Ⅱ. 閱讀（共兩節，滿分50分）

第一節 閱讀理解（共20小題，每小題2分，滿分40分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

A

The most miserable people live in their own little worlds of isolation. They do very little for others and rarely have much fun.

I heard of one man who was considered by the townspeople to be both rich and simple. His austerities (節約) earned him the reputation of a miser. When he died， everyone expected to find a lot of money in his home. But all they found were some coins.

It came out that he had used most of his money to help put needy young students through college. And the coins filled his pockets as he walked down the busy streets looking for cars whose parking meters had run out. When he found one， he would drop in a coin. One of his neighbors commented， “That explains why he looked so happy!”

Of course! People who are willing to help others will always be happy. When I lived in Denver， I decided to do the same thing. So whenever I parked on a busy street I noticed the parking meters around me. If one had run out， I would put in a coin.

Then I learned something disturbing. It is illegal to do that in Denver! Once I learned that I was breaking the law， I quit looking for meters to feed. And I lost an extra bit of joy.

I have moved away from Denver now and I just might go back to feed an expired(到期的) meter from time to time. I don’t know how the city council feels about my little gifts to drivers， but I know how it feels to be unavoidably late returning to a parked car， and worrying about whether the meter has run out. And if I have to look over my shoulder before I put in a coin， then somehow I think that may be more fun! It can be a game: do something good and don’t get caught!

Everyone is allowed to play.

Shanghai authorities Tuesday denied that the city’s divorce rate hit 35 percent last year， while experts predicted that the figure would further climb as more couples decide they want a way out of their failed marriage.

Shanghai’s civil affairs bureau（民政局）clarified the alarmingly high figure reported by local media Tuesday on Valentine’s Day， when flower sales surged and some 2，800 couples in the city tied the knot on the most commercially romantic day of the year.

Last year， some 38，850 people divorced， according to Zhou Jixiang， head of the bureau’s marriage department.

“Based on an international calculation method that counts the number of married couples who agree to divorce against that of the city’s total population， the divorce rate rested at three to four divorces for every 1，000 couples，” he told the Global Times Tuesday.

“True， that number doesn’t yet include those couples who divorced with help from the courts last year， but even when that record is added to the count， there’s still no way the figure could be anywhere near 35 percent，” he said.

Shu Xin， a private marriage counselor， who has roughly a decade of experience in dealing with couples’ marital problems， said that most of his patients， or roughly 60 percent of them， are below the age of 35.?

“We began marriage consultation for couples in 2004，” he said. “About a third of the 4，250 couples who received help last year have thought twice about splitting up.”

“They haven’t been together for all that long and have less to lose than older couples， who share a child，” he told the Global Times Tuesday. “They think it’s easier for them to just give up on their troubled marriage and start over—and chase another love.”

The unhappy situation， combined with more prosperous modern times and a declining public stigma toward divorce， also makes it easier for couples to throw in the towel before growing old together， agreed Xu Anqi， a researcher specializing in marital studies from Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.

31. The underlined word “surged”(in Para2)probably means _________.

A. sharply reduced B. abruptly increased

C. suddenly dropped D. strongly fell

32. According Zhou Jixing， ____________.

A. last year， less than 30，000 people divorce

B. he was interviewed by the Global Times on Valentine’s Day

C. the city’s divorce rate is higher than 35 percent

D. the problem of divorce is the urgent one to be dealt with

33. From the passage， we can infer that ____________.

A. the city’s divorce rate is bound to be higher than 35 percent

B. the city’s divorce rate must be lower than 35 percent

C. compared with the elderly， more young people choose to end their marriage

D. compared with the youth， more elderly people choose end their marriage

34. Which of the followings is not the reason for divorce?

A. the unhappy situation

B. more prosperous modern times

C. a declining public stigma toward divorce

D. less money

35. What is the passage mainly about?

A. A discussion about divorce rate between the government and experts.

B. At present， divorce resulted in dreadful society problems.

C. The solutions to the divorce issue.

D. Everyone should manage their marriage well

C

Homework. The word alone causes complaints from kids of all ages. It’s often accompanied by the dull sound of an overloaded schoolbag hitting the floor. A heavy helping of homework is， for many students， a headache. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There’s no magic formula for getting good grades on homework. But there are some basic things that students can do to raise their grades. Here are several homework tips from an experienced teacher:

1. Study in a clean and well-lighted place.

Doing your homework while lying on your bed by the light of the TV is probably not the best way to go.

2. Limit distractions.

Listening to your iPod and sending instant messages to 14 different people while you’re trying to study isn’t the method for success.

3. Organize your time.

Set aside a certain amount of time for homework every night. If you have nothing due the next day， you can work on long-term projects or read a book. Remember “delay = bad”.

4. Keep track of assignments.

The best way to do this is to use a homework planner. This planner should include not only your day-to-day assignments， but also a schedule for longer-term projects. In other words， if you have a research paper due in three weeks， you should write down when you need to have all your books and materials， when your notes should be done， when the first draft should be completed， etc. This prevents those nasty surprises when you suddenly have to write a whole paper in one evening.

5. Ask， ask， ask.

It’s important to ask the teacher at least one question each week but asking to going to the bathroom doesn’t count. You can hand in your paper and have the teacher check it over. This makes a big difference in making a student-teacher connection.

6. Check your work.

Everyone makes mistakes， but it’s better if you catch them rather than your teacher. Take the time to go over your work. And remember， four eyes are better than two， so get a parent to remember it as well.

36. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. It’s a good way to do your homework while lying on your bed.

B. You can enjoy music as you do your homework.

C. There is no need to go over your homework after finishing it.

D. If one day you haven’t homework to do， you can read a book.

37. We learn from the last paragraph but one that __________.

A. you’d better ask the teacher a question every day

B. “Shall I go to the bathroom?” is a good question

C. You can communicate with your teacher after he checked your paper

D. the more questions you ask， the better result you will get

38. Who is most likely to benefit from the passage?

A. Teachers. B. Parents.

C. Students. D. Researchers.

39. What do we learn about “homework”?

A. Generally speaking， students can finish their homework comfortably.

B. Many students can accept their homework happily.

C. Kids of all ages are unwilling to do the homework.

D. It is easy for students to get good grades on homework.

40. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Check your homework

B. Tips for improving your homework grades

C. Organize your time

D. Homework

答案與解析

Ⅰ. 語言知識及應用

第一節 完形填空

安寧并不意味著沒有喧囂，沒有劫難，沒有艱辛的付出。安寧意味著即使深處喧囂之境，內心依然靜如止水。這才是安寧的真諦！

1. B 上文說到國王要獎賞最能表達平靜的畫家，因此許多畫家都試了。tried “嘗試”，符合文意。

2. C 國王看了所有的畫，只有兩幅他是真正喜歡的。really 副詞，修飾動詞like。

3. A 因calm與下文的perfect mirror是同義復現。

4. B 因mountains與下文The other picture had mountains too.中的mountains是原詞復現。

5. D 這是對這幅畫所描繪的風景的一個概括。因為它所描繪的是一幅安靜祥和的畫面，因此用褒義形容詞perfect，其他的形容詞都是貶義的，不合適。

6. A 因bare “光禿禿的”與上文的rugged“崎嶇不平的，多巖石的”是詞語同現。

7. C 因angry與下文出現的rain fell， lightening， tumbled a foaming waterfall是詞語同現。

8. D 因lightening played in the sky 中played有“閃動”之意。

9. B 因peaceful 與上文出現的peace， peaceful是同源詞復現。

10. C 因bush與下文的in the bush 是原詞復現。

11. D 因nest與下文的on her nest是原詞復現。

12. A 根據推斷，既然后面說鳥媽媽非常的平靜，那么其他幾個意思都是錯的。

13. B 根據下文推斷，國王選擇了第二幅畫。chose與上文he had to choose between them中的choose是同源詞復現。

14. C 因trouble與noise和hard work是詞語同現。

15. D 根據常識，真正的寧靜是身處喧囂仍然能保持內心的寧靜。

第二節 語法填空

身體殘疾，內心強大，使我深受感動。我的鼓舞和幫助會永遠留在他的心里。

16. a 考查冠詞的用法。a lack of buses意為“缺少公共汽車”。

17. who/ that 考查定語從句中關系代詞的用法。此處先行詞是man，定語從句中缺主語，因此用who或that。

18. healthy 考查派生詞。此處缺表語，因此應該填形容詞，health的形容詞是healthy（健康的）。

19. him 考查代詞用法。此處缺賓語，根據上下文的意思，應該填賓格代詞him。

20. were taken 考查動詞時態語態。此處缺謂語，根據句意應該采用被動語態，由于整篇文章的時態基調是過去時，因此應該填一般過去時的被動態，were taken。

21. listening 考查非謂語動詞。listen與句子的主語I之間是主動關系，因此使用listening。

22. but 因前后分句之間是轉折關系。

23. them 考查代詞用法。此處缺賓語，用them代替前面的his heart and spirit。

24. on 考查介詞用法。固定短語，have a great effect on“對……有很大的影響”。

25. if 考查連詞用法。if 在that 引導的賓語從句中引導條件狀語從句，“如果”之意。

Ⅱ. 閱讀

第一節 閱讀理解

A篇 一個生活在自己狹小世界里的人永遠不會真正快樂，只有在幫助別人，與別人分享的過程中才能體驗到真正的快樂。

26. D 細節理解題。從文章第三段的People who are willing to help others will always be happy可以得出答案。

27. C 細節理解題。從文章的第二段和第三段的第一句可以得到答案。

28. B 細節理解題。 從文章第五段的第二句It is illegal to do that in Denver!可以得出答案。

29. B 詞義猜測題。根據文章第六段的最后兩句可以看出，此處a game不是游戲，而是幫助別人，但是又不被抓到。

30. B 推理判斷題。根據文章中幾次出現的When he found one， he would drop in a coin 和后面的If one had run out， I would put in a coin可以推斷出“如果咪表用完，要立馬投入硬幣，否則可能會被罰款。”

B篇 星期二，上海的民政局否認了這個城市去年離婚率高達35%， 而專家卻認為這個數字將會進一步上升。

31. B 詞義猜測題。根據民政局的觀點“否認離婚率高達35%”和下文“這個城市大約2800人在浪漫的情人節喜結連理”可以推斷出情人節那一天玫瑰花的銷量應該是“急劇上升”。

32. B 細節理解題。根據文章第四段最后一句可知，他在情人節那天接受了the Global Time的采訪。

33. C 推理判斷題。因為這是一個討論，沒有一個明確的十分正確的觀點，所以A、B都不對。根據文中Shu Xin的觀點可以看出年輕人的離婚率高于老年人。

34. D 細節理解題。根據文章最后一段的第一句。

35. A 主旨大意題。根據文章第一段，以及后面的不同觀點。

C篇 家庭作業是令幾乎所有孩子頭疼的問題，本文提供了一些如何提高家庭作業效率的小建議。

39. C 推理判斷題。根據文章的第一段可以推斷出。

40. B 主旨大意題。選項A、C太偏，選項D太寬，只有B剛好合適。

D篇 曾經得過肺炎、猩紅熱和小兒麻痹。但她最終戰勝了這些兒時的疾病，成為奧運史上最偉大的女子短跑運動員之一。她就是威爾瑪·魯道夫。

41. D 細節理解題。根據文章第一段。

In order to make the ban better carried out， not only will some posts and signs about banning driving while intoxicated be put up in public places， but also everyone will be punished if he drives while intoxicated. It is reported that more than half of the traffic accidents have some connection with driving while intoxicated， which is the main reason for deaths in traffic accidents. According to the detailed statistics， last year in our country， due to driving while intoxicated， 11959 traffic accidents happened， resulting in 4658 deaths and 12854 injured.

第二節 讀寫任務

Roger Allsopp， a 70-year-old breast cancer surgeon， bravely met challenges and has successfully swum across the English Channel， setting Guinness World Record， which will help him to raise more money to help cancer research.

Roger’s story reminds me of my own experience. When I was a pupil， a student in our class fell ill. He was said to need a big sum of money to be treated. To our anxiety， it was impossible for his family to afford the operation at all. As a result， our teacher encouraged us students to collect some money. In order to save money， some students cancelled their breakfast. Some students sent the waste paper and books to the recycling bin， just to get some money. As for me， I earned money by selling newspapers every morning. In a word， it was our effort that helped his family out.

At that time， although we were very tired， we felt happy because we made great efforts for his life.
