sign(签订)! Unlike other
cell phones，Jitterbug has plans that make sense．Why should I pay for minutes I’m never going to
use? And if I do talk more than I plan，I won’t find myself with no minutes like my friend who has
a prepaid phone．Best of all，there is no contract to sign — so I’m not locked in for years at a
time．The US-based customer service is second to none．And the phone gets service anywhere in
the country．
Call now and receive a FREE gift when you order．Try Jitterbug for 30 days and if you
don’t love it， just return it! Why wait，the Jitterbug comes ready to use right out of the box．If you
aren’t as happy with it as I am，you can return it and get your money back．Call now，the Jitterbug
product experts are ready to answer your questions．

Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard
it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well， apparently it’s because we have
mirror neurons(神经元) in our brains．
Put simply， the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do
something，our brains imitate(模仿) it， whether or not we actually perform the same action．This
explains a great deal about how we learn to smile，talk，walk，dance or play sports．But the idea
goes further：mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there
is a biological basis for the way we understand other people．
Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas
which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel．Researchers
have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language．A group of researchers discovered that
if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example："The hand took hold of the ball")，the same
mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example，
actually taking hold of a ball)．
Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior．Much research
suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully
functioning．However，it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find
treatments for social disorders．
Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning
how humans behave and interact(互动)．Indeed， it may turn out to be the equivalent(相等物) for
neuroscience of what Einstein’s theory of relativity was for physics．And the next time you feel
the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does — well， perhaps you’ll understand why．
67．Mirror neurons can explain ．
A．why we cry when we are hurt
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．why we cough when we suffer from a cold
C．why we smile when we see someone else smile
D．why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late
68．The underlined word "triggered" in the third paragraph probably means " "．
A．set off B．cut off C．built up D．broken up
69．We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons ．
A．relate to human behavior and interaction
B．control human physical actions and feelings
C．result in bad behavior and social disorders
D．determine our knowledge and language abilities
70．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Ways to find mirror neurons． B．Problems of mirror neurons．
C．Existence of mirror neurons． D．Functions of mirror neurons．

Holidays are really important．Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays
where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different
ways．
But holidays are expensive and， for those on low wages or living on benefits， they are
often unobtainable．Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are
difficult for many families to meet．
For working parents ，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for
childcare．When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks， there is a need to spread
this across the year．Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children
who are on holiday．For some， this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult．
The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our
children a caring and inspiring learning environment．The number of children receiving free
school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure
that children get a healthy start to the day．Most schools undertake programs of group or
individual educational support．Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children’s
welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils．During the long summer holidays，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
much of this is missed．
While teachers are holidaying in the UK， many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on
the street where they live．The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a
family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue
their learning．
In setting out its plans for a five-term year，Nottingham City Council(委员会) is seeking to
reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks，with a more balanced five terms of
roughly eight weeks，each followed by a two-week break．We believe this will give real "down
time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning．
We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff，particularly whose
own children are educated in other authorities．However，this must be weighed against the benefits
for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care．
71．The passage is probably written by ．
A．an experienced teacher B．a working parent
C．an inspired student D．a city council member
72．The underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refers to " "．
A．environments B．holidays C．wages D．benefits
73．It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to ．
A．2 weeks B．4．5 weeks C．5 weeks D．6 weeks
74．The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students ．
A．obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs
B．get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in school
C．benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment
D．have more school days to receive free school meals
75．It can be inferred from the passage that ．
A．working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children
B．the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out
C．the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real "down time"
D．some school staff will say "No" to the plans for a shorter summer holiday

Mind Your Behavior in Public Places
Last Sunday， I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park． The park was full
of freshness and beauty of spring， with the sun shining and birds singing．When I was enjoying
the fantastic scenery around， something unpleasant caught my eye．A young couple in a boat
were eating， talking and laughing loudly as if they were the only people in the world．What’s
worse， they spat and even threw rubbish into the lake， totally ignoring the noticeable sign "No
Littering" nearby．What a shame!
Such behavior left me deep in thought．If all visitors to the Fairy Lake Park do as the couple
did， the lake will be severely polluted and soon turned into a huge dustbin．I think all of us
should mind our behavior in public places．Only in this way can we live in more comfortable and
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
beautiful surroundings．

We all know that some things are obviously right． For example， it is right to be 1 to
other people．It is also right to look after the environment． Some things are 2 wrong，
too．For instance， we should not hurt or bully(欺负) others， nor should we litter． Rules often
tell us what is right or wrong．
Rules can help the public make the right 3 ， and remain safe． Car drivers have to obey
traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes． Cyclists who
give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 ．
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration， it will be 5 for
them to form what is sometimes called a "black and white" view． For example， they may
believe that people should always tell the truth， and that lying is 6 acceptable． Such people
always stick to their views，even if it means that they may get into 7 ．
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong． Some people
choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals， but others argue that
they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals； some insist that stealing is always wrong，but
others think that one does not need to feel so 11 when stealing some food to eat， if he lives
in a really poor area and he is 12 ．
Rules help us live together in harmony，because they show us the right way to 13
others．However，some people argue that rules may be 14 ， having observed that rules
change all the time， and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones

Mary will never forget the first time she saw him． He suddenly appeared in class one day，
16 (wear) sun glasses．He walked in as if he 17 (buy) the school．And the word quickly got
around that he was from New York City．
For some reason he sat beside Mary．Mary felt 18 (please)， because there were many
empty seats in the room．But she quickly realized that it wasn’t her，it was probably the fact that
she sat in 19 last row．
20 he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back，he was wrong． It might
have made it a little 21 (hard) for everybody because it meant they had to turn around，but
that didn’t stop the kids in the class． Of course whenever they turned to look at him，they had to
look at Mary， 22 made her feel like a star．
"Do you need those glasses for medical reasons?" the teacher asked．The new boy shook his
head．"Then I’d appreciate it if you didn’t wear them in class．I like to look at your eyes when I’m
speaking to you．" The new boy looked at the teacher 23 a few seconds and all the other

第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50 分)
第一节 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 项中，选出最佳选项。
A
"Have a nice day!"may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression．When my friend
Maxie says "Have a nice day"with a smile， I know she sincerely cares about what happens to
me．I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well．
"Have a nice day．Next!" This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the
supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door．The words come out in the same
tone(腔调)with a fixed procedure．They are spoken at me，not to me．Obviously，the concern for
my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business．
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each
other．Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting．As soon as you hear it，you know the meeting
is at an end．Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say．"Oh，you just
had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry， but have a nice day．"
The expression can be pleasant． If a stranger says "Have a nice day" to you，you may find it
heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you．
Although the use of the expression is an insincere，meaningless social custom at times，there
is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting．The salesgirl，the waitress，
the teacher， and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about
my day． But in a strange and comfortable way， it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend
they care when they really don’t care all that much．While the expression may not often be sincere，
it is always spoken． The point is that people say it all the time when they like．
26．How does the author understand Maxie’s words?
A．Maxie shows her anxiety to the author．
B．Maxie really wishes the author a good day．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．Maxie encourages the author to stay happy．
D．Maxie really worries about the author’s security．
27．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．The salesgirl is rude． B．The salesgirl is bored．
C．The salesgirl cares about me． D．The salesgirl says the words as a routine．
28．By saying "Have a nice day，" a stranger may ．
A．try to be polite to you B．express respect to you
C．give his blessing to you D．share his pleasure with you
29．According to the last paragraph， people say "Have a nice day" ．
A．sincerely B．as thanks C．as a habit D．encouragingly
30．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Have a Nice Day — a Social Custom
B．Have a Nice Day — a Pleasant Gesture
C．Have a Nice Day — a Heart-warming Greeting
D．Have a Nice Day — a Polite Ending of a Conversation
B
I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly．As a doctor， mother and
scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it， from the baby’s point
of view．
Mothers， doctors and nurses alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar level
lies． All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily
annoyed． In this state， the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible． The baby
asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth．
It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a
baby satisfied． The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr
Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night． I’ve never heard anything so
ridiculous． Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum． What is important is
feeding a baby in the best way， though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks．
Well， at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding． The research finds out that babies who are fed on
demand do better at school at age 5， 7， 11 and 14， than babies fed according to the clock． By
the age of 8， their IQ (智商)scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid
timetable． This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample(样本)of 10，
419 children born in the early 1990s，taking account of parental education，family income，a
child’s sex and age，the mother’s health and feeding style．These results don’t surprise
me．Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no
account of sinking blood sugar levels．
I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices．
31．According to Paragraph 2， one reason why a baby cries is that it feels ．
A．sick B．upset C．sleepy D．hungry
32．What does the author think about Dr King?
A．He is strict． B．He is unkind．
C．He has the wrong idea． D．He sets a timetable for mothers．
33．The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ．
A．basic B．reliable C．surprising D．interesting
34．What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?
A．The baby will sleep well．
B．The baby will have its brain harmed．
C．The baby will have a low blood sugar level．
D．The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8．
35．The author supports feeding the baby ．
A．in the night B．every four hours
C．whenever it wants food D．according to its blood sugar level
C
I was blind， but I was ashamed of it if it was known． I refused to use a white stick and
hated asking for help． After all， I was a teenage girl， and I couldn’t bear people to look at me
and think I was not like them． I must have been a terrible danger on the roads．Coming across me
wandering through the traffic ，motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
brakes．Apart from that，there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from
work．
One evening，I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses，and as usual
I ran into something．"I’m awfully sorry，"I said and stepped forward only to run into it
again．When it happened a third time，I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost．This was
just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me． So I carried on and found the bus
stop，which was a request stop， where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on
or off． No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived．
Generally in this situation， because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help，I tried to
guess at the sound．Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew
away． In the end， I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help．
But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop；it seemed that everyone had
suddenly decided not to travel by bus． Of course I heard plenty of buses pass，or I thought I
did．But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself，I let them all
go by．I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one．Then I gave up．I decided to walk
on to the next stop．
36．The girl refused to ask for help because she thought ．
A．she might be recognized B．asking for help looked silly
C．she was normal and independent D．being found blind was embarrassing
37．After the girl got off the bus that evening，she ．
A．began to run B．hit a person as usual
C．hit a lamppost by accident D．was caught by something
38．At the request stop that evening， the girl ．
A．stopped a big lorry B．stopped the wrong bus
C．made no attempt to stop the bus D．was not noticed by other people
39．What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?
A．Other vehicles also stopped there．
B．It was unreliable for making judgments．
C．More lorries than buses responded to the girl．
D．It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
40．Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop，hoping ．
A．to find people there B．to find more buses there
C．to find the bus by herself there D．to find people more helpful there

Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by
television companies．Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from
particular sections of the general public，and then they have sold audiences to advertisers．
An attraction of sport programs for the major U．S． media companies is that events are often
held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons — the slowest time periods of the week for general
television viewing．Sport events are the most popular weekend programs，especially among male
viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week． This means the
television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally
would be dead time for programming．
Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their
advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports． The people in the
advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers． They also
realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the
purchases of computers， cars and life insurance．
Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming． These sports attract few
viewers， and the ratings(收视率)are unusually low．However， the audience for these sports is
attractive to certain advertisers． It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the
United States，including many lawyers and business managers． This is why television reporting
of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars， business and personal
computers， and holiday trips．This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs
regardless of low ratings．Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers
and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of "company cars" and computers．With
such viewers，these programs don’t need high ratings to stay on the air．
41．Television sport programs on weekend afternoons ．
A．result in more sport events
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．get more viewers to play sports
C．make more people interested in television
D．bring more money to the television networks
42．Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?
A．Because there would be few viewers．
B．Because the advertisers would be off work．
C．Because television programs would go slowly．
D．Because viewers would pay less for watching television．
43．In many families， men make decisions on ．
A．holiday trips B．sports viewing
C．television shopping D．expensive purchases
44．The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because ．
A．their advertisers are carmakers B．their viewers are attracted by sports
C．their advertisers target at rich people D．their viewers can afford expensive cars
45．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Television ratings are determined by male viewers．
B．Rich viewers contribute most to television companies．
C．Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television．
D．Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events．

My husband received a letter a month ago from a young woman who had been his student
when she was in middle school． She was writing because she wanted to thank him for having a
great influence on her life．
In the letter she wrote，"You were the teacher who helped me discover my talent for
math． Before you came to teach us， I had been terribly poor at math， and had never thought
that I would be interested in it． To my surprise， you magically showed me the beauty of math． I
guess that was the turning point of my attitude towards it． Gradually my interest in it began to
grow． Thanks to your encouragement， I made continuous progress in math， and finally made
up my mind to study it in the university． Today I am working as an accountant at Valley Medical
Center in California． You played an important part． Thank you!"

I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV． One day， a sociologist proposed
that the 31 society has been consuming modern humans little by little． For fear that I would
become a victim of the consumer society， I 32 hurried to a bicycle shop in my
neighborhood． 33 the shopkeeper Mr． Johnson was selling me the bicycle， he said， "This
is the best thing you 34 have done． Life has become hopelessly 35 ． A bicycle is
simple， and it brings to you 36 things： fresh air， sunshine and exercise．" I agreed． Happy

第三部分 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)

的最佳选项。
A
You’ve just come home， after living abroad for a few years． Since you’ve been away， has
this country changed for the better — or for the worse?
If you’ve just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight’s holiday， small changes have
probably surprised you — anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a
mobile-phone shop to someone in your street moving house．
So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven， ten or even 15
years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed
— or now take for granted? To find out， we asked some people who recently returned．
Debi： When we left， Cheltenham， my home town， was a town of white， middle-class
families — all very conservative(保守的)． The town is now home to many eastern Europeans
and lots of Australians， who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism． There are even
several shops only for foreigners．
Having been an immigrant(移民) myself， I admire people who go overseas to find a
job． Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high， I’d think differently， but
I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they’re more open-minded and often
work harder than the natives．
Christine： As we flew home over Britain， both of us remarked how green everything
looked． But the differences between the place we’d left behind and the one we returned to were
brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed．
To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening — in Cyprus，
they’re very relaxed — and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
with some metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall． Everyone seemed to be on
guard． Even the airport car-hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their
vehicles had been used by bank robbers．
But anyway， this is still a green， beautiful country． I just wish more people would
appreciate what they’ve got．
51．After a short overseas holiday， people tend to ．
A．notice small changes B．expect small changes
C．welcome small changes D．exaggerate small changes
52．How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?
A．Cautiously． B．Positively． C．Sceptically． D．Critically．
53．When arriving at the airport in Britain， Christine was shocked by ．
A．the relaxed policemen B．the messy arrivals hall
C．the tight security D．the bank robbers
54．Which might be the best title for the passage?
A．Life in Britain． B．Back in Britain．
C．Britain in Future． D．Britain in Memory．
B
When my brother and I were young， my mom would take us on Transportation Days．
It goes like this： You can’t take any means of transportation more than once． We would
start from home， walking two blocks to the rail station． We’d take the train into the city center，
then a bus， switching to the tram， then maybe a taxi． We always considered taking a horse
carriage in the historic district， but we didn’t like the way the horses were treated， so we never
did． At the end of the day， we took the subway to our closest station， where Mom’s friend was
waiting to give us a ride home — our first car ride of the day．
The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get
around． She was born to be multimodal(多方式的)． She understood that depending on cars only
was a failure of imagination and， above all， a failure of confidence — the product of a
childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels．
Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
platform， nothing is frightening anymore ． New cities are just light-rail lines to be
explored． And your personal car， if you have one， becomes just one more tool in the toolbox
— and often an inadequate one， limiting both your mobility and your wallet．
On Transportation Days， we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or
toy， but the transportation was the point． First， it was exciting enough to watch the world speed
by from the train window． As I got older， my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would
otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself： How do I know where to get off?
How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets， and where to get them?
What track， what line， which direction， where’s the stop， and will I get wet when we go under
the river?
I’m writing this right now on an airplane， a means we didn’t try on our Transportation Days
and， we now know， the dirtiest and most polluting of them all． My flight routed me through
Philadelphia． My multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport． She took a train to meet me．
55．Which was forbidden by Mom on Transportation Days?
A．Having a car ride． B．Taking the train twice．
C．Buying more than one toy． D．Touring the historic district．
56．According to the writer， what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days?
A．Building confidence in herself．
B．Reducing her use of private cars．
C．Developing her sense of direction．
D．Giving her knowledge about vehicles．
57．The underlined word "paralyzed" (in Para． 5) is closest in meaning to " "．
A．displayed B．justified C．ignored D．ruined
58．Which means of transportation does the writer probably disapprove of?
A．Airplane． B．Subway． C．Tram． D．Car．
C
It was a simple letter asking for a place to study at Scotland’s oldest university which helped
start a revolution in higher education． A 140-year-old letter written by a lady calling for her to be
allowed to study medicine at St Andrews University has been discovered by researchers． Written
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
by Sophia Jex-Blake in 1873， the seven-page document， which urged the university to allow
women to study medicine at the institution， was released yesterday on International Women’s
Day．
The document was discovered buried in the university archives(档案) by part-time history
student Lis Smith， who is completing her PhD at St Andrews Institute of Scottish Historical
Research． She said： "We knew that Sophia Jex-Blake and her supporters， in their effort to open
up university medical education for women， had written to the Senatus Academicus(校评议委员
会) at St Andrews in an attempt to gain permission to attend classes there， but we didn’t know
documentary evidence existed ． While searching the archives for information about the
university’s higher certificate for women， I was astonished to come across what must be the very
letter Jex-Blake wrote．"
In the letter， Sophia and her supporters offered to hire teachers or build suitable buildings
for a medical school and to arrange for lectures to be delivered in the subjects not already covered
at St Andrews． Although her letter was not successful， it eventually led to the establishment of
the Ladies Literate in Arts at St Andrews， a distance-learning degree for women． The
qualification， which ran from 1877 until the 1930s， gave women access to university education
in the days before they were admitted as students． It was so popular that it survived long after
women were admitted as full students to St Andrews in 1892．
Ms Jex-Blake went on to help establish the London School of Medicine for Women in
1874． She was accepted by the University of Berne， where she was awarded a medical degree in
January 1877． Eventually， she moved back to Edinburgh and opened her own practice．
59．Sophia wrote a letter to St Andrews University because she wanted ．
A．to carry out a research project there B．to set up a medical institute there
C．to study medicine there D．to deliver lectures there
60．Lis Smith found Sophia’s letter to St Andrews University ．
A．by pure chance B．in the school office
C．with her supporters’ help D．while reading history books
61．Sophia’s letter resulted in the establishment of ．
A．the London School of Medicine for Women B．a degree programme for women
C．a system of medical education D．the University of Berne
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
62．When did St Andrews University begin to take full-time women students?
A．In 1873． B．In 1874． C．In 1877． D．In 1892．

How is it that siblings(兄弟姐妹) can turn out so differently? One answer is that in fact each
sibling grows up in a different family． The firstborn is， for a while， an only child， and
therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later． The next
child is， for a while， the youngest， until the situation is changed by a new arrival． The mother
and father themselves are changing and growing up too． One sibling might live in a stable and
close family in the first few years； another might be raised in a family crisis， with a
disappointed mother or an angry father．
Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918． But
more recently， researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting
force in each others’ lives． Dr． Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary
more quickly than their siblings． The reason for this might be that the later children aren’t getting
the same one-on-one time with parents． But that doesn’t mean that the younger children have
problems with language development．Later-borns don’t enjoy that much talking time with parents，
but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters， learning entire phrases and
getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between "I" and "me"．
A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of
play that helped them grow socially ．Love-hate relationships were common among the
children．Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the
other sibling pairs．
One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from
their siblings，particularly if they are close in age．Researchers have found that the first two
children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third． Girls
with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine than girls with
sisters． A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years， finding
that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in
increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
63．The underlined part "in a different family"(in Para．1) means " "．
A．in a different family environment B．in a different family tradition
C．in different family crises D．in different families
64．In terms of language development， later-borns ．
A．get their parents’ individual guidance B．learn a lot from their elder siblings
C．experience a lot of difficulties D．pick up words more quickly
65．What was found about fights among siblings?
A．Siblings hated fighting and loved playing．
B．Siblings in some families fought frequently．
C．Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships．
D．Siblings learned to get on together from fights．
66．The word "feminine" (in Para． 4) means " "．
A．having qualities of parents B．having qualities of women
C．having defensive qualities D．having extraordinary qualities

Brrriiinnng ．The alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the
morning．You jump out of bed， rush into the shower，into your clothes and out the door with
hardly a moment to think． A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing．Once at
the office，you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters．In that
sort of mood，who can get down to work，particularly some creative，original problem-solving
work?
The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote
flexible， open-minded thinking．Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re
unfocused． If you are one of those energetic morning people， your most inventive time comes in
the early evening when you are relaxed． Sleepy people’s lack of focus leads to an increase in
creative problem solving． By not giving yourself time to tune into your wandering mind， you’re
missing out on the surprising solutions it may offer．
The trip you take to work doesn’t help， either． The stress slows down the speed with which
signals travel between neurons (神经细胞)， making inspirations less likely to occur． And while
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
we all should read a lot about what’s going on in the world，it would not make you feel good for
sure， so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the day’s work is done．
So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for
creative problem solving? We’d set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed，
following our thoughts where they lead． We’d stand a little longer under the warm water of the
shower， stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation． We’d take
some deep breaths on our way to work， instead of complaining about heavy traffic． And once in
the office — after we get a cup of coffee — we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to
the funniest videos the web has to offer．
67．According to the author， we are more creative when we are ．
A．focused B．relaxed C．awake D．busy
68．What does the author imply about newspapers?
A．They are solution providers．
B．They are a source of inspiration．
C．They are normally full of bad news．
D．They are more educational than websites．
69．By "tune into your wandering mind" (in Para． 2)， the author means " "．
A．wander into the wild B．listen to a beautiful tune
C．switch to the traffic channel D．stop concentrating on anything
70．The author writes the last paragraph in order to ．
A．offer practical suggestions B．summarize past experiences
C．advocate diverse ways of life D．establish a routine for the future

D 项与画线词意思最接近。
58．A【解析】考查推理判断。最后一段作者说她写这篇文章的时候正在飞机上，这是他们
之前在"交通日"没有尝试的交通工具，是所有交通工具中最脏、污染最严重的。由此推
断，作者不赞成坐飞机。
【备注】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者和她哥哥小的时候，妈妈在"交通日"带他们尝试各
种交通工具，这些经历培养了作者探索世界的能力。
59．C【解析】考查细节理解。由第一段的第二句可知，Sophia 写这封信的目的是呼吁该大
学接收她学医，因此选C。
60．A【解析】考查细节理解。由第二段的最后一句可知，Lis Smith 是偶然发现这封信的，
对此她也感到很惊讶。由此可知A 项正确。
61．B【解析】考查细节理解。由第三段的第二句可知，尽管这封信没有成功地让她进入该
大学学医，但是它最终使得该大学设立了一个女子远程学习学位，由此可知选B。
62．D【解析】考查细节理解。从第三段最后一句可知，该大学在1892 年开始接收女性作
为全日制学生。
【备注】一个学生在苏格兰一所大学的档案中发现一封140 年前的信，写信的主人是
Sophia Jex-Blake，她呼吁该大学接收女生学习医学。这封信在当时掀起了一场高等教育革命。
63．A【解析】考查推理判断。通读全文可知，在同一个家庭中，第一个出生的孩子得到的
父母的关爱与后面的孩子不一样，并且在孩子的成长过程中父母也在成长改变，由此可
知，画线部分指的是不同的家庭环境，故选A。
64．B【解析】考查细节理解。由第二段的最后一句可知，后出生的孩子能从哥哥姐姐那里
学到很多东西，由此判断选B。
65．D【解析】考查推理判断。第三段说，孩子们之间的爱恨关系很常见，即使打斗最多的
兄弟姐妹，他们之间也有与别的兄弟姐妹一样多的积极的交流。由此推断，那些平时总
爱打架的兄弟姐妹，会在打斗中学习如何与他人友好相处。
66．B【解析】考查词义猜测。由语境可知，有兄弟的女孩比只有姐妹的女孩表现得更feminine，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
以尽可能显示其性别的差异，由此可推断画线词的含义是"女性的"，因此选B。
【备注】俗话说，一龙生九子，九子各不同。生长在同一个家庭的孩子，由于家庭环境
等因素的影响，长大之后各不相同。本文探讨了影响孩子成长的因素。
67．B【解析】考查细节理解。由第二段的第二、三句可知，当我们放松且注意力不集中的
时候，更容易产生有创意的想法。由此可知选B。
68．C【解析】考查推理判断。由第一段的倒数第二句和第三段的最后一句可知，作者认为
报纸上刊登的是令人沮丧的故事或者是对灾难的报道。因此作者建议，先把一天的工作
做完，再浏览新闻网站或报纸。由此可判断，作者觉得报纸充斥着不好的消息，因此选
C。
69．D【解析】考查推理判断。由第二段的最后两句可知，困倦的人不能集中注意力，而这
样会使他们更能创造性地解决问题，不给自己时间让思想放松，就得不到它提供的解决
问题的办法。因此其含义是D，不集中注意力。
70．A【解析】考查推理判断。最后一段是作者提出的一些建议，他告诉读者该如何放松自
己，比如把闹钟调得早一些，淋浴的时间长一些，堵车的时候就做深呼吸，到办公室先
别看新闻等。
【备注】俗话说，"一日之计在于晨"，可是实际上，如果早上闹钟一响，我们就赶紧起
床上班，这一系列让人紧张的事情会降低人的创造力。事实上，人越紧张，注意力越集中，
创造力与办事效率就越低。
72．more and more forests/trees (being)cut down

A
What makes a gift special?Is it the price you see on the gift receipt?Or is it the look on the
recipient’s face when they receive it that determines the true value?What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father．My dad is a hard person to buy for
because he never wants anything．I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom
saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my
phone that I had locked．The message was from my father．My eyes fell on a photo of a flower
taken in Wyoming，and underneath a poem by William Blake．The flower，a lone dandelion
standing against the bright blue sky，inspired me．My dad had been reciting those words to me
since I was a kid．That may even be the reason why I love writing．I decided that those words
would be my gift to my father．
I called back，I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift．I sent the
photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it．As I was
arranging the details another poem came to mind．The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe； my
dad recited it as much as he did the other．I typed that out as well and searched online for a
background to the words of it．The poem was focused around dreaming，and after searching I
found the perfect picture．The image was painted with blues and greens and purples，twisting
together to create the theme and wonder of a dream．As I watched both poems passing through the
printer，the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood，I felt that this was a gift
that my father would truly appreciate．
Christmas soon arrived．The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as he unwrapped those
swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame，I knew I had given the perfect gift．
56．The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was ．
A．doing shopping B．having a debate
C．reading a message D．leaving for Wyoming
57．The author’s inspiration for the gift came from ．
A．a photo of a flower B．a story about a kid
C．a call from the mother D．a text about Christmas
58．The underlined word "it"in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by ．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．the father B．the author C．William Blake D．Edgar Allan Poe
59．The author made the gift by ．
A．searching for the poems online B．drawing the background by hand
C．painting the letters in three colors D．matching the words with pictures
60．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To show how to design images for gifts．

C．To explain how computers help create gifts．
D．To describe the gifts the author has received．
B
Still seeking a destination for your weekend break?There are some places which are probably
a mere walk away from your college．
King’s Art Centre
A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most
interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere．This weekend sees the opening of an
exhibition of four local artists．
You could attend a class teaching you how to "learn from the masters"or get more creative
with paint — free of charge．
The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee．
The Botanic Garden
The Garden has over 8，000 plant species；it holds the research and teaching collection of
living plants for Cambridge University．
The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive．The African plant produces red flowers
above blue-green leaves，and is not one to miss．
Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula，a plant more commonly known as the
Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals．
The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts．Look for grass snakes in the lake．A snake
called "Hissing Sid"is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun．
Byron’s Pool
Many stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University．Arriving in
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
1805，he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of "mess and drunkenness"．However， it
seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough．I’m not just talking about
the pet bear he kept in his rooms．He spent a great deal of time walking in the village．
It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake，which is now
known as Byron’s Pool．A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire
countryside，the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields．The cries of
invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the
village for afternoon tea．If you don’t trust me，then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf —
over a century after Byron，she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool．
61．As mentioned in the passage，there is a small charge for ．
A．attending the masters’ class B．working with local artists
C．learning life drawing D．seeing an exhibition
62．"Torch Aloe"and "Venus Flytrap"are ．
A．common insects B．impressive plants
C．rarely-seen snakes D．wildlife-enthusiasts
63．We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ．
A．to fear pet bears B．to like walking
C．to be a heavy drinker D．to finish university in 1805
64．In the passage Byron’s Pool is described as a lake ．
A．surrounded by fields B．owned by Lord Byron
C．located in Grantchester D．discovered by Virginia Woolf
65．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Some places for weekend break． B．A way to become creative in art．
C．The colourful life in the countryside．D．Unknown stories of Cambridge University．
C
Harvard researchers have created a tough，low-cost，biodegradable(可生物降解的)material
inspired by insects’ hard outer shells．The material’s inventors say it has a number of possible uses
and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic．The material，
made from shrimp(虾)shells and proteins produced from silk，is called"shrilk"．It is thin，clear，
flexible and strong．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability．Plastic’s toughness and flexibility
represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and ‘60s．Decades later，however，
plastic’s very durability(耐用性)is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time
products such as plastic bags，or short-lived consumer goods，used in the home for a few years and
then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries．What is the point of making
something that lasts 1，000 years?
Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill，but its basic components are used as fertilizer(肥料)，
and so will enrich the soil．
Shrilk has great potential，the inventors said．Materials from which it is made are plentiful in
nature，found in everything ranging from shrimp shells，insect bodies to living plants．That makes
shrilk low cost，and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of
material．
Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab．The inventors said the material becomes flexible
when wet，so they’re exploring ways to use it in wet environments．They’re also developing
simpler production processes，which could be used for non-medical products，like for computer
cases and other products inside the home．They’re even exploring combining it with other
materials，like carbon fibers，to give it new properties．
66．Paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shrilk’s ．
A．remarkable design B．interesting name
C．major features D．basic elements
67．What has become a concern about plastic?
A．Using it properly． B．Producing it cheaply．
C．Developing its properties quickly． D．Evaluating its contributions fairly．
68．According to the inventors，shrilk has great potential partly because ．
A．it can help plastic degrade B．it can be found in living things
C．its mass production has been realized D．its raw materials are abundant in nature
69．What are the inventors doing in the lab?
A．Replacing carbon fibers with shrilk．
B．Testing shrilk’s use in wet conditions．
C．Making shrilk out of used household goods．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．Improving shrilk’s flexibility for medical purposes．
70．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Recent Progress in Environmental Protection
B．Benefits of Insects in Scientific Research
C．The Harm of One-time Products
D．A Possible Alternative to Plastic
Part IV Writing (45 marks)
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.
Since the earliest civilizations ，people have controlled rivers to meet society’s
demands．Today，rivers are controlled for many reasons，primarily to maintain reliable water
supplies for daily，agricultural and industrial needs，for power generation，for navigation(航行)，
and to prevent flooding．
River control is achieved by channelization，a term that covers a range of river engineering
works，including widening，deepening，straightening and stabilization of banks，and by the
construction of dams．
An important period of channelization took place in Europe during the 19thcentury，when
many large rivers were straightened and their beds deepened．One of the most dramatically
changed was the Tisza River，a branch of the Danube that flows through Hungary．The controlling
of the Tisza，designed to reduce flooding and make land for agriculture，included cutting off more
than 100 meanders(河曲)，shortening the river’s length by nearly 400 kilometers．
One of the most common ways in which people control rivers is by damming them． The
past 50 years or so has seen an increase in dam construction worldwide，and at the beginning of
the 21stcentury，there were about 800，000 dams globally，some towering more than 200 meters
in height．
Despite their successes，many dams also cause significant environmental changes that prove
harmful．Some particularly deep reservoirs(水库)can bring about earthquakes due to the stress on
their bottom rocks caused by huge volumes of water．Downstream of a reservoir，the river is
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
certainly influenced in many ways：water volume，speed and quality are all affected，leading to
changes in the landscape and among plants and animals．
Section B (10 mark)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information
given in the passage.
A wise teacher once told me that every teenager needs to experience a not-so-fun first job
from working at a grocery store to the fast food industry．
Now I still remember my first day at a fast food restaurant three years ago．I wanted to save
up money and buy my own car， so I applied everywhere I could that summer． The restaurant
called me right away and I thought to myself，this is going to be easy． Within four hours of my
first shift(轮班)． I had angry customers who complained how slow I was ． I watched in fear as
a kid spilled his milk everywhere，and I heard the words that no 16-year-old boy or anyone for that
matter wants to hear："Mike， there’s a problem in the men’s bathroom and you might want gloves
for this one．"I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a
picnic． The manager expected a clean environment and，particularly， fast service with a friendly
smile．
Over three years later I still work at that restaurant whenever I go home during vacations．I
love my co-workers there and all the customers know who I am．Every morning the same senior
citizens come in and get their morning coffees． They chat with us workers and joke around．Our
smiles have just as much to do with them making us a part of their everyday lives as the coffee
does．
From my first job at the restaurant，I learned teamwork and devotion． I also learned staying
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
positive no matter how rough things seem to get． I will forever carry the experience that I gained
at the restaurant with me as I go forward in my life．

16．90 17．month 18．Reference 19．New Year’s Day 20．ID card
21．C【解析】本题考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，do 与work 之间是逻辑上的动宾
关系，所以需要用被动形式；"需要被……"可以用"need doing…"或"need to be done…"
的形式表示。故C 项正确。
22．A【解析】本题考查动词的时态和语态。根据空后面的later 一词可知，此处应用一般
将来时态，又因repay 与work 之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用被动时态，故A 项正确。
句意：别担心。你现在的艰苦努力今后会得到回报的。
23．B【解析】本题考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，use 与Time 之间是逻辑上的动宾
关系，所以应用use 的过去分词形式。句意：如果利用得恰到好处，时间就是银行里的
钱。
24．B【解析】本题考查副词。句意：骑自行车是一种很好的运动；而且，又不污染空气。
根据句意可知，此处应用besides，意为"除此之外，而且"。nevertheless"然而"；otherwise"
否则"；therefore"因此"。
25．C【解析】本题考查动词的时态。本句为"祈使句+and+陈述句"句式，结合句意"关上你
后面的恐惧之门，你将会发现信念之门在你面前打开"可知，应用一般将来时。
26．C【解析】本题考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知， you have lived there for a short
or a long time 是主语从句，It 在此是形式主语，根据空后的or 可知，此处应用whether。
句意：这个村子里的每个人都很友好。不管你在那里住的时间长或短都没关系。
27．D【解析】本题考查动词的时态。根据空处后面的soon 可知，此处表示将来，且引号
中的内容是"他"当时想法的直接表达，故可用现在进行时表示一般将来时，D 项正确。
句意：他紧张地等待着，心里想，"这一时刻很快就会来临的。"
28．A【解析】本题考查状语从句。句意：虽然我总感觉这次考试我能及格，但是我从来没
有想到我会得A。根据句意可知，前后两句之间是转折关系，所以选While，意为"尽
管，虽然"。
29．D【解析】本题考查虚拟语气。根据"I am too busy now"可知，此处是对现在情况的虚拟，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
故从句用过去时，D 项正确。
30．B【解析】本题考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知，此句是一个强调句，其结构为"it
is/was…that…"，被强调的部分是"not until I came here"。如果将该强调句还原成正常语
序应该是：I didn’t realize this place was famous for not only its beauty but also its weather
until I came here．
31．A【解析】本题考查非谓语动词。根据句中的"last night"及"was followed"可知，start 这
个动作已经发生，所以不能用不定式形式，又因lecture 与start 之间是逻辑上的主谓关
系，故应用starting。
32．A【解析】本题考查状语从句。空后面的hard 是副词，所以选However，However 在此
引导让步状语从句。句意：不论你怎么努力，你如果不减少进食的量就很难减肥。
33．C【解析】本题考查动词的时态。for years 是解题的关键，for+一段时间与现在完成时
连用表示动作对现在造成了影响，符合本题句意。所以选C 项。
34．D【解析】本题考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，" even the small details of life should
be considered"是定语从句，且从句中缺少地点状语，故用in which。
35．D【解析】本题考查主谓一致。evidence 作"证据，证明"讲时是不可数名词，故第一空
用shows；increasing use of chemicals in farming 是动名词短语作主语，谓语用单数，故
第二空用is。
36．C【解析】第一段中的"asked"是线索提示，所以此空选C 项，即：这样的问题以前从来
就没有人问(asked)过。
37．B【解析】上文提到有个女孩问"我"问题，故此处应选B 项，即：她真诚地等着"我"的
回答(an answer)。
38．D【解析】本题空后面的"saw"是解题依据。她点点头离开了，而我在想是否人们看"我
"(looked at)的时候看到的只是有缝隙的牙齿。
39．A【解析】根据上下文内容可知，此处表示"我"又开始考虑(consider)"我"的牙齿。43 空
后面的"consider"是线索提示。
40．B【解析】从下文内容可知，妈妈注意到(noticed)了这一切。
41．A【解析】妈妈尽力说服我，这没有什么可担忧(worry about)的。
42．C【解析】根据本题空后面的内容可知，此处表示妈妈说服"我"应该诚实，不要为了美
而去做手术。
43．A【解析】妈妈的话(words)使"我"认真地考虑"我"的牙齿问题。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
44．D【解析】根据上下文内容可知，此处表示它已经成为了"我"身份(identity)的一部分了。
45．C【解析】事实(truth)是人无完人。
46．D【解析】四个选项中只有D 项的"beauty"与"ugliness"相对应。当所有的丑陋都被清除
掉时，所有的美也就不复存在了。
47．B【解析】因此要是那个女孩再(again)问"我"牙齿的事，"我"会真诚地回答道："你知道
吗?它真的挺可爱的。"
【备注】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者以自己的切身经历，让我们明白了这样一个道理
——金无足赤，人无完人。
48．we【解析】根据第一句和空后面的"our"及49 空前面的"we"可知答案。
49．should【解析】结合前一句内容可以判断出，此空应该填一个情态动词，这样可以与上
文的"have to"对应。
50．a【解析】many times a day"每天很多次"，不定冠词a 在此处意为"每一"，相当于every
或per。
51．others【解析】空后面的"Others"是答案提示。Some… Others…Still others…"一些……一
些……还有一些……"。此处是在列举人们保持联系的不同方式。
52．in【解析】根据语境可知，此处表示在信封里(in)附上照片或有趣的文章。
53．and【解析】write 和send 这两个动词，表示顺承关系，故此空填and。
54．not【解析】我们打什么样的电话或寄什么样的信并不(not)重要，重要的是我们让别人
知道我们在关心着他们。
55．What【解析】 is important"是主语从句且从句中缺主语，故此空填What。
【备注】朋友需要常走动，友谊需要多接触，任何一种形式的沟通都很重要。
56．C【解析】考查细节理解。根据第二段的第三句"I pulled out my phone to read a text
message…I had locked．"以及后半部分的内容可知，作者是在看短信时突然看到了一张
鲜花的照片而获得了灵感。
57．A【解析】考查细节理解。根据第二段的倒数第四、五两句可知，作者的灵感来自于一
张鲜花的照片，即A 项正确。
58．D【解析】考查代词指代。根据画线词前面的"The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe"
可知答案。作者在安排细节时突然又想到了一首诗，这首诗是Edgar Allan Poe 创作的，
故选D。
59．D【解析】考查细节理解。根据第三段画线词"it"后面的"The poem was focused around
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
dreaming， and after searching I found the perfect picture．"可知答案。
60．B【解析】考查写作意图。文章第一段就以反问的方式提出：到底什么样的礼物是最有
价值的?接下来作者叙述了自己自制的贺卡让爸爸非常高兴，其哲理就不言而喻了，即：
只要用心去制作礼物，一定能让接受者喜欢。
【备注】这是一篇记叙文，父亲本来是一个很难选送圣诞礼物的人，但是今年"我"送给
他的礼物却让他很喜欢。
61．C【解析】考查细节理解。题干中的"a small charge"是解题的关键，由广告中King’s Art
Centre 部分中的"The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small
fee．"可知选C。
62．B【解析】考查细节理解。根据The Botanic Garden 的介绍中的第二段和第三段可知，
"Torch Aloe"和"Venus Flytrap"是两种令人印象深刻的植物。
63．B【解析】考查推理判断。根据Byron’s Pool的介绍中的"He spent a great deal of time walking
in the village．"可知，Byron 喜欢散步。
64．A【解析】考查细节理解。由Byron’s Pool 的介绍中的"the pool is surrounded by beautiful
circular paths around the fields．"可知应该选择A 项。
65．A【解析】考查主旨大意。广告的第一段就点明了主旨：介绍学生周末休息时的理想去
处。故A 项作为本文标题最合适。
【备注】这是一则广告，介绍了学生周末时比较理想的三个去处。
66．C【解析】考查细节理解。由第一段中的"tough， low-cost， biodegradable(可生物降解
的)" "more environmentally friendly"" thin， clear， flexible and strong"都是shrilk 的特征。
67．A【解析】考查推理判断。由第二段的第三句可推知，如何恰当地使用塑料是个令人忧
虑的问题。
68．D【解析】考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"Materials from which it is made are plentiful in
nature"可知答案。plentiful 与D 项的abundant 是同义词。
69．B【解析】考查细节理解。根据最后一段的前两句可知，这种材料在潮湿的情况下会变
得易弯曲，发明者正在探索在潮湿的环境中使用它的方法。
70．D【解析】考查标题概括。文章的第一段开篇点题，主要介绍一种新型材料，这种材料
有望替代难降解的塑料。故选D 项。
【备注】本文是一篇说明文，向我们介绍了一种新型环保低成本的材料，这种材料有望
替代难降解的塑料。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
71．River Control【解析】考查信息概括。文章开篇点题，第一段的第一句概括了全文主旨。
72．Reasons【解析】考查信息概括．（3）空和（5）空前面的不定式是解题的关键，再根据
第一段中的"for many reasons"可知，这里讲的是控制河流的原因。
73．supply【解析】考查信息转换。根据第一段第二句话中的"primarily to maintain reliable water
supplies"可知答案。此处将名词supplies 转换为动词。
74．agriculture【解析】考查信息转换。根据第一段中的"for daily， agricultural and industrial
needs"可知答案。
75．flooding【解析】考查直接信息。根据第一段最后一句中的"to prevent flooding"可知答案。
prevent 是stop 的同义词。
76．deepening【解析】考查直接信息。根据第二段的"including widening， deepening，
straightening"可知答案。
77．stabilizing【解析】考查信息转换。该空后面的river banks 是定位词，根据第二段的

What Would You Want Most on a Desert Island?
This month’s survey shows people worldwide have a natural understanding of what they
would need most if left alone on a desert island： Another person． And one they know
well． Respondents (调查对象) in all 16 countries surveyed said their spouse (配偶) or partner
would be their first choice to have with them． Perhaps this makes sense： An MP3 player can’t
help you find drinking water， your dog can’t help you start a fire and who knows if George
Clooney or Penélope Cruz has taken courses in wilderness survival training? Let’s just hope the
SOS sign you two build gets spotted sooner rather than later!
Spouse/Partner
82% of the South African women surveyed would most want their husband/partner with them，
while just 45% of the Indian women surveyed agreed．
Clooney/Cruz
27% of Russian men surveyed would want a celebrity (名人) along．Only 2% of the Mexican
men agreed． Less than 18% of women worldwide chose this option．
MP3 Player
This was second choice overall，particularly among Malaysian men，with 32% saying they’d
most want an MP3 player with their favorite songs．Just 5% each of Australian and American men
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
agreed．
Dog
In France，28% of respondents older than 45 would most want to be left alone with their dog，
while not a single Russian or Malaysian in that age group surveyed would most want Fido along．
56．According to the survey，people left alone on a desert island would most want their ．
A．MP3 player B．dog C．spouse/partner D．celebrity
57．Which of the following is true about George Clooney?
A．He has been trained in wilderness survival．
B．He may not be able to help you survive．
C．He does not think Roseane is beautiful．
D．He is the choice of most South African women．
58．The survey results are analyzed in terms of the respondents’ ．
A．sex，age and nationality B．race，nationality and sex
C．marriage，age and race D．age，sex and marriage

Deputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan sees an epidemic (流行病) sweeping across
America’s farmland． It has little to do with the usual challenges， such as flood， rising fuel
prices and crop-eating insects． The country’s farmers are getting older， and there are fewer
people standing in line to take their place． National agricultural census (普查) figures show that
the fastest-growing group of farmers is the part over 65．Merrigan is afraid the average age will be
even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed．
Merrigan，a former college professor， is making stops at universities across the country in
hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture． Aside from trying to
stop the graying of America’s farmers， her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put
agriculture at No． 1 on a list of "useless" college degrees． Top federal agriculture officials are
talking about the posting， and it has the attention of agricultural organizations across the country．
"There couldn’t be anything that’s more incorrect，" Merrigan said．"We know that there
aren’t enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in American agriculture．"
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
In addition， a growing world population that some experts predict will require 70% more
food production by 2050， she said．
"I truly believe we’re at a golden age of agriculture． Global demand is at an all-time record
high， and global supplies are at all-time record lows，" said Matt Rush， director of the Texas
Farm Bureau． "Production costs are going to be valuable enough that younger people are going
to have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture． "
The Department of Agriculture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and at
increasing interest in locally grown food．The National Young Farmers’ Coalition has also been
pushing for state and federal policy changes to make it easier for new farmers．
Ryan Best，president of Future Farmers of America，has been living out of a suitcase，
traveling the country and visiting with high school students about careers in agriculture．The
21-year-old Best hopes his message — that this is a new time in agriculture — will motivate the
next generation to turn around the statistics． "Never before have we had the innovations (创新) in
technology which have led to agriculture in this country being the most efficient it has ever been，
" he said． "There’s really a place for everybody to fit in．"
59．What is the new challenge to American agriculture?
A．Fewer and older farmers． B．Higher fuel prices．
C．More natural disasters． D．Lower agricultural output．
60．Why is Merrigan visiting universities across the country?
A．To draw federal agriculture officials’ attention．
B．To select qualified agriculture graduates．
C．To clarify a recent blog posting．
D．To talk more students into farming careers．
61．According to Matt Rush，American agriculture will provide opportunities for younger people
because ．
A．the government will cover production costs
B．global food supplies will be even lower
C．investment in agriculture will be profitable
D．America will increase its food export
62．What do the underlined words "to turn around the statistics" in the last paragraph mean?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．To re-analyze the result of the national census．
B．To increase agricultural production．
C．To bring down the average age of farmers．
D．To invest more in agriculture．
C
Medical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure． One solution to this problem
is to put the drugs inside a capsule， protecting them from the body — and the body from them —
until they can be released at just the right spot． There are lots of ways to trigger (引发) this
release， including changing temperature， acidity， and so on． But triggers can come with their
own risks — burns， for example． Now， researchers in California have designed what could be
a harmless trigger to date： shining near-infrared light (NIR， 近红外线) on the drug in the
capsule．
The idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isn’t new． Researchers around the
globe have developed polymers (聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when they
absorb either ultraviolet (UV， 紫外线) or visible light． But tissues also readily absorb UV and
visible light， which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin， where the light
can reach the capsule． NIR light largely passes through tissues， so researchers have tried to use
it as a trigger． But few compounds (化合物) absorb NIR well and go through chemical changes．
That changed last year when Adah Almutairi， a chemist at the University of California， San
Diego， reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when it
absorbs NIR light．Their polymer used a commercially available NIR-absorbing group called
o-nitrobenzyl (ONB)． When they catch the light， ONB groups fall off the polymer， leading to
its breakdown． But ONB is only a so-so NIR absorber， and it could be poisonous to cells when
it separates from the polymer．
So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules that’s even
better． This one consists of a long chain of compounds called cresol groups linked in a
polymer．Cresol contains reactive(易反应的) components that make it highly unstable in its
polymeric form，a feature Almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage．After polymerizing
the cresols，they cap each reactive component with a light-absorbing compound called Bhc．When
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
the Bhcs absorb NIR light，the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two
short chains．Shining additional light continues this breakdown， potentially releasing any drugs in
the capsule．What’s more，Almutairi says，Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB
and is not poisonous to cells．
63．According to the passage，which of the following could be the best trigger?
A．Temperature change． B．NIR light． C．Acidity change． D．UV light．
64．Why is ONB unsatisfactory?
A．It breaks down when it absorbs NIR light．
B．It falls off the polymer and triggers drug release．
C．It has not come onto the market up till now．
D．It is not effective enough and could be poisonous．
65．Which word can be used to complete the following process of changes?
A．protected B．formed C．exposed D．combined
D
Franz Kafka wrote that "a book must be the ax (斧子) for the frozen sea inside us．" I once
shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders，and it didn’t seem to require any
explanation．
We’d just finished John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men． When we read the end
together out loud in class， my toughest boy， a star basketball player， wept a little， and so did
I． "Are you crying?" one girl asked， as she got out of her chair to take a closer look． "I am，
" I told her， "and the funny thing is I’ve read it many times．"
But they understood．When George shoots Lennie，the tragedy is that we realize it was
always going to happen．In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school，
I’ve taught kids with imprisoned parents， abusive parents， irresponsible parents； kids who are
parents themselves； kids who are homeless； kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods． They
understand， more than I ever will， the novel’s terrible logic — the giving way of dreams to fate
(命运)．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
For the last seven years，I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher，reading classic
works of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight．I originally proposed
this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred
out of a selective high school — one that often attracts the literary-minded children of
Manhattan’s upper classes — into a less competitive setting． The daughter of immigrants， with
a father in prison， she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates． I thought additional
"cultural capital" could help students like her develop better in high school， where they would
unavoidably meet， perhaps for the first time， students who came from homes lined with
bookshelves， whose parents had earned Ph． D．’s．
Along with Of Mice and Men， my groups read： Sounder， The Red Pony， Lord of the
Flies， Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth． The students didn’t always read from the expected point
of view． About The Red Pony， one student said， "it’s about being a man， it’s about
manliness．" I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth， nor had I heard
Lady Macbeth’s soliloquies (独白) read as raps (说唱)， but both made sense； the interpretations
were playful， but serious． Once introduced to Steinbeck’s writing， one boy went on to read The
Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that "all these people hate each other，
and they’re all white．" His historical view was broadening， his sense of his own country
deepening． Year after year， former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in
their first year in college as a result of the classes．
Year after year， however， we are increasing the number of practice tests． We are trying to
teach students to read increasingly complex texts， not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text
complexity． Yet， we cannot enrich (充实) the minds of our students by testing them on texts that
ignore their hearts． We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse． We may succeed
in raising test scores， but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it
belongs to them．
66．The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mean that a book helps to ．
A．realize our dreams B．give support to our life
C．smooth away difficulties D．awake our emotions
67．Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men?
A．Because they spent much time reading it．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．Because they had read the novel before．
C．Because they came from a public school．
D．Because they had similar life experiences．
68．The girl left the selective high school possibly because ．
A．she was a literary-minded girl B．her parents were immigrants
C．she couldn’t fit in with her class D．her father was then in prison
69．To the author’s surprise， the students read the novels ．
A．creatively B．passively C．repeatedly D．carelessly
70．The author writes the passage mainly to ．
A．introduce classic works of literature
B．advocate teaching literature to touch the heart
C．argue for equality among high school students
D．defend the current testing system

"Happiness Advantage" Effect
In July 2010 Burt’s Bees， a personal-care products company， was going through enormous
change as it began a global expansion into 19 new countries． In this kind of high-pressure
situation， many leaders bother their assistants with frequent meetings or flood their in-boxes with
urgent demands． In doing so， managers lift everyone’s anxiety level， which activates the part
of the brain that processes threats and steals resources from the prefrontal cortex (大脑皮层)，
which is responsible for effective problem solving．
Burt’s Bees’s then-CEO， John Wolfgang， took a different approach． Each day， he’d send
out an e-mail praising a team member for work related to global marketing． He’d interrupt his
own presentations to remind his managers to talk with their teams about the company’s
values． He asked me to further a three-hour session with employees on happiness in the course of
the expansion effort． As one member of the senior team told me a year later， Wolfgang’s
emphasis on developing positive leadership kept his managers actively involved and loyal as they
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
successfully transformed the company into a global one．
That outcome shouldn’t surprise us． Research shows that when people work with a positive
mind-set (思维模式)，performance on nearly every level — productivity， creativity，
involvement — improves ． Yet happiness is perhaps the most misunderstood driver of
performance． For one， most people believe that success comes before happiness． "Once I get
a promotion， I’ll be happy，" they think． Or， "Once I hit my sales target， I’ll feel great．"
But because success is a moving target — as soon as you hit your target， you raise it again — the
happiness that results from success does not last long．
In fact， it works the other way around： People who have a positive mind-set perform better
in the face of challenge． I call this the "happiness advantage" — every business outcome shows
improvement when the brain is positive． I’ve observed this effect in my role as a researcher and
lecturer in 48 countries on the connection between employee happiness and success． And I’m not
alone： In an analysis of 225 academic studies， researchers found strong evidence of
cause-and-effect relationship between life satisfaction and successful business outcomes．
Another common misunderstanding is that our genetics，our environment，or a combination
of the two determines how happy we are．To be sure，both factors have an impact．But one’s
general sense of well-being is surprisingly unstable．The habits you form，the way you interact
with colleagues，how you think about stress — all these can be managed to increase your
happiness and your chances of success．

意为"主动提议，建议"，符合语境。
22．B【解析】考查定语从句。分析句子成分可知，" urgently needed clean water， medicine
and shelter to survive"是定语从句，修饰先行词people，从句中缺少主语，故用关系代词
who。
23．D【解析】考查代词的用法。根据句中表示转折的连词but 可知，此处应用表示全部否
定意义的代词，所以排除A 项和B 项；neither 表示"两者都不"，此处并不表示两者，

Conflicts with others are common in everyday life． During the basketball game yesterday
afternoon， Su Hua and Li Jiang bumped into each other， trying to catch the ball． Then they
started shouting and yelling， and it turned into a horrible quarrel．
To be honest， it was Su’s fault but Li was also to blame — they were not calm enough and
both said some really mean things． They cared too much about winning and losing． As a matter
of fact， blocking， pushing and bumping are just part of a tough game．
To avoid such conflicts， we should be kind to one another， which is essential to enjoying a
harmonious life． It is also a virtue to forgive and forget， especially in such a competitive and
stressful society． Instead of blaming each other， we should communicate more and put
ourselves in others’ place．
Don’t be self-centered and try to be considerate． We must learn to handle conflicts calmly
and wisely．

It was a 53 to learn， I felt． At no age need one have to beg for a 54 if one has

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
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 father’s 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 centre 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．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
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(目的地)： MARS． RETRIEVE DATE：
2025．"

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．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The theme： The main theme is a teenage search 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 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．"

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 largest and most
well-known provider of tutor services internationally and has been operating for 25 years．
Emily and Sarah have been matched since March 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
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
a part of it． I thought it would be fun for me to get involved in making time to do something
because sometimes it’s all work and no play．"

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 planes fly people
from 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
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
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 windows 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 passengers move 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 cannot 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 the 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 told． Perhaps those first horsemen， riding free across the wild，
open plains， were enjoying a better world than the one we know today． They could travel at will，
and the clock was not their master．
71．What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1?
A．Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages．
B．The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short．
C．The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams．
D．Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place．
72．How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?
A．By giving instructions． B．By analyzing cause and effect．
C．By following the order of time． D．By giving examples．
73．According to Paragraph 3，passengers are turning back to modern high-speed trains
because ．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．they pay less for the tickets
B．they feel safer during the travel
C．they can enjoy higher speed of travel
D．they don’t have to waste time being "processed"
74．What does the last sentence of the passage mean?
A．They could enjoy free and relaxing travel．
B．They needed the clock to tell the time．
C．They preferred traveling on horseback．
D．They could travel with their master．
75．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Air travel benefits people and industries．
B．Train travel has some advantages over air travel．
C．Great changes have taken place in modern travel．
D．The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost．

When Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land， the middle-aged writer
was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it．．． The townspeople never
forgot the rescue and came to help their most famous neighbor．
J．D．Salinger：A Life by Kenneth Slawenski(Random House，$27)
Mystery(疑案小说)
"You’re a smart boy． Benny’s death was no accident， and you’re the only one who saw it
happen． Do you think the murderer should get away with it?"The boy was staring stubbornly at
his lap again．
A thought suddenly occurred to Annika．"Did you．．． You recognized the man in the car，
didn’t you?"
The boy hesitated， twisting his fingers． "Maybe，"he said quietly．

She wants to say to him what she has learned， none of it in class：Some women are born
stupid， and some women are too smart for their own good． Some women are born to give， and
some women only know how to take． Some women learn who they want to be from their mothers，
some who they don’t want to be． Some mothers suffer so their daughters won’t． Some mothers
love so their daughters won’t．
You Are Free by Danzy Senna(Riverhead Books， $15)

Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions (使命)often work very long days． Tasks are
scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work． This type of
schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS)． ISS
crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year． They work five days on and
two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible． Weekends
give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework． They can communicate
with family and friends by email， Internet phone and through private video conferences．
While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit， there are many familiar
activities that they can still enjoy． Before a mission， the family and friends of each ISS
crewmember put together a collection of family photos， messages， videos and reading material
for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth． During
their mission， the crew also receives care packages with CDs， books， magazines， photos and
letters． And as from early 2010， the Internet became available on the ISS， giving astronauts the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
chance to do some "Web surfing (冲浪)" in their personal time． Besides relaxing with these more
common entertainments， astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space．
Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the
window and stare at the universe and the Earth． Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet
several times each day， and every moment offers a new view of the Earth’s vast land mass and
oceans．
60．What does the word "mimic" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Find． B．Copy． C．Change． D．Lose．
61．Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS?
A．They are caring and thoughtful．
B．They are worried and upset．
C．They are impatient and annoyed．
D．They are excited and curious．
62．In the final paragraph， the author shows that astronauts ．
A．get more pleasure in space than on the Earth
B．find living in space a bit boring and tiring
C．regard space life as common
D．love to see the Earth from space
63．The passage mainly discusses how astronauts ．
A．work for longer missions in space B．connect with people on the Earth
C．observe the Earth from space D．spend their free time in space

If Confucius (孔子)were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with
a big cake， there would be a lot of candles． He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put
them out．
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day， few people in the
United States will give him a passing thought． It’s nothing personal． Most Americans don’t even
remember the birthdays of their own national heroes．
But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius． In many ways he has
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China．
In the past two decades， the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in
Western universities． More recently， the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in
more than 80 countries． These schools teach both Chinese language and culture． The main
courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art， history and philosophy (哲学)． Some
social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to
make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy． Students in the United States， at the same
time， are racing to learn Chinese． So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an
equal power with the United States． Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading
books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers．
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well．
Today China attracts the West more than ever， and it will need more teachers to introduce
Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．
As for the old thinker， he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West， even if his
birthday is．
64．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ．
A．provide some key facts about Confucius
B．attract the readers’ interest in the subject
C．show great respect for the ancient thinker
D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
65．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ．
A．have a great interest in studying Chinese
B．take an active part in Chinese competitions
C．try to get high scores in Chinese exams
D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese
66．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Forgotten Wisdom in America B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C．Chinese Culture for Westerners D．Old Thinker with a Big Future
67．The passage is likely to appear in ．
A．a biography B．a history paper C．a newspaper D．a philosophy textbook

Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe， So All May Eat (SAME) in downtown Denver， the
spirit of generosity (慷慨) is instantly noticeable： A donation box stands in place of a cash
register． Customers here pay only what they can afford， no questions asked．
A risky business plan， perhaps， but SAME Cafe has done one unchangeable thing in the
Mile High City for six years： Open only at midday， the restaurant provides poor local people
with healthy， delicious lunches six days a week． Those unable to pay for their meals can instead
volunteer as waiters and waitresses， and dishwashers， or look after the buildings and equipment
for the cafe．
"It’s based on trust， and it’s working all right，" says co-owner Brad Birky， who started the
cafe in 2006 with his wife Libby． Previously volunteering at soup kitchens， the Birkys were
dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there．
"We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable， regardless
of their circumstances，" Birky says． SAME’s special lunch menu changes daily and most food
materials are natural and grown by local farmers．
The cafe now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day． And the spirit of
generosity behind the project appears to be spreading． In early 2007， one volunteer who had
cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said goodbye to the Birkys． "He said he was
going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane cleanup，" says Birky．
68．What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?
A．They refused to have volunteers．
B．They offered low quality food．
C．They provided customers with a good environment．
D．They closed down because of poor management．
69．According to the passage， which of the following is TRUE?
A．The customers who cannot pay can work as volunteers instead．
B．More volunteers will go to New Orleans for the hurricane cleanup．
C．Many new cafes will be opened to offer free lunches in the town．
D．The lunch menu has remained the same since the cafe was started．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
70．The author’s attitude towards running such a cafe is ．
A．unfavorable B．approving C．doubtful D．cautious

How to Make Friends
Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends． Good
friendship has many benefits． It offers companionship， improves self-worth and promotes good
health． There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town， or
changed our jobs or schools． Such changes often leave us without a friend． 71 But for many
of us the process is difficult and requires courage． Below are some helpful suggestions on how to
make and keep friends．
1．Associate with others．
The first step to making friends is associating with other people． You can go to public places
to meet new people． Besides， you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active
member of such places．
2．Start a conversation．
Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends． 72 You
can always start the conversation． Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating
with other people．
3． 73
Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests
would always bring you and your friend together． Hanging out will always be a pleasant
experience．
4．Let it grow．
It is a good thing to stay in touch． However， try not to press your new friend with calls，
messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your
friend． 74 The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally．
5．Enjoy your friendship．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves． 75 Try
not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be． Become the kind of friend
you will want your friend to be to you．
A． Be cheerful．
B． Do things together．
C． Do not wait to be spoken to．
D． Try not to find fault with your friends．
E． Making new friends comes easy for some people．

Dear Diana，
Thank you for the lovely day we have with you． It was so kind for you to let us bring Anne’s
friend， Gina． Unfortunate， the only problem was the journey home． There had been a terrible
accident on the highway and， for a result， there was a long line of traffic for at least six mile． In
the end， we drove to a service station and waited there unless the road was clear． In the car park
here Gina nearly got knocked over as car drove out far too quickly from behind a lorry． They
finally dropped Gina off at her parents’ and made our own way to home．
Much love，

2012 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(辽宁卷)
英语答案
1-5 CABCA 6-10 CBBCC 11-15 ABBAC 16-20 BAACA
21．C【解析】考查冠词的用法。句意：我醒来的时候头很痛，不过，到晚上的时候疼痛感
已经消失了。headache 用作可数名词，故第一空用不定冠词a 表示泛指；by the evening
表示"到晚上的时候"，故第二空用the。
22．B【解析】考查副词辨析。句意：我们原先经常见面，但是从去年开始我就一直没有他
的消息了。A"特别，尤其"；B"有规律地，经常"；C"尤其"；D"大约，大概"。根据句意
可知选B。
23．D【解析】考查交际用语。句意：——实在对不起，打扰您一下。我能用用您的手机吗?
情况太紧急了。——好的，当然可以。A 表示"很乐意效劳"，B"别着急"，C 用于回答
对方的道歉，都不符合语境。D 表示同意某人做某事，故选D。
24．C【解析】考查情态动词。句意：我们的一条规则就是，每个学生在校期间都必须穿校
服。shall 用于第三人称，在条约、规定、法令等文件中表示命令或规定，故选C。
25．B【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：这老两口常常在晚饭后到公园里散步，他们的宠物
狗则在后面跟着。在with 复合结构中，dog 与follow 是逻辑上的主谓关系，因此这里
用现在分词表主动。
26．A【解析】考查动词短语辨析。句意：Rod 喜欢把钟表拆开，但是他从来没能再把它们
组装起来过。从后面的put them together 可判断选A，A 项表示"拆卸，拆开(机器等)"。
27．C【解析】考查介词辨析。句意：Well 旅馆位于湖的另一边，在主干道旁边一个僻静的
地方。这里用介词off 表示"离开，偏离"。
28．A【解析】考查代词。句意：你如果要到报摊买今天的报纸，能不能帮我买一份?本空
的代词替代前面的可数名词paper(报纸)，表示同类事物中的"一个"，因此用one。
29．D【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：这台机器很容易操作，任何人都能在几分钟内学会
使用它。这里用"主语+be 动词+形容词+不定式"结构，此时不定式用主动形式表示被动
含义。因此选D。

户看宇宙和地球，每个瞬间他们看到的地球的陆地与海洋的景色都不同。由此推断他们

第二节 书面表达
【范文赏读】：
Dear Editor，
As a student reader， I am writing to talk about the English textbooks published by your
house． These books have many advantages． One of them is that we can find a variety of topics，
such as science， culture and history． These topics， I think， are very popular with us
students． What’s more， along with the texts there are many beautiful and colorful pictures，
which can help us understand English better． Even the students who used to dislike English have
turned out to be interested in the subject． However， some of the texts have too many new words
and expressions which are hard for us． Therefore， I’d like to suggest changing them into easier
ones．
Best regards，
Li Hua

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place．Now it is an ecological
disaster area．Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries
might learn from its mistakes．
For thousands of years， Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru， far from
western civilization． The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798．He was the British
captain of the Hunter， a whaling ship． He called the island Pleasant Island．
However， because it was very remote， Nauru had little communication with Europeans at
first． Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit， bringing guns and alcohol． These
elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island． A ten-year civil
war started， which reduced the population from 1，400 to 900．
Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered
phosphate(磷酸盐)on the island．In fact，it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate，
which is a very important fertilizer for farming．The company began mining the phosphate．
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground；it is a strip mine．When a company strip-mines，
it removes the top layer of soil．Then it takes away the material it wants．Strip-mining totally
destroys the land．Gradually，the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon．
In 1968，Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world． Every year the government
received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate．
Unfortunately，the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars．In
addition，they used millions more dollars for personal expenses．Soon people realized that they
had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out．Ninety percent of their island was
destroyed and they had nothing．By 2000，Nauru was almost financially ruined．Experts say that
it would take approximately$433，600，000 and more than 20 years to repair the island．This will
probably never happen．
56．What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To seek help for Nauru’s problems．
B．To give a warning to other countries．
C．To show the importance of money．
D．To tell a heartbreaking story of a war．
57．What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．Rich and powerful． B．Modern and open．
C．Peaceful and attractive． D．Greedy and aggressive．
58．The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from ．
A．soil pollution B．phosphate overmining
C．farming activity D．whale hunting
59．Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem?
A．Its leaders misused the money．
B．It spent too much repairing the island．
C．Its phosphate mining cost much money．
D．It lost millions of dollars in the civil war．
60．What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A．The ecological damage is difficult to repair．
B．The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously．
C．The island was abandoned by the Nauruans．
D．The phosphate mines were destroyed．

One of the greatest contributors to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its
most unusual．In 1879，Oxford University in England asked Prof．James Murray to serve as editor
for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language．It would
include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of
the word and quotations(引文)showing how it was used．
This was a huge task，so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain， the United States， and
the British colonies to search every newspaper ，magazine ，and book ever written in
English． Hundreds of volunteers responded， including William Chester Minor．Dr．Minor was
an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England． He gave
his address as "Broadmoor， Crowthorne，Berkshire，"50 miles from Oxford．
Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray． Over the next
17 years，he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors．
But he was also a mystery．In spite of many invitations，he would always decline to visit
Oxford． So in 1897，Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself．When he arrived，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院)for the
Criminally Insane．
Murray and Minor became friends，sharing their love of words．Minor continued contributing
to the dictionary，sending in more than 10，000 submissions in 20 years．Murray continued to visit
Minor regularly，sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds．
In 1910，Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America．Murray was at the port
to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend．
Minor died in 1920，seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was
completed．The 12 volumes defined 414，825 words，and thousands of them were contributions
from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient．
61．According to the text，the first Oxford English Dictionary ．

San Francisco has its cable cars．Seattle has its Space Needle．And，Longview has its squirrel
bridge．The bridge，which has attracted international attention，is now a local landmark．
The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder， Amos Peters， to give
squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars．
The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library
grounds． Before the bridge was built， squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza
office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels． Many times， Peters and
others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over．
One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth，and that day’s coffee break
discussion turned into squirrel safety．The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge
idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会)．The Council
approved，and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere jokingly named the bridge "Nutty Narrows"．
After architects designed the bridge，Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction．They
built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose(消防水带)．It cost $1，000．
It didn’t take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started．Squirrels were even
seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes．The story was picked up by the media， and
Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world．
In 1983， after 20 years of use，Peters took down the worn-out bridge．Repairs were made
and crosspieces were replaced．The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983，hundreds of animal
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge．
Peters died in 1984，and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in
memory of its builder and his devotion to the project．
67．The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in order to ．
A．offer squirrels a place to eat nuts
B．set up a local landmark

number of Internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them"smart"．
Last year， it was a refrigerator that tweeted． This year，it’s Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines
and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad．
The washers and dryers，available starting in the spring，connect to any smartphone through
a downloadable application．The phone can then be used as a remote control， so the machines can
be turned on and off while their owner is at work or on the bus．
Samsung says it’s not just something new — the app connection actually has some practical
uses．
"If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out， you can go to your
phone and restart your dryer for the time when you come home， so your clothes are refreshed and
ready to go，"said spokesperson Amy Schmidt．
The company also says that with electricity rates (电价) varying depending on the time of
day，more control over when the machines are used can help save money．
Perhaps，but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do —
enable laziness．Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done，users will instead
monitor it on their phones while watching TV．
72．What can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the CES?
A．The machine will be a big success．
B．Their wives like doing the laundry．
B．The machine is unrelated to their life．
D．This kind of technology is familiar to them．
73．What can we learn about the new laundry machines?
A．They can tell you when your clothes need washing．
B．They can be controlled with a smartphone．
C．They are difficult to operate．
D．They are sold at a low price．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
74．We can conclude from Samsung’s statements that ．
A．the app connection makes life easier
B．it is better to dry clothes in the morning
C．smartphones can shorten the drying time
D．we should refresh clothes back at home
75．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

[1] Ashley Power’s mother bought a computer for her when she was eight．When she was

happy． But it was crazy in a lot of ways．I got very stressed．I mean，I was only sixteen — I
didn’t even have a car!If you were sixteen and you had your own company，you’d be stressed，

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
2012 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(山东卷)
英语答案
1-5 CABCA 6-10 CBBCC 11-15 ABBAC 16-20 BAACA
21．A【解析】考查代词。句意：你看完了这本书后，直接给Lucy 或者Helen 或者任何人
都行。由前面的"Lucy"和"Helen"可知，whoever 当选。
22．D【解析】考查交际用语。——很抱歉我迟到了。路上堵车了。——没关系。你来了就
好，进来坐吧。Never mind"没关系，不要紧"，符合语境。
23．C【解析】考查定语从句。句意：Maria 写了两部小说，这两部小说都被拍成了电视剧。
逗号后面为非限制性定语从句，此处介词of 后只能用关系代词which 来引导该定语从
句。
24．D【解析】考查名词辨析。句意：我对他的第一印象是他是一个善良而又富有思想的年
轻人。A 项expression 是"表达，表示"的意思，B 项attention 是"注意"的意思，C 项
satisfaction 是"满意"的意思，很明显都不符合句意。
25．B【解析】考查主语从句。句意：在这家商店，你是用现金还是用信用卡结账都没关系。
结合句意可知应选whether。这是一个含有主语从句的复合句。it 是形式主语，whether
引导的从句是真正的主语，whether 表示"不管，是否"。连接副词how 在从句中作方式
状语，表示"怎样"；连接副词why 在从句中作原因状语，表示"为什么"；what 是连接代
词，在从句中作主语、宾语、表语或定语，均不符合句意。
26．A【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：George 战后回来，却被告知他妻子已经离开了他。
only 后跟动词不定式和现在分词都可以作结果状语，但是"only + 不定式"作结果状语时，
表示的是出乎意料的结果，通常是一种令人失望的后果，而"only +现在分词"作结果状
语时，表示的是自然而然的或意料之中的情况或结果。很显然，此题应用"only+不定式
"的结构。
27．A【解析】考查引导状语从句的连接词。句意：当Mary 为她醉酒的朋友而道歉的时候，
他有礼貌地笑了笑。此处as 引导时间状语从句，表示"当……的时候"。
28．C【解析】考查动词时态。句意：Jack 发了一些电子邮件后，就开始做起他的项目。从
句中用了had sent 即过去完成时态，表示在过去的过去发生的动作，因此主句应该用一
般过去时态。
29．B【解析】考查冠词。第一空，drink 前应用不定冠词，表示"一杯饮料"；第二空，comfort
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
前面加不定冠词，表示"一个给人安慰的物品"，所以两个空都要用不定冠词。
30．D【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意：如果不是我们做好了充分的准备，会议不可能这么成
功。这是条件句中的虚拟语气，主句谓语用的是wouldn’t have been，说明是与过去事
实相反的情况，由此推断从句谓语用"had+过去分词"。
31．C【解析】考查特殊句式。句意：——我不了解你，但是我十分讨厌这样的天气。——
我也是，我不能忍受一直下雨。can’t stand 和be sick and tired of 意思接近，根据句意可
知第二个人表达的是和第一个人同样的感受。故用"So+助动词+主语"结构，表示"……
也一样"。
32．B【解析】考查引导状语从句的连接词。句意：很多高楼在一年前还是废墟的地方拔地
而起。where 引导地点状语从句；而when， before 和until 都引导时间状语从句。
33．A【解析】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：明智点吧，你不能指望我在这么少的时间内完
成所有的这些工作。reasonable"理智的，合理的"，符合语境。confident"有信心的，自
信的"，creative"创造性的"，grateful"感激的"，均不符合句意。
34．D【解析】考查动词时态。句意：经理听说他信赖的工人中有两个要离开很着急。根据
主句中的was 可以确定宾语从句中的时态不能选用A、B、C 三项，因为这三项的时态
属于将来或现在的时态，与was 不呼应。were leaving 是过去进行时，表示过去将来，
符合语境。
35．B【解析】考查非谓语动词。envelope 和provide 之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用
过去分词作定语，故选provided。
36．B【解析】连词But 表示转折，说明前面我们中间大部分人认为的不是实际情况，因此，
此处用truth 表示"事实"。
37．D【解析】根据常识可知，可先排除B 项，因为德国是发达(developed)国家，而"发达
的"与选项D"富裕的"意思是一致的。A 项"传统的"和C 项"典型的"都不符合语境。
38．C【解析】根据下文提到的"Kurt and his wife stayed at home， made sandwiches"可知他
们在为那些无家可归的人做饭。
39．A【解析】该题所在的句子中first 很关键，而one long hot summer 是时间状语，所以用
began，表示他们"开始"做事情。meet"相遇"；call"号召，打电话"；leave"离开"，都不
符合语境。
40．D【解析】后面有on holiday 意思是"度假"。既然度假，就要"离开"，所以用away。
41．B【解析】根据空格后的a table 和整个句子的意思可知，此处表示"支起桌子"供人们吃
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
饭，所以用set up。bring up"抚养"；put aside"把……放在一边；储存，保留；暂不考虑
"；give away"泄露，分发"，均不合语境。
42．A【解析】根据下一句"What these people also need is warmth．．．"可知他们意识到只给
那些无家可归的人提供食物和衣服是不够的。necessary"必要的"，helpful"有帮助的"，
expensive"昂贵的"，都不符合语境。
43．D【解析】该空处所选的词应和warmth 并列，故选D 项。caring"关心"。
44．A【解析】前面有didn’t，后面又提到told them to phone anytime，可知Muller 夫妇是把
电话号码给了他们，故选hesitate。didn’t hesitate to do 表示"毫不犹豫做……"。
45．C【解析】make sure"确保，保证"，符合语境。make sense"讲得通，有意义"；find out"
弄清楚，查明"；work out"解决；弄懂；制定出"，均不符合语境。
46．A【解析】从上下文可知，the Mullers 把他们的家也提供给那些无家可归的人投宿，所
以此处用open，表示"开放的"。
47．D【解析】他们很快"花光"了他们的时间和金钱。spend 的主语是人，其他选项都不正
确。
48．B【解析】上文说他们的钱花完了，所以他们就去食品公司和服装公司"寻求"捐助。pay
for"为……付钱"；look into"调查"；carry out"实施"，均不符合语境。
49．C【解析】根据上下文可知，经过这对夫妇的努力，现在有三十多家公司定期捐赠食品
和其他东西。regularly 表示"定期地"，符合语境。
50．C【解析】公司捐赠了食品和其他东西后，志愿者把这些东西发送给那些无家可归的人。
deliver 表示"发送"，符合语境。
51．A【解析】该空所在的句子是一个并列句，根据本句中的give 可知此处应该用donates，
表示"捐赠"。
52．B【解析】联系上下文可知，他们帮助无家可归的人是不求回报的，no payment"没有报
酬"，符合语境。
53．D【解析】由the Mullers 的行为可知他们不期望通过帮助别人得到钱。expect"期望"，
符合语境。
54．C【解析】该空所在的句子是让步状语从句，语意表示尽管Rita 说她常会感到"疲劳"，
但她仍然继续做她的工作。
55．B【解析】文章最后一句说明了the Mullers 做慈善的真正意义，所以B 项当选。
56．B【解析】考查写作目的。根据第一段中的"other countries might learn from its mistakes"
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是给其他国家一个警示。
57．C【解析】考查细节理解。由第一段第一句"The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a
beautiful place．"和第二段第一句"For thousands of years， Polynesian people lived on the
remote island of Nauru， far from western civilization．"可知，答案选C。
58．B【解析】考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"Soon people realized that they．．．Ninety
percent of．．．nothing．"，再结合全文内容可知，瑙鲁出现生态灾难的原因是过度开采
磷酸盐矿，因此B 项正确。
59．A【解析】考查细节理解。根据最后一段第一句"Unfortunately， the leaders invested the
money unwisely and lost millions of dollars．"可知，A 项正确。
60．A【解析】考查推理判断。根据最后一段最后两句"Experts say that it would take
approximately $433，600，000 and more than 20 years to repair the island． This will
probably never happen．"可推知，A 项正确。
61．D【解析】考查细节理解。由第一段中第二句"In 1879， Oxford University in England asked
Prof． James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in
the history of the English language．"可知D 项正确。
62．C【解析】考查细节理解。根据第三段"Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words
and quotations to Murray． Over the next 17 years， he became one of the staff’s most valued
contributors．"可知答案为C。
63．A【解析】考查细节理解。根据第四段的"In spite of many invitations， he would always
decline to visit Oxford．"和"When he arrived， he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at
the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院) for the Criminally Insane．"可知答案。
64．B【解析】考查细节理解。第五段第一句中的"．．．sharing their love of words．"和选项B
中的"had a common interest in words"同义。
65．D【解析】考查推理判断。从整篇文章来看，Minor 很有才华，对编纂《牛津英语词典》
做出了巨大贡献，但是他又是一个精神病患者，所以，可以判断他是一个不平常的而又
博学的人。
66．C【解析】考查主旨大意。因为文章介绍了编纂《牛津英语词典》和其主要参与编纂的
志愿者Minor 的情况，所以C 项作为本文的标题最佳。
67．D【解析】考查细节理解。由第二段中的"to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without
getting flattened by passing cars"可知，建立这座桥是为了避免松鼠在过马路时被车撞到，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
即为了保护松鼠，故选D。
68．B【解析】考查细节理解。由第四段的前两句可知，在看到一只被撞死的松鼠后，Peters
和他的同事在喝咖啡时有了一个建座松鼠桥的主意。
69．D【解析】考查意义的猜测。根据画线短语前的"guiding their young"及上下文可推知，
画线短语表示松鼠在教幼崽如何过桥。
70．C【解析】考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段的内容可知，这座桥在使用了20 年后重建，
所以C 项正确。
71．A【解析】考查细节理解。
72．D【解析】考查推理判断。原文中的"my wife already does that"说明，他们已经知道并熟
悉这类技术，由此推断D 项正确。
73．B【解析】考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"The washers and dryers， available starting in
the spring， connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application． The phone can
then be used as a remote control．．．"可知B 项正确。
74．A【解析】考查推理判断。三星的声明中提到这种技术"has some practical uses"和"help save
money"，由此可以推断出，他们的意思是他们的技术可以让生活变得更加容易。
75．C【解析】考查段落大意。最后一段主要讲的是先进技术可能会使人变得更加懒惰，所
以先进技术也有不好的一面，故选C 项。
76．She wanted to create an interesting website for teenagers．
77．Ashley’s GooseHead was a big success．
78．She wrote a book called The GooseHead Guide to Life．
79．She felt happy but stressed．
80．people tell you that you can’t do it

What brings a nation together? Of the four choices —shared values， language， history，
and religion， it’s shared values．In our latest poll(民意调查)， seven out of 16 countries chose
values as the greatest factor (因素) bringing a nation together， and six preferred language．Both
choices scored high in the poll， suggesting that our values and how we express them are closely
linked．Still， history was not forgotten in some countries， particularly in Mexico and
Russia．Even Canada and the United States chose national histories as the second-most important
factor uniting their people．The biggest surprise? Not one country picked religion as its top choice．

Three Boys and a Dad
Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother．Expecting a whole day to
relax， he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his
first day off in months．"This will be like a walk in the park，" he’d told his wife．"I’ll look after
the kids， and you can go visit your mom．"
Things started well， but just after eight o’clock， his three little "good kids"— Mike，
Randy， and Alex — came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted "breakfast，
daddy"． When food had not appeared within thirty seconds， Randy began using his spoon on
Alex’s head as if it were a drum．Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍)．Mike
chanted "Where’s my toast， where’s my toast" in the background．Brad realised his newspaper
would have to wait for a few seconds．
Life became worse after breakfast．Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head．Randy locked
himself in the bathroom， while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his
pants．Nobody could find clean socks， although they were before their very eyes．Someone
named "Not Me" had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes．Brad
knew the talk show had already started．
By ten o’clock， things were out of control．Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
refused his bread and butter．Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall
with his colour pencils．Randy， thankfully， appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，

Eating too much fatty food， exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of
heart disease．But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately：
the air you breathe．
Previous studies have linked high exposure(暴露) to environmental pollution to an increased
risk of heart problems， but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or
stroke(中风) within as little as a few hours after exposure．In one review of the research，
scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants(污染物) were up to 5% more
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure．A separate
study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U．S． Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) considers to be of "moderate"(良好) quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the
risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure．
The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and
certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood
pressure．However， it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to
air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices．So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not
only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health．
53．The text mainly discusses the relationship between ．
A．heart problems and air quality
B．heart problems and exercising
C．heart problems and smoking
D．heart problems and fatty food
54．The underlined word "modest" in Paragraph 3 most probably means ．
A．relatively high B．extremely low
C．relatively low D．extremely high
55．What can we learn from the text?
A．Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart．
B．The EPA conducted many studies on air quality．
C．Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking．
D．Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made．
56．The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to ．
A．inform B．persuade C．describe D．entertain
D
Spring is coming， and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs．Competition is
tough， so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices．Whatever we are wearing，
our family and friends may accept us， but the workplace may not．
A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible
tattoos(文身) nose rings， or certain dress styles．It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
yet people do "cover" themselves in order to convey(传递) certain messages．What we wear，
including tattoos and nose rings， is an expression of who we are．Just as people convey messages
about themselves with their appearances， so do companies．Dress standards exist in the business
world for a number of reasons， but the main concern is often about what customers accept．
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom， but for businesses it is more
about whether to make or lose money．Most employers do care about the personal appearances of
their employees(雇员)， because those people represent the companies to their customers．
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on
our customers．There are plenty of well-qualified candidates， so it is not wrong to reject someone
who might disappoint my customers．Even though I am open-minded， I can’t expect all our
customers are．
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your
preferred employer．No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he
or she is unwilling to respect its standards， as long as its standards are legal．
57．Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?
A．People’s appearances carry messages about themselves．
B．Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies．
C．Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated．
D．Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace．
58．What can be inferred from the text?
A．Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview．
B．What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies．
C．Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates．
D．Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates．
59．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Employees Matter
B．Personal Choices Matter
C．Appearances Matter
D．Hiring Managers Matter
60．The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
as ．
A．enthusiastic B．negative C．positive D．sympathetic
第二节(共5 小题，每小题2 分，满分10 分)
根据短文内容，从下框的A~F 选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一
项为多余项。
A．Be well-organised． B．Close with a Q & A．
C．Don’t be contradictory． D．Bring it to a specific end．
E．Speak slowly and pause． F．Drop unnecessary words．
Speaking to a group can be difficult， but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome task —
especially when the speaker is confusing．Don’t want to confuse your audience? Follow these
suggestions：
61．_________
When it comes to understanding new information， the human brain needs a little time．First，
we hear the words； then， we compare the new information to what we already know．If the two
are different， we need to pause and think．But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think
about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us．Slow it down．And breathe．
62．________
Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions， which is very
difficult to follow．When you confuse your listeners with opposing information， you leave the
audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should
remember．Instead of relying on keeping correcting yourself， work to get the facts clear and
straight．
63．__________
Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus(责任) on your listeners to
make up for your lack of organisation．And it’s confusing for them to listen， reorganise， and
figure out what you’re saying all at once．But going smoothly from one point to the next helps
them understand information more easily．You can arrange things from beginning to end， small
to large， top to bottom or by some other order．Just be sure to organise．
64． ___________
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Repeated use of um， ah， like， you know and some other useless noises can drive an
audience crazy．It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared， and it can leave listeners
so annoyed that they can’t pay attention．Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many
ums that audience members were rolling their eyes．Was anybody grasping the intended message?
Um， probably not．
65．___________
Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q & A) sessions， but
some let the Q & A go on without a clear end．The audience is often left confused about whether
the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave．Do your listeners a favour by setting a
time limit on questions， and close your speech with a specific signal — even if it’s something
simple like， "If you have any more questions， you know where to reach me．"
Or even more to the point， conclude your speech with "Thanks for your time．"

Filmgoers should be told how many calories there are in the popcorn， ice cream and soft
drinks that they buy in cinemas， according to the Food Standard Agency．
Smaller popcorn buckets and drink cups should also be made 41 ， the nutrition
inspector said．
Tim Smith， chief executive of the agency， told The Times that cinemas should help to deal
with the country’s overweight 42 ．
"There is a misbelief that popcorn is calorie-free， but that is not the case． It is a 43 to
us，" he said． "Portion sizes are also a big issue， and there seems to be increasingly big packs on
sale．"
He spoke as a number of food chains such as Pret A Manger，Wimpey and The Real Greek
44 to put calorie counts on all their menus．
A trial scheme(试行方案) with 21 food companies took place last summer， and 45 are
that consumers altered their buying habits when they realised the number of calories in a product．
A consultation(征询意见) on the trial ends next month but Mr Smith is already planning the
second drive for American-style calorie counts and is 46 to win support from cinemas and
other entertainment places， from football grounds to concert halls．
Government 47 suggest that two thirds of adults and a third of children are

overweight． If trends are not 48 ， this could rise to almost nine in ten adults and two
thirds of children by 2050， putting them at 49 risk of heart disease， cancer and other

Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions：For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A，B，
C and D．Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context．
People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they
were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled
woman．In another 50 ，subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble(绊
脚) and fall to the floor．Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his 51 ；
sometimes he did not． In this situation， the victim was more likely to 52 aid if his face
was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark． In 53 these and other research findings，
two themes are 54 ： we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and
people we think 55 assistance．
In some situations， those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive
aid． 56 ，in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a
telephone box at the airport．The application was ready to be 57 ，but had apparently been
"lost"．The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very 58 person and
sometimes that of a less attractive person．The measure of helping was whether the individual who
found the envelope actually mailed it or not．Results showed that people were more likely to 59
the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive．
The degree of 60 between the potential helper and the person in need is also
important．For example， people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country
rather than a foreigner． In one study， shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to
help a person wearing a(n) 61 T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with
offensive words．
Whether a person receives help depends in part on the "worth" of the case． For example，
shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone 62 to buy milk rather than to
buy cookies，probably because milk is thought more essential for 63 than cookies．Passengers

Phil White has just returned from an 18，000-mile， around-the-world bicycle trip． White
had two reasons for making this epic journey． First of all， he wanted to use the trip to raise
money for charity， which he did． He raised ￡70，000 for the British charity， Oxfam． White’s
second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to
cycle around the world． He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not．
White set off from Trafalgar Square， in London， on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days
later． He spent more than 1，300 hours in the saddle(车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and
three bike chains． He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe， the Middle East， India，

Asia， Australia， New Zealand and the Americas． Amazingly， he did all of this with absolutely
no support team． No jeep carrying food， water and medicine． No doctor． Nothing! Just a bike
and a very， very long road．
The journey was lonely and desperate at times． He also had to fight his way across deserts，
through jungles and over mountains． He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45
degrees， all to help people in need． There were other dangers along the road． In Iran， he was
chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had． The
worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the
south of Australia． For 1，000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing
him． This part of the trip was slow， hard work and depressing， but he made it in the end． Now

Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles
(UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress． This
difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders．
Until now，psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same
"fight-or-flight" reaction to stress．In other words，individuals either react with aggressive
behavior，such as verbal or physical conflict ("fight")，or they react by withdrawing from the
stressful situation ("flight")．However，the UCLA research team found that men and women have
quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress． While men often react to stress in
the fight-or-flight response，women often have another kind of reaction which could be called
"tend and befriend"．That is， they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing
their young ("tend")，and by looking for social contact and support from others — especially other
females("befriend")．
Scientists have long known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress， an important role is
played by certain hormones(激素) released by the body． The UCLA research team suggests that
the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone． This hormone， called oxytocin，
has been studied in the context of childbirth，but now it is being studied for its role in the response
of both men and women to stress．The principal investigator，Dr．Shelley E．Taylor，explained
that "animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer，more relaxed，more social， and
less anxious"．While men also secrete(分泌) oxytocin，its effects are reduced by male hormones．
In terms of everyday behavior，the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than
men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed． They may phone relatives or friends，
or ask directions if they are lost．
The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
to their family after a stressful day at work． The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy
some peace and quiet． For a typical mother， coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her
attention on her children and their needs．
The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower
frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior． The
tend-and-befriend regulatory(调节的) system may protect women against stress， and this may
explain why women on average live longer than men．
72．The UCLA study shows that in response to stress，men are more likely than women to ．
A．turn to friends for help B．solve a conflict calmly
C．find an escape from reality D．seek comfort from children
73．Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?
A．Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do．
B．Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women．
C．Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin．
D．Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men．
74．What can be learned from the passage?
A．Male hormones help build up the body’s resistance to stress．
B．In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does．
C．Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress．
D．The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings．
75．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．How men and women get over stress
B．How men and women suffer from stress
C．How researchers overcome stress problems
D．How researchers handle stress-related disorders
Section C
Directions：Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each
paragraph．There is one extra heading which you do not need．
A．When a child should learn to read
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．Why it is fun to teach a child reading
C．What if a child has reading problems
D．How you prepare a young child for reading
E．What is the best way to teach a child reading
F．Whether reading early promises later achievements
76．_________
Learning to read early has become one of those indicators — in parents’ minds at least —
that their child is smart． In fact， reading early has very little to do with whether a child is
successful academically． Research has shown that difficulty with reading is often due not to
inferior intelligence but to differences in the developmental wiring of each individual child． In
some cases， there are neurological problems and developmental lags that can be overcome with
proper training．
77．_________
Traditionally， American schools teach children at age six， but many schools begin teaching
informally in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten． If parents start too early to encourage reading，
and a child does not immediately succeed， the parent has a hard time relaxing and letting the
child go at his or her own pace．
78．_________
Over the years， research has proved that the use of both the "whole language" method and
the "phonic" method works best for a child to master reading． While the whole language
approach， which includes reading to children and getting them interested in both the activity of
reading and the story they are reading， is helpful， phonics must be taught． Children must be
taught that one of the squiggles they see is a "p" and another a "b"． Getting the print off the page
requires a different ability than being able to understand the meaning of what is written．
79．________
You can start developing the skills needed in reading at a very young age without putting any
pressure on children． Besides reading to them， parents can start "ear training" their child by
playing rhyme games． This develops the child’s ability to recognize different sounds． In reading
to children， parents also can point to words as they go， teaching the child that the funny lines on
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
the page are the words you are saying． All this should be a fun activity．
80．_________
Once a child is in school， the learning of reading is inevitably more serious． For children
who have some kind of reading difficulty， you must get a professional diagnosis． While the
teacher might say the child is merely disinterested but will get over it， disinterest or poor
performance in reading can stem from a number of things， some being very specific learning
disabilities that can be identified and worked on． But it is very tricky for parents to deal with
their own child’s learning disabilities．
Section D
Directions：Read the passage carefully．Then answer the questions or complete the statements in
the fewest possible words．
While contact between adolescents (between the ages of fifteen and nineteen) and their peers
(同龄人) is a universal characteristic of all cultures， the nature and the degree of such contact
vary a great deal． In American contemporary society， adolescents spend much more time with
their peers than with younger children or adults．
This pattern of age segregation(隔离) in American society did not become usual until the
beginning of the industrialized society． Changes in the workplace separated children from adults，
with adults working and children attending school． The dramatic increase of mothers in the
workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with
adults． School reform efforts during the nineteenth century， which resulted in age-segregated
schools and grades， have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger
children．Finally， the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to
the emergence of adolescent peer culture． From 1955 to 1975， the adolescent population
increased dramatically， from 11 percent to 20．9 percent． This increase in the number of
adolescents might be a contributing factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of
growth in size．
Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time with their
peers． Reed Larson and his colleagues examined adolescents’ daily activities and found that they
spend more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity． In a typical week，
high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults． This gradual
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence． In sixth grade， adults (excluding parents)
account for only 25 percent of adolescent social networks． Another important characteristic of
adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous (自治的) function． While childhood peer
groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents， adolescent peer groups typically
make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so．
(Note： Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT
WORDS．)

themselves from ．
82．Besides changes in the workplace， are the other two factors contributing to adolescent

On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land， we watch the lines of rain move across the
scene， the moon rise over the hills， and the stars appear in the sky． The views invite a long
look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house．
Every window in our wooden house has a view， and the forest and lakes seldom look the
same as the hour before． Each look reminds us where we are．
There is space for our three boys to play outside， to shoot arrows， collect tree seeds， build
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
earth houses and climb trees．
Our kids have learned the names of the trees， and with the names have come familiarity and
appreciation． As they tell all who show even a passing interest， maple(枫树) makes the best
fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees．
The air is clean and fresh． The water from the well has a pleasant taste， and it is perhaps
the healthiest water our kids will ever drink． Though they have one glass a day of juice and the
rest is water， they never say anything against that．
The seasons change just outside the door． We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow
and red in the fall and note the poplars’(杨树) putting out the first green leaves of spring． The
rainbow smelt fills the local stream as the ice gradually disappears， and the wood frogs start to
sing in pools after being frozen for the winter． A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the
lake．

I left university with a good degree in English Literature， but no sense of what I wanted to
do．Over the next six years，I was treading water，just trying to earn an income．I tried journalism，
but I didn’t think I was any good，then finance， which I hated． Finally，I got a job as a rights
assistant at a famous publisher．I loved working with books，although the job that I did was dull．
I had enough savings to take a year off work，and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish
to write a novel．Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my
first 55，000 words．
It takes confidence to make a new start — there’s a dark period in-between where you’re
neither one thing nor the other．You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do， and you’re too
ashamed to say，"Well，I’m writing a novel， but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there．" My
confidence dived． Believing my novel could not be published， I put it aside．
Then I met an agent(代理商) who said I should send my novel out to agents．So，I did and，
to my surprise，got some wonderful feedback．I felt a little hope that I might actually become a
published writer and，after signing with an agent，I finished the second half of the novel．
The next problem was finding a publisher．After two-and-a-half years of no income，just
waiting and wondering，a publisher offered me a book deal — that publisher turned out to be the
one I once worked for．
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate，really．When you set out to do
something different， there’s no end in sight， so to find myself in a position where I now have my
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
own name on a contract(合同) of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably
rewarding(有回报的)．
49．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．I was waiting for good fortune．
B．I was trying to find an admirable job．
C．I was being aimless about a suitable job．
D．I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time．
50．The author decided to write a novel ．
A．to finish the writing course
B．to realize her own dream
C．to satisfy readers’ wish
D．to earn more money
51．How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?
A．Disturbed． B．Ashamed． C．Confident． D．Uncertain．
52．What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?
A．It pays to stick to one’s goal．
B．Hard work can lead to success．
C．She feels like being unexpectedly lucky．
D．There is no end in sight when starting to do something．

In a recent announcement，Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) said
that they have joined forces to offer free online courses in an effort to attract millions of online
learners worldwide．
Beginning this fall，a number of courses developed by teachers at both universities will be
offered online through a new $60 million program，known as edX．"Anyone with an Internet
connection anywhere in the world can use our online courses，" Harvard President Drew Faust
said during a meeting to announce the plan．
MIT has offered a program called OpenCourseWare for ten years that makes materials from
more than 2，000 classes free online．It has been used by more than 100 million people．In
December，the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate，known as MITx，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
for people who complete certain online courses．Harvard has long offered courses to a wider
population through a similar program．
The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform．
MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120，000 people signed up for the first MITx
course． She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on
the open-source edX platform．
"Fasten your seatbelts，" Hockfield said．
Other universities，including Stanford，Yale and Carnegie-Mellon， have been experimenting
with teaching to a global population online．
The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit(非盈利的) organization
based in Cambridge， to be owned equally by the two universities． Both MIT and Harvard have
provided $30 million to start the program．They also plan to use the edX platform to research how
students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful．
53．According to this text，edX is ．
A．a part of the free MIT OpenCourseWare
B．a free computer program by MIT and Harvard
C．a Harvard-MIT platform of free online courses
D．a free program online for universities worldwide
54．What is said about online education in the text?
A．Universities have been trying online courses．
B．About 2，000 online courses have been offered．
C．Over 100 million people have finished courses online．
D．Stanford and Yale together have courses similar to edX．
55．The underlined part in the text probably means " "．
A．Get ready for the difficulties
B．Get ready for this educational change
C．Get prepared to complete the online courses
D．Get prepared to make materials for the edX courses
56．What can be said about MITx according to the text?

C．It is a standard to recognize online learners’ achievement．
D．It is a new kind of free online course of Harvard and MIT．

Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted(预测) in reaction to climate change，
which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems．
Global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the
world， changing some living patterns， scientists say．
Increased carbon dioxide(CO2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on
how plants produce oxygen， while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can
change their patterns of growth．
"Predicting species’ reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology，" said the
researchers of several U．S． universities． They said plants had been the key object of study
because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem
services．
The study，published on the Nature website，uses the findings from plant life cycle studies
and experiments across four continents and 1，634 species．It found that some experiments had
underestimated(低估) the speed of flowering by 8．5 times and leafing by 4 times．
"Across all species，the experiments underpredicted the speed of the advance — for both
leafing and flowering — that results from temperature increases，" the study said．
The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will
react to climate change， it said．
Plants are necessary for life on the Earth． They are the base of the food chain， using
photosynthesis(光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water．They let out oxygen
which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet．
Scientists believe the world’s average temperature has risen by about 0．8℃ since 1900，
and nearly 0．2℃ every ten years since 1979．
So far，efforts to cut emissions(排放) of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as
enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2℃ this century — a point scientists say will
bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common， leading to
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
drought， floods， crop failures and rising sea levels．
57．What is the key information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1?
A．Plants’ reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystems．
B．The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists’ expectation．
C．Climate change leads to the change of food production patterns．
D．Food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather．
58．We can learn from the study published on the Nature website that ．
A．plants’ flowering is 8．5 times faster than leafing
B．there are 1，634 plant species on the four continents
C．scientists should improve the design of the experiments
D．the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change
59．Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because ．
A．they can prove the climate change clearly
B．they are very important in the food chains
C．they play a leading role in reducing global warming
D．they are growing and flowering much faster than before
60．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the world’s temperature?
A．It has risen nearly 0．2℃ since 1979．
B．Its change will lead to weather extremes．
C．It is 0．8℃ higher in 1979 than that of 1900．
D．It needs to be controlled within 2℃ in this century．

Dear Ms Li，
I’m very happy to have you as our English teacher．
As the world is becoming a global village，English is getting more and more important，so
mastering English means we can see the world through a new window．
My English is just OK and the two main problems in my study are that I feel it difficult to
learn words by heart，and that I often feel nervous when speaking English．I really hope that you
can give me some good advice on how to memorize new words．Another suggestion is to give us
more chances to practice our spoken English．I believe we can make much progress in English
with your help．
Thank you!

Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion． Over 450 people came to the
event． There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park． Several
former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days． Ms． Mabel Yates， the English
teacher for over fifty years， was wheeled to the Park．
Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声)when Ms． Yates was about to
speak． Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead
of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and
made them work harder than all the other teachers combined．
Then Ms． Yates started to speak：
"I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here． I haven’t seen many of you since your
graduation， but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for
your tragedies． I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students． Although I
haven’t appeared in person， I have attended your college graduations， weddings and even the
births of your children， in my imagination．"
Ms． Yates paused and started crying a bit． Then she continued：
"It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could， some of you would succeed to
please me and others would succeed to annoy me． Regardless of our motives， I can see that you
have all been successful in your chosen path．"
"There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of
work． You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I
love you all from the bottom of my heart．"
There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started
clapping． The clapping turned into cheering， then into a deafening roar (呼喊)． Lawyers，
truck drivers， bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all
because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown．

The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing
of the past． With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones， writing by
hand has become something of a nostalgic (怀旧的) skill． However， while today’s educators are
using more and more technology in their teaching， many believe basic handwriting skills are still
necessary for students to be successful — both in school and in life．
Virginia Berninger， professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington，
says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing
by hand．
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to
complete various writing tasks — both on a computer and by hand． The study， published in
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
2009， found that when writing with a pen and paper， participants wrote longer essays and more
complete sentences and had a faster word production rate．
In a more recent study， Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing
skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write． "Spelling makes
some of the thinking parts of the brain active， which helps us access our vocabulary， word
meaning and concepts． It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas．" Berninger said．
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转
换) "those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen，" the study
said． Seeing the words in the "mind’s eye" helps children not only to turn their ideas into words，
says Berninger， but also to spot (发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to
correct them over time．
"In our computer age， some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we
have spell checks，" she said． "But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth
grade level， they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options
given by the computer．"
46．What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?
A．The absence of blackboards in classrooms．
B．The use of new technologies in teaching．
C．The lack of practice in handwriting．
D．The popular use of smartphones．
47．Berninger’s study published in 2009 ．
A．focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer
B．indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper
C．found that good essays are made up of long sentences
D．discussed the importance of writing speed
48．Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?
A．Spelling improves one’s memory of words．
B．Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability．
C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas．
D．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
49．What does "mind’s eye" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Window． B．Soul． C．Picture． D．Imagination．
50．What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?
A．Computers can help people with their choice of words．
B．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching．
C．Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms．
D．Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade．
D
You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or a creator． When you
choose to be a victim， the world is a cold and difficult place． "They" did things to you which
caused all of your pain and suffering． "They" are wrong and bad， and life is terrible as long as
"they" are around． Or you may blame yourself for all your problems， thus internalizing (内化)
your victimization The truth is， your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to
blame yourself or others．
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently． They know there are
individuals who might like to control their lives， but they don’t let this get in the way． They
know they have their weaknesses， yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail． Whatever
happens， they have choice in the matter． They believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的)
moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed
for emotional and spiritual growth．
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical
realities， yet their experience of life is worlds apart． Victims relish (沉溺) in anger， guilt， and
other emotions that cause others — and even themselves — to feel like victims， too． Creators
consciously choose love， inspiration， and other qualities which inspire not only themselves，
but all around them． Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of
their lives．
In reality， all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives． One person，
on losing a job or a special relationship， may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into
terrible suffering for months， years， or even a lifetime． Another with the same experience may
choose to first experience the grief， then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
creative force in his life．
In every moment and every circumstance， you can choose to have a fuller， richer life by
setting a clear intention to transform the victim within， and by inviting into your life the powerful
creator that you are．
51．What does the word "they" in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A．People and things around you．
B．Opportunities and problems．
C．Creators and their choices．
D．Victims and their sufferings．
52．According to Paragraph 2， creators ．
A．seem willing to experience failures in life
B．possess the ability to predict future life
C．handle ups and downs of life wisely
D．have potential to create something new
53．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A．Creators and victims face quite different things in life．
B．Creators and victims are masters of their lives．
C．Victims can influence more people than creators．
D．Compared with victims， creators are more emotional．
54．The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that ．
A．strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims
B．people need family support to deal with challenges in life
C．it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains
D．one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life
55．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A．To define victims and creators．
B．To evaluate victims against creators．
C．To explain the relationship between victims and creators．
D．To suggest the transformation from victims to creators．

For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance
swimmers． In 1970， she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario， setting the women’s
record for the course． In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102．5 miles from an island in
the Bahamas to the coast of Florida． Then she broke a third record when swimming around
Manhattan Island in 1975．
Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978． Though the span
of water is less than 100 miles wide， it is rough and dangerous． After battling the water for two
days， she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety． Even so， she impressed the
world with her courage and strong desire to succeed． For Nyad her strength of purpose was just
as important as reaching Cuba． That is how she defined success． It did not matter that her swim
came up short； she believed she had touched the other shore．
When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer， she continued to try new things — travelling
the world as a reporter， writing books and giving public speeches about her life． Diana Nyad
works to inspire others， just as she did when she swam the waters of the world．

Easter (复活节) is still a great day for worship，candy in baskets and running around the yard
finding eggs，but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
And no，not because the kids like to pull their ears．The culprit is climate change，and some
researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of
rabbit in the US．
Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit， for instance． An endangered species that lives in the
Lower Florida Keys， this species of cottontail is a great swimmer — it lives on the islands! —
but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels． According to the
Center for Biological Diversity， an ocean level rise of only 0．6 meters will send these guys
jumping to higher ground and a 0．9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely．
The snowshoe hare， on the other hand， has a color issue． Most of these rabbits change
their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer， each designed to give them
better cover from predators (捕食者)． As the number of days with snow decreases all across the
country， however， more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of
both fall and spring， making them an easier mark for predators． Researchers know that the color
change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight， but whether the rabbit will be able to
adapt quick enough to survive is a big question． The National Wildlife Federation has reported
that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down．
American pikas or rock rabbits， a relative of rabbits and hares， might be the first of these
species to go extinct due to climate change． About 7-8 inches long， pikas live high in the cool，
damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains． As global temperatures rise， they would
naturally migrate (迁移) to higher ground — but they already occupy the mountaintops． They
can’t go any higher． The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand
the new temperatures as their habitat heats up．
The volcano rabbit has the same problem． These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in
Mexico， and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted
upward about 700 meters， but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher， so they are
stuck in the middle． Scientists are concerned about their populations．
Native to the US， pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American
West． They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world． Their habitats have been
destroyed by development． Several populations， such as the Columbia Basin pygmy， almost
went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs． Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators， but lesser snowfall is leaving them
exposed．
All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter．
41．The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to ．
A．show the importance of Easter Day
B．introduce the issue about bunnies
C．remind people of Easter traditions
D．discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies
42．The word "culprit" (Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to ．
A．criminal B．judge C．victim D．producer
43．According to the passage， some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators because
they ．
A．are exposed to more skillful hunters
B．have moved to habitats with fewer plants
C．haven’t adapted themselves to climate change
D．can’t change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring
44．The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that ．
A．both are affected by less snow
B．both are affected by rising sea levels
C．neither can find enough food
D．neither can migrate to higher places
45．Which best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?
A．Approving． B．Concerned． C．Enthusiastic． D．Doubtful．

the program．Fan Yang and Deni Yang impressed the audience with their awesome skills for
bubble making．The Yang family cooperated with the Discovery Science Center to set a new

and is owned by Christina and Bryan Flessner．
Mr． Jeffries is the previous record holder of this title． Each of his ears measured
approximately 11．5 inches long． His grandfather used to hold this amazing world record， but
when he died Mr． Jeffries took over．
◆Most living generations
Did you ever wonder what is the Guinness World Record for most living generations in one
family? Seven is the answer．
The ultimate authority on record-breaking mentions on the website that the youngest
great-great-great-great grandparent of this family was Augusta Bung "aged 109 years 97 days，

was unveiled by Chris Stevens at the Stillwater Harvest Festival in Minnesota． Stevens’ pumpkin
was 85 pounds heavier than the previous record， another huge pumpkin grown in Ohio． The
proud farmer said his secret is a precise mixture of rain， cow manure， good soil， sea grass and

Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever， even though neither
one can remember how the whole thing got started． Such sad events happen over and over in
high schools across the country． In fact， according to an official report on youth violence， "In
our country today， the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or
starvation or abandonment， but the terrible reality of violence"． Given that this is the case， why
aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems， drive
ears， or stay physically fit?
First of all， students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable． A report on violence
among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between
students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱)． For example， a fight could start over the
fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime． Laughter over the sandwich
can lead to insults， which in turn can lead to violence． The problem isn’t in the sandwich， but
in the way students deal with the conflict．
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable， they can practice the golden rule of
conflict resolution (解决)： stay calm． Once the student feels calmer， he or she should choose
words that will calm the other person down as well． Rude words， name-calling， and
accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire． On the other hand， soft words spoken at a
normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control．
After both sides have calmed down， they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict
resolution： listening． Listening allows the two sides to understand each other． One person
should describe his or her side ， and the other person should listen without
interrupting． Afterward， the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s
position． Then the two people should change roles．
Finally， students need to consider what they are hearing． This doesn’t mean trying to figure
out what’s wrong with the other person． It means understanding what the real issue is and what
both sides are trying to accomplish． For example， a shouting match over a peanut butter
sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new
things． Students need to ask themselves questions such as these： How did this start? What do I
really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer， the conflict often simply
becomes smaller． Even if it doesn’t， careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual

solution．
There will always be conflict in schools， but that doesn’t mean there needs to be
violence． After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program， according to Educators
for Social Responsibility， "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the
classroom； 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation； and 92
percent of the students felt better about themselves"． Learning to resolve conflicts can help
students deal with friends， teachers， parents， bosses， and coworkers． In that way， conflict
resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country．

A．the lives of school children

As a young boy，I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad．He was a rural mail
carrier， and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him．Driving through the countryside was
always an adventure：There were animals to see，people to visit，and chocolate cookies if you
knew where to stop，and Dad did．
In the spring， Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens， and when I was a boy it was such
fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your
fingers．
On Dad’s final day of work，it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because
at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship
and his years of service． "Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route，" he used to say，
"and a story at every one．" One lady had no mailbox，so Dad took the mail in to her every day
because she was nearly blind．Once inside，he read her mail and helped her pay her bills．
Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail．One note left in a mailbox read，
"Nat， take these eggs to Marian；she’s baking a cake and doesn’t have any eggs．" Mailboxes
might be buried in the snow， or broken， or lying on the ground， but the mail was always
delivered．On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot
chocolate．A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps，so she left a few buttons on the envelope
in the mailbox； Dad paid for the stamps．One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in
his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank．Once，the amount came to $32，000．
A dozen years ago，when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s death，
the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories．I thought I knew them all，but
that wasn’t the case．
As I drove home，I noticed two lamp poles， one on each side of the street．When my dad
was around，those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground．One box was
painted green，and the other was red，and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white
lettering：SANTA CLAUS，NORTH POLE．For years children had dropped letters to Santa
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
through those holes．
I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our
house．Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps．There，at the door，
stood Frank Townsend，Dad’s postmaster and great friend for many years．So we all sat down at
the table and began to tell stories．
At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes．"What are we going to do about the
letters this Christmas?" he asked．
"The letters?"
"I guess you never knew．"
"Knew what?"
"Remember， when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green
and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year．"
I just sat there with tears in my eyes．It wasn’t hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old
oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one．I have since spoken with
several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood，and they told me how
amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families．
For me，just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime．
55．It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as ．
A．great chances to help other people
B．happy occasions to play with baby chickens
C．exciting experiences with a lot of fun
D．good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies
56．The writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that ．
A．Dad had a strong sense of duty
B．Dad was an honest and reliable man
C．Dad had a strong sense of honor
D．Dad was a kind and generous man
57．According to the passage，which of the following impressed the writer most?
A．Dad read letters for a blind lady for years．
B．Dad paid for the stamps for a young girl．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．Dad delivered some eggs to Marian．
D．Dad answered children’s Christmas letters every year．
58．The method the writer uses to develop Paragraph 4 is ．
A．offering analyses B．providing explanations
C．giving examples D．making comparisons
59．What surprised the children most when they received letters in reply from Santa Claus every
year?
A．Santa Claus lived alone in the cold North Pole．
B．Santa Claus answered all their letters every year．
C．Santa Claus had unique mailboxes for the children．
D．Santa Claus had so much information about their families．
60．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．The Mail B．Christmas Letters
C．Special Mailboxes D．Memorable Travels

How to Simplify Your Life
Less is more． This is why we say：reduce things by half instead of doubling them， get rid
of junk instead of piling it up，relax instead of stressing， slow down instead of speeding
up． Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way． You will then find yourself
well along on your journey to simplification．

had． Just imagine： you are at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards． If
you keep grabbing one and then the other， it will take forever， because one of them will keep
slipping out from under your arm and running off． But if you tie one pig in a place， pick up the
other， gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line， pause for a moment， run
back and get the other one， and with great determination， carry the second pig to the finish line，
then you can be sure of success．
62．________
The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations． In the modern nuclear family，
the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now
concentrated on the individual partner．
If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for all the things you need to do，
then it’s not because the day has too few hours， but because you have too many activities． A
simple fact that overloaded people often tend to forget． The solution is equally simple： refuse to
accept so many work assignments in your private life or your working life．
63．________
"I can handle stress" is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work． People who
can handle stress are given more and more to cope with — until one day they break．
Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can
cope with． These signals can come from various areas of life． You become ill， or your work
efficiency decreases．
If you have any of these symptoms， change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of
stress． Say quite openly， "I can’t manage that．"
64．_______
"If only I were slimmer， more beautiful， richer， more clever， then I would be happier．"
This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill， depressed， and unhappy． Life has its flaws，
defects， corners， and edges． Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life．
Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous： driving a car， crossing the
road． But life doesn’t consist entirely of these things． In among them there is a lot of room for
small and large mistakes．
65．_______
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Successful people all have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work． Find
out which places improve your creativity． For me it’s the train． When I know that I’m going to
be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door， I find my mind
is free and I can read or write complex articles． There can be problems working on the train， of
course： if the person sitting opposite you keeps talking away， or if train trips make you tired
(some people fall asleep after a few miles)．

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
2012 年全国普通高等学校招生考试(浙江卷)
英语答案
1．B【解析】本题考查情景交际。——还有其他事情要讨论吗?——我想，没了，就这些了。
此处B 项与前面的anything else 相照应，而A 项则表示"根本没东西讨论"，C 项和D
项都与后面的I guess 不一致，所以选B 项。
2．C【解析】本题考查冠词。第一空a gradual process 表示"一个逐渐的过程"，用不定冠词
a 表示"一个，一"；而第二空human existence 意为"人类的存在"，existence 为不可数名
词，所以用零冠词。
3．D【解析】本题考查非谓语动词。句意为"不管你多么能言善辩，但有时候还是保持沉默
更好"。该题考查"it is+形容词+to do"这一句型，句中to remain silent"保持沉默"是真正
的主语，it 是形式主语。
4．C【解析】本题考查名词性从句。此处是that 引导的同位语从句，用来解释说明a promise
的具体内容，同时从句中不缺少成分，且句意完整，所以用that 引导。故选C 项。
5．A【解析】本题考查代词辨析。此处表示"看了Wendy 的菜单，我发现它的很多东西都和
麦当劳的类似"，所以这里用those 来指代前文提到的the items。B 项ones 指代不带定
冠词的名词复数形式，C 项any 修饰名词，意为"任何的"，D 项all 则表示"所有东西"，
均与句意不符。
6．B【解析】本题考查介词辨析。根据句意"在所有我养过的动物当中，这两条狗是对话语
最敏感的"可知，这里表示"所属关系"，用Of。
7．C【解析】本题考查名词辨析。句意：作为学生，如果你养成这样的习惯——对自己的
学习方法进行反思，你的表现将会非常出色。performance"表现"；operation"手术，操
作"；growth"成长"；character"个性"。根据句意可知选C 项。
8．D【解析】本题考查并列结构。根据题意和句中的either．．．or．．．结构可知，空格处所
填的动词的形式应与study 保持一致，所以选择D 项。
9．B【解析】本题考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知此处考查定语从句，先行词是an age，
关系词在定语从句中作时间状语，所以应该用关系副词when，故选B 项。
10．A【解析】本题考查形容词辨析。句意：该研究缺乏可靠的证据，因此它的结论值得怀
疑。由句意可知，solid 符合语境，意为"可靠的，可信赖的"。fierce"激烈的"，severe"
严重的"，potential"潜在的"，均不符合句意。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
11．D【解析】本题考查非谓语动词。判断非谓语动词形式的关键是弄清楚动词与其逻辑主
语之间的关系。在该句中，逻辑主语是the table，the table 与 reserve 之间存在逻辑上
的动宾关系，所以用过去分词，表示"已被预订的桌子"，所以选D 项。A 项虽然也表示
"被动"，但表示将来，故排除A 项。
12．D【解析】本题考查动词辨析。句意为"据科学家说，我们的思考能力在22 岁达到顶峰
后，从27 岁开始下降"，所以用decline。differ 表示"与……不同"，shrink 表示"收缩"，
fail 表示"失败"，均与语境不符。
13．B【解析】本题考查动词的时态。根据句意"Peter 本打算在商界找一份工作，但2010 年
在加拿大的一次不愉快的经历使他最终放弃了那个计划"可知，abandon 的动作发生在过
去，同时由题眼"had intended"可知，该空应该用一般过去时，所以只有B 项符合句意。
14．C【解析】本题考查短语辨析。根据语意"Brown 说他一点都不恼火，相反，他很高兴能
被别人理解"可知，空格处表示"相反"的含义，所以用on the contrary。all in all 表示"总
而言之"；for one thing 表示"一方面"，常与for another 连用；by the way 表示"顺便说一
下"。
15．B【解析】本题考查动词短语辨析。根据语意"收集到的信息已备好，你可以开始准备
你的商业计划了"可知，此处应用set about 表示"开始做，着手做……"，其后用动名词
形式。set out 后接to do，set off 表示"出发"，set up 表示"建立"，均与语意不符，所以
选B 项。
16．A【解析】本题考查动词的时态。句意：——Alvin，你会跟我们来吗?——我想去，但
出了点没料到的事情。此处表示"已发生的情况对现在的影响(我去不了了)"，所以用现
在完成时。
17．B【解析】本题考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处考查定语从句，定语从句的先
行词是a painter，关系词在定语从句中作主语，应该用关系代词who。
18．A【解析】本题考查词语辨析。根据句意"Mike 通常很仔细，但这次他犯了个小错误"
可知，此处yet 是连词，相当于but，而其他三项只能充当副词。由此我们不难判断选
A 项。
19．D【解析】本题考查虚拟语气。根据"Had they known．．．"可知，此处是省略了if 的条
件句，表示与过去事实相反的假设，所以主句用should/would/could/might + have done 结
构，故D 项正确。
20．C【解析】本题考查情景交际。——我要去旧金山一些日子。——太羡慕你了，我多么
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
希望也能去度假。A 项表示"没关系"，B 项表示"算了吧"，D 项表示"我完全赞同"，均
不符合语境。所以选C 项。
21．B【解析】从上下文可知，这把伞很重要，所以此处指是用褐色纸小心(carefully)包裹起
来的一个细长的盒子。strictly 表示"严格地"，roughly 表示"粗略地"，casually 表示"随意
地"，均与语境不符。
22．A【解析】从上下文可知，Oscar 打开了这个盒子，发现里面是一把雨伞，所以此处用
open 表示"打开"，其他选项都不符合语境。
23．D【解析】根据语境可知，虽然(Although)Oscar 已经20 多年没见过这把雨伞了，但是
他马上(immediately)就认出了它。根据上下文语境可知，此处表示"转折"，所以选D 项，
其他选项都不符合语境。
24．C【解析】参见上题解析。clearly 表示"清晰地"；fully 表示"完全地"；suddenly 表示"突
然地"。根据句意可知选C 项。
25．B【解析】从下文可知，这把雨伞对于老妇人而言是非常珍贵的，所以应该是"不同寻
常的"，故用unusual。average 表示"平均的"，plain 表示"平凡的"，typical 表示"典型的"，
都不符合语境。
26．A【解析】此伞不同寻常，同时从下文可知，这伞非常珍贵，由此Oscar 必定是对这伞
的"美丽"印象深刻，所以用beauty。shape 表示"形状"，origin 表示"起源"，history 表示
"历史"，都不符合语境。故选A 项。
27．D【解析】上文提到"he noticed an umbrella on an empty seat"，由此推知Oscar 要找的是
该伞的主人，所以选owner。designer 表示"设计师"，seller 表示"销售商"，user 表示"
使用者"，都不符合语境。
28．A【解析】从上下文可知，Oscar 说服了经理去查先前的售票记录，如他所料，有一个
名字对上了。此处用convince sb． to do sth．表示说服某人去做某事。force 表示"强迫
"，encourage 表示"鼓励"，advise 表示"建议"，都与语境不符。故选A 项。
29．D【解析】参见上题解析。此处考查定语从句，先行词是the seat，关系词在从句中作地
点状语，所以用where，故选D 项。
30．C【解析】从全文可知，Oscar 也说服了他的祖父母顺便去一下Katie 女士家(house)。family
表示"家庭"，侧重于家庭成员，theater 表示"剧院"，neighborhood 表示"街区"，都不符
合上下文语境。故选C 项。
31．B【解析】从下文可知，Katie 女士没想到会有人来还伞，所以开门看到一个陌生人的
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
第一反应就是"我可以帮你什么忙吗?"，所以用"May I help you?"这样的交际表达，其他
选项都不符合语境，故选B 项。
32．D【解析】从上文中的return 可知，Oscar 是要还雨伞，所以他伸出手(hold out)把雨伞
递给Katie 女士。put up 表示"提出"，turn out 表示"证明是"，pick up 表示"接收"，都不
符合语境。
33．C【解析】此处可以从下文的wished for 推断出，表示长久渴望得到的东西，那应该用
gift 才能表达，故答案为C 项。
34．A【解析】从上下文可知，Katie 女士拿到雨伞后感到很开心，所以会笑得很灿烂，故
用a wide smile 来表示。confident 表示"自信的"，proud 表示"骄傲的，自豪的"，shy 表
示"害羞的"，都与语境不符。故选A 项。
35．B【解析】Katie 女士认为Oscar 这样的善举(kindness)应该得到一定的报酬，因为这伞
对她来说是非常珍贵的。patience 表示"耐心"，courage 表示"勇气"，determination 表示"
决心"，都不符合语境。
36．C【解析】从上下文可知，Oscar 祖母说过的话也正是(exactly)Katie 女士父亲所讲过的，
故用exactly 表示"正是，就是"。obviously 表示"明显地"，naturally 表示"自然地"，probably
表示"可能"，都不符合语境。
37．A【解析】结合全文尤其是前文的in perfect condition 可知，这把伞已经有些年头了，
应该是很旧的(old)，但保存得相当好。
38．D【解析】从上文中的"Why had it arrived here today?"可知，Oscar 感到很疑惑，为什么
Katie 女士要把伞送给他，而似乎是对他的疑问的一种回应，一张便条掉了下来，所以
用in answer。in contrast 表示"对比"，in return 表示"回报"，in exchange 表示"交换"，都
不符合语境。
39．B【解析】根据便条可知，Katie 女士希望Oscar 能接受(accept)这把雨伞作为对他的无
私的(unselfish)善举的一种馈赠。possess 表示"拥有，占有"，carry 表示"携带"，value 表
示"珍惜"，都不符合语境。
40．C【解析】参见上题解析。Oscar 能把伞送还给Katie 女士，这本身就是一种无私的行为，
所以用unselfish。
41．B【解析】考查逻辑推理。根据文章第一段中的．．．gets quite a bit worse for bunnies 和
第二段中的And no， not because the kids like．．．可知，第一段提到复活节的目的是引
出下文关于兔子的话题，故答案应为B 项。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
42．A【解析】考查词义猜测。从文章第二段中的And no， not because the kids like．．．和．．．is
climate change．．．以及下文多次提到的兔子所处的困境可知，这里culprit 表示"肇事者，
引起问题的事物"，所以意思同A 项。
43．C【解析】考查逻辑推理。从第二段可知，受气候变化的影响，兔子们遭遇了困境。另
外，第三段提到的Lower Keys Marsh rabbit 和第四段提到的The snowshoe hare 都反映出
它们对气候变化的不适应才是造成它们受困的原因，所以答案为C 项。
44．D【解析】考查事实细节。根据第五段中的．．．they would naturally migrate(迁移) to higher
ground — but they already occupy the mountaintops． They can’t go any higher．和第六段
中的．．．but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher．．．可知，这两种兔子濒
临灭绝的原因是它们都无法进一步迁移到更高的地方。所以答案为D 项。
45．B【解析】考查情感态度。从第一段中的．．．gets quite a bit worse for bunnies 以及全文
字里行间作者对兔子的遭遇的表述可以看出，作者对有些兔子濒临灭绝的现状是很担心
的，所以选B 项。
46．C【解析】考查事实细节。从第一项纪录中提到的He is just another example of Japanese with
"super powers"．．．Kenichi Ito ran 100 m on all fours．．．可知，Kenichi Ito 创造了最新的
最快的100 米"四肢行走"纪录，所以答案为C 项。
47．D【解析】考查事实细节。从Longest ears on a dog 中的Mr． Jeffries is the previous record
holder of this title．可知，Mr． Jeffries 是前纪录的保持者，所以答案为D 项。
48．B【解析】考查事实细节。从文章第五项纪录中的The T-shirts weighed 68 kg and Budiseli
said he began struggling around T-shirt No． 120．可知，Budiseli 在穿了120 件T 恤后感
觉有点吃力了，所以答案为B 项。
49．A【解析】考查事实细节。从文章的纪录中可知，A 项是2011 年4 月4 日创造的；B
项是1989 年1 月21 日创造的；C 项是2010 年5 月22 日创造的；D 项是2010 年10 月
9 日创造的，由此可知A 项中表述的纪录是最近创造的，所以答案为A 项。
50．D【解析】考查主旨大意。从文章第一段中的．．．is not disease or starvation or abandonment，
but the terrible reality of violence．．．以及下文提到的First of all．．．Once students．．．After
both sides have calmed down．．．Finally， students．．．可知，该文主要介绍了帮助学生
正确处理校园冲突事件的方法，所以选D 项。
51．B【解析】考查逻辑推理。从第二段中的．．．begin with a relatively minor insult(侮辱)．．．可
知，很多时候校园暴力常起因于一件小事。接下来作者所举的例子也是来说明这一点的，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
故选B 项。
52．C【解析】考查逻辑推理。从第五段中的．．．It means understanding what the real issue is
and what both sides are trying to accomplish．．．可知，学生自问问题的目的是让自己明白
真正的症结所在，而不是只关注对方的过错，由此推断C 项是答案。
53．A【解析】考查事实细节。从第六段中的．．．64 percent of the teachers reported less physical
violence in the classroom．．．可知，亚特兰大实施了该校园冲突解决方案后，暴力行为
有所减少，学生之间的合作加强了，所以选A 项。
54．C【解析】考查写作意图。从文章第一段中的．．．Given that this is the case．．．和最后一
段中的Learning to resolve conflicts can help．．．In that way， conflict resolution is a basic
life skill that should be taught．．．并结合全文可知，本文作者主要提倡在学校教授冲突处
理手段，所以答案为C 项。
55．C【解析】考查逻辑推理。从文章第一段中的．．．always an adventure： There were animals
to see．．．可知，作者认为与父亲一起去送信是一件令人激动且充满乐趣的事情，所以
答案为C 项。
56．B【解析】考查逻辑推理。从文章第四段中的One businessman used to leave．．．the amount
came to $32，000 可知，这个商人认为父亲是一个诚实和值得信赖的人，所以他才会这
么信任他，让他把巨款送往银行，由此可知B 项为答案。
57．D【解析】考查逻辑推理。从文章最后几段可以看出，作者没有想到的是，父亲竟然还
曾扮演过圣诞老人的角色，给孩子们回信，这大大出乎了他的意料。从文章最后一段中
的the gift of a lifetime 可以看出，作者对父亲的这种行为的印象非常深刻，由此可知答
案为D 项。
58．C【解析】考查写作手法。从第四段可知，作者在这里举了几个事例，如帮人送鸡蛋，
帮小姑娘支付邮票，甚至帮一个商人把巨款送到银行，等等，故答案为C 项。
59．D【解析】考查事实细节。从倒数第二段中的and they told me how amazed they were
that．．．可知，当时小朋友们对圣诞老人居然这么了解他们的生活感到非常吃惊，所以
答案为D 项。
60．A【解析】考查主旨大意。从全文可知，本文作者主要讲述了自己的父亲，一个平凡中
显现伟大的邮递员的故事，所以A 项能概括全文中心，这里用The Mail 来表明父亲的
工作和他的敬业精神，故A 项正确。
61．C 62．E 63．D 64．F 65．B

第二节 书面表达
【范文赏读】
In the English Reading Week， one of my classmates recommended a quote to us， which
goes like this："Your future depends on many things， but mostly on you．" I can’t agree more with
this view． It’s true that our future is determined by many things， such as opportunities and help
from others， but our own attitude， determination， and hard work play a more important
role． In other words， we are the master of our own future．
Take Abraham Lincoln， for example． He was born in a poor family， and only received a
limited education in his childhood． Yet through his painstaking efforts， he changed not only his
own fate but also the history of America． Even to this day， Lincoln is regarded as one of the
most inspiring figures in the world． Therefore， I firmly believe that our future is in our own
hands．

Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans
can
Put our water supply in danger ,but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways．You may
wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water．A major Part of the
water we use every day is groundwater．Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers．It
come from underground．The more roads and parking lots we pave ,the less water can Flow
into the ground to become groundwater．
Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺)． Driver climates are of
course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall，but in any case, good
management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs．
Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference ,too In the United
States ,a family of four can use 1.5tons of water a day ! This shows how much we depend on
water to live ,but there’s a lot we can do to lower the number．
You can take steps to save water in your home．To start with ,use the same glass for your
drinking water all day．Wash it only once a day．Run your dishwasher (洗碗机)only when it is full。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】

States in 1980．”It’s a charity(慈善机构)that helps children who have got very serious
illnesses． Make – A –Wish help children feel happy even though they are sick, by making their

—so, with everybody’s help , Chris, only seven years old at the time ,had been a “policeman” for
a day．” when people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true, they decided to
try and help other sick children too ,and that was the beginning of Make – A –Wish,” explained
Sophia
Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy ti
me．A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for
if they could have anything in the world．Sophia said the volunteers were important because the
y were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true．They do this either by providing thi
ngs that are necessary, or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can．

“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,”
says Patsy Rowe, “ Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达)．” Due to our strong attraction to
electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the
singing birds with a complaint（抱怨）about the noise． Here are some examples of rudeness．
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet． To them, dealing with an
actual human is like an evolutionary step backward． It feels very slow because humans don’t
work at 4G speeds． When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying
more attention to his mobile phone． We have programmed ourselves to think that every new
message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important
than talking to the people we are with． What is worse, some people even tend to send
anonymous（匿名的） rude messages by email．
However, rudeness is never acceptable, Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re
in touch with won’t recognize you． If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face
the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it． Upsetting people with
unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting．
We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings． Technology is here to help us, but
we should not allow it to take over our lives． An important step is acknowledging our
shortcomings． People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more
help if we′d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them．
68．What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph I?
A．People can tell good from bad behavior．
B．Radar is able to observe human behavior．
C．People care little about their behavior．
D．Radar can be used to predict human behavior．
69．Some people are less willing to deal with humans because
A．they are becoming less patient
B．they are growing too independent
C．they have to handle many important messages
D．they have to follow an evolutionary step backward．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
70．The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is
A．Ridiculous B．disgusting C．acceptable D．reasonable
71．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．We should applaud good behavior．
B．Technology can never be blamed
C．We should keep pointing out mistakes．
D．Technology will take over lives one day．

Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place． Around 1870,it was
experiencing an economic(经济的)boom, and the capital, Buenos Aires, attracted many
people． Farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to Buenos Aires
seeking jobs． These jobs didn’t pay well, and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their
new life in the city． As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the
dance known an the tango(探戈舞)came into being
At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes． It was danced in the bars and
streets． At that time there many fewer women the men, so if a man didn’t want to be left out,
his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few
available women． Gradually, the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and
became more respectable．
In Europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning The
interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris． Every kind of dance from
ballet(芭蕾舞)to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters of the Paris
theaters． After tango dances from Argentina arrive in Europe, they began to draw the interest of
the public an they performed their exiting dance in cafes, Though not everyone approved of the
new dance, saying it was a little too shocking, the dance did find enough supporters to make it
popular．
The popularity（流行）Of the tango continued to throw in many other parts of the
world． Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North
America, It reached Japan in 1926,and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local
tango dancer to act an a kind of dance ambassador, and promote tango dancing throughout

Aristotle once wrote that “happiness is a state of activity”． In other words, whether you’re
Seeking life-long satisfaction or a few moments of good cheer, you’ve got to move
forward． We’ve interviewed the experts and found five steps to take toward a sunny mood（心
情）：
Over a 30-year period, University of Illinois researchers asked nearly 120,000 people how
income, education, political participation, volunteer activities and close relationships affected
their happiness． Reported Newsweek’s Sharon Begley on the findings, “The highest levels of
happiness are found with the most stable and satisfying relationships．”
Singing aloud, talking to a stranger, raising your hand: all may increase a feeling of happiness,
according to a study from Wake Forest University． Participants（参与者）followed the
development of their moods for two weeks and reported feeling happier when they were more
outgoing and less happy when reserved or withdrawn．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The editors of forbes.com gave $5 or $20 to 46 strangers by chance．Half the group was told
to spend the money on themselves, while the other half was told to spend it on others．Those
who’d shared the wealth felt much happier at the end of the day than those who’d spent it on
themselves． There was no difference in happiness between those who spent $5 or $20,
suggesting that it’s not how much money you spend, but how you spend it, that inspires the spirit．
Studies from the Positive Psychology Center showed that discouraged people who wrote
down three good things that happened to them each day for six months reported an improved
attitude．
Drinking water really can help keep you cheerful． A small 2012 study from the University of
Connecticut suggested that even slight dehydration（脱水） affected the moods of its female
participants．

21．C【解析】考查名词性从句的引导词。句意：从太空中看，地球是蓝色的。这是因为地
球表面约百分之七十一都被水覆盖着。此处考查的是表语从句的引导词，主要涉及
because 和why 引导表语从句时的区别。分析前后两句之间的逻辑关系可知，此处为"

22．C【解析】考查介词和动词的搭配。句意：在你到某一旅游胜地参观之前，先在你们当
地的图书馆找一本与它有关的书看看。本题考查的是look for 短语，因为in your local

a book about it in your local library 演变而来的。故选C。
23．B【解析】考查状语从句的连接词。本题需要根据句意和前后两个句子之间的逻辑关系
来判断使用哪个关联词。unless"除非"，表示条件；when 表示时间，有时也表条件；

有相似的兴趣时，你们会更容易成为朋友。结合句意可知选B。

处为定语从句的谓语动词，根据其中的时间状语the other day 可知，此处应用一般过
去时。故选A。

有空。but I was not available 表示的是过去的真实情况，为含蓄的条件，相当于if I had
been available (如果我有空的话)。此处为与过去情况相反的虚拟语气，主句应使用
would/might/could/should have done 结构，故选D。
29．D【解析】考查定语从句。句意：莫言获得了2012 年诺贝尔文学奖，这使得中国人很
久以来的梦想之一得以实现。此处为非限制性定语从句，修饰整个主句。it 和what 不
能引导定语从句，可排除。that 不能用于引导非限制性定语从句。故选D。
30．B【解析】考查形容词短语。(be) curious about"对……好奇的"，(be) allergic to "对……
过敏的"；(be) satisfied with "对……满意的"，(be) fond of"喜欢"。根据空格后面的so he

故选B。
31．D【解析】考查短语辨析。句意：如果父母让孩子帮忙做家务，他们会感到自己是被需
要的。而且，他们将学会照顾自己。on the contrary"与此相反"；in a word"总之"，表

的是"，表示递进。此处表示递进，故选D。

因为你掌握了大量的词汇。根据原因状语从句because you know a lot of words 可知，

性，故选B。
35．B【解析】考查交际用语。——你觉得与经理的面试怎么样?——我不确定。他好像对
我的经历感兴趣，但他并没有求证。根据空格后的句子可知说话人持一种模棱两可的态

country"修饰，故选A。
39．B【解析】见37 题解析。have a knowledge of"掌握，了解，熟知"。故选B。

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
43．A【解析】接下来讨论的是学习外语需要大量的时间，由此可知此处是说我们都生活得
很忙碌，但学习外语需要时间。故选A。
44．B【解析】见上题解析。谈论的是学习外语需要时间，故选B。
45．C【解析】根据前半句中的"regularly"可知选C。如果定期学习外语，成功的机会更大
些，所以要努力养成习惯。routine"惯例，常规"。
46．B【解析】要学到流利的程度需要数年的时间，但只要求说得过去，需要的时间则少得
多。but 表示转折，前一句说的是需要很多时间，后一句自然说的相反。故选B。
47．A【解析】根据接下来的"children"和"adults"可知，本段讨论的是学习外语与年龄之间
的关系，故选A。许多人开始学习外语，但很快就放弃了。他们会说"我年龄大了"。

51．D【解析】本文讨论的是学习外语的事情，故选D。
52．B【解析】此处为"祈使句 + and + 陈述句"结构。放松心态，自嘲自己的错误，这样你
再次犯错的可能性就会大大降低。故选B。
53．D【解析】本句为本段的首句，起着承上启下的作用，是对上文的总结。上文讨论的是
学习外语的众多困难，然后通过"But with some work and devotion， you’ll make
progress."话锋一转，讨论学习外语的收获。故选D。

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
56．D【解析】考查细节理解。根据文章开头部分可知，多数美国老年人没有好的习惯，故
A 项错误；30%的美国老年人每天洗手四次，而不是每周洗澡三天，故B 项错误；根
据第三个问题下Finding 的内容"Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they
should."可知C 项错误。根据第一个问题下Finding 的内容"A full 33% of seniors brush
their teeth only once a day."可知D 项表述正确。
57．D【解析】考查细节理解。根据第二个问题下Finding 中的"And nearly 30% wash their
hands only 4 times a day — half of the number doctors recommend."可知，每天洗手
四次只是医生建议的一半，由此可知，医生建议的次数是每天八次。故选D。
58．C【解析】考查细节理解。根据第三个问题下Step 内容中的"Do you know it is not your
toilet but your kitchen sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else?"
可知C 项正确。
59．B【解析】考查文章出处。通读全文可知，本文显然不是书评(a book review)，也不是
政府文件(an official document)。A 项有较强的干扰性，但本文主要是面向公众的日常
知识普及，而不是生活指导。故选B。
60．C【解析】考查细节理解。根据第一段最后一句"The more roads and parking lots we pave，
the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater."可知选C。
61．B【解析】考查推理判断。根据第二段首句"Human activity is not responsible for all water
shortages (短缺)."可排除A。根据第三段最后一句"This shows how much we depend
on water to live， but there’s a lot we can do to lower the number."可知D 不正确。
该句中的the number 指的是用水量，而不是家庭的人数，C 不正确。根据全文的内容
可推知，由于存在水浪费、水污染现象，并且水需求不断增长，所以要解决水资源短
缺矛盾需要付出大量的努力。故选B。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
62．D【解析】考查写作意图。本段首句"You can take steps to save water in your home."
是主题句，接下来从几个方面举例说明了节约水资源的方法。显然，本段主要是讨论我
们在家里应该如何节约用水。故选D。
63．D【解析】考查主旨大意。 通读全文可知，本文为议论文，讨论的是人类活动对水资
源的隐形影响。故选D。
64．A【解析】考查细节理解。 根据第一段第二句"But Sophia knew just how important
Make-A-Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a
dream come true for one of her best friends."可知选A。
65．A【解析】考查细节理解。根据第二段"Sophia told us that Make-A-Wish is a worldwide
organization that started in the United States in 1980. ‘It’s a charity (慈善机构) that
helps children who have got very serious illnesses…come true，’ Sophia explained."
可知答案。
66．B【解析】考查细节理解。根据第三段第二句"She said it had all begun with a very sick
young boy called Chris， who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a
policeman."以及下文中的"When people saw how delighted Chris was when his
dream came true， they decided to try and help other sick children too， and that was
the beginning of Make-A-Wish"可知答案为B。
67．A【解析】考查正误判断和推理判断。根据最后一段第三句"Sophia said the volunteers
were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come
true."可知A 正确。
68．C【解析】考查句意理解。文章开门见山地提出了论点"People are ruder today because
they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before"，画线句子是对上述观点的一
个形象比喻，是对上句观点的展开。故选C。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
69．A【解析】考查推理判断。根据第二段内容，尤其是第二、三句"To them， dealing with
an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because
humans don’t work at 4G speeds."可推知，一些人不太愿意与人打交道是因为他们变
得不太有耐心，故选A。
70．B【解析】查作者观点。根据第三段最后一句"Upsetting people with unsigned messages
is cruel and disgusting."可知答案。
71．A【解析】考查综合理解。B 是对最后一段首句"We shouldn’t blame technology for our
shortcomings."的错误解读；根据最后一句"People spend a lot of time pointing out bad
manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly acknowledge good
manners when we see them."可知C 不正确。D 是对最后一段第二句"Technology is
here to help us， but we should not allow it to take over our lives."的错误解读，如果
我们人类听之任之，这种情况就可能出现，如果我们致力于改变这一不好的现象，则
不会出现这种情况。根据最后一句中的"but it would be even more helpful if we’d
publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them"可知A 正确。
72．D【解析】考查细节理解。文章第一、二段介绍的是探戈舞的起源，belly dancing 是当
时在欧洲流行的舞蹈之一，与探戈舞的起源无关，因此A 项可排除；一战归来的美国
士兵将探戈舞带到了美国，这属于探戈舞的发展史，而不是起源，B 项也可排除；C
项和D 项为两个地名，通读第一段可知，探戈舞起源于阿根廷的首都Buenos Aires，
故选D。
73．C【解析】考查细节理解。 A 项的内容文中没有提及，故排除A 项；根据第二段的首
句"At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes."和最后一句
"Gradually， the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
became more respectable."可排除B 项；D 项与最后一段最后一句中的"and in 2003
the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of
dance ambassador， and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea"不符；根
据第二段的第三句"At that time there were many fewer women than men， so if a
man didn’t want to be left out， his only choice was to dance with another man so
that he could attract the attention of the few available women."可知C 项正确。
74．C【解析】考查细节理解。 通读全文后可知，探戈舞传到美国是在第一次世界大战之
后，传到日本是在1926 年，在韩国流传开来是在2003 年，显然A、B、D 三项均可
排除。根据第三段的内容可知，探戈舞在其诞生后不久就传到了法国，其诞生大约是
在1870 年，因此传到法国应该是在一战前。故选C。
75．B【解析】考查主旨大意。本文介绍的是探戈舞的起源及其发展史，故选B。
译文：当时，(跳探戈舞的)女性比男性少得多，所以，如果某个男子不想被冷落的话，
他唯一的选择就是和另一个男子跳舞，以便能够吸引为数不多的女性的注意。
76．Look(ing)/Search(ing)/Seek(ing)
【解析】考查主旨大意。根据第一段第二句中的"whether you’re seeking life-long
satisfaction or a few moments of good cheer"可直接得出答案。也可使用同义词
look(ing)/search(ing)。本空作为文章的标题使用动词原形或-ing 形式均可。
77．forward/ahead/on
【解析】考查直接获取文中信息的能力。根据第一段第二句中的"you’ve got to move
forward"可直接得出答案，也可使用ahead/on。
78．experts/researchers
【斐然英语十年真题系列】

the experts"和第二段首句中的"University of Illinois researchers asked nearly 120，
000 people"可得出答案。
79．steps/ways
【解析】考查直接获取文中信息的能力。根据第一段最后一句中的"and found five steps
to take toward a sunny mood(心情)"可直接得出答案。
80．greatest
【解析】考查对文章信息同义转化的能力。根据第二段最后一句中的"The highest levels
of happiness are found with the most stable and satisfying relationships."可知，将
highest levels of 转换为greatest 即可得出答案。
81．Express
【解析】考查对文章信息整合提炼的能力。本框对应的是第三段的内容。根据第三段首
句中的"Singing aloud， talking to a stranger， raising your hand： all may increase
a feeling of happiness"可得出答案。
82．sharing
【解析】考查信息转换的能力。本框对应的是第四段的内容，根据第四段的第三句
"Those who’d shared the wealth felt much happier at the end of the day than those
who’d spent it on themselves."中的shared 进行转换即可得出答案。
83．Focus/Concentrate
【解析】考查对文章信息整合提炼的能力。本空对应的是第五段的内容。根据本行右栏
中的"fix your attention on good things"可得出答案。fix one’s attention
on=focus/concentrate on。
84．feeling/mood/sense
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
【解析】考查直接获取文中信息的能力。由文章最后一段的内容可知，喝水可以帮助你
保持愉快的心情，故这里要填feeling/mood/sense。
85．these/those
【解析】考查对文章信息整合提炼的能力。此处是对全文的总结，使用all these/those
指代上面的五种措施。
86．
On the Way to School
These days， breaking traffic rules and littering are not uncommon， causing serious
harm to life and the environment. Changing this situation requires considerable effort on
the part of everyone. As for me， it should start on my way to school.
I will keep traffic rules in mind all the way. If I ride a bike， I’ll always keep to the right and
never cross a road until the traffic light turns green. If I walk， I’ll never forget to use the
pedestrian crossing. Meanwhile， I will regard it as my duty to help keep our environment
clean and healthy. Not only will I keep from littering or spitting anywhere， but I will help
clean up the roadside litter whenever possible. I hope my behaviour will make a
difference.

A Leap（跳跃） to Honor
Leaping on a narrow balance beam（平衡木） is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old
gymnast, is an expert at it.
To perfect her skills, Lola 36 for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state
championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.
That’s especially impressive.
37 she is legally blind, born with a rare condition
that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t _38 how
far
away
things are.
When she was little, her mom 39
that even though she couldn’t see
40 ,
she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the
41 right away and gymnastics became her favorite.
Though learning gymnastics has been more 42 for her than for some of her
tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her _43 stop her from doing anything that
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
she wants to.
She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest
44_ is the balance
beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees to beams. She must use her sense of touch
to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to 45_
your
mind that it’ll take you where you want to go.” says Lola.
To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most 46
for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall 47 the
beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10---- her highest score yet.
Lola doesn’t want to be
48 differently from the other girls on her team. At the
competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision _49 _. She doesn’t tell them, because she
doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her _50
attitude.
Lola never thinks about 51__. She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in
gymnastics. Her 52 is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass
down what she’s learned to other kids 53 she grew up.
Lola is 54
of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome
problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her 55 for others is “just believe yourself”.

Tail Spin
Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin Grace, shown
off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing
about her, however, is that she’s even swimming at all. she doesn’t have a tail.
Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap. When the dolphin arrived
at the Ocean Park in December 2005, she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it?” Her
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it --- but her tail didn’t. She ended up
losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.
Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving
their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another way---like a fish!
She pushed herself forward through the water by moving her peduncles from side to side.
The movement put harmful pressure on Grace’s backbone. So a company offered to create a
man-made tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft
enough that it wouldn’t hurt her.
The first time Grace wore the artificial tail. She soon shook it off and let it sink in the bottom
of the pool. Now, she is still learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time,
others not at all. “The tail isn’t necessary for her to feel comfortable,” says Stone, “but it helps to
keep that range of motion(动作) and build muscles(肌肉).”
Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month, Grace will star in
Dolphin Tale, a film that focus on her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired more than
just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her
man-made tail gives people so much courage.
60. When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer worried about her
.
A. physical build B. potential ability
C. chance of survival

Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo
animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s
attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without
being photographed or interrupted for a signature.
According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities — famous people — worry
constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really
are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before
everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C.,
painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers.
When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted
thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s
and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites
do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars
cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they
say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in
minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is
there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted
friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how
famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice
often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
63. It can be learned from the passage that stars today .
A. are often misunderstood by the public
B. can no longer have their privacy protected
C. spend too much on their public appearance
D. care little about how they have come into fame
64. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
65. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
A. Availability of modern media.
B. Inadequate social recognition.
C. Lack of favorable chances.
D. Huge population of fans.
66. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?
A. Sincere.
B. Skeptical.
C. Disapproving.
D. Sympathetic.
D
Multitasking
People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new
research suggests. The findings, based on performances and self-evaluation by about 275 college
students, indicate the people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because
they are easily distracted (分心) and can’t focus on one activity. And “those people turn out to be
the worst at handling different things,” said Sanbonmatsu, a psychologist at the University of
Utah.
Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report
how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensation-seeking
(寻求刺激) or imperative (冲动)they were. They then evaluated the participants’ multitasking
ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical
calculations while remembering a set of letters.
Not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at
multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a
cellophane while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once. But those who frequently
deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual
multitasking test. They also were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive
behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted.
“People multitask not because it’s going to lead to greater productivity, but because they’re
distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important.” Sanbonmatsu said.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Adam Gauzily, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not a
member of the research group, said one limitation of the study was that it couldn’t find out
whether people who start out less focused toward multitasking or whether people’s recognizing
and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.
The findings do suggest, however, why the sensation-seeker who multitask the most may
enjoy risky distracted driving. “People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky
situations.” said Paul Ackley, another researcher not in the group. “This may partly explain why
people go in for these situations even though they’re dangerous.”
67. The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask
.
A. seek high productivity constantly
B. prefer handling different things when getting bored
C. are more focused when doing many things at a time
D. have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time
68. When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they .
A. assessed the multitasking ability of the students
B. evaluated the academic achievements of the students
C. analyzed the effects of the participants’ tricky mental tasks
D. measured the changes of the students’ understanding ability
69. According to Sanbonmatsu, people multitask because of their _.
A. limited power in calculation
B. interests in doing things differently
C. inability to concentrate on one task
D. impulsive desire to try new things
70. From the last paragraph, we can learn that multitaskers usually .
A. drive very skillfully
B. go in for different tasks
C. fail to react quickly to potential dangers
D. refuse to explain the reasons for their behavior

Urbanization
Until relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever
seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. 71_ . In
fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th
century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history--- a society in which the
majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.
Britain was only the beginning. 72_ .The process of urbanization--- the migration (迁
移) of people from the countryside to the city--- was the result of modernization, which has
rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.
In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans
live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 73 .
Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced
agricultural societies. It took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities.
_74
. Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the
servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were
limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the
ability to move this surplus from farm to city.
Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the
city and the country. 75_ . Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city
people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.
A. That kept cities very small.
B. The rest live in small towns.
C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.
D. Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies.
E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.
F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.
G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.

动关系，所以用现在完成时的被动语态。
24．B【解析】句意：她发现这门课程非常难，决定转学一门较低水平的(课程)。she 与find

with sb 表示"和某人有个约会"。
27．D【解析】句意：许多国家现在正在建立国家公园，动植物可以在这里得到保护。where

引导的是宾语从句，that 在从句中没有词义，不作成分，可以省略。
34．D【解析】句意：如果我们早点儿预订了餐桌，(现在)就不必站着排队等候了。本句是
混合虚拟语气，从句是过去情况的假设，主句是对现在情况的虚拟，故从句用过去完成

35．A【解析】第一个说话人认为不会下雨，因此觉得“我”没有必要带雨伞。根据答语第一

43．D【解析】她不让自身的"疾病"阻止她做任何自己想做的事情。此处与第三段中的"a rare
condition"相呼应。
44．C【解析】她最喜欢的运动是体操，而她的眼睛又有问题，由此可知她最大的"挑战"是
平衡木。
45．D【解析】本段提到由于眼睛有问题，她经常看到两根平衡木，因而必须凭借触觉，有
时她甚至闭上眼睛，由此可知她认为必须"信任"自己的内心。
46．A【解析】本句的后半句提到平衡木只有四英寸宽，由此可知对任何人而言，它也许是
最"令人恐惧的"东西。
47．C【解析】在国家锦标赛中，Lola 没有从平衡木上掉下来。fall off 表示"从(某物上)掉下
"。
48．B【解析】下一句提到在比赛时裁判都不知道她的眼睛有问题，由此可知她不想在比赛
中被区别"对待"。
49．D【解析】根据本段中的内容可知比赛时裁判们不知道她的视力有"问题"。第三段中提
到她的眼睛天生不正常，由此可排除A、B、C 三项。

52．D【解析】她现在的水平是7 级，而体操的最高水平是10 级，由此可知她的"目标"是

53．C【解析】她说当她长大后，想当一名体操教练，把自己学到的东西传授给其他孩子。
此处when 表示"当……的时候"。as 表示"当……的时候"时，多强调同时发生，用在

57．A【解析】第三段第一句提到这种加热器不会减少室内的氧气，下一句提到其他的加热
器会因燃烧掉氧气而让你感到昏昏欲睡，由此可推断是这种加热器不消耗氧气，也不会

可判断是B 项不正确;根据第二段的最后一句可知D 项错误，故选A。
58．D【解析】本段提到这种先进的加热器的覆盖面积多达350 英尺，而其他的加热器的大
部分热量只集中在中央，再结合本段最后一句的内容可推测出这种加热器可以把热量"

段提到这种移动对她的脊骨有害，所以一家公司为她制造了一条人造尾巴，由此可推断

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
62．D【解析】考查推理判断。Grace 失去了尾巴，但是她坚强地活了下来，甚至还用残缺
的身体学会了另一种游泳方式，再结合最后一段最后一句中的"courage"可知，她的故

63．B【解析】考查推理判断。第一段的后半部分提到狗仔队驻扎在明星家附近伺机拍摄，
小报散布有关他们私生活的耸人听闻的消息，还有无处不在的拍录和签名，由此可推测
如今的明星毫无隐私可言。
64．B【解析】考查段落大意。本段的第一句是主题句，根据本句的内容可知，名人所面临
的问题由来已久。
65．A【解析】考查推理判断。第四段的开头部分提到如今做一名公众人物比以往更加困难，
再结合本段中的"modern cameras"和"the Internet"可知，之所以这样是因为现代化媒体
在推波助澜。
66．D【解析】考查态度推断。结合第一段中的"today’s stars， feeling like zoo animals， face
pressures that few of us can imagine"以及最后一段后两句中的内容可知，作者对现代
名人满怀"同情"。
67．D【解析】考查细节理解。根据第一段第一句内容可知，由Sanbonmatsu 的研究表明
喜欢多任务化的人在同时做多件事情时，表现最差。此外，第三段第二句的内容也是提
示。
68．A【解析】考查细节理解。根据第二段第二句的内容可知，他和同事在进行研究时，评
估了学生的多任务化能力。
69．C【解析】考查细节理解。根据第一段后半部分中的"but because they are easily
distracted(分心) and can’t focus on one activity"可知，人们进行多任务化的原因是他们
不具备专注于一项任务的能力。此外，倒数第三段的内容也是提示。
70．C【解析】考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"People who are multitasking are generally
less sensitive to risky situations"可知，喜欢多任务化的人一般对危险情况不太敏感，
由此可推断他们通常不能对潜在的危险做出快速的反应。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
71．E【解析】结合上一句以及下一句的内容可知，此处是按时间顺序叙述城市化的进程的，
且E 项中的"only a few people could live in cities"与下一句中的"nearly everyone
lived on farms"相呼应。
72．D【解析】上一段的后半部分提到英国在20 世纪成为第一个城市化社会，本段第一句
提到英国仅仅是开端，由此可知不久以后许多其他工业国家也成为了城市化社会。
73．B【解析】结合前两句中提到的82%和2%可知，此处应叙述其余的人居住在何处。
74．A【解析】根据前两句的内容，尤其是"Large cities were impossible"可知，受农业社会
的限制，当时的城市规模很小。本段后半部分提到的当时的城市规模受限于剩余食物
的数量也是线索提示。
75．F【解析】上一句中提到工业革命打破了城市和农村的平衡，再结合下一句中的"one
American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers"可判断此项正确。

by his newfound success, Joe moved quickly throughout the room． Soon math time was
followed by the time for 43 ． All children naturally drew 44 pictures on such a

Since then, Joe started 45 ． Though he never made it to the top, his math teacher was

The morning had been a disaster． My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a
friend． Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my
place． Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the
ache in my tooth． I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the
pain was really unbearable． I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could
see me immediately． Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky．
“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in．”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car． But suddenly I began to doubt about the
dentist． What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why
wasn’t he as busy as the others?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around． I saw nothing but the bare walls and I
became even more worried． The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand
over my ice-cold one．
When I told my fears, she laughed and said, ‘Don’t worry． The dentist is very good．”
“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently．
“Come on, he is coming． Just lie down and relax． And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant
said．
“The artwork?” I was puzzled．
The chair went back． Suddenly I smiled． There was a beautiful picture, right where I could
enjoy it: on the ceiling． How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to
understand what my friend meant by her words．
What a relief!

Almost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the
first wheel was invented or what it was used for． We do know, however, that they existed over
5,500 years ago in ancient Asia．
The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia． It is over 5,100
years old． Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn’t become popular for a while,
though． This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and
humans around．
But it could also be because of a difficult situation． While wheels need to roll on smooth
surface, roads with smooth surfaces weren’t going to be constructed until there was plenty of
demand for them． Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation
appeared again a few centuries later． There had been no important changes in wheel and
vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer (层) of
large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones． A Scotsman improved on this design in
the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality． At around the same time, metal
hubs (the central part of a wheel) came into being, followed by the pneumatic tyre (充气轮胎) in
1846． Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads
(柏油路)． As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster．
64．What might explain why transport wheels didn’t become popular for some time?
A．Few knew how to use transport wheels．
B．Humans carried farming tools just as well．
C．Animals were a good means of transport．
D．The existence of transport wheels was not known．
65．What do we know about road design from the passage?
A． It was easier than wheel design．
B． It improved after big changes in vehicle design．
C． It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles．
D． It provided conditions for wheel design to develop．
66．How is the last paragraph mainly developed?
A．By giving examples．
B．By making comparisons．
C．By following time order．
D．By making classifications．
67．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The beginning of road design．
B．The development of transport wheels．
C．The history of public transport．
D．The invention of fast-moving vehicles．

Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of
water covering 33 million square miles． The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean
as the inland sea of Western civilization． Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness． It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much
written about by ancient poets．
“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind’s
earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic．
When the wind is from the west
All the waves that cannot rest
To the east must thunder on
Where the bright tree of the sun
Is rooted in the ocean’s breast．
As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull． It is an ocean that moves,
impressively and endlessly． It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing,
and whistling．
It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in
mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach． It mimics
(模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature． It is filled with symbiotic
existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths
in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean
vitality． And it has a psychology． It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare
occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking．
68．Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is _____．
A． always energetic
B． lacking in liveliness
C． shaped like a square
D． favored by ancient poets
69．What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?
A． To describe the movement of the waves．
B． To show the strength of the storm．
C． To represent the power of the ocean．
D． To prove the vastness of the sea．
70．What does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A． Living together．
B． Growing fast．
C． Moving harmoniously．
D． Breathing peacefully．
71．In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to _____．
A． a beautiful and poetic place
B． a flesh and blood person
C． a wonderful world
D． a lovely animal
E
It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather． Such a fixation
with the weather finds expression in Dr．Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English
meet, their first talk is of weather．” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was
over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation
for this English weather-speak．
Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the
obsession with it can hardly be understood． He argues that “To an outsider, the most striking
thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it．” Simply, the reason is that
the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles．
Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by
nature attractive． Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has
nothing to do with the natural phenomena． “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves,
but in uncertainty．” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain
and it attracts the English as well as the outsider．
Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the
English． Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point ． The English weather
conversation is not really about the weather at all． English weather-speak is a system of signs,
which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each
other． Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather
data． Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”． In other
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding．
72．The author mentions Dr．Johnson’s comment to show that _____．
A． most commentators agree with Dr．Johnson
B． Dr．Johnson is famous for his weather observation
C． the comment was accurate two hundred years ago
D． English conversations usually start with the weather
73．What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?
A．A social trend．
B．An emotional state．
C．A historical concept．
D．An unknown phenomenon．
74．According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that _____．
A． Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B． there is nothing special about the English weather
C． the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D． English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
75．What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?
A． To explain what English weather-speak is about．
B． To analyze misconceptions about the English weather．
C． To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman．
D． To convince people that the English weather is changeable．

的。由前后分句的意义可知，此处表示转折关系，故用but。

家庭成员。该定语从句的先行词指人，且"most of "在从句中充当主语，空处位
于介词后，故用关系代词whom 引导。
25．C【解析】考查状语从句。句意：除非有足够的证据，否则我们就不能胜诉。unless"
除非"；once"一旦"；as long as"只要"； since"既然"。根据句意可知C 项正确。

形式。从句补充完整为"if we hadn’t taken an umbrella"。
30．B【解析】考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，my mother 与tell 之间为逻辑上的主
谓关系，故用动词的-ing 形式。having done 表示这个动作先于主句动作发生，与句

的道路设计之前，轮子和车辆的设计是没有重大变化的。故D 项"道路设计为轮子设
计的发展提供了条件"正确。
66．C【解析】考查文章结构。根据第四段中的"mid-1700s" "1820s" "1846" "1967"可知，
整个段落是按时间顺序展开说明的。
67．B【解析】考查主旨大意。由文章全文内容尤其是第一段可知，本文主要介绍了轮子的
发展，所以B 项正确。
68．A【解析】考查细节理解。由第一段第三句"Unlike real inland seas， which seem
strangely still， the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness．"可知，大西洋总是精力充
沛的。
69．C【解析】考查推理判断。由第一段最后一句"It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality
has been much written about by ancient poets．"可知，作者在文中引用这首诗歌正
是为了举例说明大西洋的生机与活力。
70．A【解析】考查词义猜测。由画线词所在句中的"unimaginable quantities of creatures，
little and large alike， mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony"可知，A 项
正确。
71．B【解析】考查推理判断。由最后一段最后一句"It has personalities： sometimes peaceful
and pleasant．．．"可知，作者把大西洋比作具有个性的人，所以B 正确。
72．D【解析】考查推理判断。由第一段第一句"It is widely known that any English
conversation begins with The Weather．"可知，英国人喜欢以谈论天气来开始一段对
话，而下文Dr． Johnson 的话证明了这一点。
73．B【解析】考查词义猜测。由画线词所在句中的"as the English weather is not at all
exciting， the obsession with it can hardly be understood"可知，英国的天气一点也
不令人振奋，英国人对谈论天气的痴迷，让人很难理解。a social trend"一种社会趋势
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
"；an emotional state"一种情绪状态"；a historical concept"一个历史概念"；an
unknown phenomenon"一种未知的现象"。故选B。
74．D【解析】考查细节理解。由第三段的第三句"The interest is less in the phenomena
themselves， but in uncertainty．"可知答案为D。
75．A【解析】考查写作目的。通读全文可知，本文主要讨论了英国人经常以谈论天气作为
谈话开始的原因。作者在文中列出了两个人对这一问题的误解，并在最后一段指出，
英国人谈论天气是为了克服含蓄的天性，建立社交关系。因此A 项正确。
76．【范文赏读】：
Some children are so busy with their own business that they have no time for their
parents．
Sadly， this is anything but rare among today’s children． It is all right for them to do
whatever they want， but isn’t it also of great importance to talk to the ones who show
them selfless love? Talking to parents is not only a means of knowing them and avoiding
misunderstanding but also a perfect way to learn how to love them in return．
【解析】本题所给材料的主要内容为：孩子总是在忙自己的事情而没有时间与母亲交流。因
此，在行文时应该围绕"交流、沟通"这一中心。全文可分为两段：第一段用自己的话
简要说明现象；第二段发表看法和观点。

Dear Sir or Madam，
I’m a student from Chongqing， China． I’m writing to call your attention to the danger

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Seriously affected by human activities， finless porpoises in the Yangtze River are in
danger of becoming extinct． To our disappointment， only about 1，000 are
estimated to be still living at present．
We sincerely hope that WWF can play a role in protecting this endangered
species． Firstly， a sponsorship will be of great help． But more importantly， we
need information from experts in WWF to help us better understand the animal thus
being able to take better care of them．
Thank you for your attention and I’m looking forward to your reply．
Yours Sincerely，

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
When I was 12, all I wanted was a signet (图章) ring． They were the "in" thing and it
seemed every girl except me had one． On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with
my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it． I was in heaven．
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being
"replaced"． We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had
lost everything—so most of the " new" stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd
lost． But not my ring． My ring was new．
Then, only one month later, I lost it． I took it off before bed and it was missing in the
morning ． I was sad and searched everywhere for it ． But it seemed to have
disappeared． Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it． And two years later, we sold the
house and moved away．
Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that
she had something for me． It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other
gift-giving occasion． Mum noticed my questioning look． " You'll recognize this one," she said,
smiling．
Then she handed me a small ring box． I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful
signet ring inside． The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to
do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets． When they pulled the carpet up in
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
my old bedroom, they found the ring． As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who
owned the ring． They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my
mother． And it still fits me．
56．The underlined word "in" in the first paragraph probably means "_____"．
A．fashionable B．available C．practical D．renewable
57．When she got the ring back, the writer was about _____．
A．13 years old B．15 years old C．26 years old D．28 years old
58．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The writer's family moved several times．
B．The writer never stopped looking for her ring．
C．The writer's ring was cleaned up by the new house owner．
D．The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off．
59．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．My New Ring
B．Lost and Found
C．Lost and Replaced
D．An Expensive Ring
B
Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for
the switch． Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the
futuristic eyewear is likely to include．
" I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a． m． and going to the bar and wanted to
see what was open," said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene．
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600,
the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already
available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen
about one's surroundings． So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would
pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into
view right on the sidewalk in front of you．
" As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs," said
Sam Biddle, who writes for Gizmodo．com． " We're accustomed to having one thing in our
pocket to do all these things," he added, "and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars．"
9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like
glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be
as common as smartphones．
"It's just like smartphones 10 years ago," Weintraub said． "A few people started getting
emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy． Same kind of thing． We see people
bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural," he said． " There's gonna
be improvements to that, and this a step there． "
60．One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ____．
A．program the opening hours of a bar
B．supply you with a picture of the future
C．provide information about your surroundings
D．update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
61．The underlined phrase "pop up" in the third paragraph probably means " ____"．
A．develop rapidly B．get round quickly
C．appear immediately D．go over automatically
62．According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are ____．
A．necessary for teenagers B．attractive to New Yorkers
C．available to people worldwide D．expensive for average consumers
63．We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ____．
A．may have a potential market B．are as common as smartphones
C．are popular among young adults
D．will be improved by a new technology
C

Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman
Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's most famous work, might be updated,
200 years on．
Austen's popularity is rooted in her intelligence． But today she would certainly have had a
very different life, as would her characters． Here's my own suggestion．．．
It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves
to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism．
" My dear husband," said his hopeful wife one day, " have you heard that the local store,
standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?"
Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not．
"But it is, it is," she replied excitedly．
Mr Dull-Husband made no reply．
"Don't you want to know her plans?" she cried with some impatience．
"Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head．．． so I'd better listen． "
"Well, my dear, the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful
businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
me． She will move in herself next month．
"What is her name?"
"Bingley．
"Is she married or single?"
"What a question! And none of your business． But her coming will be a fine thing for our
five boys． "
"How so? How can it possibly affect them? "
"My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up． There are bound to be
jobs going． "
" Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the
place． "
" Nonsense, my love, how little you've noticed the world has changed． She's got a first-rate
degree and some sort of business qualification, I'm told． She surely needs one of our boys!
Perhaps you might give her a call． "
" Me? No． Perhaps you can take an interest． You still have your looks, after all． She may
even offer you a job． "
"Oh, that's not likely． These new chances belong to the younger generation． But now you
mention it, I think I'll go along all the same． "
And Mrs Bennet went along． That was 10 years ago． She is now managing director of a
FTSE-listed company．
．．． It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women
on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a
more "female" dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city's business leaders shorter than
theirs． Still, she'd no doubt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with
influential figures．
67．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Austen was born 200 years ago．
B．Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice．
C．Austen's success lies in her wisdom．
D．Austen's updated work gains popularity．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
68．The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet ____．
A．had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley
B．felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley
C．was extremely anxious to meet Bingley
D．had a great curiosity about Bingley
69．In the eyes of Mrs Bennet, Bingley surely needed one of their boys to ____．
A．get married to B．work for her
C．help her move in
D．take over her store
70．What does the writer intend to tell us?
A．Women with brains can also be as successful as men．
B．Women have to pay a high price for success．
C．A judgment must be made free from prejudice．
D．Sex discrimination still exists nowadays．

A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth．
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students
and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21．
Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said; "We set up Young Inspirations because we
wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden
their outlook．
"We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our
youth． For example, we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda．
"At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer
this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to
help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help
shape their futures． " Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited
from the program so far． In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young
Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛)．
The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
future of youth and education should look． Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in
their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event． Kieran thinks the trip was a life
changing experience．" Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got
there we didn't stop, it was amazing," he said, " We went to three or four hours of debates each
day and then did something cultural each afternoon．"
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life． It
dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment．
Kieran said: " It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my
school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August．"
The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury．For details
visit www．younginspirations．com．
71．The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to _____．
A．train staff for world-famous firms
B．offer job opportunities to young adults
C．provide youth with unique experiences
D．equip the unemployed with different skills
72．According to Alex Goldberg, it is difficult for schools to offer the mentoring due to _____．
A．the lack of support from firms B．the cultural differences
C．the effect of unemployment
D．the shortage of money
73．According to the passage, the forum focused on how youth can ____．
A．build up their confidence at school
B．find work experience opportunities
C．improve their social skills for the future
D．play an active role in the change of society
74．We can learn from the passage that _____．
A．the visit to the United Kingdom was amazing
B．Kieran has made great progress in many aspects
C．the youth have found a way to solve their problems

From the picture we can see a family of three walking on a long red carpet. The son, well
dressed, waves proudly in the middle while the father behind bends forward to hold the jacket
and the mother in front rolls out the carpet, sweating. ks5u
It shows a common phenomenon nowadays that children are the focus of families, shouldering
the hope of their parents. Parents arrange everything for their children and spare no effort to
pave the way for their success. As a consequence, children become so reliant on their parents
that they have no independent thought or creative ideas.ks5u
Such a situation is of great concern. In my opinion, overprotection and too much care are
extremely bad for children's development. Instead of doing everything for them, parents should
encourage their children to overcome difficulties and inspire them to develop by themselves.
Only in this way can they grow up to be independent and become truly successful.

Number sense is not the ability to count． It is the ability to recognize a 1 in
number． Human
beings are born with this ability． 2 ，experiments show that many
animals are, too． For example, many birds have good number sense． If a nest has four eggs
and you remove one, the bird will not 3 ．However, if you remove two, the bird 4
leaves． This means that the bird knows the 5 between two and three．
Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 6 number sense． A man was trying to
take a photo of a crow (乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw
him coming． The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower． The man had an 8 ． He
took another man with him to the tower． One man left and the other stayed, but they did not
9 the bird． The crow stayed away until the second man left, too． The experiment was 10
with three men and then with four men． But the crow did not return to the nest until all the
men were 11 ．It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they
were 12 able to fool the crow．
How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good． For example, babies about
fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13
group． But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14 fooled．
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this
world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow's．

Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we
fear．Children know this very well． Fred Epstein , in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he
heard from one of friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone． He
came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes，Dr．Epstein explained
that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he
led．
The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid．”Maybe I could
go as Superman ,”he whispered to his mom． Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a
while． She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装)，finally she agreed．
The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital
halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way． And Tom，with the
strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation．
The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only． we all have the power
to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible to go through those things that
seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could, Just as Dr．Epstein puts it ,”If
you can dream it, you can do it”
It doesn‘t mean that you should dress as a superhero for you next job interview． But, next
time you are texted in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome
it ．Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind
first． So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream．
26． What do we know about Tom?
A．He was seriously ill
B． He was a dishonest boy．
C． He was crazy about magic
D． He was Dr．Epstein’s patient
27． What can be inferred about Tom’s mother?
A． She was a rich lady
B． She refused Tom’s request
C． She wanted Tom to be a superhero
D． She wanted to get Tom through the
pain
28． When Tom went for the third operation, he ．
A． pretended to be painful
B． acted like a superhero
C． appeared in poor spirits
D． argued with his mother
29． In the last paragraph, you are advised ．
A． to go through some difficult tests
B． to wake up from your wild dreams
C． to become a powerful person in your mind
D． to wear expensive clothes for job interviews
30．What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To tell us an interesting story．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．To help us make right decisions．
C．To advise us to care about children．
D．To encourage us to use our imagination．
B
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the
right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck． I’m not going to say
luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do． Some people are born
into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of
how life is．
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more
practical． And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend
at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing． To become great at certain things, it’ll require
even more time, time that most people won’t put in．
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love． If
you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit
well before you ever become good at it．
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you
know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost． It’s sometimes
easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does
you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway．
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out,
almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time． If you’re not willing to put in
the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards． Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee
you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at
whatever it is you put all that work into．
31．Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________．
A．the reasons for success
B．the meaning of success
C．the standards of success
D．the importance of success
32．In Paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to ______．

C． putting in more time
D． succeeding in life
33．Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______．
A． work makes one feel pain
B． one tends to enjoy his work
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C． one gives up his work easily
D． it takes a lot of time to succeed
34．What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A． Successful people like to show their great skills．
B． People sometimes succeed without luck or talent．
C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life．
D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success．
35．What is the main theme of the passage?
A．Having a goal is vital to success．
B．Being good is different from being great．
C．One cannot succeed without time and practice．
D．Luck, talent and family help to achieve success．
C
One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in
my office． It was David． He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands
shaking slightly． His head teacher had referred him to me． "This boy has lost his family," he
wrote． "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried
about him． Can you help?”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair． How could I help him? There are problems
psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe． Sometimes the best
thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically
The first two times we met, David didn't say a word． He sat there, only looking up to look
at the children's drawings on the wall behind me． I suggested we play a game of chess． He
nodded． After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon 一in complete silence
and without looking at me． It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won
once or twice．
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and
began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down． It seemed as if he enjoyed my
company． But why did he never look at me?
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought． "Perhaps he senses
that I respect his suffering．”Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at
me suddenly．
"Ifs your turn," he said．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
After that day, David started talking． He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club． He
wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into
university． Now he had really started to live his own life．
Maybe I gave David something．But I also learned that one----without any words----can
reach out to another person． All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an
ear that listens．
36．When he first met the author, David ．
A． felt a little excited B． walked energetically
C． looked a little nervous D． showed up with his teacher
37． As a psychologist, the author ．
A．was ready to listen to David B．was skeptical about psychology
C．was able to describe David's problem D．was sure of handling David's problem
38．David enjoyed being with the author because he________．
A．wanted to ask the author for advice
B． need to share sorrow with the author
C．liked the children’s drawings in the office
D． bear the author many times in the chess game
39．What can be inferred about David?

slowing down?
In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the
booming field of online education． The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the
institution and to online education in general． Only with solid measures against cheating,
experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid — that
students haven’t just searched the Internet to get the right answers．
Although online classes have existed for more than a decade ，the concern over cheating
has become sharper in the last year with the growth of "open online courses．" Private colleges，
public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field ． spending
millions of dollars to attract potential students，while also taking steps to help guarantee
honesty at a distance．
Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming
increasingly popular Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal
information, such as the telephone number they once used．
Other programs can produce unique exam by drawing on a large list of questions and can
recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test question are answered at the
same speed as easy ones ,As in many university classes ,term papers are scanned against some
large Internet data banks for cheating．
41．Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?

To many people even the word ‘work’ sounds unpleasant, not necessarily because they are
lazy． The same man, who dislikes his job in the factory or even in the office, may work hard at
the weekend, painting the house or digging the garden．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
What is the reason, then? In most cases, it is because these people simply do not enjoy the
job they are doing． It does not give them any real satisfaction． It may be quite easy, like
making up wooden boxes, but it is very boring． Very often they are doing a job which is just a
small part of a much larger one, such as attaching a door handle to a car． But the part they play
in actually making the car is so small that they can never say: I have made something!
Yet in modern society somebody has to do ordinary jobs such as cleaning streets because
this is the way society is organized． No matter how ordinary a job is, it plays a part in society
and therefore deserves our due respect． Society cannot function a single day without the “dull
and boring” jobs．

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
2013 年全国高考试题独家解析(广东卷)
英语答案
1．C【解析】下文描述的多个试验均与数字改变有关，由此可以推断本文中的number sense
指的是对数字变化的感知能力或敏感性，因此选择 change。
2．B【解析】上文中提及人类天生具有数字感知能力，然后说到鸟类也有这种能力，这确实
“令人惊奇”，所以B 项“令人惊讶地”最贴切。
3．D【解析】倒数第二段中的“…almost always notice if something is taken away”是提示。B
项的care 为干扰项，鸟儿是没“注意到(notice)”数字的变化，而不是不“关心( care)”。
4．A【解析】这里是说在拿走两个蛋的情况下鸟儿的“一般”反应，因此选generally。sincerely
“真诚地，由衷地”；casually“随意地”； deliberately“故意地”。
5．C【解析】这意味着鸟儿能够分辨出数字二和三的“不同 ( difference)”。
6．A【解析】根据下文的试验可知，好几次乌鸦都没有被人类的数字游戏所愚弄，没有上
当受骗，所以说，鸟类的数字感知能力是“令人惊奇的”。
7．D【解析】上文提到，乌鸦在有人接近塔楼的时候往往就会离开，此处意为直到那人离
开塔楼乌鸦才会返回“( return)”。第10 空后的“But the crow did not return to the nest”
也是提示。
8．C【解析】根据下文的描述可知，对如何骗过乌鸦，这个人有了一个主意，因此选择idea。
9．A【解析】根据第12 空的“able to fool the crow”可知答案。
10．B【解析】根据下文描述可知，试验是在逐渐增加人数的情况下反复进行的，因此本题
选择B 项，repeat 表示“重复”。
11．B【解析】根据上文“The crow stayed away until the second man left，too．”可知，乌鸦
等所有人离开后才返回，这次试验也不例外，故选择B 项，gone“离开”。
12．D【解析】试验反复进行，直到“最终”愚弄到了乌鸦。
13．B【解析】由上文的“It's not very good．”可知，婴儿与鸟类相似，对于较少的数量能
辨析清楚，因此选择B 项。
14．D【解析】根据语境可知，在数量大的情况下，婴儿也经常会受到愚弄。
15．C【解析】从文章的第一句与第二句可以看出，number sense 是“数字感知能力”，是一
种“能力( ability)”，因此选择C 项。
16．found 【解析】根据文章第一句话可以确定，本文是在描述过去发生的事情，因此这里
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
使用一般过去时。
17．nor【解析】neither 通常与nor 连用，表示“既不……也不……”，符合语境。
18．why【解析】如果能少付点儿钱，为什么不省点儿呢？结合上下文知，此处用“why not…”
表示建议。
19．reasonable【解析】空后为名词thing，因此可以推断空处应该是一个修饰名词的成分，
因此使用reason 的形容词形式，在此作定语。
20．who【解析】根据语境并分析句子成分可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是
Nick's guests，故关系词应用who。
21．at【解析】at a…price 表示“以……的价格”。
22．for【解析】respect 与介词for 连用，表示“对……的尊重”。
23．possibly【解析】根据语境并分析句子成分可知，空后是谓语动词，因此可以推断这里
要使用possible 的副词形式，在句中作状语。
24．a【解析】a(very) small amount of 为固定搭配，意为“少量的……”。
25．thinking【解析】分析句子成分可知，空处需要用非谓语动词形式。因everyone 与think
是逻辑上的主谓关系，故此处用动词的-ing 形式。Thinking 在此句中作伴随状语。
26．A 【解析】根据第一段倒数第二句话中的“a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone”
以及本段最后一句话可知，Tom 患有骨癌，病情很严重。根据第一段中的“Fred Epstein，
in his book If Make It to Five，tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom”可以
判断出干扰项D 错误。
27．D【解析】根据第三段最后两句“Hearing this，the mother hesitated for a while．She had
avoided buying the expensive costume（戏装），but finally she agreed．”可以判断出，Tom
的妈妈并不富裕，但她最终还是同意给Tom 买超人的服装，这是因为上文中Tom 说他
有点怕，想通过扮超人来获得某种精神力量克服这种恐惧。因此选择D 项。
28．B【解析】根据第四段内容可知B 项为答案，Tom 表现得像个超级英雄。
29．C【解析】通读最后一段内容，尤其是后两句话可知，C 项“to become a powerful person
in your mind”（成为你想象中强大的人）正是作者想表达的意思，作者建议我们通过想
象让自己的内心变得强大起来。
30．D【解析】 根据全文内容尤其是文章最后一段最后一句话“So，let your imagination run
wild，and dare to dream．”可知，作者建议并鼓励我们要敢于想象，通过想象来给自己
某种神奇的精神力量，从而突破自己，战胜各种困难。故D 项正确。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
31．A【解析】根据第一段内容可以判断出，本段主要阐述了不同的人对于成功的原因的看
法，因此选择A 项。
32．B【解析】根据画线词前一句中的“one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it
more practical”可判断出，that 在此指代“setting a practical goal”。’
33．D【解析】根据第二段最后一句“To become great at certain things，it'll require even more
time that most people won't put in．”以及第三段首句“This is a big reason why many
successful people advise you to do something you love．”可知应选D。
34．B【解析】根据第四段中的“It's sometimes easy…that you're wrong anyway”可知，有时
容易以为别人的成功是靠天赋或运气，但这样想对你并不好，这样想还是很大的可能是
错的。言外之意就是说人们有时成功并不是靠运气或天赋。故B 项正确。
35．C【解析】通读全文尤其是最后一段的内容可知，本文主要说明了“成功需要投入大量
的时间与实践”。
36．C【解析】根据第一段描述的David 与作者见面时的表现“He kept walking up and down
restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly．”可以判断出，David 当时是紧张的。
D 项有一定的干扰性，而通过第一段中的“‘This boy has lost his family，’he wrote．”可
知，David 的老师并没有和他一起来，只是写了封信给作者。
37．A【解析】 根据第二段内容，尤其是最后一句“Sometimes the best thing one can do is to
listen openly and sympathetically．”可知，作者已经做好了倾听David 的准备。
38．B【解析】根据第五段作者对David 的行为表现的揣测可以判断，David 可能只是需要有
人默默地与他分享失去亲人的痛苦，无需其他语言上的开导。
39．A【解析】根据倒数第二段中的“After that day，David started talking．”以及后面关于
David 生活中各种变化的描述可知，David 在数月的治疗后心理方面恢复了健康。B 项的
推断没有依据，C、D 两项不符合文意。
40．D【解析】本文主要描写作者的一次特别的心理救助，即通过倾听的方式帮助David 走
出痛苦，因此选择D 项。其他选项与原文不符。
41．D【解析】本文前两段通过Jennifer 的一次网络考试引出话题，根据第三段可以判断出，
用监控器观察Jennifer 是为了防止她在网络考试中作弊。
42．A【解析】根据第三段画线词所在句的下一句中的“The technology gives trust to the entire
system”可以判断出，cutting edge 应该指的是technology，故与A 项意思最接近。
43．B【解析】根据第三段中的“Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid”可知答案。，
44．A【解析】 根据最后一段中的“Other programs．．．can recognize possible cheaters by
analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones．”可
知答案。
45．C【解析】本文主要介绍在当今社会，人们是如何对抗网络考试作弊的，故C 项正确。
46．B【解析】 本小题中的关键信息“durability”和“power supply for my digital cameras”
与B 项中的“Super Dura51e Battery”相匹配。
47．E【解析】 本小题中的关键信息“we started looking for a family car”以及“Beetle Convertible”
与E 项中的“Beetle Convertible”汽车广告相匹配。
48．C【解析】做此题时，Beetle Convertible(汽车品牌名)有一定的干扰性，考生容易误选E
项，但本题中的Mary Smith 实际上是想给自己的汽车购买新的保险，这与C 项中的关
键信息“car insurance”相匹配。
49．F【解析】 本小题中的关键信息“your diploma course”与F 项中的 “Graduates receive
MBA diplomas”相匹配。
50．D【解析】本小题中的关键信息“I prefer to secure my house with new technology”与D
项中的“Home Security System”相匹配。

About thirty volunteers to the Mars will have been selected throughout the world by
2015．The candidates are expected to be at least 18 years old and make preparations for the
fact that they can't return to the earth． Moreover, the candidates should be willing to keep
good relations with others． Experts believe that the living conditions on the Mars would be too
tough and the volunteers would be faced with bitterly cold climate, loneliness and
fear． However, some volunteers claim that they have been tired of the life on the earth and they
want to experience the life on the Mars, adding that they will be the heroes of mankind if they
succeed．

The passage states that nowadays a large number of people are not enthusiastic for their
work and ignore the importance of ordinary jobs．
After reading the passage，I am lost in deep thought．It reminds me of the present
employment situation among young people．On the one hand, they complain that the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
competition in job searching is so fierce; on the other hand, a lot of factories can't employ
enough workers．As a matter of fact, many ordinary jobs such as cleaning streets are worth
doing． Without dustmen's work, the streets would be filled with rubbish and the city would be
out of order．The environment around us would get worse and worse． Take me as a typical
example．I once lived alone for a week when my parents went out traveling．I was too lazy to
clean my house and a week later，I couldn't bear to stay in my own room．Only then did I realize
how important such a little thing as cleaning the house was．
Therefore, there is no reason to look down upon ordinary jobs for us．As young people, we
are supposed to work hard and enjoy our work, no matter how ordinary it is．

第三部分：阅读理解（共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分）
阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选
项。
A
Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity． I would return from school
and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little
blue diary． I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain
satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper． After all, isn’t accumulating
memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley,
well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera． During the trip, I was busy recording every
incident, name and place I came across． I felt proud to be spending my time productively,
dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels． On my last night
there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand． The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the
moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows． I
automatically took out my pen…
At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I
allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley． All I remembered of the previous
few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary．
Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling． I still
love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly
meaningful． I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful． I’m no
longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old． I realize that life
will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in
the future．
I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes． Maybe I
won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but
at least the experiences will always remain inside me． I don’t live to make memories—I just live,
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
and the memories form themselves．
51．Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ______．
A． observing her school routine
B． expressing her satisfaction
C． impressing her classmates
D． preserving her history
52．What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary?
A． A dull night on the journey．
B． The beauty of the great valley．
C． A striking quotation from a book．

Mothers and daughters go through so much—yet when was the last time a mother and
daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila
Solomon Klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal co-writers as they examine their
decades of motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped （重
叠）．
Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s: both have
full-time careers; both have published books, articles, and stories; each has three children; they
both love to read． They also love to travel—in fact, they often take trips together． But in truth,
the harder they look at their lives, the more they acknowledge their big differences in
circumstance and basic nature．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A child of the Depression （大萧条）, Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who
considered education a luxury for girls． Starting with her college education, she has fought for
everything she’s ever accomplished． Perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the New
Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s． For Sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury
is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful at trying
to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes．
Each writing in her own unmistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys
and pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded
them together． Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad
where her husband was doing research fieldwork． Perri admits that she can’t sort out all the mess
in the households, even though she knows it drives her mother crazy． Together they compare
thoughts on bringing up children and working, admit long-hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious
memories．
Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, Perri and Sheila tell their
mother-daughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other． A written
account in two voices, Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet （二重奏） that produces a deep,
strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize．
55．Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother’s?
A． They both have gone through difficult times．
B． They have strong emotional ties with each other．
C． They have the same joys and pains, and love and bitterness．
D． They both have experiences as daughter, mother and writer．
56．The word “luxury” in Paragraph 3 means ______．

We’ve reached a strange—some would say unusual—point． While fighting world hunger
continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health
Organization （WHO）, more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely
fat, than from being underweight． It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days．
Worse, nearly l8 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be
overweight． What’s going on?
We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems． The dangers of the problem
have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting
through—up to a point．
In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and
being overweight was its main cause． Not any more． A public-health campaign has greatly
reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades．
Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled
between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the
shape of the body． That has become a sort of fashion． No wonder it ranks as the world’s most
body-conscious country．
We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another
matter． By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise． More than half of us
admit we lack willpower．
Others blame good food． They say: it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat． Still
others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too
much American-style fast food．
Some also blame their parents—their genes． But unfortunately, the parents are wronged
because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim．
It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to
lose weight． Parents are eager to see their kids shape up． Do as I say—not as I do．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
59．What is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?
A． The good life is a greater risk than the bad life．
B． Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world．
C． WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety．
D． Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts．
60．Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?
A． A lot of effective diet pills are available．
B． Body image has nothing to do with good food．
C． They have been made fully aware of its dangers．
D． There are too many overweight people in the world．
61．The example of Finland is used to illustrate ______．
A． the cause of heart disease
B． the fashion of body shaping
C． the effectiveness of a campaign
D． the history of a body-conscious country
62．Which would be the best title for the passage?
A． Actions or Excuses? B． Overweight or Underweight?
C． WHO in a Dilemma D． No Longer Dying of Hunger

The technology is great． Without it we wouldn’t have been able to put a man on the moon,
explore the ocean’s depths or eat microwave sausages． Computers have revolutionized our lives
and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge． But sometimes this power can create
more problems than it solves．
Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who’ve come into their surgery
waving an Internet print-out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat
cancer． The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don’t have throat cancer, and it’s just
that their throats are swollen． Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not
guarantee accurate self-health-checks．
One day Mrs． Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work． While I took her
blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know what’s wrong; I’ve
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
got throat cancer． I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait
until the day comes．”
As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray． I looked at it and the blood results an hour
later． Something wasn’t right． “Did your local doctor do an X-ray?” I asked． “Oh, I haven’t
been to the doctor for years,” she replied． “I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted,
so I knew that’s what I had．”
However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn’t fit with it—but
she’d just ignored this．
I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis
（肺结核）—something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly． She was
lucky we caught it when we did．
Mrs.． Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six
months to ensure that she was fully recovered． It was certainly a lesson for her． “I’m so
embarrassed,” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into
close contact with would have to be found out and tested． She listed up to about 20, and then I
went to my office to type up my notes． Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had to
wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it． Typical． Maybe I should have a
microwave sausage while I waited?
63．Mrs.．Almond talked about her illness calmly because ______．
A． she thought she knew it well
B． she had purchased medicine online
C． she graduated from a medical school
D． she had been treated by local doctors
64．It was lucky for Mrs.． Almond ______．
A． to have contacted many friends
B． to have recovered in a short time
C． to have her assumption confirmed
D． to have her disease identified in time
65．Mrs.． Almond said “I’m so embarrassed” （Para． 7） because ______．
A． she had distrusted her close friends
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B． she had caused unnecessary trouble
C． she had to refuse the doctor’s advice
D． she had to tell the truth to the doctor
66．By mentioning the breakdown of the computer, the author probably wants to prove ______．
A． it’s a must to take a break at work
B． it’s vital to believe in IT professionals
C． it’s unwise to simply rely on technology
D． it’s a danger to work long hours on computers

A German study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their future actually
faced greater risk of disability or death within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their
future to be worse．
The paper, published this March in Psychology and Aging, examined health and welfare
surveys from roughly 40,000 Germans between ages 18 and 96． The surveys were conducted
every year from 1993 to 2003．
Survey respondents （受访者） were asked to estimate their present and future life
satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, among other questions．
The researchers found that young adults （age 18 to 39） routinely overestimated their future
life satisfaction, while middle-aged adults （age 40 to 64） more accurately predicted how they
would feel in the future． Adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate
their future life satisfaction． Not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they would,
the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio （比率） of disability and death for the study
period．
“We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed
was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following
decade,” wrote Frieder R． Lang, a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg．
Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be
more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future．
“Seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may
contribute to taking improved precautions （预防措施）,” the authors wrote．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who
enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline． Also, the
researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability．
The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions． Illness,
medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes．
However, the researchers said a pattern was clear． “We found that from early to late
adulthood, individuals adapt their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to
accurate, to pessimistic,” the authors concluded．
67．According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?
A． Optimistic adults．
B． Middle-aged adults．
C． Adults in poor health．
D． Adults of lower income．
68．Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes people ______．
A． to fully enjoy their present life
B． to estimate their contribution accurately
C． to take measures against potential risks
D． to value health more highly than wealth
69．How do people of higher income see their future?
A． They will earn less money．
B． They will become pessimistic．
C． They will suffer mental illness．
D． They will have less time to enjoy life．
70．What is the clear conclusion of the study?
A． Pessimism guarantees chances of survival．
B． Good financial condition leads to good health．
C． Medical treatment determines health outcomes．
D． Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age．

58．D【解析】根据最后一段可知，这本书是用两个人的声音在讲述，好比二重奏；根据第
四段可知，她们用自己的不会被混淆的声音在轮流讲述。从这些信息看，这本书的写

项”WHO 的报告表明人们没有意识到食品安全问题”，D 项”尽管WHO 在努力，肥胖
问题依旧没有解决”，都不正确。
60．C【解析】根据第三段可知，2001 年开始的公众健康运动已经使人们深刻意识到肥胖的
危害，因此在芬兰，人们通过吃减肥药，做抽脂手术来减肥；根据第六段町知，我们
知道要减肥的话该做什么，但做不做又是另外一个问题了。从这些信息看，作者认为
不能为肥胖找借口是因为人们知道肥胖的危害。
61．C【解析】根据第四段可知，在芬兰，70 年代由肥胖引起的心脏病发病率世界最高，通
过公共健康运动，心脏病的死亡率在过去30 年下降了80%。因此作者介绍芬兰不是为
了说明心脏病的起因、塑身的时尚、关注身材的国家的历史，而是说明这个国家掀起
的健康运动的效果。
62．A【解析】本文作者以嘲讽的口吻探讨肥胖问题，说人们都知道肥胖的危害，却不愿意
采取措施减肥。把肥胖归咎于缺乏毅力、快餐、遗传基因等，因此本文的主题应该是
A 项：是行动起来，还是继续为自己找借口
63．A【解析】根据第三段内容可知，病人Mrs. Almond 来就诊，作者给她做检查的时候她
很淡定地说，她知道自己是什么病，也知道医生无能为力，而她自己也只是在等待死
亡到来的那一天。由此可知选A。
64．D【解析】 根据第六段内容可知，作者说她很幸运，因为他们找到了她的病因。因此
D 是Mrs. Almond 运气好的原因，而不是因为她”接触了很多朋友，短时间就瘁俞了、
她的猜测得到证实”。
65．B【解析】从故事的叙述可知，Mrs. Almond 在网上自我诊断，以为自己患了癌症，而
实际上不是，她的病可以治好，需要半年时间就能完全康复，而且她接 触的那些朋友
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
都要接受检查，由此可得出她觉得尴尬的原因是B，她自己进行诊断，反而带来了不
必要的麻烦。
66．C【解析】由最后一段内容可知，作者准备将病人接触过的朋友的名单用电脑打印出来，
但电脑出问题了，故作者只能等别人来把电脑修好之后才能工作，看来单纯依靠科技
并不靠谱。
67．B【解析】根据第四段内容可知，18 -39 岁的年轻人会高估自己未来生活的满意度，65
岁及以上年龄的人往往会低估自己未来生活的满意度，而40-64 岁的中年人则对自己
未来生 活的满意度估计更准确一些。
68．C【解析】根据第六段和第七段内容可知，对自己未来悲观的人比乐天派对自己的日常
行为更加小心，这样的人可能会及时采取措施应对潜在的危险，因此选C。
69．A【解析】根据第八段中的第一句话可知，与身体不好或收入不高的人相比，身体好或
者收入高的受访者往往预料自己身体垮得更厉害或收入明显减少。因此选A。
70．D【解析】文章开头提到不同年龄段的人对自己未来生？舌满意度的估计不同；从文章
接下来的内容可知，年轻人更乐观，中年人较实际，老年人更悲观，看来对未来生活
满意度估计的程度是随着年龄而递减的，因此选D.
71．what you are doing; the thing( s) which/that you are doing

When I was 8 years old, I once decided to run away from home． With my suitcase 36
and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door and said to Mom, “I’m leaving．”
“If you want to 37 , that’s all right,” she said． “But you came into this home without
anything and you can leave the same way．” I 38 my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor
heavily and started for the door again．
“Wait a minute,” Mom said． “I want your 39 back． You didn’t wear anything when
you arrived．” This really angered me． I tore my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and
all—and 40 , “Can I go now?” “Yes,” Mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t
expect to come back．”
I was so 41 that I slammed (砰地关上) the door and stepped out on the front
porch． 42 I realized that I was outside, with nothing on． Then I noticed that down the
street, two neighbor girls were walking toward our house． I ran to 43 behind a big tree in
our yard at once． After a while, I was 44 the girls had passed by． I dashed to the front
door and banged on it loudly．
“Who’s there?” I heard．
“It’s Billy! Let me in!”

from home．” Glancing behind me to see if anyone else was coming, I begged, “Aw, c’mon, Mom!

Section C (12 marks)
Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that
best fits the context．
When kids in parts of the world want to play, they often make soccer balls out of trash tied
together with string． “ 48 the areas used for playing fields are often rough and rocky,
millions of real balls go flat (变瘪) 49 24 hours,” says Tim Jahnigen, a California
businessman． Determined to solve this problem, 50 created an indestructible ball called
the One World Futbol．
The ball is made of 51 special material, ethylene-vinyl acetate foam． It’s lightweight,
it’s flexible, and— 52 important—it holds its shape．
The One World Futbol needs no pump 53 won’t wear out, even on rough
surfaces． When tested, 54 withstood (经受住) being crushed by a car, and even being
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
chewed on by a lion．
Although it costs more to produce 55 a typical soccer ball, Jahnigen estimates the One
World Futbol can last 30 years． So far, it’s been given to kids in 143 countries．
Part III Reading Comprehension (30 marks)
Directions: Read the following three passages． Each passage is followed by several
questions or unfinished statements． For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C
and D． Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage．
A
Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs．
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of
accommodation and make it harder to find a room． A standard double room at the Thistle
Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct．) cost £169．15 at
Booking．com． A week later, the same room cost £118．15．
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to
pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen．com, which allow you to search for
events in the UK by city, date and category．
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find
a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience
at the start of your holiday．
Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in． Booking two months in advance,
the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was
£95．95． A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75．75． And at
Farringdon, a double room cost just £62．95．
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff
can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events． As an alternative consider
checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen． Often these flats are hidden away on the
top floors of city centre buildings． A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s
Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults．
GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also
have similar programmers that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
public transport or car parking costs．
Among the smaller cities with their own programmers are Newcastle (casual members pay
around £1．50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day)．
56．The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ______．
A．help travelers pass time
B．attract lots of travelers to the UK

57．“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably __________．
A．a hotel away from the train station
B．the tube line to Covent Garden
C．an ideal holiday destination
D．the name of a travel agency
58．The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat _______．
A．lies on the ground floor

59．Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of _______．
A． half an hour
B． one hour
C． one hour and a half
D． two hours
60．The main purpose of the passage is __________．

D．to offer visitors some money-saving tips
B
In my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are
planted．” It reminds me of Dorothy． I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was
teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville,
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Kentucky． The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in
the program． Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area．
Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area． To get
to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain． In the
eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting
caught by the same train five times． Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the
mountains, I found it depressing． The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses
gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness．
From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared． Upon
arriving at Dorothy’s classroom． I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen． The
children had been prepared to show me their latest projects． Dorothy told me with a big smile
that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch)． In case you don’t
know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground．
Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students． Her enthusiasm
never cooled down． When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to
receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready． She came to the
assessment and passed in all areas． Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house
in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph． D． degree． After the meal,
she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand． She said it was a family heirloom (传家
宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with
things．
61．“Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________．
A．a program directed by Dorothy
B．a course given by the author
C．an activity held by the students
D．an organization sponsored by Union college
62．In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing __________．
A．the long track
B．the poor houses
C．the same train
D．the winding road
63．Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by __________．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．a warm welcome
B．the sight of poke greens
C．Dorothy’s latest projects
D．a big dinner made for her
64．What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?
A．She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant．
B．She got a pen as a gift from the author．
C．She passed the required assessment．
D．She received her Ph．D．degree．
65．What does the author mainly intend to tell us?
A．Whatever you do, you must do it carefully．
B．Whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment．
C．However poor you are, you have the right to education,
D．Wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement．
C
It’s such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and
sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof． About the size of a microwave oven, it’s
pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates,
along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens．
It’s a library built with love．
A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free
Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense
of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family
of four, “That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break!”
Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a
mailbox． But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work． The 51-year-old owner
of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for
daughter Abbie’s toy horses, and made a door of glass．
After adding the library’s final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front,
instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free
Library in Palm Beach County．
They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference
titles, novels and kids’ favorites． “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said
Janey, a stay-at-home mom．
Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from
borrowers． The library now gets an average of five visits a day．
The project’s best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind． “We had no idea
in the beginning that it would be so popular．”
66．In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”?
A．It owns a yellow roof．
B．It stands near a sidewalk．
C．It protects book lovers from the sun．
D．It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations．
67．Janey got the idea to build a library from __________．
A．a visit to Brian Williams
B．a spring break with her family
C．a book sent by one of her neighbors
D．a report on a Wisconsin-based organization
68．The library was built __________．
A．by a ship supply company
B．on the basis of toy horses
C．like a mailbox
D．with glass
69．What can we infer about the signboard?
A．It was made by a user of the library．
B．It marked a final touch to the library．
C．It aimed at making the library last long．
D．It indicated the library was a family property．
70．The passage tells us that the users __________．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．donate books to the library
B．get paid to collect books for the library
C．receive thank-you notes for using the library
D．visit the library over 5 times on average daily
Part IV Writing (45 marks)
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．
While there is no widely accepted definition of MOOCs, their key features are open access：
they are currently free to participants, no entry qualifications are required, they support an
unlimited number of participants and as yet, very few include any form of accreditation (认证)．
Currently offered by some famous universities, MOOCs are attractive to people who do not
have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education, or who do not
have formal qualifications． They also allow participants to study at their own pace．
The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast—they could be considered as
a huge step forwards in widening participation． They also have the potential to provide a unique
window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses, they may attract some
participants to register for formal fee-paying programmers at the same or other universities and
are likely to promote new ways of on-line education．
However, it is still very early days for MOOCs． The quality of the education provision is
highly variable, with many courses offering only recordings of lectures, and delivery is particularly
difficult in some special fields that require practical classes, research projects or extensive library
access． Besides, wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource． Even
limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in
the class．
Considering the challenges, some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate (蒸发)． But
they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education, are a means of raising
awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands, and are well worthy of
serious consideration．

Directions: Read the following passage． Answer the questions according to the

“Let’s Talk”：The Free Advice Project
A few weeks ago, I took a walk around Washington Square Park． I met all the usual people：
street performers, the Pigeon Guy, a group of guitarists singing in harmony． But off to the side,
sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different—giving free advice．
A week or two later, I set up an interview with her and we discussed her project at length．
Lisa Podell, 32, started the Free Advice Project this past May． It began as an experiment；
she sat in Washington Square Park for a day with a sign that read “Free Advice” as a simple way

to reach out to people． Podell was astonished at the strong response．
Podell admits that she was doubtful at first, but now she describes the project as mutually
(相互地) beneficial． People learn from her—but she also learns from them． She says that the
majority of those who come to her are dealing with some pretty heavy issues, and they expect
her not only to listen, but also provide real answers．
Having worked as a full time teacher and now as an adolescent advisor, Podell believes that
talking things out is an important in the decision-making process．
Sometimes, people walk around all day, keeping their problems in their own head and
thinking about them in the same way． Podell simply strives to provide people with perspective．
I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project． Podell said she would like to
promote it to each public space in New York, which would be carried out by various volunteers
across the city．
It was truly inspiring to meet someone with such a big heart, especially in New York—where
it is sometimes very hard to find anybody to listen．

2013 年全国高考试题独家解析(湖南卷)
英语答案
1—5 BAACA 6—10 BBCCB 11—15 CBCAA 16．Confidently
17．easier 18．think about 19．you find interesting 20．yourself
21．【答案】B
【解析】句意：幸福和成功往往降临到那些善于意识到自己优点的人的身上。先行词是
those，关系词在从句中作主语，因此用关系代词who 引导定语从句，故答案为B。
22．【答案】D
【解析】句意：Crawford 夫人问道：”你（长大了）想当什么？””我想当总统。”男孩面
带微笑地说。根据问句”What do you want to be?”可知，该句子暗含了将来的时间，
因此答语用一般将来时。
23．【答案】B
【解析】句意：做任何决定之前你都要顾及自己的情感和理智。此处用before 引导时间
状语从句。”顾及自己的情感和理智”与”做任何 决定”是一种先后关系，前者在后
者之前，因此用before。
24．【答案】A
【解析】句意：每晚2 点左右，Sue 就开始说梦话。这弄得我们有点儿烦。根据”every night”
可知，此处是经常发生的动作；句中的will 是情态动词，表示习惯发生的动作。
25．【答案】B
【解析】句意：太阳在天空中升起，这座山沐浴在金色的阳光之中。bathe 是及物动词，
意为”使沐浴（在光线里）”，与the sun 构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词，
且此处为过去时，故排除D 项。
26．【答案】D
【解析】句意：如果什么都不做，海洋就会变成鱼类的沙漠。在条件状语从句中，主句
为将来时，从句要用一般现在时表示将来时；而且主语nothing 与动词do 之间是
逻辑上的动宾关系，因此要用被动语态。
27．【答案】C
【解析】——你听说有关最近的选举的消息了吗？——当然了，这可是最近三天唯一的
新闻事件。根据时间状语”for the last three days”可知，该句用现在完成时。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
28．【答案】A
【解析】句意：别、止失败使你灰心丧气，因为你永远不可能弄清楚你离胜利有多近。
及物动词tell 后接宾语从句，根据句意可知空处修饰形容词close，故应用how。
29．【答案】D
【解析】句意：你不能接受别人给你提的意见，除非该意见是基于 事实的。此处为后置
定语修饰名词opinion，动词offer 与该名词之间是逻辑上的动宾关系。故选D。
30．【答案】A
【解析】 句意：每天都要大声朗读几遍谚语，直到你能背诵为止. 连词until 引导时间
状语从句，前面为主句，主句是一个祈使句，故选A。此处不要被时间状语”Every
day”所迷惑。
31．【答案】C
【解析】句意：为了晚上保暖，我往火炉中添了木柴，又设置了午夜的闹钟以便再次添
加。此处”保暖”是”添加木材”的目的，所以用动词不定式，作目的状语。
32．【答案】C
【解析】句意：尽管他想睡，但仍睡不着，（因为）当时他拼命想着一个主意，一直到想
出来为止他才睡去。此处couldn't 表示”不可能”，符合句意。
33．【答案】A
【解析】句意：那所大学估计，对国际学生来说，一年的生活开销大约是8 450 美元，
这对其中一些学生来说是一个负担。第一空的主语是living expenses，故谓语动词
用复数形式；第二空的主语是which，指代的是前面整个句子，因此谓语动词用
单数。
34．【答案】B
【解析】句意：——我不解的是你昨天下午为什么不去听讲座。——对不起。但是（当
时）我正在做家庭作业。很显然，答话者没有去的原因是当时在做家庭作业，即”
听讲座”和”做家庭作业”是同时进行的，因此此处要用过去进行时。
35．【答案】D
【解析】句意：Michael 从来没有想到过有一天自己会成为他班上尖子生之一。否定词
not 置于句首，所以此处用部分倒装。
36．【答案】A
【解析】此处用动词的过去分词作宾语补足语，与名词suitcase 是逻辑上的动宾关系，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
表示”被打包”。

nothing on”可知，妈妈是要作者脱掉身上的”衣服”。

家出走根本行不通，因此，他在”肯定”那两个女孩走了之后，才敢跑去大声地撞

Last week, a football match was held between we Class One and Class Two.
The players from both sides are all excellent football players, so the match went
on fiercely at first. At last the result is: the winner is Class Two, and we were the loser.
We didn’t win the match, but we didn’t lose heart. On the one hand, we think that
friendship comes first, and a match comes second. On the other hand, since we all tried our best,
we had no regret. In our life we may meet many failures. As long as we try our best, there’s no
need feeling regretful for these failures. . What' more, we should analyze the reasons of the
failures to get success for next time.
In a word, success is important, and so is failure, because it’s the mother of success.

I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭), credit cards,
success． I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us 36 chasing the same
thing．
One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell 37 ． I found myself homeless
and alone． I had my truck and $56． I 38 the countryside for some place I could rent for
the 39 possible amount． I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain
road 40 the Potomac River in West Virginia． It was 41 , full of broken glass and
rubbish． I found the owner, rented it, and 42 a corner to camp in．
The locals knew nothing about me, 43 slowly, they started teaching me the 44
of being a neighbor． They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began 45 around
to chat． They started to teach me a belief in a 46 American Dream—not the one of
individual achievement but of 47 ．
What I have believed in, all those things I thought were 48 for a civilized life, were
nonexistent in this place． 49 on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my
50 with my neighbors．
Four years later, I moved back into 51 ． I saw many people were having a really hard
time, 52 their jobs and homes． I managed to rent a big enough house to 53 a
handful of people． There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people
come in and move on to other places． We’d all be in 54 if we hadn’t banded together．

for myself；it’s about 55 we can all get by together．

We’ve considered several ways of paying to cut in line: hiring line standers, buying tickets
from scalpers (票贩子), or purchasing line-cutting privileges directly from, say, an airline or an
amusement park． Each of these deals replaces the morals of the queue (waiting your turn) with
the morals of the market (paying a price for faster service)．
Markets and queues—paying and waiting—are two different ways of allocating things, and
each is appropriate to different activities． The morals of the queue, “First come, first served,”
have an egalitarian (平等主义的) appeal． They tell us to ignore privilege, power, and deep
pockets．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The principle seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops． But the morals of the queue do
not govern all occasions． If I put my house up for sale, I have no duty to accept the first offer that
comes along, simply because it’s the first． Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different
activities, properly governed by different standards．
Sometimes standards change, and it is unclear which principle should apply． Think of the
recorded message you hear, played over and over, as you wait on hold when calling your bank:
“Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received．” This is essential for the morals
of the queue． It’s as if the company is trying to ease our impatience with fairness．
But don’t take the recorded message too seriously． Today, some people’s calls are answered
faster than others． Call center technology enables companies to “score” incoming calls and to
give faster service to those that come from rich places． You might call this telephonic queue
jumping．
Of course, markets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things． Some goods we
distribute by merit, others by need, still others by chance． However, the tendency of markets to
replace queues, and other non-market ways of allocating goods is so common in modern life that
we scarcely notice it anymore． It is striking that most of the paid queue-jumping schemes we’ve
considered — at airports and amusement parks, in call centers, doctors’ offices, and national parks
— are recent developments, scarcely imaginable three decades ago． The disappearance of the
queues in these places may seem an unusual concern, but these are not the only places that
markets have entered．
58．According to the author, which of the following seems governed by the principle “First come，
first served”?
A． Taking buses．
B． Buying houses．
C． Flying with an airline．
D． Visiting amusement parks．
59．The example of the recorded message in Paragraphs 4 and 5 illustrates _____．
A． the necessity of patience in queuing
B． the advantage of modern technology
C． the uncertainty of allocation principle
D． the fairness of telephonic services
60．The passage is meant to _____．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A． justify paying for faster services
B． discuss the morals of allocating things
C． analyze the reason for standing in line
D． criticize the behavior of queue jumping

If a diver surfaces too quickly, he may suffer the bends． Nitrogen (氮) dissolved (溶解) in
his blood is suddenly liberated by the reduction of pressure． The consequence, if the bubbles (气
泡) accumulate in a joint, is sharp pain and a bent body—thus the name． If the bubbles form in
his lungs or his brain, the consequence can be death．
Other air-breathing animals also suffer this decompression (减压) sickness if they surface too
fast: whales, for example． And so, long ago, did ichthyosaurs． That these ancient sea animals
got the bends can be seen from their bones． If bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can
cut off its blood supply． This kills the cells in the bone, and consequently weakens it, sometimes
to the point of collapse． Fossil (化石) bones that have caved in on themselves are thus a sign that
the animal once had the bends．
Bruce Rothschild of the University of Kansas knew all this when he began a study of
ichthyosaur bones to find out how widespread the problem was in the past． What he particularly
wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the problem of decompression over the
150 million years． To this end, he and his colleagues traveled the world’s natural-history
museums, looking at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the Triassic period and from the later Jurassic
and Cretaceous periods．
When he started, he assumed that signs of the bends would be rarer in younger fossils,
reflecting their gradual evolution of measures to deal with decompression． Instead, he was
astonished to discover the opposite． More than 15% of Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthyosaurs had
suffered the bends before they died, but not a single Triassic specimen (标本) showed evidence of
that sort of injury．
If ichthyosaurs did evolve an anti-decompression means, they clearly did so quickly—and,
most strangely, they lost it afterwards． But that is not what Dr Rothschild thinks happened． He
suspects it was evolution in other animals that caused the change．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Whales that suffer the bends often do so because they have surfaced to escape a predator (捕
食动物) such as a large shark． One of the features of Jurassic oceans was an abundance of large
sharks and crocodiles, both of which were fond of ichthyosaur lunches． Triassic oceans, by
contrast, were mercifully shark- and crocodile-free． In the Triassic, then, ichthyosaurs were top
of the food chain． In the Jurassic and Cretaceous, they were prey (猎物) as well as predator—and
often had to make a speedy exit as a result．
61．Which of the following is a typical symptom of the bends?
A．A twisted body．
B．A gradual decrease in blood supply．
C．A sudden release of nitrogen in blood．
D．A drop in blood pressure．
62．The purpose of Rothschild’s study is to see _____．
A．how often ichthyosaurs caught the bends
B．how ichthyosaurs adapted to decompression
C．why ichthyosaurs bent their bodies
D．when ichthyosaurs broke their bones
63．Rothschild’s finding stated in Paragraph 4 _____．
A．confirmed his assumption
B．speeded up his research process
C．disagreed with his assumption
D．changed his research objectives
64．Rothschild might have concluded that ichthyosaurs ______．
A．failed to evolve an anti-decompression means
B．gradually developed measures against the bends
C．died out because of large sharks and crocodiles
D．evolved an anti-decompression means but soon lost it
D
Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel． And he surely deserves
additional praise: the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism．
I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the
years before the Civil War． H． B． Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin is only the most famous
example． These early stories dealt directly with slavery． With minor exceptions, Twain planted
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else
entirely． He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story．
Again and again, in the postwar years, Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of
race． Consider the most controversial, at least today, of Twain’s novels, Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn． Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry
Finn, Twains most widely read tale． Once upon a time, people hated the book because it struck
them as rude． Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel
“trash and suitable only for the slums (贫民窟)．” More recently the book has been attacked
because of the character Jim, the escaped slave, and many occurrences of the word nigger． (The
term Nigger Jim, for which the novel is often severely criticized, never appears in it．)
But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point ． The novel is strongly
anti-slavery． Jim’s search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been
forcibly parted is heroic． As J． Chadwick has pointed out, the character of Jim was a first in
American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities, “the voice of survival within
a white slave culture and the voice of the individual: Jim, the father and the man．”
There is much more． Twain’s mystery novel Pudd’nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the
racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day． Written at a time when the accepted
wisdom held Negroes to be inferior (低等的) to whites, especially in intelligence, Twain’s tale
centered in part around two babies switched at birth． A slave gave birth to her master’s baby
and, for fear that the child should be sold South, switched him for the master’s baby by his
wife． The slave’s light-skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes
and the education of the slave-holding class． The master’s wife’s baby was taken for black and
grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave．
The point was difficult to miss: nurture (养育), not nature, was the key to social status． The
features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech, for
example—were, to Twain, indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced
on its victims．
Twain’s racial tone was not perfect． One is left uneasy, for example, by the lengthy passage
in his autobiography (自传) about how much he loved what were called “nigger shows” in his
youth—mostly with white men performing in black-face—and his delight in getting his mother to
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
laugh at them． Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality． His
frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not．
Was Twain a racist? Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of
Lincoln． If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the “wisdom” of the considered
moral judgments of the present, we will find nothing but error． Lincoln, who believed the black
man the inferior of the white, fought and won a war to free him． And Twain, raised in a slave
state, briefly a soldier, and inventor of Jim, may have done more to anger the nation over racial
injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century．
65．How do Twain’s novels on slavery differ from Stowe’s?
A．Twain was more willing to deal with racism．
B．Twain’s attack on racism was much less open．
C．Twain’s themes seemed to agree with plots．
D．Twain was openly concerned with racism．

第四部分: 任务型阅读(共10 小题;每小题1 分,满分10 分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个
．．最恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Quiet Virtue: The Conscientious
The everyday signs of conscientiousness (认真尽责)—being punctual, careful in doing work,
self-disciplined, and scrupulous (一丝不苟的) in attending to responsibilities—are typical
characteristics of the model organizational citizen, the people who keep things running as they
should． They follow the rules, help out, and are concerned about the people they work
with． It’s the conscientious worker who helps newcomers or updates people who return after
an absence, who gets to work on time and never abuses sick leaves, who always gets things done
on deadline．
Conscientiousness is a key to success in any field．． In studies of job performance,
outstanding effectiveness for almost all jobs, from semi-skilled labor to sales and management,
depends on conscientiousness． It is particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs
at the lower levels of an organization: the secretary whose message taking is perfect, the
delivery truck driver who is always on time．
Among sales representatives for a large American car manufactures, those who were most
conscientious had the largest volume of sales． Conscientiousness also offers a buffer (缓冲)
against the threat of job loss in today’s constantly changing market, because employees with this
quality are among the most valued ． For the sales representatives, their level of
conscientiousness mattered almost as much as their sales in determining who stayed on．
But conscientiousness in the absence of social skills can lead to problems． Since
conscientious people demand so much of themselves, they can hold other people to their own
standards, and so be overly judgment when others don’t show the same high levels of model
behavior． Factory workers in Great Britain and the United States who were extremely
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
conscientious, for example, tended to criticize co-workers even about failures that seemed
unimportant to those they criticized, which demanded their relationships．
When conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations, it can discourage
creativity． In creative professions like art or advertising, openness to wild ideas and spontaneity
(自发性) are scarce and in demand． Success in such occupations calls for a balance, however;
without enough conscientiousness to follow through, people become mere dreamers, with
nothing to show for their imaginativeness．

Actions Speak Louder than Words
People celebrate Earth Day differently． In Picture 1, a man is trying to put up a banner on a
lonely tree surrounded by stumps, but in vain, while Picture 2 shows a couple happily planting
trees．
The message conveyed here is clear: “ Actions speak louder than words．冶 Our earth is
suffering severe damage． Should we just pay lip service or take practical measures to protect it?
The answer is definitely the latter． Immediate actions should be taken, like stopping cutting
down trees, to better the environment．
Actions are important in other fields, too． Instead of shouting empty slogans, it is more
meaningful to donate books and sports goods to children in need． We should strictly and
voluntarily follow traffic rules, stopping at the red light rather than complaining about traffic
jams． Only when we match our words with actions can we make a difference in whatever we
hope to accomplish．

第三部分 阅读理解（共20 小题；每小题2 份，满分40 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold
of Dennis’s Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones． It was a strange place． Martin and Tom
wished that they had not accepted Jack’s dare． They liked camping, but not near this swamp．
“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals． “How did this place get its name ? ”
“Are you sure you want to hear it ? It’s a scary story,” warned Jack．
“Of course!” cried out Tom． “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn’t have
chosen this place!”
“Ok, but don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Jack, and he began this tale．
“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here． He built that cottage
over there to live in ． In those days, the area looked quite different ---- it was covered with tall
trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river． After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several
fields and planted crops． He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice．
“‘You are clearing too much land, ’ warned one old man． ‘ The land is a living thing． It will
hit back at you if you abuse it． ’
“‘ Silly fool,’ said Dennis to himself． ‘If I clear more land, I can grow more crops． I’ll
become wealthier． He’s just jealous!’”
“Dennis continued to chop down trees． Small animals that relied on them for food and
shelter were destroyed． He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river
flowing slowly towards his door． He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land． He
did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants．”
“What happened ? ” Martin asked． It was growing colder． He trembled, twisting his body
closer to the fire．
“The land hit back ---- just as the old man warned, ” Jack shrugged ． “Dennis
disappeared． Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and
dragged him underwater． His body was never found．”
“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom． “Plants can’t …” Before he had finished speaking, he
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
screamed and fainted(晕倒)． The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at
Tom．Suddenly, they burst out laughing．Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom’s
face． It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke．
56．The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closed in meaning to ________．
A． courage
B． assistance
C． instruction
D． challenge
57．Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story ?

When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure (确保)that the aid reaches
the people for whom it is intended． The way to achieve this may not be simple． It is very
difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation． The United Nations
Organiztion(UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid． Here however rises the
problem of costs． Also tied with this is time． Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted
men and women is every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and
earthquakes．
More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
effective to give other forms of help during normal times． A common proverb says, “Give me a
fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime．” If we follow this wise saying, it
would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves． For
example, a country could share its technology with another． This could be in simple areas like
agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building
satellites． Even small country is able to help less developed nations． Sometimes what is take for
granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could
be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems． It does not cost
much to share such simple things． Exchange students could be attached for a number of months
or years and learn the required craft while on the site． They can then take their knowledge back
to their homelands and if necessary come back form time to time to clear doubts or to update
themselves． Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it
falling into the wrong hands．
Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills． It will not cost much to include
deserving foreigners in these courses． Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned,
there is also the build-up of friendships to consider． Giving direct help by giving materials may
be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of
emergencies． However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of
knowledge．
61．According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time ?
A． By solving the cost problems
B． By solving the transportation problems
C． By setting up a body of devoted people in every country．
D． By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO．
62．What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence ?
A． Providing food is vital
B． Learning to fish is helpful
C． Teaching skills is essential
D． Looking after others is important．
63．The second paragraph is developed mainly _________．

B． by process
C． by comparisonD． by contrast

B． An exchange program．

Many people think that listening is a passive business． It is just the opposite． Listening
well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work． It is because they do not realize this, or
because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well．
Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else． An essential part of
listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing’． Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or
setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s
world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes． Moreover, since listening well involves
bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person． Sensing this acceptance,
the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the
listener． True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great
that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth．
Most of the time we lack this energy． Even though we may feel in our business dealings or
social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening
selectively． Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve
certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways
more satisfactory to us． Many of us are far
more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want
to hear．
It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one
is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I
saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法),
before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained． There are several
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient’s sense that he or
she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first
time ever．
66．The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means ______．
A． preparing a topic list first
B． focusing on one’s own mind
C． directing the talk to the desired results
D． experiencing the speaker’s inside world
67．What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2 ?
A． How to listen well．
B． What to listen to．
C． Benefits of listening．
D． Problems in listening
68．According to the author , in communication people tend to ________．
A． listen actively
B． listen purposefully
C． set aside their prejudices
D． open up their inner mind
69．According to the author , the patients improved mainly because _______．
A． they were taken good care of．
B． they knew they were truly listened to．
C． they had partners to talk to．
D． they knew the roots of problems．
70．What type of writing the article likely to be ?
A． Science fiction B． A news report．
C． A medical report．
D． Popular science
D
One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing
but． good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers． Indeed, a rosy picture is painted
for the long-term future of the holiday industry． Every month sees the building of a new hotel
somewhere, and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the 'last
paradise(天堂) on earth'．
However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists
want to enjoy． In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side
holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose
their appeal．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most． In recent years, Nepal set
out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education． Its forests , full
of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise． In fact,
the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the
forest land． Ancient tacks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation
of precious trees and plants．
Not only the environment of a country can suffer from the sudden growth of tourism． The
people as well rapidly feel its effects． Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old
way of life goes． The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization;
he is no longer his own master． Once it was his back that bore the pain ; now it is his smile that
is exploited． No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own
land．
Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those
countries that receive its customers． The protection of wildlife and the creation of national
parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support form tourist
companies． At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside
they visit but also its people．
The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries
we all want to visit． Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist
companies． Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market
for these companies． If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may
well have been destroyed．
71．What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1 ?
A． The Pacific island is a paradise．
B． The Pacific island is worth visiting．
C． The advertisement is not convincing． D． The advertisement is not impressive
72．The example of Nepal is used to suggest _________ ．
A． its natural resources are untouched．
B． its forests are exploited for farmland
C． it develops well in health and education．
D． it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
73．What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4 ?
A． They are happy to work their own lands．
B． They have to please the tourists for a living．
C． They have to struggle for their independence．
D． They are proud of working in multi-national organizations．
74．Which of the following determines the future of tourism ?
A． The number of tourists
B． The improvement of services．
C． The promotion of new products． D． The management of tourism
75．The author’s attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is ________．
A． optimistic
B． doubtful
C． objective
D． negative
第二卷（非选择题

第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35 分）
第一节 阅读表达（共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分）
阅读下面短文并回答问题（请注意问题后的词数要求）。
[1] Fishing is probably the world’s most popular sport． People spend many dollars each
year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles． In addition, they spend money on fishing
equipment , bait, fuel and boat repairs． And you can see that fishing can be an expensive
pastime． Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it． Others say that fishing is spoiling
the environment and that it is a cruel hobby．
[2] Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby． Firstly, of the millions of people who
fish for fun, most only catch enough fish to feed their families． They catch fish that are found in
large numbers, so there is little danger to the species (种类)．
[3] Secondly, recreational fishermen contribute to the economy． They spend money on
equipment and other items, and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment
and fuel． Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation (食宿) and airfares． This
money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year．
[4] Thirdly, fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress． Instead of turning to drugs or
alcohol, it is far better to go fishing． People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much
nicer to be near ----- except for the smell of the bait !
[5] Those who _________________ say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
form rivers, lakes, streams and oceans ． This could lead to the dying out of some
species． Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of the world, so no
place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females, leaving few fish to
produce young．
[6] Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport, which means that an animal must
die so that a human can have fun． Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating,
so they are thrown away． Once hooked, fish have no chance of escape．
76．What is the main idea of the passage ? (no more than 4 words)
_____________________________________________________________
77．According to Paragraph 2 , why does fishing cause little danger to the species ?(no more than
8 words)
_______________________________________________________
78．List 4 items on which people spend their money for fishing． (no more than 7 words)
__________________________________________________________
79．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words．
Those who _________ say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken form rivers, lakes,
streams and oceans．
80．What does the word “which” (Line 1, Paragraph6) probably refer to ? (no more than 3 words)

The activity benefited us a lot． Not only did it get us close to nature and give us relaxation
from heavy school work， it also promoted the friendship among us． What a wonderful
time!

写作时需要增加信息。根据试题的提示，我们可以把文章分成三段：第一段主要介绍登
山活动的目的；第二段介绍活动的过程；第三段介绍你对这次活动的评论。

第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40 分）
第一节 （共15 小题；每小题2 分，满分30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
China is a land of bicycles． At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country． Back
then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle． Millions of them, all black． Cars were rare． Yet
since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true． There are millions of
cars． However, people still use their bicycles to get around． For many, it’s the easiest and
cheapest way to travel today． Bicycles also come in different colors---silver, green, red, blue,
yellow, whatever you want．
It’s fun watching people biking． They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully
through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道)． Bicycles allow people the freedom to move
about that cars just can’t provide．
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle． Great weather
accompanied my great buy． I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home．
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的)． To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers
while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times． I didn’t want to get
hit． So I took the ride carefully．
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem． It was a lot like crossing a major highway
back in the United States． The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit
of luck．
I finally made it home． The feeling on the bicycle was amazing． The air hitting my face and
going through my hair was wonderful． I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and
people． Biking made me feel alive．
56．According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A． Because they are traditional and safe．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B． Because they are convenient and inexpensive．
C． Because they are colorful and available．
D． Because they are fast and environment friendly．
57．The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ___________．
A． to ride it for fun
B． to use it for transport
C． to experience local skills
D． to improve his riding skills
58． How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A． It was boring．
B． It was difficult．
C． It was lively．
D． It was wonderful．
59．Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?
A． The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills．
B． The author was annoyed by the air while riding．
C． The author was praised by the other bikers．
D． The author took great pleasure in biking．
B
Going green seems to be fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days． Whether that is good or
bad, we can’t really say, but for the tow of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle．
On April22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year． This meant
doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy
things． Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things
to do and this was no easy task．
With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started． My life
and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could
show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment． We wanted to
push the message that every little bit helps．
Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle． We now shop at
organic(有机的)stores． We consume less meat, choosing green food． We have greatly reduced
our buying we don’t need． We have given away half of what we owned through websites． Our
home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners． We make our own
butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread． In our home office anyone caught doing
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
something ungreen might be punished．
Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year． We are grateful for the chance to have
been able to go green and educate others． We believe that we do have the power to change
things and help our planet．
60．What might be the best title for the passage?

C． they were unwilling to reduce their energy
D． they needed to perform unusual green tasks
62．What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?

C． They chose better chemical cleaners．
D． They sold their home-made food．
63．What can we infer form the last paragraph?

C
Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tire． It sounds
absurd． But a years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor
without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳)． To the amazement of these scientists, they
discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we
took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue
products． But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue
toxins at the end of the day．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even
twelve hours of effort as at the beginning． The brain is totally tireless． So what makes us tired?
Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情绪
的) attitudes． One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J．A． Hadfield, says, “The greater
part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin． In fact, fatigue of purely physical
origin is rare．” Dr． Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further． He declares, “One
hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems．”
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being
bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated---those are the
emotions that tire sitting workers． Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue． We get tired
because our emotions produce nervousness in the body．
64．What surprised the scientists a few years ago?
A． Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood．
B． Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn after a day’s work．
C． The brain could work for many hours without fatigue．
D． A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins．
65．According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?
A． Challenging mental work．
B． Unpleasant emotions．
C． Endless tasks．
D． Physical labor．
66．What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ idea?
A． He agrees with them．
B． He doubts them．
C． He argues against them．
D． He hesitates to accept them．
67．We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to ___．
A． have some good food．
B． enjoy their work
C． exercise regularly
D． discover fatigue toxins
D
“Indeed,” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly, or bug, had
begun to eat the leaves before I left home．” But the father of America was not the father of
bug． When Washington wrote that, Englishmen hade been referring to insects as bugs for more
than a century, and Americans had already created lightning-bug(萤火虫)． But the English were
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries．
The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a
particular activity． Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing
bugs, baseball bugs, and the like．
Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car． The bug
could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install (安装)
an alarm”． Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to
others’ conversation． Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”, and since the 1940s it
has been annoying．
We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design． That meaning
dates back to the time of Thomas Edison． In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and
difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful
product． In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering
‘a bug’ in his invented record player．”
68．We learn from Paragraph 1 that __________________．
A．Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bug
B．George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bug
C．the word bug was still popularly used in English in the nineteenth century
D．both Englishman and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century
69．What does the word “flaw” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A． Explanation． B． Finding．
C． Origin．
D． Fault．
70．The passage is mainly concerned with__________________．
A． the misunderstanding of the word bug
B． the development of the word bug
C． the public views of the word bug
D． the special characteristics of the word bug

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy． When someone has deeply hurt
you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate． However, forgiveness is possible, and it
can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health． People who forgive show less
sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research．
________71_______ Try the following steps:
Calm yourself．_____72____ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that
gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love．
Don’t wait for an apology． Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to
apologize． They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same
way．_____73_____ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends
again with the person who upset you．
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者)． Rethinking about you hurt gives power
to the person who causes you pain． Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings, learn to look
for the love, beauty and kindness around you．
_______74______ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was
acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love． You may want to write a letter to yourself from
your offender’s point of view．
Don’t forget to forgive yourself．______75____ But it can rob you of your self-confidence if
you don’t do it．
A．Why should you forgive?
B．How should you start to forgive?
C．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness．
D．Try to see things from you offender’s angle．
E．For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge．
F．To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique．
G．If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time．

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
2013 年全国高考试题独家解析(辽宁卷)
英语答案
1—5 ACACB 6—10 BBABA 11—15 BACAA 16—20 BCBCC
21．【答案】A
【解析】空后面说“这是我们一直所寻找的一切”，这表明回答者对这个房子的评价很
高，所以选择A 项，perfect“最佳的，完美的”。B 项常用于表示赞同对方的提议，not
bad 与so-so 意义相近，表示对某事的看法一般。
22．【答案】B
【解析】根据句中的was 和sold 可知，他拥有这个吉他已经很长一段时间了，“拥有”
这个动作是截止到过去的，而不是截止到现在，所以不能选择A 或C 项。表示过去的过
去应该用过去完成时，所以选择B 项
23．【答案】D
【解析】根据后面的it's nothing serious 可知，造成的破坏不严重，所以不能选择ruin
“毁灭，废墟”。damage 意为“破坏，损坏”，意思是说程度不是很严重，往往修理之
后仍然可以使用。harm 意为“伤害，损害”，injury 意为“伤害”
24．【答案】A
【解析】句意：一个人不论他生活中的日程有多么满，总是能设法做更多的事情。空后
面的full 是形容词，所以应该用how 修饰，no matter how 引导让步状语从句
25．【答案】B
【解析】句意：我代表在场的所有人祝您归国旅途愉快。根据句意可知选B，on behalf of
“代表”。by means of“借助……手段”，in search of“寻找”，for fear of“唯恐”。
26．【答案】C
【解析】at no time 相当于never，意为“绝不，根本不”。当含有否定词的介词短语位
于句首时，句子要用部分倒装形式。另外，句子中的was 表明空白处说的是过去的情况，
所以选C 项。
27．【答案】D
【解析】句意：我搬到纽约后的前两天一切进展得似乎都很顺利。go smoothly“进展顺
利”
28．【答案】C
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
【解析】因为空前面已经出现了was 这个谓语部分，且此处除了when 这个引导时间状
语从句的引导词外，没有其他的引导词，所以此空不能再用谓语动词形式，故用非谓语
形式。A 项表示被动概念，B 项表示将来，所以只能选择C 项，意为“正在……”。
29．【答案】A
【解析】句意：使她高兴的是，Della 首先赢得了她的学生的信任，然后又获得了同事
的信任。空后面的of her colleagues 与前面的of her students 是同样的结构，因此此空应
该选择that 来替代the trust，以避免重复。
30．【答案】B
【解析】句意：我们相信环境会在我们进一步减少污染的努力下得到改善。由题干中的
“We are confident that”可知此处应该选择具有将来意义的动词时态形式，所以选择B
项
31．【答案】D
【解析】根据空后面的last night 可知，Harry 喝酒一事是过去的事情，结合语境可知此
处表示对过去的事情的肯定推测，应该用must have done 结构。
32．【答案】B
【解析】句意：Mitchell 退休时Briggs 将接任总经理职务。根据句意可知选B，take over
“接管，接收”。get away“脱身”；set off“出发”；run out“用完”。
33．【答案】C
【解析】句意：这是我曾看过的最鼓舞人心的电影了。By far 可用于修饰形容词或副词
的比较级或最高级。根据that 从句的描述可知，应该选择C 项，即用最高级形式。D 项，
“the+比较级”常常要与由of 构成的短语连用。
34．【答案】A
【解析】which 引导非限制性定语从句，并且作定语修饰case。如果选择B 项，则句子
缺少适当的连接词语，应该改为and in that case。
35．【答案】：D
【解析】对方提示说“您拨错号了”，根据空白处前面的Sorry -词可知应该选择D 项，
即希望拨错号没有给对方造成不便，这是客套话。
36．【答案】：C
【解析】would 表示过去常见的情况，意为“总是，老是”，这里是说这位小女孩常常
在自己家的小花园里面玩耍。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
37．【答案】B
【解析】此空所在句子中逗号前后两部分之间有明显的转折意味，即虽然她很爱她的父
母和家庭，但是她渴望能住在这样的房子里面。这样的房子是指她看到的对面山上的那
个有着金闪闪窗子的漂亮的房子
38．【答案】：A
【解析】与前面的动词desired 并列，并且符合句意的只有A 项，即这个小女孩梦想着
住进那房子的美妙感觉，空后面都是她梦想的内容。
39．【答案】：C
【解析】此空所填词应该能够代替to live there 这个不定式短语，所以选C 项，此处it
作形式主语。她梦想着住在那里一定会很美好、很兴奋。
40．【答案】D
【解析】此空所填的词应该是同时修饰skill 和sensibility 这两个中心词的，结合文意可
知应选D 项。
41．【答案】：A
【解析】等到她获得了基本的技能和识别力的时候，她开始恳求妈妈让她在花园外骑自
行车。beg sb． for sth．“向某人恳求获得……”。
42．【答案】B
【解析】下文提到她离开了自己的家来到了梦寐以求的那个房子 里，据此可知应该是
她在花园外面骑车。这也与36 空后面的“in the mall garden”相对应。
43．【答案】A
【解析】空后面的内容是母亲的主张，母亲最后允许她去骑自行 车，但是坚持要求女
儿在家附近骑车。
44．【答案】：C
【解析】 前文出现了“for a bike ride”，下文也有rode 等关键词复现；故此处表示母亲
坚持要求女儿不要骑得太远，要在靠近自己房子的地方骑车。
45．【答案】C
【解析】与前文的女孩的梦想相呼应，这里应该选择C 项，这个小女孩心里很清楚自己
在往哪个方向骑，到花园骑车只是借口，她真正的目的是看看那所心目中美好的房子。
46．【答案】B
【解析】文章第一句交代了女孩家住在小山之上，那么她要穿越山谷必然要下山。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
47．【答案】D
【解析】由下文中的“put it against the gate post”可知D 项正确。她骑车来到了那个房
子的大门口。
48．【答案】：B
【解析】 空后面的动词短语got off 表示的是瞬间动作，所以不能选择while，while 所
引导的从句中的动词应该是延续性的。as 在此表时间，引导时间状语从句，意为“当……
的时候”。
49．【答案】：C
【解析】此处应是现在分词短语作path 的定语，此处只有C 项符合语境。lead to“通
往，通向”。
50．【答案】：D
【解析】结合语境可知，空后面的内容是那个女孩发现的，故选D。
51．【答案】：C
【解析】该空所填内容应与“rather dirty”并列，故此处应填plain“极普通的”。当她
发现所有的窗户都很普通并且相当脏的时候她感到非常失望。
52．【答案】：D
【解析】所填词与heart-broken 应是同义词，并且与上段女孩的心情保持一致，所以应
该选择D 项，即女孩很伤心并且心都碎了。

meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things．“可知D 项正确。
62．A【解析】Our Green Year 这个关键信息可以在倒数第二段找到，该段说作者一家完全
改变了生活方式，如在有机商店购物，少吃肉，尽量 少买不需要的东西不用化学清洁
剂等，这些都是环保的习惯，与A 项的概括相一致。故选A。
63．B【解析】文章最后一段中出现了grateful，believe 和do have the power 等关键词，这

71—75 BFGDE
第一处：将with 改为on。
第二处：将he works 前面的so 去掉。
第三处：将Hard work 后面的have 改为has。
第四处：将his 后面的healthy 改为health。
第五处：将That is 后面的which 改为what。
第六处：在visit 前面加不定冠词a。
第七处：将room 前面的her 改为his。
第八处：将into 前面的step 改为stepped。
第九处：将picture 改为pictures。
第十处：将many 改为much。
【解析】①spend time/money on sth．“在……上花费时间／钱”，为固定用法。
②因为该句逗号前面是with 的复合结构作状语，因此连词so 多余，so 一般用来连
接两个句子。
③因为本句的主语是Hard work，为第三人称单数形式，因此要用has。
④his 是形容词性物主代词，后面应该接名词，所以将healthy 改为health。
⑤引导表语从句，且在从句中作宾语，故用what。
⑥pay a visit to sb．表示“拜访某人”，为固定搭配。
⑦根据上下文内容可知，此处应用his 指代Mr． Johnson's。
⑧根据前面的Yesterday afternoon，paid，was，had 等词可知应用一般过去时。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
⑨picture 是可数名词，又因前面有some of 修饰，所以picture 应该用复数形式。
⑩修饰动词missed 应用副词much，much 在此用作程度副词，而many 只可用作形
容词，所以应将many 改为much。

A
Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago． He has a good
heart, but always feared applying for a new job．
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview． His
appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30． While waiting for a bus to the office where
he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his
car． Obviously there was something wrong with the car． Jimmy immediately went up to lend
him a hand． When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he
should pay for the service． Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in
need, and he had to rush for an interview． Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the
office for your interview． It’s the least I could do． Please． I insist．” Jimmy agreed．
Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed． Jimmy still
had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have
a change of shirt． One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look
on their faces． Finally his name was called． The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing
the office window． Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be
interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank． “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this
interview?” he thought to himself．
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped
earlier in the morning． It turned out he was the General Manager of the company．
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you
as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office． I just know you’d be a
trustworthy worker． Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved
coffee as he landed himself a new job．

George Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America’s greatest composers． He published his
first song when he was eighteen years old． During the next twenty years he wrote more than
five hundred songs．
Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New
York City． These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s． Many of
his songs have remained popular as ever． Over the years they have been sung and played in
every possible way — from jazz to country．
In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music． Could jazz, some
people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul
Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music． Gershwin
agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
it． And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called
Rhapsody in Blue． Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert． The audience were
thrilled when they heard his music． It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music
could be both serious and popular．
In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris． He applied to study composition (作曲)with the
well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him． She was afraid that classical study
would ruin his jazz-influenced style． While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris． When
it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music． Some called it happy and
full of life, to others it was silly and boring． But it quickly became popular in Europe and the
United States． It still remains one of his most famous works．
George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer． He was
only thirty-nine years old． Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front
pages． People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written．
61．Many of Gershwin’s musical works were ________ ．
A．written about New Yorkers
B． Composed for Paul Whiteman

D． performed in various ways

63．What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?

D．He changed his music style
64． What do we learn from the last paragraph?

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella． But designer Mikhail
Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should
result in you getting wet． That’s why he created Lampbrella，a lamp post with its own rain
sensing umbrella．
The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in
Russia． “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps
lighting up people trying to hide from the rain． I thought it would be appropriate to have a
canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp．” he said．
The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy． It has a
built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand． Sensors(传感器)then
ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining．
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass street
lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the Lampbrella． After three minutes of not being
used the canopy is closed．
According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to
cause harm to the pedestrians． Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting
strike． Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people． Being installed at 2
meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians．
While there are no plans to take Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently
introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on
any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter．
66．For what purpose did Belyacv create the Lampbrella?
A．To predict a heavy rain
B．To check the weather forecast
C．To protect people from the rain
D．To remind people to take an umbrella
67．What do we know from Belyaev’s words in Paragraph2?
A．His creation was inspired by an experience
B．it rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．Street lamps are protected by canopies
D．He enjoyed taking walks in the rain
68．Which of the following show how the Lampbrella works?
A．motor→canopy→sensors
B． sensors→motor→canopy
C．motor→sensors→canopy
D． canopy→motor→sensors
69．What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?
A．Its moving speed
B．Its appearance
C．Its installation
D．Its safety
70．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The designer will open a company to promote his product
B．The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production
C．The designer is confident that his creation is practical
D．The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow

Sparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants． Some years ago, the group to which
Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company． Although Sparrow showed no sign of
declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state． With more and more fast-food
concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention． And to make
matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required．
Sparrow failed to grow for another two years, until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to
build up its market share． He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used
Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food
chains were unwilling to turn away from them． Sparrow had to develop a new promotional
campaign．
Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand． The chain’s owner now
favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants． Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising
campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun． Such an
attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was
unusual for that time． Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather
than customers’ spending power． Finally, the owner accepted his idea．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry． The
TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety
of stars． Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intension was to put
Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers．
Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow
image． For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain
increase in their turnover． (营业额)
These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains
in the regions where it operated．
71．Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?
A．The number of its customers was declining
B．Its customers found the food unhealthy
C．It was in need of financial support
D．Most of its restaurants were closed
72．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Customers of Sparrow restaurants B．Sparrow restaurants
C．Customers of other fast-food chains
D．other fast-food chains
73．For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?
A．To build a good relationship with the public
B．To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow
C．To learn about customers; spending power．
D．To meet the challenge from Marcy’s restaurants．
74．The TV ads of Sparrow ________ ．
A． changed people’s views on pop stars
B． amused the public with original songs
C． focused on the superiority of its products
D． influenced the eating habits of the audience
75．What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO?
A． He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts．
B． He made Sparrow much more competitive
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C． He helped Sparrow take over a company
D． He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees

[1] Jean Paul Getty was born in 1892 in Minneapolis, Minnesota． He became a millionaire
when he was only 24． His father was wealthy, but he did not help his son． Getty made his

preparing for the final exam recently． In your e-mail, you asked me about my plan of the
summer holidays． If it comes to a choice, I prefer to go traveling．

learn about people from a different cultural background．Second, walking through a well-known
national park is another must on my list, where I can appreciate the creations of nature and relax
myself, Finally, I would visit some museums which should not be missed to widen my horizon as
well as enriching my knowledge．
All in all, traveling is the best choice to recharge ourselves and get ready for the new

In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from
Sydney, Australia． I was looking forward to having five fays off from duty． Unfortunately, the
only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left． So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭
便车)．
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me． Finally, a
man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon． He said that although he couldn’t give me a
lift, I should come back to his house for lunch． He noticed me standing for hours in the
November heat and thought I must be hungry． I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured
（使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards． When we
arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches． After lunch, he helped me find a lift home．
Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an
elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride． I thought it was another chance
to repay someone for the favor I’d been given decades earlier． I pulled over and picked him
up． I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water．
After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even
your red hair is still the same．” I couldn’t remember where I’d met him． He then told me he was
the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago． It was Gordon．
50．The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because ．
A．her work delayed her trip to Sydney
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．she was going home for her holidays
C．the town was far away from Sydney
D．she missed the only train back home
51．Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?
A． He helped the girl find a ride．
B． He gave the girl a ride back home．
C． He bought sandwiches for the girl．
D． He watched the girl for three hours．
52．The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that ．
A．she realized he was Gordon
B．she had known him for decades
C．she was going to the nearby town
D．she wanted to repay the favour she once got
53．What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?

D．People should offer free rides to others．

According to sociologists（社会学家）, every modern industrial society has some form of
social stratification（阶层）． Class, power and status are important in deciding people’s rank in
society．
Class means a person’s economic position in society． A commonly used classification is
lower class, middle class and upper class． While sociologists disagree on how these terms
should be exactly defined, they do describe societies like the United States quite well． One study
shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class, 46% the middle class, and 1% the upper
class． Interestingly, a surgeon earning ＄500,000 a year and a bus driver earning ＄50,000 a
year both regard themselves as the middle class!
Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people． Obviously, people in
positions of great power (such as governors) exercise（行使）big power, but people who take
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
orders from others have less power． Power and class do not always go hand in hand,
however． For example, the governor of a state has great power, but he or she may not belong to
a corresponding （相应的）economic class． Generally, however, there is a relationship between
power and class．
To our knowledge, there aren’t too many people who aren’t millionaires in the U．S． Senate!
Status is the honor or respect attached to a person’s position in society． It can also be affected
by power and class, but not necessarily so． For example, a university professor may have a high
status but not belong to a high social class or have a lot of power over others．
54．What can we learn about “the middle class” from Paragraph 2?
A．People earning ＄50,000 a year belong to the middle class．
B．Nearly half Americans belong to the middle class．
C．People generally consider bus drivers as the middle class．
D．Sociologists have a clear definition of the middle class．
55．According to the text, we know that _____．
A． power and class do not always correspond with each other
B． status refers to a person’s economic position in society
C． people with high status have a lot of control over others
D． class is less important in deciding a person’s social rank
56．Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?
D
About 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son． After getting settled

mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO, no, it can’t be． What a helpless, lonely
moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead． I asked him why he was
asking me all these questions．
My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting
the class, Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?
He was angry; “Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English
at home?”
No, I didn’t speak English at home, I replied． I was sure my son would learn English in a
couple of months, and I didn't want him to forget his native language． Well, wrong answer!
What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one
of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country,
never wanting to be a part of this society?”
Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people．” Then he told me the
meeting was over, and I left．
As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was
over． He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures． He travels
widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life． And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语
的)。
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches
people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the
“educator” I met in New Jersey．

I am an 18-year-old middle school student,
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
2013 年全国高考试题独家解析(陕西卷)
英语答案
1．A【解析】考查动词时态。句意：在星期一的早上，开车上班经常要花费我一个小时，
虽然实际的距离仅仅20 英里。根据句意可判断出，这里叙述的是一个经常性的情况，
所以用一般现在时。
2．A【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意：我的母亲建议我们这个周末出去吃饭，换换口味。suggest
等动词后面的宾语从句要用虚拟语气，其谓语形式为"should+动词原形"，should 可以
省略。故答案为A。
3．B【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：让那些需要帮助的人们明白我们会全力以赴去帮助
他们。从整个句子结构来看，这是一个主从复合句，that 引导的是宾语从句。let sb． do
sth．意思是"让某人做某事"。故答案为B。
4．A【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：刚才警察询问的目击者对这次打架给出了完全不同
的描述。由于The witnesses 和question 是逻辑上的动宾关系，同时在句中有表示过
去的时间状语just now，故要用动词的-ed 形式作后置定语表示被动和完成。故答案选
A。
5．C【解析】考查情景交际。——我累了，我下周打算休假。——好主意，亲爱的。你的
确需要休息一下。Not so sure 意思是"不太确定"；Forget it 意思是"没关系，别在意"；
Great idea 意思是"好主意"；No way 意思是"没门"。根据答语第二句可以判断出，此处
表示赞同，故答案为C。
6．D【解析】考查非限制性定语从句。句意：对于孩子来说经常会有这样的情况发生，当
医生到达时，Amy(比之前)好多了。根据句意并分析句子成分可知，空处引导一个非限
制性定语从句，指代后面整个句子，又因为在句首，所以要用as 引导该定语从句，as
在从句中作主语。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
7．C【解析】考查动词时态。句意：Jim 正在家看一部午夜电影，正看到令人毛骨悚然的
场景时，电视变成空白了。根据句意可知，此处表示过去某时间正在进行的动作。故选
C。
8．A【解析】考查状语从句。根据句意及主从句时态即可判断为A 项，因为since 从句用
一般过去时，主句用现在完成时。译为：自从我从国外回来，我已经听说了关于你的许
多好的事情。
9．D【解析】考查冠词的用法。句意：据说在十三世纪，Marco Polo 在去爪哇岛的途中在
太平洋上航行。第一空，Pacific Ocean 是一个专有名词，其前要用定冠词；第二空，
序数词前面要用定冠词。故答案为D。
10．D【解析】考查主语从句。句意：这个新形成的委员会的政策能否实施还有待观察。分
析句子结构可知，It 作形式主语，而真正的主语是后面的从句" the newly formed
committee’s policy can be put into practice"；再根据句意来判断，此处表示"是否"的意
思。故答案为D。
11．A【解析】考查情态动词。句意：孩子们一定在树林里迷路了；否则，他们会按照计划
到达湖边的营地了。根据句意可知，孩子们现在还没有到达，此处表示对过去事情的一
种肯定推测，故用"must have done"形式。
12．C【解析】考查代词辨析。句意：虽然Rosemary 多年身患重病，但是她没有失去对生
活的热情。根据句意可知，此处表示"一点儿也不，一点儿也没有"，所以应用none。
13．C【解析】考查情景交际。——今天下午一点钟我们出去喝一杯可以吗?——对不起，
我那时不行。两点可以吗?根据答语第二句可知，答话人是在委婉地拒绝。故C 项符合
语境。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
14．D【解析】考查介词短语。句意：经理想看到公司的变化，我确信他迟早会看到的。in
time"迟早"，符合句意。in particular 意思是"特别"，in turn 意思是"依次，轮流"，in charge
意思是"负责，掌管"，均与句意不符。
15．B【解析】考查动词短语辨析。句意：我的叔叔还不能戒烟，但是至少他少抽了一些。
cut down 意思是"削减，减少"，符合句意。cut out 意思是"剪下"，cut up 意思是"切成
小块"，cut off 意思是"切掉，分割开"，均与句意不符。
16．A【解析】为了庆祝我们考试的结束，我们去了一家快餐店。我们点了(ordered)汉堡包
和可口可乐。
17．A【解析】由于上文中提到了汉堡包和可口可乐，故此处指我们的食物(food)端上来了。
turn"轮到的机会"，bill"账单"，menu"菜单"，均不符合语境。
18．B 【解析】不幸的是，我钱包的带子挂在了椅子上面。短语get caught 在此处的意思
是"被挂住"。
19．C【解析】我手上的托盘也就从(from)我的手上滑出去了。
20．B【解析】此时托盘以及托盘中的东西也就撒落(fell)到一个人身上了。
21．A【解析】那个人刚要吃他的三明治。短语take a bite of．．．意思是"吃一口……"，
符合语境。
22．C【解析】由于饮料浸湿了那个人洁白的衬衫，所以我盯着他，感到很震惊(shocked)。
23．D【解析】由于害怕，我闭上(closed)眼睛，等着他的愤怒爆发。
24．C【解析】参见上题解析。anger"愤怒"，符合语境。
25．B【解析】但是那个人只说了一句"It’s OK"来安慰(comfort)我，然后去了洗手间。satisfy"
满足"，encourage"鼓励"，praise"赞扬"，均不符合语境。
26．C【解析】根据语境可知，此处表示作者不知道要做些什么(what)。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
27．C【解析】我们坐在一张桌子旁，尽力让我们看着冷静(calm)下来了。mild"温和的"，
honest"诚实的"，modest"谦虚的"，均不符合语境。
28．B【解析】过了一会儿，那个人从洗手间出来，向我们的桌子走来。approach"接近，
靠近"，符合语境。
29．A【解析】由于害怕被责备，我的心脏几乎都要停止跳动(beating)了。
30．C【解析】根据此句后面的call him 可知，我认为那个人要给我父亲打电话，所以就会
要我父亲的电话号码(number)。
31．B【解析】根据文章中的To my surprise 可以判断出，那个人的表现与我所想的不一致。
他仅仅对着我们笑了笑，给了我们一些钱，让我们再买(Buy)一些新的汉堡包。
32．D【解析】根据语境，他没有吃完就离开了。walk away 意思是"走开，离去"，符合语
境。
33．D【解析】他本来可以使这种糟糕的情况变得更糟糕，但是(but)他却选择了一种不同的
方式。
34．A【解析】从这件事上，那个人让我们相信了世界上还有仁慈(kindness)的存在。

的"nine-year-old Joshua" "Joshua one day makes friends with a little mouse"可知，答案为
B。
37．B【解析】考查细节理解。根据Encourage Me!的介绍中的"It is an easy-to-read collection
of poems"可知，这是一本诗集，它的书号是ISBN 9781412027854。故答案为B。
38．A【解析】考查细节理解。根据More Things in Heaven 的介绍中的"More Things in
Heaven will appeal to anyone who insists on finding the deepest meaning for their
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
existence based on their own experiences．"可知，这本书将吸引那些坚持寻找生命的意义
的人。故答案为A。
39．B【解析】考查细节理解。根据Creation or Evolution 的介绍中的"Were humans created，
or did they evolve?"可知，这本书探索了人类的起源。故答案为B。
40．D【解析】考查细节理解。根据文章第一段中的Unfortunately， the only one train a day

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
47．A【解析】考查细节理解。根据文章第四段中的"My son could not follow the teacher’s
directions， he told me， and thus， Scola was disrupting the class．"可知，老师请作者
去办公室就Scola 的课堂表现进行了一些交流。故答案为A。

66．I am an 18-year-old middle school student． I have been busy with my study and
seldom help my parents with the housework． Feeling quite sorry for that， I begin to think
about what to do to help．
Last Sunday， when my parents went out shopping， I suddenly got an idea： why
not give the rooms a thorough cleaning? Firstly I collected all the books， newspapers and
other things scattered in the rooms and put them in place． Then I wiped the dust off all
the furniture． After that， I swept and mopped the floors．
At this very moment， my parents came back and were quite surprised to see all the
rooms tidy and floors shining． My mother gave me a hug and I could see satisfaction in
her eyes． Tired as I was， I never felt so happy．
【解析】这是一篇提纲作文，要求写一篇做家务的周记。整体来看，写作的难度不大，考生
感觉有话可说，但是要写好也是很不容易的。因为每个人做家务的情况不同，做什么，如何
做，这也体现了高考作文开放性的特点。所以在写作时要注意：(1)选择一件自己记忆深刻
的做家务的事情，如帮助父母收拾屋子；(2)如何做，在写作时要做到层次清晰，要点突出，
如收拾家里乱放的书籍，打扫屋里的灰尘，拖地等；(3)做家务后受到家人的表扬以及自己
的感受。
由于叙述的是过去发生的事，所以整篇文章以一般过去时态为主。在句型选择上多使用一些
复合句等。
67．retell 68．March 69．prove 70．basket 71．invite 72．pandas
73．normal 74．balance 75．hopefully 76．supported
77．My grandfather and I enjoy fishing．
One Sunday morning we
go
went
fishing at a lake． We took ours
our
fishing poles and
headed for the lake． As soon as we arrived， so we dropped the lines into the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
water．

Feeling hungry， we built a fire by the lake and barbecued the fish． It was delicious．
【解析】第一处：将go 改为went。考查时态。句中出现了One Sunday morning，同时整
篇文章说明的是过去的情况，故要用一般过去时。
第二处：将ours 改为our。考查形容词性物主代词。修饰名词短语fishing poles 要用形容
词性物主代词。
第三处：去掉so。考查连词。根据句子结构可知，此处是一个as soon as 引导的时间状语
从句，所以就不能再使用连词so。
第四处：将Before 改为After。考查介词。根据句子意思可知，此处指的是我们在等了大约
半个小时之后。
第五处：将impatiently 改为impatient。考查形容词。get 是系动词，后面要用形容词作表
语。
第六处：将and 改为but。考查连词。根据上下文的意思可知，此处表示转折。
第七处：将were 改为was。考查主谓一致。在there be 句型中，be 的变化要和后面的名
词保持一致。根据后面的a sudden pull 可知，谓语动词要用单数形式。
第八处：在fish 前加a。考查冠词。此处用不定冠词a，表示泛指。
第九处：将minute 改为minutes。考查名词复数。由于前面有few 修饰，所以后面的名词
要用复数形式。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
第十处：将Felt 改为Feeling。考查非谓语动词。根据句子的结构可知，feel 与其逻辑主语
we 之间为主谓关系，故应用现在分词作状语，表示原因。

As a child, I cared much about my scars, so I 18 wore a scarf to cover them up when I
left home． 19 I didn't, people would call me horrible names like Baldy． Although my
friends were always comforting me ,they never 20 understood how it felt．

can get any help． There, I 22 14-year-old Stephanie, whose burns are a lot more serious

Holly," she 25 me． "And you don't need to wear a scarf because you look great 26
it!" For the first time in my life I could speak to someone who'd been through something

On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting． Looking out to the sea carefully, he
saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea．
Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football． Once
they'd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and
pulled the boat into open water． The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore． But they
were no match for it and the boat was out of control．
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves．
"Everything went quiet in my head," Tim recalls(回忆)． "I was trying to figure out how to swim
to the boys in a straight line．"
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water． Every 500 yards or so, he raised his
head to judge his progress． "At one point, I considered turning back," he says． "I wondered if I

LONDON - A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake(假冒的)
bomb detectors(探测器) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn't cared about potentially
deadly consequences．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
It is believed that James McCormick got about $77．8 million from the sales of his detectors -
which were based on a kind of golf ball finder - to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi
Arabia．
McCormick, 57, was convicted(判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the
Old Bailey court in London．
"Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit
promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death
and injury to innocent people," Judge Richard Hone told McCormick． "you have neither regret,
nor shame, nor any sense of guilt．"
The detectors, sold for up to $42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous
objects as bombs under water and from the air． But in fact they "lacked any grounding in
science" and were of no use．
McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison
service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand．
"I never had any had results from customers," he said．
39．Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?
A． He sold bombs． B． He caused death of people．
C． He made detectors． D． He cheated in business．
40．According to the judge, what McCormick had done _______．
A． increased the cost of safeguarding
B． lowered people's guard against danger
C． changed people's idea of social security
D． caused innocent people to commit crimes
41．Which of the following is true of the detectors?
A． They have not been sold to Africa．
B． They have caused many serious problems．

42．It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick _______．
A． sold the equipment at a low price

Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧)． It's fun to come home． It
looks the same． It smells the same． You'll realize what's changed is you． Home is where we
ran remember pain, live, and some other experiences; We parted here; My parents met here; I
won three championships here．
If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home． I walk in the door
and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table． To the right of the living room
is my first bedroom． It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are．
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on
Halloween-when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me． I always liked standing
on that table because it made me feel tall and strong． If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite
room in the house, my parents' room． It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side
of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side． Their
bed is my safe zone． I can jump on it anytime - waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have
an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning．
I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists． It exists in my mind and heart, on a
physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles． It is proof I
lived, I grew and I learned．
Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home． I know it's where
I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings． I purposely leave the window open at night
because I know I'll be blamed by Mom． But I don't mind, because I want to hear her say my
name, which reminds me I'm home．
43．Why does the author call her parents' bed her "safe zone"(Paragraph 3)?
A． It is her favorite place to play．
B． Her needs can be satisfied there．
C． Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side．

Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link
between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear．
Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the
moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩) and pumping blood around their bodies,
compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed． Scientists say the results suggest that
the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which
point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation．
Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said: "Our study shows for the
first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful
pictures in relation to our heart．"
The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown
pictures of fearful faces． Dr Garfinkel said, "The study showed that fearful faces are better
noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed． Thus our hearts can also affect what
we see and what we don't see - and guide whether we see fear．"
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner(扫描仪) to
show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of fear．
"We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’to each other to
change our feelings and reduce fear," Dr Garfinkel said．
"We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it
could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders,
and also for those for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder．"
47．What is the finding of the study?
A． One's heart affects how he feels fear．
B． fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat．
C． fear has something to do with one's health．
D． Ones fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear．
48．The study was carried out by analyzing _______．
A． volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures
B． the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions
C． volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data form their brain scans
D． different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart-brain communication
49．Which of the following is closest in meaning to "mechanism" in Paragraph 6?
A． Order． B． system． C． Machine． D． Treatment．
50．This study may contribute to _______．
A． treating anxiety and stress better
B． explaining the cycle of fear and anxiety
C． finding the sky to the heart-brain communication
D． understanding different fears in our hearts and heads

The couple have two daughters Michelle, 50, and Karen, 54．
Jackie added: "My youngest daughter worried about me - she doesn't think I should work as

56．It’s useful and necessary to discuss learning habits． In reality, different students have
different learning habits, which I think influence their learning efficiency
greatly． Good habits always lead to high efficiency, while bad ones bring the
opposite．
Some students are good at concentrating on what the teachers teach in class． They think
only in this way can they understand and memorize the teaching materials better． If
we find those materials interesting, we’ll focus our attention on them for
long． However, those dull lessons require our determination, self-controlling ability
and confidence．
My classmates always call me "Mr． forgetful", because I cannot memorize those I have
learnt． I know that it is because I don’t spend some time in memorizing them after
class． My teachers advise me to repeat the materials several times and read them
aloud, which they think will help improve my memory．

Last night’s meteor(流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and
demanding answers． According to Gabe Rothsibild, Emerald Valley’s mayor, people gathered in
the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning
meteors passing through the sky． What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s
lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead．
“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make
this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointments．”
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Astronomers---scientists who study stars and planets----have been complaining about this
problem for decades． They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky
that they could see quite easily in the past． They call on people and the government to take
measures to fight against it．
There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even
more from light pollution． This population consists of birds, bats frogs, snakes, etc． For example,
outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds． According to the International
Dark-Sky Association． “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with
lighted buildings and towers．”
Countless more animals casualties(伤亡）result from the use of artificial lighting． Clearly,
people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful
for humans, too． They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances
of getting cancer．
Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light
pollution． For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to
assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory． Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a
movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other
creatures can share the night．
41．It happened last night that
A.the city’s lights affected the meteor watching

Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life that
by the narrow road toward goals． I like this image． But I as quite by accident that I discovered
the deep meaning of his words．
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in
nine hours． We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest easiest road, especially
when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hates confinement(限制)and have strong
opinions about everything．
Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to． We would stick to
the freeways and arrive tired．
But then Banner, our lamb was born． He was rejected by his mama days before our
planned trip to Boise． I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with
me． My husband made the decision for me．
That is how I found my self on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my
everlasting optimism to see me through． We took the country roads out of necessity． We had
to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him． The kids chased him and one
another． They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass． Even if we simply
looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the
water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway． Here was life． And new horizons(见
识)．
We eventually arrived at my parents’ doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique． On an
empty section of road, everyone started quarreling． I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and
told them to meet me up ahead． I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet
silence．
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight． But that trip with Banner opened our
eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize
that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey----and the best part of yourself．
46．Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents’ home?
A． It was less time
B． It would be faster and safer
C． Her kids would feel less confined
D． She felt better with other drivers nearby
47．The author stopped regularly on the country roads to
A． relax in the fresh air
B． take a deep breath
C． take care of the lamb
D． let the kids play with Banner
48．What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?
A． Freeways are where beauty hides
B． Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life
C． Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one’s health
D． One should follow side roads to watch wild animals
49．Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?
A． To give herself some time to read
B． To order some food for them
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C． To play a game with them
D． To let them cool down
50．What could be the best title for the passage?
A． Charm of the Detour
B． The Road to Bravery
C． Creativity out of Necessity
D． Road trip and Country Life

When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute
delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get．
For kids, happiness has a magical quality． Their delight at winning a race or getting a new
bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的)．
In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes． Suddenly it’s conditional on such
things as excitement, love and popularity． I can still recall the excitement of being invited to
dance with the most attractive boy at the school party．
In adulthood the things that bring deep joy----love, marriage, birth----also bring
responsibility and the risk of loss． For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的)
My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”． The more we can enjoy what
we have, the happier we are． It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of
friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health．
I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday． First I was overjoyed when I shut
the last lunch-box and had the house to myself． Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing,
which I love． When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of
the day．
Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying
work． I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either． She did
have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her．
We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned
happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have． We’ve so self-conscious about our “right” to it
that it’s making us miserable ．So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier
Happiness isn’t about what happens to us----it’s about how we see what happens to us． It’s
the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative． It’s not wishing for what we don’t have,
but enjoying what we do possess．
51．As people grow older, they
A． feel it harder to experience happiness
B． associate their happiness less with others
C． will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness
D． tend to believe responsibility means happiness
52．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?
A． She cares little about her own health
B． She enjoys the freedom of traveling
C． She is easily pleased by things in daily life
D． She prefers getting pleasure from housework
53．What can b informed from Paragraph 7?
A． Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness
B． Psychologists ’opinion is well proved by Grandma’ case
C． Grandma often found time for social gatherings
D． Grandma’s happiness came from modest expectations of life
54．People who equal happiness with wealth and success
A． consider pressure something blocking their way
B． stress then right to happiness too much
C． are at a loss to make correct choices
D． are more likely to be happy
55．What can be concluded from the passage?
A． Happiness lies between the positive and the negative
B． Each man is the master of his own fate
C． Success leads to happiness
D． Happy is he who is content

第三部分：写作
第一节：阅读表达(共5 小题：每小题2 分，满分10 分)
阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
My name is Clara． I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class． I’d
finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine． A piece of news caught my
eye: NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover(火星探测器)．Before I even knew
anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind, Curiosity．
I couldn’t want for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay． That afternoon, I
raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached． “Curiosity is an
everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind．．．”
Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread
across her face．
On August 5,2012,at 10:31 p．m, the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the
surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA．
Curiosity is such an important part of who I am． I have always been fascinated by the stars,
the planets, the sky and the universe． I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit
together in the backyard for hours． She’d tell me stories and point out the stars, Grandma lived
in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even
when we were apart． They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about
them． That’s what I love so much about space．
People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mares． My answer is simple because
we’re curious． We human beings do not just hole up in one place． We are constantly
wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon．

A
No one knows for sure when advertising first started． it is possible that it grows out of the
discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them ． That led
the conception of specialization, which means that people would specialize．or focus on doing
one special job．
Let’s take a man we’ll call Mr． Fielder, for example, he did everything connected with
farming． He planted seeds, tended the fields and harvest and sold his crops． At the same time,
he did many other jobs on the farm． However, he didn’t make the bricks for his house, cut his
trees into boards, make the plows, or ant of the other hundreds of things a farm needs． Instead,
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those of things．
Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr.Plowright． Using what he knew about
farming and working with iron, Mr.Plowright, invented a plow that made farming
easier．Mr.Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in really good
plows．Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows．
How did Mr.Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of
course． First, he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract
customers． That sign may have no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple
arrow pointed to the shop door． It was probably all the information people needed to find
Mr.Plowright and his really good plows．
Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years
ago．Even before most people could read, they understood such signs． Shopkeepers would carve
into stone, clay or wood symbols for the products they had for sale．
A medium in advertising talk is the way you communicate your message． You might sat the
first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols． The second medium was audio, or
sound although that term isn’t used exactly the way we used today． Originally just human voice
and maybe some simple instruments, such as a bell, were used to get people’s attention．
A crier, in a historical sense, isn’t someone who seeped easily． It is someone, probably a
man with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city． In ancient Egypt,
shopkeepers may hire such a person to spread the news about their products． Often these
earliest forms of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods． Perhaps the crier
describes the goods, explained where they came from and praised their quality． His job was, in
other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in today’s world．
41．what probably led the start of advertising?
A. the discovery of iron B. the specialization of labor
C. the appearance of new jobs D. the development of farm techniques
42．to advertise his plow, Mr.Plowright
A. praised his plows in public B. placed a sign outside the shop
C. hung an arrow pointing to the shop D. showed his products to the customers
43．the writer makes up the two stories of Mr．Fielder and Mr．Plowright in order to
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．explain the origin of advertising B. predict the future of advertising
C．expose problem in advertising D. provide suggestions for advertising
44．in ancient Egypt was a crier was probably someone who
A. owned a ship
B. had the loudest voice
C. ran a shop selling goods to farmers
D. functioned like today’s TV or commercial
44．the last two paragraphs are mainly about
A. the history of advertising B. the benefits of advertising
C. the early forms of advertising D. the basic design of advertising
B
Below is a selection from a popular science book．
If blood is red ,why are veins(静脉)blue?
Actually, veins are not blue at all． They are more of a clear, yellowish color． Although
blood looks red when it’s outside the body, when it’s sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin,
it’s more of a dark reddish purple color． At the right depth, these blood-filled veins reflect less
red light than the surrounding skin, making them look blue by comparison．
Which works harder, your heart or your brain?
That kind of depends on whether you’re busy thinking or busy exercising． Your heart works
up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a
supertanker．
But ,in the long run, your brain probably tips it, because even when you’re sitting still your
brain is using twice as much energy as your heart, and it takes four to five times as much blood to
feed it ．
Why do teeth fall out, and why don’t they grow back in grown-ups?
Baby (or “milk ”) teeth do not last long ; they fall out to make room for bigger, stronger
adult teeth later on． Adult teeth fall out when they become damaged, decayed and infected by
bacteria． Once this second set of teeth has grown in, you’re done． When they’re gone, they’re
gone． This is because nature figures you’re set for life, and what controls regrowth of your teeth
switches off．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Do old people shrink as they age?
Yes and no． Many people do get shorter as they age． But, when they do, it isn’t because
they’re shrinking all over． They simply lose height as their spine(脊柱) becomes shorter and
more curved due to disuse and the effects of gravity(重力) ． Many (but not all) men and
women do lose height as they get older． Men lose an average of 3-4 cm in height as they age,
while women may lose 5cm or more． If you live to be 200 years old, would you keep shrinking
till you were, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No, because old people don’t really shrink! It is
not that they are growing backwards --their legs． arms and backbones getting shorter． When
they do get shorter, it’s because the spine has shortened a little． Or, more often, become more
bent and curved．
Why does spinning make you dizzy(眩晕的)？
Because your brain gets confused between what you’re seeing and what you’re feeling． The
brain senses that you’re spinning using special gravity-and motion-sensing organs in your inner
ear, which work together with your eyes to keep your vision and balance stable． But, when you
suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of control, and your brain thinks you’re moving while
you’re not!
Where do feelings and emotions come from?
Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system． All mammals have this
brain area --from mice to dogs, cats, and humans． So all mammals feel basic emotions like fear,
pain and pleasure． But since human feelings also involve other, newer bits of the brain, we feel
more complex emotions than any other animal on the planet
If exercise wears you out, how can it be good for you?
Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them． And as far as your body is
concerned, it’s “use it, or lose it”! It’s not that exercise makes you healthy；it’s more that a lack
of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease．
46．When is the colour of blood in a vein near the surface of the skin?
A．Blue． B． Light yellow．
C． Red D． Dark reddish purple．
47．Why do some old people look a little shrunken as they age?
A．Because their spine is in active use．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．Because they are more easily affected by gravity．
C．Because they keep growing backwards．
D．Because their spine becomes more bent．
48．Which of the following statements about our brain is true?
A．In the long run, our brain probably works harder than our heart．
B．When our brain senses the spinning, we will feel dizzy．
C．The brains of the other mammals are as complex as those of humans．
D．Our feelings and emotions come from the most developed area in our brain．
49．What is the main purpose of the selection?
A．To give advice on how to stay healthy．
B．To provide information about our body．
C．To challenge new findings in medical research．
D ．To report the latest discoveries in medical science．

The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby． Almost from the
moment it is born the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother． During the
first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large, warm, and soft
object in its environment , particularly if that object also gives it milk． After a week or so ,
however, the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother”
-----the real mother or the mother-substitute(母亲代替物)．
During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological(心
理的)thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby． The Harlows, a couple who are both
psychologists, discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of
mother-substitutes ----one covered with cloth and one make of bare wire． IF the two artificial
mothers were both the same temperature, the little monkeys always preferred the cloth
mother． However, if the wire model was heated, while the cloth model was cool, for the first
two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their
favorites． Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth
mother．
Why is cloth preferable to bare wire? Sometime that the Harlows called contact(接
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
触)comfort seems to be the answer, and a most powerful influence it is． Baby monkeys spend
much of their time rubbing against their mothers’ skins, putting themselves in as close contact
with the parent as they can． Whenever the young animal is frightened, disturbed, or annoyed, it
typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body． Wire doesn’t “rub”as well as
does soft cloth． Prolonged(长时间)“contact comfort”with a cloth mother appears to give the
babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk．
According to the Harlows, the basic quality of a baby’s love for its mother is trust． If the
baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother, the baby ignores the toys no matter
how interesting they might be． It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball． If its
cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom, the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for
dear life． After a few minutes of contact comfort, it obviously begins to feel more secure． It
then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys, but often rushes
back for a deep embrace (拥抱) as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is
well． Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time
playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its“mother”．
50．Psychologically, what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life?
A．Warmth B．Milk C．contact D．trust
51．After the first two weeks of their life, baby monkeys prefer the cloth mother to the wire
mother because the former is_______．
A． larger in size B．closer to them
C．less frightening and less disturbing D．more comfortable to rub against
52．What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged“contact comfort”?
A．Attention． B．Softness C．confidence D．interest ．
53．It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure,____．
A．it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toys
B．it spend more time screaming to get rewards
C．it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting
D．it cares less about whether its mother is still around
54．The main purpose of the passage is to______．
A．give the reasons for the experiment
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．present the findings of the experiment．
C．introduce the method of the experiment
D．describe the process of the experiment

In 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one
offer, I took what I could get ---- a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area ; western
New Jersey． My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be
doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen---- teaching English．
School started, but
I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country． Was this
rural area really New Jersey? My studies took a week off when hunting season began． I was told
they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms． I
was a young woman from New York City, who thought that“Make hay while the sun shines”just
meant to have a good time．
But, still, I was teaching English． I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep． And
then there was my sixth-grade class ------seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years
younger than me． I had a problem long before I know it． I was struggling in my work as a young
idealistic teacher ． I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written
word． The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room
In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior ． So I
did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my
students positive attention． It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that
humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable/ By the time my boss, who was also my
taskmaster ,known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced
teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good
behavior to praise．
My boss sat in the back of the room． The boys in the class were making animal noises,
hitting each other while the girls their nails or read magazines． I just pretended it all was n’t
happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions． My boss, sitting in
the back of the room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger． After twenty minutes he left,
silently． Visions of unemployment marches before my eyes．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free
period I had to face him． I wondered if he would let me finish out the day． I walked to his office,
took a deep breath, and opened the door．
He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard． I said nothing． All I could
think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that
everything was fine．
When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation,“You had nothing to say to them．”
“You had nothing to say to them．”he repeated,“No wonder they”re bored． Why not get
to the meat of the literature and stop talking about symbolism．“Talk with them, not at
them． And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior?”We talked． He named my
problems and offered solutions． We role played． He was the bad student, and I was the
forceful, yet ,warm, teacher.
As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human
being． And their attentions ,he helped me identify my weakness and my strengths． In short, he
made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson’s words;”The secret to education
lies in respecting the pupil．”
Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school． Thanks to the
help I received that difficult first year, the school is my home now．
55．It can be inferred from the story that in 1974_______．
A．The writer became an optimistic person
B．The writer was very happy about her new job
C．It was rather difficult to get a job in the USA
D． It was easy to get a teaching job in New Jersey
56．According to the passage, which of the following is most probably the writher’s problem as a
new teacher?
A．She had blind trust in what she learnt at college．
B．She didn’t ask experienced teachers for advice．
C．She took too much time off to eat and sleep．
D．She didn’t like teaching English literature
57．What is the writer’s biggest worry after her taskmaster’s observation of her class?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．She might lose her teaching job．
B．She might lose her students’ respect
C．She couldn’t teach the same class any more ．
D．She couldn’t ignore her students’ bad behavior any more

A．Her talk about symbolism sounded convincing
B．Her students behaved a little better than usual．

B．Tomorrow won’t be better.
C．Ideas need time to develop.
D．Your professor will be impatient.
E．You blow off your chances for help.
F．You’re probably overestimating(高估)the pain．
Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today
Want to put off studying for the physics test? Or writing that thirty-page research paper on
future uses of biotechnology? Sure you do? And who wouldn’t ?But it’s still a silly idea to put off
doing something until a future time． Here’s why．．．．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
61．______The task will be still the same． It won’t be any more fun and you still won’t want
to do it． As the deadline gets closer and closer, the task seems to become larger and larger if you
haven’t started the work． And the stress increased． Now not only do you have to write that
paper, you have to do it under great pressure．
62．_______Before you start, it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished． But you
know what? you’re probably miscalculating ． Get started----maybe on a small place-----and
you’ll discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you
thought． Result? You won’t experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to．Things are
guaranteed--100percent--to get better．
63．________If you leave your work until the night before it’s due, you give up the possibility
of getting input from your professor． Professors regularly give advice----or at least a few useful
tips----during office hours． Unfortunately, though, they don’t usually hold office hours at
midnight, so you’ll be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm that you have
no idea how to do the questions that will count for two-thirds of your grade．
64．_______Ever wonder why the professor assigns the paper two weeks before it’s due? It’s
because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue, or doing the research ,for two
weeks． No, not every waking moment, but at least some of the time．After all, the professor
could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected
less thinking． Most college papers require you to have some kind of idea, then to spend some
time thinking about it, revising it, and polishing it． When you throw together a paper or a report
at the last minute, your ideas are half-baked． And your professor will know it．
65．________If you put things off till the last minute, you might find that you haven’t
budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks． It’s the easiest thing in the world to
miscalculate how long it’ll take to do all the work especially when new issues arise---like illness,
family problems, computer breakdowns, trouble at work, and all the other things ---as you’re
thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test． If you keep
delaying, you don’t allow yourself time for those various life events that have an adverse(不利
的)effect on your ability to complete your assignment．

Dear Diary，
Here I am in the middle of a city，350miles far away from our farmhouse． Do you want to
know why we move last week? Dad lost his job, and as Mom explained,“He was lucky to find
other one ”． His new job meant I had to say goodbye to my classmate, my school or just
everything else I love in the world ． To make matters bad, now I have to share a room with my

英语答案
1．D【解析】句意：——嘿，能帮个忙吗？——当然可以，怎么帮？此处D 项与前面的“ask
you a favor”相照应，所以选D 项。A 项意为“给你”；B 项意为“正如我想的一样”；
C 项意为“情况怎么样？”。
2．B【解析】句意：Mary 刚开始在公司是临时秘书，但最终她在这里得到了一份全职的工

Section B
Directions：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box．Each word can only be
used once．Note that there is one word more than you need．
As infants， we can recognize our mothers within hours of birth． In fact， we can recognize
the 41 of our mother’s face well before we can recognize her body shape． It’s 42 how
the brain can carry out such a function at such a young age， especially since we don’t learn to
walk and talk until we are over a year old． By the time we are adults， we have the ability to
distinguish around 100，000 faces． How can we remember so many faces when many of us find
it difficult to 43 such a simple thing as a phone number? The exact process is not yet fully
understood， but research around the world has begun to define the specific areas of the brain and
processes 44 for facial recognition．
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believe that they have succeeded in
45 a specific area of the brain called the fusiform face area (FFA)， which is used only for
facial recognition． This means that recognition of familiar objects such as our clothes or cars， is
from 46 in the brain． Researchers also have found that the brain needs to see the whole
face for recognition to take place． It had been 47 thought that we only needed to see certain
facial features． Meanwhile， research at University College London has found that facial
A．restore
B．recall
C．processing
D．previously
E．necessary
F．locating
G．instead
H．fascinating
I．elsewhere
J．composition
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
recognition is not a single process， but 48 involves three steps． The first step appears to be
an analysis of the physical features of a person’s face， which is similar to how we scan the bar
codes of our groceries． In the next step， the brain decides whether the face we are looking at is
already known or unknown to us． And finally， the brain furnishes the information we have
collected about the person whose face we are looking at． This complex 49 is done in a split
second so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations．
Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions：For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A，B，
C and D．Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context．
Over the past few decades， more and more countries have opened up the markets，
increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market． The question
is：Is economic globalization 50 for all?
According to the World Bank， one of its chief supporters， economic globalization has
helped reduce 51 in a large number of developing countries． It quotes one study
that shows increased wealth 52 to improved education and longer life in twenty-four
developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world
economy． Home to some three billion people， these twenty-four countries have seen incomes
53 at an average rate of five percent—compared to two percent in developed countries．
Those who 54 globalization claim that economies in developing countries
will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses． 55 ， small
farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in 56
open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet．
Critics take a different view，believing that economic globalization is actually 57 the
gap between the rich and poor． A study carried out by the U．N．-sponsored World Commission
on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have
actually 58 from integration into the world economy and that the poor， the uneducated，
unskilled workers， and native peoples have been left behind． 59 ， they maintain that
globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses． For example， Indian craftsmen who
currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to 60 their products
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
may soon face fierce competition that could pot them out of 61 ． When large-scale
manufacturers start to produce the same goods， or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in，
these small businesses will not be able to 62 and will be crowded out．
One thing is certain about globalization—there is no 63 ． Advances in technology
combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world． The 64
now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all．

Section B
Directions：Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D．Choose the
one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read．
(A)
For some people， music is no fun at all． About four percent of the population is what
scientists call “amusic．” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or
reproduce musical notes (音调)． Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two
songs． Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
musical scale．
As a result， songs sound like noise to an amusic． Many amusics compare the sound of
music to pieces of metal hitting each other． Life can be hard for amusics． Their inability to
enjoy music set them apart from others． It can be difficult for other people to identify with their
condition． In fact， most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic． Just going
to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful． That is why many
amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music． However， this can result in
withdrawal and social isolation． “I used to hate parties，” says Margaret， a seventy-year-old
woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic． By studying people like Margaret，
scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition．
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can
appreciate music． The difference is complex， and it doesn’t involve defective hearing． Amusics
can understand other nonmusical sounds well． They also have no problems understanding
ordinary speech．Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors．
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断)．For years，
Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music． Now she knows that she is not
alone． There is a name for her condition． That makes it easier for her to explain． “When people
invite me to a concert，I just say，‘No thanks，I’m amusic，’”says Margaret．“I just wish I had

A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first
robotic fly． The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated
systems． Designed to do what a fly does naturally， the tiny machine is the size of a fat
housefly． Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks．
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of
a bunch of individual components (元件)，” said Robert Wood， the Harvard engineering
professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade． A few years ago，
his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components． “The added difficulty with a
project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to
develop them all on our own，” he said．
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly． “The seemingly
simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual
components， each of which individually has to perform well， but then has to be matched well to
everything it’s connected to，” said Wood． The flight device was built into a set of power，
computation， sensing and control systems． Wood says the success of the project proves that the
flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured．
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small， off-board power source， the goal is
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
eventually to equip it with a built-in power source， so that it might someday perform
data-gathering work at rescue sites， in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield． “Basically it should
be able to take off， land and fly around，” he said．
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at
insect-scale． Yet， the power， sensing and computation technologies on board could have much
broader applications． “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific
questions， you know， to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals， but
using these robots instead，” he said． “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting
scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis．”
72．The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that __．
A．they had no model in their mind
B．they did not have sufficient time
C．they had no ready-made components
D．they could not assemble the components
73．It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly ____．
A．consists of a flight device and a control system
B．can just fly in limited areas at the present time
C．can collect information from many sources
D．has been put into wide application
74．Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A．The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects．
B．Animals are not allowed in biological experiments．
C．There used to be few ways to study how insects fly．
D．Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments．
75．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．Father of Robotic Fly
B．Inspiration from Engineering Science
C．Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect
D．Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study

paragraph．There is one extra heading which you do not need．
76．
The use of health supplements such as multivitamin tablets has increased greatly in the
western world． People take these supplements because advertising suggests that they prevent a
range of medical conditions from developing． However， there is concern that people are
consuming worryingly high doses of these supplements and the European Union (EU) has issued a
directive that will ban the sale of a wide range of them． This EU directive should be supported．
77．
Research suggests that people who take Vitamin C supplements of over 5000 milligrams a
day are more likely to develop cancer． This shows how much damage these health supplements
do to people’s health． A spokesman for the health supplement industry has argued that other
research shows that Vitamin C supplements help prevent heart disease， but we can dismiss this
evidence as it is from a biased source．
78．
Science fiction of the 1960s and 1970s predicted that pills would replace meals as the way in
which people would get the fuel they needed． This， it was argued， would mean a more efficient
use of time as people wouldn’t have to waste it preparing or eating meals． The EU directive
would help prevent this nightmare of pills replacing food becoming a reality．
79．
People already take too many pills instead of adopting a healthier lifestyle． For example，
the consumption of painkillers in Britain in 1998 was 21 tablets per year for every man， woman
and child in the country． People do not need all these pills．

Some might argue that the EU directive denies people’s right to freedom of choice．However，
there are many legal examples for such intervention when it is in the individual’s best
interests．We now make people wear seatbelts rather than allowing them to choose to do
so．Opposing the EU directive would mean beneficial measures like this would be threatened．
Section D
Directions：Read the passage carefully．Then answer the questions or complete the statements in
the fewest possible words．
A study of more than five million books， both fiction and non-fiction， has found a marked
decline in the use of emotional words over time． The researchers from the University of Bristol
used Google Ngram Viewer， a facility for finding the frequency of terms in scanned books， to
search for more than 600 particular words identified as representing anger， dislike， fear， joy，
sadness and surprise．
They found that almost all of the categories (类别) showed a drop in these “mood words”
over time． Only in the category of fear was there an increase in usage．
“It is a steady and continuous decrease，” said Dr Alberto Acerbi． He assumed that the result
might be explained by a change in the position occupied by literature， in a crowded media
landscape． “One thing could be that in parallel to books the 20th century saw the start of other
media． Maybe these media—movies， radio， drama—had more emotional content than books．”
Although both joy and sadness followed the general downwards trend， the research，
published in the journal PLOS One， found that they also exhibited another interesting behaviour：
the ratio (比率) between the two varied greatly， apparently mirroring historical events．
During the Roaring Twenties the joy-to-sadness ratio reached a peak that would not occur
again until before the recent financial crash． But the ratio plunged at the height of the Second
World War． Nevertheless， the researchers held a reserved opinion about their claim that their
result reflected wider social trends． In the paper， they even argue that the reverse could be true．
“It has been suggested， for example， that it was the suppression (压抑) of desire in
ordinary Elizabethan English life that increased demand for writing ‘filled with romance and
sex’… perhaps，” they conclude， “songs and books may not reflect the real population any more
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
than catwalk models reflect the average body．”
(Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．)
81．A study of more than five million books indicated a decline in “mood words” over time except
_______________．
82．According to Dr Alberto Acerbi， one reason for the drop of “mood words” in books may be
that_______________．
83．What were the two periods when the joy-to-sadness ratio was at its highest?

not sure that _______________．

Dear Sir or Madam：
I have heard from the newspaper that you， the Shanghai Museum， are planning to organize
a famous painting exhibition． And you are now collecting suggestions about whether to hold it in
your museum or the art gallery． I am now writing to express my opinion that the exhibition
should be held in the museum． My reasons are as follows．
In terms of convenience， the museum has more advantages over the gallery． First， it is
located in the People’s Square， which is the center of the city． So people can enjoy convenient
transportation such as the subway line 1， 2 and 8， which are available to people from nearly
every district． It saves the visitors a lot of time and trouble of traffic jam． Another advantage is
that it is easy to be found by those from other provinces around the country． After all the
Shanghai Museum is a landmark of our city familiar to nearly every Chinese．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
With regard to the professional function， though it seems natural that an art exhibition be set
in the gallery， in a more general sense， I think the museum has more advanced facilities to make
the exhibition successful and to preserve the paintings well． As we know， the museum has
successfully held many national and international exhibitions and its advertising and organizing
experience is of no match； also its staff is qualified and professional．
To sum up， I am sure the show will be fantastic if it is held in Shanghai Museum．

Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a
new study says． Beehives (蜂窝)-either recorded or real-may even prevent elephants from
damaging farmer's crops．
In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees
living in them． Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from
eating crops． But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their
farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away．
Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder． Then she
threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life． Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until
the angry bees had calmed down． Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu
National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a close to each family．
From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same
time recording the elephants with a video camera． Half the elephant groups left the area within
ten seconds． Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry
bees． Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide
under them． When Lucy Played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to
many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed． Even after four minutes,
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
most of the groups stayed in one place．
Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees
after hearing it several times． She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初
的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers． She has now begun placing
speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away．
60．We know from the passage that elephants may he frightened of ．
A． loud noises B． some crops
C． video cameras D． angry bees
61．As mentioned in the passage, Lucy
A． works by herself in Africa
B． needs to test more elephant groups
C． has stopped elephants eating crops
D． has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms
62．Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?
A． To record the sound of bees．
B． To make a video of elephants．
C． To see if elephants would run away．
D． To find out more about the behavior of bees．
63．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A． Young elephants ignore African honeybees．
B． Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place．
C． Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them．

You are the collector in the gallery of your life． You collect． You might not mean to but you
do． One out of three people collects tangible（有形的）things such as cats, photos and noisy toys．
There are among some 40 collections that are being shown at “The Museum Of”—the first of
several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated by
unknown collectors． In doing so, they will promote a popular culture of museums, not what
museums normally represent．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Some of the collections are fairly common—records, model houses． Others are strangely
beautiful—branches that have fallen from tree, for example． But they all reveal （显露）a lot of
things: ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are．
Other on the way include “The museum of Collectors” and “The Museum of Me．”These
new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of “The Museum Of．” The thinkers behind the
project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so． They hope that visitors
who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they, too, collect．
Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important point: the
beginning or end of adolescence—“it’s a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up,”says
one． Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship． For time and life can
seem so uncontrollable that a steady serial（顺序排列的）arrangement is comforting．
64．How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums?
A． By collecting more tangible things．
B． By showing what ordinary people have collected．
C． By correcting what museums normally represent．
D． By accumulating 40 collections two years from now．
65．What can be learned about collectors from their collections?
A． Who they are． B． How old they are．
C．Where they were born． D． Why they might not mean to collect．
66．Which of the following is an aim of the new museums?
A． To help people sell their collections．
B． To encourage more people to collect．
C． To study the significance of collecting．
D． To find out why people visit museums．
67．According to the last paragraph, people may stop collecting when they
A． become adults B． feel happy with life
C． are ready for a relationship D． feel time to he uncontrollable

Should we allow modern buildings to- be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a
city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
preserve the historic feel of an area． Not all historical buildings are attractive． However, there
may be other reasons for example, economic ( 经济的) reasons-why they should be
preserved． So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the
majority of people． What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style． Indeed,
there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been
placed very successfully next to old buildings． As long as the building in question is pleasing and
does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the
area．
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are
in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too． Yet people still speak against new
buildings in historic areas． I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守
的)and do not like change．
Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that
it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward ． If we always reproduced
what was there before，we would all still be living in caves ． Thus , I would argue against copying
previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different , even though that might
be the more risky choice．
68. What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?
A. Some of them are not attractive．
B. Most of them ate too expensive to preserve．
C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings．
D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area．
69. Which of the following is true according to the author ?
A. We should reproduce the same old buildings．
B. Buildings should not dominate their surroundings．
C. Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in．
D. No one understands why people speak against new buildings．
70. By “move things forward ” in the last paragraph , the author probably means“ ”
A. Destroy old buildings
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B. Put things in a different place
C. Choose new architectural styles
D. Respect people’s feelings for historical buildings
71. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain why people dislike change．
B. To warn that we could end up living in caves．
C. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings．
D. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas．

You may not have heard of Ashoka，but for the past 27 years，this association, founded by
Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness, promoted education and encouraged
small businesses． To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world's most
promising "changem akers" seeking to solve (解决) urgent problems and would like to create a
world in which every citizen is a changemaker．
Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change． The important thing is to
simply give yourself permission． If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve
it． The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants
to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult． In fact It is many young people's ambition to
set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions． An excellent example is an
Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the
city ,helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there ．
When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that
lay in Dhaka’s streets，Attracting tats and disease , they discovered that 80% of it was natural
waste．So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆粪)this waste．They
knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling
with chemical fertilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in
the soil over the years ． At first , they were refused ,but once they were able to persuade them
that there was money to be made , the project took off． In 2009 sales were $14,000．
Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious ,practical
progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development．

A． the local farmers

Many people believe that classical music is not relevant music is not relevant to young
people today．However, this issue (问题) frequently causes heated debate．
Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people ．For example, if you
look at the audience at a classical concert , the majority is over the age of fifty．
Others say it is more popular than we first imagine ． Many young people listen to classical
music without realising．It is often used in films and advertisements． For example．a famous
piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup． Not many people
could have given its name , but millions enjoyed it．
Also，some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas:
for example, it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is
now used by young people in pop music．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by
technology． To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise
for hours． Nowadays, you don't need to get aching arms from practising． A teenager can write
and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom．
A final point to in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of
music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队)．This makes it even more difficult to
say whether classical music is relevant to young people．
So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments , but when it
comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music． It may be more relevant to
young people in the modern world than they realise!

Hi Worried,
I’m sorry to know that you’re having such a bad time at the moment． The truth is everyone
will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong，so you don’t have to worry
so much．The important thing is to learn to control your temper so that you may not do or say
anything you’ll regret．Here are three useful tips:
First，talk to someone you trust about how you feel．This is a good way of letting your anger
out without hurting others or yourself．Second，go outdoors and play games with your friends as
physical exercise is an effective way to get rid of anger．And third，remain optimistic about your
future．Such a positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits．
I hope you’ll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal．

Suzy Khan!”
Mr．Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s
set．“Thank you,” she cried．

The Brown Bear
My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore
birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear． The bear was thin and small, moving
aimlessly．
Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!”
An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop
at the last minute． This one was silent and its ears pinned back---- the sign (迹象) of an animal
that is going in for the kill． And it was a cold April day． The bear behaved abnormally, probably
because of hunger．
I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into
me． Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its
mouth． It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight． I knew I would not be able to hold
it for long．
Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family,
who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear．
The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod． I raised my left arm to protect my face;
the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side． My arm could not move, and I
sensed that my bones were going to break．
Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times． The
bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away． I was actually wrestling (扭
打) with the bear at this point． Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended． The bear
moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack----- The first time I felf panic．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a
fence as it went． My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been
better． I’m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very
different outcome．
60．The brown bear approached the family in order to _______．
A．catch shore birds
B．start an attack
C．protect the children
D．set up a barrier for itself
61．The bear finally went away after it _______．
A．felt safe
B．got injured
C．found some food
D．took away the camera
62．The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ______ ．
A．pride
B．patience
C．calmness
D．cautiousness
C
Choosing the Right Resolution (决定)
Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal of
losing weight． However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake．
To reach our goal of losing weight --- the output, we need to control what we eat --- the
input ( 输入)． That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input． This is a
bad way to construct goals． The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input． Instead of
resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “I’ll stop having desert for lunch,” or “I’ll
walk every day for 20 minutes．” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely
be more effective than concentrating on the outcome．
Recently a new science behind incentives (激励) , including in education, has been
discussed． For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating
children to do better in school． In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like
reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on
exams． His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but
had no effect on output． Fryer’s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more
effective because do not know how to do better on exam, aside from general rules like “study
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
harder．” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much
more control．
As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of
success． And it’s easier to start again if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do．
If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at
home instead of going to a cafe, for example． This is a well-specified action-based goal for which
you can measure your success easily． Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too
general． Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, don’t stop with this general
wish． Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night
every Wednesday．
In the long run, these new goals could become a habit．
63．The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because _______ ．
A．it is hard to achieve for most Americans
B．it is focused too much on the result
C．it is dependent on too many things
D．it is based on actionable decisions
64．In Roland Fryer’s research, some students did better than the others because ______ ．
A．they obeyed all the general rules
B．they paid more attention to exams
C．they were motivated by their classmates
D．they were rewarded for reading some books
65．According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal?
A．“I’ll give up desert．”
B．“I’ll study harder．”
C．“I’ll cut down my expense”
D．“I’ll spend more time with my family”
66．The writer strongly believes that we should ________ ．
A．develop good habits and focus on the outcome
B．be optimistic about final goals and stick to them
C．pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits
D．set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output
D
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Multitasking
What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed (展示)
at the entrance? Or the soft background music?
But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no． But while
a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly
there． And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase．
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly
dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines． A smell may be attractive but it may not
just be used for freshening air． One sports goods company once reported that when it first
introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent．
When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s
success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale． That is mainly because shopping
is a very different experience to what it used to be．
Some years ago，the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales
assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays． Now the rise of
electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience． But
while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full
experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they
leave． Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination． And
scent is just one way to achieve this．
Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby
powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section． A
department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s
windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent．
67．According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand
store?
A．Friendly assistant．
B．Unique scents．
C．Soft background music
D．attractive window display．
68．E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ ．
A．show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．urge shop assistants to change their attitude
C．push stores to use sights and sounds
D．introduce the rise of e-commerce
69．The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means _______ ．
A．a platform that exhibits goods
B．a spot where travelers like to stay
C．a place where customers love to go
D．a target that a store expects to meet
70．The main purpose of the passage is to ______ ．
A．compare and evaluate
B．examine and assess
C．argue and discuss
D．inform and explain

Evaluating Sources (来源) of health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation． A key first
step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy
information ．Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant
information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to
analyze information and the reliability of sources． 71
Go to the original source ． Media reports often simplify the results of medical
research． Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was
based on good science． Think about the type of study． 72
Watch for misleading language． Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is

There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and
doing exercise．Some people believe that they can't help putting an weight as they get older，
while others hold that if they stop exercising，their muscles will turn into fat．Here are some more
myths
I’ll never lose weight--I come from a fat family
Wrong! While we can't change the body type we are born with， we can't blame our genes
for making us fat． There's plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families， and the main
reason is that they share the same habit of eating too much and exercise too little．
I am fat because I burn calories slowly
Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢)．In fact，although fat people
consume more energy than slim people，they also fail to realize how much they eat Keeping a
diary can help you work out your daily food intake mom accurately．
Exercise is boring
Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively．The key is to develop a
balanced and varied program that's fun as well as progressive． If you enjoy a Sunday walk， take
a different mute．If you do yoga， try a tai chi class． If you like swiping， set yourself a distance
or time challenge．
No pain， no gain
Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt． Indeed， pain is you body telling you something's
wrong，and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury．You may experience mild
discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly，but this is your body adapting to the positive
changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly．If they don't， rest and
seek medical advice．
40． What does the author think about being fat?
A． It is the family genes that make people fat．
B． People are fat because they consume too little energy．
C． A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat．
D． It is the consequence of people's unbalanced lifestyle．

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B． By choosing simple exercise．
C． By doing regular exercise．
D． By sticking to outdoor exercise．
42． What is the author's opinion about "No pain， no gain" in exercising?

B． Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt．
C． Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal．
D． Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body．

D． To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise．
C
The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly．Sadly，
biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid--we simply weigh
too much，and all our mm pushes down through our relatively small feet， resulting in a lot of
pressure that makes us sink．
However， several types of animals can walk on water． One of the most interesting is
the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus， a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America． It
can run across water for a distance of several meters， avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the
water's surface with its feet． The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving
forward．For humans to do this， we'd need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order
to create adequate "hitting．"
But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour． By adding enough of this common
thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot)， you can create a "non-Newtonian" liquid that
doesn't behave like normal water． Now， if the surface of the water is hit hard enough，
particles(粒子) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard． Move
quickly enough and put enough force into each step， and you really can walk across the surface
of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Fun though all this may sound， it's still rather messy md better mad about in theory than
carried out in practice， if you must do it， then keep the water wings handy in case you start to
sink--and take a shower afterward!
44． Walking on water hasn't become a reality mainly because humans _ _．
A． are not interested in it
B． have biological limitations
C． have not invented proper tools
D． are afraid to make an attempt
45． What do we know about Basiilius basilicus from the passage?
A． It is light enough to walk on water．
B． Its huge feet enable it to stay above water．
C． It can run across water at a certain speed．
D． Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in watch
46， What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?
A． To create a thick liquid．
B． To turn the water into solid．
C． To help the liquid behave normally．

One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest，the next，the air was charged with
tension．The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly
changed．I urged the elephant deeper into the forest．We sounded like a forest fire-crackling，
snapping，trailblazing． But through all the noise came a sharp wanting cry． The elephant
stopped and we heard it again—the tell-tale call of a spotted deer．
I looked quickly mound the shadows of the forest． Rays of sunlight shone through tree
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
branches，beneath which the patchwork (交错) of green plants and shadow-within-shadows
would make tiger stripes (条纹) look more attractive． Apart from an occasional noise from the
elephant's stomach，the forest wins silent．
Gradually， the tension slipped from our bodies． The elephant seized a nearby branch and
put it into her mouth． I roached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant's neck;
there was a soft part， free of wrinkles and hairs， behind her ear．
This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett，although I saw no
tigers in the end．Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains，Corbett is home to about 135
Bengal tigers，but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts( 出没处)，a silent
reminder of their secrecy and rarity．Still，I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the
ear．If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger，I could have gone to a zoo．After all，spotting
tigers mealy confirms their beauty；backing them can make you aware of something more．
48． Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?
A． The elephant stopped．
B． A spotted deer called．
C． The elephant seized a branch．
D． The forest was silent for a while．
49． The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by
A． describing various sounds
B． comparing different animals
C． listing different activities
D． introducing various plants
50． What does the underlined part "to sense the aura" most probably mean?
A． To see the diversity．
B． To enjoy the scenery．
C． To feel the atmosphere．
D． To experience the freedom．
51． How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett?
A． Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling．
B． It is very time-consuming to travel in Corbett．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C． It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett．
D． The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing．
E
It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and
attitudes．They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment． They pay $5 for
a caramel brulée latte because they like expensive coffee drinks．
It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions (性情)， but in many
instances we also draw inferences about who we are， as suggested by the social psychologist
Daryl Bem． By observing our own behavior． We can be strangers to ourselves． If we knew our
own minds，why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our
minds were an open book，we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or
like lattes．Actually，we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are．
Moreover，we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of
character—we infer characters that weren't there before．Our behavior is often shaped by little
pressures around us，which we fail to recognize． Maybe we recycle because our wives and
neighbors would disapprove if we didn't． Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people
around us． We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner
disposition．
Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make， people become what they
do，though it may not be in compliance (符合) with their true desires． Therefore， we should
all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice: "We are what we pretend to be， so we must be careful
about what we pretend to be．"
52． According to the passage， personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to __
A． determine one's behavior
B． reflect one's taste
C． influence one's surroundings
D． result from one's habits
53． Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?
A． The return of a wallet can indicate one's honesty．
B． A kind person will offer his seat to the old．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C． One recycles plastics to protect the environment．
D， One buys latte out of true love of coffee．
54． What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?
A． We fall to realize our inner dispositions．
B． We can be influenced by outside pressures．
C． Our behavior is the result of our true desires．
D． Our characters can shape our social relationships．
55， What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?
A． Personalities and attitudes．
B． Preferences and habits．
C． Behavior and personalities．
D． Attitudes and preferences．

I am a high school student from China
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
2014 年全国高考试题独家解析(重庆卷)
英语答案
1．C【解析】此句是一个含有转折连词but 的并列句，but 后面说“意义非常大”，据此可
知but 分句前面应该是含有否定意义的内容，所以只能选C 项，即微笑虽然不用花费
什么，但意义却是很大的。
2．B【解析】此题中but 一词的转折意味不可忽视，应该选择B 项，即回复者说虽然想再多
待一会儿但是却不得不走。
3．C【解析】因为事先订好了比萨，所以当然就不必在回家很累时担心做饭问题了。据此应
该选择C 项，needn't“不必”，也可写成don't have to。
4．A【解析】在时间状语从句中应该用一般现在时表示将来。所以选择A 项。
5．B【解析】观察四个选项可以看出，其中A 项和C 项是主动形式，B 项和D 项是被动形
式，因此我们要考虑语态问题，cameras 与return 是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以要用被
动形式，D 项表示“将被”不合逻辑，所以选择B 项，过去分词作定语修饰中心词the
cameras。
6．A【解析】第一空应该用定冠词，the way to 可以视为一个固定搭配，意为“去……的路”；
第二空前加不定冠词a，人名前加不定冠词表示“一个叫……的人”。
7．D【解析】因为车在拐弯的时候开得如此快所以应该是车差点脱离了道路，据此可知应
该选D 项。off 意为“离开”。
8．B【解析】前一句说James 已经到了，然后用but 语意一转说直到昨天才知道他要来，据
此可知应该填表示将来含义的时态。A 项虽然表示将来但是因为主句用了过去时所以
从句不能用一般将来时，因此只能选择B 项，用过去进行时表将来。
9．A【解析】因为先行词指物，又因为从句的动词set 缺少必要的宾语所以只能选A 项，D 项
在从句中虽然可以作宾语但是不能引导定语从句。
10．C【解析】must have done 的反意疑问句中助动词既可以用have 也可以用过去式形式，
但是如果语境中出现了明确的过去时间状语则只能用过去式形式，本题中出现了last
summer，因此只能选择C 项。
11．D【解析】空后面是前面动作的目的，所以应该选择D 项，用不定式作目的状语。句意：
课后组织小组活动是为了培养孩子们的团队精神。
12．B【解析】根据句意选择B 项，why 引导宾语从句表原因。——昨天Mike 拒绝耶鲁大学
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
的录取，这是真的吗？——是的。但是我不知道他为什么这样做。那是他最喜欢的大学
之一。
13．A【解析】as if 从句后面可以用虚拟语气形式，表示与某一事实相反的情况，因为第一
句交代John 打坏窗子已经是过去的情况了，所以应该选择A 项。
14．D【解析】此处where 意为“在……的地方”，引导地点状语从句。句意：半个小时之
后，Lucy 在她下公交车的地方仍然没有打到车。
15．C【解析】因为对方询问对书面报告的看法，所以Jack 应该先给出大概的评价，因此选
择C 项，先是委婉地赞许一下，然后But 一转说自己有个建议，即要指出不足之处。
【解题导语】本文讲述了Ahmed 帮助作者修水龙头的故事，Ahmed 的善举让失去丈夫
的作者认识到这个世界充满友善。
16．A 空后不定式用just 加强语气，意为“只要一想到这件事就……”，再结合文章首句可
知，此处指的应该是让作者伤心。因为平时的修修补补都是丈夫来做，此时作者自然
想到了死去的丈夫。
17．B 这里是作者回忆丈夫生前的情况，即作者和丈夫一起生活的日子。故用shared 意思
是“共有的”。
18．D 第二段前两句为两个对比句。作者是一个“艺术家”，给家带来很多想象力，而丈夫
是一个“实干家”。
19．B 根据“from unpleasant repair jobs”可知，此处表示“保护……”，故选B 项。
20．A 作者当时如此伤心和生气，以至于完全忽视了这所房子。
21．B 水龙头漏水让作者清醒了，认识到自己现在得面对修修补补这种挑战了。face up to
“敢于面对，勇于正视（困难或不快之事）”，符合语境。
22．C Ahmed 不了解作者家的情况，看到作者和丈夫的相片，当然会产生疑问：作者的丈夫
不喜欢这种工作吗？
23．D 第18 空后的“He had a real gift for handling chores（家务活）”可知作者认为丈夫生前
修理东西做得相当棒。
24．D 听说作者的丈夫去世了，Ahmed 当然是给予同情。
25．B 根据第五段最后一句可知，Ahmed 与作者的丈夫一样很有维修天赋，因
此他的修理工作做得很好。
26．A 所填词修饰“pain”，再结合上文提到的作者丈夫去世的情况可知，此处应该是指作
者失去丈夫的痛苦。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
27．C Ahmed 的举动使作者想到世界充满友善。
【解题导语】不同国度有着不同的风俗，因此我们有必要了解这些差异，清楚哪些是不
该做的，哪些是应该注意的。
28．C 身处异国，要入乡随俗，尊重不同国家的文化差异。
29．B 空处所在句子是一个过渡句，下文主要是一些建议，所以应该选择tips。
30．D 每个旅行者在外国时某一时刻会感到尴尬。因此选择D 项，awkward“令人尴尬的”。
31．C 结合第二段前两句可知，如果在异国他乡遇到了令人尴尬的事儿，你应该有幽默感。
32．B 逗号后面是前一句的原因，所以选择for，说明理由。
33．A 本段最后一句说应该把破的牛仔裤放到家里，由此可知此处应该选择A 项，表示露肉
是被禁止的。
34．A 根据下文中的“Getting angry”可知，这是一种情绪，由此可知答案。
35．C 结合语境可知，此处表示在公共场所接吻在有些国家也是不明智的，言外之意这也是
不应该做的。
【解题导语】 一个爱干净利落，做事很有条理，而另一个却正好相反，这样两个人同
住一室不打闹才怪呢。是什么使两位室友吵闹后又和好如初呢？
36．D【解析】根据第二段的“Why under my bed”可知，凯特进屋之后大喊是因为作者把
自己的鞋子放在凯特的床下面了。
37．C【解析】作者打扫房间是在得知凯特的奶奶病重的消息之后，再根据第三段最后一句
的提示可知，作者之所以这样做主要还是出于同情和关怀。
38．B【解析】第一段用连词while，but，and 巧妙地将作者和凯特的不同进行了对比，由
此可知应该选择B 项。
39．D【解析】全文通过对两个生活习惯截然不同的室友由闹矛盾到和好如初的叙述生动地
展示了”学做室友”这一主题。
【解题导语】对于肥胖和做运动人们有很多错误的认识，本文列举了四个错误的认识并
且点明了正确的做法。
40．D【解析】根据I'll never lose weight -I come from a fat family 中的最后一句可知答案。发
胖的主要原因是吃得太多又运动得太少，这都是不平衡的生活方式。
41．A【解析】根据Exercise is boring 这个小标题下面的第二、三句话可知答案。避免运动
的单调可以通过进行多种形式的运动来解决。
42．B【解析】根据No pain，no gain 这个小标题下面的第三句话可知，锻炼时如果身体疼
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
痛则表明出了问题，继续锻炼会对身体造成严重伤害，因此应该停止锻炼了。
43．B【解析】文章第一段就点明了本文的主题，其中的false ideas 和myths 与B 项中的
misconceptions 一致。
【解题导语】虽然很多动物比如一种蜥蜴可以在水上行走，但是在水上行走一直是人类
难以实现的梦想，本文介绍一种可行的原理，不过目前仍然处于理论研究层面。
44．B【解析】根据第一段第二句可知答案，人类不能在水上行走主要是因为受到其生理上
的局限。
45．C【解析】根据第二段第四句中的“20 steps per second”可知，一种蜥蜴能够在水上行
走，速度是非常关键的。B 项干扰性很强，但是蜥蜴并不是待在水面上，需要用脚快
速击打水面。
46．A【解析】根据第三段第二句可知，玉米粉的作用是使水变稠。“thickening”与A 项中
的“thick”一致。
47．D【解析】根据最后一段的陈述可知，该设想理论上可行但是目前尚不能实现。
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要描述了作者在Corbett 森林追踪孟加拉虎的惊
心动魄的过程。
48．B【解析】根据第一段最后两句可知答案。传来一声尖叫示警，这尖叫声是鹿的叫声。
“warning”与“alarm”一致。
49．A【解析】第一段中出现了很多与声音有关的关键词：
“alarm calls”，
“sounded”，
“crackling，
snapping”，“warning cry”等，由此可知答案。
50．C【解析】结合文章第一句中的“the air”可知，此处应该是作者第四次觉察到树林中
的那种紧张的气氛。“sense”与C 项中的“feel”同义。
51．D【解析】此题可用排除法，作者并没有看见老虎所以A 项不对。文章也没有提到在Corbett
森林旅游是否耗费时间。C 项中的“study the animals”与原文不符，作者并不是在研
究森林中的动物。根据文章最后一句的“tracking them”可知作者是追踪孟加拉虎。
【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。观其行知其人，那么行为又是由什么来决定的呢？
52．A【解析】根据文章第一段的第一句话可知答案。人们通常认为性格和态度决定一个人
的行为。故选A。

honesty 是人品。故选A。

第三部分 阅读理解(共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
It was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local
supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson． As we were leaving, we found that
only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her
head on the concrete． Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere
and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock．
Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had
happened to the couple． He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front
of everyone．”
At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling
cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds．Tenyson suggested that we should buy the
lady a flower． “It will make her feel better,” he said． I was amazed that he’d come
up with such a sweet idea． So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we
could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up．“Just take it,” she replied．“I can’t take
your money for such a wonderful gesture．”
By now paramedics（急救人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured
woman． As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and
medical equipment． He said he was just too scared to go up to her．
Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “ My son was
very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better．”
At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a
wonderful son． Happy Mother’s Day to you．”
The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was
from． Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in
her eyes and gave him a little smile．
56．What dose the author intend to tell us?
A．One can never be too careful．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．Actions speak louder than words．
C．Love begins with a little smile．
D．A small act of kindness brings a great joy．
57．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson．
B．Tenyson’s idea of buying a flower gained his father’s support．
C．Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller．
D．The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture．
58．The underlined word “intimidated” in the fourth paragraph probably means
“_______”．
A． astonished B． struck C． frightened D． excited
59．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Flower Power
B．Mother’s Day
C．An Accidental Injury
D．An Embarrassing Moment
B
Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and
Mickey Mouse．However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved
characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White． They are almost automatically
associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies．
The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know
today．It started off with the girl mourning her mother’s death and going to her tomb
three times a day．In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was
no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse
and carriage．
The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella’s food into the ashes of
the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence（因此）her name．
In the original story, the king’s ball actually lasted for three days． With the help
of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
and the prince fell in love with her． However, she broke away from him to rush back
home each night． On the last night, the prince placed soothing sticky on the stairs; as
Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it．
Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the
house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told
one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe． The daughter did
as told． So the prince took her away to be his bride． But when they passed the tomb
of Cinderella’s mother, the birds called out to the prince，“Turn and peep, there’s
blood in the shoe；the shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you．”
Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her
mother．The other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with
the same result． Only Cinderella’s foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry
her． The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella’s two stepsisters followed
her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king’s riches, two
birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes． Because of their wickedness and
falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind．
The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version．Thank goodness

BLOOD DRIVE ＆ MARROW（骨髓）REGISTRATION
“These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future
and they rely on the kindness of the strangers to make that
happen．
— Daisy, Isabelle’s Mother
Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei．In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed
（诊断）with a genetic blood disorder，beta thalassemia．Isabelle’s body is unable to produce
healthy red blood cells． As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (输血) every
4-6weeks since she was 11 months old． A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious
medical problems ． Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow
transplant． Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow
donor through The Match Registry． The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients
like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood．

may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of
desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes．
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life． Most
people are already swamped(淹没) with things． They eat, wear, go and talk too much． They
live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut．
Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅) , a royal palace． Every new taste, every
additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room． Here are several rooms your house of
life should have．
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful
things． If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would
make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry．
Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many
an hour of rest and refreshment． To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person,
for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library．
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent． Real riches are of the spirit． And when
you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you
have increased your thrills and bettered them． And life is a matter of thrills．
Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life． No matter who you are, you
would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the had days, if
you could, and did, play a bit．
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep
adding．
68．The author intends to tell us that____________．
A． true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means
B． big houses are people's most valued possessions
C． big houses can in a sense bring richness of life
D． true happiness comes from spiritual riches
69．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that__________．
A． however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied
B． however materially rich, they remain spiritually poor
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C． though their house is big, they prefer a simple life
D． though their house is big, it seems to be a cage
70．It can be learned from the passage that __________．
A． more money brings more happiness
B． art is needed to make your house beautiful
C． literature can enrich your spiritual life
D． sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness
71．What would be the best title for the passage?
A． House of Life B． Secret of Wealth
C． Rest and Refreshment D． Interest and Enthusiasm

As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe，few issues cause greater concern
than energy policy． Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the
power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take "direct action", even though the
planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage． And the generous subsidies (财政补贴) ,
which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and
set landowners in conflict with other residents (居民) ．
Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they
cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot
match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace． Supporters insist
that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is
committed to meeting EU ( European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation．
Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over
whether to publish an official report on wind farms' impact on the countryside becomes even
more extraordinary． The two parties in the coalition (联合) government are in disagreement
over what it should say．
We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the
judge．Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant
surprise to people who do not like them． Equally, supporters must argue their case by
acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
attention．
The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an "acceptable" report
suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain
way． Given the sensitivities involved, all the information should be available so that people can
reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion（猜疑）that facts are being
replaced by political beliefs．
72．We can learn from the first paragraph that__________．
A． energy policy catches much attention of the public
B． the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farms
C． many village communities are satisfied with the subsidies
D． the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents
73．Supporters think that the expansion of wind power____．
A． is more rapid than that of carbon-based power
B． guarantees an increase in energy output
C． is expected to be much better than that of nuclear power
D． agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generation
74．It can be inferred from the passage that____．
A． an official report will settle the energy problem
B． the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farms
C． the two parties have agreed on a further negotiation
D． political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts
75．Which of the following reflects the author's opinion?
A． Increase political impact on energy policy．
B． Release a statement of supporters on wind farms．
C． Let the nation judge the facts about wind power．
D． Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusions．

英语答案
1-5 ABCBA 6-10 BCACA 11-15 ACBCA 16-20 CBCAB
21．B【解析】句意：在一些国家，人们用筷子吃东西，而在另外一些国家，用的是刀叉。
此处与some 相呼应，构成“some．．．others．．．”，意为“一些……另外一些……”，
others 是泛指，表示的是复数含义。
22．D【解析】句意：我们的俱乐部向每个人开放，不管（他们的）年龄、性别或教育背景。
regardless of 表示“不顾，不理会”。前三项分别表示“由于”、
“除了……之外”、
“除……
以外（还）”，都不符合语境。
23．A【解析】此处与前半句中的went 相呼应，表示过去的动作，所以用一般过去时。
24．D【解析】句意：随着网上购物的快速流行，因特网被视为一种联系目标客户的高效的
方式。efficient 表示“效率高的”。前三项分别表示“暂时的”、“复杂的”、“准确的”，
均不符合句意。
25．C【解析】句意：人们普遍认为应该通过综合素质来评价学生。evaluate 表示“评价，
评估”，符合句意。A 项表示“支持”；B 项表示“与……相配”；D 项表示“控制”。
26．D【解析】——你能告诉我制作如此美味的蛋糕的技巧吗？——哦，我只是按照食谱的
说明。此处trick 表示“技巧，诀窍，窍门”。前三项分别表示“特点”、“计划”、“费
用”，都与下文的回答在逻辑上不符合。
27．C【解析】句意：在过去的一年里，Linda 作为交流生在香港度过，（这使她）看起来比
那些同龄人成熟多了。Linda 与spend 之间是主动关系，再结合句中的时间段状语the
past year 可知，用动词现在分词的完成式。
28．B【解析】本句的前半句提到此地的气候非常宜人，由此可知“即使曾经发生过( if ever)”，
夏天达到30 度的情况也很少出现。A 项表示“要不”，C 项表示“如果有”，D 项表示
“如果这样”。
29．C【解析】句意：是文化，而不是语言，让他难以适应陌生的国外环境。本句是强调句
型，被强调部分是主语the culture。
30．A【解析】句意：对那些家人远在他乡的人来说，个人电脑和电话在保持联系时很重要。
此处的stay 是系动词，those 与connect 之间是被动关系。
31．D【解析】句意：学生应该参与社区活动，在那里他们能够获得成长的经验。where they
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
can gain experience for growth 是定语从句，修饰先行词community activities。
32．A【解析】句意：如果没有现代化的电讯，我们将不得不等待几周才能收到来自世界各
地的消息。本句是对现在情况的虚拟，正常语序是If there were no modern
telecommunications。本句将if 去掉，were 提前。
33．B【解析】句意：作为一名草根歌手，她阅读能够得到的与音乐有关的一切，并利用每
一次机会提升自己。get hold of 表示“抓住”。A 项表示“看到”，C 项表示“负责”，
D 项表示“提及”。
34．B【解析】what you're afraid to do 是宾语从句，what 在从句中作doing 的宾语。
35．A【解析】根据答语的第二句可知答话人是在安慰对方，因为这样的人大有人在，不只
是对方一个人是这种情况。后三项分别表示“很难说”、
“恐怕不是这样”、
“取决于你”，
均不符合语境。
【解题导语】一年一度的钢琴独奏会让作者胆战心惊，却又无可奈何。想不到，年近古
稀的父亲的生平第一次表演竟然如此成功！有些话，似乎是老生常谈，只不过，你做
到了吗？
36．C 上一句提到作者对每年一次的钢琴独奏会感到非常恐惧，由此可知这“意味着”作者
不得不练习一支枯燥的曲子并且在陌生人面前表演。
37．A 根据本段第一句中的内容可知作者每年都“会”问自己的父亲能否不参加钢琴独奏会，
仅此一次，下不为例。
38．D 作者的父亲每年都会摇头，嘀咕建立自信之类的东西。此处表示的是肯定含义，
something 意为“某物，某东西”。
39．A 根据本句中的“building self-confidence”可知作者的父亲鼓励作者要为一个“目标”
努力奋斗。
40．B 文章第一段提到作者非常害怕钢琴独奏会，总是想着逃避，但从未幸免，而父亲嘀咕
的千篇一律的内容让作者颇为不满。如今，作者的父亲参加钢琴独奏会，作者自然幸
灾乐祸，十分“高兴”，更何况手中还有录像机。
41．C 作者此时一心一意地想看父亲出洋相，自然会“注意”他的一举一动，发现年近古稀
的父亲穿着衬衣还在出汗。
42．D 根据第47 空前面的“For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard”可知，
作者的父亲此时还没有开始演奏，所以他出汗是站起身来“之前”的表现。
43．B 根据本句后半句中的内容可知他的家庭非常贫困，不能“负担得起”钢琴课的费用。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
44．A 上一句提到他从童年时就渴望演奏音乐，可是家境贫寒，由此可知他本可以继续为此
遗憾，“正如”我们中太多的人所做的那样。
45．C 根据下一句中的内容可知虽然过去不可改变，但是他并没有止步不前。此处stick 表
示“卡住，陷入”。
46．D 第42 空后面提到他将要在首次的独奏会中弹奏钢琴，由此可知他退休后“说服”了
对方收他为学生。
47．B 根据下文中作者的担心可知作者的父亲“只是”盯着自己的手指，而不是像作者一样
同时还要考虑其他的事情。
48．C 作者的父亲马上就要开始演奏，可他关注的是自己的手指．作者担心他是否忘记了“音
符”。
49．A 根据第54 空后面的“I said to my son Jeff”可知作者如今已经是成年人，由此可知那
个尴尬的时刻发生在“几十年”之前。此外，文章最后一段中的“those 30-plus years
ago”也是线索提示。
50．B 当时，有几秒钟作者的大脑一片空白，由此可知作者的手指“僵住”了，不知如何是
好。
51．A 本句的前半句提到传来了优美的旋律，再结合后半句中的内容可知这一切都出自曾经
给我的钓鱼线装饵的“相同的”手指。
52．B 根据空格处后面的内容可知作者“意识到”他的父亲一直在做音乐老师总是强调的内
容。
53．D 根据“pretend the others aren't there”可知要把精力“集中”在音乐上，旁若无人。
54．D 根据第50 空后面的“But then came the beautiful melody(旋律)”可知作者父亲的表演
很成功，所以作者为他感到“骄傲”。
55．C 作者的父亲弹奏出了优美的旋律，作者感到非常自豪，再结合本句中的“Yeah”可知
作者的儿子也深有同感，认为演奏得很“好”。
【解题导语】 一对陌生的老年夫妇，一束美丽的鲜花，一颗纯真的童心，一幅温馨的
画面。
56．D【解析】举手之劳的一枝花竟然让对方无比感激，作者显然意在告诉我们小小的善意
也能带来巨大的快乐。前三项分别表示“人越小心越好”、“事实胜于雄辩”、“爱始于
微笑”。
57．B【解析】根据第三段中的“I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea”可知，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
他提出的买花的主意赢得了作者的支持。
58．C【解析】根据本句后半部分中的内容可推测作者的儿子看到血和医疗设备后非常“害
怕”。另外，下一句中的内容也是他害怕的表现。
59．A【解析】文章最后凸显的是花的力量，所以此项最能概括文章大意。其余选项过于笼
统，不具有针对性。
【解题导语】 迪斯尼创作的米老鼠和唐老鸭早已家喻户晓，不过，灰姑娘的最初版本
和现在大不相同。
60．B【解析】根据上一句中的内容可知“灰姑娘”和“白雪公主”都是其他深受喜爱的人
物的代表，所以They 指的是Other well-loved characters。
61．C【解析】第三段中提到她们总是把她的食物扔到灰烬中，并且让她睡在地上的灰烬中，
她的名字由此而来，由此可推断灰姑娘这个名字源于“灰”。
62．D【解析】结合鸟说给王子的话以及倒数第二段开头部分中的内容可知鸟告诉了王子他
被骗的事情。
63．A【解析】根据倒数第二段故事的结尾内容可知邪恶的人终究逃不过惩罚。
64．A【解析】根据最后一段最后一句中的内容可知作者认为迪斯尼版本非常“出色”。
【解题导语】 一名小女孩只能靠定期输血维持生命，希望爱心人士捐献骨髓，奉献生
命的礼物。
65．B【解析】根据文章中的“As a result，Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions（输
血）every4 -6 weeks since she was 11 months old．A lifetime of regular transfusions．．．”
可知她需要定期输血。
66．C【解析】根据对骨髓捐献者的要求中的“be 18 t0 44 years old”可知捐献者的最低年龄
是18 岁。
67．B【解析】 根据文章中的“Visit www.ribc.org to make an appointment”可知有意者可
以访问该网站进行预约。
【解题导语】 衡量幸福的不是物质财富的多少，真正的幸福来自精神的富足。你需要
不断积累的不是更多的金钱，而是生命之屋的房间。
译文：很奇怪，如果你不满意，问题不是你缺乏实现愿望的方法，而是缺乏愿望——不
是你不能满足你的品位，而是你没有足够的品位。
68．D【解析】根据第二段第一句可知，作者认为真正的幸福来源于精神财富。此外，第四
段第二句中的内容也是线索提示。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
69．B【解析】根据画线句的前两句中提到的大多数人已经被淹没在物质财富中和本句后半
句中的转折连词yet 可推断，不管他们物质上多么富有，他们精神上依旧贫穷。
70．C【解析】文章第五段中提到文学能让你放松，使你精神焕发，富人不是拥有图书馆的
人，而是喜欢图书馆的人，此处的富有是精神层面的，由此可推断文学能够丰富一个
人的精神生活。
71．A【解析】本文强调的是精神追求，且文中多处出现了关键词house of life（生命之屋），
所以A 项最能概括文章大意。
【解题导语】风力发电场之争愈演愈烈，各执已见，互不相让，政府中的两个政党也存
在分歧。正所谓“当局者迷，旁观者清”，让民众依据事实自己决断，也许是最好的
解决之道。
译文：那些不同意快速发展风力发电场的人说它们造成的危害与它们带来的益处不成比
例，因为它们的电能输出比不上它们理应取代的以碳为原料的发电站的电能输出。
72．A【解析】第一段第一句的后半句提到几乎没有什么问题能比能源政策引起更大的关注，
由此可推断能源政策引起了公众的广泛关注。
73．D【解析】根据第二段最后一句中的内容可知支持者认为发展风能与欧盟的无碳能源目
标一致。
74．B【解析】根据第三段中第一句可知政府中的两个政党之间就风力发电场问题存在分歧。
75．C【解析】结合倒数第二段第一句中的内容以及最后一段第二句中的内容可知作者的观
点是让民众就风能的实际情况作出判断。
【解题导语】 我们国家历来提倡勤俭节约，因此我们要从自身做起，从点滴做起，这
是为了我们的世界，也是为了我们的子孙后代。
76．however 考查副词。虽然很多人被教导不要浪费，”然而”，没有人能够完全在生活中避
免浪费。
77． resources 考查名词。根据括号中的汉语提示写出该词，注意用复数形式。natural
resources“自然资源”。
78．difference 考查短语。make a difference 是固定短语，意为“有影响，起作用”。
79．best 考查最高级。我们在内心中知道我们正在尽力而为，这是一种美好的感觉。do one's
best 表示“尽某人最大的努力”。
80． saving 考查非谓语动词。on 是介词，后跟动名词作宾语，再结合括号中的汉语提示可
知用saving。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
81． in 考查介词。“play a part in．．．”表示“在……中起作用”，为固定短语。
82． ourselves 考查代词。此处缺少宾语部分，再结合本句的主语We 及汉语提示可知主语
和宾语指代相同，所以宾语用反身代词ourselves。
83． than 考查连词。根据句中的easier 可知缺少比较连词than。
84． done 考查非谓语动词。“do damage to…”表示“对……造成危害”，damage 与do 之
间是动宾关系，故用动词的-ed 形式。
85． say 考查动词。to 是动词不定式符号，后面需要跟动词原形。
“say no to．．．”表示“对……
说不，拒绝……”。
【范文】
This quotation from Winston Churchill tells us that we shouldn't get discouraged right after
failures． Rather, we should keep trying with enthusiasm． Success consists in the ability to
continue efforts through failures．
At the age of twelve, I got a nice bike as a birthday gift． So excited was I that I couldn't wait
to try my hand at riding it． However, it was harder than expected． The bike seemed too heavy
and difficult to control． Worse still, I took many falls off the bike． I was about to give up when
my father came and encouraged me to keep going． With more practice, I did better and
better． Looking back, I feel I wouldn't be able to ride a bike had I lost heart．
Actually, we can't succeed in everything we try． What's important is that we should stick at
it．

Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have
1 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them.
According to a recent research, the most common 2 between parents and
teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand,
parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their
children’s refusal to help with the 4 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their
patience continually when parents blame them for 5 the towel in the
bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the
supermarket.
The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents
have different 6 to these problems. However, some approaches are more
7 than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their
untidiness, but 8 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing
their children’s 9 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the
10 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help
their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they
are forced to 11 their actions.
Psychologists say that 12 is the most important thing in parent-child
relationships. Parents should 13 to their children but at the same time they
should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may 14 their children
when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own
private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and

卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never
studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians
such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a
piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head.
Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He
surprised everyone around him.
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it
perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable .They say his ability is very rare, but
Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to
become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he
should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.
Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music.
My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I
suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and
without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear
them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.
Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The
piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing
performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional
pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super memory---I guess I
have that gift.”
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His
family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story,
and then he could retell the story word for word.
Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the
future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收
费站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile,
handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”
It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s
refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase
impressed her so much that she copied it down.
Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from
home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back
to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to
writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband,
Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his
students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter.
Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know
where it came from or what it really meant.
Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It
was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after
turning it around in her mind for days.
“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it
randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving
hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a
proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”
The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found
your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone
else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be
yours!
31．Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?
A. She knew the car drivers well.
B. She wanted to show kindness.
C. She hoped to please others.
D. She had seven tickets.
32．Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she.
A. thought it was beautifully written
B. wanted to know what it really meant
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall
D. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom
33．Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?
A. Judy Foreman.
B. Natalie Smith.
C. Alice Johnson.
D. Anne Herbert.
34．Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence
above?
A. Kindness and violence can change the world.
B. Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior.
C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.
D. Kindness and violence can shape one’s character.
35．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.
B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.
C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.
D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.

Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no
real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had
not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in
the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about
the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I
could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard
work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In
short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither
did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the
paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations,
I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several
months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea.
But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and
desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor,
they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked
to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year
or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from
my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so
strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local
language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project
had changed my life forever.

Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流) . Most
do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis
Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way --- by studying movements of random floating
garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in
the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the
shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that
people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or
wear.
Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total
— fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked
if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't.
Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where
the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot
about the patterns of ocean currents.
The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜
寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious
beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their
help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected
reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to
test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and
publish the findings of their study.
As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call
with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even
started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from
potatoes to golf gloves.
41．The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. fitting rooms
B. trading fairs
C. business talks
D. group meetings
42．Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _____________.
A. what caused the shipping accident
B. when and where the shoes went missing
C. whether it was all right to use their shoes
D. how much they lost in the shipping accident
43．How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?
A. By collecting information from beachcombers.
B. By studying the shoes found by beachcombers.
C. By searching the Web for ocean currents models.
D. By researching ocean currents data in the library.
44．Ebbesmeyer is most famous for .
A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the world
B. making records for any lost objects on the sea
C. running a global currents research association
D. phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea
45．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A. To call people's attention to ocean pollution.
B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.
C. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.
D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.

Oseola McCarty spent more than 75 years washing and ironing other people’s
clothes. As a laundrywoman, she was paid only a few dollars each time. Certainly
nobody would consider her rich, so they were all amazed when Miss McCarty
decided to donate $ 150,000 to the University of Southern Mississippi.
The money was in fact her life savings. She could save such a large amount of
money because she lived a very simple life. She never learned to drive, and when she
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
wanted to go somewhere, she just walked. She never flew to anywhere till the
donation（捐助），and in 50 years she had been out of the South only once. The
house in which she lived was also a rather modest one her last uncle left her. Only
after she became known in America did she begin to travel all over the country. Since
then, she had been the subject of many interviews and articles and was even invited
to the White House.
Her donation was for students who clearly needed financial help. She herself
left school in the sixth grade and had never married or had children. She said to the
reporters that the idea of helping somebody’s child go to college gave her much
pleasure.

with them”可知，父母和孩子均表示住在一起不容易，所以双方的感觉是相似的，可
知此处选D。其余选项不符合语境。
2．B 下文提到“parents go mad” ”teenagers lose their patience”表明此处表示父母和孩子之间
的争论（argument）。
3．C 前一句提到untidiness，再根据空后的“clothes thrown on the floor”可知，此处应用messy。
4．B 根据上文中的“daily routine tasks”可知，此处应用housework 与之对应。
5．C 当父母不断地责备孩子们在浴室乱扔毛巾，不打扫房间，不去超市购物时，孩子们会

可知此处选A。
7．D 下文列举了两个例子，第一个例子中父母的做法改变孩子们的习惯的可能性很小，另
外一个例子中，父母会迫使孩子们改变，所以，有些方法是更成功的。
8．A 那些开始因孩子们的不整洁大嚷大叫，随后又为孩子们整理房间的父母，改变孩子们
的行为的可能性是很小的。
9．A 参见上题解析。
10．C 那些让孩子们体验行为后果的父母会做得更好。根据下句的例子，可知答案为C。
11．D 孩子们不去帮忙购物，结果就是在冰箱里找不到自己喜欢喝的饮料，因此他们不得不
重新考虑他们的行为了。

此处指交谈和聆听。
14．B 根据下文中的“but they should also understand”以及上文中的“when parents blame them
for”可知，此处应用scold。

困难，最后由酒店经理出面，给他们圆满解决问题的故事。
16． it 考查代词。根据句意可知，此处指代上文提到的旅游目的地迈阿密 ( Miami)。
17． earlier 考查形容词比较级。根据语境可知，此处应用earlier 表示“提早，提前”。
18． were told 考查动词的时态和语态。句中that 引导的从句是宾语从句，故空处要填入的
应该是谓语动词，根据上文的内容，到达后我们应该是“被告诉”我们的房间没有订好，
故应填一般过去时的被动语态were told。
19． but 考查并列连词。我们订的不是那一周的房间，而是那周之后的房间，此处表示转
折关系，故填入连词but。
20． why 考查宾语从句。根据语境，此处应由why 引导宾语从句。
21． for 考查介词。固定搭配charge sb． for sth．“向某人索取……的费用”。此处表示我们
被收取了（住酒店的）费用。
22． surprisingly 考查词性转换。本空后的helpful 是形容词，修饰形容词应用副词。
23． the 考查冠词。top 表示“顶端，顶部”，top floor 前应用定冠词the。
24． where 考查定语从句。分析句子成分可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词beach，并
在从句中作状语，故用关系副词where。
25． sunburnt/sunburned 考查词性转换。我们有点儿晒伤了。sunburnt/sunburned 在此处
是形容词作表语，表示“晒伤的”。
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了具有超凡记忆力的钢琴奇才Samuel，他从

he hears them”可知答案。
27．B【解析】根据第二段中的“Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his
parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead”可知，学习音乐并非
他的本意，最初是想听从父母之命做一名律师的。
28．C【解析】根据第三段中的“Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised”以及“I
suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without
having any lessons”可知选择C。其他选项均不合题意。

that gift’”足以说明Samuel 对自己的超凡记忆力很自信，也很自豪。故选B。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
30．B【解析】虽然倒数第二段提到Samuel 小时候就可以一字不漏地复述故事，但全文主要
还是有关Samuel 音乐天赋的描述和介绍，不难看出答案是B。

把它登在了报纸上。唯有Anne Herbert 在“turning it around in her mind for days”之后，
领悟到了那句话，即“Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty”的真正含义，
中文意思为“行善施美随时随意可为”。故选D 项。
34．C【解析】根据上下文可知，句中的“build on itself”相当于reproduce，是“重现，复制，
再生”的意思。故选C 项。
35．B【解析】根据尾段首句“The acts of random kindness spread”（偶然为之的善举是可以传
播开来的）可知选B。
【解题导语】 本文是记叙文，讲述了作者大学毕业后，经过犹豫后，选择参加

prepared me for anything practical”可知，作者所接受的英国文学未能让他学到实用的
知识，他的大学更关注的是理论性知识。故选A。
37．A【解析】根据第二段尾句“Neither did my family”可推知作者与家人讨论过自己的决定。
38．D【解析】根据第三段第二句中的“countless interviews and presentations”可知，作者在

断出“swap meets”应该是“市集”，选项中的“trading fairs”有“交易会”之意，故选B。
42．C【解析】根据文章第二段第二句“He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted
the shoes back”可知他打电话的目的是问公司是否要这些鞋子。结合下文中的
“Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment．If he learned when and where the
shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the
patterns of ocean currents”可知，Ebbesmeyer 是想用这些鞋子，故选C。

shoes landed”以及“With this data, he and his colleague were able to test and improve．．．”
可知选项A 正确。

When our restaurant business failed, we headed north in a camping truck to

At the 31 of Palo Duro Canyon (峡谷) State Park, I 32 a job

guests and the rangers (护林人)． It was the perfect solution: a rent-free place to
reorganize our lives． We entered the park and I made an 35 for the following

The park was 36 , so it took us some time to find an available site． That

出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Before I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities． I
learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster． Coming
up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more
extreme． I found something that worked, though．
There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally
very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him． One day the boy
joined a session in the room next to mine． His appearance created an atmosphere
of tension． He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and
destroying property．
I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker
told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the
situation． As we were talking, the boy ran in． I told my co-worker that I would take
care of him．
I closed the door． He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a
huge mess． But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me． He needed
connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it． So I sat back down
and kept quiet． Then he slowed down and began making a rocket． I talked to him
about it． We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the
conversation:
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
“So what happened today?”
It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone． I believe that if I had
criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed． He
told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked
him to do what he disliked． He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run
around and saw it as a game． I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game
and was very upset． This again was stated simply as a fact． I suggested that next
time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might
be easier for everyone． He agreed and was quiet for a moment． Then he looked at
me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to
apologize．
51．The boy made trouble for his teacher because he ______．
A． was accused of destroying property
B． was told not to yell at other children
C． was made to do things against his will
D． was blamed for creating an air of tension
52．Why didn’t the author do anything about the boy’s bad behavior at first?
A． She didn’t want to make it worse．
B． She didn’t mind the huge mess at all．
C． She was tired of shouting and threats．
D． She hadn’t thought of a coping strategy．
53．The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by ______．
A． playing games with him
B． giving him a good suggestion
C． describing his teacher’s feelings
D． avoiding making critical remarks
54．Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?
A． He was sorry about his reputation．
B． He was regretful about his behavior．
C． He was fearful of the author’s warning．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D． He was sad for the author’s misunderstanding．
B
London’s newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the Shard and it cost about 430
million pounds to build． At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in
Europe． The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London．However,
not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better．
The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano． When he
began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked
like a spire (尖顶)． He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city． The
sides of the building aren’t regular． So the building has an unusual shape． It looks
like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass． And that is how the building got the
name: the Shard． Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great
London tradition． The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or
the tall masts (桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames．
The Shard has 87 floors． At the top, there is an observatory． At the moment
the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel． There will also
be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices．
Before building work began, a lot of people didn’t want the Shard though the
plans were approved． Now they are still unhappy about the Shard． Some critics say
that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in
London． They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape． But that is
the only thing． There is no decoration, only flat surfaces． The Egyptians did that
4,500 years ago． They also think the Shard is too big for London． It destroys the
beauty of the city．
Other critics don’t like what the Shard seems to represent． They say that the
Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal． Only very rich people can
afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel． But the people
who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London． So the Shard seems a
symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The Shard now dominates the London skyline． It is not certain, however, that
ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city．
55．London’s newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of ______．
A．its cost B．its size C．its shape D．its height
56．When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to ______．
A． change London’s skyline
B． inherit London’s tradition
C． imitate the Egyptian style
D． attract potential visitors
57．The critics who refer to social division think the Shard ______．
A． is only preferred by the rich
B． is intended for wealthy people
C． is far away from the poor area
D． is popular only with Londoners
58． Which would be the best title for the passage?
A． The Shard: Cheers and Claps
B． The Shard: Work of a Great Architect
C． The Shard: New Symbol of London?
D． The Shard: A Change for the Better?
C
Working with a group of baboons (狒狒) in the Namibian desert, Dr．Alecia
Carter of the Department of Zoology, Cambridge University set baboons learning
tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box． Some baboons
were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the
task, while others had to learn for themselves． To work out how brave or anxious
the baboons were, Dr． Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in
the form of a model of a poisonous snake．
She found that personality had a major impact on learning． The braver
baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones
did． In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do
what the experienced baboon did．
The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones． The
anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed
did not, even though they spent more time watching．
This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that
personality plays a key role in social learning in animals, something that has
previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things． The findings
are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive (认
知的) tasks not because they aren’t clever enough to solve them, but because they
are too shy or nervous to use the social information．
The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in
societies through social learning． If some individuals are unable to get information
from others because they don’t associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or
they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel
between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social
learning．
59．What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A． The design of Dr．Carter’s research．
B． The results of Dr．Carter’s research．
C． The purpose of Dr．Carter’s research．
D． The significance of Dr．Carter’s research．
60．According to the research, which baboons are more likely to complete a new
learning task?
A． Those that have more experience．
B． Those that can avoid potential risks．
C． Those that like to work independently．
D． Those that feel anxious about learning．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
61．Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A． Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning．
B． Some baboons are shy but active in social activities．
C． Some baboons observe others but don’t follow them．
D． Some baboons perform new tasks but don’t concentrate．
62． Dr． Carter’s findings indicate that our culture might be formed through ______．
A． storing information
B． learning from each other
C． understanding different people
D． travelling between social groups

You’ve flown halfway around the world; you’ve sniffed out this place that
nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of; so what on earth is
there to do here? You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach
chair that holds you above the sand．
It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee． By the time you found the bus
station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from
Falongland．
Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from
Bangkok, down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand． Not many tourists find this
place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along．
There’s an apparent laziness that surrounds you here． It’s what this place
offers, and it’s free of charge． The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow
everything down． You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long
rest． You sit there and watch the sea．
It’s early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you’d like to eat this
evening． Before long he’s rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for
whatever it was that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order． No menu here．
There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue
sea． There’s no street noise． The only sounds are the murmurs of nature．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
For now you just count your blessings (福祉), listing them in the sand with your
toe (脚趾)． You don’t have to worry about being late for work． You don’t have to
do anything．
The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线), slowly narrowing
to nothingness only to re-emerge again on your left, now steadily widening until it
covers the chair beneath you． Sand to your left and sand to your right; it’s
unbroken, endless． No start, no end, just sand, sun, and peace． Step off it, and you
re-enter the world of traffic, stress, work, and hurry．
Normally you’re the type who can’t sit still for more than ten minutes, but
you’re on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all
the way around the world．
“How could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder．
63．When the author first went to Huaplee Beach, ______．
A．he found it unworthwhile
B．he failed to sort himself out
C．he became sensitive to smell
D he had difficulty in finding it
64．What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach?
A．No menu．
B．Free food．
C．Self service．
D．Quick delivery．
65．In the author’s opinion, a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he ______．
A．sits in a beach chair
B．forgets his daily routine
C．plans a detailed schedule
D．draws pictures in the sand
66．What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage?
A．He shouldn’t have counted his blessings．
B．He should have understood the wonder of nature．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．He shouldn’t have spent so much time on the trip．
D．He should have come to the place earlier．

For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires
none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even
bicycles． Dr． Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts
who consider this a misunderstanding． Without the elevator, they point out, there
could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would
be impossible． In that sense, they argue, the elevator’s role in American history has
been no less significant than that of cars． In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the
elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it
possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地), and elevators pushing them
toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的) columns．
If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in
them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience—one that can
involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and
an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long
passage．
In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas
Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator
and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never
been a totally comfortable experience． “After 150 years, we are still not used to it,”
Bernard said． “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of
closeness and displeasure．” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator
ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about
our lives．
Today, as the world’s urban population explodes, and cities become more
crowded, taller, and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation
Industry”—are a force that’s becoming more important than ever． And for the
people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously
at just what kind of force they are．
67．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A． The general view of elevators．
B． The particular interests of experts．
C． The desire for a remarkable machine．
D． The enthusiasm for transport vehicles．
68．The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is ______．
A． to contrast their functions with elevators’
B． to emphasize the importance of elevators
C． to reveal their secret war against elevators
D． to explain people’s preference for elevators
69．According to Prof． Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from
other life experiences?
A． Vertical direction．
B． Lack of excitement．
C． Little physical space．
D． Uncomfortable conditions．
70．The author urges readers to consider ______．
A． the exact number of elevator lovers
B． the serious future situation of elevators
C． the role of elevators in city development
D． the relationship between cars and elevators

【解题导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者的餐馆倒闭了，于是一家人坐着卡车去寻找新的出
路，他们在一个国家公园谋得一份差事，日子虽然很苦，但这却增加了家庭的凝聚力。
31．D 根据下文中的“We entered the park”可知，作者在这个国家公园的入口处看到招聘
广告，因此选D 表示“人口（处）”。
32．C 作者在这里注意到招聘广告，而不是作者“赞助、出版、回答”广告，因此选C。
33．B 这里说的是招聘广告提出的招聘待遇，因此选B 表示“不收费的”。
34．A 空前说雇主给这个职位的待遇，空后说公园管理员的职责是在来公园的游客和护林人
之间建立纽带关系，由此判断选A 表示“作为（对……的）回报”。
35．D 根据第四段最后两句可知，作者与雇主约定（made an appointment）第二天去应聘。
36．A 根据空后的“so it took us some time to find an available site”可知，公园里人很多，因
此选A 表示“拥挤的”。
37．B 作者一家刚吃完晚饭，作者的妻子就看到两只大臭鼬朝他们的饭桌走来，他们就马上
爬到桌子上。因此选B 表示“立即，马上”。
38．B 结合语境可知，作者一家爬到桌子上是为了等这两只大臭鼬离开。
39．C 那天晚上一切安然无事，于是作者一家相信其他方面也没问题，因此选C 表示“自信
的”。
40．A 这里说的是雇主告诉作者一家要做的事，因此选A 表示“职责，责任”。
41．D 语境表明此处表示转折，上文说作者一家在公园的第一夜和第二天找工作都很顺利，
下文说到这里恶劣的环境，因此选D 表示转折关系。
42．A 根据下文中的“They were strong．the winds died away”可知选A，表示峡谷里的狂风。
43．A 根据语境判断选A，用shaking 表示“摇动，（使）颤动”。作者一家人在车上躺着，
人随着卡车在晃动。
44．C 这里表示在那次狂风之后的几个星期。During 表示“在……期间”。
45．C 作者一家人学会了在卡车上求生存，并且学会了就靠他妻子代课赚的一点儿钱过日子。
live on 表示“靠（……钱）生活”。

47．C 结合下文中的“I might lose my family”“We had become a family”可知，family 是本文
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
的主题，因此选C 表示“家庭”。
48．B 根据文章开头的“our restaurant business failed”可知，这里说的是作者的生意失败后
的那段时间。
49．A 上文提到作者一家人就在这个公园里，住在自家的卡车上，下文说他们读书、交谈，
因此选A，这些都是在卡车上发生的事情。
50．D 作者此时感激所有的磨难，这增强了家庭的凝聚力。
【解题导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己给残疾儿童上课的一个小故事：面对故
意在工艺室里捣蛋的男孩，作者任由其发泄，然后打开了男孩的心扉，让男孩意识到了自己
的错误行为。
51．C【解析】最后一段交代了这个男孩故意捣蛋的原因—“the teacher didn't let him do what
he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked”，这与C 项的陈述是一致
的。因此选C。
52．A【解析】根据第四段内容可知，面对这个男孩的捣蛋，作者没有生气，作者了解到这
个男孩是想故意气老师，他需要沟通；由最后一段可知，如果作者批评了他，正在敞
开的大门就会被牢牢地关上。由此推断选A，作者明白其中原因，不想使情况更糟糕。
53．D【解析】根据最后一段中的“It was purely a question，no blame or anger in my tone”
和“This again was stated simply as a fact”可推知应选D。
54．B【解析】文章最后一句说，男孩眼中含着泪水要去向他的老师道歉，由此推断，他意
识到了自己的错误并为之后悔，因此选B。
【解题导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了英国伦敦的地标性建筑：310 米高的欧洲第一高
楼“碎片大厦”。有人说这栋摩天大楼使伦敦看起来更漂亮，但对这一建筑的批评也一直未
曾停息。
55．C【解析】第二段解释这座大楼的名字的由来：因为其外形像一块很薄很锋利的破玻璃
(a very thin，sharp piece of broken glass)，因此选C。
56．B【解析】第二段谈到设计师的想法：因为这座大楼的尖顶外形是伦敦传统的一部分( part
of a great London tradition)，因此选B。
57．B【解析】第五段说有些批评家不喜欢碎片大厦所代表的意义，他们认为只有非常有钱
的人才能住进那里，而这座大厦所在地却是穷人区，因此他们说碎片大厦是社会贫富
等级分界的一个标志。由此可知选B。
58．D【解析】全文介绍的是英国伦敦的欧洲第一高楼“碎片大厦”。文章开头说这座摩天
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
大楼的修建改变了伦敦的外观，后面说到人们对这座摩天大楼的批评意见，文章的最
后一段也点明了主题，因此D 项能概括本文的内容。
【解题导语】 这是一篇科普性说明文。剑桥大学的研究人员通过对狒狒的研究发现，
影响狒狒学习的因素不是它们是否聪明，而是其性格。这一研究表明，人类社会也是如此，
如果我们不善于与他人沟通，那么我们就很难形成一种以社会学习为基础的文化。
59．A【解析】第一段介绍了研究人员开展这一研究的具体细节，把新奇的食物和熟悉的食
物放在一个盒子里，有些狒狒有机会看另外一个狒狒是如何解决问题的，而另外一些
狒狒则只能自己去寻找食物，因此选A。
60．D【解析】从文章对该实验的描述“The braver baboons learnt，but the shy ones did not learn”
“The anxious individuals learnt．．while those who were relaxed did not”可知，D 项描
述正确，因此选D。
61．C【解析】文章第二、三段说在观看了别的狒狒之后，一些狒狒学到了本领，而另一些
狒狒虽然观看了却没有和别的狒狒一样去做，由此推断选C：有些狒狒看了别的狒狒
寻觅食物的过程，但却没有去做。
62．B【解析】由第五段中的“If some individuals are unable to get information from others…”
可知选B。
【解题导语】本文介绍了泰国一个静谧的海滩。在这里，你可以享受沙滩、阳光和宁静；
在这里，你可以忘掉职场上的疲惫。
63．D【解析】根据文章中的“flown halfway around the world”“a long journey from Bangkok
to Huaplee”及“it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland”可知，选D。
64．A【解析】第五段说到作者在这里就餐的情况：你说要吃什么，厨师就去市场买，没有
现成的菜单，一切都是新鲜的，按要求定做的，因此选A。
65．B【解析】第七段说，来到这个海滩，用脚趾在海滩上把自己的那些福祉列出来，你不
必担心上班迟到，你什么都不用干，这与B 项描述是一致的，即：忘掉你的日常生活。
66．D【解析】通读文章内容可知，作者在文章结尾说“我怎么花了那么长时间才找到这里
呢？”不是表达“他不该数自己的福祉”、“他应该早点了解大自然的神奇”或者“他
不该在路途上花太多时间”的意思。而表达的意思是D，即“他应该早点来这里”。
【解题导语】这是一篇议论文，作者围绕电梯发表自己的感慨。
67．A【解析】从语境看，这里代词this 指前面提到的大多数城里人对电梯的态度。因此选
A。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
68．B【解析】第一段最后说，电梯和汽车，一个让我们能够水平方向移动，一个让我们在
垂直面上升，显然作者提到汽车的目的是“强调电梯的重要性”，故选B。
69．C【解析】第三段Bernard 谈到人们对电梯的感觉，说哪怕用了150 年，我们还是不习
惯电梯，因为这里混合着closeness and displeasure，C 项Little physical space 与此处的
closeness 是一致的，因此选C。
70．C【解析】最后一段作者谈到城市人口激增，城市变得越来越拥挤，电梯数量也越来越
多，我们是时候认真考虑一下电梯的影响力了，因此选C，即我们要考虑一下电梯在
城市发展中的作用。
71．(in order) to save money; so as to save money 考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知，所填
内容在句中作目的状语，而且放在句尾，用in order to、so as to 或直接用不定式作目
的状语。
72． has accumulated 考查动词的时态。句中的So far 表明本空应该用现在完成时，表示延
续到现在的情况。
73． it might/may be helpful 考查句子结构。分析题干可以看出，不定式是句子真正的主
语，因此这里用it 作形式主语，“也许有助于”用“might/may be helpful”表示。
74． whoever provides/has provided 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可以看出，本空在句中
作reward 的宾语，故用whoever 引导宾语从句并在从句中作主语；根据句意可知，可
用一般现在时或现在完成时。
75． that has been selected 考查定语从句。从句子结构看，所填内容在句中作定语。首先根
据先行词“the only student”可确定用关系代词that 引导这个定语从句；根据句意可
知，select 这一动作发生在过去且对现在造成了影响，故用现在完成时；又因student
与select 之间是被动关系，故用现在完成时的被动语态。
76．such a great impact；as great an impact 考查形容词比较句式。根据提示信息，这个否定
句中用形容词原级比较结构，而形容词“重要的”后面还有名词impact，用have an
impact on 表示“对……有影响”，结合这里否定句(No other)和名词前的冠词，用“as+
形容词+冠词+单数名词+as”，或者用“such+冠词+形容词+单数名词+as”。
77．shouldn't have interrupted；oughtn't to have interrupted 考查虚拟语气。语境表示“本
不该做却做了某事”，用shouldn’t/oughtn't to have done sth．。
78． most widely read 考查比较句式和非谓语动词。本空在句中作定语修饰book，read 与
中心词是逻辑上的动宾关系，表被动和完成，用过去分词作定语。“阅读最广泛的”用
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
“the most widely read”表示。
79．There stand 考查倒装。题干部分是句子的主语，这个主语很长，而谓语是不及物动词，
此时为保持句子结构的平衡而将表方位的副词放在句首，用完全倒装结构。
80．before I could take in；before I took in 考查状语从句。从句子结构看，这里使用了“It be+
时间段+before 引导的状语从句”表示“多长时间之后发生某事，在发生某事之前有多
久”。

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
“Learn to iron a shirt,” Mom said, “and you can iron anything．”
But ironing shirts was not 39 work． It didn’t make use of long muscles we used to

on a street that has a stop sign every 10 feet, Moreover，an iron produced steam and it carried an
element of 41 ．If you touched the wrong part of it, you’d get burnt． If you forgot to turn it

failures I suffer in my life, an ironed shirt tells me I am good at something． 46 ,through

In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that
doing any more than necessary was wasted effort． One day, this approach threw me into
embarrassment
In Mrs． Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we
were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数)．
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following
day． On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions．
Mrs． Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from
student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets． She
would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end．
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which
questions I might have to answer． This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three
problems according to my calculations．
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my
estimate． As Mrs． Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to
determine which math problem I would get． I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I
had brain freeze and couldn’t function．
When Mrs．Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I’d got for problem
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
No． 14．“I…I didn’t get anything,” I answered，and my face felt warm．
“Correct,” she said．
It turned out that the correct answer was zero．
What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework． Second, in real life it isn’t
always what you say but how you say it that matters． Third，I would never make it as a
mathematician．
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one．
61．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A． It is wise to value one’s time．
B． It is important to make an effort
C． It is right to stick to one’s belief．
D． It is enough to do the necessary．
62．Usually, Mrs．Totten asked her students to _______．
A．recite their homework together
B．grade their homework themselves
C．answer their homework questions orally
D．check the answers to their homework questions
63．The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______．
A． asked questions in a regular way
B． walked up and down when asking questions
C． chose two or three questions for the students
D． requested her students to finish their usual questions
64．The author failed to get the questions he had expected because _______．
A． the class didn’t begin as usual
B． several students didn’t come to school
C． he didn’t try hard to make his estimate
D． Mrs． Totten didn’t start from the back of the class
65．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A． An Unforgettable Teacher
B． A Future Mathematician
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C． An Effective Approach
D． A Valuable Lesson
C
The behaviour of a building’s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes
to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC)． The UK
promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放）by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be
achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016． But this report shows that sustainable
building design on its own — though extremely important- is not enough to achieve such
reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too．
The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely
ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率)，which instead focus on
architectural and technological developments．
‘Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,’explains Katy Janda, a
UKERC senior researcher，‘consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful
design．’In other words，old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home．
Another part of the problem is information． Households and bill-payers don’t have the
knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits． Without specific information，it’s hard
to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices． Feedback (反馈） facilities, like
smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see
how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that
households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters．
Social science research has added a further dimension (方面），suggesting that individuals’
behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted 一 whether people throw open
their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example．
Janda argues that education is the key． She calls for a focused programme to teach people
about buildings and their own behaviour in them．
66．As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of________．
A． zero-carbon homes B． the behaviour of building users
C． sustainable building design
D． the reduction of carbon emissions
67．The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to”________．”

69．The information gap in energy use _______．
A．can be bridged by feedback facilities

B． The education programme is under discussion．

Part IV Writing (45 marks)
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．
Many of us invest valuable time，energy and money planning our vacations． We do this
because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us． Research proves this
feeling without a doubt． Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality
and cushion us against depression．
Yet, despite these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was
OK - but not great． In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided． A classic one for
vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too
many components (组成部分)．Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list Sounds fine
in theory, but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what
psychologists call mindfulness - time to take in our new surroundings, time to be present and
absorb our travel experiences． Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues
such as how to find a good flight deal，how to get from A to B，or which destinations to add or
subtract from our journey． These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of
mind is far more important．
Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules． First, choose your travel
companions wisely, because nothing contributes more significantly to a trip than the right
companions． Second，don’t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too
expensive so as to maintain a positive mood． Third, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences
provide more long-term happiness than physical possessions．
Section B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the
information given in the passage．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Kids and Ponds
Years ago there was a group of kids who would hang around at some local ponds in the
woods near their houses in Warwick, Rhode Island． In summer they caught frogs and
fish． When winter arrived they couldn’t wait to go skating． Time passed, and the ponds
became the only open space for the kids to enjoy themselves in that neighborhood．
One day．a thirteen-year-old boy from this group of kids read in the local newspaper that a
developer wanted to fill in the ponds and build over a hundred small houses called
condominiums． So the boy went door to door and gathered more than two hundred signatures
(签名）to stop the development A group of citizens met and decided to support him．
At the meeting of the town planning board (委员会)，the boy was quite nervous at first and
spoke very softly． But when he saw the faces of his friends and neighbors in the crowd and
thought about what was happening to their favorite ponds，his voice grew louder． He told the
town officials that they should speak for the citizens． He also insisted that they should leave
enough space for children． A few days later，the developer stopped his plan．
Nine years later, when that teen was a senior in college, he was informed that the developer
was back with his proposal to build condominiums． Now twenty-two years old, he was studying
wetlands ecology． He again appeared before the town planning board． This time as an expert
witness, he used environmental protection laws to explain restrictions on development in and
around wetlands and the knowledge of wetlands ecology to help improve the
development． Finally some condominiums were built, but less than half the number the
developer wanted． The ponds where those kids used to hang around were protected by a strip
of natural land，and are still there today．
81．What did the kids like to do at the local ponds in winter?
(No more than 6 words) (2 marks)
82．How did the boy win the citizens’ support?

My Magic Shoes
As is known to us all, shoes play an important role in our life, for it can protect our feet from
being hurt. However, as a boy who has athlete's foot, I am looking forward to inventing a pair of
shoes helping my feet keep dry and me walk conveniently. Therefore, this new kind of shoes has
come into being recently.
To keep the feet dry and comfortable, this new kind of shoes is equipped with a micro-fan.
When you walk, a small machine changes the energy produced by walking into electric energy
and stores it. If you stop walking, the micro - fan can work immediately to dry your feet.
However, what amazes you most is the following new function. There is a special red button in
each of the shoes. If the road you are walking is flat, you can press the red button, which helps
your shoes change into a roller skate with two rollers appearing beneath your shoes, and you can
reach your destination quickly. On arriving at your destination, press the red button again and the
rollers will return to your shoes, so you can walk normally like others.
That's my magic shoes. Do you like it or would you like to have a try?

Never before had a Kitchen so much of a History
It tells of Freedom, Success, and of the Architecture of big
American cities.
Because that is where it started: in the second half of the 19th
century !
Welcome to a new Era of Kitchen Interior Design
Back then, a Generation of successful American Entrepreneurs dreamt of a new style of
Architecture to express their personal wealth. This dream was realized by young architects such
as Daniel Burnham and Stanford White. They all had studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
And they created a new style for Architecture and Interior Design, named after the famous
French Art Institute: Beaux-Arts.
SieMatic BeauxArts Breaks and Creates
In fact it was not a new style at all, but a composition of styles from different periods and
cultures. Many world-famous structures such as the Chicago Art. Institute and the Statue of
Liberty account for it. But what does that have to do with your kitchen? Just as much as you
want it to. Because in the same way that the anti-conventional architects back then took the
freedom to combine elements from different historical eras, today, you too can break the
conventional rules of style and create something new: your own personal composition of your
kitchen. For that, SieMatic BeauxArts offers unique opportunities: A broad range of seemingly
conflicting features that you combine to a harmonious design of your own. You can choose from
menu of various forms, appealing colors, and precious materials, to create an environment that is
much more than just a kitchen: a reflection of your personality.
56．Why did the BeauxArts style attract American entrepreneurs?
A．It helped display their money status．
B．It was created by famous architects．
C． It was named after a famous institute．
D． It represented the 19th century urban culture．
57．What is unique of SieMatic BeauxArts?
A． Its designs are anti-conventional．
B． Its designs come from famous structures．
C． Its customers can enjoy their own composition．
D． Its customers can choose from various new styles．
B
However wealthy we may be, we can never find enough hours in the day to do everything
we want． Economics deals with this problem through the concept of opportunity cost, which
simply refers to whether someone’s time or money could be better spent on something else．
Every hour of our time has a value． For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily
be doing another, or be sleeping or watching a film． Each of these options has a different
opportunity cost—namely, what they cost us in missed opportunities．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take you a
couple of hours to get to and from the stadium． Why not, you might reason, watch the game
from home and use the leftover money and time to have dinner with friends? This—the
alternative use of your cash and time—is the opportunity cost．
For economists, every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgo—in terms of
money and enjoyment—in order to take it up． By knowing precisely what you are receiving and
what you are missing out on, you ought to be able to make better-informed, more reasonable
decisions． Consider that most famous economic rule of all: there’s no such thing as a free
lunch． Even if someone offers to take you out to lunch for free, the time you will spend in the
restaurant still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities．
Some people find the idea of opportunity cost extremely discouraging: imagine spending
your entire life calculating whether your time would be better spent elsewhere doing something
more profitable or enjoyable． Yet, in a sense it’s human nature to do precisely that—we assess
the advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time．
In the business world, a popular phrase is “value for money．” People want their cash to go
as far as possible． However, another is fast obtaining an advantage: “value for time．” The
biggest restriction on our resources is the number of hours we can devote to something, so we
look to maximize the return we get on our investment of time． By reading this passage you are
giving over a bit of your time which could be spent doing other activities, such as sleeping and
eating． In return, however, this passage will help you to think like an economist, closely
considering the opportunity cost of each of your decisions．
58．According to the passage, the concept of “opportunity cost” is applied to ________．
A． making more money
B． taking more opportunities
C． reducing missed opportunities
D． weighing the choice of opportunities
59．The “leftover ．．． time” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to the time ________．
A．spared for watching the match at home
B．taken to have dinner with friends
C．spent on the way to and from the match
D．saved from not going to watch the match
60．What are forgone opportunities?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A． Opportunities you forget in decision-making．
B． Opportunities you give up for better ones．
C． Opportunities you miss accidentally．
D． Opportunities you make up for．
C
Most damagingly, anger weakens a person’s ability to think clearly and keep control over his
behaviour． The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the
person or situation that arouses his anger．
Not everyone experiences anger in the same way; what angers one person may amuse
another． The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological
and cultural forces． In contemporary culture, physical expressions of anger are generally
considered too socially harmful to be tolerated． We no longer regard duels (决斗) as an
appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person’s awareness of insulting behaviour on
the part of another．
Anger can be identified in the brain, where the electrical activity changes． Under most
conditions EEG (脑电图) measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right
and left prefrontal (额叶前部) areas． Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed
disposition (意向) that most of us possess most of the time． But when we are angry the EEG of
the right and left prefrontal areas aren’t balanced and, as a result of this, we’re likely to
react． And our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions,
whether positive or negative．
Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour: we move closer to people
we like． Most negative emotions, in contrast, are associated with avoidance behaviour: we
move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious． But anger is an
exception to this pattern． The angrier we are, the more likely we are to move towards the object
of our anger． This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as offensive anger: the angry
person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his
anger． This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal
asymmetry (不对称) of EEG activity． Interestingly, this asymmetry lessens if the angry person
can experience empathy (同感) towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
response． In defensive anger, in contrast, the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the
angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation．
61．The “duels” example in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger ________．
A．usually has a biological basis
B．varies among people
C．is socially and culturally shaped
D．influences one’s thinking and evaluation
62．What changes can be found in an angry brain?
A． Balanced electrical activity can be spotted．
B． Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas．
C． Electrical activity corresponds to one’s behaviour．
D． Electrical activity agrees with one’s disposition．
63．Which of the following is typical of offensive anger?
A． Approaching the source of anger．
B． Trying to control what is disliked．
C． Moving away from what is disliked． D． Feeling helpless in the face of anger．
64．What is the key message of the last paragraph?
A． How anger differs from other emotions． B． How anger relates to other emotions．
C． Behavioural responses to anger．
D． Behavioural patterns of anger．

August 1990, Boston
Dear Maya Shao-ming,
To me, June 6,1990 is a special day. My long-awaited dream came true the minute your
father cried, "A girl!" You are more than just a second child, more than just a girl
to match our boy. You, little daughter, are the link to our female line, the legacy
of another woman's pain and sacrifice 31 years ago.
Let me tell you about your Chinese grandmother. Somewhere in Hong Kong, in the late
fifties, a young waitress found herself pregnant (怀孕) by a cook, probably a
co-worker at her restaurant. She carried the baby to term, suffered to give it birth,
and kept the little girl for the first three months of her life. I like to think
that my mother — your grandmother — loved me and fought to raise me on her own,
but that the daily struggle was too hard. Worn down by the demands of the new baby
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
and perhaps the constant threat of starvation, she made the painful decision to give
away her girl so that both of us might have a chance for a better life.
More likely, I was dropped at the orphanage(孤儿院) steps or somewhere else.I will
probably never know the truth.Having a baby in her unmarried state would have brought
shame on the family in China, so she probably kept my existence a secret. Once I
was out of her life, it was as if I had never been born. And so you and your brother
and I are the missing leaves on a family tree.
Do they ever wonder if we exist?
Before I was two, I was adopted by an Anglo couple. Fed three square meals a day,
I grew like a wild weed and grasped all the opportunities they had to offer — books,
music, education, church life and community activities. In a family of blue-eyed
blonds, though, I stood out like a sore thumb. Whether from jealousy or fear of
someone who looked so different, my older brothers sometimes teased me about my
unpleasing skin, or made fun of my clumsy walk. Moody and impatient, burdened by
fears that none of us realized resulted from my early years of need, I was not an
easy child to love. My mother and I conflicted countless times over the years, but
gradually came to see one another as real human beings with faults and talents, and
as women of strength in our own right. Lacking a mirror image in the mother who raised
me, I had to seek my identity as a woman on my own. The Asian American community
has helped me regain my double identity.
But part of me will always be missing: my beginnings, my personal history, all the
delicate details that give a person her origin. Nevertheless, someone gave me a lucky
name "Siu Wai". "Siu" means "little", and "Wai" means "clever". Therefore, my baby
name was "Clever little one". Who chose those words? Who cared enough to note my
arrival in the world?
I lost my Chinese name for 18 years. It was Americanized for convenience to "Sue".
But like an ill-fitting coat, it made me uncomfortable. I hated the name. But even
more, I hated being Chinese. It took many years to become proud of my Asian origin
and work up the courage to take back my birth-name. That, plus a little knowledge
of classroom Cantonese, is all the Chinese culture I have to offer you. Not white,
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
certainly, but not really Asian, I try to pave the way between the two worlds and
bridge the gap for you. Your name, "Shao-ming", is very much like mine — "Shao"
means "little". And "ming" is "bright", as in a shining sun or moon. Whose lives
will you brighten, little Maya? Your past is more complete than mine, and each day
I cradle you in your babyhood, generously giving you the loving care I lacked for
my first two years. When I pat you, I comfort the lost baby inside me who still cries
for her mother.
Sweet Maya, it doesn't matter what you "become" later on. You have already fulfilled
my wildest dreams.
I love you,
Mommy

第四部分: 任务型阅读 (共 10 小题; 每小题 1 分, 满分 10 分)
请阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
The expression, “everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of the concept of peer
pressure． It is a strong influence of a group, especially of children, on members of that group to
behave as everybody else does． It can be positive or negative． Most people experience it in
some way during their lives．
People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly surprising that part of their
self-respect comes from the approval of others． This instinct (天性) is why the approval of peers,
or the fear of disapproval, is such a powerful force in many people’s lives． It is the same instinct
that drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer “fine” when
a stranger asks “how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true． There is a practical aspect to
this: it helps society to function efficiently, and encourages a general level of self-discipline that
simplifies day-to-day interaction．
For certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes like an
addiction; in order to satisfy the desire, they may go so far as to abandon their sense of right and
wrong． Teens and young adults may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs that encourage
criminal behavior． Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to cover up illegal activity at the
company where they work, or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to
buy a house or car that they can’t afford in an effort to “keep up with the Joneses．”
However, peer pressure is not always negative． A student whose friends are good at
academics may be urged to study harder and get good grades． Players on a sports team may feel
driven to play harder in order to help the team win． This type of influence can also get a friend
off drugs, or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one． Study groups and class
projects are examples of positive peer groups that encourage people to better themselves．
Schools try to teach kids about the dangers of negative peer pressure． They teach kids to
stand up and be themselves, and encourage them to politely decline to do things that they
believe are wrong． Similarly, it can be helpful to encourage children to greet the beneficial
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
influence of positive peer groups．
第五部分: 书面表达 (满分 25 分)
81． 请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。
When we read newspapers, we often come across such English words as “AIDS” and “PK．”
When we watch TV, we frequently hear words like “NBA” or “PM2．5．” When we speak, we
automatically use words like “OUT” or “Bye-bye．” English words and expressions like these are
getting popular． They have already become part of our daily language． And 239 English words
have been included in the latest Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese．
The inclusion has started a heated discussion． A group of scholars signed a letter of
complaint over the inclusion of these English words, which, they think, goes against Chinese
language policies． They not only worry that Chinese is borrowing an increasing number of
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
English words but are also concerned that the inclusion may hurt the dignity of the Chinese
language． However, others are in favor of the inclusion because it is hard to say whether it will
threaten the Chinese language． They believe the selection is mostly a result of their function
and use in daily life．

Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese includes 239 English words． Some people support it while
others do not．
Generally, I am in favour of the inclusion． As the number of English learners is on the rise,
it’s not difficult for them to understand these words in Chinese contexts． Besides, it is, on some
occasions, more convenient to use English words． Most people nowadays use “IT” instead of its
translation “xinxi jishu．” In our global village, we can see that it’s not uncommon for one
language to borrow words from other languages． In English, there are many words borrowed
from Latin, French, or even Chinese． In fact, Chinese has never stopped taking words from other
languages, say, “ganbu” or “minzhu” from Japanese．
So, it’s safe to conclude that it is reasonable to include English which facilitates daily
communication．
反对：
With English words getting popular in both media and daily life, a Chinese dictionary has
included 239 of them, leaving the public divided into two opposing groups: “For” and “Against．”
I tend to take the “Against” side for two reasons． Firstly, this inclusion has actually polluted
our mother tongue． Sooner or later, many English accents will rise and fall with the four Chinese
tones． And, rules don’t tell us how to pronounce such English-turned Chinese words as “wifi”
and “Out” in a Chinese way! Secondly, such an inclusion may give rise to prejudices of the
educated against those with little knowledge of English． Just for one illustration, while college
students take “Bye-bye” for granted when parting from each other, it may unconsciously hurt the
feelings of someone who is used to “zaijian．”
In short, not only has the inclusion poisoned Chinese, it may also bring about distance
between the Chinese people．

A
Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险)but this time, it was different． He
decided to take his daughter along with him． She was only ten years old． This would be her first
trip with her father on what he had always been famous for．
Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age． Similarly, his father had taken him
along on one of his expeditions． Since then, he had never looked back． Larry started out by
renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore． He had hated them． They
were either too big or too small． Then, there was the instructor． He gave him a short lesson
before allowing him into the water with his father． He had made an exception． Larry would
never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar
number of hours on practical lessons with a guide． Children his age were not even allowed to
dive．
After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better． There
was never a dull moment． In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his
back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean． Dangerous areas did not prevent him
from continuing his search． Sometimes, his was limited ．com to a cage underwater but that did
not bother him． At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures．
Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands．There were numerous
diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them ．Fortunately for him，a
man offered to take him around the different spots for free． Larry did not even know what the
time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken．The diving
spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
varieties of creatures．
Larry looked at his daughter．She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age．He
hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition．Already，she looked like she was much
braver than had been then．This was the key to a successful underwater expedition．
56．In what way was this expedition different for Larry?
A．His daughter had grown up．
B．He had become a famous diver．
C．His father would dive with him．
D．His daughter would dive with him．
57．What can be inferred from Paragraph2?
A．Larry had some privileges．
B． Larry liked the rented diving suits．
C．Divers had to buy diving equipment．
D．Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive．
58．Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?
A．To protect himself from danger．
B．To dive into the deep water．
C．To admire the underwater view．
D．To take photo more conveniently．
59．What can be learned from the underlined sentence?
A．Larry didn’t wear a watch．
B． Larry was not good at math．
C． Larry had a poor memory．
D． Larry enjoyed the adventure．
60．What did Larry expect his daughter to do?

Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general
society ． Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the
moment． Progress must lead a better way of doing things．All these, however, remains true only
in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more
efficient ways of doing things．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
However，at the back of the minds of many people，especially those who the “good old
days”, efficiency comes with a price． When communication becomes efficient，people are able
to conduct one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to．The click of
a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their
homes． With the communication gadgets，such as mobile phones and ipads， people often do
not take the effect to visit one another personally．A personal visit carries with the additional
feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts． We cannot
unnecessarily excuse our selves or turn the other person off．
With efficiency also comes mass production．Such is the nature of factories and the success
of industrialization today．Factories have improved efficiency． Unskillful tasks are left to
machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human
hand could ever have done． However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss
of the personal
Touch when making these products． For example, many handcrafts(手工艺品) are now
produced in a factory．
Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is
quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the
handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item．
Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of
view． In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up． It is only with progress and the
invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state． New
technology is required for old products to stay old．
It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has
on society． Technology is flexible． There is no fixed way of making use of it． Everything
depends on people’s attitude． The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to
rethink their attitudes and views of society． When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our
needs, a new “past” is created．
70．According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to _______．
A． live a better life B． look for better methods
C． change ways of living D． accept technology and advance steadily
71．The underlined word “gadgets” is closest in meaning to _______．
A． tools B． messages C． barriers D． skills
72．The author explains “efficiency comes with a price” by _______．
A． describing a process B． using examples
C． following time order D． making classification
73．Compared with home-made handicrafts, machine made products _______．
A． lack great accuracy B． lack the personal touch
C． are of high value D． are quite welcome
74．What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A． It can destroy old traditions． B． It can lead to social progress．
C． It can be used to correct mistakes． D． It can be used to preserve old products．
75．What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A． Progress can suit the needs of daily life．
B． People review the past with great regret．
C． Technology should be introduced in a fixed way．
D． People’s attitude decides the use of technology．

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40 分)
第一节 (共15 小题;每小题2 分，满分30 分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A, B, C 和D)中．选出最佳选项。
A
A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on
exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑)．
Students arc increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰
度)．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts
they have been taught．
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the
tendency to make notes "mindlessly" by taking down word for word what the professors said
In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper ．They
listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills． Thirty minutes
after the talk , they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they
understood concepts．
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by
hand． However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts． Both
groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts．
The researchers' report said, "While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken
mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears．"
In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but
were tested a week after the lecture． This time, the students who wrote notes by hand
performed significantly better on the exam．
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate
learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future．
21．More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can ．
A． write more notes B． digest concepts better
C． get higher scores D． understand lectures better
22．While taking notes, laptop users tend to be ．
A． skillful B． mindless
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C． thoughtful D． tireless
23．The author of the passage aims to ．
A．examine the importance of long-term memory
B．stress the benefit of taking notes by hand
C．explain the process of taking notes
D．promote the use of laptops
24．The passage is likely to appear in ．
A．a newspaper advertisement B．a computer textbook
C．a science magazine D．a finance report
B
(Q = Question; A = Answer)
Situation I
Q： If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?
A： Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it． Chances are that close sitter doesn't realize he
disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance． You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's
met who needs enough room． Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show．
Situation II
Q： If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?
A： Consider frequency and urgency． Is this a one-time or an emergency? If so, you don't have
to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did． However, if you regularly use the bathroom
at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one．
Situation III
Q： If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?
A： No． Try other means．1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down． 2) Lift your
finger in a silence motion(动作)and smile． 3) Put on earphones and ignore him．
Situation IN
Q： If I remember my friend's birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy
birthday like nothing happened?
A： This is the reason why the word belated was invented． "Happy belated birthday!" is short for：
"Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered． Forgive me and happy birthday．"
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Situation V
Q： Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?
A： Don't lie． Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it． Why waste a perfectly
good lie when the truth will serve? "Yes," you can say if ever asked, "I saw it．" No
explanation is needed as to why you don't respond．
25．You will get annoyed in a theater when ．
A． a person is too active
B． a person is too rude to you

D． a person sits too close to you

A． By making fun of him continuously．
B． By looking purposefully at him．
C． By talking to him directly．
D． By pointing angrily at him．
27．The underlined word "belated" in Situation IV probably means ．
A． predicted B． returned C． cancelled D． delayed
28．What is the passage mainly about?
A． Modern ways to mind your manners．
B． Different ways to change others' manners．
C． Proper manners to offer help to others．
D． Good manners to talk to people．
C
Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and
pass on their wealth to the next generation?
UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us
ever imagined． Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the
fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was． In fact, the opposite is true： trees survive
through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition "depending on who
needs it"．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌)networks,
making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to
keep them all healthy． This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of
neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all．
Simard talks about "mother trees", usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other
trees depend． She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation,
transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow． When humans
cut down "mother trees" with no awareness of these highly complex "tree societies" or the
networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest．
"We didn't take any notice of it" Simard says sadly． "Dying trees move nutrition into the
young trees before dying, but we never give them chance．" If we could put across the message
to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection
efforts for the future．
29．The underlined sentence "the opposite is true" in Paragraph 2 probably means that
trees ．
A． compete for survival
B． protect their own wealth
C． depend on each other
D． provide support for dying trees
30．"Mother trees" are extremely important because they ．
A． look the largest in size in the forest
B． pass on nutrition to young trees
C． seem more likely to be cut down by humans
D． know more about the complex "tree societies"
31．The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refers to ．
A． how "tree societies" work
B． how trees grow old
C． how forestry industry develops
D． how young trees survive
32．What would be the best title for the passage?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A． Old Trees Communicate Like Humans
B． Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection
C． Trees Are More Awesome Than You Think
D． Trees Contribute To Our Society
D
Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees (雇员)and profits
(利润) of over $2 million per year． He's never late to work． He does not get upset on the
job． When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her
away． "Your working uniform is your shelter," he told her． "Nothing anyone says will ever hurt
you． You will always be as strong as you want to be．"
Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that
began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation． The training has,
Travis says, changed his life． G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work
on time, and how to master his emotions (情绪)． Most importantly, it taught him willpower．
At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit; willpower． Dozens
of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success．
And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit． "Sometimes it looks
like people with great self-control aren't working hard—but that's because they've made it
automatic," Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said．"Their
willpower occurs without them having to think about it．"
The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on
self-control． Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit
in workers' lives． Those courses arc, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a
large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year．
33．We loam from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must ．
A． learn to give lectures
B． attend education programs
C． design a working uniform
D． develop a common hobby
34．Willpower will become a habit when employees can ．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A． focus on the profits
B． benefit from the job
C． protect themselves well
D． control their feeling well
35．What can we infer from the passage?
A． G&G has grown into a large company．
B． G&G will spend half its profits training employees．
C． G&G may become more successful in the future．
D． G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers．

Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life． Every waking moment, the eyes are
working to see the world around us． Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing
eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes． Here are five
suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：
·Schedule yearly exams． 36 Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to
the doctor for a careful check． The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly
eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses．
·Protect against UV rays (紫外线)． Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes． No
matter what the season is, it's extremely important to wear sunglasses． 37
·Give your eyes a break． Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using
computers or other digital products． 38 Experts recommend that people practice
the 20/20/20 rule： every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet
away．
· 39 As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day． Vitamins (维生素)
C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health．
· Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜)． Many Americans use contact
lenses to improve their eyesight． While some follow the medical guidance for wearing
contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk． 40
【斐然英语十年真题系列】

condition．
A． Eat your greens．

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。本文揭示实验研究的结果，用笔记本电脑记笔记的
人记忆和应用概念的能力较差，而用手记笔记的人在考试中的表现更好。
译文：这两个实验表明手写的笔记不仅对即时学习和理解更有好处，而且会导致以后更
好的复习。
21．A【解析】根据第二段第一句“Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because
of speed and legibility（清晰度）”可知，学生越来越多地使用笔记本电脑记笔记是因
为它的速度和清晰度，这说明用笔记本电脑记笔记速度快记得多。故选A。
22．B【解析】根据第二段第二句“But the research has found laptop users are less able to
remember and apply the concepts they have been taught”可知，研究已经发现笔记本
电脑的使用者没能记住和应用教给他们的概念。由此可推知，笔记本电脑的使用者在
记笔记时是不动脑子的。故选B。
23．B【解析】本文通过实验发现了用笔记本电脑记笔记的不良效果和用手记笔记的优势，
两者相比突出了用手记笔记的好处。故选B。
24．C【解析】根据文章内容可知，本文揭示实验研究的结果，用笔记本电脑记笔记的人记
忆和应用概念的能力较差，而用手记笔记的人在考试中的表现更好。由此可推知，本
文应该出现在科学杂志里。故选C。
【解题导语】 本文是一篇对话文章。本文通过对话对五种情况下如何采取行动给出了
比较现代的处理方式。
25．D【解析】根据Situation I 中的答语“Chances are that the close sitter doesn't realize he
disturbs you，so he may miss your annoyance”可知，坐的位置靠近你的人可能没有意
识到他打扰了你，所以他可能忽略你的烦恼。由此推知，在剧院，当有人坐得离你太
近时，你会感到很烦。故选D。
26．B【解析】根据SituationⅢ中的答语“Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down”
可知，有人在公共场所大声喧哗时，你就盯着他看，直到他意识到了并安静下来。故
选B。
27．D【解析】根据Situation Ⅳ中的问题“If I remember my friend's birthday a day late”（如
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
果“我”晚一天才记起朋友的生日。）可知，belated 意为“迟来的”。故选D。
28．A【解析】本文对五种情况下如何采取行动给出了比较现代的方法。故选A。
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。树比我们大多数人曾经想象得都要复杂，树通过合
作和支持，通过营养传递来生存。
29．C【解析】根据第二段第三句中冒号后的解释“trees survive through their co-operation and
support, passing around necessary nutrition‘depending on who needs it’”可知，树通
过合作和支持存活下来。由此可知the opposite is true 的意思是“树依靠彼此”。故选
C。
30．B【解析】根据第四段第一句和第二句“Simard talks about‘mother trees’...how dying trees
pass on the wealth to the next generation...so they may continue to grow”可知，mother
trees 是其他树的依靠，它们在即将死亡时会将财富传给下一代，把重要的矿物质传
给小树。故选B。
31．A【解析】本句中的“didn't take any notice of”与第四段最后一句中的“no awareness of”
相对应，那么it 则指代“complex‘tree societies' or the networks on which they feed”。
故选A。
32．C【解析】根据全文内容，尤其是第二段第一句“UBC Professor Simard explains how trees
are much more complex than most of us ever imagined”可知全文主题：树比我们大多
数人曾经想象得都要复杂。故选C。
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。本文介绍了G&C 公司注重员工的培训，而且将其
贯穿于员工的整个职业生涯。G&G 公司的做法使得这样一家默默无闻的公司一年内就
发展成了拥有多家商店和巨大利润的公司，而且前景大好。
译文：Travis 在G&G 一个培训课程中听到了那个演讲，一个起始于他工作的第一天并一
直贯穿于他职业生涯的教育项目。
33．B【解析】根据第二段第一句“Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses,
an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's
occupation”可知，员工在C&G 公司必须参加教育培训项目。故选B。
34．D【解析】根据第五段的第一句和第二句“The company spent millions of dollars developing
programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that
serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives”可知，当员工们能够
很好地控制自己的情感时，意志力就会成为一种习惯。故选D。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
35．C【解析】根据本文最后一句“Those courses are，in part，why G&G has grown from a sleepy
company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more
than$10 billion a year”可知，在某种程度上，这些课程就是G&G 在一年内由一家默
默无闻的公司发展成为具有一万七千多家商店以及年利润超过100 亿美元的大公司
的原因，而且这家公司注重对员工的培训，所以未来可能会更成功。故选C。
【解题导语】视力在我们的日常生活中具有重要作用。超过40%的美国人担心失明，因
而本文给出了五条建议，保证一生视力健康。
36．B 【解析】根据下句“Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the
doctor for a careful check”可知，句中的careful与B项中care对应，babies 6 to 12 months
与B 项中的early in life 对应。且B 项符合语境。故选B。
37．C【解析】上句意为：不管是什么季节，戴太阳镜都是极其重要的。C 项“它们能适当
地保护你的眼睛”能很好地顺接语意。故选C。

眼疲劳的风险”符合本段主题，也直接引出下句“专家推荐人们采用20/20/20 规则”。
故选G。
39．A 【解析】空格处后文的内容是，作为健康饮食的一部分，每天要吃更多的水果和蔬
菜。维生素C 和E 帮助保护视力，促进眼睛健康。所以A 项“吃点绿色蔬菜”能够概
括本段大意，故选A。
40．F 【解析】F 项中的“follow the doctor's advice for appropriate wear”和空格处上句中的
“follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses”对应。故选F。

One morning, Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary
school． She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog． Ann said that she could watch it
only for the day．
Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers（传单）, and put them in
mailboxes． Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her
two sons not to fall in love with the dog． At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and
Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old．
Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call
Riley． When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and
barked madly at her． As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where
Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack． Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent
over to help him the dog went silent．
“If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local
newspaper． At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it．
The next morning Tracy got a call． A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called
the number on the flier． Tracy started crying, and told him, “That dog saved my friend’s son．”

It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore． Needless to say, it was too hot to do
anything outside． But it was also scorching in our apartment． This was 1962, and I would not
live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years． So my brother and I decided to
leave the apartment to find someplace indoors． He suggested we could see a movie． It was a
brilliant plan．
Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit
in air conditioning． In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies． Then,
the theater would show the same two movies again． If you wanted to, you could sit through
them twice． Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater． Mr． Bellow did not
mind if you did．
That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the
heat． We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each． Then, we sat and watched The
Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance． We’d already seen the second
movie once before． It had been at the theater since January, because Mr． Bellow loved
anything with John Wayne in it．
We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began． But we returned the
next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more． And we did it the next day
too． Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and
Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of
the few I have of the heat wave of 1962． They’re really memories of the screen, not memories
of my life．

A． He loved children very much． B． He was a fan of John Wayne．
C． He sold air conditioners．
D． He was a movie star．
49．Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times?
A． The two movies were really wonderful．
B． They wanted to avoid the heat outside．
C． The manager of the theater was friendly．
D． They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater．

Massachusetts slaveholders． She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett．”

freedom．
While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new

them as a paid employee． She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick． Mumbet died
in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔)． One of her great-grandchildren
was W．E．B． Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and
spokesperson for African American civil rights．
Mumbet’s tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried． It
reads, in part: “She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty

How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the
case． An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your
performance on your phone．
The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in
Las Vegas this week． It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android
phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection．
The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!)
and make sure you’re brushing long enough． “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch
your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor．
The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers
could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush． You could score points for
beating monsters among your teeth． “We try to make it smart but also fun,” Several says．
Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father． He would come home from work
and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth． They said “yes,” but Serval would find their
toothbrush heads dry． He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children

The kids in this village wear dirty, ragged clothes． They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts
made of sticks and mud． They have no school． Yet they all can chant the English alphabet, and
some can make words．
The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑) dropped off in their Ethiopian
village in February by a U．S． group called One Laptop Per Child．
The goal is to find out whether kids using today’s new technology can teach themselves to
read in places where no schools or teachers exist． The Massachusetts Institute of Technology
researchers analyzing the project data say they’re already amazed． “What I think has already
happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of
kindergarten,” said Matt Keller, who runs the Ethiopia program．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa
Negusse． The device’s camera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had
figured out its workings and made the camera work． He called himself a lion, a marker of
accomplishment in Ethiopia．
With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal
names he knows． Then he spelled words on his own． “Seven months ago he didn’t know any
English． That’s unbelievable,” said Keller．
The project aims to get kids to a stage called “deep reading,” where they can read to
learn． It won’t be in Amharic, Ethiopia’s first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the
ticket to higher paying jobs．
62．How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?
A．It trains teachers for them．
B．It contributes to their self-study．
C．It helps raise their living standards． D．It provides funds for building schools．
63．What can we infer from Keller’s words in Paragraph 3?
A． They need more time to analyze data．
B． More children are needed for the research．
C． He is confident about the future of the project．
D． The research should be carried out in kindergartens．
64．It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _______．
A． learn English words quickly． B． draw pictures of animals．
C． write letters to researchers． D． make phone calls to his friends．
65．What is the aim of the project?
A． To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs．
B． To make Amharic widely used in the world．
C． To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English．
D． To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language．

后的字数要求）。
[1] Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to
own one, and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers． The result is
overcrowding on the road system, which is one of the problems the local governments are faced
with．
[2] When people travel to other towns, the problem might be relieved by getting them to
park outside the town． Buses could be provided to take them into the centre． These Park and
Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK． At Southerton, for example, a council-funded
project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months．
[3] What the council found, though, was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with
shop owners in the area outside the centre． Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for
some of their trade． As the number of people driving past dropped, so did their incomes．
[4] Making car driving expensive is another way of ____________． Road taxes tend to
mean that people use their cars less． Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been
banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind．
[5] However, one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed． If we expect people
to give up the habit of driving, we must give them an alternative they can rely on． Constant
delays, unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people
from using public transport． People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on
time．

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only
time he had been there． It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of
Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas． He also worked as a professor at SMU,
and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease． She couldn’t
afford the operation because her family was poor．
Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas． She
was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手
稿）． On its top page were the words, “By O． Henry”． It was a nice story, and she sent it to her
daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father． My father had never read the story before, but it
sounded like O． Henry, and he knew that O． Henry had once lived in Houston． So it was
possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston
boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident．My
father visited an O.Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the
story as O.Henry’s．
My father then set out to sell it． Eventually, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting
with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register． Cowles loved the story and
bought it on the spot． My father took the money to the girl． It was just enough for her to have
the operation she so desperately needed．
My father never told me what the O.Henry story was about． But I doubt that it could
have been better than his own story．
49．Who found the O.Henry’s manuscript?
A．The girl’s mother． B．The author’s father．
C．The girl．
D．The author．
50．Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?
A．O.Henry once worked in Houston． B．O.Henry once stayed in Galveston．
C．O.Henry once moved to Des Moines． D．O.Henry once taught at SMU．
51．The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________．
A．named B．treated C．proved D．described
52．According to the text, why did the author’s father go to Des Moines?
A．To sell the O.Henry story． B．To meet the author himself．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．To talk with the O.Henry expert． D．To give money to the girl．

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume
rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and
decisions about eating may affect weight． Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop
eating when they feel full． However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their
favorite TV show is over．
According to Dr．Joseph Mercola，a health expert, the French see eating as an important
part of their life style． They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while
Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities．Mercola
believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full． So they keep eating long
after the French would have stopped． In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge
supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week． The French, instead, tend to shop
daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits,
vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal．
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat,
decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to
avoid food． Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym．
In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be
affecting French eating habits． Today the rate of obesity — or extreme overweight — among
adults is only 6%． However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older
traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing．
53．In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr．Joseph Mercola?
A．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently．
B．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities．
C．They regard eating as a key part of their life style．
D．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food．
54．This text is mainly the relationship between _________．
A．Americans and the French B． life style and obesity
C．children and adults D． fast food and overweight
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
55．The text is mainly developed __________．
A．by contrast B．by space C．by process D．by classification
56．Where does this text probably come from?
A．A TV interview B． A food advertisement
C．A health report D． A book review
D
One afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son’s school being
comforted by teachers． That morning, my 11-year-old had stomach pains, retching（干呕）into
a bowl． Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or
difficulty sleeping the night before．
What caused so much pain? Sports day． Sports day might be necessary at a
highly-competitive independent school, but not at a village primary school． For the children who
can fly like the wind, sports day cause no problem． For those who are overweight or just not
good at sport, it is nightmare（恶梦）．Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the
track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disaster．
Why do we put our children through this annual suffering? Some may say competition is
character building; or it’s taking part, not winning, that’s important; or that it is a tradition of
school life． I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain．
Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of
shouting — and were fun to watch． More importantly, the children who were not so fast or
quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone’s eyes． Some of them also had the
thrill of being on the winning side．
I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other less-competitive
event． Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would
be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch．
57．What can we learn about the author’s son from Paragraph 1?
A． He talked with some mothers． B． He comforted his classmates．
C． He had difficulty in sleeping． D． He suffered from stomachache．
58．Sports day is still an annul event in this school probably because __________．
A．this is an independent school B． it is a tradition of the school
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．it helps children lose weight D． children enjoy watching sports
59．What does the author think about team games?
A．They should include more stressful races．
B． They are acceptable to different children．
C．They should be abandoned at primary schools．
D．They are less fun for those who love running．
60．What is the author’s attitude towards sports day?
A．Critical． B． Neutral． C． Positive． D． Ambiguous．
第二节 （共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分）
根据短文内容，从下框的A~F 选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项
为多余项。
A． Real winners of tourism
B． Negative effects of tourism
C． Growing tourism in the world
D． Developing tourism with caution
E． Benefits to the locals from tourism
F． Tourism problems and possible solutions
61．__________________
On the Mediterranean island of Majorca in Spain, the locals are angry． Too late． In the
last quarter of the 20th century, they obtained profit from foreign visitors wanting to buy up
property on their beautiful island． Suddenly, it occurred to Majorcans that the island no longer
belonged to them． Its 630,000 inhabitants（居民）are increasingly convinced that the 14 million
visitors a year are far too much of a good thing． Water is in short supply, pollution is worsening,
and there is no affordable housing left for them to buy．
62．__________________
Tourism is the world’s largest and fastest growing industry． In 1950, 25 million people
traveled abroad; last year, it was 750 million． The World Tourism Organization predicts that 1．6
billion people, by 2020, will travel each year, spending over two trillion（万亿）US dollars．
63．__________________
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The host country may not see many benefits． In Thailand, 60% of the $ 4 billion annual
tourism income leaves the country． Tourists arrange by travel companies tend to stay at a big
foreign-owned hotels, buying few local products． Mass tourism（团队旅游）usually leaves little
money inside the country and most of the money goes to the airlines, the tour operators，and the
foreign hotel owners, who are the final winners of tourism．
64．__________________
These days the industry’s most urgent question may be how to control the flow of
tourists． A typical example of this is Italy, where great cultural centers like the Florence and
Venice can’t handle all the tourists they get every summer． In Florence, its half-million
inhabitants have to live with the pollution, traffic jam, and crime caused by 11 million visitors a
year． Now there is talk about how to solve these problems, like raising hotel taxes, or even
changing admission to some public squares． The idea is to discourage at least some visitors, as
well as to pay for cleaning up the mess．
65．__________________
For many poorer countries, tourism may still offer the best hope for development． The
Vietnamese are doing their best to open up their country． Libya has paid $ 1 million for a
study． They all wanted tourists． Yet if something isn’t done, tourism seems certain to become
the victim of its success． Its effect on the environment is a major concern． For this reason,
tourist organizations need to have second thoughts about what exactly they are trying to sell．

②考查时态。根据语境可知，此处表示过去的动作，所以要用一般过去时。故把come 改为
came。
③考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构来判断，此处要用现在分词作状语，表示伴随情况。故把
have 改为having。
④考查副词。根据句子结构来判断，此处要用副词修饰动词jumped。故把immediate 改为
immediately。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
⑤考查介词。shoot...at...的意思是“用……射击……”。
⑥考查代词。根据句子前的“their arrows”可判断出，此处表示多支箭，所以用none，表
示“没有一个”；而neither 表示“两者都不”。故把Neither 改为None。
⑦考查主谓一致。由于句子主语为“the arrows”，故谓语动词要用复数形式，同时此处表示
过去的动作，所以要用were。
⑧考查句子结构。根据句子结构来判断，此处是系表结构。be like 表示“相像”，look like
表示“看起来像”，故此处有两种改法：去掉were 或looked。
⑨考查连词。根据句意可知，前后表示顺承关系，而不是转折关系。故把but 改为and。
⑩考查冠词。由于impressive 是以元音音素开头的，所以要用不定冠词an 来修饰。

In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska,
where adventure was never very far away．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun． All that sunlight was
fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden． Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her
timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime．
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk． That left me in a mess． I usually
managed to find some trouble to get into． Once I had a little Are going in the dirt basement of a
hotel． I had tried to light a barrel（桶）of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going． The
smoke got pretty bad, though, and when 1 made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to
greet me． The policemen took my matches and drove me
Mom and Dad were occupied in thegarden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did!
I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me． 1 hadn't turned 5 yet．
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in． Would it surprise you to know
that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I
was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday． At the time I didn't realize what a
superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well． I was wrapped (包裹) heavily and well
sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather．
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when

A schoolgirl saved her father's life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious
allergic (过敏的) reaction which stopped his heart．
Izzy, nine, restarted father Colm's heart by stamping (踩) on his chest after he fell down at
home and stopped breathing．
Izzy's mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in
time to save her father, so decided to use CPR．
However, she quickly discovered her arms weren't strong enough, so she stamped on her
father's chest
Debbie then took over with some more conventional chest compressions (按压) until the
ambulance
Izzy, who has been given a bravery award by her school, said: "I just kicked him really
hard． My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn't strong enough to use hands． I was quite
scared． The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse． My mum said that Dad was
going to hospital with a big footprint on his
"She's a little star," said Debbie, "i was really upset but Izzy just took over． I just can't
believe what she did． I really think all children should be taught first aid． Izzy did CPR then the
doctor turned up． Colm had to have more treatment on the way to the hospital and we've got to
see an expert．"
Truck driver Colm, 35, suffered a mystery allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to
hospital, but was sent home only for it to happen again the next day． The second attack was so

Willi around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9 am Monday morning lecture, it is no
surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them arc still awake
after the first IS minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas (睡
衣)． Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule．
All human beings possess a body clock． Along with other alerting (警报) systems, this
governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep
behaviour． Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to
many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings． This typical sleep pattern is
usually referred to as the "night owl" schedule of
This is opposed to the "early bird" schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual
tends to stay up much past midnight． Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the
mornings． Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings
and at night． Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
"night owls" and only 10 percent can be classified as "early birds" - the other 70 percent are in
the middle． Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night
owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before
midday．
43．What docs the author stress in Paragraph I?
A． Many students are absent from class．
B． Students are very tired on Monday mornings．
C． Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well．
D． Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays．
44．Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?
A． Most students prefer to get up late in the morning．
B． Students don't sleep well because of alerting systems．
C． One's body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently．
D． Adolescents' delayed sleep/wake cycle isn't the preferred pattern．
45．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "classified"?
A． Criticised．
B． Grouped．
C． Organised．
D． Named．
46．What docs the text mainly talk about?
A．Functions of the body clock．
B．The "night owl" phenomenon．
C．Human beings' sleep behaviour．
D．The school schedule of "early birds"．

Women are friendly． But men are more competitive． Why? Researchers have found it's all
down to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素)． Although known as the love hormone, it
affects the sexes differently．
"Women tend to be social in their behavior． They often share with others． But men lend
to be competitive． They are trying to improve their social status," said Professor Ryan．
Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social
situations and
our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions (互动) such as falling
in love or giving birth．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our
body during negative social interactions such as envy．
Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to
recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize
friendship． Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37． Half of
the participants（参与者）received oxytocin． The other half received placebo (安慰剂)．
After a week, the two groups switched with participants． They went tlirough the same
procedure with the other material．
Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social
interactions ． Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some
questions． The questions were about telling friendship from competition． And their answers
should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions．
The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, men's ability to correctly recognize
competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize
friendship that got better．
Professor Ryan thus concluded: "Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can
raise people's abilities to better distinguish different social interactions． And the behavior
differences between men and women are caused by biological factors (因素) that are mainly
hormonal．"
47．What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?
A．Placebo．
B．Oxytocin．
C．The gesture． D．The social status．
48．What can we learn from Professor Ryan's previous experiment?
A． Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way．
B． Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love．
C． Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others' success．
D． Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people's behavior differences．
49．Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment?
A． To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions．
B． To know the differences between friendship and competition．
C． To know people's different abilities to answer questions．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D． To test people's understanding of body language．
50．The author develops the text by______．
A． explaining people's behaviors
B． describing his own experiences
C． distinguishing sexual differences
D． discussing research experiments

When my father was celebrating a milestone (里程碑) birthday, I pulled together a surprise
gift that he would never forget．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
As he was approaching 60,1 had a fim idea: What if I could get the memories people had of
him, put each one into an envelope - 60 in total - and have him open them, one by one, on his
birthday? So I wrote an e-mail to family and friends, explaining my idea．
I sent the e-mail and waited． And then the replies started coming in and I was very, very
surprised． There were so many memories, and they were all so lovely． They came from the '50s,
'60s, '70s, from every decade（十年） between now and the day my dad was bom． They came
from my mother, my siblings, my grandma, my dad's friends from high school, his sister, my dad's
first boss, a colleague at his first job, from people who hadn't seen my dad in 40 years, from
people I myself hadn't even informed． They typed them and handwrote them． They mailed
them and e-mailed them．
The night before Dad's birthday, my sister and 1 stayed up late, putting everything together
with some
The next morning, after breakfast and presents and cake, we gave the pile of envelopes to
him． "Just one more thing for you," we said．
It took him a long time to open them and read． Each one was a brief ticket to another time,
a leap (跳跃) backward over years and decades． There was a lot of laughter and a few tears, too．
I was kind of sad when the project was over because it was great fun to collect these
memories． It gave me a different picture of my dad．

2014 年全国高考试题独家解析(四川卷)
英语答案
1．B【解析】句意：她曾在伦敦和曼彻斯特住过，但她都不喜欢，于是迁居到剑桥。语境表
明空格处用表示二者完全否定的不定代词。
2．D【解析】句意：奶奶指着医院说，“那是我出生的地方。”根据语境及句子结构可知，
空格处用where 引导表语从句。
3．D【解析】句意：史密斯先生生气是因为杰克上学迟到了吗？强调句用来引起他人注意，
其结构是：
“It is/was+被强调的部分+that/who．．．”，可译为：
“正是……”或“就是……”。
强调句的一般疑问句结构是：Is/Was it．．．that/who．．．?本题中是对原因状语从句
“because Jack came late for school”进行强调。
4．B【解析】句意：直到现在，我们已经为贫困儿童筹集了50 000 英镑，这很出乎意料。
which 引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面整个句子的内容，并在从句中作主语，可译
为“这件事”。注意：that 不能引导非限制性定语从句。
5．C【解析】句意：辛苦努力后，很多新产品被研发出来，经理很满意。句子结构表明空格
处用非谓语动词作宾语补足语。动词see 的宾语“many new products”与develop 之
间有被动关系且表示一个完成的动作，所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。
6．C【解析】句意：我仍然记得我的快乐的童年，那时母亲常会在周末带我去迪斯尼乐园。
would 可表示习惯性动作，译为“常会，总是”。
7．A【解析】——我希望参加计算机课程。——好主意。想查询更多的相关信息，访问该
网站。根据句意可知，空格处所需信息是“访问该网站”的目的，所以用动词不定式
作目的状语。
8．A【解析】句意：我将外出一段时间。如果发生重要的事情，请立刻 给我电话。in case
“如果，假若……的话”，引导条件状语从句；as if“犹如，好似”，引导方式状语从句；

语从句。根据句意可知，空格处用in case 引导条件状语从句。
9．C【解析】句意：当时她正打电话给别人，所以我对她点了点头，离开了。过去进行时表
示在过去某一时刻或某一段时间内正在进行或发生的动作，其形式为was/were+现在
分词。根据句意可知，空格处用过去进行时表示在过去某一时刻正发生的动作。
10．B【解析】——今晚一起去吃饭，咋样？我请客。——哦，我愿意去。You are welcome
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
“不用谢”；Oh，I'd like to“哦，我愿意去”；Well． I'm afraid so“哦。恐怕是这样的”；
That's all right“别客气，没关系”。根据语境可知B 项正确。
【解题导语】本文为记叙文。作者的丈夫汤姆一直与动物相处得很好，但当她的丈夫与
一只雌性松鸡成为好朋友时，她还是感到很惊讶，因为松鸡不常与人接触。事实上，松鸡很
难被发现，因为听到有人接近时，他们通常会飞走。
11．D unusual“不寻常的，罕见的”。根据下文中的“they usually fly off when they hear humans
approaching”可知，松鸡与人接触不寻常，
12．B 事实上，松鸡很难被发现，因为听到有人接近时，他们通常会飞走。上下句之间有因
果关系，所以空格处用because 引导原因状语从句。
13．A 根据第六段中的“As spring went and summer came”可知，松鸡在春天进入了作者一
家人的生活。
14．C 汤姆在地里干活时，注意到松鸡在田地的边缘走动。动词notice“看到，注意到”符
合语境。
15．D surprisingly“出人意料地”。上文提到有人接近时，松鸡通常会飞走，然而Tom 发现
的这只松鸡见到人时却无所畏惧。
16．B 松鸡在田地边活动，无所畏惧，似乎很好奇Tom 在做什么。故curious “好奇的”符
合上下文语境。

18．C fond“喜爱”。根据上下文提到的这只松鸡很“friendly”和全文的感情色彩可知，“我
们”很快喜欢上了这只松鸡，决定给她取名为Mildred。be fond of sb． /sth．意为“喜
欢某人／某物”。
19．D pretend“假装”。Tom 假装并没有看到她，想看看她下一步会做什么。根据“kept working
to see what she would do next”可推知，D 项正确。

可知，松鸡不喜欢被忽视。
21．B back off“后退”。松鸡跑上来啄Tom 的手，然后又后退看他要做什么。短语back off
与上文中的“run up”相对应。
22．A 根据上文中的“She'd run up and peck（啄）at Tom's hands，then 21 off to see what he
would do”可知，这对松鸡来说是一种“游戏”，这种“游戏”持续了约20 分钟后，

A world-famous Canadian author, Margaret Atwood, has created the world’s first
long-distance signing device(装置), the LongPen．
After many tiring book-signing tours from city to city，Atwood thought there must be a
better way to do them．She hired some technical experts and started her own company in
2004． Together they designed the LongPen． Here’s how it works: The author writes a personal
message and signature on a computer tablet(手写板) using a special pen． On the receiving end,
in another city, a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book． The author and fan can
talk with each other via webcams(网络摄像机) and computer screens。
Work on the LongPen began in Atwood’s basement(地下室)． At first, they had no idea it
would be as hard as it turned out to be． The device went through several versions, including one
that actually had smoke coming out of it． The investing finally completed, teat runs w ere made
in Ottawa, and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair． From here ,
Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New
York City．
The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the
author in real time． It has several other potential applications． It could increase credit card
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
security and allow people to sign contracts from another province． The video exchange between
signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used．
“It’s really fun”, said the owner of a bookstore, who was present for one of the test
runs． “Obviously you can’t shake hands with the author but there are chances for a connection
that you don’t get from a regular book signing．．
The response to the invention has not been all favorable． Atwood has received criticism
from authors who think she is trying to end book tours． But she said, “It will be possible to go to
places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn’t afford it．”
41．Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen?
A．To set up her own company
B．To win herself greater popularity
C．To write her books in a new way
D．To make book signings less tiring
42．How does the LongPen work?

B．It signs a book while receiving the author’s signature．
C．The webcam sends the author’s signature to another city．

43．What do we know about the invention of the LongPen?
A．It has been completed but not put into use．
B．The basement caught fire by accident．
C．Some versions failed before its test run．
D．The designers were well-prepared for the difficulty．
44．How could the LongPen be used in the future?

B．To improve credit card security
C．To keep a record of the author’s ideas．
D．To allow author and fan to exchange videos
45．What could be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6?

“Dad,” I say one day ，“let’s a trip． Why don’t you fly and meet me?”
My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM．His job filled his day, his
thought, his life． While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing
waterfall Peru． While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake
of the Ozarks．
My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of
funny stamps． He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure．
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks．We meet four weeks later in Rapid
City．
“ What is our first stop?” asks my father．
“What time is it?”
“Still don’t have a watch?”
Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore． As he stares up at the four Presidents carved
in granite(花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of little boy．
“Unbelievable,” he says, “How was this done?”
A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the
sculpture and then left the final touches to his son．
We stare up and I ask myself, Would I ever devote my life to anything?
No directions, no goals．I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice． Now I hear
them in my own．
The next day we’re at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic．
“Did you ever travel with your dad? I ask．
“Only once,” he says．“ I never spoke much with my father． We loved each other―but
never said it． Whatever he could give me, he gave．”
That last sentence ―it’s probably the same thing I’s say about my father． And what I’d want
my child to say about me．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
In Glacier National Park, my father says, “I’ve never seen water so blue．” I have, in several
places of the world, I can keep traveling, I realize ― and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I

People aren’t walking any more ―if they can figure out a way to avoid it．
I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel．The
journey is a matter of 281 steps． But I used the car． And I wasn’t in ay hurry, either, I had
merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis．
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was bred in the tradition
of going to places on my own two legs． At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day’s walk
and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill． It did not occur
to us that walking was a hardship．And the effect was lasting．When I was 45 years old I raced –
and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty．
Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the
heart． But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that
hearts and bodies need proper exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises
regularly． And walking is an ideal form of exercise ― the most familiar and natural of all．
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot． The man walking
can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel
of himself as a living creature in a living world, He cannot learn in a car．
The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life． Many
people don’t dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all
threat． To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road． And much of their
thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green．
I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light． And none but the man on foot can
evaluate what is basic and everlasting．
51．What is the national sickness?
A．Walking too much
B．Traveling too much
C．Driving cars too much
D．Climbing stairs too much．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】

阅读短文， 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Last December, Doris Low turned 90． Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National
Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto, where she helps transform literature into Braille(盲文) to
bring the power of story and knowledge to the hears and minds of blind readers． She has been
volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises foe more than 40 years．
After working in the business world for a while, Low got fed up． So she turned to teaching
at a technical school and later moved into the library．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Low’s mother liked reading． As her eyes began to fail, low read to her． Then “ hearing an
advertisement encouraging people to learn Braille, I decided to give it a try．” In 1973, she was
certified as a braille transcriber (转译者) and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the
CNIB library．
The job was strenuous ―she could get to the end of a page, make a mistake on the last line,
and have to do the whole thing again． For a number of years, low also worked in the CNIB sound
studio reading books onto tape．Three years ago, she took up proofreading (校对) at the CNIB’s
word factory．
In
April,
during
Volunteer
Week, the
CNIB
recognized Low
for
her great
contributions．Thanks to volunteers like Low, the CNIB library has got more than 80,000
accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print． “ I can’t imagine how many
readers of all ages have benefited from Doris’s contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich
voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread
over the years ― and she is still doing so,” said a CNIB official．
“For me,” said Low, “the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer．Three thins matter
most in my life: a little play, a little work, a little love． I’ve found them all here．”
56．What does Low still do at the age of 90 at the CNIB? ( no more than 10 words)
57．why did Low learn Braille? ( no more than 15 words)
58．what does the underlined word “strenuous” most probably mean?(1 word)
59．What are Low’s contributions to the CNIB? ( no more than 10 words)
60．What do you think of Low? Give your reasons．( no more than 20 words)

2014 年全国高考试题独家解析(天津卷)
英语答案
1．C【解析】句意：给我一个机会，我会给你一个惊喜。从句子的意思来看，前后两句为顺
承关系。“祈使句+and+陈述句”，两个分句之间是顺承关系，其中祈使句可以是名词
短语。
2．B【解析】—好吧。我马上给你修电脑。—哦，你慢慢来,我不着急。答语中的take your time
表明，答话人不想催促对方，因此选B 项，表示“我不着急”。A 项表示“我受不了”，
与语境不符；C 项“好主意”，用于接受请求和邀请；D 项“我对此不感兴趣”，与语境
不符。
3．A【解析】句意：风能是目前世界上发展最快的能源。根据句中的wind 和power 可知，
这里指的是能源，source of power“能源”，故选A 项。sense 表示“感觉，意识”；result
“结果”；root“根，起因”。
4．D【解析】句意：一旦你开始以更健康的方式饮食，控制体重将变得更加容易。once 可
作为从属连词，表示“一旦”，连接一个表示时间的状语从句，从句中常用一般现在时
表将来。故选D。
5．A【解析】从本句中的took the dress out of 和tried it on 可知，她急于试这件衣服，句中
的it didn't fit 表明这件衣服不合适，因此这里用不定式表示“出乎意料的结果”。
6．B【解析】句意：除了学校，村里还有一个诊所，这个诊所也是政府帮助修建的，in addition
to“除……之外”，其中的to 为介词。题干中的the village has a clinic 表明“村里除了
学校之外，还有一个诊所”。In reply to“答复”；in charge of“负责，管理”；in place of
“代替”。
7．C 【解析】本句中的主语the book 与动词write 之间是动宾关系，即“书是被写的”，由
句意可知，这本书已经出版，因此用过去分词，表示被动。
8．A【解析】第一空后的名词ocean 在本句中表示泛指，故用an；第二空后的strong-willed
是形容词，“定冠词+形容词”表示“一类人或事物”，因此用the。
9．B【解析】句意：我父母一直认为我接受良好的教育非常重要。attach importance/value to
是一个固定搭配，表示“认为……很重要／很有价值”。
10．A【解析】——你学英语有多久了？——大约四个月。——你不是认真的吧！你的英文
太捧了。题干中的About four months 和Your English is so good 表明问话人不相信，因
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
此选A 项，表示“你不是认真的吧”。B 项“你说对了”；C 项“我完全赞同”；D 项“我
遇到困难了”，均与语境不符。
11．C【解析】句意：在所有准备工作就绪以后我们才开始工作。在时间，条件状语从句中，
可以用一般现在时、现在完成时表将来。从句中的动作make 要先于主句谓语动词的
动作start 之前发生，应用现在完成时表将来。故选C 项。
12．B【解析】分析句子结构可知，这是一个主从复合句，因此排除C、D 项，从句中的谓
语动词uses 是单数，因此排除A 项，each of which 引导非限制性定语从句。
13．D【解析】句意：这两个国家即将会面以消除他们之间的一些贸易障碍。由题干中的some
barriers 可知，这里指“消除”，故选break down。A 项“组成，编造”；B 项“用尽”；
C 项“拒绝”与句意不符。
14．A【解析】分析句子结构可知，think 后是一个复合宾语从句，该从句中含有主语从句和
定语从句，主语从句中缺少主语，因此排除B 项，这里没有范围，可排除C 项，由
句意可知，这里不指人，因此排除D 项。
15．D【解析】句意：要是他赶上了上午的火车，他就不会开会迟到了。这是一个省略if 的
虚拟语气条件句，将句子还原后为If he had caught the morning train。主句中的would
not have been late 则暗示这里是对过去情况的假设，虚拟条件句中，如含有were，
had，should，could 等，且省略if 时，常用倒装。因此选D 项。
16．B 由下文母亲比喻作者跳级的问题可知，母亲要升职，但是要到巴西工作。promote 意
为“提升，晋升”。
17．C 本句中的“allowing you to skip a grade（跳级）”表明老师说孩子做得好，因此选well。
18．A 因为需要跳到高一个年级学习，所以要离开昔日的朋友。
19．C 根据上文的“I was puzzled”可知，作者对这个问题不是很清楚，因此这个问题让作
者思考了后半夜。keep me wondering 表示“使我冥思苦想”。
20．D 根据第三段中的“the tough choices”可知，这里指成年人必须作的艰难决定。
21．A 下文中作者谈到想告诉母亲他每天的事情，由此可知，他每天晚上着急地等候电话响。
22．B 上文提到了母亲离开家到巴西工作，因此母亲不在这里。presence 表示“出席，到场”。

择。balance 是及物动词，表示“使均衡”。
27．C 在困难面前，她过去常常告诉作者。faced with 表示“面临”。

可知，应用满腔的热情、积极的态度去应对困难。
29．D 回到家中，作者经常提醒自己母亲能做到的，他也能做到。remind 表示“提醒”。
30．A 作者到巴西时，母亲已经在那里生活了一段时间，因此选manage。manage to do sth.
表示“设法做成了某事”。
31．C 看到母亲一个人生活在巴西，作者认为自己也能学会独立。
32．D 作者学着照顾自己，并制定高的但可以实现的目标，句中的“set”和“achievable”

活的经历。

祸得福。blessing“幸事，福气”符合语境。

low． He couldn’t read his own handwriting． 22 he was a bright student． He discussed
adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension． His work in no way reflected his 23 ．
So when Simon’s mother entered the room， my palms(手掌心) were sweating． I was
completely 24 for her kisses on both my cheeks． “I came to thank you，” she said，
surprising me beyond speech． 25 me， Simon had become a different person． He talked
of how he 26 me， he had began to make friends， and for the first time in his twelve years，
he had 27 spent an afternoon at a friend’s house． She wanted to tell me how grateful she

I sat， stunned (惊呆)， for about half an hour， 29 what had just happened． How

That was it． From that day on， Simon had sat up straighter， paid more attention， 36 more，
and became happy． And it was all because he 37 to be the last kid in the last row． The boy

A
Wealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time． Call it the piggy bank strategy(策
略)． There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container．
Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps． I f you wished to climb a 12，
000-foot mountain， and could do it a day at a time， you would only have to climb 33 feet daily
to reach the top in a year． If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion，
to collect the $15，000 cost， you have to save $3．93 a day． If you drop that into a piggy bank
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
and then once a year put $1，434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax， you will have
your trip money．
When I was a child， my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that， if I wanted
something， I should save money to buy it． We associate piggy banks with children， but in
many countries， the little containers are also popular with adults． Europeans see a piggy bank
as a sign of good fortune and wealth． Around the world， many believe a gift of a piggy bank on
New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success． Ah， but you have to put something in it．
Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank， which is bigger and
holds more coins? In the Middle Ages， before modern banking and credit instruments， people
saved money at home， a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish． Potters(制陶工) made
these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg，” and folks saved
coins in pygg jars．The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”． While the Saxons pronounced
pygg， referring to the clay， as “pug”， eventually the two words changed into the same
pronunciation， sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy． As the word became less associated with the
orange clay and more with the animal， a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig，
delighting children and adults． The piggy bank was born．
Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money， bringing in a sense of seriousness
into savings． While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving， adults often need to
relearn childhood lessons． Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money---
college education， weddings， cars， medical care， starting a business， buying a home，
and fun stuff like great trips． So when you have money， take off the top 10%， put it aside，
save and invest wisely．
41．What is the piggy bank strategy?
A． Paying 1% income tax at a time．
B． Setting a goal before making a travel plan．
C． Aiming high even when doing small things．
D． Putting aside a little money regularly for future use．
42．Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?
A．To delight him with the latest fashion． B．To encourage him to climb mountains．
C．To help him form the habit of saving． D．To teach him English pronunciation．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
43．What does then underlined word “something”(Paragraph 3) most probably refer to?
A． Money B． Gifts C． Financial success D． Good luck
44．The piggy ban originally was _________．
A．a potter’s instrument B． a cheap clay container
C．an animal-shaped dish D． a pig-like toy for children
45． The last paragraph talks about ________．
A． the seriousness of educating children B． the enjoyment of taking a great trip
C． the importance of managing money D． the difficulty of starting a business
B
Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing
business in some countries．
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly． They often stand close when talking and it is common
for them to touch the person on the shoulder． People often greet each other (particularly
women) with light cheek kisses． Schedules tend to be flexible， with business meetings
sometimes starting later than planned． But to be safe， be on time． Meals can stretch for hours
—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil． Lunches also can start in the mid to late
afternoon． Brazilians are social， preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone
calls．
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small，
polite bow． Business cards should be offered and received with two hands． Arriving late is
considered disrespectful． So be on time． Efficiency(效率) is the goal， so meetings and dealings
often are fast-paced． Singaporeans are direct in their discussions， even when the subject is
about money． Rank is important and authority is respected． This determines both people
interact in meetings． For example， people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a
higher rank．
In the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE， status is important， so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with
their titles． The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere． So， do not pull away the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
handshake． Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress． Men also tend to be
covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees． People do not avoid entertaining in
their homes， but they also hold business meals at restaurants． Touching or passing food or
eating with your left hand is to be avoided． When meetings are one-to-one， if your host offers
you coffee， you should refuse． It might seem odd， but it is a cultural tradition． Coffee should
only be accepted if it is always set out or presented．
In Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name． They also are respectful

Last summer， two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Montana， to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco． The houses were made of
wood． These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil； now
they hold Twitter engineers．
The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd love affair with “low technology，” a
concept associated with the natural world， and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists
long before the Internet era． Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so， to take advantage of
it， Internet companies have had to get creative． The rescued wood cottages， fitted by hand
in the late eighteen-hundreds， are an obvious example， but Twitter’s designs lie on the
extreme end． Other companies are using a broader interpretation (阐释) of low technology that
focuses on nature．
Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees， so that employees can “work and
socialize in a more natural， park-like setting．” At Google’s office， an entire floor is carpeted in
glass． Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail．
Olle Lundberg， the founder of Lundberg Design， has worked with many tech companies
over the years． “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives， and our tech engineers
are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) ， because they’re surrounded by the digital
world，” he says． “They’re looking for a way to regain their individual identity， and we’ve found
that introducing real crafts is one way to do that．”
This craft based theory is rooted in history， William Morris， the English artist and writer，
turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties ， just after the Industrial
Revolution． The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines． “Without creative
human occupation， people became disconnected from life，” Morris said．
Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities． In
Japan，patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe，” taking walks through woods to lower their
blood pressure．
These health benefits apply to the workplace as well． Rachel Kaplan， a professor of
environmental psychology， has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural
environment． Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple
views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying． If low-tech
offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
fine， bring on the cottages．
50．The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that ________．

D． Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology
51．Low technology is regarded as something that _______．

A city child’s summer is spent in the street in front of his home， and all through the long
summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the
block play baseball． I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing
—not out of special cruelty， but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it． They
were right， of course．
I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed． The baseball
ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark． Then it was the custom of the boys to retire
to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
become theirs． No grownup ever sat there or attempted to． There the boys would sit， mostly
talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow． Then
long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one． It was just after one of
those long silences that my life as an outsider changed． I can no longer remember which boy it
was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question: but whoever he was， I nod to
him gratefully now ． “What’s in those books you’re always reading?” he asked
casually． “Stories，” I answered． “What kind?” asked somebody else without much interest．
Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did，for usually I just sat there in silence， glad
enough to be allowed to remain among them； but instead of answering his question， I told
them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment． The book was Sister Carrie． They
listened bug-eyed and breathless． I must have told it well， but I think there was another and
deeper reason that made them to keep an audience． Listening to a tale being told in the dark is
one of the most ancient of man’s entertainments， but I was offering them as well， without
being aware of doing it， a new and exciting experience．
The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or G．A．Henty． I had
read them too， but at thirteen I had long since left them behind． Since I was much alone I had
become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series． In those days
there was no reading material between children’s and grownups’ books or I could find none． I
had gone right from Tome Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister
Carrie． Dreiser had hit my young mind， and they listened to me tell the story with some of the
wonder that I had had in reading it．
The next night and many nights thereafter，a kind of unspoken ritual (仪式) took place． As
it grew dark， I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evening’s
tale． Some nights， in order to taste my victory more completely， I cheated． I would stop at
the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte， and without warning tell them
that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following
evening． It was not true， of course； but I had to make certain of my new-found power and
position． I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall． Other words of
mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences， but for that tough and
athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store， I have an unreasoning love that
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
will last forever．
55．Watching the boys playing baseball， the writer must have felt ________．
A． bitter and lonely B． special and different
C． pleased and excited D． disturbed and annoyed
56．The writer feels grateful even now to the boy who asked the question because the boy
________．
A． invited him to join in their game
B． liked the book that he was reading
C． broke the long silence of that summer evening
D． offered him an opportunity that changed his life
57．According to Paragraph 3， story-telling was popular among the boys basically because
________．
A．the story was from a children’s book
B．listening to tales was an age-old practice
A． the boys had few entertainments after dark
D．the boys didn’t read books by themselves
58．The boys were attracted to Sister Carrie because ________．
A．it was written by Theodore Dreiser B．it was specifically targeted at boys
C．it gave them a deeper feeling of pleasure D．it talked about the wonders of the world
59．Sometimes the writer stopped at the most exciting part of a story to _______．
A．play a mean trick on the boys B．experience more joy of achievement

B．Friendship is built upon respect for each other．
C．Reading is more important than playing games．
D．Adult habits are developed from childhood．

Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors
Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water：we don’t know how much we
depend on them until we don’t have them． They make our lives more pleasant and give us a
sense of who we are， both as an individual and as a member of the community． Here ‘s how to
develop your relationships with these very important people in your life．
61．_________ Often neighbors don’t even know each other’s names． But it’s okay to be the
one to break the ice ， even if you’ve lived next door for years．Most neighbors enjoy making
small talk with the folks on the other side of the fence． So as you see them at work in their
yards， smile， wave， and say hello． Ask how their kids are (whether they’re babies or in
college)， whether they could use an extra cucumber from your garden， or what they think
of the price at the local supermarket．
62．_________ These days， the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of the past． But your new
neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure， especially if they’re far from home， and might
appreciate a friendly face bearing fresh-baked chocolate cakes． If they have kids， tell them
where the children in the neighborhood live．Recommend the best places to eat and
sleep． Invite them over for coffee or tea when they get settled， give them your number，
and point to your house as you say good-bye．
63．__________ Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor， such as tools， in good
repair and as soon as you’ve finished with them． Replace anything that belongs to your
neighbor that you， your children， or your pets break or soil． Make sure that your car is
not blocking their doorway． Such random acts of consideration will have your neighbors
talking — and the talk will be good．
64．__________ If you value a friendship with your neighbors， spend time with them． What
better way to meet your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue， pool
party， or holiday open house? Better yet， you might even consider throwing a
get-together in their honor． Deliver the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your
street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house． This way，
you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for appropriate food
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
and music．
65．___________ In a good relationship， it’s really the little things that count． Help to bring in
the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain． When your neighbor forgets
to take in his rubbish cans， roll them back into his yard．If you’re truly concerned， you’ll
know when your neighbor needs some cheering up — a bunch of flowers or a helping
hand when it’s needed．All it takes to develop your relationship with neighbors is the respect
for their feelings．

①考查时态。此处只是对过去事实的描述，故用一般过去时。
②考查形容词。此处be 动词后面应用形容词作表语。
③考查时态。根据上下文可知此处要用一般过去时。
④考查连词。前后句之间是顺承关系，故用并列连词and。
⑤考查介词。search for“搜寻，找寻”，后接要我的对象，故此处需加介词for。
⑥考查冠词或代词。此处的owner 指的是车票的所有者，所以应该用its 或者用定冠词the
表示特指。
⑦考查冠词。根据上下文语境可知，此处指丢失的那张车票，故应用定冠词the 表示特指。
⑧考查副词。修饰谓语动词应用副词previously。
⑨考查名词的数。这里指车票的主人，故要用单数。
⑩考查固定搭配。in need“在困难中”，是固定搭配。
【范文赏析】
Dear Mr．Wang，
Knowing that our library is going to buy books， I’d like to give some suggestions．
What we need most are popular science books． Usually popular science books explain
basic principles of nature in a simple and interesting way． They help us understand science
subjects better and arouse our curiosity about scientific discoveries．
In addition to reading for knowledge， we read for fun and inspiration． That is why I
recommend another category of books：literary books． Classic works， written by masters，
present great thoughts through fascinating stories and language． They not only offer us joy and
excitement， but also encourage us to think critically．
I’ll be glad if you can consider my recommendation．
Yours sincerely，

My Stay in New York
After graduation from university， I had been unable to secure a permanent job in my small
town． So I decided to leave home for New York， 25 _____I might have a better chance to
find a good job． 26 _____ (earn) some money to pay the daily expenses， I started work in a

at once．
Over time， the high cost of living became a little burden on my already 28 _____ (exhaust)
shoulder． On the other hand， my search for a respectable job had not met with much
success． As I had studied literature at university， I found it quite difficult to secure a suitable job
in big companies． Mother had just said that 29______ I want to have a better career advancement，
I had to find work in the city． Perhaps 30 ______my mother had told me was deeply rooted in
my mind． I just did as she had expected．
Soon I had lived in the city for over six months but I still did not like it． Apparently， I had
difficulty 31______ (adapt) myself to life in the city， let alone finding a job to my delight． After
nine months of frustration， I eventually decided to go back to my small town． Not until I
returned 32______I realize that a quiet town life was the best for me．
(B)
The giant vending machine (自动售货机) is a new village shop
Villagers have long been used to facing a drive when they run out of basic
supplies． However， help is now nearer at hand in form of the country’s first automatic
push-button shop． Now residents in the Derbyshire Village of Clifton can buy groceries around
the clock after the huge vending was installed outside a pub in the village this week．
Peter Fox， who is 33 ______electrical engineer， spent two and a half years working

like a mini shop with a brick front， a grey roof and a display window．
Mr． Fox said he hoped his invention， 35 _____ is set to be installed in other villages in
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
the area over the coming months， will mark a return to convenience shopping for rural
communities．
He said:“ I had this idea a few years ago but I couldn’t find a manufacture who could deliver

machine． Yet I think the term “automatic shop” is far 37______ (appropriate)

village shops across the country to close． In 2010， it was estimated that about 400 village shops
closed， 39______ (urge) the local government to give financial support to struggling shops or
set-up new communities stores．
Hundreds of communities have since stepped in and opened up their won volunteer-run shops，
but Mr． Fox hopes his new invention will offer a solution 40______these villages without a
local shop．
Section B
Directions：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box．Each word can only be
used once．Note that there is one word more than you need．
A．alert B．classify C．commit D．delicately E．gentle F．impose
G．labels H．moderation I．relieve J．signals K．simply
Let's say you've decided you want to eat more healthfully． However， you don't have time
to carefully plan menus for meals or read food 41 at the supermarket． Since you
really 42 yourself to a healthier lifestyle， a little help would come in handy， wouldn't it?
This is where a "choice architect" can help 43 some of the burden of doing it all
yourself． Choice architects are people who organize the contexts in which customers make
decisions． For example， the person who decides the layout of your local supermarket-including
which shelf the peanut butter goes on， and how the oranges are piled up—is a choice architect．
Governments don't have to 44 healthier lifestyles through laws for example，
smoking bans． Rather， if given an environment created by a choice architect-one that
encourages us to choose what is best-we will do the right things． In other words， there will be
designs that gently push customers toward making healthier choices， without removing freedom
of choice． This idea combines freedom to choose with 45 hints from choice architects，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
who aim to help people live longer， healthier， and happier lives．
The British and Swedish governments have introduced a so-called "traffic light system" to _
46 foods as healthy or unhealthy． This means that customers can see at a glance how much
fat， sugar， and salt each product contains 47 by looking at the lights on the
package． A green light 48 that the amounts of the three nutrients are healthy； yellow
indicates that the customer should be 49 ； and red means that the food is high in at
least one of the three nutrients and should be eaten in 50 ． The customer is given
important health information， but is still free to decide what to choose．
Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions：For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A，B，
C and D．Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context．
Research has shown that two-thirds of human conversation is taken up not with discussion of
the cultural or political problems of the day， not heated debates about films we've just watched or
books we've just finished reading， but plain and simple __ 51 __．
Language is our greatest treasure as a species， and what do we __ 52 __ do with it? We
gossip． About others' behaviour and private lives， such as who's doing what with whom， who's
in and who's out-and why； how to deal with difficult __ 53 __ situations involving children，
lovers， and colleagues．
So why are we keen on gossiping? Are we just natural __ 54 __， of both time and
words? Or do we talk a lot about nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the really
important issues of life? It's not the case according to Professor Robin Dunbar． In fact， in his
latest book， Grooming， Gossip and the Evolution of Language， the psychologist says gossip
is one of these really__ 55 __issues．
Dunbar __ 56 __ the traditional view that language was developed by the men at the early
stage of social development in order to organize their manly hunting activities more effectively，
or even to promote the exchange of poetic stories about their origins and the supernatural． Instead
he suggests that language evolved among women． We don't spend two-thirds of our time
gossiping just because we can talk， argues Dunbar—__ 57 __， he goes on to say， language
evolved specifically to allow us to gossip．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Dunbar arrived at his cheery theory by studying the __ 58 __ of the higher primates(灵
长类动物)like monkeys． By means of grooming--cleaning the fur by brushing it， monkeys form
groups with other individuals on whom they can rely for support in the event of some kind of
conflict within the group or__ 59 __ from outside it．
As we human beings evolve from a particular branch of the primate family， Dunbar __
60 __ that at one time in our history we did much the same． Grouping together made sense
because the bigger the group， the greater the __ 61 __ it provided； on the other hand， the
bigger the group， the greater the stresses of living close to others． Grooming helped to __ 62
__ the pressure and calm everybody down．
But as the groups got bigger and bigger， the amount of time spent in grooming activities
also had to be __ 63 __ to maintain its effectiveness． Clearly， a more __ 64 __ kind of
grooming was needed， and thus language evolved as a kind of vocal(有声的)grooming which
allowed humans to develop relationship with ever-larger groups by exchanging information over a
wider network of individuals than would be possible by one-to-one __ 65 __ contact．

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Section B
Directions：Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D．Choose the
one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read．
(A)
Most people agree that honesty is a good thing． But does Mother Nature agree? Animals
can't talk， but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal
experts may not call it lying， but they do agree that many animals， from birds to chimpanzees，
behave dishonestly to fool other animals． Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive．
Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals． For example， a bird
called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young． When a predator(猎
食动物)gets close to its nest， the plover leads the predator away from the nest． How? It pretends
to have a broken wing． The predator follows the "hurt" adult， leaving the baby birds safe in the
nest．
Another kind of bird， the scrub jay， buries its food so it always has something to
eat． Scrub jays are also thieves． They watch where others bury their food and steal it． But
clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them． So they go back later， unbury the
food， and bury it again somewhere else．
Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work． How?
They don't make nests． Instead， they get into other birds' nests secretly． Then they lay their
eggs and fly away． When the baby birds come out， their adoptive parents feed them．
Chimpanzees， or chimps， can also be sneaky． After a fight， the losing chimp will give
its hand to the other． When the winning chimp puts out its hand， too， the chimps are friendly
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
again． But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting
again．
Chimps are sneaky in other ways， too． When chimps find food that they love， such as
bananas， it is natural for them to cry out． Then other chimps come running． But some clever
chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food． That way， other chimps don't hear
them， and they don't need to share their food．
As children， many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature．" But maybe you
can't trust her， either．
66．A plover protects its young from a predator by______．
A．getting closer to its young
B．driving away the adult predator
C．leaving its young in another nest
D．pretending to be injured
67．By "Chimpanzees，or chimps，can also be sneaky" (paragraph 5)，the author means___．
A．chimps are ready to attack others
B．chimps are sometimes dishonest
C．chimps are jealous of the winners
D．chimps can be selfish too
68．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others．
B．The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand．
C．Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests．
D．Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back．
69．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．Do animals lie?
B．Does Mother Nature fool animals?
C．How do animals learn to lie?
D．How does honesty help animals survive?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
(B)
Let's say you want to hit the
gym
more
regularly
this
year． How do you make that
happen? Consider putting the
habit loop to use．
Here's how it works:
A
habit
is
a
3-step
process． First， there's a cue，
something that tells your brain to
operate automatically ． Then
there's a routine． And finally，
a reward， which helps your
brain
learn
to
desire
the
behavior． It's what you can use
to create-or break-habits of your
own．
Here's how to apply it:
Choose a cue， like leaving
your running shoes by the door，
then pick． a reward-say， a
piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym． That way， the cue and the reward become
interconnected． Finally， when you see the shoes， your brain will start longing for the reward，
which will make it easier to work out day after day． The best part? In a couple of weeks， you
won't need the chocolate at all． Your brain will come to see the workout itself as the
reward． Which is the whole point， right?
70．Which of the following best fits in the box with a “?” in THE HABIT LOOP?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．Pick a new cue． B．Form a new habit．
C．Choose a new reward． D．Design a new resolution．
71．According to THE HABIT LOOP， you can stick to your plan most effectively by__．
A．changing the routine B．trying it for a week
C．adjusting your goal D．writing it down
72．What's the purpose of putting the habit loop to use?
A．To test out different kinds of cues．
B．To do something as a habit even without rewards．
C．To work out the best New Year's resolution．
D．To motivate yourself with satisfactory rewards．
73．“This year when I see the Harry Potter poster， I will read 30 pages of an English novel or an
English newspaper in order to watch TV for half an hour．" What is the cue in this resolution?
A．The Harry Potter poster． B．Reading 30 pages of an English novel．
C．An English newspaper． D．Watching TV for half an hour．
(C)
If you could be anybody in the world， who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A
few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person， thanks
to an unusual virtual reality(虚拟现实)device． Rikke Wahl， an actress， model and artist， was
one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab， a project developed
by a group of artists based in Barcelona． She swapped with her partner， an actor， using a
machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man． "As I looked down，
I saw my whole body as a man， dressed in my partner's pants，" she said． "That's the picture I
remember best．"
The set-up is relatively simple． Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on
the top． The video from each camera is sent to the other person， so what you see is the exact
view of your partner． If she moves her arm， you see it． If you move your arm， she sees it．
To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it，
participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly， so that the other can follow
along． Eventually， this kind of slow synchronised(同步的)movement becomes comfortable，
and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's body．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the
better． Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias(偏
见)that humans have against those who don't look or sound like them． Researchers at the
University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test， which
measures the strength of people's associations between， for instance， black people and
adjectives such as good， bad， athletic or awkward． Then they asked them to control the body
of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses， before taking the test again． This
time， the participants' bias scores were lower． The idea is that once you've "put yourself in
another's shoes" you're less likely to think ill of them， because your brain has internalised the
feeling of being that person．
The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result． "At the end of
body swapping， people feel like holding each other in their arms，" says Arthur Pointeau， a
programmer with the project． "It's a really nice way to have this kind of experience． I would
really， really recommend it to everyone．"
74．The word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to______．
A．building B．exchanging C．controlling D．transplanting
75．We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that______．
A．our feelings are related to our bodily experience
B．we can learn to take control of other people's bodies
C．participants will live more passionately after the experiment
D．The Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes
76．In the Implicit Association Test， before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control
a dark skinned digital character， ______．
A．they fought strongly against racism
B．they scored lower on the test for racism
C．they changed their behaviour dramatically
D．they were more biased against those unlike them
77．It can be concluded from the passage that______．
A．technology helps people realize their dreams
B．our biases could be eliminated through experiments
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．virtual reality helps promote understanding among people
D．our points of view about others need changing constantly
Section C
Directions：Read the passage carefully．Then answer the questions or complete the statements in
the fewest possible words．
More and more corporations are taking an interest in corporate social responsibility
(CSR)． CSR is made up of three broad layers． The most basic is traditional corporate charity
work． Companies typically spend about 1% of pre-tax profits on worthy projects． But many feel
that simply writing cheques to charities is no longer enough． In some companies， shareholders
want to know that their money is being put to good use， and employees want to be actively
involved in good works．
Money alone is not the answer when companies come under attack for their
behavior． Hence the second layer of CSR， which is a branch of risk management． Starting in
the 1980s， with environmental disasters such as the explosion at Bhopal and the Exxon Valdez oil
spill， industry after industry has suffered blows to its reputation．
So ， companies often responded by trying to manage the risks ． They talk to
non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and to governments， create codes of conduct(行为准则)
and devote themselves to more transparency(透明)in their operations． Increasingly， too． they，
along with their competitors， set common rules to spread risks．
All this is largely defensive，but there are also opportunities for those that get ahead of the
game．The emphasis on opportunity is the third layer of CSR: the idea that it can help to create
value．If approached in a strategic way，CSR could become part of a company's competitive
advantage． That is just the sort of thing chief executives like to hear． The idea of "doing well by
doing good" has become popular．
Nevertheless ，the business of trying to be good is bringing difficult questions to
executives．Can you measure CSR performance? Should you be cooperating with NGOs and
you’re your competitors? Is there any really competitive advantage to be had from a green
strategy?
Corporate social responsibility is now seen as a mainstream． Big companies want to tell the
world about their good citizenship with their devotion to social responsibilities． Done badly，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
CSR is often just window-dressing and can be positively harmful． Done well， though， it is not
some separate activity that companies do on the side， a corner of corporate life reserved for
virtue(美德)：it is just good business．
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)
78．Both _________ in some companies find it no longer enough to simply donate money to
charities．
79．Give one example of the defensive measures of risk management according to the passage．
80．With the emphasis on opportunity， the third layer of CSR is meant to_________．
81．According to the passage， "good business" (paragraph 6) means that corporations ________
while making profits．

Ⅱ．Guided Writing
【范文赏读】
Dear Editor，
I’ve learned that our English Post is being reformed and one of the three columns is to be
replaced by a new one． I’m writing this e-mail to share with you my opinions．
Needless to say， the columns will definitely be designed according to students’ interest and
have positive effects on their study and life．
Compared to the entertainment ， I hold the view that the value of the columns concerning
health and culture is more important ． The main factor is that it is of great significance to keep
healthy while loss of health means kissing goodbye to life． Consequently， more knowledge of
how to keep fit can improve the quality of life． In addition， the progress in acquiring cultures
contributes to broadening one’s horizons， which in turn is beneficial to one’s study and the
establishment of philosophy of life．
Furthermore， the career planning should be taken into account in the school English
Post ． On the one hand， it covers one’s career development a great deal ．On the other hand，
it makes a great difference to one’s career success in the future．
What has been mentioned above is my personal ideas． Here I am in the hope that my advice
will add a brilliant touch to the improved version of our school English Post．
Yours sincerely，
Cheng Fei

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there
was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing
one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks
together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied
chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.
Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However,
when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't
have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined
Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards,
Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant.
The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she
thought it was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for
themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business.
They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family
members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the
business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to
succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the
strength of the family, there is no business."
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three
generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20
million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams,
and they worked together. Now they are a big success.

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information,

In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She
and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first
experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first
group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The
second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second
group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could
find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told
them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific
computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location
(位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember
the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive
memory (交互记忆)"
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a
result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive
memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of
information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we
are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we
use memory is changing.
64．The passage begins with two questions to ______.
A．introduce the main topic
B．show the author's altitude
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．describe how to use the Interne.
D．explain how to store information
65．What can we learn about the first experiment?
A． The Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.
B． The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C． The first group did not try to remember the information.
D． The second group did not understand the information.
66．In transactive memory, people ______.
A．keep the information in mind
B．change the quantity of information
C．organize information like a computer
D．remember how to find the information
67．What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?
A．We are using memory differently.
B．We are becoming more intelligent.
C．We have poorer memories than before.
D．We need a better way to access information.

There are an extremely large number of ants worldwide. Each individual (个体
的) ant hardly weigh anything, but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of
mankind. They also live nearly everywhere, except on frozen mountain tops and
around the poles. For animals their size, ants have been astonishingly successful,
largely due to their wonderful social behavior.
In colonies (群体) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions, they
organize their lives with a clear division of labor. Even more amazing is how they
achieve this level of organization. Where we use sound and sight to communicate,
ants depend primarily on pheromone (外激素), chemicals sent out by individuals and
smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony. When an ant finds food, it
produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is. When an
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
individual ant comes under attack or is dying, it sends out an alarm pheromone to
warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.
In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal. They are completely
fearless and will readily take on a creature much larger than themselves, attacking in
large groups and overcoming their target. Such is their devotion to the common good
of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives
to help defeat an enemy.
Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner, these little creatures have
survived on Earth, for more than 140 million years, far longer than dinosaurs.
Because they think as one, they have a collective (集体的) intelligence greater than
you would expect from its individual parts.
68．We can learn from the passage that ants are ____________.
A．not willing to share food
B．not found around the poles
C．more successful than all other animals
D．too many to achieve any level of organization
69．Ants can use pheromones for______.
A．escape B．communication
C．warning enemies D．arranging labor
70．What does the underlined expression "take on" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Accept.
B．Employ. C．Play with.
D．Fight against.
71．Which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants?
A．Their behavior. B．Their size. C．Their number. D．Their weight
E
Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing
bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust.
Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or
culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat
them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
村的) and urban areas within one country.
Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner
table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays
and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of
cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of
sharing bread.
Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the
southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity
(兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A
coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the
person who receives it.
Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can
play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and
welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests.
In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at
welcome celebrations to represent family unity.
Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an
important part of different cultures around the world.
72．According to the passage, sharing bread______.
A．indicates a lack of food
B．can help to develop unity
C． is a custom unique to rural areas
D．has its roots in birthday celebrations
73．What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year?
A．Trust. B．Success. C．Health. D．Togetherness.
74．The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______.
A．using examples
B．making comparisons
C．analyzing causes
D．describing processes
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
75．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The custom of sharing food. B．The specific meaning of food.
C．The role of food in ceremonies.
D．The importance of food in culture.
第Ⅱ卷
第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分35 分)
第一节任务型读写(共10 小题；每小题1 分，满分10 分)
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每
个空格只填一个单词。
Pup a group of strangers in a room together, and they'll probably start a
conversation. "Hot today, isn't it?" one might say. "You said it." another replies.
Why do we talk so much about the weather? When we meet new people, we
don't begin by telling them our life story. We start with small talk, a polite
conversation about something like traffic or weather.
Research suggests that small talk can build new friendships. When we begin
conversations with new people, we want to feel comfortable, and so do they. We use
small talk to find common interests. Once we have a common interest, a friendship
can begin.
Small talk even helps people get hired. In order to impress at a job interview,
you need to bond with the interviewer right away. Proper small talk can make that
first impression get you the job.
So, how can you make small talk lead to a new friendship or job? First off, find
common ground. Select something around you that you share with the other person.
Next, keep the conversation going. Compliment (赞美) the other person to
make him or her feel comfortable, and ask questions to show interest.
Third, keep eye contact (接触). When you look people in the eye, they feel you
appreciate what they are saying. It makes you appear honest and builds trust.
Naturally, shy people might not have enough confidence to start up
conversations with strangers. Talking to someone you don't know is not the easiest
thing to do! Some experts say with more practice, small talk does get easier.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Some people avoid small talk because they dislike discussing things like traffic or
weather. For them, they are just too small. However, when you think about it, small
talk is anything but small. In fact, it is actually a very big deal!

样＂。
22．D 【解析】 develop＂发展，培养＂；create＂创造＂；substitute＂代替＂；
experience＂体验，经历＂。句意：如果你到中国来游览，你将会体验一

23．C 【解析】 本题中前后句应为让步关系，应用though 引导让步状语从句。
句意：尽管科学家们对宇宙已经了解颇深，但是我们仍然有很多未知之
事。
24．B 【解析】 句中realized 为一般过去时，＂我＂把书忘在咖啡馆的动作发
生在realized 之前，即为过去的过去，因此应选择过去完成时。句意：
就在我到达学校门口时，我意识到我把书忘在咖啡馆里了。
25．A 【解析】 空处引导的是表语从句，且从句中的介词for 缺宾语，故排除
连接副词why 和when。再根据句意可排除whom。句意：港口里的船是
安全的，但那不是建造船的目的。
26．C 【解析】 根据because 引导的原因状语从句的内容可知句意：我感激所
有的那些志愿者，因为他们的帮助让我糟糕的一天有了个快乐的结局。
special＂特别的＂；superior＂较高的＂；grateful＂感激的＂；attractlve＂
吸引人的＂。
27.B 【解析】 此题解题关键是要识别出will be 是谓语动词。因此，谓语动词
之前的部分应为句子的主语。动词原形和动词的-ed 形式均不能作主语；
D 项是动词-ing 形式的完成式，表明此动作发生在谓语动词动作之前。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
而结合题干可知，空处与谓语动词之间没有明显的前后顺序，故答案选
B 项。句意：忽视这两项研究发现之间的差异将是你犯的最严重的错误
之一。
28．D 【解析】 Some experts think 是主句，主句之后是省略了连词that 的宾
语从句；在名词skill 之后则是一个由＂介词upon+关系代词＂引导的定

作定语的whose，此处应填入关系代词which o 句意：一些专家认为阅
读是学校教育所依赖的基本技能。
29．B 【解析】 a space station 和build 之间是被动关系，故排除A 和C。in years
to come 意为＂在未来的几年里＂，故用一般将来时的被动语态。句意：

30．A 【解析】 句意：现在没有必要把你的答案告诉我。考虑一下，然后告诉
我。thought＂斟酌，深思＂；support＂支持，支撑＂；protection＂保
护＂；authority＂权威＂。 give sth．some thought 意为＂考虑＂。
3 1．C 【解析】 由句中的＂or through their companies＂可知此处应选Co legally＂
合法地＂；sincerely＂真诚地＂；personally＂亲自＂；deliberately＂故
意地＂。句意：他们或者亲自或者通过公司把钱捐给了敬老院。
32．C 【解析】 句意：幸运的是我们预订了一间房。否则，我们现在就没有待
的地方了。根据语境可知or 之前的句子是陈述语气，是事实；or 之后的
句子是虚拟语气，是与现在事实相反的假设，故用would have。
33．D 【解析】 out of date"过时＂；out of order＂混乱＂；around the clock＂
全天候＂；around the corner＂即将来临＂。句意：他们相信交通发展即
将来临，将会带来很多好的变化。

的社会的原因。由此可知此句是总领性的句子——我们是怎样变成一次
性物品充斥的社会的。
39．C 【解析】 因为此文谈及的是一次性物品充斥的社会。在一次性物品充斥
的社会中，和花时间与金钱修理东西相比，更换一个东西当然要更容易
些。hide＂隐藏＂；control＂控制＂；replace＂取代＂；withdraw＂提取＂。
40．A 【解析】 由于现代制造业和技术，公司可以更快地、更加低成本地生产
东西。thanks to＂幸亏，由于＂。
4 1．C 【解析】 由上一句中的＂produce products quickly and inexpensively"可
知，产品应该是充足的和便宜的。故此空应填cheap。
42．A 【解析】 由第三段可知，人们喜爱一次性产品是因为它可以节约时间，
使人们的生活更轻松。这里表明人们对一次性产品的喜爱是另外一个原
因。prevention＂预防＂；division＂分开，分隔＂。

越新越好＂。

何为新东西腾出空间呢？当然是通过throw away ＂扔掉＂。

此处指的是＂这种抛弃型的生活方式造成的后果＂。advantage＂优点＂；
purpose＂目的＂；function＂功能＂；consequence＂结果，后果＂。

more fluently＂可知答案为D 项。

行评分，故可以推断出Kahoot 可以对语法学习进行评估。

这样的结果呢？作者给出了中肯的建议。
76．Deal

The Boy Made It!
One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine.
In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept
into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew
it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies.
He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all
the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned
to use.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if
he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and
snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill
him.
Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and
dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket,
to stay as warm as he could．
By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from
a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how
much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could — he huddled (蜷缩)
in his cave and slept.
The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He
followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could
die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for
about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow,
Nicholas was saved．
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had
often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips
that saved his life. In each episode(一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in
a wild area and has to find his way out.
When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that
Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to
work to stay alive.
56．What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?
A．He got lost. B．He broke his skis.
C．He hurt his eyes D．He caught a cold.
57. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?
A．He found a shelter. B．He lighted some branches.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．He kept on skiing. D．He built a snow cave.
58．On Tuesday, Nicholas ______.
A．returned to his shelter safely B．was saved by a searcher
C．got stuck in the snow D．stayed where he was
59．Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he ______.
A．did the right things in the dangerous situation
B．watched Grylls’ TV program regularly
C．created some tips for survival

Life in the Clear
Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes
through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and
a depth of about 3,300 feet — as far as most light can reach. Most of them are
extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist
in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch
anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”
And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It’s
trickier than you might think.
The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically
travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter(散射) light, bouncing it
away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both
scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it,
so you can see it easily.
But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much,
Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent
object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it
— you see the things behind it.
To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or
scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素)
that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments,
so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually
easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.
Animals are built of many different materials — skin, fat, and more — and light
moves through each at a different speed． Every time light moves into a material
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to
fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much
tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see—through. Others build a large, clear mass
of non-living jelly-lie(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it .
Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to
make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as
water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown.
One thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process.
When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.
63．According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals_______.
A．stay in groups B．can be easily damaged
C．appear only in deep ocean D．are beautiful creatures
64．The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means__________.
A．silently B．gradually C．regularly D．completely
65．One way for an animal to become transparent is to ________.
A．change the direction of light travel B．gather materials to scatter light.
C．avoid the absorption of light D．grow bigger to stop light.
66．The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals________.
A．move more slowly in deep water
B．stay see-through even after death
C．produce more tissues for their survival
D．take effective action to reduce light spreading
D
Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for
the better. However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often
mistaken for a change in attitudes.
An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children
who are attending college. Surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today
continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
move into college
dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is
greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that
today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this
behavior is
appropriate.
However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that
parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.
In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the
cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If
parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age
children frequently, would this
have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of
frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a
generation
ago?
Many
studies
show
that
older
parents—today’s
grandparents—would have called their children more often if the means and cost of
doing so had not been a barrier.
Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of
communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college
students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests
for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it
is a fact of college life, today and in the past.
Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered
communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem
to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear
in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined
desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.
67．The surveys inform us of______.
A．the development of technology
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．the changes of adult children’s behavior
C．the parents’ over-protection of their college children
D．the means and expenses of students’ communication
68．The writer believes that__________.
A．parents today are more protective than those in the past
B．the disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages
C．technology explains greater involvement with their children
D．parents’ changed attitudes lead to college children’s delayed independence
69．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Technology or Attitude

C．Family Influences or Social Changes
D．College Management or Communication Advancement

This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when
this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad
reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem
forgetful and clumsy. 73 They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us
and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and
achievements in human history. 72 Can you imagine what kind of world we
would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree
roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than
others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. 73 And if
you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re
daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably
something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless
drawings.
It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you
really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people

Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has
moved slowly away. 75
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in
the clouds.
A．Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B．They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
C．Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.
D．At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental
illnesses.
E．It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm
and attentive.
F．Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which
may be hard to understand.
G．Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when
you’re in the daydream zone.

Dear Jim,
How are you these days? Recently, I make a plan to take part in a Dragon Boat
Training Camp so that I can cultivate my interests, broaden my horizons and enrich
my school life.
I want to tell you some details about the camp first. The camp will be held in my
school next Saturday. And many other middle school students will take part in the
camp as well. Therefore, we can communicate with each other very well.
Well, I have two main reasons why I want to join it. The first one is that the
dragon boat race is one of the most important traditions in China. And people
treasure it very much. You can know it’s a very funny and wonderful activity. What’s
more, I can improve myself in the camp and learn many things that can’t be found in
the books.
Would you like to join me? I look forward to your joining very much. Please give
me a reply soon and let me know your decision, OK?
Wish you good luck.
Yours,
Li Hua

【参考范文】
Last weekend was memorable when we had a meaningful and interesting
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
experience on traditional culture.
Early in the morning, a 90-year-old craftsman was invited to our class, bringing a
large suitcase of tools and materials. We all wonder what were in it, clapping our
hands, feeling rather curious.
Then, he sat down to show us the process of making a dough figurine. It was
very kind and patient of him to explain every step of it. So careful were we that we
quickly mastered the way of doing it, starting to make our own “artwork” using a
piece of dough, while the craftsman walked among us to give us instructions.
Half an hour later, we all finished our own pieces, including a Monkey King, a
rabbit, a spacecraft, a princess and so on. Thanks to the craftsman, a sense of
excitement and achievement immediately filled in the classroom.
From this experience, I learned that it is our responsibility as well as our joy to
protect the tradition. What a meaningful day it was!

One school day Alice returned home very late. With a quarrel in view. I was surprised to

“I hope I did the right thing, Mom,” Alice said. “I saw a cat, all bloody but alive. I 19 it

the phone number on the cat’s tag(标牌), I had to pay the bill.”
In the following days, the owner still couldn’t be 21 . Alice paid the vet to continue

请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
At thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊所） with kind of attention disorder. It made school
difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within
45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have
attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”
She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates,
young man.”
I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a
blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But
Louis didn’t give up. Instead, h invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a
whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My
thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed,
I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his
problems, why should I ever give up?
I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these
words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”

D．He learned a lot from school
38．What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?

C．One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.
D．Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.
B
In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply
by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with
more tactics（策略）.
One tactic involves where to display the goods. Foe example, stores place fruits and
vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel
happy so that they will buy more junk food（垃圾食品）later in their trip. In department stores,
section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is
going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they
might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of
baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the
bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain
found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
find that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in the door, and turn it
into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly.
When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and
then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on
both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.
40．Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?
A．To save customers times. B．To show they are high quality foods.
C．To help sell junk food. D．To sell them at discount prices.
41．According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?
A．Opening the store early in the morning.
B．Displaying British wines next to French ones.
C．Inviting customers to play music．
D．Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.
42．What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?
A．The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B．The more costly the house is, the better it sells.
C．An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.
D．A good first impression increases sales.
43．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.
B．To introduces how businesses have grown from the past.
C．To report researches on customer behavior.
D．To show dishonest business practices.

Why not give it a try? Perhaps you should take lessons on a musical instrument. The late
musician Dennis Brian is said to have asked a fellow train passenger to turn off his radio. When
his request was refused, he took out his French horn(号) and started to practice.

I don’t see how musical instruments can help improve manners in public． Don’t do to
others what you wouldn’t like to be done to yourself. Once, a passenger next to me talked out
loud on his mobile phone. I left my seat quietly, giving him some privacy to finish his conversation.
He realized this and apologized to me. When his phone rang again later, he left his seat to answer
it. You see, a bit of respect and cooperation can do the job better.

There are many places to go on safari（观赏野生动物）in Africa, but riding a horse through
the flooded waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world's most exciting
wildlife journeys.
Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a
day to explore deep into the delta． The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and
lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.
The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies,
tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the
splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and
face. It is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it
is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of
excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer
to them.
In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. With golden light
streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though
they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun's rays pass through the dust
kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.
Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking
back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever
come to answering the call of the wild.
48．What does the underlined word "They" refer to?
A．Flooded waters B．Wildlife journey C．Safari camps D．Unique rides
49．What does the author find most exciting about a horse safari?
A．Seeing and feeling the real African life.
B．Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.
C．Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did.
D．Being part of the scene and getting close to animals.
50．What does the underlined word "sedate" probably mean?
A．Wild and romantic
B．Slow and peaceful
C．Hurry and thirsty
D．Active and excited
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
51．The author introduced the riding experience in the Okavango Delta mainly by________.
A．Following space order
B．Following time order
C．Making classifications
D．Giving examples

The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply
reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the
ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.
History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major
language of the world．It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as
Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from
today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in
their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.
In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principles of
taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,” the value of some works of art might be essentially
permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this
type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to
exist over centuries.
Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For
example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting
themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to
experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a
great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.
52．According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?
A．It introduces different cultural values.
B．It explains the history of artistic works.
C．It relates artistic values to local conditions.
D．It excites the human mind throughout the world.
53．In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that ______ .
A．great works of art can go beyond national boundaries
B．history gives art works special appeal to set them apart
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great arts
D．great artists are skilled at combining various cultures
54．According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because ______ .
A．they are results of scientific study
B．they establish some general principles of art
C．they are created by the world’s greatest artists
D．they appeal to unchanging features of human nature
55．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A．Are Artistic Values Universal? B．Are Popular Arts Permanent?
C．Is Human Nature Uniform?
D．Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?

2015 年全国高考试题独家解析(重庆卷)
英语答案
一、单项填空
1．B 【解析】 依据答语中的“No”可知，他在最后一刻改变了主意。语境表明change 这一
动作已经发生，故用一般过去时。
2．B 【解析】 句意：会议要在九月召开，但是没有人知道确切日期。该句由but 连接的
两个并列分句构成。第一个分句说会议将要在九月召开，而转折词but 意味着两个分
句意思相反，故用否定词nobody。
3．C 【解析】 句意：我刚听说Dora 工作的银行被一个戴着面罩的持枪歹徒抢了。第一空，
句中where 引导的定语从句修饰bank，由此可知这里特指Dora 工作的银行，故用定
冠词；第二空，泛指“一个持枪歹徒”，因此用不定冠词。
4．B 【解析】 句意：如果你错过这次机会，可能过很多年才能再有一次机会。该句考查“it
will/may be+一段时间+before…”句式，表示“过多久才……”。
5．A 【解析】 ——我可以开车送你回家。——那太好了，但你确定那样不是特别麻烦吗？
依据答语中的“but”可知答话人同意对方的建议。That would be great 表示“那太好了”；
Don’t bother“不麻烦了”；I’m afraid not“恐怕不行”；Take care“当心，小心”。
6．C 【解析】 句意：生长在格拉斯哥最贫困的地区，他成为一名足球明星的道路漫长而艰
难。raise 与句子的主语he 是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此排除B、D 项，A 项是现在分
词的被动式，表示正在发生，故排除A 项。
7．D 【解析】 句意：没有战争时的经历，海明威不会完成他的著名小说《永别了，武器》。
该句使用了含有without 的含蓄虚拟语气，依据语境可知，这里是对过去情况的假设，
因此主句用would + have done 结构。
8．A 【解析】 句意：我们一定要搞清楚Karl 什么时候来，以便我们给他订房间。由句意
可知，要给Karl 订房间，那么就要清楚他来这里的时间，故选when。
9．C 【解析】 句意：Bach 死于1750 年，但是直到19 世纪早期他的音乐天赋才被完全认
可。but 之后是一个强调not until 引导的时间状语从句的强调句式，故用that。
10．D 【解析】 句意：去年是有记录以来最暖和的一年球气温比平均温度高0. 68 摄氏度。
依据句意可知，去天气非常暖和，因此与往年平均温度相比要高，故above，表示“高
于”。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
11．C 【解析】 句意：就像古代的水手，鸟能利用太阳和星星辨别路。birds 与use 是逻辑
上的主谓关系，并且use 表示的动作与谓语动词find 同时发生，故用现在分词作伴
随状语。
12．A 【解析】 句意：你一定是Carol。这么多年来你一儿没变。依据第二句可知，此处应
用must 表示很有把握的推测，意为“一定，肯定”，只用于肯定句，一般不用否定句
或疑问句。
13．D 【解析】 句意：在我的家乡，每当所有的麦子全收割完毕，农场主们总会吃一次丰
收晚餐。从句中cut 的动作发生在主句动作之前，主句是一般现在时，故该从句使
用一般现在时或现在完成时。
14．B 【解析】 句意：他写了许多儿童读物，几乎有一半的书是在二十世纪九十年代出版
的。逗号之后是一个修饰children’s books 的非限制性定语从句，which 指代children’s
books。
15．D 【解析】 依据问句中的“can I see Ms. Lewis”和答话中的“I’ll tell her you're here” 可知，
答话人让对方稍等。Just a minute 表示“稍等一下”，符合语境。With pleasure “很愿
意”；Never mind“没关系”；You’re welcome“别客气，不用谢”。
二、完形填空
A
16．B 【解析】 下文提到了女儿逃学、不愿意与人交流等，这些事情让作者感到痛苦( painful)。
17．D 【解析】 本句中的“but”暗示着作者对女儿的严加管教不起作用，work 表示“产生
预期的结果（或作用），奏效”。
18．C 【解析】 依据下文可知，Alice 把受伤的猫送到了宠物医院后，没有找到猫的主人，

四.写作
写作一
Were I three years younger than I am now, I would strongly recommend that I set more
practical and specific goals. As an old saying goes, living without a clear and achievable aim is like
sailing without a compass. Compared with many abstract objectives, practical ones can bring us
more courage and confidence whenever we make one step forward. If only I could go back and
reset my goals.
写作二
Dear Sir or Madam,
Learning that you are organizing this activity to share books worldwide, I am writing to
apply for it for the simple reason that I love reading and I own a large number of books.
You've introduced two ways to share books: wild release and controlled release. Of the two,
the latter wins my favor. By the means of controlled release, I only need to deliver books to
other participants, not only are books shared but it can build up a bridge connecting readers from
different parts of the world as well.
If you could provide more specific information, I would be well grateful. Looking forward
to your reply.

One of the easiest things in the world is to become a faultfinder. However, life can be
36 when you are not busy finding fault with it.
Several years ago I 37 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as
a world-class fault-finder, almost always 38 by things. People were always doing things that
annoyed her, and 39 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found
fault with her friends. She became a really 40 person.
Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 41 Her best friend was
seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 42 to deal with was that the day before
the 43 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 44

of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things
she felt she needed to 45 It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 46
her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 47
everything so harshly (刻薄) . She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her
48 as well.
Perhaps most of us aren’t as extreme at fault-finding, 49 when we’re honest, we can
be sharply 50 of the world． I’m not suggesting you 51 problems, or that you
pretend things are 52 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they
are— 53 most of the time, and especially when it's not a really big 54 .
Train yourself to “bite your tongue” , and with a little 55 , you’ll get really good at
letting things go. And when you do, you’ll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.

A
Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be
the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four,
dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course.
On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane(赛道).
Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos
(disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the
competitors arc served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They
come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common
addiction—food that is not just spicy(辛辣),but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head
spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a
period of three clays every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero
pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that
are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don’t like the feeling of a burning tongue, this
festival isn’t for you!
La Tomatina—The World’s Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Buñol hosts La Tomatina—the
world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the
highlight of the week’s events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with
tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd．
The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of
tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!

Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for
education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read
everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world
beyond his tiny hometown. “There’s so much to learn,” he’d say. “Though we’re born stupid, only
the stupid remain that way. ” He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒
绝) an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we
thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner
time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned． We would talk about the news of the day;
no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready
with some comment, always to the point.
Then came the moment—the time to share the day's new learning.
Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready
to listen.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
“Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.”
“I learned that the population of Nepal is ....”
Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation（拯救）of the world would depend
upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well .... ” he’d say. “Get the map; let's see where Nepal
is. ”And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only
after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however,
was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another's education. And by
looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming(肯定)our value, giving us a sense of
dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher，I studied with some of the most famous
educators. They were imparting(传授)what Papa had known all along—the value of continual
learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I
can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.
60．What do we know from the first paragraph?
A．The author's father was born in a worker’s family.
B．Those born stupid could not change their life.
C．The town elders wanted to learn about the world.
D．The poor could hardly afford school education.

Life can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks
（挫折）and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and
desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we
can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things,
up come the old patterns and pitfalls（陷阱）that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the
first place.
This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is
the niggling（烦人的）suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it’s easier to
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
just give up. But we’re never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The
intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us. It's the part that believes in life and its
possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little “dead” inside because you’re dropping
“you”.
So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break
these patterns?
Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new
adventure or just getting through today’s challenges.
While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind—or the minds of those close to
us—usually says we can’t．That isn’t a reason to stop, it’s just the mind, that little man or woman
on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It's
all about starting simple and doing it now.
Decide and act before over thinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release
from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way.
68．It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ________ .
A．slow down and live a simple life
B．be careful when we choose to change
C．stick to our dreams under any circumstances
D．be content with what we already have
69．What is the key to breaking the old patterns?
A．To focus on every detail. B．To decide and take immediate action.
C．To listen to those close to us. D．To think twice before we act.
70．Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?
A．Escape from your punishment. B．Realization of your dreams.
C．Freedom from your tension. D．Reduction of your expectations.
71．What does the author intend to tell us?
A．It’s easier than we think to get what we want.
B．It’s important to learn to accept sufferings in life.
C．It’s impractical to change our way of thinking.
D．It’s harder than we expect to follow a new course.

Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain(保
持) a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course
everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when
exercise is performed in groups, it’s not only great for improving physical health but for
psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins（内啡肽）, and improve
your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common
goal motivates participants to work hard． The instrumental support of taking on a fitness
journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.
Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive
from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to
embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for
you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and
supervision (监管) of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting
time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout
on track. Don’t let fitness frighten you!
If you’re serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it’s extremely important to
surround yourself with people who’ll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn't
scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn’t expect anyone to give
offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage

第二节 书面表达
In the picture, we can see a boy in worn clothes, sitting at a shabby wooden table with a
pile of books on it. A weak ray of light came in through a small hole in the wall and he was
absorbed in his reading.
This is a well-known story from an ancient Chinese idiom. The boy, being poor, couldn’t
afford even a candle, so he bored a hole in the wall to “steal” light from his neighbor's house to
read at night. The moral of the story is: spare no effort to acquire knowledge and never get
discouraged easily no matter how difficult the situation may be.
Of course, things are totally different today. It is not the story itself but what is reflected in
the story that counts. Hard work pays off. We should take pains to improve ourselves through
leaning and get prepared for the future.

Peter loved to shop used articles. Almost a month ago, he bought popular word game that
used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl
said, “Uh, look, the game box haven’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ”

“You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.”the
salesgirl said.
“Yes, you’re right. People like something rare.” Peter agreed, “I can’t imagine there being
very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later.”
“Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it.” the salesgirl smiled.
“No problem.” Peter said.
After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But
he couldn’t find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result
was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the
game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He
also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some
of them, telling them what he had.
Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop.
“Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?”
The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!”
“I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000．Thank you for
your suggestion.” He handed her three $ 100 bills.

When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t
very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got
pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you
have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I
didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a
fish does?
As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books
on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I
learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature.
That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water
is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and
the sun huts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and
catching them.
When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said,
“If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to
think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much
older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It
is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.
31．Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?
A．He could not catch a fish.
B．His father was not patient with him.
C．His father did not teach him fishing.
D．He could not influence a fish as his father did.
32．What did the author’s father really mean?
A．To read about fish. B．To learn fishing by oneself.
C．To understand what fish think. D．To study fishing in many ways.
33．According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.
A．in deep water on sunny days

Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s
influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it
doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to
understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影
像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children
learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree,
children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas.
Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set
and do something in another room.
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment.
But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to
reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar
sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’
educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is
best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and
affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact,
research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV
when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.
For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children.
However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally
believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other
influences.
36．By watching TV, children learn _________.
A．images through words
B．more than explicit meanings
C．more about images than words
D．little about people’s psychology
37．An educational program is best watched by a child _________.
A．on his own B．with other kids
C．with his parents D．with his teachers
38．Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．Radio-listening B．Television-watching
C．Parents’ reading list D．Parents’ educational background
39．Anderson believed that _________.
A．the more a child watches TV, the smarter he is
B．the younger a child is, the more he watches TV
C．the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV
D．the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school
40．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To advise on the educational use of TV.
B．To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.
C．To explain traditional views on TV influences.
D．To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.

It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had
unique characteristics.
In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classless
society' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle
class.
But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public
opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed
that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp
class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an
important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.
One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person
speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding
like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent
sounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand,
were regional（地区的）city accents. These accents were seen as 'common' and 'ugly'. However,
a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some
regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.
In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt
some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming
unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a
middle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality
of a working-class life.
41．A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________.
A．it is time to end class distinction
B．most people belong to middle class
C．it is easy to recognize a person’s class
D．people regard themselves socially different
42．The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A．variety B．division C．authority D．qualification
43．The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as _________.
A．regional B．educated C．prejudiced D．unattractive
44．British attitudes towards accent _________.
A．have a long tradition B．are based on regional status
C．are shared by the Americans D．have changed in recent years
45．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The middle class is expanding

【参考范文】
DNA test, a new technique, which is done by analyzing the saliva sample, appears in the
foreign medical industry. Lasting for 4-6 weeks, the test costs 125 pounds. As for its functions, not
only can the technique be used to predict major diseases, but it also enables people to foresee
the examinee's food preference. With such a technique, examiners are able to provide various
suggestions on appropriate ways of exercise for examinees. It is said that the test will enhance
the examinee's consciousness of health, but on the contrary it will also be more likely to result in
over anxiety.
第二节 读写任务
Confronted with the misbehavior of her new class, Sally emphasized the idea of“We are
family”and afterwards worked out 10 rules to regulate the students’ conduct. Amazingly, she
earned respect from her students, all of whom later grew to be confident, considerate and
well-behaved.
The most obvious problem with our class is lack of interaction or teamwork. Everyone is
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
interested only in his or her own things, thus giving rise to inefficiency in their study and even
putting a limit to the fulfilment of their potential.
To address the issue, I would make it rule that every Friday a project of a certain subject
should be assigned by teachers and completed by every study group consisting of four students.
The final presentation will be a result of group work.
From where I stand, this rule will definitely exert a profound effect on students’ academic
performance. First and foremost, a harmonious but competitive interaction in a group will help
with everyone’s learning. Additionally, we can combine our skills and knowledge as well as
motivate each other to achieve greater accomplishments. Last but not least, studying in group,
we can share our experience in solving problems more efficiently. It is for these reasons that I
firmly believe that this rule will promote the learning atmosphere and our teamwork spirit.
With continuous efforts, our class, a big family, will compose an extraordinarily harmonious
symphony.

“I see you’ve got a bit of water on your coat,” said the man at the petrol station. “Is it raining
out there?” “No, it’s pretty nice,” I replied, checking my sleeve. “Oh, right. A pony(马驹) bit me
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
earlier.”
As it happened, the bite was virtually painless: more the kind of small bite you might get
from a naughty child. The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park
near Haytor, and perhaps thought I’d jumped in ahead of him.
The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist-heavy area and
tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods, despite sighs asking them not to. By feeding the
ponies, tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather
during the area’s annual pony drift(迁移).
The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked, the baby
ones can be stooped from feeding on their mother’s milk, and those who’ve gone beyond their
limited area can be returned to their correct area. Some of them are also later sold, in order to
limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England.
Three weeks ago, I witnessed a small near-disaster a few mils west of here. While walking, I
noticed a pony roll over on his back. “Hello!” I said to him, assuming he was just rolling for fun,
but he was very still and, as I got closer, I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily.
I began to properly worry about him. Fortunately, I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoor’s
Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo. The officer immediately sent a local farmer out
to check on the pony. The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks. The farmer freed
him, and he began to run happily around again.
Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies, who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species
in this area. Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies, and trying to come up with
plans to find a sustainable(可持续的) future for one of Dartmoor’s most financially-troubled
elements.
51．Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies?
A．To protect the tourists from being bitten.
B．To keep the ponies off the petrol station.
C．To avoid putting the ponies in danger.
D．To prevent the ponies from fighting.
52．One of the purposes of the annual pony drift is __________.
A．to feed baby ponies on milk B．to control the number of ponies
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．to expand the habitat for ponies D．to sell the ponies at a good price
53．What as the author’s first reaction when he saw a pony roll on its back?
A．He freed it from the trap. B．He called a protection officer.
C．He worried about it very much. D．He thought of it as being naughty.
54．What does the author imply about the preservation of Dartmoor’s ponies?
A．It lacks people’s involvement.
B．It costs a large amount of money.
C．It will affect tourism in Dartmoor.
D．It has caused an imbalance of species.
B
What Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isn’t prerequisite for a modern
grow-your-own lifestyle. On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los Angeles, Loe and her family grow, can
（装罐）and preserve much of the food they consume.
Loe is a master food preserver, gardener and canning expert. She also operates a website,
where she shares her tips and recipes, with the goal of demonstrating that everyone has the
ability to control what’s on their plate.
Loe initially went to school to become an engineer, but she quickly learned that her
enthusiasm was mainly about growing and preparing her own food. “I got into cooking my own
food and started growing my own herbs (香草) and foods for that fresh flavor,” she said.
Engineer by day, Loe learned cooking at night school. She ultimately purchased a small piece of
land with her husband and began growing their own foods.
“I teach people how to live farm-fresh without a farm,” Loe said. Through her website Loe
emphasizes that “anybody can do this anywhere.” Got an apartment with a balcony（阳台）?
Plant some herbs. A window? Perfect spot for growing. Start with herbs, she recommends,
because “they’re very forgiving.” Just a little of the herbs “can take your regular cooking to a
whole new level,” she added. “I think it’s a great place to start.” “Then? Try growing something
from a seed, she said, like a tomato or some tea.”
Canning is a natural extension of the planting she does. With every planted food. Loe noted,
there’s a moment when it’s bursting with its absolute peak flavor. “I try and keep it in a time
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
capsule in a canning jar,” Loe said. “Canning for me is about knowing what’s in your food,
knowing where it comes from.”
In addition to being more in touch with the food she’s eating, another joy comes from
passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children: “Influencing them and
telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but understanding the bigger
picture,” she said, “that if we don’t take care of the earth, no will.”

Hilversum is a medium-sized city between the major cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the
Gooi area of North Holland, the Netherlands. Unlike most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is
actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand. Once called the Garden of
Amsterdam, it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding
forests. They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness. For Dutch people, Hilversum is
all about textile (纺织) and media industries, and modern architecture.
In history, Hilversum was largely an agricultural area. Daily life was marked by farming,
sheep raising and wool production. A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders
from Amsterdam to Hilversum. They built themselves large villas (别墅) in the wooded
surroundings of the town. One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers, currently the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
wealthiest family of the Netherlands. They moved in after big success in the textile industry and
aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum. But the textile boom lasted only several decades.
The last factory closed in the 1960s.
The change to a media economy started in 1920, when the Nederlandse Seintoestellen
Fabriek (NSF) established a radio factory in Hilversum. Most radio stations settled in the large
villas in the leafy areas of the town. Television gave another push to the local economy.
Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands, and Dutch television stars moved into
the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.
In the early 1900s, modern architects W.M. Dudok and J.Duiker placed hundreds of
remarkable buildings in Hilversum. These modern architectural masterpieces (杰作) are so many
that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum. Dudok alone shaped most 21th century
Hilversum and approximately 75 buildings still bear his unique characteristics, His masterpiece ,
Hilversum Town Hall, was built in 1928-1931. It has wide international fame and is included in
many architecture textbooks. The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination
of “blocks”. Actually, one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the
W.M. Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.
59．Hilversum is different from most of the Netherlands in that ______.
A．it has a large population B．it is cut off from big cities
C．it has many beautiful gardens D．it is in a hilly area with sandy soil
60．What was the greatest contribution of the Brenninkmeijers to Hilversum?
A．Building a railway link to Amsterdam.
B．Helping its textile industry to develop.
C．Constructing large villas for the poor.
D．Assisting its agricultural industry.
61．The beginning of the media industry in Hilversum was marked by the establishment of
______.
A．a radio factory B．the medial capital
C．a radio station D．a TV station
62．What is known about W.M. Dudok’s Hilversum Town Hall?
A．It consists of approximately 75 buildings.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．It looks like an open air museum in the city.
C．It is a classic example in architecture textbooks.
D．It has shaped most of 20th century Hilversum.

The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.
First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The
main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave
your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny
balled（芭蕾）dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour
on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.”
On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts
has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can
watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station
residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate
air, the carbon dioxide you exhale (呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible（隐形的）cloud
around you head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.
Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens
even before you float out of your seat,” Your inner ear thinks you’re falling. Meanwhile your eyes
are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying—that’s why some people feel sick.”
Within a couple days —truly terrible days for some —astronauts’ brains learn to ignore the
panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.
Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance,
astronauts lose bone mass. That’s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics
and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as
much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts return home,
and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more
that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.
63．What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?
A．Deciding on a proper sleep position.
B．Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly.
D．Finding a right time to go to sleep.
64．The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when _______.
A．they circle around on their bikes
B．they use microcomputers without a stop
C．they exercise in one place for a long time
D．they watch a movie while pedaling
65．Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because _______.
A．their senses stop working
B．they have to stand up straight
C．they float out of their seats unexpectedly
D．their brains receive contradictory messages
66．One of the NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is _______.
A．how much exercise they do on the station
B．how they can remain healthy for long in space
C．whether they can recover after returning home
D．whether they are able to go back to the station
E
Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and
help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a
temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of
The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the
latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more
ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics.
The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are
the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?
To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines（学科）. Considering
this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book
in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the
reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through
childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear
about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his
characters.
On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is
mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the
chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly
not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie
elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his tale into science.
67．The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to_______.
A．illustrate where science can be applied
B．demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new book
C．remind the reader of the importance of science
D．explain why many writers use science in their works
68．According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?
A．Its strong basis. B．Its convincing points.
C．Its clear writing. D．Its memorable characters.
69．What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?
A．Contradictory. B．Supportive. C．Cautious. D．Critical.
70．What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?
A．Problems with the book. B．Brooks’s life experience.
C．Death of the characters. D．Brooks’s translation skills.

Questioning can lead to searching for an answer. If we are in the habit of raising doubts as to
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
whether what we are told is true, we can find the correct answer and learn more.
Two years ago, our teacher offered us an answer to a difficult math problem in class.
Although the answer seemed a little strange, nobody but I doubted it. Thinking that his solution
might be wrong, I carefully analyzed the problem and tried to work it out in a different
way. Half an hour later, I managed to find the correct answer. When I showed my answer to him,
the teacher praised me for my independent thinking．
From this experience I have learnt that questioning can serve as a bridge that helps us to
seek the truth.

It was a rainy morning and the children, mainly boys with various learning
difficulties, refused to settle for the start of the lesson. As an inexperienced teacher, I
tried every means to get them to be 36 , but in vain. My panic was rising and I
could feel my heart beating wildly. This was the 37 of my job as a music teacher,
I thought — teaching was not for me. Then I had an idea. Hoping that no one would
notice that I was 38 inside, I threw my voice as far as it would reach: “Put your
heads on the desks and close your 39 ! We are going on a journey.”
40 , the children fell silent. “Now what should I do?” I thought to myself.
Reaching over to my collection of CDs, I blindly 41 , put it in the machine and
played it.
Obediently (顺从地), my class lay their heads on their desks, closed their eyes
and 42 . When the music started, the room was filled with the most beautiful
tones and musical colors I could have ever imagined. All the children were 43 .
When the music finished, I asked them all to raise their 44 slowly so that we
could share our musical journeys.
At this point, when all the children were willing to share their experiences, I
began to learn how to 45 . The music allowed me to learn that teaching is about
sharing and respect, tears and smiles, the knowing and the 46 and, most of all,

relevant resource and take notes on it. Instead, you can find some sources from the
Internet 50 print the copies needed. Remember, however, that you should
usually consult different types of sources. That is, you 51 always rely just on
the Internet for you research.
While finding information is easier than ever, at the same time, researching has
become 52 complex. There is a lot more material available, which means you
may be overwhelmed 53 the amount of information. You need to learn 54
to sort through and find the relevant information for your particular project. Also,

given in the passage.
A
Forget Cyclists, Pedestrians are Real Danger
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
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 loved 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) jackets 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
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
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.
——JML
Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.

B
In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring,
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
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 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 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 the
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 ______.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
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

63. The underlined word “hoist” in Paragraph 4 means “_______”.

D. decorate
64. What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?
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.
65. The passage is mainly about the early Chicago’s ______.
A. popular life styles and their influences

C. engineering problems and their solutions
D. successful businessmen and their achievements
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 noting the
inspector was 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
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
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,
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 1 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
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
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 ______.
A. to try his best to keep steady
B. to show his satisfaction with the floor
C. to extend a warm greeting to Glenn’s mother
D. to express his intention to continue the inspection
Part IV Writing (45 marks)
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 its special features.
A pocket dictionary is small. Generally, it contains no more than 75,000 entries,
making it easy 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 170,000 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
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
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.
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
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 the future. Taking optional subjects will enrich our mind. It
will also show colleges we are diverse students.

【参考范文】
As a student, I can tell you that there is nothing better than being praised by my
teacher before my classmates. I still remember a maths lesson. My maths teacher
copied a challenging problem on the blackboard and asked the whole class whether
there would be one student who knew how to work it out. Several minutes passed
but the whole class was in complete silence. As a matter of fact, I came across the
problem in a reference book the other day, so I gathered my courage, walked to the
blackboard and worked it out in no time. What a surprised expression was on my
maths teacher’s face! He felt so happy that he praised me in public, saying that l was
an intelligent student. At that moment, I became the focus of the whole class and
was full of great pride and confidence.
Since then, maths has become one of my favorite subjects, and I have also made
rapid progress in maths. I appreciate my maths teacher’s praise and encouragement
very much.

In the United States alone, over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year.
Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal
digital assistants. The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
garbage as a whole.
Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver. A Swiss study reported that
while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in
comparison to total waste, the concentration (含量) of gold and other precious metals was
higher in So-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.
Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals. Even when the machines are
recycled and the harmful metals removed, the recycling process often is carried out in poor
countries, in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into
the environment.
Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material, up to 100 times
more, than the material contained in the finished products. Consider again the cell-phone, and
imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factories needed to make the box and
packaging(包装) it came in. Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “the
production, distribution, and use of products — as well as management of the resulting waste —
all result in greenhouse gas release.” Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less
waste at the start — for instance, buying reusable products and recycling.
In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or
has been put in place as an incentive (动机) for reducing waste. If producers are required to take
back packaging they use to sell their products, would they reduce the packaging in the first
place?
Governments’ incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they
produce is usually based on money. Why, they ask, should cities or towns be responsible for
paying to deal with the bubble wrap (气泡垫) that encased your television?
From the governments’ point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer
responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management
from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.
58．By mentioning the Swiss study, the author intends to tell us that _________.
A．the weight of e-goods is rather small
B．E-waste deserves to be made good use of
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．natural minerals contain more precious metals
D．the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste
59．The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended _________.
A．from producers to governments B．from governments to producers
C．from individuals to distributors D．from distributors to governments
60．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The increase in e-waste. B．The creation of e-waste.
C．The seriousness of e-waste. D．The management of e-waste.

Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have
volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why
people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.
Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several
factors that motivate people to get involved．For example, people volunteer to express personal
values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social
relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate.
To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to
attract.
People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community
service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these
programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g., “I volunteer
because it’s important to me”) to an external factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do
so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be
sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.
Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To
answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track
volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One
of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of
suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you,
it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
“training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them
with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.
Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in
the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that
those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also
be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social
role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part
of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation (正
相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer.
These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering,
continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity.... Items like T-shirts that
allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role
identity”.
61．People volunteer mainly out of ______.
A．academic requirements B．social expectations
C．financial rewards D．internal needs
62．What can we learn from the Florida study?
A．Follow-up studies should last for one year.
B．Volunteers should get mentally prepared.
C．Strategy training is a must in research.
D．Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.
63．What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?
A．Individual differences in role identity. B．Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.
C．Role identity as a volunteer. D．Practical advice from researchers.
64．What is the best title of the passage?
A．How to Get People to Volunteer B．How to Study Volunteer Behaviors
C．How to Keep Volunteers’ Interest D．How to Organize Volunteer Activities
D
Freedom and Responsibility
Freedom’s challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic．We are facing today a strange new
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it.
Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom.
There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt and Babylon
were both tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses.
In Greece, in Athens (雅典), a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses.
And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the
unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness
and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live
alone in the desert. The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he
wanted．A man was free if he was self-controlled．To make yourself obey what you approved was
freedom. They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt
responsible for the welfare of Athens, not because it was forced on him from the outside, but
because the city was his pride and his safety. The essential belief of the first free government in
the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for
the state.
But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers. It cannot be discovered once for
all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will go. Constant watch is its price. Athens
changed．It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme
importance, a spiritual change which affected the whole state. It had been the Athenian 爷s
pride and joy to give to their city. That they could get material benefits from her never entered
their minds. There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as
an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to the state,
the state was to give to them. What the people wanted was a government which would provide a
comfortable life for them; and with this as the primary object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance
and responsibility were neglected to the point of disappearing. Athens was more and more
looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to
share.
Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from
responsibility. There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of
self-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms.
Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility; she reached the end of freedom
and was never to have it again.
But, “the excellent becomes the permanent”, Aristotle said．Athens lost freedom forever, but
freedom was not lost forever for the world．A great American, James Madison, referred to: “The
capacity (能力) of mankind for self-government.” No doubt he had not an idea that he was
speaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind, but once man has a great
and good idea, it is never completely lost. The Digital Age cannot destroy it. Somehow in this or
that man’s thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world of action. One can never
be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action only sure that it will do so
sometime.
65．What does the underlined word “tyrannies” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Countries where their people need help.
B．Powerful states with higher civilization.
C．Splendid empires where people enjoy freedom.
D．Governments ruled with absolute power.
66．People believing in freedom are those who________ .
A．regard their life as their own business B．seek gains as their primary object
C．behave within the laws and value systems D．treat others with kindness and pity
67．What change in attitude took place in Athens?
A．The Athenians refused to take their responsibility.
B．The Athenians no longer took pride in the city.
C．The Athenians benefited spiritually from the government.
D．The Athenians looked on the government as a business.
68．What does the sentence “There could be only one result.” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Athens would continue to be free.
B．Athens would cease to have freedom.
C．Freedom would come from responsibility.
D．Freedom would stop Athens from self-dependence.
69．Why does the author refer to Aristotle and Madison?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．The author is hopeful about freedom.
B．The author is cautious about self-government.
C．The author is skeptical of Greek civilization.
D．The author is proud of man’s capacity.
70．What is the author’s understanding of freedom?

B．Freedom may come to an end in the digital age.
C．Freedom should have priority over responsibility.
D．Freedom needs to be guaranteed by responsibility.
第四部分: 任务型阅读 (共 10 小题; 每小题 1 分, 满分 10 分)
请阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意: 每个空格只填一个单词。
People select news in expectation of a reward．This reward may be either of two kinds. One
is related to what Freud calls the Pleasure Principle, the other to what he calls the Reality
Principle. For want of better names, we shall call these two classes immediate reward and
delayed reward.
In general, the kind of news which may be expected to give immediate reward are news of
crime and corruption, accidents and disasters, sports, social events, and human interest. Delayed
reward may be expected from news of public affairs, economic matters, social problems, science,
education, and health.
News of the first kind pays its rewards at once. A reader can enjoy an indirect experience
without any of the dangers or stresses involved．He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder, shake
his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane, identify himself with the winning team, laugh
understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs.
News of the second kind, however, pays its rewards later. It sometimes requires the reader
to tolerate unpleasantness or annoyance — as, for example, when he reads of the threatening
foreign situation, the mounting national debt, rising taxes, falling market, scarce housing, and
cancer. It has a kind of “threat value.” It is read so that the reader may be informed and
prepared．When a reader selects delayed reward news, he pulls himself into the world of
surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work. When he selects news of
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
the other kind, he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream
world.
For any individual, of course, the boundaries of these two classes are not stable. For
example, a sociologist may read news of crime as a social problem, rather than for its immediate
reward．A coach may read a sports story for its threat value: he may have to play that team next
week. A politician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting, not for its delayed
reward, but very much as his wife reads an account of a party. In any given story of corruption or
disaster, a thoughtful reader may receive not only the immediate reward of indirect experience,
but also the delayed reward of information and preparedness. Therefore, while the division of
categories holds in general, an individual’s tendency may transfer any story from one kind of
reading to another, or divide the experience between the two kinds of reward.
What news stories do you read?

【范文赏读】
The traffic issue is a hard nut to crack. It not only affects our everyday life, but may also
threaten
people’s lives. The three selections presented above are typical examples.
Quite a few things give rise to the traffic problem. In spite of the large-scale construction of
roads and highways, there is still much room for improvement, because of the ever increasing
number of cars these years. What’s worse, some drivers, cyclists and pedestrians do not think it
vital to obey traffic rules.
In fact, traffic rules are part of the rules and regulations closely related to public order.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Without them, people could not enjoy harmony or the country would be in chaos. But rules
alone don’t secure an orderly society. It is the people who obey the rules that matter. It is
everybody’s duty to observe them to keep our society in order and going on the right track.

When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life, she did what
comes naturally. The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several
fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then
she ran along the edge of cliff(悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the
sea.
Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard of Cornwall, who
turned up in seconds . Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but
gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.
Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned
home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself
with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.
For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken . Then, one day, the
phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would
like his dog bark.
A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a
rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to
collect Judy.
The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived
by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on
the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and
hungry,” Steve Tregear said, “It was a very dog. She survived because of a plentiful
supply of fresh water,” he added.
It was, as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle(奇迹)”.
50. The dog Jody fell down the cliff when she was _______ .
A. rescuing her owner B. caught in a hurricane
C. blocked by a rock D. running after a sheep
51. Who spotted Judy after the accident?
A. A birdwatcher B. A student from Leeds
【斐然英语十年真题系列】

52. What can we infer from the text?
A. People like to travel with their pets.
B. Judy was taken to the fields for hunting.
C. Luck plays a vital role in Judy's survival.
D. Holden cared little where Judy was buried.
53. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

C
The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately,
full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage.
The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun
production endangers the very existence of, certain animals and birds, and even
disturbs the world’s ecological balance.
On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the
area’s birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and
other special(物种) that depend on the trees’ flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee
growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many special are quickly dying out.
On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields
also threatens(威胁)human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests'
plant and animal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers
from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing techniques
are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the world's groundwater.
Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations (种
植园)could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is
already causing a slight change in the world's climate, and studies show that loss of
oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Moreover, the
new growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.
It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects many
aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although
at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more
than an inexpensive cup of coffee.
54. What can we learn about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4?
A. It limits the spread of new growing techniques.
B. It leads to air pollution and global warming.
C. It slows down the loss of shade trees.
D. It improves local soil conditions.
55. The purpose of the text is to .
A. entertain B. advertise C. instruct D. persuade
56. Where does this text probably come from?
A. An agricultural magazine.
B. A medical journal.
C. An engineering textbook.
D. A tourist guide.

D
Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down
their school grades. Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at
school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent
study on the topic.
The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where
schools except them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous
generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and
ready to learn.
Keith Robinson, the author of the study, said, “I really don't know if the public is

ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids’
education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things
that was consistently negative was parents' help with homework.” Robinson
suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the task.
“They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some
cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice.”
Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the
most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks.
In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and
the rest statistically insignificant.
Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because
“children with good academic success do have involved parents”, admitted Robinson.
But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of
that success. “A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing
so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying
to their children how success at school could improve their lives.”
58. The underlined expression “parental involvement ” in Paragraph 1 probably
means .
A. parents’ expectation on children’s health
B. parents’ participation in children’s education
C. parents’ control over children’s life
D. parents’ plan for children’s future
59. What is the major finding of Robinson's study ?
A. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.
B. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.
C. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.
D. Parents are not able to help with children’s homework.
60. The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should .
A. help children realize the importance of schooling
B. set a specific life goal for their children
C. spend more time improving their own lives
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D. take a more active part in school management
第二节 （共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分）
根据短文内容，从下框的A~F 选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答
题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。
A. The mistaken belief
B. The need for tolerance
C. Unpunctuality at dinners
D. Punctuality and confidence
E. Self-discipline and punctuality
F. Avoid anxiety by being punctual
61.
There is the belief that, if you arrive at an appointment late, you will be
considered important. This is a mistaken view. Being unpunctual, we are not
respectful of others ; we are interfering (扰乱)with another man's time. We must
realise that keeping appointments or being punctual is a contract that is silently
agreed and we are expected to respect this contract. It is only natural that we lose
faith, trust and confidence in a person who is tardy(延迟的).
62.
To be punctual one has to have self-discipline(自律), and the lack of it affects
others. A school boy or girl is unpunctual because he or she does not have the
necessary human virtue of self-discipline. It is also a mark of disrespect for a system
or an institution. Unpunctual people seldom realise that their habit cause problems
to others. A salesman who is not punctual may not make a sale if he arrives late for
an appointment. If one is late for a job interview, it is not likely that he will get the
job.
63.
Being punctual, we can avoid anxiety. Imagine the anxiety if you do not want to
be considered unpunctual. You will be anxious if you set out for a dinner late. The
person who sets out late might be careless in driving. He will ignore traffic rules. A
traffic jam, flat tyres, etc. can delay him further. Happy and calm is the man who
takes all these possibilities into consideration and arrives at the appointment either
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
early or on time.
64.
Many of those who attend dinners are notorious (声名狼藉的)for unpunctuality.
They ignore the appointed time and leave their homes only after the fixed time. They
are indifferent to the inconvenience caused to others. If the self-centred guest
arrives late, the nine others at the table set for ten will have to wait. The host is put
in an unpleasant situation and this man seldom thinks of the inconvenience caused
to all -the waiters, the management staff, etc. It is necessary for us to think of others
and be considerate to them.
65.
However, we cannot always be intolerant (无法容忍的) of tardiness, for ordinary
living requires some tolerance. There can be a busy executive who fights to keep to
his schedule. Such a person may be forgiven if he is late, but not those who are
deliberately late to create impression.
In modern society, punctuality is a necessary virtue. It is a recognition of the
importance of other people.

My soccer coach retired in last week. I wanted to do anything special for him at
his retirement party. My mum makes the better biscuits in the world, so I decide to
ask her for help. Mum taught me some basic step of baking. I insisted on doing most
of the baking myself. I thought the biscuits were really well. My only mistake was that
I dropped some on the floor after I was packing them up.
At a party, my coach, with a biscuit in his mouth, asked surprisingly who made
them and joked, “I might have to retire again next year just get some more of these
biscuits.”
My favorite picture at the party is of my coach and me enjoy the biscuits with
happy laughter!

2015 年全国高考试题独家解析(陕西标卷)
英语答案
第一部分：英语知识运用
第一节 语音知识
1-5 ACBCD
第二节 情景对话
6-10 DGCAE
第三节 语法和词汇知识
11．C 【解析】 首句的意思是“我们去参加新年除夕晚会好吗？”，答语的第二
句的意思是“我猜它会很有趣”。根据前后语境可判断，答话者同意去参
加这次晚会，故选C “为什么不去呢”。 Forget it 用于回答感谢，意思为“不
客气”；用于回答道歉，意思为“没关系”。No way 意思是“不行”。 What
for 意思是“为什么”。
12．B 【解析】 句意：这位小学生抓着他奶奶的胳膊，然后护送她穿过街道。
take sb．by the arm 是一个固定短语，意思是“抓住某人的胳膊”。
13．B 【解析】 句意：为了让自己暖和，那位水手坐在火堆前面，用一只脚摩
擦另外一只脚。表示两者之间的“一个……另一个……”，要用one the
other。故选B。
14．A 【解析】 句意：一个人越博学，他通常会变得越谦逊。根据句子结构来
判断，此句使用了“The+形容词／副词比较级…，the+形容词／副词比
较级”结构，意思是 “越……，越……”。
15．D 【解析】 句意：作为家里孩子中最小的一个，Alex 一直渴望着他能够有
独立的时间。根据句子结构来判断，此句中the time 后面是一个定语从
句，且空处在从句中作状语，表示时间，所以要用关系副词when。
16．D 【解析】——先生，我能晚一点儿交我的家庭作业吗？——行吧，由于
这些日子你身体不舒服。根据“since you've been unwell these days”可
知，后者同意了前者的请求，故选D，意思是“行吧，好吧”。 You can't
be serious 意思是“你别开玩笑了”；I'm afraid not 意思是“恐怕不行”；
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Good idea 意思是“好主意”。
17．A 【解析】 句意：在得到奥斯卡最佳女配角奖之后，Anne Benedict 继续
感谢在事业上帮助过她的所有人。根据句意，动词receive 和thank 是两
件不同的事情，所以要用go on to do sth．。
18．B 【解析】 句意：在非洲医疗机构待了两年回来之后，李博士很高兴地看
到他的母亲在家被照顾得很好。根据句子结构来判断，此空要用非谓语
动词作宾语补足语，构成see sb．done 结构，意思是“看到某人被……”。
19．A 【解析】 句意：读着她的自传，我对Doris Lessing 在文学上已经取得的
成就赞叹不已。根据句子结构来判断，for 后接一个宾语从句，而从句中
缺少宾语，所以要用what。
20．C 【解析】 句意：我相信，一旦你逐渐认识了每一个人，你在这里将会有
一段快乐的时光。根据句子前后酌意思可知，应用once o 而though“尽
管”，as if“好像”，so that “以便”，均不符合句意。
21．D 【解析】 句意：你可能感觉到所有的培训都是浪费时间，但是我百分
之百的确信最后你将感谢你所做的这一切。根据句子中的“but I'm a
hundred percent sure later you’ll be grateful you did it”可判断出，表示对
前面情况的一种推测，所以要用may“也许，可能”。
22．B 【解析】 句意：Marty 一直在努力地写着他的书，他想他在周五前会完
成它。根据句中的“by Friday”可判断出，work 这个动作从过去一直持
续到现在，并将继续下去，所以要用现在完成进行时。
23．D 【解析】 句意：Ellen 是一个极出色的舞者。我希望我能够跳得和她一
样好。动词wish 后的宾语从句中常用虚拟语气。再根据句意，此处表示
对现在情况的一种假设，所以从句中的谓语动词要用一般过去式。故选
D。
24．A 【解析】 句意：在上大学时，巴拉克·奥巴马不知道他将成为美国第一
位黑人总统。根据句意可知，“上大学”发生在过去，从过去的时间看将
来，要用过去将来时，故用was to do。
25．A 【解析】 句意：在下一个月月末Peter 将开始担任旅行社领导的职位。
take up“开始从事（新的工作），开始担当（新的责任）”，符合句意。 put
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
up“张贴，建造”；add up “加起来”；break up“结束，驱散”。

知，在阳光充足的环境中生长的咖啡豆会导致空气污染和全球变暖。
55．D 【解析】 根据文章最后一段中的“But consumers do have a choice. They can
purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible. The future health of the
planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee”

这对于地球的未来来说是很值得的。由此可以推断出，作者写作本文的目
的是“劝说”。故答案为D。

本农业杂志。故答案为A。

【解析】
第一处：去掉last 前的in。考查时间状语。当用作时间状语的词前有next，last
等词时，其前不用介词。
第二处：改anything 为something。考查不定代词。句意：我想为他做一些特别
的事情。表示“一些”要用代词something，而anything 的意思是“任
何事情”。
第三处：改better 为best。考查形容词最高级。句意：我的母亲做出世界上最好
的饼干。由makes 后的the 可知，此处要用 形容词最高级。
第四处：改decide 为decided。考查动词时态。根据整篇文章所发生的时间来看，
此处表示的是过去的事情，所以要用一般过去时。
第五处：改step 为steps。考查名词复数。表示“烘饼干的一些基本步骤”，要用
名词的复数形式。
第六处：改well 为good。考查形容词辨析。 well 通常指健康状况，而此处指的
是食物很好，要用good。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
第七处：改after 为when/while。考查状语从句。句意：当我在把它们打包起来
时，一些（饼干）掉到了地板上。表示“当……的时候”，要用when
或while。
第八处：改a 为the。考查冠词。根据前面的“retirement party”可知，此处表
示特指，要用the。
第九处：在just 后加to。考查非谓语动词。句意：我可能明年必须再退休一次，
仅仅是为了吃到更多的饼干。根据句子结构来判断，此处要用动词不定
式作目的状语。
第十处：改enjoy 为enjoying。考查非谓语动词。在介词of 之后要用动词-ing 形
式。

Nothing could stop Dad． After he was put on disability for a bad back, he
bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He
planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin’s chicken house in exchange for
manure(肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained
about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops,
and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house
with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.
As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day,
armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).
Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes,
corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the
vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken
manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell
nearly knocked us out.
Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house.
Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas
leak!
Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It
didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it
didn’t offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a
cooking competition, but it was surprisingly edible, and we drank up every last drop
of soup.
34．Why did Dad clean Old Man MoColgin’s chicken house regularly?
A．To earn some money for the family. B．To collect manure for his crops.
C．To get rid of the terrible smell. D．To set a good example to us.
35．What can we infer about Dad’s stew?
A．It is popular among the neighbors. B．It contains honey and vegetables.
C．It looks very wonderful. D．It tastes quite delicious.
36．What does the underlined word “offend” in the last paragraph mean?
A．To attract. B．To upset. C．To air. D．To shut.
37．What can we learn about Dad form the text?
A．He is an experienced cook. B．He is a troublesome father.
C．He has a positive attitude to life. D．He suffers a lot from his disability.

Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as
older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers. But,
according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all
year.
Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid
work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours,
they would earn as much as £172,000 a year.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are
working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income £30，000
more than the Prime Minister earns.
By analysing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week,
40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After
questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that, on most days,
mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested
some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer,
personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at £48.98 an hour, would
prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”,with psychologist（心理学家）a
close second．
It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making
emotional（情感的）demand as the hardest thing about motherhood．
Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they

Their cheery song brightens many a winter’s day. But robins are in danger of
wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all nigh — as well as
during the day, British-based researchers say.
David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps,
takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks, leading to them
being wide awake when they should be asleep.
Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping
patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds’ health at risk. His study shows that
when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being
active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more
active they are at night.
He told people at a conference, “There have been a couple of studies suggesting
they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing.
Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output,
there might be some costs of energy.”
And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds
and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, "In Glasgow where I
live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying `You are the bird
expert. Can you help us kill these gulls?'. During the breeding(繁殖)season, between
April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep."
Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves
heard over loud noise.
However, some birds thrive(兴旺)in noisy environments. A study from California
Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial
machinery. It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌)fleeing to
quieter areas.
42．According to Dr Dominoni’s study, what causer robins to sing so much?
A．The breeding season.
B．The light in modem life
C．The dangerous environment. D．The noise from heavy machinery.
43．What is the researchers’ concern over the increase of birds' song output?
A．The environment might be polluted．
B．The birds' health might be damaged．
C．The industry cost might be increased．
D．The people's hearing might be affected．
44．What does the underlined word "nocturnal" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Active at night. B．Inactive at night.
C．Active during the day.
D．Inactive during the day.
45．Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?
A．Because there are fewer dangers.
B．Because there is more food to eat.
C．Because there is less light pollution
D．Because there are more places to take shelter.

No one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a
new study suggests they used a little rock‘n’roll. Long-ago builders could have
attached wooden pole s to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists
say.
“Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn
said．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And
there’s no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed
about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone
blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.
The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth
paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板).
Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers
may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn
has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand．
Evidence from the sand supports this idea．Researchers found small amounts of
fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.
However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way,
who led the new study. West said, “I was inspired while watching a television
program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought,
‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things?’ ” A square could be turned into a rough
sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized. That, he notes,
should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”.
So he tried it .
He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone
block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the
block on the ground．
They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled．The researchers
found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated
that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑
的)path.
West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear
advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
water to smooth the paths.
46．It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by
______.
A．rolling them on roads B．pushing them over the sand
C．sliding them on smooth paths D．dragging them on some poles
47．The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means____.
A．made the paths wet B．made the paths hard
C．made the paths wide D．made the paths slippery
48．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to?
A．Rolling the blocks with poles attached.
B．Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.
C．Rolling poles to move the blocks.
D．Rolling the blocks with fat.
49．Why is rolling better than sliding according to West?
A．Because more force is needed for sliding.
B．Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.
C．Because sliding on smooth roads is more dangerous.
D．Because less preparation on paths is needed for rolling.
50．What is the text mainly about?
A．An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.
B．An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.
C．An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.
D．An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.

It was a hot summer day that found me running down the street with a dollar
in my sweaty hand．The closer I got to Sam & Joe’s Stationery Store, the more excited
I was. After all, a dollar was a tidy sum for an 11-year-old boy in 1961.
Out of breath, I swung open the door and got a blast of cold air that instantly
cooled me off. I was in a place of pure happiness. Sam & Joe's had it all — books,
candy, toys, baseball cards，puzzles and games. I went directly to the bar and ordered
a bottle of soda． There I sat, considering my next move.
Books always came first. I picked out five titles. Next came the candy, rows and
rows of it. I chose five candy bars, which brought my total to 75 cents. Then a bottle
of cold orange juice, a bag of chips and a pack of Ted Williams baseball cards. After
paying the clerk, I still had 5 cents.
I hurried directly to my backyard, where an apple tree patiently waited for me.
There, sitting in the shade against its strong trunk, I read my books, ate my candy and
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
drank my orange juice.
As I sat in my own personal heaven，I started thinking about having more. That's
when a fantastic life-changing idea popped into head: If I could get more money, I
could buy more books l liked, buy anything l wanted. That's how it all started．

Hi，Sharon，
This is Li Xia. I learned from your post that you want to improve your Mandarin．
I felt honored to have the chance to help you with your Mandarin learning. I’m
good at speaking standard Mandarin. I’ve been a broadcaster in the school's
broadcasting station for years. When it comes to how to speak fluent Mandarin, I
suggest that you learn a Bunch of pronunciation rules first, which are quite different
from the English ones. Another suggestion is to practice speaking. As one saying goes,
“Practice makes perfect.” However, my English is just OK and I have many problems
with my study. I really hope that you can give me good advice on how to study
English. I believe we both can make much progress with each other’s help.
Looking forward to your reply soon!

The next day, we got a 27 message that another buyer had offered a much higher price.

Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more
common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world
in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more
like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when
someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant.
You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks.
The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family
member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications
in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these
spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot”
robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help
guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make
recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other
social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We
have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.
41．How are social robots different from household robots?
A．They can control their emotions.
B．They are more like humans.
C．They do the normal housework.
D．They respond to users more slowly.
42．What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?
A．Communicate with you and perform operations.
B．Answer your questions and make requests.
C．Take your family pictures and deliver milk.
D．Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.
43．What can Oshbot work as?
A．A language teacher.
B．A tour guide.
C．A shop assistant.
D．A private nurse.
44．We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.
A．train employees
B．be our workmates
C．improve technologies
D．take the place of workers
45．What does the passage mainly present?
A．A new design idea of household robots.
B．Marketing strategies for social robots.
C．Information on household robots.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．An introduction to social robots.

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and
borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my
strange problem — inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled
a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of
a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.
He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the
space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical (相同的)to my dog. I ran my
fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle
with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the
library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with
difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like
mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog
was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the
final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running
together.
My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a
book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books
could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般的) experience that summer, but she
saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And
years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in
literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has
held.
46．The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____.
A．encourage him to do more walking
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．let him spend a meaningful summer
C．help cure him of his reading problem
D．make him learn more about weapons
47．The book caught the author’s eye because_____.
A．it contained pretty pictures of animals
B．it reminded him of his own dog
C．he found its title easy to understand
D．he liked children’s stories very much
48．Why could the author manage to read the book through?
A．He was forced by his mother to read it.
B．He identified with the story in the book.
C．The book told the story of his pet dog.
D．The happy ending of the story attracted him.
49．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The author has become a successful writer.
B．The author’s mother read the same book.
C．The author’s mother rewarded him with books.
D．The author has had happy summers ever since.
50．Which one could be the best title of the passage?
A．The Charm of a Book
B．Mum’s Strict Order
C．Reunion with My Beagle
D．My Passion for Reading
D
Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me
for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and
brave — and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.
Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom
because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying
at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or
circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.
Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat. And there is
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill,
sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.
Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than
physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he
weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a
huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so
frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹) —
and stopped him cold.”
Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired
overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely,
there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of
success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person
who tries to do nothing and succeeds.
So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are
greater than you ever dreamed.
51．Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?
A．He faced huge risks.
B．He lacked mighty forces.
C．Fear prevented him from trying.
D．Failure blocked his way to success.
52．What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?
A．Swallow more than you can digest.
B．Act slightly above your abilities.
C．Develop more mysterious powers.
D．Learn to make creative decisions.
53．What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?
A．His physical strength.
B．His basic skill.
C．His real fear.
D．His spiritual force.
54．What can be learned from Paragraph 5?
A．Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．Trying without success is meaningless.
C．Repeated failure creates a better life.
D．Boldness can be gained little by little.
55．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A．To encourage people to be courageous.
B．To advise people to build up physical power.
C．To tell people the ways to guarantee success.
D．To recommend people to develop more abilities.

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Six days a week, up and down the red hills of northeast Georgia, my grandfather brought the
mail to the folks there. At age 68, he retired from the post office, but he never stopped serving
the community.
On his 80th birthday, I sent him a letter, noting the things we all should be thankful for —
good health, good friends and good outcomes. By most measurements he was a happy man.
Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down. At long last, in a comfortable home, with a
generous pension, he should learn to take things easy.
“Thank you for your nice words,” he wrote in his letter back, “and I know what you meant,
but slowing down scares me. Life isn’t having it made; it’s getting it made.”
“The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid, and all
difficult experiences had passed, and we had settled into a comfortable home. No. I go back years
ago, when we lived in a three-room house, when we got up before daylight and worked till after
dark to make ends meet. I rarely had more than four hours of sleep. But what I still can’t figure
out is why I never got tired, never felt better in my life. I guess the answer is, we were fighting for
survival, protecting and providing for those we loved. What matters are not the great moments,
but the partial victories, the waiting, and even the defeats. It’s the journey, not the arrival, that
counts.”
The letter ended with a personal request: “Boy, on my next birthday, just tell me to wake up
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
and get going, because I will have one less year to do things — and there are ten million things
waiting to be done.”
Christina Rossetti, an English poet, once said: “Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to
the very end.” Today, at 96, my grandfather is still on that long road, climbing.
56．What was the author’s grandfather before he retired? (no more than 5 words)
57．What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter? (no more than 10 words)
58．What is the grandfather’s view on life according to his letter back? (no more than 10 words)
59．How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (no more than 10
words)
60．Do you agree with the grandfather’s view on life? Give reasons in your own words, (no more
than 20 words)

Dear Chris.
How are you doing? I’m chairman of the Student Union in Chenguang High School. Our
school will donate some books to the Chinese class of the friendly exchange school in the US. We
will give away different types of books which include language learning, Chinese history, Chinese
poetry, and others. There are, in total, about 300 books. Hopefully, these books will help the
students to know and learn Chinese better.
By the way, when I come to your school to take part in the summer camp in July this year, I
will take the books along with me. If there is something else we can do for you, please make
contact with us in time.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,

第二部分： 阅读理解（第一节共20 小题，第二节5 小题；每小题2 分，满分50 分）
阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible
failure and public humiliation. When children are little we make them read aloud, before the
teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they "know" all the words they are reading. This
means that when they don't know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of
everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid
them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now I'm going to say something about
reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of
books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions
to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy
it and want to go on reading it, that's enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words
mean.”
The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after
I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr. Holt, do you really
mean that? “I said just as seriously, ”I mean every word of it.
During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk. From a
glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It can't be,” and
went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick, in edition with woodcuts. I
said, “Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going?” She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip over
those parts and go on to the next good part. “
This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is — an exciting, joyous
adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can
out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every
child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book.
41．According to the passage, children’s fear and dislike of books may result from.
A．reading little and thinking little B．reading often and adventurously
C．being made to read too much D．being made to read aloud before others
42．The teacher told his students to read ________ .
A．for enjoyment B．for knowledge
C．for a larger vocabulary D．for higher scores in exams
43．Upon hearing the teacher’s talk, the children probably felt that ________ .
A．it sounded stupid B．it was not surprising at all
C．it sounded too good to be true D．it was no different from other teachers’ talk
44．Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?
A．She skipped over those easy parts while reading.
B．She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.
C．She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.
D．She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.
45．From the teacher's point of view, _________ .
A．children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading
B．children should be left to decide what to read and how to read
C．reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．reading involves understanding every little piece of information
B
Graph can be a very useful tool for conveying information especially numbers, percentages,
and other data. A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret. That can be a lot more efficient than
pages and pages explaining the data.
Graphs can seem frightening, but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story. The graph has a
title, a main idea, and supporting details. You can use your active reading skills to analyze and
understand graphs just like any other text.
Most graphs have a few basic parts: a caption or introduction paragraph, a title, a legend or
key, and labeled axes. An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the
data. Captions will usually tell you where the data came from (for example, a scientific study of
400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005). Captions usually summarize the author's main point as
well. The title is very important. It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of
information is being shown. A legend, also called a key, is a guide to the symbols and colors used
in the graph. Many graphs, including bar graphs and line graphs, have two axes that form a corner,
usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph .Each axis will always have a label.
The label tells you what each axis measures.
Bar Graphs
A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts. In Graph 1 , we see that the x-axis
shows grades hat students earned, and the y-axis shows how many students earned each
grade .You can see that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the
vertical measurement. There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this (See
Graph 1).
Line Graphs
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A line graph looks similar to a bar graph, but instead of Bars, it plots points and connects
them with a line .It has the Same parts as a bar graph – two labeled axes –and can be read the
same way .To read a line graph, it's important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the
line segments between the points, This type of graph is most commonly used to show how
something changes over time.
Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first Five days of its spring migration
(See Graph 2).
The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days. The unit of measurement for the y-axis is
kilometers. Thus we can see that, on the first day, the pipit flew 20 kilometers. The line segment
goes up between Day 1 and Day 2,which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2.If the line
segment angled dawn, as between Day 4 and Day 5,it would mean that the bird flew fewer
kilometers than the day before. This line graph is a quick, visual way to tell the reader about the
bird's migration.
Pie Graphs
A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie. The circle is divided into sections, and each
section represents a fraction of the data. The graph is commonly used to show percentages; the
whole pie represents l00 percent, so each piece is a fraction of the whole.
A pie graph might include a legend，or it might use icons or labels within each slice. This pie
graph shows on month’s expense, (See Graph 3).
Food $ 25

If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars，we would go in darkness
happily，the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的)
species on this planet. Instead，we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun's
light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal
beings. Yet it's the only way to explain what we've done to the night: We've engineered it to
receive us by filling it with light.
The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences — called light pollution –
whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of
bad lighting design，which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky.Ⅲ
-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels —
and light rhythms — to which many forms of life, including, ourselves, have adapted.
Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect or life is affected.
In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant
haze(霾)that mirrors our fear of the dark. We’ve grown so used to this orange haze that the
original glory of an unlit nigh — dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadow on Earth, is
wholly beyond our experience, beyond memory almost.
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
We’ve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further
from the truth. Among mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is astonishing, Light is a
powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁铁). The effect is so
powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being “captured” by searchlights on land
or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms. Migrating at night, birds tend to collide
with brightly lit tall buildings.
Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a
million times brighter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint
including most other creatures ,we do need darkness .Darkness is as essential to our biological
welfare, to our internal clockwork, as light itself.
Living in a glare of our making, we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural
heritage—the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night .In a very real sense light
pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being,
which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way—the edge of
our galaxy arching overhead.
50．According to the passage, human being _________ .
A．prefer to live in the darkness
B．are used to living in the day light
C．were curious about the midnight world
D．had to stay at home with the light of the moon
51．What does “ it ”(Paragraph 1) most probably refer to?
A．The night. B．The moon.
C．The sky.
D．The plane.
52．The writer mentions birds and frogs to _________ .
A．provide examples of animal protection
B．show how light pollution affects animals
C．compare the living habits of both species
D．explain why the number of certain species has declined
53．It is implied in the last paragraph that _________ .
A．light pollution dose harm to the eyesight of animals
B．light pollution has destroyed some of the world heritages
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．human beings cannot go to the outer space
D．human beings should reflect on their position in the universe
54．What might be the best title for the passage?
A．The Magic light.
B．The Orange Haze.
C．The Disappearing Night.
D．The Rhythms of Nature.

In 2004, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband, Joe, were united in their
desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their canine lust.
But why, they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it.”
Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes, and yes.” I don’t
believe you.” We will. We promise.
They didn’t. From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day), neither
thought to walk the dog . While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her
shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her , Misty knew this on day one . As
she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large), she calculated,“ The
medium one is the sucker in the pack .”
Quickly , she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合) .
She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I
would understand — which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she became my feet as I
read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.
Even so, part of me continued to resent walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair ,
I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair,” I’ d loudly remind anyone
within earshot upon our return home .
Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact — my husband’s doctor uttered an
unthinkable word : leukemia (白血病) .With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the
hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of
hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she
returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for
medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.
Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.
As the months went by，I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in
the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to
just be before the day’s medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the
day’s upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.
When serious illness visits your household, it's, not just your daily routine and your
assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you acts
differently.
Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe's blood counts or bone marrow
test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She was so
joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis she reminded me
that life goes on.
After Joe died in 2009，Misty slept on his pillow.
I’m grateful – to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I've come to enjoy my walks
with Misty. As I watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now
of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, that no matter how harsh
the present or unpredictable the future , there’s almost always some measure of joy to be extracted
from the moment.
55．Why didn’t the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story?
A．She was afraid the dog would get the family, into trouble.
B．It would be her business to take care of the dog.
C．Her husband and daughter were united as one.
D．She didn't want to spoil her daughter.
56．Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “The medium one is the sucker in the
pack.” (Paragraph 3)?
A．“The middle-aged person loves me most.”
B．“The medium-sized woman is the hostess.”
C．“The man in the middle is the one who has the final say.”
D．“The woman is the kind and trustworthy one in the family.”
57．It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that _______ .
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．Misty was quite clever
B．Misty could solve math problems
C．the writer was a slow learner
D．no one walked Misty the first day
58．The story came to its turning point when ________ .
A．Joe died in 2009
B．Joe fell ill in 2007
C．The walk provided her with spiritual comfort.
D．She didn’t want Misty to be others companion.
59．Why did the writer continue to walk Misty while Joe was in hospital?
A．Misty couldn’t live without her.
B．Her friends didn’t offer any help.
C．The walk provided her with spiritual comfort.

C．Moments of joy suggest that there is still hope ahead.
D．People will change their attitude toward you when you are in difficulty.

One of the best things you can do any time in the semester is go see the professor. So hoof on
over to an office hour and have some one-on-one face time with someone who’ll help you master
the material and improve your grade, to boot. But how should you have this conversation with the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
professor? Here are five insider tips about how to make that office hour really count:
61． No need to get all bent out of shape about going to see the professor. The professor
would actually like to see you and answer your questions. Believe it or not, he or she is on
your side and is eager to see you do well. And besides, he or she has seen many students
stupider than you, so nothing you’re going to ask will set the record for stupidity.
62． Even though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner, the
office hour will go better if it’s just you and the professor. You’ll get in more questions, the
discussion will be tailored to what you need most help on, and two-party communication is
almost always more productive than committee work. You friend can wait outside for the
discussion.
63． If you can’t make the official office hours, most professors are willing to make
individual, appointments to help you out. If you’re lucky enough to land such an
accommodation, though, be sure you’re 100 percent on time. There’s nothing that ticks off a
professor more than making him-or herself available for a custom office hour only to find that
you don’t care enough to come on time. And besides, the professor might leave after ten
minutes, which would make your trip a total loss.
64． If you’re meeting with the professor to go over a paper or test, or to ask questions
about a particular lecture or reading, make sure you bring that paper or test, or your lecture
notes or a copy of the article. The professor doesn’t remember the comments he or she wrote
on your individual piece of work—though he or she will be able to recall them after just a brief
glance at your work. And if you have your lecture notes or the article in hand, you and the
professor will be able to examine specific points that are confusing to you, rather than just
talking in a general way about the contents.
65． Office hours almost always go better if you bring a few specific questions to the
meeting. It’s almost never good to start a meeting with general comments such as: “I didn’t
understand what you said about [main topic of the course]” or “I couldn’t understand any of
your lectures last week.” Much better is to come in with two or three conversation-starters,
about a specific concept, point, or problem you didn’t understand. Keep in mind that in a
fifteen-minute office hour (which is how long these things usually last), two or three questions
are usually the most you’ll have time to discuss.

My old classroom was interesting because three side of the classroom were made from glass.
I enjoyed sit close to the windows and looking at the view. On the left-hand side of the class, I
could easy see the football field. In the mornings, it was full of students exercising. The view from
the back of the classroom is also splendid. Close to the school there was a beautiful park with
many trees around them. Farther in the distance, I could not enjoy the view of snowy mountains.
On the right side of the class was the road. I was always interested to see the drivers in hurry in the
morning. The position of the classroom with its view made me felt like I was dreaming. If I was
only a child when I studied in that classroom, I will never forget it.

英语答案
第一部分：英语知识运用
第一节：单项填空
1．D 【解析】 —嗨，约翰，忙吗？—不忙，有什么事吗?D 项“No．What’s up?”先就对
方的问题进行回答，然后问对方有什么事，符合语境。A 项意为“是的，我确实同意。”；
B 项意为“是的，那会是好的。”；C 项意为“不，你确定吗？”。
2．D 【解析】 句意：多年来，简的祖母一直想写一本儿童读物，但由于种种原因耽搁下
来了。第一空，book 是可数名词，此处表泛指，用不定冠词a；第二空，in the way
是固定词组，意为“挡路，妨碍”。故选D 项。
3．B 【解析】 句意：你有没有听过这样的树，陆上动物和海洋动物都以它们为栖息之所？
be home to 为固定搭配，意为“为……的生息地／栖息地”。
4．A 【解析】 句意：太吵了，我们都没法听到自己说话。情态动词couldn’t 表示“不能”，
符合句意。B 项shouldn’t 表示“不应该”；C 项mustn't 表示“不准”；D 项needn't 表
示“不必”。
5．C 【解析】 句意：研究已经表明，右耳和左耳处理声音（的方式）不一样。A 项produce
意为“制造，生产”；B 项pronounce 意为“发音”；C 项process 意为“加工，处理”；
D 项download 意为＂下载＂。C 项符合句意。
6．A 【解析】 句意：如果你在河里或湖里游泳，一定要调查水下有什么东西。（因为）
经常会有些岩石或树枝暗藏在水里。动词investigate 后的宾语从句中缺少主语，且意
为＂什么＂，所以选代词what。
7．D 【解析】 句意：肢体语言能泄露你的心情，因此，双手交叉站着传出的信号是你处
于防御状态。A 项take away 意为“解除，消除（感情，痛苦等）”；B 项throw away
意为“扔掉，丢弃”；C 项put away 为“将……收起，把……收回原处”；D 项give away
意为“泄露，暴露”。故D 项正确。
8．C 【解析】 句意：爱因斯坦出生在1879 年。当他还是孩童时，很少有人会想到他会
成为一位著名的科学家，他的理论会改变整个世界。由动词“guessed”以及之后的
“would change”可知，此处表示的是从过去某一时刻看将来要发生的动作或状态，
所以用过去将来时。答案选C。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
9．A 【解析】 句意：正如一个简单的单词能改变一个句子的意思一样，一个简单的句子
能改变一个段落的意思。A 项意为“正如，正像”；B 项意为“即使”；C 项意为“直
到……为止”；D 项意为“除非，如果不”。A 项符合句意。
10．C 【解析】 句意：大部分人工作是因为这是无法避免的，相比之下，有些人却是真
正享受工作。 A 项意为“结果”；B 项意为“另外，此外”；C 项意为“相比之下，
与之相比”；D 项意为“总之，最后”。空处前后形成对比，因此选C 项。
11．B 【解析】 句意：我们通常更容易记住那些对我们的感官产生刺激、对我们的情感
有吸引力的东西，而非直截了当的事实。A 项意为“堵住，封锁”；B 项意为“吸引”；
C 项意为“同意，订阅”；D 项意为“偶遇”。所以选B。
12．D 【解析】 句意：当你在看你最喜欢的电视节目时，如果有人进来，并且未经允许
就把电视关掉，你会怎么想？it 在此作形式宾语，指代后面if 从句的内容。
13．C 【解析】 句意：要是我们对食物的来源稍有了解，我们多数人就会明白，我们吃
到嘴巴里的每一口食物都曾经是活生生的生命。A 项意为“稳定地，平稳地”；B 项
意为“立即，马上”；C 项意为“以前，从前”；D 项意为“永久地”。根据语境和“was”
可知选C。
14．D 【解析】 句意：因此，听力是一种积极主动的，而非消极被动的行为，它包含听
到、领会和记住。A 项意为“体贴的，体谅的”；B 项意为“敏感的”；C 项意为“可
靠的，可信赖的”；D 项意为“被动的，消极的”。由“Listening is…not.”可知前后
是相对的。所以选D。
15．B 【解析】 句意：最有效的缓解压力的方法之一就是与你信任的人聊聊你的感受。 A
项意为“产品”；B 项意为“压力”；C 项意为“精力”；D 项意为“力量，势力”。
故B 项符合句意。
1 6．A 【解析】 句意：如果说钢铁重于水，那为什么船能漂浮在海上呢？float 意为“漂
浮”；drown 意为“淹没”；shrink 意为“收缩”；split 意为“分开，分裂”。A 项符合
句意。
17．B 【解析】 句意：这些解释是回答当地新闻记者经常提出的特定的问题的。in memory
of 意为“纪念”；in response to 意为“回答，答复”；in touch with 意为“和……有
联系”；in possession of 意为“拥有，占有”。从“specific questions”可知，前面
是对后面的问题作出的回答。所以选B。
18．D 【解析】 句意：在家听音乐是一回事，去听现场演奏是另外一回事。hear 后的it
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
是宾语，指代music，后面接宾语补足语，it 与perform 是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以
选D。
19．C 【解析】 句意：营造一种氛围，让员工们感觉（自己）是团队的一分子，此乃一
大挑战。先行词是atmosphere，空处在定语从句中作地点状语，“在……氛围中”用
介词in，所以选C。
20．A 【解析】 ——你怎么不考虑出去旅行，比如北京或杭州？——我不介意啊。A 意
为“我不介意，我很乐意做”，表示可以考虑或接受对方的建议，符合语境。 B 项
意为“那么我们很快就会到那儿”；C 项意为“今天就到此为止吧”；D 项意为“这
不是必须的（一个要求）”。所以A 项正确。
第二节：完形填空
21．D 【解析】文章开头提到：作者从哈佛和牛津毕业后，看到一个个朋友高官厚禄，事
业有成，再根据空后的“on their way to impressive careers”可知应选D。well“顺
利地，令人满意地”。
22．B 【解析】根据第一段的描述可知，按照社会的标准来看，他们似乎成功了。Standard
“标准”，符合语境。
23．A 【解析】从上文中的“As they left student life behind”可知，这是他们在这个便宜但
友好的当地酒吧的最后(last) 一杯。故选A。
24．B 【解析】第二段主要讲这些表面看似幸运的人在生活上的一些变化，因此此处表示
从小公寓里搬出，搬(moved)进高楼里。
25．C 【解析】这些人预订饭店，那里一瓶酒的费用相当于大学里的月租金。equal“（在
大小、数字、数量上）等于”，符合语境。
26．C 【解析】根据空后的＂despite their success，they aren't happy＂可知，他们中的许多
人承认(admitted)尽管他们成功，但他们不快乐。
27．A 【解析】根据空后的“of unfriendly coworkers and feel sad for eight-hour workweeks
devoted to tasks”可知，complain“抱怨”，符合语境。
28．B 【解析】从上文中的“feel sad for”可知，空前的tasks 是他们不喜欢的。A 项意为
“（尤指有计划地）分发，分配＂；B 项意为＂不喜欢，讨厌＂；C 项意为＂（为……）
鼓掌＂；D 项意为＂忽略，忽视＂。因此选B。
29．D 【解析】根据上文中的“Some do not respect the companies they work for and talk of
feeling tired and 29 ”可知，他们不尊重他们的公司，并且他们感觉累和空虚。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
根据语境可知，空处与“tired”并列，故empty“寂寥的，空虚的”，符合语境。
30．C 【解析】然而，他们并没有投入他们的工作，他们发现他们工作只是为了维持一种
他们很快已经适应了的生活模式。
31．A 【解析】参见上题解析。A 项意为“习惯的”；B 项意为“指定的”；C 项意为“独
特的，独一无二的”；D 项意为“可用的，可获得的”。故A 项符合语境。
32．A 【解析】 根据上文中的“people often path”和下文中的“the idea of leaving their jobs
to work for something leads them to the same conclusion.”可知，人们经常说想尝试
一份更满意的工作，但这种想法最终都落下同样的结局。因此此处选yet“但是，
然而”表示转折。
33．D 【解析】根据上文中的“leaving their jobs to work for.”可知，他们离开原来的工作
是想做他们认为更加满意的工作。A 项意为“泄露（消息、秘密等），透露”；B
项意为“上交”；C 项意为“放弃”；D 项意为“信任，信赖”。所以D 项符合语
境。
34．C 【解析】下文中提到的他们有贷款、账单、要还清抵押贷款和为退休存钱，所以，
要实现他们前面的想法是不可能的。impossible“不可能的”，符合语境。
35．D 【解析】此处表示有抵押贷款需要还清，所以选Do pay off“付清（还清）债务”。
36．A 【解析】他们承认他们这样的生活有所缺失，但是从这种模式中走出来却又很难。
A 项意为“丢失的”；B 项意为“鼓舞人心的”；C 项意为“下沉的”；D 项意为“明

40．B 【解析】根据下文中的“These are…to consider most”可知，那正是我们许多人忽
视的价值，正是我们最需要考虑的价值。所以，此处选involved，
“be involved in…”
意为“涉及……”。此处意为：追求金钱至上，那么与此同时的个人和社会价值呢？
第二部分：阅读理解
第一节
A
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
41．D 【解析】 由文章第一段中的“When children are little we make them read aloud, before
the teacher and other children”可推断，孩子之所以感到恐惧并且厌恶书籍，是因为
从小老师就让他们在老师和其他孩子面前大声朗读。D 选项符合这种现象的因果关
系。
42．A 【解析】 由第二段第二句“I would like, but I want you to read them only for pleasure”
可知，作者希望他的学生们能够仅仅为了乐趣而阅读，因此选A。
43．C 【解析】 由第三段第一句“The children sat stunned and silent(孩子们目瞪口呆地坐
着)”可知，孩子们在听到老师的话之后非常惊讶，以至于他们都不敢相信这是真的，
故C 选项符合语境。
44．C 【解析】 由第四段中女孩和作者的对话可知，对于作者认为较难的书籍，女孩跳
过了书中难的部分，选择其中简单的、感兴趣的部分阅读，因此可知她学会了欣赏
较难的书籍中的一些部分。
45．B 【解析】 结合最后一段及全文可知，作者主张的是让孩子成为阅读的主体，让孩
子自主选择阅读内容和阅读方式，因此选B。
B
46．A 【解析】 由第三段中的“A legend, also called a key, is a guide to the symbols and colors
used in the graph”可知A 选项正确。
47．D 【解析】 由题意可得，需要统计的是取得C、B、A 的学生总数，结合柱状图，
人数为4+10+6=20，因此选D。
48．C 【解析】 由线形图可得，最高点出现在第三天，pipit 的飞行距离最长，为70 km，
因此选C。
49．D 【解析】 由饼状图可知，面积最大的是Clothing，因此选D。
C
50．B 【解析】 由第一段第二句“Instead，we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living
in the sun’s light”可知，人类习惯生活在有光的环境中，是昼出动物，因此选B。
51．A 【解析】 联系上文中的“what we’ve done to the night”可知，it 指代的是the night，
因此选A。
52．B 【解析】 联系第四、五段的内容可知，作者列举鸟类和青蛙的例子是为了说明光
污染给动物带来的危害，因此选B。
53．D 【解析】 由最后一段中的“…lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
of our being...”可知，光污染让人类忘记了自己在宇宙中的位置，因此人类应该反
省自己，审视自己的位置，所以选D。
54．C 【解析】 结合全文可知，本文主要围绕光污染这个话题展开，本该没有光的黑夜
却被人造光充斥着，这对动物和人类都造成了危害。所以C 项作文章标题比较贴切。
D
55．B 【解析】 由第三段中的“While l was slow to...the one to keep track of her shots...”可
知，作者之所以不同意养狗是因为她知道照顾狗的任务会是她的，因此选B。
56．D 【解析】 结合上下文可知，爸爸、妈妈、女儿对应large、medium、small，而照顾
小狗的任务由妈妈承担，所以D 选项“女人在这个家庭里是友好并值得信赖的人”，
符合题意。
57．A 【解析】 第三段的主要意思是爸爸和女儿本来说好要照顾小狗，可是只坚持了一
天，而Misty 在第一天就知道妈妈是会一直照顾自己的人。所以Misty 很聪明。
58．B 【解析】 由全文可知，故事的转折点应该是妈妈对小狗的态度发生变化的时候，
而她态度的变化是在Joe 检查出患了白血病的时候，因此选B。
59．C 【解析】 由第八段中的“The walk in the morning. go to white noise”可知，每天带
着Misty 散步给作者带来了精神安慰，因此选C。
60．C 【解析】 由文中内容尤其是最后一句中的“no matter…some measure of joy...”可知，
作者想要表达的信息是：不管现在是多么艰难或是未来有多么不可预测，几乎总能
从中获得一些乐趣，因此生活总是会有希望。因此，C 项正确。
第二节
61．E 【解析】 根据空后的“No need to get all bent out of shape”可知E 项符合语境。bent
out of shape 是习惯用法，意为“相当不安的”。
62．F 【解析】 根据该段中的“Even though…go better if it’s just you and the professor”及
“Your friend can wait outside”可知F 项符合题意。
63．D 【解析】 根据该段中的“be sure you’re 100 percent on time...you don’t care enough to
come on time”可知答案为D。
64．C 【解析】 根据该段中的“make sure you bring that paper or test, or your lecture notes or
a copy of the article”可知C 项正确。
65．A 【解析】 根据该段的首句及倒数第二句的内容可知答案为A。
第三部分：写作

【解析】
第一处：side 改为sides。考查名词复数。前面为数词three，side 为可数名词，所以要用复
数形式。
第二处：from 改为of。考查介词。be made of“由……组成”，可以看得出原材料，be made
from“由…组成”，看不出原材料。
第三处：sit 改为sitting。考查非谓语动词。enjoy 后要接动词—ing 形式。
第四处：easy 改为easily。考查副词。此处修饰动词see，需要用副词。
第五处：is 改为was。考查时态。从上下文的时态可知，此处应用一般过去时。
第六处：them 改为it。考查代词。此处代词指代前面的park，是单数，所以用it。
第七处：could 后的not 去掉。考查上下文逻辑。根据上下文内容可知，从远处可以看到雪
山，故将could 后的not 去掉。
第八处：in 后面加a。考查冠词。in a hurry 是固定词组，意为“匆忙”。
第九处：felt 改为feel。考查非谓语动词o make sb. do sth．意为“使某人做某事”，此处应
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
用动词原形作宾补。
第十处：If 改为Although/Though 。考查连词。此处意为“虽然”，应用Although 或Though
来引导让步状语从句。
第二节：书面表达
【范文赏读】
When I Have a Different Opinion
We may have different opinions in organizing class activities. We may have various ways to
deal with such a situation. When I have a better idea, I would choose to stick to it. By doing so, I
can not only share good ideas with others but also learn to express myself clearly.
Once we were discussing where to go for an outing. Most of my classmates wanted to go to a
park while I had an idea of going to a nicer place. I managed to persuade my classmates into
accepting my idea. We did have a good time that day. Good opinions are worth sticking to because
they can benefit us all.
When I Have a Different Opinion
We may have different opinions in organizing class activities. When I have a different
opinion, I may choose to give it up and respect the opinion of the majority.
The main reason for my choice is that being brought up in a culture emphasizing collectivism,
I tend to sacrifice my own interest for the group benefit. Once we were left to decide whether to
have a picnic in a park or go to a museum. I would love to go to a museum, but most of my
classmates wanted to go for a picnic. Without hesitation, I decided to follow them and we did
have lots of fun that day. Sometimes giving up a little can mean getting more.

Dear Alfred，
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life．
Growing up，I had people telling me I was too slow，though，with an IQ of 150+ at 17，I’m
anything but stupid．The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍)．Anxious
all the time，I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time．
However，when something did interest me，I could become absorbed．In high school，I
became curious about the computer，and built my first website． Moreover，I completed the
senior course of Computer Basics，plus five relevant pre-college courses．
While I was exploring my curiosity，my disease got worse．I wanted to go to college after
high school，but couldn’t． So，I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered
the online computer courses of your training center．
Since then，I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics．Currently，
I’m learning your Probability course．I have hundreds of printer paper，covered in self-written
notes from your video．This has given me a purpose．
Last year，I spent all my time looking for a job where，without dealing with the public，I could
work alone，but still have a team to talk to．Luckily，I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this
month and have been going full steam ahead．I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful
profession，without going to college，and be just as good as，if not better than, my competitors．
Thank you． You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart． For the first time, I feel good
about myself because I’m doing something，not because someone told me I was doing good． I
feel whole．
This is why you’re saving my life．
Yours，
Tanis

Surviving Hurricane Sandy(飓风桑迪)
Natalie Doan，14，has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway，New York．Living just a few blocks
from the beach，Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house．“It’s the ocean
that makes Rockaway so special，” she says．
On October 29，2012，that ocean turned fierce． That night，Hurricane Sandy attacked the
East Coast，and Rockaway was hit especially hard．Fortunately，Natalie’s family escaped to
Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed．
When they returned to Rockaway the next day，they found their neighborhood in
ruins．Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away．All around her，
people were suffering，especially the elderly．Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to
temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn．
In the following few days，the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired
Natalie．Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys．Neighbors devoted their
spare time to helping others rebuild．Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water
and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings．
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me，” Natalie says． “but I can
always choose how I deal with it．”
Natalie’s choice was to help．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to
help．Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting
when his house burned down．Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced．
In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids：Christopher, who received a
new basketball；Charlie, who got a new keyboard．Natalie also worked with other organizations to
bring much-need supplies to Rockaway．Her efforts made her a famous person．Last April, she
was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change．
Today，the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway，but hope is in the air．The
streets are clear，and many homes have been rebuilt． “I can’t imagine living anywhere but
Rockaway,” Natalie declares． “My neighborhood will be back，even stronger than before．”

California Condor’s Shocking Recovery
California condors are North America’s largest birds，with
wind-length of up to 3 meters．In the 1980s, electrical lines and
lead poisoning(铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out．Now,
electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to
rescue these big birds．
In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred(繁殖)．Since
1992，there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild，and there are now more than 150
flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico．
Electrical lines have been killing them off． “As they go in to rest for the night, they just
don’t see the power lines,” says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo． Their wings can bridge the gap
between lines, resulting in electrocution(电死) if they touch two lines at once．
So scientists have come up with a shocking idea．Tall poles, placed in large training areas,
teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric
shock． Before the training was introduced，66% of set-freed condors died of electrocution． This
has now dropped to 18%．
Lead poisonous has proved more difficult to deal with． When condors eat dead bodies of
other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead． This affects their nervous
systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney(肾) failures and death． So
condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium
EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days． This work is starting to
pay off． The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011．
Rideout’s team thinks that the California condors’ average survival time in the wild is now
just under eight years． “Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for
now,” he says． “They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering
them． ”
63．California condors attract researchers’ interest because they ．
A．are active at night
B．had to be bred in the wild
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．are found only in California
D．almost died out in the 1980s
64．Researchers have found electrical lines are ．
A．blocking condors’ journey home
B．big killers of California condors
C．rest places for condors at night
D．used to keep condors away
65．According to Paragraph 5，lead poisoning ．
A．makes condors too nervous to fly
B．has little effect on condors’ kidneys
C．can hardly be gotten rid of form condors’ blood
D．makes it different for condors to produce baby birds
66．The passage shows that ．
A．the average survival time of condors is satisfactory
B．Rideout’s research interest lies in electric engineering
C．the efforts to protect condors have brought good results
D．researchers have found the final answers to the problem
D
Why College Is Not Home
The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and
the development of adult identity．However，now they are becoming an extended period of
adolescence，during which many of today’s students and are not shouldered with adult
responsibilities．
For previous generations，college was decisive break from parental control；guidance and
support needed to come from people of the same age and from within． In the past two decades,
however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cell phones，email and
social media ，have increased significantly． Some parents go so far as to help with
coursework． Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family
to autonomy and adult responsibility，universities have given in to the idea that they should
provide the same environment as that of the home．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility，college needs to be a time of
exploration and experimentation．This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about
oneself both intellectually(在思维方面) and personally． While we should provide “safe spaces”
within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority
views． Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning．
Learning to deal with the social world is equally important ． Because a college
community(群体) differs from the family，many students will struggle to find a sense of
belonging． If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking
pattern，they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex
community．
Moreover，the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up
against another characteristic of young adults：the response to being controlled by their elders．If
acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined(规定) and controlled，the insensitive or
aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged．
It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out，particularly when there are
reasons to do so．Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national
emergency．What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescent’s desire for autonomy and
their understanding of an unsafe world．Therefore，there is the desire for their dorms to be
replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth．
Every college discussion about community values，social climate and behavior should
include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation，
of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery．
67．What’s the author’s attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?
A．Sympathetic B．Disapproving
C．Supportive D．Neutral
68．The underlined word “passage” in Paragraph 2 means ．
A．change B．choice
C．text D．extension
69．According to the author，what role should college play?
A．To develop a shared identity among students
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．To define and regulate students’ social behavior
C．To provide a safe world without tension for students
D．To foster students’ intellectual and personal development
70．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?
A．
B．
C．
D．
I：Introduction P：Point Sp：Sub-point C：Conclusion

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes We decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh
the risk and the reward，the risk seems worth tasking． 71 Some of us enjoy activities that
would surprise and scare the rest of us．Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains
work．
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early
humans．Risk-takers were better at hunting，fighting，or exploring． 72 As the quality of

Risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next，humans ended up with a sense of
adventure and a tolerance for risk．
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well，even 200,000 years ago，too much
risk-taking could get one killed． A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave
types． As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today． So
maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it． 73
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to
take risks increases during your teenage years． 74 To help you do that, your brain increases
your hunger for new experiences． New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain
raises your tolerance for risk as well．
75 For the risk-seekers，a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for
the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active．
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains,
the waves or the shallow end of the pool．
A．It all depends on your character．
B．Those are the risks you should jump to take．
C．Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival．
D．Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest．
E．This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world．
F．However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards．
G．New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation．

第二部分：知识运用
第一节单项填空
21．C【解析】句意：杰克正在实验室里工作的时候，突然停电了。本句使用了句式结构be
doing sth．When…“正在做某事时突然……”，此时前一分句用过去进行时，后一分句
用一般过去时。因此选C。
22．A【解析】句意：我住在一对夫妻的隔壁，他们的孩子总是很吵闹。分析句子结构可知，
空处在此引导定语从句修饰a couple，且关系词在从句中作定语，故用关系代词 whose。
23．D【解析】——打扰一下，你在等着（看）哪一部电影？——新（上映）的《星球大战》。
我们已经在这里等了两个多小时了。根据时间状语及语境判断，此处表示动作从过去开
始，持续到现在，并且有可能继续下去，应该用现在完成进行时。
24．C【解析】句意：你的支持对我们的工作很重要。你能做的任何事都会有所帮助。分析
句子成分和句意可知，本空需要连接代词引导主语从句并在从句中作do 的宾语，表示
“无论什么”，故用Whatever 引导这个主语从句。
25．B【解析】句意：这本英文小说我已经读了一半了，这个周末我将尽力把它读完。语境
表示“已经读了一半”，应该用现在完成时表示说话之前已经完成的动作，并且这个动
作的结果对现在的情况仍有影响。
26．D【解析】句意：为了更容易与我们取得联系，你最好把这张卡片放在手边。分析句子
成分可以看出，本空在句中作目的状语，因此用不定式To make。
27．C【解析】句意：我爷爷虽然已经90 多岁了，但他有时还打网球。根据句意并分析句
子成分可知，本空需要从属连词引导让步状语从句。even though 表示“尽管，虽然”，
符合句意。as long as“只要”；as if “仿佛，好像”；in case“以防万一”。
28．D【解析】 句意：这些书是一个多星期以前订购的，预计马上会到货。分析句子成分
可知，此处应用非谓语动词；order 与句子主语是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作

状语表示被动和完成。
29．B【解析】句意：雨季最令人愉快的事是人们可以完全摆脱灰尘。分析句子结构可以看
出，本空需要连接词引导表语从句，且连词在从句中不作任何成分，只起连接作用，故
用that 引导这个从句。
30．D【解析】句意：学生们一直在努力学习功课，他们的付出最终会获得成功的。语境说
学生一直在努力学习 ( have been working hard)，由此判断本空叙述将来的动作，应该
用一般将来时；reward 与their efforts 之间为动宾关系，因此这里需要用被动语态。
31．A【解析】句意：我喜欢周末，因为在星期六和星期天我不需要早起。语境表示“不需
要，不必”，故用needn't。
32．B【解析】句意：新建的小木屋排列在街道两边，使这个古镇变成了梦境。句中已经有
谓语动词且前后句间没有连词连接，故空处要用非谓语动词。动词turn 与其逻辑主语
为主谓关系，故用现在分词作结果状语。
33．A【解析】句意：我非常喜欢听音乐，因为它能帮助我放松，让我不再去想一天中其他
的烦心事。根据句意可知，这里应用because 引导原因状语从句，说明喜欢听音乐的原
因。
34．B【解析】 句意：你上个星期为什么不告诉我你的问题呢？如果你告诉我了，我就能
帮你了。根据句意及空后的“could have helped”判断，此处表示与过去事实相反的假
设，应用过去完成时，故选B。
35．C【解析】句意：我不害怕明天，因为我已经见证了昨天并且我热爱今天。根据句意可
知，前后句之间是因果关系，且表示“前果后因”，故用并列连词for。

经死去了。故用by 表示“在……之前，到……为止”。
42．D 这里表示还有20 个孩子染病了，因此选D 表示“生病的”。
43．A 根据语境可知，此处指小镇的政府官员提出了一个解决方案，因此选A 表示“计划，

第三部分：阅读理解
第一节
A
【文章大意】 这是一封书信，作者有注意力缺陷，因此没能实现大学梦，但是一家培
训中心的网站给了作者在线学习的机会，让她的生活有了目标，并且找到了一份好工作。
56．B【解析】题干的“不去读大学”告诉我们，本题的答案应该定位在第四段。该段说，
作者的病情变得更糟了，因此不能去读大学，而这个疾病是第二段说到的ADHD，具体
表现是注意力不能集中较长时间(unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time)，
这与B 项叙述吻合。
57．A【解析】 根据题干的working environment，我们找到第六段的looking for a job，该
段说到作者希望的工作环境：I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to。A 项的
working by herself 与该句的work alone 表达的意思是一致的，因此选A。
58．C【解析】 作者在文章开头直接说明写信的目的“告诉你你的帮助对我的人生是多么
重要”；然后描述自己的病情，未了的大学梦，以及收信人开办的网站给作者带来的影
响，因此本文的写作目的是C：表明作者对于这个培训中心的感激。
B
【文章大意】 这是一篇记叙文。本文的主人公----14 岁的女孩娜塔莉——主动参与重
建遭受飓风重创的家乡。她建立了一个网站，为外界的捐赠者和家乡需要帮助的人结对，同
时帮助很多孩子实现了自己的梦想。她应邀到白宫，并被授予荣誉称号。
59．B【解析】由题干的“returned，after the hurricane”可知，答案应该在第三段。娜塔莉
一家在飓风过后回到家乡，发现街区已变为废墟(neighborhood in ruins)，很多朋友失去
了家园，并且住到了很远的地方。人们都在遭受苦难，特别是老年人。从这些信息可知
选B。
60．A【解析】由第四段第一句中的“the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired
Natalie”可知选A。
61．D【解析】由第七段可知，娜塔莉建立了一个网站，让捐助者与需要帮助的人通过这个
网站建立联系，以此来帮助他们，因此选D。
62．A【解析】本题给出的四句谚语的含义依次为：“小人物也有大作为”；“患难之友才是
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
真正的朋友”；“金窝银窝不如自己的狗窝”；“技术就是力量”。本文介绍的是14 岁的小
女孩娜塔莉如何帮助家乡的重建工作，因此选A。
C
【文章大意】 美国加利福尼亚州的秃鹫因为各种原因濒临灭绝，但在科研人员的帮助
下，秃鹫的种群逐渐恢复生机。
63．D【解析】文章没有直接说美国加利福尼亚州秃鹫引起了研究人员的兴趣，但是结合第
一段和下文的“So scientists have come up with a shocking idea”可推断，因为电线和铅
中毒，20 世纪80 年代加利福尼亚州秃鹫濒临灭绝，因此它们引起了科研人员的兴趣。
64．B【解析】从题干中的electrical lines 可知，答案应定位在第三段。电线能使秃鹫丧命，
因为秃鹫晚上休息的时候看不见电线，而如果它们宽大的翅膀同时搭在两根电线上，它
们就会被电死，因此选B。
65．D【解析】第五段讲述了铅中毒对秃鹫的危害：影响秃鹫的神经系统（A 错），影响秃鹫
繁衍后代的能力（D 正确），导致秃鹫肾衰竭（B 错）。科研人员给秃鹫使用一种化学药
物，帮助它们排出了体内的铅（C 错）。因此选D。
66．C【解析】本文介绍了美国加州秃鹫濒临灭绝的原因以及科研人员为挽救秃鹫而开展的
研究工作。另外，文章的标题也直接表明了本文的主题：保护秃鹫的工作正让秃鹫以令
人惊讶的速度恢复生机。因此选C。
D
【文章大意】 这是一篇议论文。大学生走出了家门，还没有进入社会，因此他们的大
学生活是从受家庭庇护到成为自主承担起成年人职责的人的一个过渡时期。但是随着手机、
邮件和一些社交媒体的应用，大学生依旧受到家庭的管控和庇护。作者就这个现象探讨校方
应该如何处理这个问题。
67．B【解析】题干的continued parental guidance 让我们把答案定位在第一、二段。作者首
先说大学时光应该让学生有自主性的发展，但是如今很多大学生没有肩负起成年人的责
任；第二段分析原因，说这些都是因为家长在孩子读大学之后还通过手机等方式帮助子
女，结果，大学就成了与家庭一样的环境。从这些信息判断应选B，作者对于这种现象
是不赞成的。
68．A【解析】从第二段画线词所在的语境看，此处指从家庭的庇护到有自主性和成年人的
责任之间的转变，因此该词的含义是A，“转变”。
69．D【解析】题干的“大学的角色”是本文后面部分讨论的话题。第四段说，如果学生依
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
靠管理者来规范他们的社交行为和思维模式，他们就不能面对寻找自己身份带来的挑战
（A 错，应该是鼓励他们finding an identity）；第五段说，大学监管和塑造学生的行为表
现会引起学生的反感（B 错）；最后一段说，每个大学关于社会价值观、社会风气和行
为的讨论应该注重学生的自主性和自我规范以及学生既要寻求安全又想自我发现这二
者之间的矛盾（C 错，D 正确）。
70．C【解析】本题考查对文章篇章结构的推断。本文一共有七段，第一段指出本文要讨论
的现象：现在的大学生活与以往不同，很多大学生没有承担起成年人的责任。第二段分
析原因，后面探讨各方应该采取的做法。第三、四、五段是一个话题，说大学的管理者
应该做什么。第六段探讨在大学生活时代，我们应该如何承担起角色的转变，承担起成
年人的责任。最后一段总结全文，回归主题。因此本文的篇章结构应该是C 项。
第二节
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文，作者讲的是有关冒险的科学的探索方面的内容。
71．F 选项F 中的“weigh risks and rewards”与上文的“weigh the risk and the reward”相
呼应，故F 项符合语境。
72．C 选项C 中的“Being better at those things”与上文的“were better at hunting，fighting，
or exploring”相呼应，因此选C。
73．A 前文说人们有各种不同的性格，因此你可能喜欢赛车，或者讨厌赛车，故A 项“这完
全是由你的性格决定的”符合语境。
74．E 根据上文的“your willingness…teenage years”及下文的“hunger for new experiences…”
可知E 项符合语境。
75．G 根据空后的“For the risk-seekers…becomes active”可知此处讲的是面对紧张的局面
时我们的大脑会有不同的反应，故G 项符合语境。
第四部分：书面表达
第一节 【写作思路】 本篇写作要求写应用文的书信，而书信格式的开头和结尾已经照例
给出，不是考查的要点。简略的汉语提纲具有半开放的特点，大部分要点需要我们自己思考
和发挥。写作之前应先梳理背景和提示要点，精心布局，靓丽造句，在不少于50 字的一篇
作文中展现出我们的英语风采。
首先要根据背景提示信息确定我们准备写哪位中国历史人物。此时要注意，人物的选择
不是重点，重点是在描述他的贡献时你能用上自己熟悉的好词好句和各种语法结构。
命题人给出了书信的格式，那么正文该如何开头很关键，此时一定别忘了背景信息：你
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
的英国朋友在给你的邮件中提到他对中国历史很感兴趣。此时我们可以这样开头：Knowing
from your last letter that you're interested in Chinese history and want me to introduce to
you my favorite figure in Chinese history，I feel more than excited．然后开始按提纲提示的写作
范围展开叙述。接着，写完书信的主要内容后别忘了写祝福语，最后才是试卷已经给出的落
款。
【范文赏读】
Dear Jim,
It’s great to hear from you． I feel proud knowing your interest in Chinese history．
As for my favorite figure in Chinese history, it must be Wei Yuan, a great thinker
in the late Qing Dynasty． He, in his book, Haiguo Tuzhi(Maps and Records of the
World), introduced modern technologies and ideas to China． That opened our eyes
to the world． In fact, he inspires me to major in English in college, to be a bridge
between China and the world．
Interested in knowing more? I can find you some books! Just let me know．
Cheers!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
【写作思路】北京卷书面表达第二节照例给出的是四幅图画组成的一个小故事。对于这类
看图作文，我们首先要根据图画读懂故事，提炼要点（通常一幅画就是一个要点），然后再
结合要点布局谋篇，搜寻好词好句，然后组词成句。在布局谋篇时，我们不妨想想如果是写
汉语作文我们会怎么写．如何开头，怎么过渡，最后如何收滗等。这个思考的过程有利于我
们更好地完成写作任务。
比如描述第一幅画的内容，我们可以这样表达：One day，I had hardly reached school when
my attention was caught by a big poster on the wall, saying that it would be Earth Day in afew
days.
【范文赏读】
A week before Earth Day, posters were put up around our school, calling upon
us to join in the actions for a greener earth．

Our class came up with the idea to make better use of used materials． We
brought to our classroom worn-out clothes, pieces of cardboard and empty plastic
bottles, and turned those into dolls, handbags, issue boxes and small vases． That
weekend, we went to a nearby neighborhood and gave them away to the people
there． All were very happy with those unexpected gifts, especially little kids and
elderly people． We did so well that we were invited to share our idea and
experience with all the students of our school．
We are very proud of ourselves and believe we can do more for a better world．

e-Learning: An Alternative Learning Opportunity
Day school Program
Secondary students across Toronto District School Board(TDSB) are invited to take one or two
e-Learning courses on their day school timetable． Students will remain on the roll at their day
school．

Chimps(黑猩猩) will cooperate in certain ways, like gathering in war parties to protect their
territory． But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct (本能)
to help one another． Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves． Even chimp mothers
regularly decline to share food with their children． Who are able from a young age to gather their
own food．
In the laboratory, chimps don’t naturally share food either． If a chimp is put in a cage where he
can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no great effort, a plate that also provides food for
a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull at random ---he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor
gets fed or not． Chimps are truly selfish．
Human children, on the other hand are extremely corporative． From the earliest ages, they
decide to help others, to share information and to participate a achieving common goals． The
psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of expensive with
very young children． He finds that if babies aged 18 months see an worried adult with hands full
trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help．
There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not
taught ．but naturally possessed in young children．One is that these instincts appear at a very
young age before most parents have started to train children to behave socially．Another is that the
helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded．A third reason is that social
intelligence．There are several reasons to Develops in children before their general cognitive(认知
的)skills，
at least when compared with chimps．In tests conducted by Tomtasell, the children did no better t
han the chimps on the physical world tests, but were considerably better at understanding the socia
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
l world．
The cure of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t in what Tomasello calls
what． Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking． But that, even
very young children want to be part of a shared purpose． They actively seek to be part of a “we”,
a group that intends to work toward a shared goal．
58．What can we learn from the experiment with chimps?
A．Chimps seldom care about others’ interests．
B．Chimps tend to provide food for their children．
C．Chimps like to take in their neighbors’ food．
D．Chimps naturally share food with each other．
59．Michael Tomasello’s tests on young children indicate that they____．
A．have the instinct to help others
B．know how to offer help to adults
C．know the world better than chimps
D．trust adults with their hands full
60．The passage is mainly about ____．
A．the helping behaviors of young children
B．ways to train children’s shared intentionality
C．cooperation as a distinctive human nature
D．the development of intelligence in children
C
El Nifio, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman
who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the
amount of fishes caught around Christmas． El Nifio sees warm water, collected over several
years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards
weaken, or sometimes the other way round．
The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places． Rich countries gain more
from powerful Nifio, on balance, than they lose． A study found that a strong Nifio in 1997 helped
American’s economy grow by 15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvest, farmers in
the Midwest gained from extra rain． The total rise in agricultural in rich countries in growth than
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
the fall in poor ones．
But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames． A multi-year drought (干旱）in
south-east Brazil is becoming worse． Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve
the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters．
The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage
worth $36 billion around the globe． But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much
is known about how they happen that governments can prepare． According to the Overseas
Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades
has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards． This is
despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction．
Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施）can reduce the spread of disease． Better
sewers (下水道）make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of
bad stomach． Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine
after floods． According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related
to El Nino’s harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link． Though the
relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least
reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people． Since the
poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their
losses needs to be the priority．
61．What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?
A．It is named after a South American fisherman．
B．It takes place almost every year all over the world．
C．It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas．
D．It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean．
62．What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected?
A．Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall．
B．Droughts become more harmful than floods．
C．Rich countries’ gains are greater than their losses．
D．Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically．
63．The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．more investment should go to risk reduction
B．governments of poor countries need more aid
C．victims of El Nino deserve more compensation
D．recovery and reconstruction should come first
64．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To introduce El Nino and its origin．
B．To explain the consequences of El Nino．
C．To show ways of fighting against El Nino．
D．To urge people to prepare for El Nino．

Not so long ago, most people didn’t know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was going to
become． She was just an average high school athlete． There was every indication that she was
just another American teenager without much of a future． However, one person wants to change
this． Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and was
convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness． Her time were not exactly impressive,
but even so, he seemed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had
overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking． He decided to offer Shelly Ann a
place in his very strict training seasons． Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few
year later at Jamaica’s Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked
number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica’s unchallenged queen of the sprint(短跑)．
“Where did she come from?” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she
must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again
without signs． But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder． At the
Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by
becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold． She did it again
one year on at the World Championship in Briton, becoming world champion with a time of 10．73
— the fourth record ever．
Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile． She has a mental toughness that did not
come about by chance． Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything
but smooth and effortless． She grew up in one of Jamaica’s toughest inner-city communities
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her
mother and two brothers． Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really
violent and overpopulated place． Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in
the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she
lived． Sometimes her family didn’t have enough to eat． She ran at the school championships
barefooted because she couldn’t afford shoes． Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen,
had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop
after she had her first baby．Maxime’s early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities
gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of
poverty．One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track,
and she was ready to sacrifice everything．
It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of
Waterhouse． On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and
commitment finally bore fruit． The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living
in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of
sports．
But Shelly-Ann’s victory was far greater than that．The night she won Olympic gold in
Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets
stopped．The dark cloud above one of the world’s toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply
disappeared for a few days．“ I have so much fire burning for my country，” Shelly said．She
plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in
Waterhouse．She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons．She intends to fight
to make it a woman’s as well as a man’s world．
As Muhammad Ali puts it, “ Champions aren't made in gyms．Champions are made from
something they have deep inside them．A desire, a dream, a vision．” One of the things
Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth．
65．Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann?
A．He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble．
B．He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses．
C．She had big problems maintaining her performance．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets．
66．What did the sprinting world think of Shelly-Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games?
A．She would become a promising star．
B．She badly needed to set higher goals．
C．Her sprinting career would not last long．
D．Her talent for sprinting was known to all．
67．
What made Maxime decide to train her daughter on the track?
A．Her success and lessons in her career．
B．Her interest in Shelly-Ann’s quick profit．
C．Her wish to get Shelly-Ann out of poverty．
D．Her early entrance into the sprinting world．
68．
What can we infer from Shelly-Ann's statement underlined in Paragraph 5?
A．She was highly rewarded for her efforts．
B．She was eager to do more for her country．
C．She became an athletic star in her country．
D．She was the envy of the whole community．
69．

A．players should be highly inspired by coaches

C．hard work is necessary in one’s achievements
D．motivation allows great athletes to be on the top

in such ways, he or she is participating in what I’ve called a “social prosthetic (义肢的）system．”
Such systems do not need to operate face-to-face, and it’s clear to me that the Internet is
expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems． It’s already a big bank of many
minds． Even in its current state, the Internet has extended my memory and judgment．
Regarding memory: Once I look up something on the Internet, I don’t need to keep all the
details for future use—I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do
so． More generally, the Internet functions as if it were my memory． This function of the Internet
is particularly striking when I’m writing; I’m no longer comfortable writing if I’m not connected
to the Internet． It’s become natural to check facts as I write, taking a minute or two to dip into
PubMed, Wikipedia, or other websites．
Regarding judgment: The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large． For
example, when I’m writing a textbook, it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions
of a key term, which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning． But more than that, I
now regularly compare my views with those of many others． If I have a “ new idea,” I now
quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it, or something similar—and I
then compare what I think with what others have thought． This certainly makes my own views
clearer． Moreover, I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by
reading about those of others on the Internet．
These effects of the Internet have become even more striking since I’ve begun using a
smartphone． I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact, watch a video, read weibo． Such
activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time (such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a
lunch meeting)．
But that’s the upside (好处)．The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my
thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea． Those opportunities are
now fewer and farther between．

Version 1:
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
.
On-line voting becomes increasingly popular, and many competitions get people involved in
it. It is beneficial to some people, while it puts others into a dilemma over whether to vote or
not.
In my opinion, on-line voting is an inseparable part of modern life and should be welcomed,
since it is no more than a way to participate in public life. It makes no difference from ordinary
voting events, in which candidates go around to seek supports. In addition, the Internet makes
surveying and voting easy and convenient, regardless of time and space. Furthermore, voting on
the Internet makes instant feedback possible.
To be honest, voters sometimes feel annoyed, not because they hate voting, but because
they are divided between emotion and fairness. Things will turn for the better if we can work out
some participation rules for people to obey. Therefore, I hold a positive attitude towards on-line
voting.
Version 2:
Internet voting is quite popular nowadays. Many people are somewhat puzzled at the
negative side of the voting, although some are quite happy with it, and active in doing it.
In my opinion, internet voting has begun to show its negative impacts on people and society.
Firstly, people may feel forced when asked to do things that they don't want to. Secondly, voting
of this kind does not depend on the strong points of the competitors, but rather on how many
social-networking resources they have. Thirdly, the voters or even the competitors in many cases
are possibly taken advantage of by the organizers for commercial purposes.
In short, internet voting, to some extent, is unfair, if immoral, and cannot be trusted.
Therefore, rules should be worked out and strictly observed. Everyone in our society should help
those in need, but it is more important to be sincere and earnest.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have
superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in
your life．
Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to
improve the world．
They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a
difference in the lives of others．
We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor． Your lives are
busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams． But
we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and
energy to something much larger than yourself． Find an issue you are interested in and learn
more． Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause． Whatever you do, don’t be
a bystander． Get involved． You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference
when you’re older． But why not start now?
Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty
years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives． It has changed who we are and
continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in
the years ahead．

In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of
indigenous(土著的) people． Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their
own social customs． And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a
colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946． In theory, they should live by the French law
is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the
world．
The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman
form Paris called Gin． Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of
this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only
250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
“I have a special love for the French Guianese people． I have worked there on and off for
almost ten years,” says Gin． “I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them． Thus I have
been allowed to gain access to their living environment． I don’t see it as a lawless land． But
rather I see it as an area of freedom．”
“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,”
continues Gin． “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific
worlds more clearly．”
His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time． These pictures show
people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for． These local citizens now
have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the
modern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also
alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide．
28．Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?
A．They seldom follow the French law．
B．They often ignore the Guianese law．
C．They are separated from the modern world．
D．They are both Guianese and French citizens．
29．Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guianese as _________．
A．a tour guide B．a geographer C．a film director D．a photographer
30．What is Gin’s attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?
A．Cautious． B．Doubtful． C．Uninterested． D．Appreciative．
31．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．The modern French lifestyle． B．The self-supporting hunting．
C．The uncivilized hunting． D．The French Republic．

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good
night’s sleep． But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a
cow at night．
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which
has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk
powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night．
Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active
and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study
published in The Journal of Medicinal Food．
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer．
While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up
to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at
night．
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of
the calcium content, which helps people to relax．
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as
the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening． The more fat you take in before bedtime,
the greater burden you will put on your body at night．
32．According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______．
A．started sleep more easily B．were more anxious
C．were less active D．woke up later
33．Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?
A．It’s been tested on mice for ten years B．It can make people more energetic
C．It exists in milk in great amount D．It’s used in sleeping drugs
34．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Night Milk and Sleep B．Fat Sugar and Health
C．An Experiment on Mice D．Milk Drinking and Health
35．How does the author support the theme of the text?
A．By giving examples． B．By stating arguments．
C． By explaining statistical data． D． By providing research results．

Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries． 36 In
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men． One reason for this is
biological．
One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones
between men and women． 37 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce
hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力)． These hormones also have a positive effect
on the heart and blood flow． In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die
from heart attacks．
38 They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections． This means that wo
men generally ger sick less often and less seriously than men． The common cold is a good exam
ple: women, on average, get fewer colds than men．39 Scientists are still not exactly sure how
influence aging, but they believe that they do． Some think that a woman’s body cells have a ten
dency(向) to age more slowly than a man’s． Others think that a man’s body cells have a tenden
cy to age more quickly． 40
A．However, women, on average, live longer．
B ．The biological factor plays an important part．
C． Women are also helped by their female genes．
D． The female hormones also protect the body in another way．
E． Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities．
F． Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life．
G． Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control carious body functi
ons．

第三部分 英语知识运用
第一节 完形填空
【文章大意】本文是记叙文。Lainey 有较高的阅读能力，但是她不喜欢阅读，她就是一
个典型的不喜欢阅读的孩子。但是如果阅读的话题够吸引人，并且周围的人能做榜样参与到
阅读过程中，Lainey 这样的孩子还是会喜欢上阅读的。
41．D 根据句中的“She had good grades”以及“but she did not like to read”可知，Lainey
的阅读能力已经超过三年级的水平了，但问题是她不愿意阅读。根据语境可知，此处用
介词above，意为“（能力、水平等）高于，胜过”。
42．B 根据该句中的关键信息“her Aunt Dede”可知，空格处用niece，意为“外甥女，侄
女”。
43．C roll one's eyes 意为“翻白眼”，该短语符合语境，因为Lainey 不喜欢阅读。
44．A 文中讲到Dede 阿姨是一位老师。她曾经给班上的学生读过哈利·波特的故事，大家
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
都很喜欢。甚至班上最小的孩子也深深地被故事情节所吸引( attracted)o 根据语境可知，
空格处用Even，表示“甚至”。
45．D 参见上题解析。attract 意为“吸引”，符合语境。Surprise “使感到惊奇”，annoy
“使烦恼”，puzzle“使困惑”，都不符合语境。
46．C 根据上文的“had read the book to her students”可知，此处表示孩子们都饶有兴趣地
听故事。故空格处用listened。
47．D 孩子们喜欢哈利·波特的故事，所以他们满腔热情地参与讨论。enthusiastically“满
腔热情地，热烈地”符合语境。suspectedly“怀疑地”，anxiously“焦虑地”，calmly“沉
着地”，都不符合语境。
48．B Lainey 对哈利·波特的故事不感兴趣，且第一段中Lainey 说的“Borrrring”也是提
示，所以此处用形容词 boring。
49．A 下文中的“there are lots of pictures”暗示此处用名词pictures。
50．C 结合上文内容可知，Dede 阿姨说Lainey 错了，《哈利·波特》中有插图。所以此处
用形容词wrong。
51．A Dede 阿姨说《哈利·波特》中的每一页都有很多的画面，你只需要阅读文字来想象
它们。空格后的“It's like magic”也暗示答案。see 在此处意为“想象”。
52．A “想得美，Dede 阿姨”，Lainey 没好气地回答说。 sourly“闷闷不乐地，没好气地”，
符合语境。patiently“耐心地”，eagerly“急切地”，shyly“羞怯地，胆怯地”，不符合
语境。
53．B 上文中的“Nice try”暗示了答案，此处表示Dede 阿姨准备好了再次尝试激发Lainey
对阅读的兴趣。
54．D Dede 阿姨说如果Lainey 不喜欢看《哈利·波特》就还给她，也许Lainey 的母亲喜欢
听故事。give back“归还，送回”，符合语境。
55．A 参见上题解析。enjoy doing“喜欢做某事”。
56．B 下文中“Please read a little...”是请求。 request“请求”，符合语境。decision“决
定”，comment“评论”，promise“承诺”，不符合语境。
57．C Lainey 要求读大声些。语境表明此处用louder。
58．C 上文说Lainey 不喜欢阅读，所以此处用unwilling，意为“不情愿的”。 unpleasant
“使人不愉快的”，innocent“无辜的”，independent“独立的”，不符合语境。
59．D 结合语境可知，如果Lainey 对故事的话题感兴趣，阅读还是可以令她感到兴奋的。 be
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
excited about“对……感到兴奋，因……而激动”，符合语境。
60．A 此处表示把Lainey感兴趣的文学作品提供给她时，她会去阅读，而且会很激动。present
意为“提供，呈现”。concern“涉及，关系到”，disturb“打扰”，replace“代替”，不
符合语境。
第二节
【文章大意】 熊猫是全世界的人们都喜欢的动物。文章介绍了一只野生大熊猫照顾小
熊猫的情况。
61．is loved 考查动词的时态和语态。句子主语为The giant panda，与love 之间是被动关系，
且表示客观事实，故用一般现在时的被动语态。
62．recently 考查副词。根据句子结构可知，此处用副词作状语。
63．caring、careful 考查形容词。根据句子结构可知，此处用形容词作定语。 caring“关心
他人的”；careful“谨慎的，小心翼翼的”。
64．to eat 考查不定式。根据句子结构可知，此处用动词不定式作定语修饰不定代词something。
65．enemles 考查名词的数。根据语境可知，此处用名词的复数形式。
66．When/If 考查连词。当熊猫宝宝哭泣的时候／如果熊猫宝宝哭泣，熊猫妈妈会前后摇晃
熊猫宝宝，而且会轻轻地拍它。语境表明，此处用连词When 或If 引导状语从句。
67．for 考查介词。表示一段时间用介词for。
68．its 考查代词。根据句子结构可知，此处应用形容词性物主代词。
69．drove 考查时态。此处讲过去发生的事，所以用一般过去时。

第一处：so→but。母亲有一份全职工作，但是她还要做大部分的家务活。根据语境可知，
前后分句间为转折关系，所以用连词but。
第二处：houseworks→housework。 housework 为不可数名词，没有复数形式。
第三处：or→and。both...and...是固定用法，故用an。
第四处：get→got。本文讲述的是在母亲节发生过的事，所以用一般过去时。
第五处：去掉on。go shopping“购物”，是固定用法。go on doing sth．意为“继续做某事”，
不符合语境。
第六处：her→his。此处指父亲，所以用物主代词his。
第七处：kitchen 前加the。此处特指“我”家的厨房，故加the。
第八处：what→that/which 或去掉what。根据句子结构可知，此处为定语从句，先行词为
The dishes，关系词在从句中作动词cooked 的宾语，所以用关系代词that/which 引导，
关系代词在从句中作宾语时也可以省略。
第九处：favoritest→favorite。favorite 作名词时，意为“特别喜爱的东西”，该词作形容词时
没有比较级和最高级。分析句子结构可知，此处应用名词favorite。
第十处：moving→moved。母亲既感激又感动。moved 修饰人，moving 修饰物，根据主语
为Mom 可知，要用moved。
第二节 书面表达
【写作思路】本篇书面表达属于提纲式作文，这样的作文看似简单，但是想得高分并不
容易。写作时要注意语法结构的丰富性，词汇运用的准确性。写作要点不能遗漏，时态主要
以一般现在时为主。陈述理由时要表述清楚、规范。

The Season I Like Best
Each of us knows that there are four seasons a year. Different people like different
seasons；my favourite season is spring. I love to smell the fragrance of flowers, see the new
green trees and hear the singing of small birds. There are many busy butterflies and bees over
the flowers. Sometimes it rains, but usually rains quietly. The rain moistens the trees and
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
the flowers. And I can play outside too! Whether we like riding bikes, jogging or going on
long walks, spring allows us to enjoy outdoor activities that we had to put on the back burner
during winter. Of course, there are many other reasons to explain why I'm so excited about
the spring. Thank you, spring!

The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.
Cathy suffered some terrible 16 in her early childhood. After years of regular
treatment, she 17 became healthy.
Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little
head—to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 18 out local swim team. She practiced
hard and finally 19 it. The team practice, 20 was a rough start. She coughed and choked
and could hardly 21 her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to
22 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 23 to go!
I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she refused to 24 and
insisted she go .

intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten—year—old was growing and
changing right before my eyes, into this 27 human being with a passion and a mission. There
were moments of 28 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was
difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a 29 ---ever. But that didn’t stop her from trying.
Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn’t expect any award
but was still there to 30 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was
nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 31 , “The highest honor goes to Cathy!”
Looking around, he continued, “Cathy has inspired us with her 32 and enthusiasm. 33
skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart.”
It was the greatest 34 of my daughter’s life. With all she hade been 35 in her ten
years, this was the hour of true triumph(成功).

Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he
grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that
your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be
muddied and they can go off in different directions.
My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until
the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.
I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working
toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a
“vo-tech” student(技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.
When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good
kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”
I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and
wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).
But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean
shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had
my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I
doubted it , but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.
My son ,with other motorheads,fixed the car. They got parts(零件）from ajunkyard, non-toasting
toaster have been fixed.Neighbours and co-workers trust their car repair to him.
Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a
non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.
These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own
relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.
I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need
mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need
clones in footsteps or anywhere else.
My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.

When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him
weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John

These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from
Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more
productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained
competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George
Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about
themselves, others felt good about them.”
Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31
and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their
boyhood-activity scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time
jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was
surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have
warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less
likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and
economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working----at any age----is
important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and
competence---the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that
people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those
who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live
magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one
loves and to love one’s work.”
46. What do we know about John?
A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.
B. He had few childhood playmates.
C. He received little love from his family.
D. He was envied by others in his childhood.
47. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _____.
A. a description of personal values and social values
B. an analysis of how work was related to competence
C. an example for parents’ expectations of their children
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men
48. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by _____.
A. recording the boys’ effort in school
B. evaluating the men’s mental health
C. comparing different sets of scores
D. measuring the men’s problem solving ability
49. What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Quick to react
B. Having a thin edge
C. Clear and definite
D. sudden and rapid
50. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. competent adults know more about love than work.
B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.
C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.
D. Independence is the key to one’s success.
D
Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more
tiring than not succeeding.
We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue.
In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult.
And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.
Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles
and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most
difficult job first.
Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors.
Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序), never letting
myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of
essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.
Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again
and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over.
When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of
contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day
after dat I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost
unbearable.
One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be
solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me.
Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.
An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that
followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step.
Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had
been depressing.
Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.
51. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .
A. delay tasks B. work hard C. seek help D. accept failure
52. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?
A. Writing essays in strict order.
B. Building up physical strength.
C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.
D. Dealing with the hardest task first.
53. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?
A. Before starting a difficult task.
B. When all the solutions fail.
C. If the job is rather boring.
D. After finding a way out.
54. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .
A. ignore mental problems
B. get some nice sleep
C. gain complete relief
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D. find the right solution
55. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Success Is Built upon Failure
B. How to Handle Performance Fatigue
C. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success
D. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems

第一节：阅读表达（共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分）
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career as an
educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an
early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my
school days in public schools.
My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to
express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with
clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language. I could still be
smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along.
I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I
soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of
climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with
something and do it all the time, you will get better at it..
Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day
I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I
was literate.
Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I
’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally un
known, hard, but interesting.

【全文翻译】
失败有可能是人们曾经有过的最令人疲惫不堪的经历，没有任何事情要比不能成功更累
人了。
我们有两种方式经历这种疲惫：启动疲惫和执行疲惫。处于启动疲惫的状况下，当我们
要做一件事，因为太乏味或是太难，我们会一直往后拖。拖延的时间越长，我们就越感到疲
惫。
这种启动疲惫即使不是真正意义上的身体疲惫，没有表现在我们的肌肉和骨骼上，但实
际上它是真实存在的。解决这种疲惫的办法尽管不容易应用但明显摆在那儿：总是先做最难
的工作。
多年前，有人请我写102 篇关于一些著名作者的好的观点的文章。运用我自己的方法，
我决定按字母顺序进行写作，从不允许自己漏掉任何一个棘手的想法。我每天总是先进行最
艰巨的写作任务来开始我一天的工作，经验证明这样做是奏效的。
执行疲惫更难对付，尽管有了开始展开工作的愿望，但我们似乎还是不能把工作做好。
这项工作困难如此之大，无论我们如何努力，都惨遭一次次的失败。在这种情况下，我尽可
能地努力去做，然后让潜意识占上风。
当计划写《大英百科全书》的时候，我不得不根据文章主题创造目录，像这样的事我以
前从没有做过，日复一日我不断地想出解决办法，但没有一个是有效的。我的疲惫程度几乎
到了难以忍受的地步。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
一天，精神上很疲惫的我写下了这一问题不能得到解决的所有原因。我努力说服自己困
难实际上是这项工作本身造成的，而不是我的原因。放松下来后，我坐在舒适的椅子上，竟
然睡着了。
一个小时以后，我突然醒过来，脑子里有了清晰的解决办法。在随后的几周里，在潜意
识状态下所冒出的解决办法在每一步中都证明是正确的。尽管我像以前一样很努力地工作，
但我没感受到疲倦。成功现在如此令人激动，就像当初失败如此令人沮丧一样。
我相信人类肯定都努力要成功，成功意味着从不感到疲倦。
51．A【解析】根据第二段中的“we keep putting off a task…the longer we delay it，the more tired
we feel”可知应选A，keep putting off a task 与A 项的delay tasks 照应。
52．D【解析】根据第三段的第二句“The solution is... always handle the most difficult job first”
可知，优先解决最困难的任务是避免启动疲劳的方法。
53．B【解析】根据第五段的第三句“Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work,
we fail again and again”可知，当所有的尝试都失败后，人就会感到疲惫。
54．D【解析】 倒数第三段的最后一句“Relieved，I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep”
以及倒数第二段的“An hour later，I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind”
告诉我们，当陷入困境时，不妨暂时放松休息，过一段时间之后，情况自会有所好转，
在无意识的状态下可能会找到正确的方法。
55．C【解析】文章首尾呼应，主题鲜明，主要介绍了摆脱启动疲惫和执行疲惫从而获得成
功的方法。
第三部分：写作
第一节：阅读表达
【文章大意】 本文为记叙文。作者小时候有学习障碍，后来无意中接触到了艺术。艺
术给了他不用语言就可以表达自己的机会，同时也让他意识到只要对某样东西有兴趣并且坚
持下去，就一定会成功。
56. (His) learning disability. Or: Having a learning disability. Or: That he was learning
disabled. Or：He had a learning disability. 根据第一段第三句话“I had a learning disability
from an early age”可知，作者的学习障碍使得他的学校生活很艰难。
57. He could be smart and express himself with clay. Or: Art could help him express himself
without words. Or: He could well express himself with clay/art.根据第二段中的
“The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words...my
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
confidence came along”可知，艺术给了作者不用语言就可以表达内心感受的机会，从
而使他变得自信。
58．If you enjoy something and keep doing it，you will get better at it. Or: The more you practice
something, the better at it you will become. Or: Practice makes perfect. Or:
Practice leads to success．根据第三段最后一句话可知，作者通过攀岩运动意识到，
只要对某样东西有兴趣并坚持下去，就一定会成功。
59．I could read and write．根据本段第一句话“Later I decided to apply my previous experience
to learning how to read and write”可知，作者决定将之前的经验用在学习读写上。故可
推断出经过两年的艰苦努力，作者终于学会了读和写。
60．We should not lose heart in face of difficulties．If we work hard, we will find a way out. Or：
The author's story tells me that I should be confident and practice hard to overcome
difficulties in my life. Or：We should overcome our weaknesses and fears with courage and
determination.

Dear friends,
How time flies! Two weeks have passed since you came to our school for the exchange
program, which we all have benefited from.
During these two weeks, we have studied and lived together, which gives us the opportunity
to promote our friendship. Doing sports as a team has enabled us to know each other better.
Your art, skills are excellent and admirable, which leaves me a deep impression. I think all our
classmates have learned a lot from our communication and the various activities.
Now, on behalf of my schoolmates，I wish you a safe return. I also hope that there will be
more events of this kind in the future.
Thank you.

During the war，my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California．I went
to live there in order to be 21 him． I hated the place ．I had never 22 been so
unhappy． My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty，and I was left in a tiny shack(棚屋)
alone． The heat was 23 - almost 125 0F even in the shade of a cactus(仙人掌)． 24 a soul
to talk to． The wind blew non-stop ,and all the food I ate，and the very air I breathed，were 25
with sand , sand , sand !
I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents．I told them I was 26 and coming
back home．I said I couldn’t stand it one minute longer． I 27 be in prison! My father
answered my 28 with just two lines-two lines that will always sing in my 29 -two lines that
completely changed my life :
Two men looked out from prison bars
One saw the mud ,the other saw the stars
I read those two lines 30 I was ashamed of myself．I made up my mind I would find out
what was good in my present 31 ; I would look for the stars．
I made friends with the natives，and their 32 amazed me． They gave me presents of
their favorite artworks which they had 33 to sell to tourists． I studied the delightful forms of
the cactus ．I watched for the desert sunsets，and 34 for seashells that had been left there
millions of years ago when the desert had been an ocean 35 ．
What brought about this 36 change in me ? The desert hadn’t changed , 37 I had．I had
changed my 38 And by doing so ,I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing
39 of my life．I was excited by this new world that I had discovered．I had looked out of my

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20 小题，第二节5 小题；每小题2 分，满分50 分）
第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
“Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori．
With her eyes shining，Tori brags，“You bet I did．Sean told me two days ago．”
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly，Adam Freedman，
I can tell you that what that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true．Still，
Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School，including
me．Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话)．I have noticed three effects of gossip：it can hurt
people，it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction，and it can cause social pressures in a
group．
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked
about．Usually，gossip spreads information about a topic-breakups，trouble at home，even
dropping out-that a person would rather keep secret．The more embarrassing or shameful the
secret is，the juicier the gossip it makes．Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute
lie．People often think of gossipers as harmless，but cruel lies can cause pain．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
If we know that gossip can be harmful，then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in
another effect of gossip：the satisfaction it gives us．Sharing the latest rumor(传言)can make a
person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t．Similarly，hearing
the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group．”In other words，gossip is
satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感)．
Gossip also can have a third effect：it strengthens unwritten，unspoken rules about how
people should act．Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors
in a group．Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with
is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said，then you can bet that wearing or saying
something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention．The do’s and don’ts conveyed
through gossip will never show up in any student handbook．
The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation．The next time you feel the urge to
spread the latest news，thing about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story”
might have．
41．The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to ．
A．introduce a topic B．present an argument
C．describe the characters D．clarify his writing purpose
42．An important negative effects of gossip is that it．
A．breaks up relationships B．embarrasses the listener
C．spreads information around D．causes unpleasant experiences
43．In the author’s opinion，many people like to gossip because it．
A．gives them a feeling of pleasure B．helps them to make more friends
C．makes them better at telling stories D．enables them to meet important people
44．Professor David Wilson think that gossip can．
A．provide students with written rules
B．help people watch their own behaviors
C．force school to improve student handbooks
D．attract the police’s attention to group behaviors
45．What advice does the author give in the passage?
A．Never become a gossiper B．Stay away from gossipers
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．Don’t let gossip turn into lies D．Think twice before you gossip．

A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-old baby playing with his food might seem to
have little in common．After all，the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very
nature of the physical world，and the baby is，well, just playing…right? Perhaps，but some
developmental psychologists(心理学家)have argued that this “play” s more like a scientific
investigation than one might think．
Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table．Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over
the table edge，it falls in the ground-and, in the process, it belongs out important evidence about
how physical objects interact(相互作用) ; bowls of rice do not flood in mid-sit, but require
support to remain stable． It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it． Instead, babies may form an understanding of
object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even
more about how objects interact． Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation
and the scientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim(to learn about the natural world ),
overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what
I expected?)．
Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical
world in this way---that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using
similar means． For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering,
and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can
have different views and desires from what he or she has, for example, unlike the child , Mommy
actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate．
Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws on how children
learn ,but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists． Why do young children and
scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort-the
desire to explore, explain, and understand our world-is simply something that comes from our
babyhood． Perhaps evolution(进化) provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to
explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as
children． The same cognitive(认知的) systems that make young children feel good about feel
good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists． As some
psychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big
children．”
50．According to some developmental psychologists,
A． a baby’s play is nothing more than a game．
B． scientific research into babies; games is possible
C． the nature of babies’ play has been thoroughly investigated
D． a baby’s play is somehow similar to a scientist’s experiment
51．We learn from Paragraph 2 that
A． scientists and babies seem to observe the world differently
B． scientists and babies often interact with each other
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C． babies are born with the knowledge of object support
D． babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do
52． Children may learn the rules of language by
A． exploring the physical world B． investigating human psychology
C． repeating their own experiments D． observing their parents’ behaviors
53． What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A． The world may be more clearly explained through children’s play．
B． Studying babies’ play may lead to a better understanding of science．
C． Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists．
D． One’s drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows．
54．What is the author’s tone when he discusses the connection between scientists’ research and
babies’ play?
A．Convincing． B．Confused． C．Confidence． D．Cautious．

Two things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket． I have thought
long and hard about it and it’s true． I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t turned a
silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today．
My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my
mother to actually carry it out． Looking back, I honestly don’t know how she did it． Managing
the family budget must have been a very hard task．, but she made it look effortless． If we
complained about not having what another kid did, we’d hear something like, “I don’t care what
so –and –so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room/a car for your birthday/a
lavish sweet-16 party．” We had to earn our allowance(零用钱) by doing chores around the
house． I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table．My brothers
can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house．Like the two little girls growing up at
the White House，we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done)and picked
up after ourselves．We had to keep track of our belongings ,and if something was lost ,it was not
replaced．
It was summer and ,one day ,my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed-and
there it was in the window, White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers ,the basket winked at
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
me and I knew-I knew-I had to have it．
“It’s beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her,“What a neat basket．”
I tried to hold off at first ,I played it cool for a short while． But then I guess I couldn’t at and
it any longer：“Mom, please can I please ,please get it? I ‘ll do extra chores for as long as you say,
I’ll do anything ,but I need that basket，I love that basket．Please ,Mom ．Please?”
I was desperate．
“You know,” she said ,gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believes was
the coolest thing ever,” If you save up you could buy this yourself．”
“By the time I make enough it’ll be gone!”
“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger ,the bike guy．
“He can’t hold it for that long ,Mom ．Someone else will buy it ．Please, Mom，Please?”
“There might be another way,” she said．
And so our paying plan unfolded． My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely
in some hiding place I couldn’t find． Each week I eagerly counted my growing saving increased
by extra work here and there (washing the car ,helping my mother make dinner, delivering or
collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front)．And
then ,weeks later ,I counted ,re-counted and jumped for joy． Oh ,happy day ! I made it! I finally
had the exact amount we’d agreed upon…．
Days later the unthinkable happened． A neighborhood girl I’d played with millions of times
appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny ,new bike that already had all the bells
and whistles． I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster． This horrible
turn of events．
And then came the lesson． I’ve taken with me through my life:“Honey, Your basket is
extra-special,” Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears．”Your basket is special because you
paid for it yourself．”
55．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A． The children enjoyed doing housework．
B．The author came from s well-off family
C． The mother raised her children in an unusual way
D．The children were fond of the US president’s daughters．

Five Things Nobody Told Me about College
As I type this , I am in my university dorm room． A year ago, when I was awaiting to hear
the results of my college applications, I often went to websites for some type of insider look on
what college would be like． However, there’s only so much that prep books, websites, and older
friends can teach． Here are the top 5things nobody told me about college:
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
61
Nobody entering a university knows exactly what they want to study． If they tell you
otherwise, they’re lying and will probably change what they want to purse within the first quarter
of attendance ． During my first quarter at University of California, Riverside (UCR),I thought
that I wanted to study Political Science with its focus on International Affairs, so that’s what I
applied for． However, once I worked with statewide and local government, I realized that a
better fit for me would be Public Policy, and now I am in the process of changing my area．
62
In college, there are so many good chances for you to meet your expectations． However,
there is a very important difference between wanting to do something and applying for
something． In order for you to take advantage of the conferences, research, internships ,and
fellowships that your university offers, apply! Step into your academic advisor’s office, introduce
yourself, and begin making the valuable connections that are necessary to help during the rest of
your college career． Great things happen when you step out of your comfort zone, and you
would be surprised on how many chances exist if you just ask．
63
College is where you meet your bridesmaids, neighbors, and potential bosses． The
relationships you develop now will probably be linked to the ones you value later, so be wise
about the people who you invest yourself in ． You are only one person, and you do not have
time to waste on people who would rather cause drama or mess up with your
purpose． Surround yourself with uplifting individuals who challenge you to be better while
loving you for who you are, and be patient to the people who are the complete opposite of that
description．
64
As a first-year, I was afraid to make any noise towards campus issues that I noticed． It was
not until I became involved in student government that I gained the confidence to handle
projects that I created with the help of ASUCR Office of the President． During my first quarter, I
spoke directly to the Chancellor(校长), asking him for support towards my initiatives(提议), met
with the Vive Chancellors, and cooperated with my teaching assistances to begin my
undergraduate research protect． Nothing good will happen when you are silent．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
65
At my high school, there were about only four active club and organizations that students
could be a part of． Imagine my surprise when I stepped foot onto UCR’s campus, where over 400
organizations exist, ranging from political organizations to karate club． You are not paying all or
your tuition(学费)to merely go to class, study，pass tests and graduate． Make something worthy
out of your experience． Create that you will want to tell your grandchildren one day． It all
begins here, by signing up to join an organization．

When I was a very young children, my father created a regular practice I remember well
years late． Every time he arrived home at end of the day ,we’d greet het at the door． He would
ask who we was and pretend not to knowing us, Then he and my mother would have had a drink
while she prepared dinner and they would talk about his day and hers． While they chat, my
father would lift my sister and me up to sit in the top of the fridge． It was both excited and
frightening to be up there！My sister and I thought he was so cool for putting us there．

项意为“还没有”，都不符合语境，所以这里选B 项。
2．D【解析】句意：这次比赛获胜者的奖励是一次为期两周的巴黎之行。第一空根据for the

3．A【解析】句意：美国的教育体系与英国的教育体系在很多方面差异性不大。根据句意

5．C【解析】句意：虽然在线购物已经改变了我们的生活，但它的影响并不全是积极的。此

第一处：children 改为child。考查名词单复数。根据I 和a 可知，这里应用可数名词单数形
式，故改为child。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
第二处：late 改为later。根据语境可知，此处表示“很多年后”，故改为later。
第三处：end 前添加the。考查冠词。此处at the end of 是固定词组，表示“在……的最后”。
第四处：her 改为him。考查代词。根据上文的he 可知，此处应改为him。
第五处：was 改为were。考查主谓一致。根据we 可知，谓语动词应该用复数形式，故改为
were。
第六处：knowing 改为know。考查动词。pretend (not) to do sth． “假装（不）做某事”，
此处是不定式，后面需要用动词原形，故改为know。
第七处：去掉had。考查动词。根据语境和下文的“would talk”可知，此处应该用would do
结构。
第八处：chat 改为chatted。考查时态。根据本文的整体时态可知，应用一般过去时，故改
为chatted。
第九处：in 改为on。考查介词。on the top of 是固定词组，表示“在……的上面”。
第十处：excited 改为exciting。考查形容词。根据语境和主语为It 可知，此处表示“令人激
动的”，故用-ing 形式的形容词。
第二节：书面表达
【写作思路】 从文章体裁分析，这是较典型的半开放式写作，主要让考生就“Planning
is good，but doing is better”这一名言进行议论，发表自己的看法，同时需要结合具体的事
例而展开论述。所以考生要根据自己的思路，先简述对该名言的理解，然后补充一个详细的
事例来阐述对该句名言的看法，最后还要总结和表态。文章可以从三方面来写，第一部分理
解名言；第二部分重点讲述事例，呈现该名言的作用；第三部分则要简要地进行总结。
【范文赏读】
Planning Is Good, But Doing Is Better
Planning is good as it decides in detail how we do what we want to do. However, a plan can
bear no fruit without being actually carried out．
My experience in the English speech contest last October is a case in point. A month
before the event，I spent hours working out a schedule outlining my goals and practical steps.
After that，I set out to read widely for an inspiring topic, wrote a speech, and practiced its
delivery in beautiful pronunciation with good public speech skills. I finally came out of the
contest as the first prize winner.
I know how I achieved my success. It came from good planning and better doing

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
When I was in fourth grade， I worked part-time as a paperboy．Mrs．Stanley was one of my
customers．She'd watch me coming down her street， and by the time I'd biked up to her doorstep，
there'd be a cold drink waiting． I'd sit and drink while she talked．
Mrs．Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband，"Mr．Stanley and I went shopping this
morning，" she'd say．The first time she said that，soda(汽水) went up my nose．
I told my father how Mrs．Stanley talked as if Mr．Stanley were still alive．Dad said she was
probably lonely，and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile，and maybe she'd
work it out of her system．So that's what I did， and it turned out Dad was right．After a while she
seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地)．
I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn't see Mrs．Stanley for several years．Then we
crossed paths at a church fund–raiser (募捐活动 )．She was spooning mashed potatoes and
looking happy．Four years before，she'd had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk
with．Now she had friends．Her husband was gone，but life went on．
I live in the city now，and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids．She asks me
how I'm doing．When I don't say "fine，" she sticks around to hear my problems．She's lived in the
city most of her life，but she knows about community．Community isn't so much a place as it is a
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
state of mind．You find it whenever people ask how you're doing because they care，and not
because they're getting paid to do so．Sometimes it's good to just smile，nod your head and listen．
21．Why did soda go up the author's nose one time?
A．He was talking fast． B．He was shocked．
C．He was in a hurry． D．He was absent-minded．
22．Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs．Stanley according to Paragraph 3?
A．He enjoyed the drink． B．He wanted to be helpful．
C．He took the chance to rest． D．He tried to please his dad．
23．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase " work it out of her system" ?
A．recover from her sadness B．move out of the neighborhood
C．turn to her old friends D．speak out about her past
24．What does the author think people in a community should do?
A．Open up to others． B．Depend on each other．
C．Pay for others' help． D．Care about one another．
B
It's surprising how much simple movements of the body can affect the way we think．Using
expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful，crossing your arms makes you
more determined and lying down can bring more insights(领悟)．
So if moving the body can have these effects，what about the clothes we wear? We're all well
aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive，sporty or
professional，depending on the clothes we wear，but can the clothes actually change cognitive(认
知的) performance or is it just a feeling?
Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people's powers
of attention．The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists，who are in turn thought to
have close attention to detail．
What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than those who
weren't．Indeed，they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the
Stroop Test (one way of measuring attention)．The researchers call the effect “ enclothed
cognition”，suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many
different ways．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments．Is the writer who wears a
fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more
insightful? Does a chef’s hat make the resultant food taste better?
From now on I will only be editing articles for PsyBlog while wearing a white coat to help
keep the typing error count low．Hopefully you will be doing your part by reading PsyBlog in a
cap and gown(学位服)．
25．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Body movements change the way people think．
B．How people dress has an influence on their feelings．
C．What people wear can affect their cognitive performance．
D．People doing different jobs should wear different clothes．
26．Adam and Galinsky’s experiment tested the effect of clothes on their wearers'
A．insights B．movements C．attention D．appearance
27．How does the author sound in the last paragraph?
A．Academic． B．Humorous． C．Formal． D．Hopeful．
C
There are energy savings to be made from all recyclable materials， sometimes huge
savings．Recycling plastics and aluminum，for instance，uses only 5% to l0% as much energy
as producing new plastic or smelting(提炼) aluminum．
Long before most of us even noticed what we now call " the environment，" Buckminster
Fuller said，" Pollution is nothing but the resources(资源) we are not harvesting．We allow them to
be left around because we've been ignorant of their value．" To take one example，let's compare
the throwaway economy(经济) with a recycling economy as we feed a cat for life．
Say your cat weighs 5kg and eats one can of food each day．Each empty can of its food
weighs 40g．In a throwaway economy，you would throw away 5,475 cans over the cat's 15–year
lifetime．That's 219kg of steel – more than a fifth of a ton and more than 40 times the cat's weight．
In a recycling economy，we would make one set of 100 cans to start with， then replace them
over and over again with recycled cans．Since almost 3% of the metal is lost during reprocessing，
we'd have to make an extra 10 cans each year．But in all，only 150 cans will be used up over the
cat's lifetime – and we'll still have 100 left over for the next cat．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Instead of using up 219kg of steel，we've used only 6kg．And because the process of
recycling steel is less polluting than making new steel，we've also achieved the following
significant savings: in energy use – 47% to 74%；in air pollution – 85%；in water pollution –35%；
in water use – 40%．
28．What does Buckminster Fuller say about pollution?
A．It is becoming more serious．
B．It destroys the environment．
C．It benefits the economy．
D．It is the resources yet to be used．
29．How many cans will be used up in a cat's 15–year lifetime in a recycling economy?
A．50． B．100． C．150． D．250．
30．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A．To promote the idea of recycling．
B．To introduce an environmentalist．
C．To discuss the causes of pollution．
D．To defend the throwaway economy．

How to Remember What You Read
Reading is important． But the next step is making sure that you remember what you've
read! 31 You may have just read the text，but the ideas，concepts and images (形象) may fly
right out of your head．Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read．
● 32
If the plot，characters，or word usage is confusing for you，you likely won't be able to
remember what you read．It's a bit like reading a foreign language．If you don't understand what
you're reading，how would you remember it? But there are a few things you can do．．．Use a
dictionary; look up the difficult words．
● Are you connected?
Does a character remind you of a friend? Does the setting make you want to visit the place?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Does the book inspire you，and make you want to read more? With some books，you may feel a
connection right away． 33 How willing are you to make the connections happen?
● Read it；hear it；be it!
Read the lines．Then，speak them out loud．And，put some character into the words．When
he was writing his novels，Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters．He'd make
faces in the mirror，and change his voice for each character． 34 ．
● How often do you read?
If you read frequently，you'll likely have an easier time with remembering what you're
reading (and what you've read)． 35 As you make reading a regular part of your life，you'll
make more connections，stay more focused and understand the text better．You'll learn to enjoy
literature ‒ as you remember what you read !
A．Are you confused?
B．Practice makes perfect．
C．What's your motivation?
D．Memory is sometimes a tricky thing．
E．Marking helps you remember what you read．
F．But other books require a bit more work on your part．
G．You can do the same thing when you are reading the text !

Easy Ways to Build Vocabulary
It's not all that hard to build an advanced and large vocabulary． Like many things in life，
it's 56 ongoing process， and the best part of the process is that there's enough room for
improvement， 57 means you'll just keep getting better and better． Of course you have to
work at it． You wouldn't think that a few 58 (month) of exercise in your teens would be
enough 59 the rest of your life， and that's also true for building your vocabulary – you
have to keep at it daily， and pretty soon you will find that you have an excellent vocabulary．
One of the 60 (effect) ways to build vocabulary is to read good books． You need
to 61 (real) read at least one good book a week， preferably a classic． This isn't as hard as
it 62 ．(sound)，and it is far better than any other method because you improve your
vocabulary while 63 (read) an interesting piece of literature．Another nice thing is that
you learn both new words and 64 (they) use unconsciously，meaning that you will tend to
use the words 65 (learn) this way in conversations almost automatically．

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A Vacation with My Mother
I had an interesting childhood．It was filled with surprises and amusements，all because of my
mother – loving，sweet，yet absent–minded and forgetful．One strange family trip we took
when I was eleven tells a lot about her．
My two sets of grandparents lived in Colorado and North Dakota，and my parents decided to
spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way．As the first day
of our trip approached，David，my eight–year–old brother，and I unwillingly said good–bye to all
of our friends．Who knew if we'd ever see them again? Finally，the moment of our departure
arrived，and we loaded suitcases，books，games，camping equipment，and a tent into the car and
bravely drove off．We bravely drove off again two hours later after we'd returned home to get the
purse and traveler's checks Mom had forgotten．
David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was
driving while Dad slept："You stand outside the door and play lookout(放哨) while I go，and I'll
stand outside the door and play lookout while you go．" I had terrible pictures in my mind："
Honey，where are the kids?" "What?! Oh，Gosh．．． I thought they were being awfully quiet．"
We were never actually left behind in a strange city，but we weren't about to take any chances．
On the fourth or fifth night，we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy．After driving in
vain for some time，Mom suddenly got a great idea：Why didn't we find a house with a likely–
looking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there? David and I became nervous．To our great
relief，Dad turned down the idea．Mom never could understand our objections(反对)．If a strange
family showed up on her front doorstep，Mom would have been delighted．She thinks everyone in
the world is as nice as she is．We finally found a vacancy in the next town．

第二部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
译文：你会发现，人们每当问你过得怎么样时，是因为他们关心（你），而（他们）这
样做并不是因为他们想要获得什么利益。
21．B【解析】根据第二段中的“her dead husband”可知，Stanley 先生已经去世了，可是
Stanley 太太却说：“Stanley 先生和我今天早上去购物了。”由此可推断出，Stanley 太太
的话使“我”很震惊。结合第三段父亲向“我”解释原因的内容也可以推知当时“我”
是很震惊并迷惑不解的，所以选B 项。
22．B【解析】根据第三段内容可知，“我”不理解为什么Stanley 太太谈论Stanley 先生时
仿佛他还在世。“我”向父亲说了这件事并听从父亲的建议，静静地坐着倾听Stanley
太太的诉说，“我”希望这是有帮助的。
23．A【解析】根据第二至三段内容可知，Stanley 太太刚开始无法接受丈夫去世的事实，常
常向“我”倾诉她去世的丈夫的事，后来“我”接受了父亲的建议，静静地倾听她的诉
说。结合第三段最后一句“After a while she seemed content to leave her husband
over at the cemetery（基地）”可知，不久之后，她慢慢地接受了丈夫去世的事实，
从悲伤中恢复过来。根据全文内容可知，Stanley 太太并没有搬家，故排除B 项；根据
第三段可知，Stanley 太太向“我”倾诉，而“我”只是一个“送报纸的小孩”，并不是
她的老友，故排除C 项；根据第三段可知，她是在为失去丈夫而悲伤，并向“我”倾
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
诉她丈夫的事，并不是关于她自己的往事，故排除D 项。
24．D【解析】根据最后一段内容尤其是“You find it whenever people ask how you're doing
because they care， and not because they're getting paid to do so． Sometimes it's good to
just smile， nod your head and listen”可推知，在我们的社会中，人与人之间需要互相
关爱，哪怕有时候仅仅是微笑、点头和倾听，这些都能够给别人以关心，由此选D 项。
B
25．C【解析】根据文章第四段中的“The researchers call the effect ‘enclothed cognition’，
suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many different
ways”并结合全文可知，人们的衣着能够影响人们的认知表现，故C 项能概括全文主
旨。文章第一段说明肢体动作会影响人们的思维方式，但这只是为了引入话题，并不是
文章的主旨，故A 项错误；文章第二段提出衣着会真正改变人们的认知表现还是这只
是一种感觉的疑问，由第四段中的“suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably
affect our cognition in many different ways”可知，衣着可能会影响人们的认知而不是感
觉，故B 项错误；第五段说明了“具衣认知”理论为各种以衣着为基础的实验打开了
新的思路，但并不是说从事不同职业的人应该穿不同的衣服，故D 项错误。
26．C【解析】根据第三段中的“Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white
lab coat on people's powers of attention”可知，该实验主要测试的是穿着实验室白袍对人
们的注意力的影响，由此选C 项。
27．B【解析】作者最后一段提到从现在开始他要穿着白外套来编辑文章，以此来保持低的
打字出错率，并希望读者穿着学位服阅读文章。因此，作者是在用幽默风趣的语言来表
达自己和读者在现实生活中如何运用“具衣认知”理论，故选B 项。根据最后一段内
容可知，作者的用语都是日常用语，而非严肃的学术性语言，故排除A 项；同理，C
项“正式的”也可以排除；虽然最后一段中有“Hopefully”一词，但该段并不是在说
明作者持乐观的态度，而是作者一种风趣的说法，故排除D 项。
C
28．D【解析】根据第二段中的“Pollution is nothing but the resources（资源）we are not
harvesting． We allow them to be left around because we've been ignorant of their value”并
结合全段内容可知，Buckminster Fuller 认为所谓的污染物就是尚未利用的资源，我们忽
视了它们的价值，由此可知应选D 项。注意解答细节理解题时，考生一定要从文章中
与题干相关的段落和句子中寻找答案。根据该题题干中的Buckminster Fuller 可知，答
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
案应该是在第二段中，所以务必要理解该段的具体含义和Buckminster Fuller 所说的话
的意义。而选项A、B 和C 则完全属于“无中生有”的论断，均可以排除。
29．C【解析】根据第四段中的“But in all，only 150 cans will be used up over the cat's lifetime
- and we’ll still have 100 left over for the next cat”可知，通过循环利用，养一只猫15 年
只需要用掉150 个食物罐，并且还有100 个食物罐可以留下来给下一只猫。由此可知，
真正消耗的食物罐应该是150 个，故选C 项。
30．A【解析】根据文章第一段和第二段可知，作者在文章开头就提出了论点，即循环利用
可回收材料更节能；第三至五段又具体通过养猫所使用的食物罐为例来进一步论证。由
此可推知，作者写本文的目的在于倡导循环利用的理念，故选A 项。
第二节
31．D 根据空前的“the next step is making sure that you remember what you've read”和空后
的“but the ideas，concepts and images（形象）may fly right out of your head”可知，
阅读是重要的，但是你要确保记住所阅读的内容。你可能刚读过了文本，但并没有记
住其中的思想、概念和形象。由此可知D 项“记忆有时候是一件很困难的事情”符
合上下文的衔接，所以选D 项。
32．A 本空是段落主题句。由“If the plot，characters，or word usage is confusing for you， you
likely won't be able to remember what you read”可知，该段主题与处理一些令人困惑
的信息有关，故A 选项与此处匹配。
33．F 根据空前的“With some books，you may feel a connection right away”可知，读有些
书时，你可以很快建立联系；空后一句提到“你有多大意愿让这些联系发生”，故F
项“但是（阅读）其他书对你的要求更多一些”与前后句衔接紧密，故选F 项。
34．G 本空是段落结尾句。由本段内容可知，大声读出来所阅读的材料并加以演绎也是一个
技巧。本段又以狄更斯写作时演绎自己作品中的角色为例来说明我们也可以这样做，
所以选G 项。
35．B 根据空前的“If you read frequently，you’ll likely have an easier time with remembering”
和空后的“As you make reading a regular part of your life”可知，有规律的阅读可以让
记忆变得更加轻松，即“熟能生巧”，所以选B 项。
第三部分语言运用
第一节完形填空
36．A 根据前两段的内容，特别是第二段中的“Harvold 46 to bring the bus to a stop”可
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
知，巴士司机突发心脏病，Harvold 老师控制了巴士。 take control of 是固定词组，
表示“控制，掌管”，故选control。take care of“照顾，照料”；take advantage of“利
用”；take note of“注意到，将……铭记在心”。
37．B 24 岁的Harvold 老师当天的任务是从Gatwick 机场接(picked up)学生和课程负责人并
带他们去Bournemouth 与他们的寄宿家庭见面；take in“收留，欺骗”；track down“（经
过长时间艰难搜索后）找到”；help out“帮助……做事，帮助某人摆脱（困境）”。
38．D 参见上题解析。此处meet 表示“与……见面”，符合语境。greet“问候，迎接，招呼”。
39．C 这些学生要去ABC 语言学校参加课程学习，此处take 表示“参加（课程）学习”。
present“出示，上演，授予”。
40．D 根据第一段中的“A young English teacher saved the lives of 30 students”及第二段中
的“the young teacher's quick thinking”可知，Harvold 是ABC 语言学校的老师，故选
teacher。
41．C 根据最后一段中的“offered him six 55 driving lessons”可知，Harvold 老师还没有
通过驾照考试。pass 表示“通过（考试）”，符合语境。mark“标记”；conduct“实施，
执行，引导”。
42．A 根据语境可知，当时Harvold 老师和学生都在车上，结合选项可推测此处应是指他在
与学生讲话。speak to sb．表示“与某人讲话”符合语境。
43．B 巴士撞上了路边的树，这时他注意到(noticed)巴士的司机倒伏在了方向盘上。learn“（从
其他人那里）得知，听到”；mention“提到”均不符合语境。所以选noticed。
44．C 根据下文中的“He was unconscious”可推知，司机动不了了，故选move。
45．D 根据上文中的“the bus was out of control”及“The bus ran into trees”可知，巴士失去
了控制，撞到了灯柱。hit 表示“碰撞，撞击”。run over“撞倒，轧过”；go by“（时
间）流逝，遵照”；carry“运送”。
46．D 根据下文可知，Harvold 老师最终成功地让巴士停了下来。manage to do sth．表示“设
法做成某事”。
47．C 根据上文并结合第二段最后一句可知，Harvold 老师让失控的巴士停了下来，所以警
察对Harvold 老师敏捷的反应表示赞扬，所以选praised。witness“目睹”；record“记
录”。
48．B 根据下文中的“could have been a terrible 49 ”可知，如果当时Harvold 老师没有
快速地作出反应，就很有可能会造成一次非常严重的交通事故。故此处应选reacted，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
表示“作出反应”。appear“出现”；escape“逃避”；interrupt“打断，中断”。
49．B 参见上题解析。accident 表示“交通事故”。delay“延迟”；experience“经历”。
50．C 根据下文中的“was very well regarded by the teachers and students”可知，该巴土司机
经常与学校合作，并备受师生的尊敬，所以选school。
51．A 根据下文中的“no one else was hurt”可知，Harvold 很高兴看到老师和孩子们都没有
受伤，故选happy。fortunate“幸运的”。
52．A 根据上文中的“The bus driver never regained consciousness and died at East Surrey
Hospital”可知，巴士司机去世了，而Harvold 老师希望他能够活下来，故此处应选
survive。retire“退休”。
53．B 根据下文可知，为了表彰Harvold 老师的勇敢行为，学校决定送他去都柏林进行一次
周末旅行(trip)。project“项目”；duty“责任”。
54．A 参见上题解析。此处bravery 表示“勇敢的行为”。
55．D 根据上文中的“thanking him for his 54 ”和“also”可知，为了表彰Harvold 老师
的勇敢行为，所以当地的驾校也提供给Harvold 老师六节免费的(free)驾驶课程作为奖
励。
第二节
56．an 考查冠词。此处表示积累词汇是一个持续的过程，又因为单词ongoing 的发音以元
音音素开头，故填不定冠词an。
57．which 考查非限制性定语从句。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，此处是非限制性定语从
句，先行词为空前的整句话，且空处在从句中作主语，故填which。
58．months 考查名词复数。根据空前的a few 及month 为可数名词可知，此表示“几个月的
锻炼”，故用month 的复数形式。
59．for 考查介词。青少年时代几个月的锻炼对你的余生来说是不够的。故此处应用介词for，
表示“对……来说”。
60．effective 考查形容词。根据空后的ways 可知，此处需要用形容词，意为“有效的方法
之一”，故填effective。
61．really 考查副词。你在一周内至少需要真正地读一本好书，最好是一部名著。此处应用
副词really 修饰动词read。
62．sounds 考查主谓一致。这并不像听起来那样难。分析句子结构可知，本句中第二个as
引导从句，从句中it 是主语，且根据上文的isn't 和全文时态可知，此处应用一般现
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
在时，故填sounds。
63．reading 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，在while 引导的时间状语从句中，动词
read 的逻辑主语是you，与其构成主谓关系，故填现在分词reading。
64． their 考查代词。分析句子结构可知，空后的use 是名词，故需要用形容词性物主代词
修饰，故填their。
65． learned/learnt 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，learn 与the words 之间构成逻辑上
的动宾关系，故此处应用过去分词作后置定语。

第二节读后续写
【写作思路】本文主要讲了一个健忘但富有爱心且友好的妈妈的故事。文章第一段总述
了作者的妈妈是一个健忘但富有爱心、友好的人，她的这些性格特点在作者一家的一次出游
中表现得淋漓尽致。第二段叙述作者一家准备开车去看望祖父母并欣赏沿路风景，作者和自
己的兄弟David 向伙伴们告别，但一家人在出发两小时后又返回来拿东西，这是妈妈健忘的
表现之一。第三段叙述了妈妈健忘的表现之二：当爸爸睡着，由妈妈驾车的时候，作者和
David 怕妈妈把他们落下，因此去加油站的卫生间时必须要留一个人放哨才行。第四段叙述
了在作者一家出行几天后的某个晚上，由于找不到有空房间的酒店，妈妈提出找一个陌生人
的后院搭建帐篷暂住一晚的提议，但被作者他们否定了。这体现了妈妈友善、可爱的性格特
点。给出的两段开头分别是：(1)第二天我们想起了我们携带的崭新的帐篷；(2)我们开车驶
过了几个州，沿路上欣赏了无数美景。
本篇续写信息点众多，给考生提供了广阔的发挥空间，考生可从多个角度展开。比如续
写第一段提出作者他们记起了帐篷，下文就可以围绕帐篷展开话题。当然也可以按照妈妈健
忘以及友好的性格特点，预测可能会发生的一些有趣的事。在出游中他们也可能还会产生一
些问题，下文就可以叙述如何解决这些问题。因为续写第二段首句表明他们顺利经过了几个
州，而且沿途欣赏到美丽的景色，那么下文就可以叙述在欣赏美丽的景色过程中，在他们家
人之间发生的美好而有趣的事。这里就需要考生发挥足够的想象力。文章第一句“I had an
interesting childhood”和最后一段相呼应，故无论如何发挥，文章最终体现的主题应该是亲
情和爱。
考生要结合文章的关键词语（absent-minded，forgetful，trip，David，Mom，Dad 等）
进行合理写作。写作时，要注意字迹清晰端正，句式运用要丰富并合理使用连接成分。考生
可以从中储备一些相关词汇，如搭建帐篷pitch a tent/pitch camp；转折点turning point；更糟
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
糕的是what's worse；偶然遇见run into；逐渐消失fade away；陪伴accompany；目的地
destination 等。
【范文赏读】
Paragraph1：
The next day we remembered the bran，d-new tent we brought with us．We were happy to see
it still packed，and hoped it would be packed forever．However，things came to its turning
point．Mom lost Dad in the gas station when we were sleeping．What's worse，as the dark
approached，we met the same trouble again．Fearful as Mom was，she decided to camp near the
road waiting for Dad．The wind cried widely like a monster．Tears took control of us．Mom
embraced us tightly singing a smooth song， which really relaxed us． We didn't met Dad in the
last few days， but we felt comfortable staying with Mom．
Paragraph 2：
We drove through several states and saw lots of sights along the way．The tent became a
closer friend then．Every time we camped，Mom would read a book or sing a soft song．The
warmth of her arms never faded away in my memory．Though she was forgetful，laughter
accompanied us along the way．We finally met poor Dad in our destination．This trip made me
realize that love may have many ways，but it can always warm people in the dark．

gather together in open markets，cafes，parks，and squares．Then，of course，there's the food．Food
seems to be more important here．It's beautifully shown in windows and markets．Everything is
fresher and better tasting than at home．I've gained five pounds since I arrived．There are a few
things that bother me though．I'm still having a hard time with the language．People speak very
fast and it's hard to get them to repeat things．People，in general， are less warm here and it's hard
to make friends．I guess that can be true in any big city in a new country，but the French do seem
to be less friendly than the people back home．

homeless and hungry． Hannah was very 37 ．She couldn't understand why some people
had to live their lives without shelter or enough food． Hannah started to think about how she
could 38 ，but，of course， there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve(解决)the
problem of homelessness．
Later ，when Hannah attended school， she saw another homeless person． It was a
woman， 39 an old shopping trolley（购物车）which was piled with 40 ． It seemed
that everything the woman owned was in them． This made Hannah very sad， and even more

Canada`s 48 and homeless．

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40 分）
第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，共 30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
It was a cold March day in High Point，North Carolina．The girls on the Wesleyan Academy
softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice，stamping their feet to stay warm，
Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered(发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White
play．The two didn’t know each other well — Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before．
Suddenly，Paris fell to the ground，“Paris’s eye rolled back，”Taylor says．“She started
shaking．I knew it was an emergency．”
It certainly was，Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure． Without immediate medical care，
Paris would die．At first no one moved．The girls were in shock．Then the softball coach shouted
out，“Does anyone know CPR?”
CPR is a life-saving technique．To do CPR，you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood
moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs．Without oxygen the brain is damaging
quickly．
Amazingly，Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before．Still，she hesitated．She didn’t
think she knew it well enough．But when no one else came forward，Taylor ran to Paris and began
doing CPR，“It was scary．I knew it was the difference between life and death，” says Taylor．
Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down． One girl called 911． Two more ran
to get the school nurse， who brought a defibrillator， an electronic devices(器械) that can shock
the heart back into work． Luck stayed with them： Paris’ heartbeat returned．
“I know I was really lucky，” Paris says now．“Most people don’t survive this． My team
saved my life．”
Experts say Paris is right： For a sudden heart failure， the single best chance for survival is
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly．
Today，Paris is back on the softball team．Taylor will apply to college soon．She wants to be
a nurse．“I feel more confident in my actions now，” Taylor says．“I know I can act under pressure
in a scary situation．”

Measles(麻疹)，which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more， was
nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine(疫
苗)． But the disease is making a comeback， caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and
misinformation that is spreading quickly． Already this year， 115 measles cases have been
reported in the USA， compared with 189 for all of last year．
The numbers might sound small， but they are the leading edge of a dangerous
trend． When vaccination rates are very high， as they still are in the nation as a whole，
everyone is protected． This is called “herd immunity”， which protects the people who get hurt
easily， including those who can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons， babies too young to get
vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work．
But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in． When some refuse
vaccination and seek a free ride， immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger．
That’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange
County， California， where 22 measles cases were reported this month， to Brooklyn， N．Y．，
where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year．
The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades， and it is driven by a real but very
small risk．Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer．
Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what
are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten． Seventeen states
allow parents to get an exemption（豁免)， sometimes just by signing a paper saying they
personally object to a vaccine．
Now，several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out．But
no one does enough to limit exemptions．
Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons． But
personal opinions? Not good enough． Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide，
but they’ll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks．
63．The first two paragraphs suggest that ____________．
A．a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trend
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention
C．anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasons
D．information about measles spreads quickly
64．Herd immunity works well when ____________．
A．exemptions are allowed
B．several vaccines are used together
C．the whole neighborhood is involved in
D．new regulations are added to the state laws
65．What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?
A．The overuse of vaccine．
B．The lack of medical care．
C．The features of measles itself．
D．The vaccine opt-outs of some people．
66．What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce the idea of exemption．
B．To discuss methods to cure measles．
C．To stress the importance of vaccination．
D．To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment．
D
Hollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is
just silly．The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become
extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want．In 1960 a well-known
mathematician Norbert Wiener， who founded the field of cybernetics（控制论）， put it this way：
“If we use，to achieve our purposes，a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot
effectively interfere(干预)，we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is
the purpose which we really desire．”
A machine with a specific purpose has another quality， one that we usually associate with
living things： a wish to preserve its own existence． For the machine， this quality is not in-born，
nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the
machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead． So if we send out a robot with the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
single instruction of fetching coffee， it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its
own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task． If we are not careful，
then， we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined， super intelligent
machines whose objectives conflict with our own， with the real world as the chessboard．
The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of
computer scientists．Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of
firewall， using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real
world． Unfortunately， that plan seems unlikely to work： we have yet to invent a firewall that
is secure against ordinary humans， let alone super intelligent machines．
Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not
easy．There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent
machines．But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand，as it has been by some AI
researchers．Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—
yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans．Others say we can just
“switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility．Still
others think that super intelligent AI will never happen．On September 11，1933，famous physicist
Ernest Rutherford stated， with confidence， “Anyone who expects a source of power in the
transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine．” However， on September 12，1933，
physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction．
67．Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may ．
A．run out of human control
B．satisfy human’s real desires
C．command armies of killer robots
D．work faster than a mathematician
68．Machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might
be able to ．
A．prevent themselves from being destroyed
B．achieve their original goals independently
C．do anything successfully with given orders
D．beat humans in international chess matches
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
69．According to some researchers，we can use firewalls to ．
A．help super intelligent machines work better
B．be secure against evil human beings
C．keep machines from being harmed
D．avoid robots’ affecting the world
70．What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines?
A．It will disappear with the development of AI．
B．It will get worse with human interference．
C．It will be solved but with difficulty．
D．It will stay for a decade．

多余选项。
Every animal sleeps，but the reason for this has remained foggy．When lab rats are not
allowed to sleep，they die within a month． 71
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories． 72 We know that，while
awake，fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells，but
the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear．
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神
经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight， making room for fresh memories to form the
next day． 73
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right． 74 The synapses in the
mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep，
showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping．
If Tononi’s theory is right，it would explain why，when we miss a night`s，we find it harder
the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for
new experiences．
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the
synapses become thinner． The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and
stayed the same size． 75 “You keep what matters，” Tononi says．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．We should also try to sleep well the night before．
B．It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories．
C．Similarly， when people go for a few days without sleeping， they get sick．
D．The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories．
E．That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning．
F．“Sleep is the price we pay for learning，” says Giulio Tononi，who developed the idea．
G．Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections，or synapses，in the brains of 12 mice．

electronic device（器械） that can shock the heart. back into work.

that can shock the heart back into work 为定语从句。

工作的电子器械。
56．B【解析】根据第三段中的“It certainly was. Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure”可
知，Paris 突发心力衰竭。A 项“无中生有”，不能因为文中出现天气寒冷等方面的信息
就说Paris 患了感冒；C 项“鱼目混珠”，第二段中的“Suddenly，Paris fell to the ground”
不能表明Paris 倒地的原因是被球击中；选项D“张冠李戴”，根据文中的“Taylor Bisbee
shivered（发抖）a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play”可知，Taylor Bisbee
在看她的队友Paris White 打球时冷得发抖。
57．C【解析】根据第五段中的“But when no one else came forward，Taylor ran to Paris and began
doing CPR”以及第六段在队友和学校护士的帮助下Paris 的心跳恢复了(Paris's heartbeat
returned)以及倒数第二段中的“For a sudden heart failure，the single best chance for
survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly”可知，Paris 得到了及时的心
肺复苏(CPR)救助。A 项“似是而非、答非所问”，文章的话题不是交朋友；B 项“偷梁
换柱”，Paris 是突发心力衰竭，而绝非“shock（休克）”；文中最后一段提到了Paris 回
到球队里，但这不是Paris 说她很幸运的原因。
58．B【解析】根据第五段中的“But when no one else came forward，Taylor ran to Paris and began
doing CPR．‘It was scary．I knew it was the difference between life and death，’says Taylor”
和第六段中的 “Taylor's swift action helped her teammates calm down”可知，Taylor 是
一位勇敢、冷静的女孩。面对紧急情况，她不慌不乱，用所学的急救知识迅速帮助他人，

级概念，甚至是哲学，而且他们将很快发现TOKNOW 杂志不仅仅是一本杂志，而更像是一
个俱乐部。

fans ever month”可知，TOKNOW 杂志的特殊之处在于它将趣味性与有挑战性的、复杂
的概念结合起来。故选D。A 项“张冠李戴”，TOKNOW 杂志的目标读者是孩子，而不
是年轻的父母；B 项“颠倒是非”，文中的“Well，it has no ads or promotions inside”表
明TOKNOW 杂志不刊登广告；文中并未提及C 项。
60．B【解析】根据What's inside? 部分中的“Every month the magazine introduces afresh new
topic with articles， experiments and creative things to make”可知，TOKNOW 杂志刊载
关于新话题的文章。

势。
64．C【解析】根据第三段中的“But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
in”可知，只有在大家都参加疫苗接种的情况下群体免疫力才有作用。A 选项“颠倒是
非”，由第六段的“Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定
不参加)…”可知A 项错误；B 项文章未提及；根据第七段“Now，several...But no one
does enough to limit exemptions”可知D 项错误。
65．D【解析】根据全文内容，尤其是第一段和第六段中的“Making things worse are state laws
that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines
for all children entering kindergarten”可知，麻疹死灰复燃的主要原因是一些人不参加疫
苗接种。

【难句分析】If we use，to achieve our purposes，a mechanical agency with whose operation
we cannot effectively interfere（干预），we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the
machine is the purpose which we really desire.

定式作目的状语，从句中with whose 引导定语从句，修饰先行词agency；主句中that 引导
宾语从句，作sure 的宾语，which 引导定语从句，修饰先行词purpose，put into the machine
为过去分词短语作定语。
译文：为了达到我们的目的，如果我们使用不能有效地干预其运用的机械代理，我们最
好要很确定让机器做事的目的是我们真正希望（达到）的目的。
67．A【解析】根据第一段中的“The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial
intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we
really want”可知，人工智能可能会变得非常擅长完成目标，而这些目标可能不是人们
真正想要的，所以人工智能有可能摆脱人的控制。由文中的“artificial intelligence(AI)may
become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want”可知B 项
表述错误；由文中的“Hollywood's theory that machines with evil（邪恶的）minds will drive
armies of killer robots is just silly”可知，C 项表示错误；D 项在原文没有被提及。
68．A【解析】根据第二段中的“A machine with a specific purpose has another quality， one

第二节
【难句分析】Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections
between neurons（神经元）in the brain can be weakened overnight，making room for fresh
memories to form the next day．
分析：这是一个主从复合句，其中第一个that 引导同位语从句解释说明theory 的内容；
从句中so that 引导结果状语从句；making room for fresh memories to form the next day 为现
在分词短语作结果状语。
译文：越来越多的证据表明睡眠在逐渐演变，在晚上大脑中各神经元之间的联系会减弱，
为第二天要形成的新记忆腾出空间。
71．C 考查前后句的连贯。所有的动物都睡觉，但其原因仍然是谜。当实验室的老鼠不被
允许睡觉时，它们一个月内就死了。同样，人类如果连续几天不睡觉，就会生病。所以
C 项正确。
72．E 考查前后句的连贯。第二段首句指出一个观点，即睡眠帮助人们巩固新的记忆。而E
项则支持该观点，其中That 指代的就是睡眠帮助巩固新的记忆这一观点。所以E 项正
确。
73．F 考查前后句的连贯。空前讲，睡眠会为第二天的新记忆腾出空间，且由第四段第一句
中的人称代词he 可知，F 项正确。
74．G 考查前后句的连贯。空前讲，有最直接的证据证明Tononi 的观点是对的，而空后的
内容介绍了实验结果，故可推知空处应是介绍了Tononi 做的相关实验，故G 项正确。
75．B 考查前后句的连贯。根据空前的关键词protected， stayed 以及空后的keep， matters
可知，B 项正确。

CHRONOLOGICA
——The Unbelievable Years that Defined History
DID YOU KNOW…
In 105 AD paper was invented in China?
When Columbus discovered the New World?
The British Museum opened in 1759?
CHRONOLOGICA is a fascinating journey
through time， from the foundation of Rome
to the creation of the internet． Along the
way are tales of kings and queens，hot air
balloons…and monkeys in space．
Travel through 100 of the most unbelievable
years in world history and learn why being a
Roman Emperor wasn’t always as good as it sounds， how the
Hundred Years’ War didn’t actually last for 100 years and why Spencer Perceval holds a rather
unfortunate record．
CHRONOLOGICA is an informative and entertaining tour into history， beautifully illustrated
and full of unbelievable facts．While CHRONOLOGICA tells the stories of famous people in
history such as Thomas Edison and Alexander the Great， this book
also gives an account of the lives of lesser-known individuals
including the explorer Mungo Park and
sculptor Gutzon Borglum．
This complete but brief historical
collection is certain to entertain readers
young and old， and guaranteed to
present even the biggest history lover
with something new!
56．What is CHRONOLOGICA according to the next?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．A biography．
B．A travel guide．
C．A history book．
D．A science fiction．
57．How does the writer recommend CHRONOLOGICA to readers?
A．By giving details of its collection．
B．By introducing some of its contents．
C．By telling stories at the beginning．
D．By comparing it with other books．
B
Before birth，babies can tell the difference
between loud sounds and voices．They can even
distinguish their mother’s voice from that of a female
stranger．But when it comes to embryonic learning
(胎 教)，birds could rule the roost．As recently
reported in The Auk: Ornithological Advances，some
mother birds may teach their young to sing even
before they hatch (孵化)．New-born chicks can then imitate their mom’s call within a few days of
entering the world．
This educational method was first observed in 2012 by Sonia Kleindorfer，a biologist at
Flinders University in South Australia， and her colleagues．Female Australian superb fairy wrens
were found to repeat one sound over and over again while hatching their eggs．When the eggs
were hatched，the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers—a sound that served as
their regular “feed me!” call．
To find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds，the researchers sought the
red-backed fairy wren，another species of Australian songbird．First they collected sound data
from 67 nests in four sites in Queensland before and after hatching．Then they identified begging
calls by analyzing the order and number of notes．A computer analysis blindly compared calls
produced by mothers and chicks， ranking them by similarity．
It turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms．And the
more frequently mothers had called to their eggs，the more similar were the babies’ begging
calls．In addition，the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
most closely imitated their mom’s voice were rewarded with the most food．
This observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological (神经系统
的) strengths of children to parents． An evolutionary inference can then be drawn． “As a parent，
do you invest in quality children，or do you invest in children that are in need?” Kleindorfer
asks．“Our results suggest that they might be going for quality．”
58．The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means“ ”．
A．be the worst B．be the best
C．be the as bad D．be just as good
59．What are Kleindorfer’s findings based on?
A．Similarities between the calls of moms and chicks．
B．The observation of fairy wrens across Australia．
C．The data collected from Queensland’s locals．
D．Controlled experiments on wrens and other birds．
60．Embryonic learning helps mother birds to identify the baby birds which ．
A．can receive quality signals B．are in need of training
C．fit the environment better D．make the loudest call
C
A new commodity brings about a highly profitable，fast-growing industry，urging antitrust
（反垄断）regulators to step in to check those who control its flow． A century ago， the
resource in question was oil． Now similar concerns ares being raised by the giants（巨头）that
deal in data， the oil of the digital age． The most valuable firms are Google， Amazon，
Facebook and Microsoft． All look unstoppable．
Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up． But size alone is not a
crime． The giants’ success has benefited consumers． Few want to live without search engines
or a quick delivery． Far from charging consumers high prices， many of these services are free
(users pay， in effect， by handing over yet more data)． And the appearance of new-born giants
suggests that newcomers can make waves，too．
But there is cause for concern．The internet has made data abundant，all-present and far
more valuable，changing the nature of data and competition．Google initially used the data
collected from users to target advertising better． But recently it has discovered that data can be
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
turned into new services: translation and visual recognition ，to be sold to other
companies．Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power．So they have a
“God’s eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond．
This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful．Breaking up firms
like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time，one of them would
become great again．A rethink is required — and as a new approach starts to become apparent，
two ideas stand out．
The first is that antitrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the 21st
century． When considering a merger(兼并)， for example， they have traditionally used size to
determine when to step in． They now need to take into account the extent of firms’ data
assets(资产) when assessing the impact of deals． The purchase price could also be a signal that
an established company is buying a new-born threat． When this takes place， especially when a
new-born company has no revenue to speak of， the regulators should raise red flags．
The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have over
data and give more to those who supply them． Companies could be forced to consumers what
information they hold and how many money they make form it． Govemments could order the
sharing of certain kinds of data，with users’ consent．
Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy But if govemments don’t wants
a data oconomy by a few giants，they must act soon．
61．Why is there a call to break up giants?
A．They have controlled the data market
B．They collect enormous private data
C．They no longer provide free services
D．They dismissed some new-born giants
62．What does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate?
A．Data giants’ technology is very expensive
B．Google’s idea is popular among data firms
C．Data can strengthen giants’ controlling position
D．Data can be turned into new services or products
63．By paying attention to firms’ data assets， antitrust regulators could ．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．kill a new threat
B．avoid the size trap
C．favour bigger firms
D．charge higher prices
64．What is the purpose of loosening the giants’ control of data?
A．Big companies could relieve data security pressure．
B．Governments could relieve their financial pressure．
C．Consumers could better protect their privacy．
D．Small companies could get more opportunities．
D
Old Problem， New Approaches
While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life， global warning will continue for
some decades after CO2 emissions（排放）peak． So even if emissions were to begin to decrease
today， we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change． Here I will stress some
smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation．
When it comes to adaptation， it is important to understand that climate change is a
process． We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard， but to a constantly
shifting set of conditions． This is why， in part at least， the US National Climate Assessment
says that: “There is no ‘one-size fits all’ adaptation．” Nevertheless， there are some actions that
offer much and carry little risk or cost．
Around the world， people are adapting in surprising ways， especially in some poor
countries． Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades． Mohammed
Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster． His not-for-profit organization runs
100 river boats that serve as floating libraries， schools， and health clinics， and are equipped
with solar panels and other communicating facilities． Rezwan is creating floating connectivity
（连体） to replace flooded roads and highways． But he is also working at a far more
fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds prevent
starvation during the wet season．
Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken． Chewang Norphel lives in
a mountainous region in India，where he is known as the Ice Man．The loss of glaciers(冰川) there
due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture．Without the glaciers，water
will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops．Norphel’s inspiration came from
seeing the waste of water over winter，when it was not needed．He directed the wasted water
into shallow basins where it froze，and was stored until the spring．His fields of ice supply
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water．Having created nine such ice reserves，Norphel calculates
that he has stored about 200,000m3 of water．Climate change is a continuing process，so
Norphel’s ice reserves will not last forever．Warming will overtake them．But he is providing a few
years during which the farmers will，perhaps，be able to find other means of adapting．
Increasing Earth’s reflectiveness can cool the planet．In southern Spain the sudden increase
of greenhouses (which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally， and
actually cooled the region．While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly，temperatures near the
greenhouses have decreased． This example should act as an inspiration for all cities． By
painting buildings white，cities may slow down the warming process．
In Peru，local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to
climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added
reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice． The outcome is still far from clear． But the World
Bank has included the project on its of “100 ideas to save the planet”．
More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere．A friend of mine owns an
area of land in western Victoria．Over five generations the land has been too wet for
cropping．But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable
crops．Farmers in many countries are also adapting like this—either by growing new produce， or
by growing the same things differently．This is common sense．But some suggestions for adapting
are not．When the polluting industries argue that we’ve lost the battle to control carbon pollution
and have no choice but to adapt，it’s a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual．
Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and
astonishing ways．But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems
to emit less carbon pollution．After all，if we adapt in that way，we may avoid the need to change
in so many others．
65．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies ．
A．adaptation is an ever-changing process
B．the cost of adaptation varies with time
C．global warming affects adaptation forms
D．adaptation to climate change is challenging
66．What is special with regard to Rezwan’s project?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．The project receives government support．
B．Different organizations work with each other．
C．His organization makes the best of a bad situation．
D．The project connects flooded roads and highways．
67．What did the Ice Man do to reduce the effect of global warming?
A．Storing ice for future use．
B．Protecting the glaciers from melting．
C．Changing the irrigation time．
D．Postponing the melting of the glaciers．
68．What do we learn from the Peru example?
A．White paint is usually safe for buildings．
B．The global warming tread cannot be stopped．
C．This country is heating up too quickly．
D．Sunlight reflection may relieve global warming．
69．According to the author，polluting industries should ．
A．adapt to carbon pollution
B．plant highly profitable crops
C．leave carbon emission alone
D．fight against carbon pollution
70．What’s the author’s preferred solution to global warming?
A．Setting up a new standard．
B．Reducing carbon emission．
C．Adapting to climate change．
D．Monitoring polluting industries．

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个
．．最恰当的单词。
Population Change
Why is the world’s population growing? The answer is not what you might think．The reason
for the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits，but that people have
stopped dropping dead like flies．In 1900，people died at the average age of 30．By 2000 the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
average age was 65．But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century，
declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st．
Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4．9 in the
early 1960s to 2.5 nowadays． Furthermore， around 50% of the world’s population live in
regions where the figure is now below the replacement level (i.e.2.1 births per woman) and
almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate．You might think that
developing nations would make up the loss (especially since 80% of the world’s people now live
in such nations)，but you’d be wrong．Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing
regions too，which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades．
A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China，for instance．What does it
imply? First，China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population decline
hits the country．Second，if other factors such as technology remain constant，economic growth
and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could invite trouble．
Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic
promise． Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born
by a massive 50%．Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and
people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961．Why is this occurring? Nobody is quite
sure， but poor diet and above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it． If current
trends don’t bend，Russia’s population will be about the size of Yemen’s by the year 2050．
In the north of India，the population is booming due to high birth rates，but in the south，
where most economic development is taking place， birth rate is falling rapidly．In a further twist，
birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural areas and lowest in highly educated urban areas．In
total，25% of India’s working-age population has no education．In 2030，a sixth of the country’s
potential work force could be totally uneducated．
One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration．As for the USA， it is
almost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20%
from 2010—2030．Moreover，the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants．As
a result it’s likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strong
economic growth over the longer term．

些处于主导地位的公司。
61．A【解析】根据第二段的首句“Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken

暗示的是适应环境也是一个不断变化的过程。故A 正确。
66．C【解析】根据第三段首句可知，世界范围内尤其是一些贫穷地区的人们使用了令人意
想不到的方法去适应环境的改变，化劣势为优势，再结合下文的内容可知，Rezwan 就
是这么做的，故答案为C。
67．A【解析】由第四段中的“…He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze,
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
and was stored until the spring．．．”可知，他把水引入盆地，水在那里结冰并被存储到
春天使用，故A 正确。
68．D【解析】根据第六段的内容可知，在秘鲁当地的农民会把整个山峰涂成白色来增强对
阳光的反射，希望借此来保护冰不被融化，再结合第五段的内容可知，反射太阳光可能

to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt”可知，污染行业辩称因为人
们没有赢得治理碳污染的战役，只能适应，再结合下文的“it's a nonsense designed to
make the case for business as usual”可知，作者认为污染行业的这种说法是荒谬的，其
目的是给自己的商业行为制造借口。由此可推知，对于污染行业来说，负责任的做法是
同碳污染抗争，以减少碳排放，故D 正确。
70．B【解析】根据最后一段第二句“But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt
our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution¨可知，作者认为最明智的应对全球变暖
的方法是减少碳排放，故B 正确。
第四部分：任务型阅读
71．lower 根据第一段最后一句中的“declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st”
与第二段第一句“Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen
from 4.9 in the early 1960s to 2.5 nowadays”可知，21 世纪的出生率要比以前低很多，故
答案为lower。
72．size/scale 根据第二段的“almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement
birth rate”和“Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions
too, which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few
decades”可知，发达国家保持人口的现有规模也是困难重重。 size/scale 表示“尺寸，
大小，规模”，符合文意。
73．immediate 根据第二段最后一句中的“which might cause catastrophic global shortages of
work force within a few decades”可知，在发展中国家，出生率下降的影响是灾难性的，
但不会立即显现出来，而要等到几十年之后，故答案为immediate。
74．economic 根据第三、四和五段可以看出人口与经济的发展是密不可分的，人口出生率
的下降也必将给经济的发展带来压力。
75．old/older 根据第三段第一句中的“A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
China”可知，中国的青壮年劳动力可能会大幅度减少，即劳动力老龄化，故答案为
old/older。
76．earlier 根据第四段中的“people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961”可知，
俄罗斯人的寿命比1961 年短了许多，即很多人早逝，故答案为earlier。
77．living/life 根据第四段中对俄罗斯人的不良饮食习惯和酗酒的描述可以看出，他们的
生活方式需要改变。way of living/life“生活方式”。
78．equality 考查信息整合能力。根据第五段中对于印度人口出生率以及经济发展与教育的
关系的叙述可以得出这样的结论：印度若能实现公民受教育机会的平等化，它的经济会
有大的增长。 equality“平等”，符合文意。
79．immigration 考查信息提取。根据最后一段第一句“One solution is obviously to import
foreign workers via immigration”可知，通过移民这种方法美国在2010 年至2030 年中将
使人口增加20%。
80．compensate 考查信息整合能力。根据最后一段的最后一句“As a result it's likely to see a
rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strong economic growth over
the longer term”可知，移民可能会带来劳动力人口的增加和经济的迅速增长，从而弥
补青壮年劳动力的缺乏。compensate“补偿，弥补”，符合文意。
第五部分：书面表达
Possible version one:
The box-office income of Chinese movies witnessed a constant increase from about 17
billion yuan in 2012 to over 40 billion in 2015．However, that increase slowed down in 2016．
The reasons behind this are various．The fast economic development before 2016 was
probably the most powerful engine driving the constant growth in the box-office income．The
application of new technologies and the wide appeal of movie stars could also account for the
increase．However, China saw a decline in its economic growth rate last year．And the internet
increased options for movie lovers．Consequently, some viewers began to turn away from
cinemas, leading to a slower growth．
China's economy is expected to grow at a medium speed in the coming years，so an increase
is possible in the investment in the movie industry and the number of quality
movies． Therefore, its box-office income will probably enjoy a slight increase．
Possible version two：
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
As is indicated in the graph, the box-office income of Chinese films increased constantly
from 2012 t0 2015, but its growth, for one reason or another，slowed down in 2016．
The increase in the box-office income can be attributed to a number of factors．The quality
of life has improved and watching films is regarded as a good means of entertainment．Besides,
filming technology has advanced and more quality films are on offer．Moreover，the internet
plays an important part．On the internet, people can seek information about their favorite stars
and buy tickets at a discount as well, which is both time-saving and economical．
However, the film market may witness a slowdown in the near future．Cinemas have
gradually given way to the rise of the internet and cellphones，and the ticket price is on the
increase．Therefore, the film industry should make greater effort．s to attract more viewers．

第二部分：阅读理解（共20 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分50 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Suppose you’re in a rush， felling tired，not paying attention to your screen，and you send
an email that could get you in trouble．
Realisation will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “send”．You freeze in horrors
and burn with shame．
What to do? Here are four common email accidents， and how to recover．
Clicking “send” too soon
Don’t waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet．Write another email
as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the
previous version should be ignored．
Writing the wrong time
The sooner you notice，the better．Respond quickly and briefly，apologizing for your
mistake．Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly，as people can be offered，
especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(i．e．incorrect ordering of
Chinese names)．
Clicking “reply all” unintentionally
You accidentally reveal(透露)to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the
staff Christmas dinner， or what holiday you’d like to take． In this instance， the best solution
is to send a quick， light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness． But it can quickly rise to
something worse， when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant
conversation． In this instance， step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down．
Sending an offensive message to its subject
The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger．You write an unkind
message about someone， intending to send it to a friend， but accidentally send it to the person
you’re discussing． In that case，ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry． Explain
your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
may have with this person．
36．After realising an email accident，you are likely to feel _______．
A． curious B． tired C． awful D． funny
37．If you have written the wrong name in an email，it is best to ________．
A．apologise in a serious manner
B．tell the receiver to ignore the error
C．learn to write the name correctly
D．send a short notice to everyone
38．What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all” email?
A．Try offering other choices．
B．Avoid further involvement．
C．Meet other staff members．
D．Make a light-hearted apology．
39．How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensive email?
A．By promising not to offend the receiver again．
B．By seeking support from the receiver’s friends．
C．By asking the receiver to control his anger．
D．By talking to the receiver face to face．
40．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Defining email errors．
B．Reducing email mistakes．
C．Handling email accidents．
D．Improving email writing．

Fifteen years ago，I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy．After climbing up a
hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea，white buildings and green olive trees，I paused
to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama．
Unfortunately，just as I took out my camera，a woman approached from behind，and planted
herself right in front of my view．Like me，this woman was here to stop，sigh and appreciate the
view．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Patient as I was， after about 15 minutes， my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the
shot I would eventually take， I grew frustrated． Was it too much to ask her to move so I could
take just one picture of the landscape? Sure， I could have asked her， but something prevented
me from doing so．She seemed so content in her observation．I didn’t want to mess with that．
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored．The woman was still there．I decided to take
the photo anyway．And now when I look at it， I think her presence in the photo is what makes
the image interesting．The landscape，beautiful on its own， somehow comes to life and breathes
because this woman is engaging with it．
This photo，with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined”
it， now hangs on a wall in my bedroom．What would she think if she knew that her figure is
captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom，after all，is a very
private space，in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存)． In
some ways，she lives in my house．
Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces．Perhaps this is what photos are for：to remind us
that we all appreciate beauty，that we all share a common desire for pleasure，for connection，
for something that is greater than us．
That photo is a reminder，a captured moment，an unspoken conversation between two
women，separated only by a thin square of glass．
41．What happened when the author was about to take a photo?
A．Her camera stopped working．
B．A woman blocked her view．
C．Someone asked her to leave．
D．A friend approached from behind．
42．According to the author，the woman was probably_______．
A．enjoying herself
B．losing her patience
C．waiting for the sunset
D．thinking about her past
43．In the author’s opinion，what makes the photo so alive?
A．The rich color of the landscape．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．The perfect positioning of the camera．
C．The woman’s existence in the photo．
D．The soft sunlight that summer day．
44．The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ________．
A．the need to be close to nature
B．the importance of private space
C．the joy of the vacation in Italy
D．the shared passion for beauty
45．The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _______．
A．a particular life experience
B．the pleasure of traveling
C．the art of photography
D．a lost friendship
C
This month，Germany’s transport minister，Alexander Dobrindt，proposed the first set of
rules for autonomous vehicles(自主驾驶车辆)．They would define the driver’s role in such cars
and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost．
The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous
vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the
driverless future．
Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses property(财产) damage over
personal injury; that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race; and that if a
human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel — to check email， say — the car’s
maker is responsible if there is a crash．
“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving，” says Dobrindt． It
will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers， he says．
Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers，
consumers and lawyers．“The liability(法律责任) issue is the biggest one of them all，” says
Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds，UK．
An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars，introduced earlier this year， insists
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
that a human “ be watchful and monitoring the road” at every moment．
But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars． “When
you say ‘driverless cars’， people expect driverless cars．”Merat says． “You know — no driver．”
Because of the confusion， Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully
automated without operation．
Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own，
says Ryan Calo at Stanford University，California．That is happening in the UK and Singapore，
where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched．
That would go down poorly in the US， however． “The idea that the government would
take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here，”
says Calo．
46．What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A place where cars often break down．
B．A case where passing a law is impossible．
C．An area where no driving is permitted．
D．A situation where drivers’ role is not clear．
47．The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to __________．
A．stop people from breaking traffic rules
B．help promote fully automatic driving
C．protect drivers of all ages and races
D．prevent serious property damage
48．What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars?
A．It should get the attention of insurance companies．
B．It should be the main concern of law makers．
C．It should not cause deadly traffic accidents．
D．It should involve no human responsibility．
49．Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in __________．
A．Singapore B．the UK C．the US D．Germany
50．What could be the best title for passage?
A．Autonomous Driving: Whose Liability?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．Fully Automatic Cars: A New Breakthrough
C．Autonomous Vehicles: Driver Removed!
D．Driverless Cars: Root of Road Accidents
D
I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting． But where are we doing all
of this waiting， and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue，
let’s take a look at three types of “waits”．
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait．It is without doubt the most
annoying of all．Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example．There is absolutely
nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full．During
these waits，the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the
edge of the counter and onto your socks． This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and
mindless．
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait． This one requires a bit of
discipline． Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait． Directions are
very specific． “Bring three cups of water to boil， add mix， simmer three minutes， remove
from heat， let stand five minutes．”I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the
procedures strictly． After all， Forced Waiting requires patience．
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait．This type of wait is
unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary．Unlike the Forced Wait，which is also voluntary，
waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen．
Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope，and is strictly for the optimists
among us．On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes，but
the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it．As long as one doesn’t come to
rely on it，wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody．
We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting．The next time you’re standing at the
sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash
falls out of the sky，don’t be desperate．You’re probably just as busy as the next guy．
51．While doing a Watched-Pot Wait，we tend to ___________．
A．keep ourselves busy B．get absent-minded
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．grow anxious D．stay focused
52．What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?\
A．The Forced Wait requires some self-control．
B．The Forced Wait makes people passive．
C．The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions．
D．The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain．
53．What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?
A．It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait．
B．It doesn’t always bring the desired result．
C．It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait．
D．It doesn’t give people faith and hope．
54．What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?
A．Take it seriously． B．Don’t rely on others．
C．Do something else． D．Don’t lose heart．
55．The author supports his view by _________．
A．exploring various causes of “waits”．
B．describing detailed processes of “waits”．
C．analyzing different categories of “waits”
D．revealing frustrating consequences of “waits”

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
In the years of my growing up，Dad was strict with me．He made sure I made my bed and did
my homework．He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party．I got so
angry with him for laying down the law．I would scream，“ I hate you!” Dad would yell back，
“Good! I don’t care!” Deep down I knew he did．
One time at a party， I drank too much alcohol and got so sick．I said，“ Call my dad．” Next
thing，Dad was carrying me to the car．I woke up the next morning， thinking I would definitely
be criticised．As expected，I got a roasting， but I now understand why I need discipline．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films．I had an early start at the age of nine with a
role in a 1990s TV series，but it wasn’t until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an
actress． Like those early days for Dad， I faced lots of rejections． Working in such a competitive
industry，I’ve sometimes thought，“ I can’t do this any more．”
Once，after a trip to Hollywood， I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in
my bedroom painting， listening to Eckhart Tolle’s music and trying to find myself again．Dad sat
me down and said，“Alice，I know it’s hard，but it’s all about persistence(坚持不懈)．”
Now I get to work with Dad a lot，which I love．We both passionate about acting，which
comes from us being so interested in people．If it weren’t for Dad，I wouldn’t be where I am
today．He’s my biggest fan，and when you have that in your life you can go a long way．
56．What rules did Alice’s father set for her when she was growing up?(no more than 15 words)

第一节：单项填空
1．A【解析】——下周六是Albert 的生日，我在为他策划一个惊喜聚会。——听起来很有
意思。我会带点葡萄酒来。Sounds like fun“听起来很有意思”；It depends“那得看情况”；
Just a minute“等一下”；You are welcome“别客气”。根据对话情景可知应选A。
2．C【解析】句意：我的房间里乱糟糟的，不过我今天晚上出门之前没必要打扫，我可以上
午再打扫。根据空后的“I can do it in the morning”及句意可知，空处表示“没有必要”，
因此选C。
3．D【解析】——我想见White 先生。我们有预约。——对不起，但他这个时候没空，因
为会议还没结束。根据答句中的“the meeting hasn't ended”可知White 先生没空，故
选D。available 在这里表示“有空的”。
4．C【解析】句意：她问我我是否把书还给图书馆了，我承认我还没有还。分析句子结构可
知，空处引导宾语从句，且在从句中不作任何成分，只起连接作用，又根据句意可知此
处表示“是否”，故用whether 或if 引导这个宾语从句。
5．A【解析】句意：Brown 夫妇希望看到女儿安定下来，结婚生子。空处应与后面的“get married，
and have kids”语意衔接，故用settle down 表示“安顿下来”。keep off“使避开”；get up
“起床”；cut in“插嘴，插队”。
6．B【解析】句意：如今，与慢跑和游泳一样，骑自行车被看作一种最好的全能运动形式。
本句谓语与主语之间是被动关系，表示“被看作”，应该用被动语态；句子主语部分是
A along with B 结构，因此谓语应在人称和数上与A 保持一致，即用单数形式。
7．D【解析】Michael 今天上午上Smith 先生的化学课迟到了。——怎么会？就我所知，他
上课从来不迟到的。So what“那又怎么样”；Why not“为什么不呢”；Who cares“管它
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
呢”；How come“怎么会”。根据对话的语境可知应选D。
8．A【解析】句意：我正开车去伦敦，这时突然发现自己走错了路。这里使用了固定句式
be doing sth．When…，表示“正在做某事时突然……”，此时主句用过去进行时，when
后面的句子用一般过去时，因此选A。
9．B【解析】句意：我的大儿子的工作需要他奔波于世界各地，他现在在纽约。从句意和句
子结构的衔接看，本空需要关系词引导非限制性定语从句修饰主句的主语My eldest son，
并在从句中作定语，因此这里选whose 引导定语从句。
10．C【解析】句意：开会期间我一直在看钟表，因为我要赶火车。本空所在部分用了have
sth. to do 结构表示“有某事要做”，因此这里用不定式作定语修饰a train。
11．D【解析】句意：正是当我回到公寓的时候，我第一次遇到我的新邻居。根据句意和句
子结构判断，本句使用了强调句式It is/was．that...，被强调的是句中的时间状语从句，
因此选D。
12．A【解析】句意：当你开车穿行于加利福尼亚州的红木森林时，你就会被有一千多年树
龄的树木包围着。这里用介词among 表示“在……中”，与前面的through the Redwood
Forests 呼应。
13．C【解析】句意：我们给我们的学生提供优质的教育，作为回报，我们期待学生能努力
学习。根据句意，这里用介词短语In return 表示“作为回报”。on average“平均”；at best
“充其量，至多”；after all “终究，毕竟”。
14．B【解析】句意：这家医院最近得到一批新的医疗设备，这使更多的病人能够得到治疗。
本空应用非谓语动词；动词allow 与其逻辑主语（前面的整个句子）是逻辑上的主动关
系，因此用现在分词作结果状语。
15．B【解析】─你有Betty 的电话号码吗？——是的，不然我昨天就不可能联系上她了。
根据句中的时间状语和副Otherwise 判断，这里表示与过去事实相反的假设，此时谓语
用“could/might/would/should+完成式”，因此选B。
第二节：完形填空
16．C 根据下文中的“to make myself feel better”可知，作者用食物扼杀(kill)自己的坏心情。
增加(add)，混合(mix)，分享(share)，都与语境不符。
17．A 作者担心自己的健康，为了控制饮食和体重试过许多种节食(diets)的办法。饮料（drinks），
水果(fruits)，菜肴(dishes)，都不符合语境。
18．D 作者担忧自己的健康问题，但许多节食办法都没用，于是觉得对自己的体重(weight)
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
没办法了。
19．C 作者50 岁的时候，体重问题更加突出，严重地(seriously)影响作者的健康。暂时地
(temporarily)，最近(recently)，偷偷地(secretly)，都与语境不符。
20．B 上文说到作者饱受自己体重问题的困扰，因此这里用形容词extra 表示“额外的”，
作者决心要开始甩掉身上多余的肉。
21．A 从选项的词义和搭配看，这里应该用动词attended 与seminar（研讨会）搭配，表示
作者参加了一个研讨会。
22．B 研讨会的一个领导者讲述自己不仅减重125 磅，还为流浪儿童募集了两万五千美元，
这是一个成功(success)的故事。folk“民谣”，adventure“历险”，science“科学”，都不
符合语境。
23．C 作者受到这个领导者的故事的影响(Influenced)，创立了一个项目。使惊奇（Surprised），
逗笑(Amused)，打扰(Disturbed)，都不符合语境。
24．A 这是作者创立的一个项目，因此用名词project 表示“项目，方案”，“project”在下
文多处被提到。
25．D 作者的目标是减重150 磅并募集五万美元来支持一项开始于30 年前的旨在结束饥饿
的运动，因此用in support of 表示“支持”。in search of“寻找”；in need of“需要”；in
place of“代替”。
26．D 把个人的减肥与帮助解决世界问题结合起来，这让作者觉得这是完美的解决办法，
动词strike 可以表示“（以某种方式）给某人留下印象”，因此选D。注意动词strike 的
熟词生义，注意掌握其常见用法。
27．A As 引导时间状语从句表示“当……的时候”，这里说的是当作者开始实施自己的减
肥计划的时候，又担心这次会遇到(run into)和以前减肥中一样的困难。
28．B run into 表示“遇到”，与后面的difficulties 呼应，表示“遇到困难”。
29．D 上文提到作者的担心，害怕会遇到先前的那些困难，因此选D 表示“害怕”。
30．C While 引导让步状语从句表示“尽管”，这里表示作者觉得自己这次走在正确的道路
(path)上，因此选C。
31．B 这里表示捐款大量涌来，flood 在此用作动词表示“涌进”，符合语境。
32．D 这里说的是作者饮食的变化，吃得少，而且吃得很健康(healthy)。吃得很多(heavy)，
吃得很饱(full)，吃的东西很贵(expensive)，都不符合语境。
33．A 作者经常锻炼，regularly 表示“有规律地，经常地”。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
34．B 这里说的是作者一年之后实现(reached)了自己先前设定的目标，因此选B。
35．C 作者在这里发出感慨，自己在减肥的同时做了一件有意义的事：为流浪儿童募捐，
因此选C。
第二部分：阅读理解
A
36．C【解析】根据题干中的“realising an email accident”可把答案定位在第二段。该段说，
在你点击“发送”数秒钟之后你就会意识到自己的错误，结合下文的“freeze in horror and
burn with shame”可知，人们意识到“邮件事故”后，可能会感觉糟糕，因此选C。
37．A【解析】根据题干中的“written the wrong name”可把答案定位在第五段，该部分提
出建议说，此时赶紧给对方发一个简短的回复，为自己的错误道歉（apologising for your
mistake），而且要注意道歉的语调(don't handle it too lightly)，这与A 项的陈述是一致的。
38．B【解析】根据题干的内容可把答案定位至第六段，这部分提到，如果你不小心点了“回
复所有人”，可能有人会就此开始回复不太友好的话，此时你最好离开电脑键盘（step
away from your keyboard），以便让大家都冷静下来。这与B 项的陈述相吻合，表示“避
免继续卷入（这样的对话）”。
39．D【解析】根据题干中的“offensive email”可把答案定位在最后一段。这部分提到，在
出现冒犯对方的情况时，要尽快亲自向对方道歉。故选D。
40．C【解析】通读全文，尤其是第三段的内容可知，本文主要介绍的是发送电子邮件出现
问题时人们该如何面对和补救，因此C 项最能概括本文的主题。
B
41．B【解析】由第二段可知，作者找到一个取景的地方准备拍下全景的时候，一个女士从
她身后过来，然后就站在她前面，也在那里欣赏风景，因此选B。
42．A【解析】由第三段中的“She seemed so content in her observation”可知，那位女士似
乎在怡然地观赏风景，因此选A。
43．C【解析】根据第四段的最后两句可知，正是因为那位女士站在镜头里欣赏风景，所以
拍摄的照片有了生命力，因此选C。
44．D【解析】第六段说，我们都生活在彼此的空间里，我们都欣赏美，都有分享快乐的共
同渴望，因此选D。
45．A【解析】本文通过讲述作者一次旅游时拍照的经历告诉我们：我们都有对美的追求。
因此本文是作者对一次旅游拍照经历的遐思。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C
46．D【解析】根据下文“the grey area between... the driverless future”对“死亡谷”的解释，
可知这里的“死亡谷”指的是：半自动驾驶与完全无人驾驶的汽车之间的这片中间区域
（界线不明、难以界定的领域），故应指驾驶员的角色不明朗的情景，D 项描述与之吻
合。
47．B【解析】根据第三段提到德国交通部长希望的三件事以及第四段说交通道路法规中关
于自主驾驶车辆的这种变化将会允许完全自主驾驶的车辆投入使用（permit fully
automatic driving）可知，选B。
48．D【解析】题干询问消费者（乘客）对于无人驾驶汽车的看法，在谈到谁应承担无人驾
驶车辆的责任时，第七段说，当你说无人驾驶车辆的时候，人们以为是没有司机，从这
些信息可以推断出，消费者在这种情况下会觉得没有为无人驾驶车辆的安全问题负责的
人，故选D。
49．C【解析】在谈到无人驾驶车辆在各国的前景时，最后两段谈到在英国和新加坡，由政
府提供的无人驾驶车辆正在投入使用，但是在美国这种情况就会很糟糕（go down poorly
in the US），在这里，认为政府会接管无人驾驶车辆，把它们作为对公众有益的事物，
这是完全行不通的(would get absolutely nowhere)，由此推断，作者觉得这种无人驾驶车
辆在美国没有发展前景。
50．A【解析】全文把德国交通部长的提议作为引入，讲述了无人驾驶车辆的法律责任的认
定，无人驾驶车辆在遇到车祸时首先应该保障的是车辆还是乘客的安全等问题，因此选
A。
D
51．B【解析】第二段作者在分析第一类等待的时候说，在“看着水壶式的等待”中，我们
的大脑常会离开我们，到处飘移(the brain slips away from the body and wanders about)，
这与B 项陈述吻合。
52．A【解析】作者在解释第二种等待（即“被迫等待”）的时候说，这种等待需要一些纪
律(requires a bit of discipline)，需要耐心(requires patience)，这与A 项陈述的“需要一些
自我控制”是一致的。
53．B【解析】关于这种“运气式的等待”，倒数第三段说它大多是自愿的，而且这种等待
所期待的结果未必就一定会出现(does not necessarily mean that it will happen)，这与B
项的描述是一致的，因此选B。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
54．D【解析】作者在最后一段说，下次我们在等待的时候不要绝望 (don't be desperate)，
在等待的时候你可能很忙，别人也可能很忙。由此推断选D“不要灰心”。
55．C【解析】从文章内容看，作者首先说明“等待”在我们生活中的重要性，然后把等待
分为“看着水壶式的等待”“被迫等待”和“运气式的等待”三类，并逐一分析各自的
特点，因此选C。

A
Benjamin West， the father of American painting， showed his talent for art when he was
only six years of age． But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed
one． In those days ， a brush was made from camel’s hair． There were no camels
nearby． Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead． He cut some fur from the family
cat to make a brush．
The brush did not last long．Soon Benjamin needed more fur．Before long， the cat began
to look ragged(蓬乱)．His father said that the cat must be sick．Benjamin was forced to admit
what he had been doing．
The cat’s lot was about to improve．That year，one of Benjamin’s cousins，Mr．Pennington，
came to visit．He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings．When he went home，he sent
Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes．He also sent six engravings （版画）by an artist．These
were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen．
In 1747，when Benjamin was nine years old，Mr．Pennington returned for another visit．He
was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift．He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might
take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit．
In the city，Mr．Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings．The boy
began a landscape (风景) painting．William Williams，a well-known painter，came to see him
work．Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take
home．The books were long and dull．Benjamin could read only a little，having been a poor
student．But he later said，“ Those two books were my companions by day，and under my pillow
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
at night．”While it is likely that he understood very little of the books，they were his introduction
to classical paintings．The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist．
21．What is the text mainly about?
A．Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia．
B．Williams’ influence on Benjamin．
C．The beginning of Benjamin’s life as an artist．
D．The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington．
22．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest?
A．The cat would be closely watched．
B．The cat would get some medical care．
C．Benjamin would leave his home shortly．
D．Benjamin would have real brushes soon．
23．What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent?
A．He took him to see painting exhibitions．
B．He provided him with painting materials．
C．He sent him to a school in Philadelphia．
D．He taught him how to make engravings．
24．Williams’ two books helped Benjamin to ________．
A．master the use of paints
B．appreciate landscape paintings
C．get to know other painters
D．make up his mind to be a painter
B
Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids． According to a new
survey(调查) by the National Sleep Foundation， 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or
later on school nights， even though they have to get up early． Last year the Foundation
reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day， and 15% said
they had fallen asleep at school．
How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age． Babies need a lot of rest: most of
them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours． For most school-age children，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
ten hours is ideal(理想的)． But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10-
to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours． And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids
said they do before bedtime? Watch TV．
“More children are going to bed with TVs on，and there are more opportunities(机会) to
stay awake，with more homework，the Internet and the phone，” says Dr．Mary Carskadon， a
sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School．She says these activities at bedtime can get
kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep．Other experts say part of the
problem is chemical．Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make
teenagers’ bodies develop adult characteristics，but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep
before 11 pm．
Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers，some school districts have decided to
start high school classes later than they used to． Three years ago， schools in Edina， Minnesota，
changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am．Students，parents and teachers are pleased
with the results．
25．What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?
A．American kids’ sleeping habits． B．Teenagers’ sleep-related diseases．
C．Activities to prevent sleeplessness． D．Learning problems and lack of sleep．
26．How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day?
A． 7 hours． B． 8 hours． C． 10 hours． D． 18 hours．
27．Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon?
A．They are affected by certain body chemicals．
B．They tend to do things that excite them．
C．They follow their parents’ examples．
D．They don’t need to go to school early．

FLORENCE，Italy—Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt．The Moldovan has lived here seven years as
a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly，but in order to stay she’s had to prove her language
skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a
fictional job ad．
Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民)
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits， or in some cases，
citizenship．
Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for
natives to keep jobs，such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than
integration(融合)．Others say it’s only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host
nation，seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society．
Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants，and some terms
are even tougher．The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and
promote understanding across cultures．
Italy， which has a much weaker tradition of immigration， has witnessed a sharp increase
in immigration in recent years． In 1990， immigrants numbered some 1．14 million out of Italy’s
then 56．7 million people， or about 2 percent． At the start of this year， foreigners living in Italy
amounted to 4．56 million of a total population of 60．6 million， or 7．5 percent， with
immigrants’ children accounting for an even larger percentage of births in Italy．
Cojochru，the Moldovan caregiver，hoped obtaining permanent residence(居住权) would
help her bring her two children to Italy；they live with her sister in Moldova，where salaries are
among the lowest in Europe．She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage
integration．
Italians always “see me as a foreigner，” an outsider， even though she’s stayed in the
country for years and can speak the local language fluently，she said．
28．Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?
A．To continue to stay in Italy． B．To teach her children Italian．
C．To find a better job in Italy． D．To better mix with the Italians．
29．Some people worry that the new language requirement may ________．
A．reduce Italy’s population quickly B．cause conflicts among people
C．lead to financial difficulties D．put pressure on schools
30．What do we know about Cojochru?
A．She lives with her sister now in Italy．
B．She enjoys learning the Italian language．
C．She speaks Italian well enough for her job．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．She wishes to go back to her home country．

How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews
The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a
cameraman to interview people on the sport． 31 But with these tips，your first
man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy．
·When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story，
think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it． For example，
if your topic is about environmental problems in America， you might ask， “Why do you think
environmental protection is important in America?” 32
·Hit the streets with confidence． 33 Say， “Excuse me， I work for XYZ News， and
I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic．” This is a quick way to get
people to warm up to you．
·Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on
camera．Don’t get discouraged．
· 34 Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes．As
soon as you get the answer you need， move on to the next person．Make sure that as you go
from interview to interview， you are getting a variety of answers．If everyone is giving you the
same answer，you won’t be able to use it． A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to
ten． 35
·If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the
air，don’t leave work without them．
A．Limit your time．
B．As you approach people，be polite．
C．If you don’t own a camera，you can buy one．
D．For new reporters，this can seem like a challenging task．
E．To get good and useful results，ask them the same question．
F．That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need．

On a bright，warm July afternoon，Mac Hollan，a primary school teacher，was cycling from
his home to Alaska with his friends．One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair，but
they had encouraged Mac to carry on，and they would catch up with him soon．As Mac pedaled
(骑行) along alone，he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home．He hoped to
show them this beautiful place someday．
Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him．“Man，that's a big dog!” he
thought．But when he looked to the side，he saw instantly that it wasn’t a dog at all，but a wolf，
quickly catching up with him．
Mac’s heart jumped．He found out his can of hear spray．With one hand on the bars，he fired
the spray at the wolf．A bright red cloud enveloped the animal，and to Mac's relief，it fell back，
shaking its head．But a minute later，it was by his side again．Then it attacked the back of Mac's
bike， tearing open his tent bag． He fired at the wolf a second time， and again， it fell back
only to quickly restart the chase（追赶）。
Mac was pedaling hard now．He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to
show down．He saw a steep uphill climb before him．He knew that once he hit the hill，he’d be
easy caught up and the wolf’s teeth would be tearing into his flesh．
At this moment，Paul and Becky were driving their car on their way to Alaska．They didn’t
think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road．A bit later，
they spotted what they，too， assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike．As they got

A
【难句分析】While it is likely that he understood very little of the books，they were his
introduction to classical paintings．
分析：这是一个复合句。主句是they were his introduction to classical paintings，While it
is likely that he understood very little of the books 是让步状语从句；that he understood very
little of the books 是主语从句。
译文：虽然很有可能本杰明对这些书理解甚少，但它们却是他了解古典绘画的入门指导。
21．C【解析】根据文章第一段首句“Benjamin West．．．when he was only six years of age”
以及第四段首句“In 1747，when Benjamin was nine years old”和最后一段，并结合全文
可知，全文主要讲述了本杰明·韦斯特少年时代的艺术启蒙，故选C 项。
22．D【解析】该句需要结合上下文来理解，第二段提到本杰明剪猫的毛来制作画笔，导致
猫惨遭“毁毛破相”，而下文又提到本杰明的堂兄Pennington 给他送来了颜料和画笔。
由此可以推知，画线句说明“猫的命运得到了改善”，隐含着“本杰明将得到真正的画
笔”，故选D 项。A 项“猫会被密切关注”，文章中并未提及；B 项“猫会得到一些药物
治疗”，虽然第二段中提到本杰明父亲认为猫病了，但并没有说明它需要治疗；C 项“本
杰明将很快离开家”，根据下文可知，本杰明只是9 岁的时候离开过家，故与语境不符。
23．B【解析】根据文章第五段首句“In the city，Mr． Pennington gave Benjamin materials for
creating oil paintings”可知，为了更好地发展本杰明的绘画天赋，堂兄Pennington 给了
他很多帮助，提供了创作油画的材料，故选B 项。
24．D【解析】根据文章最后一段本杰明说的话以及“While it is likely that he understood…The
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist”可推知，Williams 给本杰明的
两本关于绘画的著作帮助本杰明打开了艺术之门，使他立志成为艺术家，故选D 项。
B
【难句分析】Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60%， of 7-to12-year-olds said
they felt tired during the day，and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school．
分析：本句是一个复合句。主句是the Foundation reported．．．，后面的that nearly 60% of
7-to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day 和 15% said they had fallen asleep at school
是两个并列的宾语从句。这两个并列的宾语从句中又各自包含一个宾语从句，分别是they felt
tired during the day 和they had fallen asleep at school。
译文：去年，基金会报告说，几乎60%的7 至12 岁青少年说他们白天感到疲倦，而15%
的青少年说他们上课的时候都睡着了。
25．A【解析】根据文章第一段内容可知，该调查主要是对青少年的睡眠进行研究，所以选
A 项。
26．C【解析】根据文章第二段的“For most school-age children，ten hours is ideal(理想的)”
可知，11 岁左右的青少年最佳的睡眠时长是10 小时，故选C 项。
27．B【解析】根据第三段第一句和“ She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited
and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep”可推知，由于青少年晚上的活动都会
使他们兴奋，所以他们很难静下心来睡觉，从而导致晚睡，故选B 项。A 项“青少年受
到身体里特定化学物质的影响”是其他专家解释的原因，而不是Carskadon 博士解释的
原因，故排除；C 项“他们以父母为榜样”，全文没有提到父母的生活习惯对子女的影
响，故排除；D 项“他们不需要早点上学”，文章最后提到部分学校推迟上学时间，这
是应对青少年睡眠时间少的一种措施，而不是青少年晚睡的原因，故排除。
C
【难句分析】The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the
elderly， but in order to stay she's had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires
her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad．
分析：本句是并列句。根据but 可知，本句是表示转折关系的并列句，但but 前后又都
包含较复杂的成分。前一部分的主要成分是The Moldovan has lived here seven years；后一部
分主要成分是she's had to prove her language skills。同时第二部分中又包含定语从句which
requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad，修饰先行词
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
a test。
译文：这个摩尔多瓦妇女已经在意大利7 年了，她的工作是照顾意大利的小孩和老人，
但为了能够继续留在意大利，她将不得不参加一个语言测试，以此来证明自己的语言能力，
这个测试要求她给一个虚构的朋友写一张明信片，同时回复一则虚构的招聘广告。
28．A【解析】根据文章第一段的“but in order to stay she's had to prove her language skills”
可知，Cojochru 为了能够继续在意大利待下去，将不得不参加语言测试，所以选A 项。
29．B【解析】根据文章第三段的“Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times
make…for intolerance than integration（融合）”可知，许多移民支持者认为这种语言要
求将会带来更多的不宽容，而不是更多的融合，从而也可能导致更多的冲突，所以选B
项。
30．C【解析】 根据文章最后一段中的“she's stayed in the country for years and can speak the
local language fluently，she said”可知，Cojochru 已经在意大利长居多年，能流利地讲
当地的语言，这足以使她应对她在当地的工作，故选C 项。A 项“她与姐姐现在生活在
意大利”，这与倒数第二段提到的“她的两个孩子与她姐姐在摩尔多瓦”不符，故排除；
B 项“她喜欢学习意大利语”，与文章开头提到的“feels hurt”和全文提及的她的焦虑
不一致，故排除；D 项“她希望能够回国”与倒数第二段提到的“她希望获得意大利的
永久居住权”不一致，故排除。

tips”和“can be easy”可知，街头的采访对于新的记者来说似乎是富有挑战性的工作，
但有了以下建议，就能得心应手了，所以选D。
32．G 考查承接上文。由空前的“Why do you think”可知，提问时不要使用可以让对方给出
“Yes”或“No”简短回答的问题，而应该提问能让被采访者多说一些内容的问题，故
选G。
33．B 考查承上启下。由空前的“confidence”和下文中的“Excuse me”和“I was wondering”
可知，到街头进行采访时要自信，同时也要有礼貌，故选B。
34．A 考查段落主题。由空后的“shouldn't be longer than ten minutes…move on to the next
person”可知，要控制采访的时间，故选A。
35．F 考查段落总结。根据空前的“A safe number of interviews．to conduct is about six to ten”
可知，采访的次数不要过多，以约6 至10 次为宜，同时这些采访应当给出所有你需要
【斐然英语十年真题系列】

第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35 分）
第一节（共10 小题；每小题2．5 分，满分25 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in
Britain． People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to
Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally． The steam-powered
printing press was still in its early stages； the literacy（识字）rate in England was under
50%． Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something
like “By a lady．”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad．
In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and
publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and
their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral
touchstones． Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged． Removing him from the pantheon（名
人堂）of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona
Lisa．
How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a
numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass． Some 60,000 novels were
published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901；today a casual reader might be able to
name a half-dozen of them．It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from
all walks of life． It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific
progress． But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center． No
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a
distinguished writer．But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and
important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one．
21．Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?
A．They were difficult to understand．
B．They were popular among the rich．
C．They were seen as nearly worthless．
D．They were written mostly by women．
22．Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________．
A．his reputation in France
B．his interest in modern art
C．his success in publication
D．his importance in literature
23．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To remember a great writer．
B．To introduce an English novel．
C．To encourage studies on culture．
D．To promote values of the Victorian age．
B
Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks．His strange habit makes sense when you consider
that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off
garbage trucks as they drive down the road．What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's
jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags．
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year． So many end up in
tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at
checkouts(收银台) ． The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los
Angeles． Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the
case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume．
Among the bag makers' argument：many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase
paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport．And while
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground
today．
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement： reusable
shopping bags． The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it
cancels out． However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make． One
study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic．
Environmentalists don't dispute（质疑） these points． They hope paper bags will be banned
someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years．
24．What has Steven Stein been hired to do?
A．Help increase grocery sales．
B．Recycle the waste material．
C．Stop things falling off trucks．
D．Argue for the use of plastic bags．
25．What does the word “headwinds”in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Bans on plastic bags．
B．Effects of city development．
C．Headaches caused by garbage．
D．Plastic bags hung in trees．
26．What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?
A．They are quite expensive．
B．Replacing them can be difficult．
C．They are less strong than plastic bags．
D．Producing them requires more energy．
27．What is the best title for the text?
A．Plastic, Paper or Neither
B．Industry, Pollution and Environment
C．Recycle or Throw Away
D．Garbage Collection and Waste Control
C
As cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young． The Model T Ford was built at the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line（装配线） on
September 27, 1908． Only eleven cars were produced the next month． But eventually Henry
Ford would build fifteen million of them．
Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel． The car shaped some of the most
lasting aspects of American culture： the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the
hamburger． For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American—
going forward at high speed to find new worlds． The road novel, the road movie, these are the
most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate
highway system, the largest public works project in history．
In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot and a car in every
garage．” Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed
America from a farm-based society into an industrial power．
The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological
disaster． In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990．
The problems of excessive（过度的）energy consumption, climate change and population
growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L． Friedman． He fears
the worst, but hopes for the best．
Friedman points out that the green economy（经济）is a chance to keep American
strength． “The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water,
clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century．”
28．Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?
A．To explain Americans’ love for travelling by car．
B．To show the influence of cars on American culture．
C．To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans．
D．To praise the effectiveness of America’s road system．
29．What has the use of cars in America led to?
A．Decline of economy． B．Environmental problems．
C．A shortage of oil supply． D．A farm-based society．
30．What is Friedman’s attitude towards America’s future?
A．Ambiguous． B．Doubtful． C．Hopeful． D．Tolerant．

It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before． He decided

We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico． We reached
Albuquerque in the late afternoon． Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and
drove us up to his farm in Pecos．
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle． My
dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water
rolling down the river nearby． Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have
breakfast． "The day starts at dawn on my farm," he said． After breakfast, I went to help Aunt
Tina feed the chickens． while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃
草)． I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses． They looked really cool．
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a hose ride, and he said yes, as long as my
dad went with me． I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway． So, my dad and I put
on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains． "Don’t be
late for supper," Uncle Paul cried, "and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!" "OK! " my
dad cried back． After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight． It was so
peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late
afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene． It looked like a beautiful woven(编织的）blanket
spread out upon the ground just for us．

第二部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
21．C【解析】根据第一段中的“Novels，for the most part，were looked upon as silly，immoral
or just plain bad”可知，在18 世纪的时候，小说被人们看作是愚蠢的，不道德的和非常
糟糕的，所以选C 项。
22．D【解析】根据第二段，尤其是“Today Dickens，greatness is unchallenged． Removing
him from．．． the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa”可推知，狄更斯的伟大是不容置疑和
无可辩驳的，如果说要把他从英国文学史上拿掉的话，就犹如卢浮宫把蒙娜丽莎卖掉一
样。由此我们推断出此处是在强调狄更斯在英国文学史上的重要性。根据常识可知，狄
更斯不是法国人，文中也未提到他在法国的名声，故排除A 项；B 项在文中无细节信
息支撑，故排除B 项；根据第二段可知，狄更斯虽然同时也是个出版商，但这并不是
他的成就所在，故排除C 项。
23．A【解析】根据文章最后一段中的“No one will ever know．．．such a distinguished
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
writer． But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches．．．lasting one”可推知，作
者写作本文主要是为了纪念狄更斯200 周年诞辰。
B
24．D【解析】根据第一段中的“is defending an industry”和第二段中的“like Stein to make
the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume”可推知，Stein
是一个为塑料业，特别是支持塑料袋使用而发声的科学家，故选D 项。
25．A【解析】根据文章第二段中的“The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities”可知，大约
90 个城市已经禁止使用塑料袋，再根据画线词下文的内容可知画线词指代上文提到的
禁止使用塑料袋，故选A 项。
26．D【解析】根据第四段中的“However，longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy
to make”可知，生产可重复使用的袋子会消耗更多的能源，故选D 项。
27．A【解析】根据最后一段中的“Environmentalists don't dispute（质疑）these points． They
hope paper bags will be banned someday too”并结合全文可知，本文主要讲述了塑料袋和
可重复使用纸袋的利弊。故A 项能很好地概括全文。
C
译文：那些载着美国梦的汽车已经造成了全球生态灾难。
28．B【解析】根据第二段中的“The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American
culture．．．even the hamburger”可知，汽车业的快速发展带动了大量体现美国文化的其
他行业的发展。由此可知，本段提到汉堡的主要目的在于说明汽车发展对美国文化的影
响。
29．B【解析】根据第四段中的“The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create
a global ecological disaster”和第五段中的“The problems of excessive(过度的)energy
consumption”可知，汽车业发展带来的大问题是环境问题，答案选B 项。
30．C【解析】根据第五段中的“but hopes for the best”和全文最后一段可知，Friedman 对
美国的前景还是很看好的，认为在绿色经济的带动下，美国的未来会变得更好，答案选
C 项。A 项表示“模棱两可的”，B 项表示“感到怀疑的”，D 项表示“容忍的，忍受的”，
都不符合文意。
第二节
31．G 本空承上启下。根据前一句“The easiest way to．．．a good neighbor should”，同时结
合下文几段的具体做法可知，G 项“这里是几个能帮你快速在社区中获得大家的友谊
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
的窍门”能很好地起到过渡作用，所以选G 项。
32．F 由上文的“keep your property（房产）neat，clean，and in good repair”和下文的“in great
shape”可知，本段讲的是要把自己的房前屋后整理干净，保持良好状况，才能成为
一个好邻居，从而赢得邻居们的尊重，故F 项与此处匹配。
33．E 由上文提到的“When,．．a small garbage bag”和下文的“This small act．．．care about
the area”可知，出门时要随身带一个小垃圾袋，保持社区的卫生，所以E 选项能与
上下文的信息连接顺畅。
34．B 本空是段落主题句。由下文的“offer to collect mail and newspapers”“offer to do the
grocery shopping”“you are there to help”可知，乐于助人，时刻能给邻居们以举手之
劳．的帮助，这也是赢得邻居们尊重和快速融入社区的窍门，所以B 选项能概括该
段。
35．C 本空是段落主题句。根据下文的“respecting others，taking care of”“taking pride”等
可知，尊重他人，关心邻里，体贴他人，以社区为荣，做好邻居，所以C 选项“成
为一个好邻居或多或少是有关为他人着想的行为的”能概括本段。
第三部分语言运用
第一节完形填空
36．D 根据上下文可知，人人都知道时间比金钱更有价值，但人们可能拥有过多的时间吗？
37．A 根据全文可知，此处是我的回忆，故remember“记得”符合语境。
38．D play (a) sport 是固定搭配，表示“从事（一项）体育运动”。
39．B 由于还在学校从事体育运动，回家后，我不得不马上做作业。right away 是固定词组，
表示“立刻，马上”。
40．C 根据上下文可知，当我上大学时，事情发生了变化，所以选changed。
41．A 根据上下文可知，我突然发现自己上午就上完课了，所以有了很多额外的时间，故选
extra。
42．C 根据语境可知，与高中不一样的是，由于有了很多额外的时间，我就没有了以前那种
要马上做作业的紧迫感。urgency 表示“紧急，紧迫”。
43．D 后来，我就慢慢地养成了一种等待（拖延）的习惯，所以选habit。
44。A 根据下文可知，我一再往后推迟做作业和学习的时间，故选pushing，
push back 表示“推迟”。
45．B 根据语境可知，我的这种拖延的习惯后来使我都要熬夜到很晚才能把作业做完。stay up
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
表示“熬夜”，符合语境。
46．A 根据语境可知，后来有一天，我碰到了一个我以前的同学，met 表示“遇见”。
47．D 我的这位同学通过经营副业，赚了很多钱。make a lot of money 是常用表达，表示“赚
很多钱”。
48．C 根据上下文可推知，我同学的固定工作是很枯燥乏味的，所以选boring。
49．D 根据句意可知，如果没有固定工作，我同学就会有很多时间。
50．B 根据第三段内容，尤其是“When I got into college．．．noon time”可知，就会像我在
大学(college)期间那样（感觉时间多，从而经常拖延）。
51．A 根据语境可知，他说要是他辞去(quit)固定工作（而一门心思去从事副业的话），他就
会失去工作和成功的干劲。
52．C 参见上题解析。drive 表示“干劲，魄力”。
53．B 此处作者感慨要多用自己的时间多做事情。fill up sth．with sth．是固定词组，表示“用
某物装满／填满某物”。
54．C 根据语境可知，老话说得好，忙人才能做好事情！saying 表示“谚语”。
55．B 参见上题解析。busy“忙的”符合语境。
第二节
56．dishes 考查名词单复数。dish 是可数名词，其前无限定词，故用其复数形式dishes。
57．who/that 考查定语从句。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是
Many westerners，故填关系代词who/that。
58．it 考查代词。此处应用it 作形式主语，真正的主语是to eat out。
59．visiting 考查非谓语动词。remember doing sth．表示“记得做过某事”，故填visiting。
60．was shocked 考查时态和语态。根据语境可知，此处表示“我感到很震惊”，shock 与主
语I 为被动关系，同时根据后面的learnt 可知，时态为一般过去时，所以填was shocked。
61．have become 考查非谓语动词。根据语境和时间状语in recent years 可知，此处需要用不
定式的完成式，故填have become。
62． affordable 考查形容词。根据语境可知，一周在外就餐一到两次可能是可以负担得起的，
故填形容词affordable。
63．higher 考查形容词的比较级。根据even 并结合语境可知，此处表示“更高的代价”，故
需要用high 的比较级higher。
64．weight 考查名词。根据语境可知，此处表示“体重问题”，故空处需要填名词weight。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
65．for 考查介词。根据语境可知，此处应用介词for 表示“目的”。

第二节 读后续写
【故事梗概】我和我父亲在一个夏天前往Wild West 度假。当我们到达当地的时候，我
爸爸的朋友Paul 前来接我们并把我们带到了他的农场。
Paul 叔叔的妻子Tina 给我们准备了丰富的晚餐，我们也认识了他们的孩子Ryan 和
Kyle．那天晚上，我和爸爸睡在农场的客房里，夜晚听着周围大自然的声音入眠。
次日一大早，Paul 叔叔叫醒我们吃早饭。吃完早饭，我看到爸爸和Paul 叔叔带着羊去
吃草，他们骑在马背上的样子，看起来非常酷。
午后，我询问Paul 叔叔我是否能出去骑马，他说只要爸爸陪着我并可以。我整装待发，
慢慢向山里走去。Paul 叔叔在身后大声嘱咐我们：“一定在晚餐前回来，同时注意沿路的痕
迹否则会迷路的”爸爸大声回到：“好的。”很快，Paul 叔叔和他的农场就在视野中消失了。
沿途的安静而迷人的风景开始展现在我们眼前。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
【亮点说明】本文结构紧凑，层次分明，而且使用了多种表达：
Startled by the white fluffy rabbit， the horse almost threw me off its back． （高分句型一）
句中Startled by the white fluffy rabbit 为过去分词短语作状语
被白色的兔子吓了一跳，马几乎把我从背上摔了下来．
It was then that we enjoyed a symphony of nature﹣﹣﹣the warm breeze ruffling through
the trees， the insects buzzing and other animals contributing their unique sounds…（高分句型二）
句中使用了It is/was+强调部分+that+其他，这是强调句型
就是在那个时候我们享受了大自然的交响乐﹣﹣温暖的微风吹过树林，昆虫嗡嗡作响，
其他动物发出独特的声音．
【范文赏读】
Paragraph1：
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse． Startled by the white fluffy rabbit，
the horse almost threw me off its back． （高分句型一）I hurriedly tightened my grip and couldn't
help letting out screams． But after we regained our calm， I was amused both by the thrill and the
innocence of the little creature． Seeing it fleeing， cheerily， I turned to my dad， "Dad， can
we follow it？" My dad nodded with a tolerant smile． Soon without consciousness， we were
miles away up into the mountain and we lost track of the rabbit and of course， the track Uncle
Paul had asked us to keep to．
Paragraph2：
We had no idea where we were and it got dark． We had to get off the horses and tried to
figure out the way back， but after many attempts， we still failed﹣﹣﹣we got lost． I grew a bit
anxious， but with dad around， I felt all right． As darkness thickened， dad believed it was safer
to stay on the spot and waited for help． It was then that we enjoyed a symphony of nature﹣﹣﹣
the warm breeze ruffling through the trees， the insects buzzing and other animals contributing
their unique sounds…（高分句型二）This serenity ended as we heard shouts and torches came into
our sight． At this time， I felt extremely grateful， to Paul and Tina， to this vacation with my
dad， and to nature．

and I could not understand the news on television or movies or anything like this， so I entered the

college because no one in my family ever went to any college or to any university． You know，
when you are 15 years old in my country， you finish school and then you learn a trade．And that’s
exactly what I did． When I was 15 years old， I learned how to be a carpenter．A year later， I
came to America． Luckily， I met a very good teacher who encouraged me to take some math
classes， business classes and history classes and I became a full-time college student． And today
when I look back， I’m so happy because you never know where life will take you．All of a
sudden，I started making money， because I was really good at math．You know， how to work
out everything with math is so important．This is something that I learned when I started my own
business，which is doing really well．

A
The most welcome sight on a cold, wet winter night in London is the familiar shape of a
London taxi cab approaching with its yellow “ for hire” sign shining brightly． That shows it is
ready to pick you up．Travelling by taxi in London is not just a way of going from one place to
another．It is an experience to be enjoyed and remembered．
The main reason for this is the drivers, who are called “cabbies．” Many of them are true
Cockneys． This means they were born in the heart of London and speak their own special
dialect(方言) of English．All of them know every street and famous building in the city, and all of
them love to talk．A simple twenty-minute journey across town can become very interesting． You
may have a discussion about the government and its leaders or a friendly talk about the driver's
Aunty Nellie! One thing is for sure, it will never be boring． Cabbies know all the latest news
about film stars, the Royal Family, government leaders, and popular singers or actors and actresses．
They also know the best places to eat, shop and relax． And they can take you straight to any
large hotel, department store, theatre or museum． They know the shortest way possible without
even looking at a map, because everyone who wants to become a taxi driver must pass a very
difficult examination in order to get a license to drive a taxi． The exam is called “The
Knowledge．” It is a written test, and in it drivers are asked the shortest way from one place to
another．They must take into account the time of day - in rush hour, a longer route(路线) may be
quicker - and describe the best way．Moreover they must never forget the one-way streets !
21．From what can we tell that someone is a Cockney?
A．Their interest． B．Their manners．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．Their speech． D．Their appearance．
22．What does the author suggest by mentioning “ Aunty Nellie” in paragraph 2?
A．Passengers are full of curiosity．
B．Cabbies’ topics are wide-ranging．
C．Aunty Nellie is popular in London．
D．Londoners are friendly to each other．
23．What is the purpose of “ The Knowledge” ?
A．To qualify one to drive a taxi．
B．To assess one’s driving skills．
C．To test drivers’ ability to write．
D．To check taxi drivers’ memory．
B
This month millions of American kids can forget about classroom bells and set off for
grandparents’ homes, sleep-away camps and lifeguard stands． But summer vacation hasn’t
always been a birthright of U．S． schoolchildren． Before the Civil War, schools operated on one
of two calendars (日历) , neither of which included a summer vacation． Rural(农村的) schooling
was divided into summer and winter terms, leaving kids free to help with the farm work in the
spring planting and fall harvest seasons． Urban students, meanwhile, regularly had as many as
48 weeks of study a year, with one break per quarter．
In the 1840s, however, educational reformers like Horace Mann moved to combine the two
calendars out of concern that rural schooling was not enough and that overusing of young minds
could lead to nervous disorders．Summer appeared as the obvious time for a break：it offered a rest
for teachers, fit in the farming calendar and reduced doctors’ concern that packing students into
hot classrooms would promote the spread of disease．
But people’s opinion about the modern U．S． school year, which averages 180 days, is still
divided． Some experts say its pleasant but lazy summer break, which took hold in the early 20th
century, is one of the reasons math skills and graduation rates of U．S． high schoolers ranked well
below average in two international education reports published in 2007． Others insist that with
children under increasing pressure to devote their downtime to internships(实习 ) or study, there's
still room for an institution that protects the lazy days of childhood．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
24．What did the rural school calendar before the Civil War allow children to do?
A．Enjoy a summer vacation．
B．Take a break each quarter．
C．Have 48 weeks of study a year．
D．Assist their parents with farm work．
25．What did the educational reformers do in the 1840s?
A．They introduced summer vacation．
B．They shortened rural school terms．
C．They promoted the study of farming．
D．They advocated higher pay for teachers．
26．Why are some people unhappy about the modem U．S．school year?
A．It pushes the teachers too hard．
B．It reduces the quality of education．
C．It ignores science instruction．
D．It includes no time for internships．
C
I start every summer with the best of intentions：to attack one big book from the past, a
classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious．Often the pairings of books
and settings have been purely accidental:“ Moby Dick” on a three-day cross-country train trip;
“ The Magic Mountain” in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no
telephones or televisions in the rooms, and little to do beyond row on the salt pond． Attempting
“ The Man Without Qualities” on a return to Hawaii, my native state, however, was less fruitful: I
made it through one and a quarter volumes(册) , then decided that I’d got the point and went
swimming instead．
But this summer I find myself at a loss．I’m not quite interested in Balzac, say, or “Tristram

to get bogged down in the “War” part , set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start
over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone’s name and social rank．How appealing

Some people are so rude． Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “ Thank
you” ? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found
on the Internet? 31
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little courtesies (礼节)． But many social
norms (规范) just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication．
Take the thank-you note． Daniel Post Senning，a coauthor of Emily Post’s Etiquette, asked,
“At what point does showing appreciation outweigh the cost?”
32 Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages． In texts, you don’t have
to declare who you are or even say hello． E-mail, too, is slower than a text． The worst are those
who leave a voice mail and then send an e-mail message to tell you they left a voice mail．
This isn’t the first time technology has changed our manners． 33 Alexander Graham
Bell, the inventor, suggested that people say , “ Ahoy ! ” Finally , hello won out, and the
victory sped up the greeting’s use in face-to-face communications．
In the age of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about :
the weather forecast , a business’s phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, or an
office, which can be easily found on a digital map． 34 And when you answer, they respond
with a thank-you e-mail．
How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience． Some people,
especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message 35 In traditional societies, the young
learn from the old． But in modem societies, the old can also learn from the young． Here's
hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do．
A．Then there is voice mail．
B．Others, like me, want no reply．
C．But people still ask these things．
D．Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?
E．Won’t new technology bring about changes in our daily life ?
F．Face-to-face communication makes comprehension much easier．
G．When the telephone was invented, people didn’t know how to greet a caller．

The Caffeine Catch
Caffeine, a chemical typically found in coffee, has caused a lot of concern because it is one of
the few drugs that show up regularly in our food supply． You probably 56 (use) caffeine since
childhood．Caffeine 57 (be)in your first Coke． If you ever enjoyed a chocolate bar, you ate
caffeine．Soft drinks are the major source（来源）of caffeine for most children and even some
adults． 58 (recent),caffeine has found its way into orange, apple, and other flavored drinks．
Small amounts of caffeine — a cup 59 two of coffee a day — seem safe for most
people．However, some people have trouble with even small amounts．One cup of coffee 60
the late afternoon or evening will cause 61 (they) to stay awake almost all night．Larger
amounts of caffeine can cause a problem 62 (call) caffeinism．You get very nervous and you
can’t sleep．
It is possible 63 caffeine may cause birth defects(缺陷)in humans, too． One study
showed that 64 (woman) who drank a lot of coffee, like eight or more cups per day, while
they were pregnant were more likely 65 (have) children with birth defects．

第二节 概要写作(满分 25 分)
It’s a really good idea to visit colleges before you apply because their websites can all start to
look and sound the same．Nothing will give you the sense of what it will actually be like to live on
a college campus (校园) like visiting and seeing for yourself the dorms, classrooms and athletic
equipment and, of course, the students． It seems a little crazy once senior year hits to find the
time to visit college campuses, and it can also be pricey if the schools you are applying to happen
to be more than a car ride away． But keep in mind that you are making a decision about the next
four years of your life, and do all the research you can to make sure you are making the right one．
There’s no excuse not to visit the schools in your local area．In fact, a lot of college
applications even ask if you have visited campus, and obviously, if you live across the country that
won’t be as much of a possibility, but if you live nearby, go check it out ! If campus visits aren’t
going to happen before you apply, at the very least you should find some time between applying
and getting your acceptance letters to visit the schools you’d like to attend． It can save you a lot
of heartache if you rule out now the things that you don’t like about certain campuses, things that
you wouldn’t know unless you actually visit．
Now, if time and money are making it impossible, then check out the online college fairs at
College Week Live．It’s a chance to chat online with admissions officers, students, and college
counselors(顾问), and it won’t cost you a penny ! You can register for its online college fair at
collegeweeklive.com．While visiting an online college fair can’t take the place of an actual
campus visit, it can be a very useful tool that along with all your other research will help you make
an informed decision about which colleges or universities you’d like to attend．

第二部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国伦敦的出租车司机。
21．C【答案】根据第二段中的“Many of them are true Cockneys．This means they…speak their
own special dialect（方言）of English”可知，他们出生于伦敦的中心，说着他们自己独
特的英语方言。由此可知，根据他们的口音可以判断出来，他们是伦敦人。此处Cockney
表示“伦敦东区人”，所以选C 项。
22．B【答案】根据第二段中的“You may have a discussion…Aunty Nellie”可推知，这些伦
敦出租车司机的聊天话题非常广泛，从政治话题到家长里短，所以选B 项。
23．A 【答案】根据最后一段中的“a taxi driver must pass a very difficult examination in order
to get a license to drive a taxi”可知，要想成为一名伦敦的出租车司机，必须要通过一项
很难的考试。由此可推知，通过了这种被称之为“The Knowledge”考试的人，才有资
格成为一名出租车司机，故选A 项。
B
【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国中小学教学学时的变化历程和暑假的
由来。
24．D【答案】根据第一段中的“Rural（农村的）schooling was divided into…leaving kids free
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
to help with the farm work”可知，美国内战前农村学校的学时分为夏冬两季，目的是让
孩子能够在春秋两季的休假中帮助家里做农活，故选D 项。
25．A【答案】根据第二段中的“In the 1840s…for a break”可推知．19 世纪40 年代，教育
改革者结合了当时农村和城市学校的学时，开始把夏季设置为统一的休假期，故选A
项。
26．B【答案】根据第三段中的“Some experts say… in 2007”可推知，一些专家认为，由
于有暑假，很多美国高中生的学业成绩要远低于国 际平均水平，故选B 项。根据第三
段可知，该段并未提到对教师的影响，故排除A 项；根据第三段中的“there's still room
for an institution”可知，此处提到制度保障，而不是C 项中的instruction“指导”，故排
除C 项：根据第三段中的“to devote their downtime to internships（实习）or study”可
知，很多学生会利用自由支配时间去实习或学习，并不是没有时间去实习，所以排除D
项。
C
【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己夏季的读书历程和感悟。
27．C 【答案】根据第一段的内容，尤其是其中的“Moby Dick”on a three-day cross-country
train trip, “The Magic Mountain” in a New England beachside cottage, “The Man Without
Qualities” on a return to Hawaii 可推知，作者喜欢在旅行时看书，所以选C 项。
28．D【答案】根据语境以及画线短语所在句中的only to get bogged down in the “War” part, set
it aside for a while…from the beginning again 可知，作者看《战争与和平》一书，总是看
到“战争”部分就看不下去了，然后再重新开始看，由此可推知，get bogged down 表
示“使停滞，耽搁”，与D 项含义相近。
29．B【答案】根据第二段中的which feels almost like cheating，too exciting and too much fun
to properly belong in serious literature 并结合上下文可推知，作者看自己喜欢的书的感觉
就像作弊一样，很兴奋，很好玩，而这类书并不属于严肃文学的范畴，由此可推知，作
者认为他应该读一些严肃的东西。所以选B 项。
30．A【答案】根据全文可知，本文一直在强调作者在夏季看的各种书籍，由此可推知，A
项“夏季的书籍”最适合作本文标题。B 项表示“我的暑假”；C 项表示“阅读还是不
阅读”；D 项表示“任何时候读书都不晚”，都不能概括文章的大意，故排除。
第二节
【解题导语】现代生活中人与人之间的交流方式有很多种，但是礼节却渐渐淡化了。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
31．D 空处所在段第一句直接提出了本段的中心，即有些人很没有礼貌，然后列举了三种
情况，因此，尾句应是对前面的三种情况进行总结，即表明问这些问题的人给你带
来的影响。故选D。
32．A 根据空后一句中的“how long it takes to listen to one of those messages”可以推测出，
前一句应该提到的是与声音有关的信息，这与A 项中的“voice mail”相联系。故
选A。
33．G 空后一句中的“Alexander Graham Bell，the inventor，suggested that people say”与
G 项中的“invented”“greet”相联系，故选G。
34．C 根据空后一句中的“And when you answer”可知，空处应该会涉及“提问”，这与C
项中的“ask these things”相联系。故选C。
35．B 根据空前一句中的“Some people，especially older ones”可推知，其与空处应是对
比关系，B 项中的“Others，like me”与其相联系。故选B。
第三部分 语言运用

此处应用现在完成进行时或现在完成时，故填have been using/have used。
57．was 考查主谓一致。根据上下文内容以及空处所在句中的“in your first Coke”可知，

第二节 概要写作
【写作思路】核心内容：本文是一篇说明文。在申请大学之前，最好能够事先去了解即
将报考的大学的相关情况，特别是你家附近的大学；可以亲自到大学里走一走，也可以上网
查询相关情况。
写作分析：(1)抓住主旨，理清结构关系。原文第一段提出了主题，即在申请大学之前
去参观一下是非常必要的；第二、三、四段讲述了具体的措施。
(2)确立语篇主题，合理重组结构。原文第一段首先表明了文章的中心，即“To ensure a brilliant'
college life, you’d better spare time to visit campuses to examine all aspects of your dream
colleges, even if it may be costly”(要点1)；第二段交代了了解大学的方式之一，即“If you live
nearby，be sure to check it out before you apply”（要点2）；第三段交代了了解大学的方式之
二，即“Even after submitting applications，a visit can help avoid much trouble”（要点3）；第
四段交代了了解大学的方式之三，即“ However ，visiting the online college fairs at
collegeweeklive.com, if not possible to see for yourself for lack of time andmoney，will be
beneficial”（要点4）。通过以上分析，我们可以发现原文的论述结构：提出文章中心（要点
1）——展开论述（要点2—4）。那么在概要写作的时候，考生就必须首先确定采取何种表
达顺序，完成对原文要点的表述。

with little food and money．All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 17
more remarkable．
After spotting a 18 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down，he
stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 19 to return．
After hours in the cold and wet，he 20 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to
find some ID so he could contact（联系）the driver，only to 21 it contained £400 in notes，
with another £50 in spare change beside it．
He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 22 a note behind to let the
owner know it was safe． When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence
returned to the car—which was itself worth £35,000—in Glasgow city centre，they were 23

My First Marathon（马拉松）
A month before my first marathon， one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running
for two weeks， leaving me only two weeks to train． Yet， I was determined to go ahead．
I remember back to my 7th year in school． In my first P．E．class，the teacher required us
to run laps and then hit a softball．I didn’t do either well．He later informed me that I was ＂not
athletic＂．
The idea that I was ＂not athletic＂ stuck with me for years． When I started running in my
30s， I realized running was a battle against myself， not about competition or whether or not I
was athletic． It was all about the battle against my own body and mind． A test of wills!
The night before my marathon， I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line． I woke up
sweating and nervous， but ready to prove something to myself．
Shortly after crossing the start line， my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied． So I stopped to
readjust． Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3，I passed a sign：＂GO FOR IT，RUNNERS!＂
By mile 17，I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly． Despite the pain，
I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again．
By mile 21，I was starving!
As I approached mile 23， I could see my wife waving a sign．She is my biggest fan．She
never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m． or questioned my expenses on running．
I was one of the final runners to finish． But I finished! And I got a medal． In fact， I got the
same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Determined to be myself， move forward， free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签)， I
can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂．

Plastic-Eating Worms
Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year．Almost half of that winds
up in landfills(垃圾填埋场)， and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans． So far there is no
effective way to get rid of it， but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some
hungry worms．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can
break down polyethylene，which accounts for 40% of plastics．The team left 100 wax worms on a
commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours，and the worms consumed and broke down
about 92 milligrams，or almost 3% of it．To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not
responsible for the polyethylene breakdown，the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物)
and applied it to plastic films．14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently
broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’ stomachs．Their findings were published in
Current Biology in 2017．
Federica Bertocchini，co-author of the study，says the worms’ ability to break down their
everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic．＂Wax is a complex
mixture，but the basic bond in polyethylene，the carbon-carbon bond，is there as well，＂she
explains，＂The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond．＂
Jennifer DeBruyn，a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee，who was not involved in
the study， says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene．But compared
with previous studies，she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting．The next step，
DeBruyn says，will be to identify the cause of the breakdown．Is it an enzyme produced by the
worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?
Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to
break down plastics in landfills．But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial
process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic．＂
43．What can we learn about the worms in the study?
A．They take plastics as their everyday food．
B．They are newly evolved creatures．
C．They can consume plastics．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．They wind up in landfills．
44．According to Jennifer DeBruyn， the next step of the study is to ．
A．identify other means of the breakdown
B．find out the source of the enzyme
C．confirm the research findings
D．increase the breakdown speed
45．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might ．
A．help to raise worms
B．help make plastic bags
C．be used to clean the oceans
D．be produced in factories in future
46．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To explain a study method on worms．
B．To introduce the diet of a special worm．
C．To present a way to break down plastics．
D．To propose new means to keep eco-balance．
D
Preparing Cities for Robot Cars
The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream， years
away from materializing in the real world． Well， the future is apparently now． The California
Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly
self-driving cars on public roads． The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out
self-driving cars， and for companies to operate driverless taxi services． California， it should be
noted， isn’t leading the way here． Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the
country． It’s hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads． But however
long it takes， the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities，
for better or for worse， depending on how the transformation is regulated．
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and
rightfully so)， policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help
reduce traffic jams，cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient， affordable mobility
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
options．The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are
environmentally friendly and more shared．
Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a
future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles．They tolerate long， slow journeys
to and from work on packed highways because they can work， entertain themselves or sleep on
the ride， which encourages urban spread． They take their driverless car to an appointment and
set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking． Instead of walking a few
blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning， they send the self-driving minibus． The
convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect
researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services．
A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered
private cars worldwide with electric， self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon
emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and
operations 40% by 2050． Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing． The first
commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services，
considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与
维护问题)． But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people
become comfortable with the technology．
Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of
driverless vehicles doesn’t extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we
have today． The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to
develop transportation systems designed to move more people， and more affordably． The car of
the future is coming． We just have to plan for it．
47．According to the author，attention should be paid to how driverless cars can _____．
A．help deal with transportation-related problems
B．provide better services to customers
C．cause damage to our environment
D．make some people lose jobs
48．As for driverless cars，what is the author’s major concern?
A．Safety．
B．Side effects．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．Affordability．
D．Management．
49．What does the underlined word ＂fielded＂ in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Employed．
B．Replaced．
C．Shared．
D．Reduced．
50．What is the author’s attitude to the future of self-driving cars?
A．Doubtful．
B．Positive．
C．Disapproving．
D．Sympathetic．

Why Do We Get Angry?
Anger seems simple when we are feeling it， but the causes of anger are various． Knowing
these causes can make us examine our behavior， and correct bad habits． The main reasons we
get angry are triggering（触发）events， personality traits（特征）， and our assessment of
situations． 51
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of
pages． However， here are some examples：being cut off in traffic， a deadline approaching，
experiencing physical pain， and much more． ____52____ The reason why someone is triggered
by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits．
Each person， no matter who they are， has psychological imbalances． People who have
personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely
to get angry． 53 Also， sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition，
but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred．
54 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger， or anger
itself． Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger．
55 However， anger can easily turn violent， and it is best to know the reasons for
anger to appear in order to prevent its presence． With these main reasons in mind， we can
evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending
the reasons for our feelings．
A．Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger．
C．Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait， and is usually advised to
reduce it．
D．Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to
feel angry．
E．Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state， where anger is in the
background of your mind．
F．Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate
ourselves with a critical eye．
G．Not everyone acts the same in response to events， and that is why what triggers one
person may or may not trigger another．

赛，也与我是否是运动型的人无关。
36．C【解析】根据第一段中的“Yet，I was determined to go ahead”可知在马拉松比赛前一
个月，虽然作者的脚踝受伤，但他依然下定决心参加比赛。故选C。根据该段中的“this
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
meant not running for two weeks，leaving me only two weeks to train”可知，作者没有充
足的时间参加训练，所以不能误选A 项。
37．C【解析】根据第二段中的“I didn't do either well．He later informed me that I was‘not
athletic’”可知，作者谈及体育课的目的是向读者表明“他没有运动天赋”。故选C。
文章主要讲述作者虽然没有运动天赋，但通过坚持不懈的努力，最终成功完成了马拉松
比赛，所以第二段的目的不是分享珍贵的记忆，不能误选D 项。
38．A【解析】根据倒数第二段中的“I was one of the final runners to finish． But I finished!”
可知，作者完成了自己的第一次马拉松比赛。make it 意为“达到预定目标，做到，获
得成功”。故选A。根据第七段中的“Despite the pain，I stayed the course walking a hit and
then running again”可知，作者并非是走到终点线的，所以不能误选D 项。
39．B【解析】 根据第一段中的“Yet，I was determined to go ahead”以及最后一段可知，
作者主要表达的内容是“成功者是一个有坚强意志的人”。故选B。文中虽然谈及了作

51．F 根据前一句“The main reasons we get angry are triggering（触发）events, personality traits
（特征），and our assessment of situations”以及下文可知，空格处的内容与生气的
主要原因有关。因此本空填F。

for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence”可知，空格处与之存在语意上的

Raynor Winn and her husband Moth became homeless due to their wrong investment． Their
savings had been 36 to pay lawyers’ fees．To make matters worse, Moth was diagnosed
（诊断）with a 37 disease．There was no 38 , only pain relief．

The Cloisters Museum and Gardens
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The Cloisters museum and gardens is a branch of The Metropolitan
Museum of Art devoted to the art and architecture of Europe in the
Middle Ages．The extensive collection consists of masterworks in
sculpture, colored glass, and precious objects from Europe dating from
about the 9th to the 15th century．
Hours: Open 7 days a week．
March—October 10:00—17:15
November—February 10:00—16:45
Closed Thanksgiving Day, December 25, and January 1．
56．How much may they pay if an 11-year-old girl and her working parents visit the museum?
A．$12．
B．$37．
C．$ 50．
D．$ 62．
57．The attraction of the Cloisters museum and gardens lies in the fact that ．
A．it opens all the year round
B．its collections date from the Middle Ages
C．it has a modern European-style garden
D．it sells excellent European glass collections
B
In the 1760s, Mathurin Roze opened a series of shops that boasted（享有）a special meat soup
called consommé．Although the main attraction was the soup, Roze’s chain shops also set a new
standard for dining out, which helped to establish Roze as the inventor of the modern restaurant．
Today,scholars have generated large amounts of instructive research about restaurants．Take
visual hints that influence what we eat：diners served themselves about 20 percent more pasta（意
大利面食）when their plates matched their food．When a dark-colored cake was served on a black
plate rather than a white one, customers recognized it as sweeter and more tasty．
Lighting matters, too．When Berlin restaurant customers ate in darkness, they couldn’t tell
how much they’d had：those given extra-large shares ate more than everyone else, but were none
the wiser—they didn’t feel fuller, and they were just as ready for dessert．
Time is money ，but that principle means different things for different types of
restaurants．Unlike fast-food places, fine dining shops prefer customers to stay longer and
spend．One way to encourage customers to stay and order that extra round：put on some Mozart(莫
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
扎特）．When classical, rather than pop, music was playing, diners spent more．Fast music hurried
diners out．Particular scents also have an effect：diners who got the scent of lavender（薰衣草）
stayed longer and spent more than those who smelled lemon, or no scent．
Meanwhile, things that you might expect to discourage spending—＂bad＂ tables, crowding,
high prices — don’t necessarily．Diners at bad tables — next to the kitchen door, say — spent
nearly as much as others but soon fled．It can be concluded that restaurant keepers need not ＂be
overly concerned about ‘bad’ tables,＂ given that they’re profitable．As for crowds, a Hong Kong
study found that they increased a restaurant’s reputation, suggesting great food at fair prices．And
doubling a buffet’s price led customers to say that its pizza was 11 percent tastier．
58．The underlined phrase ＂none the wiser＂ in paragraph 3 most probably implies that the
customers were ．
A．not aware of eating more than usual
B．not willing to share food with others
C．not conscious of the food quality
D．not fond of the food provided
59．How could a fine dining shop make more profit?
A．Playing classical music．
B．Introducing lemon scent．
C．Making the light brighter．
D．Using plates of larger size．
60．What does the last paragraph talk about?
A．Tips to attract more customers．
B．Problems restaurants are faced with．
C．Ways to improve restaurants’ reputation．
D．Common misunderstandings about restaurants．
C
If you want to disturb the car industry, you’d better have a few billion dollars：Mom-and-pop
carmakers are unlikely to beat the biggest car companies．But in agriculture, small farmers can get
the best of the major players．By connecting directly with customers, and by responding quickly to
changes in the markets as well as in the ecosystems(生态系统), small farmers can keep one step
ahead of the big guys．As the co-founder of the National Young Farmers Coalition (NYFC, 美国
青年农会）and a family farmer myself, I have a front-row seat to the innovations among small
farmers that are transforming the industry．
For example, take the Quick Cut Greens Harvester, a tool developed just a couple of years
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
ago by a young farmer, Jonathan Dysinger, in Tennessee, with a small loan from a local Slow
Money group．It enables small-scale farmers to harvest 175 pounds of green vegetables per hour
—a huge improvement over harvesting just a few dozen pounds by hand—suddenly making it
possible for the little guys to compete with large farms of California．Before the tool came out,
small farmers couldn’t touch the price per pound offered by California farms．But now, with the
combination of a better price point and a generally fresher product, they can stay in business．
The sustainable success of small farmers, though, won’t happen without fundamental
changes to the industry．One crucial factor is secure access to land．Competition from
investors．developers, and established large farmers makes owning one’s own land unattainable for
many new farmers．From 2004 to 2013, agricultural land values doubled, and they continue to rise
in many regions．
Another challenge for more than a million of the most qualified farm workers and managers
is a non-existent path to citizenship — the greatest barrier to building a farm of their own．With
farmers over the age of 65 outnumbering（多于） farmers younger than 35 by six to one, and with
two-thirds of the nation’s farmland in need of a new farmer, we must clear the path for talented
people willing to grow the nation’s food．
There are solutions that could light a path toward a more sustainable and fair farm economy,
but farmers can’t clumsily put them together before us．We at the NYFC need broad support as we
urge Congress to increase farmland conservation, as we push for immigration reform, and as we
seek policies that will ensure the success of a diverse and ambitious next generation of farms from
all backgrounds．With a new farm bill to be debated in Congress, consumers must take a stand
with young farmers．
61．The author mentions car industry at the beginning of the passage to introduce ．
A．the progress made in car industry
B．a special feature of agriculture
C．a trend of development in agriculture
D．the importance of investing in car industry
62．What does the author want to illustrate with the example in paragraph 2?
A．Loans to small local farmers are necessary．
B．Technology is vital for agricultural development．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．Competition between small and big farms is fierce．
D．Small farmers may gain some advantages over big ones．
63．What is the difficulty for those new famers?
A．To gain more financial aid．
B．To hire good farm managers．
C．To have farms of their own．
D．To win old farmers’ support．
64．What should farmers do for a more sustainable and fair farm economy?
A．Seek support beyond NYFC．
B．Expand farmland conservation．
C．Become members of NYFC． D．Invest more to improve technology．

Children as young as ten are becoming dependent on social media for their sense of
self-worth, a major study warned．
It found many youngsters（少年）now measure their status by how much public approval they
get online, often through ＂likes＂． Some change their behaviour in real life to improve their
image on the web．
The report into youngsters aged from 8 to 12 was carried out by Children’s Commissioner
(专员）Anne Longfield． She said social media firms were exposing children to major emotional
risks, with some youngsters starting secondary school ill-equipped to cope with the tremendous
pressure they faced online．
Some social apps were popular among the children even though they supposedly require
users to be at least 13 ．The youngsters admitted planning trips around potential
photo-opportunities and then messaging friends — and friends of friends — to demand ＂likes＂
for their online posts．
The report found that youngsters felt their friendships could be at risk if they did not respond
to social media posts quickly, and around the clock．
Children aged 8 to 10 were＂starting to feel happy＂when others liked their posts．However,
those in the 10 to 12 age group were＂concerned with how many people like their posts＂,
suggesting a ＂need＂for social recognition that gets stronger the older they become．
Miss Longfield warned that a generation of children risked growing up ＂worried about their
appearance and image as a result of the unrealistic lifestyles they follow on platforms, and
increasingly anxious about switching off due to the constant demands of social media＂．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
She said：＂Children are using social media with family and friends and to play games when
they are in primary school．But what starts as fun usage of apps turns into tremendous pressure in
real social media interaction at secondary school．＂
As their world expanded, she said, children compared themselves to others online in a way
that was ＂hugely damaging in terms of their self-identity, in terms of their confidence, but also
in terms of their ability to develop themselves＂．
Miss Longfield added: ＂Then there is this push to connect—if you go offline, will you miss
something, will you miss out, will you show that you don’t care about those people you are
following, all of those come together in a huge way at once．＂
＂For children it is very, very difficult to cope with emotionally．＂ The Children’s
Commissioner for England’s study—Life in Likes—found that children as young as 8 were using
social media platforms largely for play．
However, the research—involving eight groups of 32 children aged 8 to 12 — suggested
that as they headed toward their teens, they became increasingly anxious online．
By the time they started secondary school—at age 11—children were already far more aware
of their image online and felt under huge pressure to ensure their posts were popular, the report
found．
However, they still did not know how to cope with mean-spirited jokes, or the sense of
incompetence they might feel if they compared themselves to celebrities（名人）or more brilliant
friends online．The report said they also faced pressure to respond to messages at all hours of the
day—especially at secondary school when more youngsters have mobile phones．
The Children’s Commissioner said schools and parents must now do more to prepare children
for the emotional minefield（雷区）they faced online．And she said social media companies must
also ＂take more responsibility＂．They should either monitor their websites better so that
children do not sign up too early, or they should adjust their websites to the needs of younger users．
Javed Khan, of children’s charity Barnardo’s, said: ＂It’s vital that new compulsory
age-appropriate relationship and sex education lessons in England should help equip children to
deal with the growing demands of social media．
＂It’s also hugely important for parents to know which apps their children are using．＂
65．Why did some secondary school students feel too much pressure?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．They were not provided with adequate equipment．
B．They were not well prepared for emotional risks．
C．They were required to give quick responses．
D．They were prevented from using mobile phones．
66．Some social app companies were to blame because ．
A．they didn’t adequately check their users’ registration
B．they organized photo trips to attract more youngsters
C．they encouraged youngsters to post more photos
D．they didn’t stop youngsters from staying up late
67．Children’s comparing themselves to others online may lead to ．
A．less friendliness to each other B．lower self-identity and confidence
C．an increase in online cheating D．a stronger desire to stay online
68．According to Life in Likes, as children grew, they became more anxious to ．
A．circulate their posts quickly
B．know the qualities of their posts
C．use mobile phones for play
D．get more public approval
69．What should parents do to solve the problem?
A．Communicate more with secondary schools．
B．Urge media companies to create safer apps．
C．Keep track of children’s use of social media．
D．Forbid their children from visiting the web．
70．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The influence of social media on children．
B．The importance of social media to children．
C．The problem in building a healthy relationship．
D．The measure to reduce risks from social media．

How Arts Promote Our Economy
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
When most people think of the arts, they imagine the end product, the beautiful painting, a
wonderful piece of music, or an award-winning performance in the theater． But arts groups bring
broader value to our communities． The economic impact of the arts is often overlooked and badly
judged．
The arts create jobs that help develop the economy．Any given performance takes a tour bus
full of artists, technical experts, managers, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of
art．These people earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills．
Another group of folks is needed to help market the event． ＂If you build it they will come＂
is a misleading belief． Painters, digital media experts, photographers, booking agents and
promoters are hired to sell tickets and promote the event． According to the Dallas Area Cultural
Advocacy Coalition, arts agencies employ more than 10,000 people as full-or part-time employees
or independent contractors．
A successful arts neighborhoods creates a ripple effect （连锁反应）throughout a
community．In 2005, when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location was
considered a poor area of town．After investing more than $1 million in reconstructing the
building, we began producing a full season of theater performances, jazz concerts, and year-round
arts education programs in 2008．Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city
limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District．
No doubt the theater has contributed to the area’s development and economic
growth． Today, there are galleries, studios, restaurants and newly built work spaces where
neighbors share experiences, where there is renewed life and energy．In this way, arts and culture
also serve as a public good．
TeCo Theatrical Productions Inc．made use of Bloomberg’s investment of $35,000 to get
nearly $400,000 in public and private sector support during the two-year period．Further, Dallas
arts and arts-based businesses produce $298 for every dollar the city spends on arts programming
and facilities． In Philadelphia, a metro area smaller than Dallas, the arts have an economic impact
of almost $3 million and support 44,000 jobs, 80 percent of which actually lie outside the arts
industry, including accountants, marketers, construction workers, hotel managers, printers, and
other kinds of art workers．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The arts are efficient economic drivers and when they are supported, the entire
small-business community benefits．
It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit．But in order to stay in business, arts
groups must produce returns．If you are a student studying the arts, chances are you have been
ill-advised to have a plan B．But those who truly understand the economic impact and can work to
change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities．
Arts as an
economic driver
Our communities (71) ______ from arts in terms of economy．
(72) ___ of arts’
promoting our
economy
Arts activity demands a(n) (73) ______ effort．It involves creation,
performance, and (74) ______．
◆Artists make a living through their creative work．
◆Others get paid by marketing the event．
Arts have a gradually spreading (75) ______． They could help
promote other industries whether they lie inside or outside arts．
◆Besides tickets, some jazz lovers will pay their (76)_______ to

Li Jiang 6 July, Sunny
Our family will go on a trip next month and need a suitcase. Two days ago, Mom asked
me to find relevant information on the internet. But the information I got was rich and
varied, or even contradictory. Confused, I simply based my decision on the ratings.
Within five minutes, we ordered the one we were satisfied with. This afternoon, Mom
received the case and told me she liked it very much.
Su Hua 6 July, Sunny
This morning, our family went out, hanging round in the downtown area. We found a
rating of the Top Ten Restaurants, and went into one of them. We spent quite a lot of
money, but were not happy. Mom complained a lot, and said that despite its high
ratings, the food was not to our taste. I was puzzled. Should I believe in these ratings, or
should I not?

了多少食物，即使吃多了也不会觉得饱，因为他们意识不到自己比平时吃得多。故答

put on some Mozart．．．diners spent more”可知，要想让顾客在餐馆多停留、多消

【写作思路】本篇书面表达要求考生根据两段文字材料写一篇文章，针对“消费排名”
现象论述自己的看法和观点，并阐述理由。文章为任务型读写，属于议论文，主要使用第一
和第三人称，一般现在时。写作时应注意紧扣两段材料表达的主题，不可偏题，还应注意合
理使用高级词汇和较复杂句型。
考生首先应当仔细阅读题干所提供的文字材料。通读两篇文字材料可知，第一段材料为
一对母子看了网上的评论后买回旅行箱，结果买回来的旅行箱质量很好；第二段材料为一家
人看了网评后去餐馆吃饭，结果饭菜很不好吃，从而凸显出网评的不可靠性。明确以上事实
后，再在此基础上明确文章的主题和结构，对“消费排名”现象作相关阐述。本文可分为三
段进行写作，第一段用30词左右概述材料的主要内容，提出文章主题；第二段论述对“消费
排名”现象的观点并说明理由；第三段总结全文，再次点明主题。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
在遣词造句上，应当注意合理使用连接成分，以提高文章的逻辑性，如在说明看法时可
以用to begin with, what's more, last but not least等；此外应尽量使用较复杂句型，如在总结全
文大意时可以用定语从句、分词结构；在其他地方可以用主语从句、倒装语序等。
【范文赏读】
Possible version one:
As a major channel of consumption information, the rating is an efficient source of
information for shopping in our own consumption． Interestingly, the same rating may have
different influences on different consumers．
I tend to consult consumption ratings whatever I purchase． Firstly, the higher rating means
the higher quality of the product, or better service． Based on the ratings，I bought my beloved
backpack, saw interesting films and tasted delicious foods． Secondly, ratings can save time to
make decisions in shopping． For example, there are huge amounts of reference books which I am
often confused to choose from． In that case, it is both convenient and economical to buy books
according to the ratings．
There is no doubt that it is unwise to depend completely on the ratings in consumption． The
advantages and disadvantages of ratings are often closely related． It is necessary to hold an
objective attitude towards ratings．
Possible version two:
Nowadays, most commodities or services are rated through certain channels．These ratings,
easy to access, are playing an increasingly important role in customers' purchase
decision． However, results are sometimes unsatisfactory．
There is no denying that such ratings might bring convenience to consumers，but they are
often misleading and unreliable． As we all know, most of the ratings are based on others'
judgment on the product or service concerned． Every judgment comes from a specific need or a
unique psychological state． Apparently, blindly following others' advice will affect our own
judgment． Another fact should not be neglected that some of the ratings are the outcome of a
careful manipulation of companies or sellers． It has become a common practice for some to pay
for good ratings on their products or services so as to increase their sales．
Therefore, we should give a second thought to these ratings whenever we go shopping．

and I could not understand the news on television or movies or anything like this， so I entered the
city college to take English classes for foreign students．I was very proud that I was going to a
college because no one in my family ever went to any college or to any university． You know，
when you are 15 years old in my country， you finish school and then you learn a trade．And that’s
exactly what I did． When I was 15 years old， I learned how to be a carpenter．A year later， I
came to America． Luckily， I met a very good teacher who encouraged me to take some math
classes， business classes and history classes and I became a full-time college student． And today
when I look back， I’m so happy because you never know where life will take you．All of a
sudden，I started making money， because I was really good at math．You know， how to work
out everything with math is so important．This is something that I learned when I started my own
business，which is doing really well．

When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
of a watercolorist named Marian McNay．She had requested the community to turn it into a
museum upon her death．On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum． She asked,
"Do you have the address? ""No, but I’ll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine．"
"Oh, stop． There it is!”
The museum was free． We entered, excited． A group of people sitting in the hall stopped
talking and stared at us．
"May I help you?" a man asked． "No, "I said． "We're fine．” Tour guides got on my
nerves．What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren't that interested in? Sally had
gone upstairs．The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with
curiosity． What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room． Suddenly I sensed
a man standing behind me． "Where do you think you are? " he asked． I turned sharply． "The
McNay Art Museum!" He smiled, shaking his head． "Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels
Street．" "What’s this place?” I asked, still confused． "Well, it's our home．" My heart jolted(震
颤)． I raced to the staircase and called out, "Sally! Come down immediately! "
"There's some really good stuff(艺术作品）up there．" She stepped down, looking
confused． I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, "Sorry, please forgive
us, you have a really nice place．" Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her
mouth, laughing． She couldn't believe how long they let us look around without saying anything．
The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there．Van Gogh,
Picasso．This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened．
Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place． "Excuse me, did you ever
enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum? "
"Yes． But how do you know? We never told anyone． "
"That was my home． I was a teenager sitting in the hall．Before you came over, I never
realized what a beautiful place I lived in．I never felt lucky before．You thought it was a
museum． My feelings about my home changed after that． I've always wanted to thank you．"
41．What do we know about Marian McNay?

There’s a new frontier in 3D printing that’s beginning to come into focus：food．Recent
development has made possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale．And
the industry isn’t stopping there．
Food production
With a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for
decoration on a wedding cake．Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, but a
printer makes it easy．A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to “re-create forms and pieces” of food
that are “exactly the same,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks．In another restaurant, all of the
dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed,rather than farm to table．
Sustainability(可持续性）
The global population is expected to grow to 9．6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current
levels． Sustainability is becoming a necessity． 3D food printing could probably contribute to the
solution．Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids (水解胶体) from plentiful
renewables like algae(藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients(烹饪原料)． 3D printing
can reduce fuel use and emissions．Grocery stores of the future might stock "food" that lasts years
on end, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements．
Nutrition
Future 3D food printers could make processed food healthier．Hod Lipson, a professor at
Columbia University, said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized
nutritional content, like vitamins．So instead of eating a piece of yesterday’s bread from the
supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you on demand．”
Challenges
Despite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to
overcome．Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste(糊状物) before a printer can
use them, and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interact with each
other in very complex ways．On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry
ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad．Some experts are skeptical about
3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end
restaurants．
46．What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?
A．It helps cooks to create new dishes．
B．It saves time and effort in cooking．
C．It improves the cooking conditions．
D．It contributes to restaurant decorations．
47．What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?
A．It solves food shortages easily．
B．It quickens the transportation of food．
C．It needs no space for the storage of food．
D．It uses renewable materials as sources of food．
48．According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food ________．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
A．is more available to consumers
B．can meet individual nutritional needs
C．is more tasty than food in supermarkets
D．can keep all the nutrition in raw materials
49．What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?
A．The printing process is complicated．
B．3D food printers are too expensive．
C．Food materials have to be dry．
D．Some experts doubt 3D food printing．
50．What could be the best title of the passage?
A．3D Food Printing：Delicious New Technology
B．A New Way to Improve 3D Food Printing
C．The Challenges for 3D Food Production
D．3D Food Printing：From Farm to Table
D
Give yourself a test．Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be
seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble
answering these questions．
Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults． A child’s day is filled
with fascination, newness and wonder．Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness． But distinctions
that were sharp to us as children become unclear；we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激),
new ideas．Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes
practice and requires breaking some bad habits．
The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel
before it occurs．This blocks awareness．One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky
Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream． The
students began complaining about how cold it would be．We reached the stream, and they
unwillingly walked ahead．They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot
spring．Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things． I
saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a
"ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off．They no longer paid attention to the bird and never
learned what it was doing．
The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness．I encountered
many hikers who were headed to a distant campground with just enough time to get there before
dark． It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them． I
asked them what they’d seen． "Oh, a few birds," they said．They seemed bent on their
destinations．
Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait． Next time you take a walk, no matter
where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations．Wander in this frame of mind and you
will open a new dimension to your life．
51．According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ______．
A．anxious to do wonders
B．sensitive to others’ feelings
C．likely to develop unpleasant habits
D．eager to explore the world around them
52．What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?
A．To avoid jumping to conclusions．
B．To stop complaining all the time．
C．To follow the teacher’s advice．
D．To admit mistakes honestly．
53．The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they __________．
A．are very patient in their observation
B．are really fascinated by nature
C．care only about the names of birds
D．question the accuracy of the field guides
54．Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?
A．The natural beauty isn’t attractive to them．
B．They focus on arriving at the camp in time．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C．The forest in the dark is dangerous for them．
D．They are keen to see rare birds at the destination．
55．In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________．
A．fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world
B．get rid of some bad habits in our daily life
C．open our mind to new things and ideas
D．try our best to protect nature

Some people live to climb the highest mountains．Some people live only dreaming about it
while others live to avoid ever climbing at all． But one thing is certain, all people encounter
mountains in their life．
When I was a little girl, my family moved to a tiny town at the bottom of a big
mountain． One day after school, while exploring the green woods of this magnificent mountain, I
almost fell on a set of stairs．What could these steps lead to? Curiosity got the best of me as I knew
it would be starting to get dark soon．I started climbing up those strangely mysterious steps．
I climbed and climbed．There was nothing but just green bushes and these steps．I had to
reach the top! But it was now getting real dark． If I kept going I might not be able to see my way
back．My mom would be worried sick if I didn’t come home soon．So I ran back home almost in
the dark while trying not to get too scared．
Anxiously I went to bed dreaming about what I would find at the top of this magical
mountain．Could there be a castle up there? Maybe I would find a monster(怪物)． Maybe I was
taking the risk of never coming back home．Or, maybe all I would find was absolutely nothing!
But something inside me was going to climb that mountain at all cost．I could hardly wait to try
this adventure again．
Now we live in a world surrounded by the "can’t do" attitudes． We all fall down． We all
have doubts and regrets．Still we must climb and dream about what’s at the top of our
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
mountain．Monsters may appear or the night will fall．But never ever give up on your dream!
Never let anyone tell you, "You can’t．" Dream big and climb high!
56．What made the author start to climb up the stairs to the mountain top? (no more than 5 words)
57．Why did the author hurry back home without reaching the top of the mountain? Give two
reasons． (no more than 15 words)
58．How would you describe the author in terms of personalities according to Paragraph 4? (no
more than 10 words)
59．How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (no more than 5 words)
60．What’s your attitude towards the "mountain" in your life? Please explain．(no more than 20
words)

第一部分：英语知识运用
第一节：单项填空
1．B【解析】从对话语境看，前一问句显然含有责备的语气，后面回答说“大约二十分钟
之后她就来了”。因此本空选B“别着急”。
2．C【解析】句意：凯特到澳大利亚去工作了。读大学的时候我和她的姐姐住一个寝室。
从句子结构看，本空需要关系词引导定语从句，先行词为Kate，且关系代词在从句中
作定语，因此用关系代词whose 引导这个定语从句。
3．A【解析】句意：起初罗伯特不愿意让女儿去潜水，但是最终他妥协了，因为她对自己
的技术很自信。从语境的连贯和四个动词短语的含义判断，本空选A“屈服，让步”。
4．D【解析】从句意的连贯看，空前说等到周末再摘这些桃子，空后说“它们就变得够甜
了，可以吃了”，这里应该用so that“以便”引导目的状语从句。
5．A【解析】对方提出求助，空后一句给出了肯定的回答，那么本空应该用表示肯定回答
的选项，you bet 表示“当然，的确”，符合语境。
6．C【解析】句意：宇宙中的其他行星上可能存在生命，这个可能性一直激励着科学家去
探索外层空间。根据句意可知，这里用possibility 表示“可能性”。advice“劝告”，order
“命令”，invitation“邀请”都不符合句意。
7．B【解析】从句意和句子结构看，本空在句中作宾补，动词take 与my photograph 之间是
逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用过去分词，因此选B。
8．B【解析】句意：他花了好长时间学习成为一个优秀舞蹈演员所需要的技能。根据句意，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
这里应该用acquire 表示“获得，学到”。
9．C【解析】句意：金牌将会被颁发给在自行车比赛中获得第一的任何选手。本空需要连
接词引导宾语从句，连接词在从句中作主语，指人，同时根据句意可知，应用whoever
“……的任何人，无论谁”引导这个宾语从句。
10．D【解析】根据本空所在句子的时间状语判断，此处叙述过去发生的动作；下文说“我

构，因此选D。
11．B【解析】句意：鲍勃觉得自己不能参加这个派对，因为他要写一份报告，但是最终他
还是去了。根据句意，这里用after all 表示“终究”。at first“起初”；above all“最重要

12．D【解析】从句意看，第一空所在部分用mean to do sth．表示“打算做某事”，第二空
用couldn't help doing sth．表示“忍不住做某事”，因此选D。
13．C【解析】根据“因此我不得不用手洗衣服”可知洗衣机此时“正在被维修”，应该用
现在进行时的被动语态。
14．B【解析】去掉题干的It was 和空处后，这个句子语法结构依然完整，表示“只有当汽
车停在我家房前的时候，我们才看到乘客座位上的莉莉”，因此这是一个强调句式，被
强调的是“only+状语从句”，因此选B。
15．A【解析】根据句意和句中的时间状语可知，这是一个主从条件句的虚拟语气，条件从
句中有时间状语yesterday，因此表示与过去事实相反的假设，从句中的谓语动词用过去
完成时。
第二节：完形填空
16．C 上文说谁也不是天生就是赢家，人们通过自己的努力成为胜利者，因此这里选C 表
示“努力”。
17．B 本空是对下文内容的总结，需要根据下文内容才能得出答案。下文讲述作者多年前当
足球教练的一段经历，因此选B 表示“经历”。
18．D 从下文的“Being the coach of the new team”可知，作者在这支足球队当主教练，因
此选D。
19．D 语境提到“the school-s old team”和“the coach of the new team”，因此本空选D，在
每年春季训练结束的时候，学校的老足球队都要与新足球队进行比赛。

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
for 表示“为……做准备”。
21．A 语境表示作者难以接受这样的结局，对手没有教练，没有备战，但是他们却打败了
作者当教练的这支新足球队，这让作者难以相信。故选A。
22．A 语境表示的是作者经过思考之后的认识，因此选A 表示“认识到”。
23．C 语境提到作者是这支新足球队的教练，因此选C，表示这支球队就指望作者了。
24．B 根据文中的I、change、their ability and potential 等信息词判断，这里表示作者要改变
自己对队员的能力和潜能的态度(attitude)。
25．A 面对队员的失败，作者决定要改变对队员的能力和潜能的态度，因此这里表示作者
尽一切努力帮助队员建立自尊心(pride)。
26．C 从上文可知，作者执教的足球队在比赛中输了，作者要帮助队员建立自尊心，因此
这里表示作者将队员当成胜利者来对待，因此选C。leader“领导者”；partner“合伙
人”；learner“学习者”。
27．B 前面提到春季训练比赛，这里说的是到了夏季，因此选B 表示当其他队的队员们享
受他们的假期(vacations)时。
28．D 与其他足球队不同的是，到了暑假，作者执教的足球队每天都要集合，然后训练
(practiced)传球和踢球，因此选D。
29．A 这里说的是上文提到的在春季训练结束时作者执教的新足球队与老足球队比赛时输
了这件事，因此选A 表示“失败”。
30．B 语境说作者执教的这支足球队赢得一场接一场的比赛，球技在不断提高，因此选B
表示“改进”。relax“放松，松懈”，expand“扩大，扩展”，defend“保卫”，都不符
合语境。
31．C 作者带领这支曾经在春季训练比赛中输了的足球队，一路披荆斩棘，最后要与全州
最好的足球队比赛。因此此处表示即使他们输掉了这场比赛，对于他们来说也是一种

看作失败者，而是不断地鼓励(encouraged)他们。
35．D 从上文可知，作者执教的足球队在春季训练比赛中输了，但作者帮助队员建立自尊
心，鼓励他们，并把他们当成胜利者来对待，即帮助他们从不同的角度来看待自己，
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
因此选D 表示“不一样地”。
第二部分：阅读理解
A
36．C【解析】第一节说到大学配备的这些全日制火灾消防人员的职责：检查校园楼栋、检
测并维护各种消防装置、在宿舍区提供消防安全教育活动。从这些信息我们可以判断，
C 项是他们的日常工作。A 项“给学生提供兼职工作”在文中没有提到；B 项属于曲解
文意。第一节最后一句说的是“无论何时你来到一个陌生的区域，你应该确定火警报警
器的位置以及离你的房间最近的两个出口”，B 项与文章内容不符；D 项属于张冠李戴。
文章说的是提供消防安全教育活动，而不是培训老师成为消防专业人员。
37．B【解析】根据题干中的“the automatic fire alarm systems”我们把答案定位在第二节Fire
Alarms 部分。该节内容说，火警自动报警系统包括温度探测器、烟雾探测器和自动喷
水灭火装置(heat detectors，smoke detectors and sprinklers)，故B 项符合本节内容，因此
选B。A、C、D 项都是移花接木的拼凑选项。pipes 和fire alarm pull stations 是手动火
警报警器的组成部分，而不是火警自动报警系统的组成部分。
38．C【解析】根据题干我们把答案定位在第三节部分。该节内容说，在消防演习中，学生
应该带上房间钥匙、身份证，锁好房门，从最近的紧急出口疏散，不能坐电梯，在宿舍
楼外与同学们会合，等待进一步的指令，从这些信息我们可以判断选C。A 项与文中的
“do not use a lift”不符；文章说的是从紧急出口疏散到宿舍楼外面再等待指令，B 项
与之不符；文章说的是在宿舍楼外等待而不是在大楼内等待指令，故D 项不正确。
39．A【解析】根据题干中的“灭火器的使用”，我们把答案定位在第四节。根据第四节中
的“Misuse of a fire extinguisher will result in fines”可知，灭火器使用不当会被罚款。B、
C 项属于曲解文意：该节说灭火器使用不当会危害其他居住者(create a dangerous
situation for other residents)和损坏个人财产(damage to personal property)；文章没有提到
必须有培训师在场才能使用灭火器，因此D 项属于主观臆断。
40．D【解析】根据题干信息我们把答案定位在最后一节。该节说，如果烟雾探测器的红灯
亮了，表明烟雾探测器运转正常；如果红灯不闪了就要联系楼管员；在任何情况下不要
覆盖或者堵塞烟雾探测器；如果烟雾探测器在没有火和烟雾的情况下响了，就要通知楼
管员。从这些信息我们可以判断选D。A 项“经常联系楼管员”属曲解文意；B 项“覆
盖易燃物品”和C 项“发生火灾时打开烟雾探测器”在文中没有提到。
B
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
41．A【解析】第一段说，McNay 是水彩画家(watercolorist)，她要求社区在她死后把她曾经
居住的地方改成博物馆，由此判断她是个画家。
42．D【解析】根据题干信息，我们把答案定位在第四段。作者和朋友来到这个博物馆，然
后有人询问是否需要帮助的时候，作者说导游让她紧张，从这些信息判断，作者误以为
这个人是导游，因此选D。文章提到A 项，但这不是让作者拒绝帮助的原因；文章没
有提到作者与陌生人交流的时候觉得紧张，故B 项不正确；C 项属主观臆断，文章没
有提到该信息。
43．A【解析】根据题干的“被大厅里的人盯着看”判断，本题答案在，第四段。该段说，
当作者发现大厅里的人似乎都喜欢窥探，都好奇地盯着自己的时候，心想，“他们这是
怎么了”(What was their problem)。从这些信息推断选A，作者对此十分困惑。
44．D【解析】第六段说作者和朋友来到真正的McNay 博物馆，但是她们一直觉得紧张，
害怕又出现先前那种不同寻常的事。由此推断，她们一直想着先前误闯他人的家的事，
因此选D。A 项不对，该段说这里有梵高、毕加索等名家的画作；B 项不对，该段没有
说作者在这里停留的时间很短，只说自己在那里的时候一直很紧张；C 项不对，文章没
有说这个地方让作者很失望。
45．C【解析】最后一段这个女士告诉作者，30 年前自己还是一个十几岁的青少年，在作者
误闯她家之前，自己从来不知道自己的家有多美丽，由此推断选C，“人们往往对自己
身边的美丽视而不见”。A 项很有干扰性。文中的女士说当年的自己从来没有觉得自己
家有多美，并非对生活没有品味，因此A 不对；B 项“人们应该多与家人在一起”也
不是这个故事要传达的信息；D 项无中生有。
C
译文：目前，大多数原料必须被处理成糊状物，然后3D 食品打印机才能打印它们，而
且打印的过程很耗时，因为这些原料相互作用的方式很复杂。
46．B【解析】根据题干中的food production 可定位到第二段。这一段说，有了3D 打印机，
厨师就能打印出复杂的巧克力雕塑等，做到这样的事需要多年的经验，而3D 打印机很
容易做到这一点；一些餐馆使用这种技术能将厨师解放出来去完成其他工作。由此推断，
3D 打印机能节省厨师的很多时间和努力，因此选B。A 项犯了理解错误，文章只说厨
师能被解放出来完成其他工作(to complete other tasks)，没有说3D 打印机能帮助厨师创
造新的菜肴；C 项属于空穴来风，文章没有提到3D 打印机能改善烹饪环境；D 项属于
移花接木，文章说3D 打印机能为婚礼蛋糕打印出漂亮的饰品，而不是有助于装饰餐馆。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
47．D【解析】第三段谈到3D 打印机打印食物的可持续性发展，说它能解决食物可持续发
展的问题，因为它可以使用可再生的藻类和草中的水解胶体来代替目前的烹饪原料。由
此可推知，3D 打印机使用可再生的原料作为食物来源，因此选D。本段提到3D 食物
打印或许有助于解决食物的可持续发展问题，因此A 项不对；本段没有提到B 项“加
快食品的运输”和C 项“不需要储存食物的空间”。
48．B【解析】第四段提到，3D 食物打印能让消费者按照自己的需求来打印含有定制的
(customized)营养成分的食物。因此3D 打印的食物能满足个人的营养需求。
49．C【解析】根据题干可知本题的答案应在文章最后一段。该段谈到3D 食物打印面对的
挑战，其中最主要的问题是，打印机只能处理干燥的原料，因为肉类产品和奶类产品很
容易变质。由此可知选C。最后一段谈到3D 打印机打印食物的过程很费时间，但这不
是阻止3D 打印机打印食物的主要原因，因此A 项错误；该段没有提及3D 食物打印机
价格昂贵，故B 项错误；有些专家对3D 食物打印机持怀疑态度，认为它们更适合快餐
业，与题干不符，因此D 项错误。
50．A【解析】本文介绍了3D 食物打印机的相关信息，谈到其发展现状，它使用的原料有
利于食物的可持续发展，人们可以根据自己的营养需求来私人定制食物，但是其发展也
受到某些限制。因此本文的标题应该选A 项“3D 食物打印：美味的新技术”。本文没
有提到B 项“改善3D 食物打印的新办法”，C 项是本文的一部分内容，D 项的“3D 食
物打印：从农场走向餐桌”不符合文章的内容。
D
51．D【解析】第二段说小时候的我们比成年后的我们更多地去观察，孩子的一天充满魅力、
新奇和奇妙之处。本段中的“newness and wonder”以及“Curiosity”都与D 项的“渴
望探索他们周围的世界”相吻合，因此选D。
52．A【解析】根据第三段的内容尤其是“stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before
it occurs”可知，在事情发生之前，我们不要进行预测，故A 项“不要匆忙下结论”符
合语境。
53．C【解析】根据题干中的bird watchers' behavior 可以把答案定位在第四段。该段开头提
出我们总是热衷于给事物取名字，这阻碍了我们对外界的认识。然后以观鸟人的行为为
例，说这些人一看到一只鸟，就立即查找其名字并确认，然后就不再关注这只鸟，也不
去了解它在做什么了。由此可知观鸟人只在意鸟的名字，因此选C。
54．B【解析】根据题干中的hikers 可知本题的答案在第五段。该段说这些远足者在有限的
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
时间里直奔遥远的营地，他们没有在周围逛一逛，看看周边的景色的想法。本段的最后
一句“They seemed bent on their destinations”亦表明远足者不关注周边的环境的原因是
他们似乎一心想着在天黑之前赶到目的地。故选B。
55．A【解析】本文作者拿成年的我们与儿时的我们进行对比，然后告诉我们，我们应该学
会让自己去感受大千世界的各种美妙与奇迹，而不是忙于预测未发生的事，不是忙于赶
往目的地，要学会感受和观察大自然，因此A 项正确。
第三部分：写作
第一节：阅读表达
56．Curiosity made her do so.
Or：The desire to explore.
【解析】第二段说，作者有一天放学后在山间树林里探索的时候，差点跌落在一组阶梯
上，然后“Curiosity got the best of me”，这就是作者想攀登台阶到达山顶的原因。
57．Because it was getting dark，and she didn't want her mother to worry about her.
Or：Because she was scared，and might not be able to find her/the way back home.
【解析】第三段说，作者登山的过程中，天越来越黑，此时作者担心自己会找不到回家
的路，而且妈妈也会担心。注意只需给出两条理由就够了。
58．She had rich imagination and she was brave.
Or：She was a brave and determined girl with rich imagination.
Or：She was imaginative and determined, and she dared to explore.
Or：She was imaginative, adventurous and determined.
【解析】第四段说，作者躺在床上，想象了很多山顶会有的东西，但是作者内心深处想
不惜一切代价再去爬山。由此可知，她的个性特点有：(1)有想象力；(2)勇敢，有冒险
精神，敢于探险；(3)有坚定的意志力。
59．We all sometimes fail.
Or：We face failure/defeat/hardships/challenges in life.
Or：There are difficulties/barriers/obstacles in life.
Or：We run into trouble sometimes.
Or：We have trouble in life.
【解析】根据上下文可知，我们生活在一个被“不能做”态度包围的世界，我们都会有疑
惑和遗憾，但是我们还是必须攀登。由此可知，画线部分表达我们都会失败。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
60．I will try to reach my goal because I want to live an exciting life.
Or：I will try to reach/get to the top of the “mountain” because I want to be successful in life.
【解析】本题询问我们读者对于自己人生中的那座山是什么态度，这里应该结合文中的
勇敢、坚持、决心等信息去表达。
第二节：书面表达
【写作思路】
本篇书面表达为应用文，要求写一封电子邮件，邮件的开头和结尾已给出，主要考查考
生的英语书面表达能力。从汉语提示看，我们只需要按提示展开叙述即可，但是在叙述中要
注意句式结构的表达无误，然后才是使用较多的复杂句式。用三段式的篇章结构展开叙述：
第一段介绍比赛的时间和地点；第二段发出邀请并说明邀请的原因，以及自己拟定的训练计
划，希望得到他的建议；最后一段表达期待回复的心情。
【范文赏读】
Dear Chris，

A
Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby． He finds old military（军队的）medals for sale in
antique stores and on the Internet． But unlike most collectors, Zac tracks down the medals’
rightful owners, and returns them．
His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his mother, a
Purple Heart with the name Corrado A． G． Piccoli, found in an antique shop． Zac knows the
meaning of a Purple Heart—he earned one himself in a war as a soldier． So when his mother
gave him the medal, he knew right away what he had to do．
Through the Internet, Zac tracked down Corrado’s sister Adeline Rockko． But when he
finally reached her, the woman flooded him with questions: "Who are you？What antique shop？
" However, when she hung up, she regretted the way she had handled the call． So she called Zac
back and apologized． Soon she drove to meet Zac in Watertown, N．Y． "At that point, I knew
she meant business, " Zac says． "To drive eight hours to come to see me．"
The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown． Corrado, a translator
for the Army during WWII, was killed in action in Europe．
Before hearing from Zac, Adeline hadn’t realized the medal was missing． Like many
military medals, the one Zac’s mother had found was a family treasure．" This medal was very
precious to my parents． Only on special occasions（场合）would they take it out and let us hold
it in our hands," Adeline says．
As a child, Adeline couldn't understand why the medal was so significant． “But as I grew
older,” Adeline says, "and missed my brother more and more, I realized that was the only thing we
had left．" Corrado Piccoli’s Purple Heart medal now hangs at the Italian American Civic
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Association in Watertown．

Money with no strings attached． It’s not something you see every day． But at Union
Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a
sign that read, "Give What You Can, Take What You Need．"
People quickly caught on． And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash
to the board． “People of all ages, races, and socio-economic（社会经济的）backgrounds gave and
took, ”said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project． "We even had a bride in her
wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars．" Most of the bills on the board were
singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties． The video clip（片段）shows one man
who had found a $ 20 bill pinning it to the board．
“What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of smiles,” Bridges
said． “There’s a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that
gave the most．" Most people who took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small
number took as much as they could．
While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to
show generosity and sympathy． He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar
projects and post their own videos on the Internet．
“After all, everyone has bad days and good days," he said． “Some days you need a helping
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand．”
24． What does the expression "money with no strings attached" in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Money spent without hesitation．
B．Money not legally made．
C．Money offered without conditions．
D．Money not tied together．
25．What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride?
A．Women tended to be more sociable．
B．The activity attracted various people．
C．Economic problems were getting worse．
D．Young couples needed financial assistance．
26．Why did Bridges carry out the project?
A．To do a test on people’s morals．
B．To raise money for his company．
C．To earn himself a good reputation．
D．To promote kindness and sympathy．
C
California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published
Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor（因素）．
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46,
000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds． No area was spared or unaffected,
from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los
Angeles． In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent;
in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent．
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead
author of the study． Woodcutters targeted big trees． Housing development pushed into the
woods． Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that
compete with big trees for resources（资源）．
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one
between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees
that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development．
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water
shortage． The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account
such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt（融雪）．
Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have
been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt,
which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season．
27．What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The seriousness of big-tree loss in California．
B．The increasing variety of California big trees．
C．The distribution of big trees in California forests．
D．The influence of farming on big trees in California．
28．Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A．Ecological studies of forests．
B．Banning woodcutting．
C．Limiting housing development．
D．Fire control measures．
29．What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?
A．Inadequate snowmelt．
B．A longer dry season．
C．A warmer climate．
D．Dampness of the air．
30．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?
B．Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C．Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?
D．Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California

Rock music consists of many different styles． Even though there is a common spirit among
all music groups, they make very different music． 31 At that time the Beatles entered the
world of music from Liverpool．
After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became
famous in Britain with nationwide tours． By mid-1963, the Beatles had been extremely popular
in England． 32 They held large concerts and performed at clubs． They became the
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
hottest thing on the pop music scene in England． They began as a modestly successful musician
group and ended the year as show business legends（传说）． John Lennon and Paul McCartney
were named composers of the year．
33 They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of
music． Beatlemania hit New York on February 7, 1964． Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to
greet them． 34 The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night
audience in the history of television up to that time． The Beatles were described as a British
invasion（入侵）by local and nationwide newspapers at that time． Their victory in America was
still remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll． Thanks to the Beatles, a
lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market． 35
A．They decided on a tour to the United States in 1964．

food． The three-month, 1, 900-mile journey from Paris to Warsaw is Dubanchet’s 39 of
raising awareness of food waste in Europe and throughout the world．
As you can 40 , the trip is no piece of cake． While restaurants 41 tons of
food each year, much of it remains inaccessible because of 42 garbage containers, health
regulations, or business policies． Only about one in ten places 43 him food that would

otherwise be discarded． For legal 44 , most restaurants have a policy against 45
food waste． "Some people have even 46 their jobs by giving me food," Dubanchet said．
What's 47 interesting is the attitude various cities have toward Dubanchet’s
cause． Berlin has been the 48 while the most difficult was the Czech town of Pilsen． There,
he had to 49 at some 50 different stores or restaurants before finding food． The 50 is
all the more serious when you consider the 51 exercise required to bike from France to
Poland．
"I have to get food 52 because after all the biking I am tired and I need the

Parents everywhere praise their kids． Jenn Berman, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising
Happy and Confident Kids, says, "We've gone to the opposite extreme of a few decades ago when
parents tended to be more strict．" By giving kids a lot of praise, parents think they're building
their children's confidence, when, in fact, it may be just the opposite． Too much praise can
backfire and, when given in a way that's insincere, make kids afraid to try new things or take a risk
for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parents' praise has put them．
Still, don't go too far in the other direction． Not giving enough praise can be just as
damaging gas giving too much． Kids will feel like they're not good enough or that you don't care
and, as a result, may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments．
So what is the right amount of praise? Experts say that the quality of praise is more
important than the quantity． If praise is sincere and focused on the effort not the outcome, you
can give it as often as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward．" We should
especially recognize our children's efforts to push themselves and work hard to achieve a goal,
"says Donahue, author of Parenting Without Fear: Letting Go of Worry and Focusing on What
Really Matters． "One thing to remember is that it's the process not the end product that matters．"
Your son may not be the best basketball player on his team． But if he's out there every day
and playing hard, you should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or
loses． Praising the effort and not the outcome can also mean recognizing your child when she has
worked hard to clean the yard, cook dinner, or finish a book report． But whatever it is, praise
should be given on a case-by-case basis and be proportionate(相称的)to the amount of effort your
child has put into it．

处也应用一般过去时，故填improved。
63．to wear 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处为不定式作want 的宾语，故用to wear。
64．connection/connections 考查名词。根据no 可知，要用connect 的名词形式，connection
表示“聩系，关联”，为可数名词，故填connection/ Connection so
65．traditional 考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，空处作are 的表语，所以需要用tradition
的形容词形式traditional，表示“传统的”。

＂Grandpa＂．
Tina Stern 17 rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant

Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur（创业者）, who in May
2015 set up her business AilieCandy． By the time she was 13, her
company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a
super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying
them．
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad． On the outing, she was offered a candy
bar． However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth． But Moore was
sick of missing out on candies． So she desired to get round the warning, "Why can’t I make a
healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?" With that in mind,
Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company． He recommended that she do
some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain．
With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting
trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly． She also approached dentists to learn
more about teeth cleaning． Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using
natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria．
Moore then used her savings to get her business of the ground． Afterwards, she and her
father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell
Moore’s product—CanCandy．
As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur． Moore
is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might
bring． She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile．
Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage
life． Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven primarily by
profit． Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles． She donates 10% of
AilieCandy’s profits to Big Smiles． With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky
could be the limit for Alice Moore．
34．How did Moore react to her dad’s warning?
A．She argued with him．
B．She tried to find a way out．
C．She paid no attention．
D．She chose to consult dentists．
35．What is special about CanCandy?
【斐然英语十年真题系列】

36．What does Moore expect from her business?

C．To make herself stand out．

37．What can we learn from Alice Moore’s story?

D．Success means getting personal desires satisfied．

The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls
from numbers they don’t know． By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams（欺
诈）． We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a
group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting
through． Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late． By the time these ＂solutions"（解决方案）
become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means． In the near future, it’s
not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt． Soon you will also
question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real．
That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation ( 处理 ) and automation
technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use． At this year’s I/O
Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing
human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without
detection．
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much
worse． The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision． A
decade of data breaches（数据侵入）of personal information has led to a situation where scammers
can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more． Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to
carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people． This means, for example, that a
scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into "confirming" your address, mother’s name,
and card number． Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit． A lot of
business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing
relationships． Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually．
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks． Phone carriers and
consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is
real． That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing
when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards
data-based communications — using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your
identity．
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from
here on out．
38．How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?
A．Panicked． B．Confused． C．Embarrassed． D．Disappointed．
39．Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammers can ___________．
A．aim at victims precisely
B．damage databases easily
C．start campaigns rapidly
D．spread information widely
40．What does the passage imply?
A．Honesty is the best policy．
B．Technologies can be double-edged．
C．There are more solutions than problems．
D．Credibility holds the key to development．
41．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted
B．Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls
C．Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous
D．How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology

By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks
to a warming climate, according to a new study．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms（海洋微生物）called
phytoplankton． Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create
colourful patterns at the ocean surface． Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the
type and concentration of phytoplankton． Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton
in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance．
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）into the
ocean while giving off oxygen． When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean,
an important process that helps to regulate the global climate． But phytoplankton are vulnerable
to the ocean’s warming trend． Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect
phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also
nutrients．
Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate
model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century． In a world that warms up by
3℃, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur． The model projects
that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer． But in some waters,
such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these
areas will turn greener． ＂Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing,＂
she said, ＂but the type of phytoplankton is changing． ＂
And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web． If certain kinds
begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, ＂it will change the type of fish that will be
able to survive．＂ Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain．
Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too
gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes． ＂It’ll be a while before we
can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change,＂ Dutkiewicz
said, ＂but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we
really have changed our planet．＂
42．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?
A．The various patterns at the ocean surface．
B．The cause of the changes in ocean colour．
C．The way light reflects off marine organisms．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
D．The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton．
43．What does the underlined word＂vulnerable＂in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Sensitive．
B．Beneficial．
C．Significant．
D．Unnoticeable．
44．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem．
B．Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes．
C．Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate．
D．Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener．
45．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes．
B．To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain．
C．To explain the effects of climate change on oceans．
D．To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton．

Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished（完成）in teams．Most people believe the
best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals． 46
Companies spend millions hiring top business people． Is their money well spent?
47 They focused on football, basketball and baseball． The results are mixed． For
football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the
point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the team’s performance begins to
decline． Interestingly, this trend isn’t evident in baseball, where additional individual talent keeps
improving the team’s performance．
To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good
performance by a team requires its members to coordinate（协调）their actions． 48 In
baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates． They conclude
that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much
talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task
interdependence is lower． If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point

total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting
the team’s performance．Young children learning to play team sports are often told, ＂There is no
I in TEAM．＂ 49
Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make
less effort． Just as in a game of tug-of-war（拔河比赛）, whenever a person is added, everyone
else pulls the rope with less force．
50 ． An A-team may require a balance—not just A players, but a few generous B
players as well．

31–35 CDDBA 36–40 BCDAB 41–45 CBADC 46–50 BEGDF
第一部分：知识运用
第一节 语法填空
A
【文章大意】本文是记叙文。文中讲述有关作者的人生感悟。
1．voiced 【解析】我对母亲说了我最大的担忧：”我该怎样交朋友呢？”短文讲述一年级
第一天发生的事，所以此处用一般过去时。
2．facing 【解析】很快，我就会毕业，然后成为真实世界中的一员。面临挑战，焦虑不安
时，我知道我会轻声告诉自己：做你自己。根据句意以及句子结构可知，空处为非
谓语动词作状语；非谓语动词的逻辑主语是句子的主语I，动词face 与I 之间为逻
辑上的主谓关系，所以用现在分词作状语。
3．myself 【解析】根据句意以及句子结构可知，空处用反身代词作介词to 的宾语。whisper
to myself“轻声告诉自己”。
B
【文章大意】本文为说明文。文中介绍与地球日相关的信息并建议我们参与地球日的各
种活动。无论你喜欢做什么，总有一种方式可以让你参与地球日的各种活动。你可以种一棵
树，用当地种植的蔬菜做一顿饭，或者省电——这些可能性是无限的。
4．marked 【解析】地球日在4 月22 日，是一项旨在提高公众环保意识的年度活动。根据
句意以及句子结构可知，空处为非谓语动词作定语；动词mark 与Earth Day 之间
是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词短语作定语。
5．in 【解析】1970 年第一次庆祝该节日，现在地球日包括了190 多个国家和地区的活动。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
in 表示”在（某月、某年、某季节等）”。
6．activities 【解析】无论你喜欢做什么，总有一种方式可以让你参与地球日的各种活动。
根据句意、句子结构以及句中的关键词various 可知，空处用复数名词activities 表
泛指。
C
【文章大意】本文为议论文。文中指出大学生在大学里的表现比就读于哪所大学更重要。
7．suggests/suggested/has suggested 【解析】你就读的大学的名字真的很重要吗？关于这
个问题的研究表明，对于大多数学生来说，答案是否定的。根据句意以及上下文可
知，空处可以用一般现在时表示客观情况，也可以用一般过去时表示过去的研究发
现，还可以用现在完成时表示过去的动作对现在的影响。
8．where 【解析】学生在大学里做什么似乎比他们去哪里上大学更重要。根据句意以及句
子结构可知，此处用where 引导宾语从句。
9．who/that 【解析】从大学受益最多的学生是那些完全投入到学术生活中，并充分利用
大学的机会和资源的学生。根据句意以及句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，其先
行词为those，先行词指人，空处在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词who 或that 引
导定语从句。
10．meaningful 【解析】在考虑上哪所大学之前，学生应该对大学有一个正确的态度，为
—个健康和有意义的大学体验做必要的准备永远不会太早。根据句意以及句子结构
可知，此处用形容词作定语修饰名词college experience。第二节完形填空体裁：记
叙文题材：生活故事主题：七旬老人坚持八年免费接送贫困学生上学
第二节 完形填空
【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文，故事的主人公——一位76 岁的老人——八年来不论刮
风下雨，不管路途远近，一直坚持免费接送街坊贫困家庭的大学生到校上课和放学回家，孩
子们视他为楷模。
11．C 文章开头说，威尔逊总在努力确保自己街坊那些低收人家庭的大学生能按时赶到自
己的课堂，因此这里用offering 表示“主动提供，愿意给”。offer a free ride to sb．表
示“让某人免费乘车”。
12．D 语境说威尔逊总让街坊的大学生免费乘车去上学，因此这里不是说他把自己的车捐
献给那些学生，借给学生，或者把车递送给学生，故选D 项。volunteer sth．表示“自
愿地或无偿地给予或提供某物”。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
13．B 语境表示在过去的八年时间，威尔逊就这样开车行驶了64 000 英里的路程。cover
表示“行走（一段路程）”。
14．D 语境说的是威尔逊在开车接送这些学生的路途中与学生进行的愉快幽默的交谈
(conversations)，而不是争论、采访、谈判，因此选D。
15．B 这里说的是威尔逊开车接送的那些学生后来的情况。drive 表示“开车送”。
16．A 从语境的连贯看，此处表示这些大学生视威尔逊为楷模和朋友，甚至(even)亲切地
叫他“爷爷”。
17．B 这里讲述其中一名免费乘车的学生，因此用received 表示“得到”，而不是赚取、
评价、要求乘车。
18．A 这里用free transportation 指威尔逊免费送贫困大学生上下学的行为，因此A 项“交
通”符合语境。
19．B 这里说的是，坐上威尔逊的车，这些学生不会陷入尴尬的沉默或者戴上耳机不与他
人交流，用awkward 来形容“沉默”，表示“令人尴尬的”。forced“被强迫的”，ridiculous
“荒谬可笑的”，suspicious“可疑的”，都不符合语境。
20．D 下文说，“下次你跟他一起坐车的时候，他还会……那些事情”，由此判断这里说的
是威尔逊在询问街坊的这些大学生一些问题的时候，还记得他们的回答，由此选D。
21．C 前文提到学生坐他的车时他与学生之间的问和答，这里说下次乘车的时候，威尔逊
还会核实那些事情，用check on 表示“核实，检查”。act on“按照……行事”，settle
on“选定”，agree on“就……达成一致意见”，都不符合语境。
22．D 最初威尔逊参与一个支援学生的慈善活动(a student-support programme)，因此这里
用programme 表示“活动”。
23．C 这里说威尔逊经常做得更多，因此用go beyond 表示他不仅仅做分内之事。
24．A 用assist 表示“帮助”与前面的“有问题”呼应：当学生在报名注册方面遇到问题
的时候，他就会去帮助他们。
25．D 从语境的连贯看，这里用hesitates 表示“犹豫”：乘车的学生坐车时间太长，饿了，
他就会毫不犹豫地给学生买来饭菜。
26．C 语境表示有了威尔逊的这些帮助，这些贫困大学生才能读完大学，因此用necessary
表示“必要的，必不可少的”。
27．A 这里说这些大学生乘客的情况：他们或者家里没车，或者自己的父母每周上班6 天，
离不开车，这种情况下他们就要和父母共用( share)一辆车，因此选A。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
28．B 这里表示威尔逊开车接送这些学生，学生才得以完成自己的大学教育，用allowed
表示“允许”。
29．A 这里讲的是威尔逊自己也从开车接送这些学生的经历中获益。
30．C 威尔逊在这里说，能够成为这些大学生生活中的一部分，了解他们，这是一种荣幸，
因此用privilege 表示“荣幸，幸运”。
第二部分：阅读理解
第一节
A
体裁：应用文 题材：社会生活 主题：GDA 发布的志愿者招募公告
【文章大意】这是一篇广告应用文。GDA 发布公告招募志愿者管理人，文中介绍了该
岗位的工作内容和该组织暑期的活动项目等。
31．C【解析】根据题干中的volunteer managers 可知，我们可在文章第二段找到相关信息，
该段说该组织招募25 到75 岁的志愿者管理人，并且他们对项目的安全高效实施而言很
重要，故C 项是志愿者管理人需要做的事。本文没有谈到A 项“寻找当地的合作伙伴”，
只说要帮助保护当地有价值的文化；B 项“招募年轻志愿者”，D 项“培养文化意识”
都不是volunteer managers 的工作要求。
32．D【解析】本题问的是“在八月份开班的活动”，根据文章提到的为期四周和为期七周
的活动安排表可知，只有最后一项为期四周的活动是在八月开班，地点是南非，因此选
D。
33．D【解析】题干问的是GDA 项目的共同目标，我们可在时间表下面的一段中找到解题
信息。结合该段中的“where our help is needed． All our projects aim to promote the
development of poor and remote communities”可知，D 项符合题意。
B
体裁：记叙文 题材：人物故事 主题：一种保护牙齿的糖
【文章大意】少女Alice Moore 因为父亲提醒她吃甜食对牙齿不好，从而想到发明一种
健康的糖。之后，通过努力，她成功地开办了自己的糖果公司，并将获得的部分利润用来做
慈善。
34．B【解析】根据题干我们把答案定位在第二段。根据该段内容可知，Moore 听到爸爸的
提醒之后就想：“为什么我不能制造出一种对牙齿有益的糖果以便我的父母不对它说不
呢？”即她想找一个方法解决这个问题。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
35．A【解析】根据第三段的内容可知，Moore 用两年时间在线研究、做试验、咨询牙医，
终于成功地生产出一种只使用天然的增甜剂( only using natural sweeteners)，且能够减少
口腔细菌的糖果，这与A 项“它对牙齿健康有益”吻合。文章中说CanCandy 使用天然
的增甜剂，故B 项错误；C 项文中未提及；文章提到她的研究、试验和咨询牙医的过
程，由此可知D 项错误。
36．B【解析】根据题干中的“expect from her business”我们把答案定位在最后一段，该段
谈到Moore 想用自己独特的天赋帮助别人找到微笑( to help others find their smiles)，因
此选B。
37．C【解析】通读全文可知，Moore 在父亲提醒她吃甜食对牙齿不好后，就积极地思考并
行动，成功地制造出了一种不伤牙的糖，由此可推知C 项正确。
C
体裁：议论文 题材：信息安全 主题：解决通信安全问题
【文章大意】随着科技的发展，诈骗手段越来越多样，自动语音电话给人们带来了危害。
38．D【解析】根据第一段中的“By the time these‘solutions’
（解决方案）become widely available,
scammers will have moved onto cleverer means”可知，筹到这些“解决方案”被广泛使
用时，不法分子就会转向更聪明的手段；由此可推知作者对自动语音电话问题的解决方
案感到很失望，D 项意为“失望的”，故D 项正确。
39．A【解析】根据第三段中的“The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with
amount than precision”可知，自动语音电话让人头疼的原因是它能准确获取受害人的信
息，故A 项正确。
40．B【解析】根据第二段可知，新的声音处理和自动化技术可以给人们带来便利，第三段
论述了这一技术让不法分子有了可乘之机，据此可以判断，技术是把双刃剑，故B 项
正确。
41．C【解析】通读全文，首段提出越来越多的人拒接未知号码的电话的现象，接下来又阐
述了这类电话给人们带来危害的原因，最后给出了解决方案，故C 项最适合作本文标
题。
分析：该句为主从复合句。句中they don’t know 为省略了关系词的定话从句，修饰先行
词numbers；全句使用了“so…that…”结构，表示“如此……以至于……”，that many people
now refuse to pick up calls from numbers 为that 引导的结果状语从句。
译文：自动语音电话的问题已经变得如此严重，以至于许多人现在拒绝接听他们不知遭
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
号码的电话。
D
体裁：说明文 题材：自然与生物 主题：微生物对海洋颜色的影响
【文章大意】研究表明，一种名为phytoplankton 的海洋微生物对海洋颜色的变化有很
大的影响。
42．B【解析】通读第一段可知，该段主要说明在不久的将来，随着气候变暖，不同地区的
海洋将变得更蓝，更绿；通读第二段可知，气候变化将影响海洋浮游植物的生长，从而
导致海洋外观的变化。故第一、二段主要介绍了海洋颜色变化的原因。
43．A【解析】根据第三段尾句“Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect
phytoplankton growth…but also nutrients”可知，温度变化对phytoplankton 有很大的影响；
由此可推知phytoplankton 对海洋的温度很敏感，故选A。
44．D【解析】根据第四段第三句和第四句可知，phytoplankton 数量越少，海洋的颜色越蓝；
数量越多，海洋的颜色越绿，故D 项正确。
45．C【解析】通读全文可知，本文主要讲气候变暖影响phytoplankton 这一海洋微生物的生
长，进而导致海洋颜色的变化，故选C 项。
分析：该句为主从复合句。句中while reducing it in other spots 为while 引导的时间状语
从句；现在分词短语leading to 作句子的结果状语。
译文：气候变化将促进某些地区浮游植物的生长，同时也会阻碍其他地区浮游植物的生
长，从而导致海洋外观的变化。
第二节
体裁：议论文 题材：社会生活 主题：团队合作的力量
【文章大意】大多数人认为一支优秀的团队应当由最优秀的人组成，所以公司会花费巨
资雇用商界精英，体育队伍也是如此。但是，研究表明，一支优秀的团队，不仅需要顶级人
才，更需要普通人才，平衡才是关键。
46．B 根据上文可知，大多数人认为组建优秀团队的最好方式是将最有才能的个体聚集在
一起；根据下文可知，公司花费巨资雇用商界精英。据此可以判断，B 项“运动队
的老板花费数百万美元以吸引最优秀的人才”正确。
47．E E 项中的“recent studies”与下文中的“results”和“researchers”对应。
48．G G 项中的“This task interdependence”指代空前提到的研究人员的研究内容，且G
项就是对前面提到的“this phenomenon”的解释。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
49．D 根据空前句“There is No I in TEAM”和前文所举的体育明星的例子可知，空处所
填内容与体育明星有关，而D 项中的“this basic principle of sportsmanship”指的就
是”There is No I in TEAM”，故D 项正确。
50．F 通读全文可知，空处为全文的总结句。由空后一句可知，一支优秀的团队需要一种
平衡：既要有优秀的选手，也要有一般的选手。故F 项“组建一个理想的团队比
简单地雇用最优秀的人才要复杂”正确。

In the 1960s，while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park，Bob
Christiansen became puzzled about something that，oddly，had not troubled anyone before：he
couldn't find the park's volcano． It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
in nature — that's what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features． But
Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere．
Most of us，when we talk about volcanoes，think of the classic cone（圆锥体）shapes of a Fuji
or Kilimanjaro，which are created when erupting magma（岩浆）piles up． These can form
remarkably quickly． In 1943，a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small
part of his land． In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet
high． Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half
a mile across． Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth，all but a few
hundred of them extinct． There is，however，a second les known type of volcano that doesn't
involve mountain building． These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big
crack，leaving behind a vast hole，the caldera． Yellowstone obviously was of this second type，
but Christiansen couldn't find the caldera anywhere．
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs
of Yellowstone． A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the
assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors' centers． As soon as
Christiansen saw the photos，he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera; almost the whole
park-2．2 million acres—was caldera． The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across
—much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level． At some time in the past
Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to
humans．
58．What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone？
A．Its complicated geographical features． B．Its ever-lasting influence on tourism．
C．The mysterious history of the park． D．The exact location of the volcano．
59．What does the second-paragraph mainly talk about？
A．The shapes of volcanoes． B．The impacts of volcanoes．
C．The activities of volcanoes． D．The heights of volcanoes．
60．What does the underlined word "blow-up" in the last paragraph most probably mean？
A．Hot-air balloon．
B．Digital camera．
C．Big photograph．
D．Bird's view．

Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than
the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent
changes?
It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions． However,
they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources．
The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution,
represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is
so "yesterday" that they should try to live on ideas． This belief in "post-industrial society" has led
those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业) with negative consequences for
their economies．
Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has
moved the international community to worry about the "digital divide" between the rich countries
and the poor countries． This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing
countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities． The question, however, is whether
this is what the developing countries need the most． Perhaps giving money for those less
fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more
affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a
laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things
are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without
carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money．
In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent
changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now
we live in a "borderless world"． As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have
come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological
progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back． Believing in such a world,
many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border
flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results．
Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic
policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at
the individual level． However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions．
61．Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to ______．
A．a lack of confidence in technology
B．a slow progress in technology
C．a conflict of public opinions
D．a waste of limited resources
62．The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should ______．
A．take people's essential needs into account
B．make their programmes attractive to people
C．ensure that each child gets financial support
D．provide more affordable internet facilities
63．What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?
A．Neglecting the impacts of technological advances．
B．Believing that the world has become borderless．
C．Ignoring the power of economic development．
D．Over-emphasizing the role of international communication．
64．What can we learn from the passage?
A．People should be encouraged to make more donations．
B．Traditional technology still has a place nowadays．
C．Making right career choices is crucial to personal success．
D．Economic policies should follow technological trends．

The 65-year-old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer’s（阿尔楚海默
症）．He was losing his memory．
A software engineer by profession, Steve was a keen lover of the piano, and the only
musician in his family． Music was his true passion, though he had never performed outside the
family．
Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep
catch night when she was young． She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her
father．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
Naomi, Melissa’s best friend and a talented pianist, got to know about this and showed
willingness to help．
“Why do this?” Steve wondered．
“Because she cares．” Melissa said．
Steve nodded, tears in eye．
Naomi drove to the Goodwin home． She told Steve she’d love to hear him play． Steve
moved to the piano and sat at the bench, hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the
keys．
Naomi put a small recorder near the piano, Starts and stops and mistakes． Long pauses,
heart sinking． But Steve pressed on, playing for the first time in his life for a stranger．
“It was beautiful．" Naomi said after listening to the recording． “The music was worth
saving．”
Her responsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it． The music was sill in Steve
Goodwin． It was bidden in rooms with doors about to be locked．
Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together． He’d move his fingers
clumsily on the piano, and then she’d take his place． He struggled to explain what he heard in his
head． He stood by the piano, eyes closed, listening for the first time to his own work being
played by someone else．
Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code lines, beats, intervals, moving from the root to end a
song in a new key． Steve heard it． All of it． He just couldn’t play it．
Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve． It had excited within him the belief he could
write one last song． One day, Naomi received an email． Attached was a recording, a recording
of loss and love, of the fight． Steve called it “Melancholy Flower”．
Naomi heard multiple stops and starts, Steve struggling, searching while his wife Joni called
him “honey” and encouraged him． The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was
quitting． Joni praised him, telling her husband this could be his signature piece．
Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve’s favorite, and most personal songs． With
Naomi’s help, the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve’s
songs． Joni thought that would be the end． But it wasn’t．
In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert, Naomi
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
told the director she had a special one in mind: “Melancholy Flower”
She told the director about her project with Steve． The director agreed to add it to the
playing list． But Naomi would have to ask Steve’s permission． He considered it an honor．
After the concert, Naomi told the family that Steve’s music was beautiful and
professional． It needed to be shared in public．
The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert． By the
day of the show, more than 300 people had said they would attend．
By then, Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends． He
knew the path his life was now taking． He told his family he was at peace．
Steve arrived and sat in the front row, surrounded by his family． The house lights
faded． Naomi took the stage． Her fingers． His heart．
65．Why did Melissa want to save her father’s music?
A．His music could stop his disease from worsening．
B．She wanted to please her dying old father．
C．His music deserved to be preserved in the family．
D．She wanted to make her father a professional．

The Cost of Thinking
Despite their many differences, all human beings share several defining characteristics． such
as large brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs．
The first unique human characteristic is that humans have extraordinarily large brains
compared with other animals． It seems obvious that evolution should select for larger
brains． Mammals（哺乳动物）weighing sixty kilograms have an average brain size of 200
cm2． Modern man has a brain averaging 1200-1400 cm2． We are so fond of our high intelligence
that we assume that when it comes to brain power, more must be better． Unfortunately, that is not
the case．
The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drain—consumption of energy—on the body． I's not
easy to carry around, especially when boxed inside a massive skull（倾骨）． It's even harder to
provides energy． In modern man, the brain accounts for about 2-3%of total body weight but it
consumes 25% of the body's energy when the body is at rest． By comparison, the brains of
apes(类人猿）require only 8%of rest-time energy． Early humans pad for their large brains in two
ways． Firstly, they spent more time in search food． Secondly, their muscles grew smaller and
weaker． It's hardly an obvious conclusion that this is a good way to survive． A chimpanzee(黑
猩猩) can't win an argument with a modern man, but it can tear the man apart like a rag doll．
Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright． Standing up, it's easier to find
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
food or enemies． In addition, their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for
other purposes, like throwing stones or signaling． As a result, humans can perform very complex
tasks with their hands．
Yet walking upright has its disadvantage． The bone structure of our ancestors developed for
millions of years to support a creature that walked on all fours and has a relatively small
head． Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge, especially when the bones had to
support an extra-large skull． Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands backaches
and painful necks．
We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages． It seems obvious that these have made
humankind the most powerful animal on earth． But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a
full 2 million years during which they remained weak and marginal creature． Thus humans who
lived a million years ago, despite their big brains and sharp stone tools, lived in constant fear of
meat-eating animals．
The Cost of Thinking
Introduction
• Large brains for their bodies and the ability to walk upright
are two (71)_______ of human beings．
The (72)_________ of
large human brains

42．A Emma 从来没有把自己当成一只鹤，它对人类产生了很深的感情。根据语境可知，
此处用否定副词never。
43．B 根据上文可知，Emma 对人类有很深的感情；再根据下文中的“killing some of them…
become a mother”可推知，它拒绝和雄鹤生活在一起，甚至有杀害雄鹤的名声，这
使它无法成为一名母亲。refuse to do sth．“拒绝做某事”。
44．D 参见上题解析。have a reputation for“有……的名声”。reputation“名声”。
45．D 参见第43 题解析。根据语境可知，此处用否定意义的形容词 impossible。

供多种文化艺术活动。
B
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。20 世纪60 年代，Bob Christiansen 在研究黄石国家公
园的火山历史时，对一件以前从未困扰过任何人的事情感到困惑：他找不到公园里的火山。
58．D【答案】根据第一段中的“Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that, oddly,
had not troubled anyone before: he couldn't find the park’s volcano”可知，Bob Christiansen
对黄石国家公园的火山位置感到困惑。
59．A【答案】根据第二段内容尤其是其中的“Most of us，when we talk about volcanoes． think
of the classic cone（圆锥体）shapes of Fuji or Kilimanjaro“和”a second less known type
of volcano that doesn't involve mountain building…a vast hole”可知，该段主要讲两类火
山的形状。
60．C【答案】根据画线词前的“NASA decided to… by taking paragraphs of Yellowstone”和
第三段中的“As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot
the caldera: almost the whole park —2.2 million acres - was caldera”可知，NASA 拍摄了
黄石国家公园的照片，Christiansen 在照片上看到公园的全景。由此可推知，blow-up
意为“放大的照片”。
分析：这是一个主从复合句，句中As soon as 引导时间状语从句，主句中why 引导宾
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
语从句。
译文：Christiansen 一看到照片，就意识到自己为什么没能找到火山口：几乎整个公园
—220 万英亩——都是火山口。
C
【文章大意】对于新科技作用的误判可能会误导人们对于已有的技术的认识和使用，影
响对社会的认知。
61．D【答案】根据第二段中的“However，they have real impacts，as they result in misguided
use of scarce resources”可知，对于新技术影响的误判导致了对于稀缺资源的误用，故

countries need the most．Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as
digging wells, extending electricity networks and_ in rural villages”可知，作者想通过事例
说明捐赠者应该考虑人们的基本需求，而不要片面地认为有了高科技产品，受赠者的生
活水平就会产生巨大飞跃。故本题答案为A。
63．B【答案】根据第五段可知，随着通信和交通运输技术的发展，人们认为我们生活在一
个“无国界的世界”，由此许多政府取消了一些必要的规则，故本题答案为B。
64．B【答案】通读全文，尤其是根据文章最后一段中的“However，our fascination…wrong
directions”可知，我们对于最新技术的入迷，和对于已经普遍存在的技术作用的低估会
将我们引向错误的方向，即传统的技术在当今仍有着重要的作用。故B 项符合文意。
分析：本句是一个复合句。that 引导宾语从句，whatever 引导主语从句。
译文：因此，在过去的二十年左右，许多人开始相信，无论今天发生什么变化，都是重
大技术进步的结果，背离这种观点，就好像设法将时间倒转。
D
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，叙述了Steve 在家人、朋友的帮助下与病魔赛跑及众
人努力拯救可能失传的“独家音乐”的感人故事。
65．C【答案】根据文章第二段可知，父亲Steve 是一位钢琴爱好者，是家里唯一一位音乐
家，再根据第三段中的“felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell
asleep each night when she was young”可知，父亲Steve 的音乐陪伴了Melissa 的成长，
因此Melissa 觉得它对于这个家庭有着特别的意义，值得被保存，故本题答 案为C。文
中并未提及Melissa 保存父亲的音乐是为了用音乐去阻止其病情的恶化，故A 项错误。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
选项B 中的dying 与文章不符，赦B 项错误。Steve 的职业是软件工程师，弹钢琴是业
余爱好，D 项脱离了“拯救音乐”这个主旨，故错误。
66．B【答案】 根据第十段“‘It was beautiful，’Naomi said after listening to the recording．‘The
music was worth saving．’”可知，听完他的演奏之后，Naomi 对于他的音乐很是赞赏，
故本题答案为B。选项A 显然错误。C 项文中未体现。根据第十一段中的“Her
responsibility，her privilege，would be to rescue”可知选项D 错误。
67．A【答案】根据第十二段中的“Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours
together．He’d move his fingers clumsily on the piano，and then she'd take his place”及第
十四段中的“Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve．It had excited within him the
belief he could write one last song”可知，音乐的录制过程缓慢，但是有成效，故本题答
案为A。
68．C【答案】根据第十五段中的“Steve struggling，searching while his wife Joni called him
‘honey’ and encouraged him．The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was
quitting． Joni praised him, telling her husband this could be his signature piece”可知，在
Steve 进行音乐创作时，他泄气过，甚至说过要放弃，而他的妻子Joni 仍然鼓励他和表
扬他，并称这会是他的“签名之作”。由signature 一般表示“（文件结尾的）签名”可
推知，Joni 认为这会是她丈夫最后的创作，她之前并没有想到丈夫的音乐会有被公开演
奏的一天。再结合下文中Steve 的音乐在音乐会上被演奏并得到认可及其对Steve 的影
响的内容可知，Joni 之前并没有完全认识到Steve 的音乐的价值或其积极作用。故本题
答案为C。
69．D【答案】根据文章最后两段的内容尤其是倒数第二段中的“He told his family he was at
peace”可知，在音乐会上，他心情很平静。故本题答案为D。
70．B【答案】音乐让Steve 在家人、朋友的帮助下展开了一场与病魔赛跑的接力赛，因此
The Power of Music 适合作文章的标题。第四部分：任务型阅读

第五部分：书面表达
81．Possible version one:
Li Jiang and Su Hua are discussing what to wear when receiving the British students next
month．Li recommends the traditional Chinese dress while Su prefers the school uniform．
I would be happy to wear traditional Chinese clothes at the welcome ceremony．Firstly, this is
precisely what the British visitors are expecting．They come to learn about Chinese culture with
their own eyes．Their Chinese peers in the typical Chinese dress would be highly impressive．The
school uniforms are fine, but not special enough to give a unique Chinese flavour．Secondly, the
inconvenience is not a problem if our purpose is to share Chinese culture．It is just the so-called
inconvenience that displays the richness, delicacy and great fascination of Chinese culture with a
history of thousands of years．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
The traditional Chinese clothes, it seems to me, will make the occasion very Chinese and
inviting to the British guests．
Possible version two：
Li Jiang and Su Hua don’t agree on what to wear when greeting the British students．Li
suggests traditional Chinese clothes while Su thinks the school uniforms are more suitable．
I prefer the school uniform to the traditional Chinese dress at the welcome ceremony next
month．Although the traditional Chinese dress may look more beautiful and stylish, it is a little bit
strange to walk around in it．We feel at ease in our school uniforms every day．What’s more, the
traditional Chinese dress can’t reflect the unique culture of our school．From the design and colour
of our uniforms, the British friends will learn more about our school．Besides, the choice of the
traditional Chinese dress means extra money, and extra time, for we have to change it back after
the event．
So the school uniforms area better choice than the traditional Chinese dress for such an
occasion．

I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a
child deal with books． There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a
storybook by my bedside． I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded．
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading． Hearing mom say, "I can’t believe
what’s printed in the newspaper this morning," made me want to grab it out of her hands and read
it myself． I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew． So I carried around
a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading．
This is how everyone learned to read．We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs,
and then stories．It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that
knowing how to read could open many doors． When mom said," The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on
the top shelf," I knew where the candy was． My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I
wanted to know everything． I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I
could read all of the road signs we passed．
Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading． I read for
knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests． Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned,
but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading． I liked facts, things that are concrete． I thought anything
abstract left too much room for argument．
Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more
complex, I find myself needing a way to escape． By opening a novel, I can leave behind my
burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character． In
these worlds I can become anyone． I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique
the author was using when he or she wrote this． I just read to relax．
We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding． Reading is a
vital part of my life． Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning． And I’ve found that the
possibilities that lie within books are limitless．
41．Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands?
A．She wanted mom to read the news to her．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
B．She was anxious to know what had happened．
C．She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart．
D．She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading．
42．According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs indicates ________．
A．her unique way to locate herself
B．her eagerness to develop her reading ability
C．her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules
D．her growing desire to know the world around her．
43．What was the author’s view on factual reading?
A．It would help her update test-taking skills．
B．It would allow much room for free thinking．
C．It would provide true and objective information．
D． It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life．
44．The author takes novel reading as a way to___________．
A．explore a fantasy land
B．develop a passion for leaning
C．learn about the adult community
D．get away from a confusing world
45．What could be the best title for the passage?
A．The Magic of Reading
B．The Pleasure of Reading
C．Growing Up with Reading
D．Reading Makes a Full Man
C
How does an ecosystem（生态系统）work？What makes the populations of different species
the way they are？Why are there so many flies and so few wolves？To find an answer, scientists
have built mathematical models of food webs, noting who eats whom and how much each one eats．
With such models，scientists have found out some key principles operating in food
webs． Most food webs，for instance，consist of many weak links rather than a few strong
ones． When a predator（掠食动物）always eats huge numbers of a single prey（猎物），the two
species are strongly linked；when a predator lives on various species，they are weakly
linked． Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more
stable over the long term． If a predator can eat several species，it can survive the extinction（灭
绝）of one of them． And if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
prey species becomes rare，the switch allows the original prey to recover． The weak links may
thus keep species from driving one another to extinction．
Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable，where small
changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems． In the 1960s，
scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over
the size of populations of other species---including species they did not directly attack．
And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to
be true． In the ocean，we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale，while on land，
we killed off large predators such as wolves． These actions have greatly affected the ecological
balance．
Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematical models． Ideally，the
system would tell us when to adapt human activities that are pushing an ecosystem toward a
breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back from the borderline． Prevention is
key，scientists says because once ecosystems pass their tipping point（临界点），it is remarkably
difficult for them to return．
46．What have scientists discovered with the help of mathematical models of food webs？
A．The living habits of species in food webs．
B．The rules governing food webs of the ecosystems．
C．The approaches to studying the species in the ecosystems．
D．The differences between weak and strong links in food webs．
47．A strong link is found between two species when a predator______．
A．has a wide food choice
B．can easily find new prey
C．sticks to one prey species
D．can quickly move to another place
48．What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline？
A．The prey species they directly attack will die out．
B．The species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators．
C．The living environment of other species will remain unchanged．
D．The populations of other species will experience unexpected changes．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
49．What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4？
A．Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems．
B．Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats．
C．Species of commercial value dominate other species．
D．Industrial activities help keep food webs stable．
50．How does an early-warning system help us maintain the ecological balance？
A．By getting illegal practices under control．
B．By stopping us from killing large predators．
C．By bringing the broken-down ecosystems back to normal．
D．By signaling the urgent need for taking preventive action．
D
Would you BET on the future of this man？He is 53 years old． Most of his adult life has
been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune． A war injury has made his left hand stop
functioning，and he has often been in prison． Driven by heaven-knows-what motives，he
determines to write a book．
The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years． That
former prisoner was Cervantes, and the book was Don Quixote（《堂吉诃德》）． And the story
poses an interesting question: why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end
of their days，while others go to seed long before？
We've all known people who run out of steam before they reach life's halfway mark． I'm not
talking about those who fail to get to the top． We can't all get there． I'm talking about people
who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions
that all too often come with passing years．
Most of us, in fact, progressively narrow the variety of our lives． We succeed in our field of
specialization and then become trapped in it． Nothing surprises us． We lose our sense of
wonder． But，if we are willing to lean，the opportunities are everywhere．
The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills． We learn to bear
with the things we can't change． We learn to avoid self-pity．We learn that however much we try
to please，some people are never going to love us-an idea that troubles at first but is eventually
relaxing．
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
With high motivation and enthusiasm，we can keep on learning． Then we will know how
important it is to have meaning in our life． However, we can achieve meaning only if we have
made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos（自我）, whether to loved ones, to
fellow humans, to work, or to some moral concept．
Many of us equate（视…等同于）“commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching
and nursing． But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable
commitment． People who work toward such excellence—whether they are driving a truck, or
running a store-make the world better just by being the kind of people they are． They've learned
life's most valuable lesson．
51．The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that_________．
A．loss of freedom stimulates one's creativity
B．age is not a barrier to achieving one's goal
C．misery inspires a man to fight against his fate
D．disability cannot stop a man's pursuit of success
52．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．End one's struggle for liberty．
B．Waste one's energy taking risks．
C．Miss the opportunity to succeed．
D．Lose the interest to continue learning．
53．What could be inferred from Paragraph 4？
A．Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped．
B．Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead．
C．Opportunity favors those with a curious mind．
D．Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind．
54．What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5？
A．A tough man can tolerate suffering．
B．A wise man can live without self-pity．
C．A man should try to satisfy people around him．
D．A man should learn suitable ways to deal with life．
55．What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？

B．To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work．
C．To state the importance of generating motivation for learning．
D．To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career．

Haze Mabry, who has worked as a school keeper for thirteen years，walks into the school
building every day and empties garbage cans, wipes down bathrooms and mops wet messes in the
hallways．
Last Friday, after he arrived at the school, instead of finding garbage to clean up, he found
almost 800 students lining the hallways with handmade cards, blowing noisemakers and singing a
full-throated happy birthday to him． It was his 80th． As he walked the long hallway, some
popped out of lime to hug him． They handed him so many cards that they filled several large
boxes． Touched by their enthusiastic expression of affection． Mabry thanked them all． "They're
like my children，"Mabry said．
On a regular day，students at the school sometimes come up to him to say they're not feeling
well or other times to tell him about something that happened at break． He knows most of the
kids at the school, but can't name each one． Some of them make him know them． Like Faith,
who often forgets her backpack in the cafeteria，and Lucy，who just wants a hug．
“He won't brag（夸耀）on himself, but it doesn't matter what he's doing or where he is, he will
always stop what he's doing to take care of a child if that child is having a bad day． If a child
approaches him，he will pause to give that child his undivided attention． He's the most loved one
in this building，"said Lori Gilreath，a reading teacher．
Mabry works circles around all the students, cleaning up messes others don't want to
touch． He doesn't expect a lot． Mabry said he hadn't planned to do much for his milestone
birthday, so he was happy the students had prepared the surprise celebration．
Over the weekend, he worked through the piles of handmade cards at his house． One card
from a student stood out to him． It read: “Mr． Haze，you are my sunshine．”

stage 意为“阶段”，空处引导定语从句，在从句中作地点状语，故用in which 或者where。
故选B。
12．A【答案】句意：教授警告学生说在他的课上绝对不应该使用手机。on no account(绝对
不)具有否定意义，置于句首时，句子应使用部分倒装结构；再结合句意“不应该”可
知，应选A。

支持。A 项意为“自从，既然”；B 项意为“一旦”；C 项意为“除非”；D 项意为“在……
之后”。故选C。
14．D【答案】句意：工人们没有被组织好，否则的话他们会用那一半的时间完成任务的。
此处otherwise 表达了一种含蓄虚拟；otherwise 前的内容所述的是过去的事实，相当于
if 引导的条件状语从句“If the workers had been better organized”，因此后半部分应用“主
语+would have done sth．”的结构。故选D。
15．A【答案】句意：狗的饮食习惯在正确地建立之前需要规则的训练。A 项意为“正确地”；
B 项意为“广泛地”；C 项意为“最初”；D 项意为“临时”。故选A。

【文章大意】本文讲述了小时候妈妈给我读书让我有了读书的渴望；随着年龄的增长，
我越来越爱读书。读书伴我成长。时至今日，我依然热爱读书。
41．B【答案】根据第二段中的“Hearing mom say，
‘I can't believe what’s printed in the newspaper
this morning,’ made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself．I wanted to be
like my mom and know all of the things she knew”可知，作者渴望像她的妈妈那样知道发
生了什么事。故选B。

【斐然英语十年真题系列】
C
体裁：说明文 题材：自然 主题：生态系统与食物网
【文章大意】这是一篇科普类的说明文。为了弄清生态系统的运转，科学家建立了数学
模型，通过模型发现不同层次的物种之间的依存关系，而人类作为最高层的掠食动物，其一
举一动都会影响整个生态系统。
46．B【答案】第一段说，为了弄清生态系统的运转，科学家建立了数学模型；第二段说，
通过这一模型，科学家找到了生态系统食物网中运行的关键原则，因此选B。
47．C【答案】根据题干的关键词A strong link，我们把答案定位在第二段。根据该段的关
键信息“When a predator(掠食动物)…strongly linked”可知，如果掠食动物只吃一种猎
物，那么它们之间的联系就很紧密，故本题选C。A 项“食物选择的范围很广”和B
项“可以轻松地找到新的猎物”都是“弱生物链”(a weak link)的具体体现；根据第二
段的内容可知，当掠食动物转向另一个更容易被发现的猎物时，原先已经被掠食到几乎
灭绝的猎物就能恢复生机，这也是与a weak link 相关的信息，故A、B、D 项都不符合
本题的信息。
48．D【答案】根据题干的关键信息“顶端掠食动物的数量大大减少”，我们把答案定位在
第三段。该段说，顶端掠食动物数量的细小变化都会给整个生态系统带来大变化，这与
D 项陈述相符。
49．A【答案】第四段开头说，无计划的人类活动已经证明顶端掠食动物能自上而下地控制
其他物种，然后说到人类对海洋和陆地的顶端掠食动物的捕杀，并且说，这些行为极大
地影响了生态平衡，A 项的“失控的人类活动极大地扰乱了生态系统”是对这一段最好
的总结。
50．D【答案】根据题干的关键信息“早期预警系统”，我们把答案定位在最后一段。该段
说，这个系统是以数学模型为基础建立的，能告诉我们什么时候应该改变人类把生态系
统逼向崩溃的活动，然后说“预防是关键”。从这些信息判断选D。文章没有提到A 项
“控制非法行为”；B 项“不让我们掠杀大型掠食动物”与文章最后一段的信息不符；根
据最后一段最后一句可知C 项不符合语境。
D
体裁：议论文 题材：生活与学习 主题：寻找生活的意义
【文章大意】本文从西班牙文学巨匠塞万提斯讲起，告诉我们不论身处哪个年龄阶段，
只要有目标，并且愿意学习，我们就可能取得成功。
【斐然英语十年真题系列】
51．B【答案】根据第一、二段可知，塞万提斯成年后生活坎坷，但他决心写一本书，结果
这本书畅销了350 多年，有些人直到生命的最后时刻都在发现新的活力和创意。由此可
推知，作者以塞万提斯的故事开头是为了告诉我们年龄不是实现目标的障碍。
52．D【答案】根据语境并结合画线短语所在句可知，人们在还没到达人生的中点之前就失
去了兴趣”，故选D 项。
53．C【答案】通读第四段可知，该段是说我们中大多数人总是减少自己生活的多样性，困
在自己的专业领域，没有什么能给我们带来惊喜，但是只要我们愿意学，到处都是机会。
据此可推知，机会青睐求知欲强的人。
54．D【答案】通读第五段可知，该段说到我们成熟之后学会忍受自己改变不了的事，学会
避免自我哀怜；知道有些人是我们无论怎么做都讨好不了的，而这种想法最初会困扰我
们，但最终我们会感到释然。由此可知，作者在第五段想告诉我们应该学会用合适的方
式对 待生活，因此选D。A 项与该段第二句不符；该段说我们学会避免自我哀怜，
故B 项错误；C 项与该段的描述相反，该段说有些人是我们无论怎么做都不会喜欢我
们的，故错误。
55．A【答案】通读全文可知，本文通过塞万提斯的经历告诉我们要让自己成年的生活充满
意义。
