35、d arrived at the airport about 30 minutes before the checkin.It had been a very 36 three days for me with lots of meetings.So I was glad to have the 37 time to make my notes on what I 38 todo the following day.But then came the 39 that my flight had to be 40 because there was a problem with the plan
36、e. As I sat waiting for my 41 to be called,I reflected on my last meeting of the day.It was not a business meeting but rather a very enjoyable 42 with an old business friend I had not seen for over 12 years.Our lunch was spent recalling times gone by 43 filling each other in what had happened in our
37、 lives over the last 12 years.We both laughed and smiled as we recalled the good times and the great experiences we had 44 together.At the end of our time together,we both said how much we had 45 it and that we must do it again. It was great to have this additional time to replay in my 46 all that w
38、e had talked about.I realized just how important it was to have regular 47 of the good times in our life.I was lucky enough to have had the chance to take a short 48 and reflect on the good things that had happened in my life over 12 years. It was somewhat like looking at an old photo album 49 in a
39、cupboard in your house.There before your eyes are lots of wonderful 50 that take you back to times and places,and most importantly to those peoplewho are in the 51 . My flight home was finally 52 three hours later.I smiled as I 53 the plane and realized that I was not at all 54 about the delay in th
40、e flight,as I had been able to spend the time 55 on the good times from days gone by. 36.A.important B.busy C.quick D.useful 【解析】 由with lots of meetings(有大量的会议)可知应是很繁忙的(busy)三天;而不是重要的(important),快的(quick)和有用的(useful)。 【答案】 B 37.A.pleasantB.satisfying C.happyD.extra 【解析】 第一句说作者在检票前30分钟到了机场,所以就有额外的时间来
41、计划接下来需要做的事情。pleasant令人愉快的,舒适的;satisfying令人满意的;happy高兴的;extra 额外的。 【答案】 D 38.A.hadB.failed C.neededD.asked 【解析】 结合上下文,那三天来,由于一直忙于参加很多会议,”我”很乐于有时间来计划接下来”需要”做的事情。所以needed适合。 【答案】 C 39.A.announcementB.declaration C.openingD.speech 【解析】 分析句意可知,这时机场发布了一项公告。 【答案】 A 40.A.waitedB.cancelledC.takenD.delayed 【解
42、析】 飞机出了问题,带来的应是航班”延误”或者被”取消”的结果,但从下文可知,飞机航班并没有被取消,所以B项cancelled(取消)错误。 【答案】 D 41.A.flightB.turnC.nameD.order 【解析】 飞机没有来,”我”坐在那里应该是”等待航班”。 【答案】 A 42.A.negotiationB.lunch C.partyD.discussion 【解析】 下一句中出现了lunch照应前文。理解全句,应为”那不是一个商务会议,而是我与一个业务上的朋友的一次愉快的午餐,而且我与这个朋友已经12年没见面了”。 【答案】 B 43.A.as wellB.except fo
43、r C.as well asD.in addition 【解析】 分析句意,作者要说的是在午饭时做了什么,filling和recalling引导的短语是并列关系,需要一个合适的连接词把它们连接起来,故用as well as。 【答案】 C 44.A.spentB.metC.managedD.shared 【解析】 此句为定语从句。spend,meet,manage都不能与先行词times和experiences很好地搭配,而share表示”分享,共有”,可以与其构成完整的句意,即:回忆起以前我们一起度过的快乐时光,我们都很开心。 【答案】 D 45.A.gotB.enjoyedC.madeD.
44、paid 【解析】 由”.we must do it again.”可知我们很满意那天的聚会。分析四个选项的意思,只有enjoy合适。 【答案】 B 46.A.thoughtB.spiritC.flightD.mind 【解析】 有这样额外的时间来回想我们的对话实在是太好了。回想应是在大脑中,所以mind(头脑,精神)合适。 【答案】 D 47.A.timeB.plans C.remindersD.remains 【解析】 这里说的是作者的感受:我还认识到经常回顾生命中的快乐时光的重要性。 【答案】 C 48.A.wayB.cut C.methodD.break 【解析】 从上下文可知,作者认
45、为自己很幸运,有这样一个机会来放松一下并回忆过去12年的快乐时光。break恰好能与take搭配,意思是”放松,休息”。 【答案】 D 49.A.stored awayB.put on C.set asideD.given out 【解析】 分析句意,应为:这就有点像是在看储藏在家里柜子里的老相册一样。用stored away符合句意。 【答案】 A 50.A.celebrationsB.memories C.awardsD.presents 【解析】 看着相册,展现在眼前的应是许多精彩的”回忆”。 【答案】 B 51.A.cupboardB.books C.childhoodD.photos
46、 【解析】 上文提到了photo album,显然文中说的应该是”照片”中的人物。呈现在你眼前的是许多精彩的回忆,它们带你回到过去的时光和场景,更重要的是,它们让你想起相片中的那些人。 【答案】 D 52.A.shoutedB.phoned C.calledD.commanded 【解析】 3小时后,回家的班机终于要起飞了。由第二段第一句话”As I sat waiting for my.to be called.”,可知答案为called。 【答案】 C 53.A.leftB.boarded C.jumpedD.reached 【解析】 飞机来了,作者要登机,而不是离开飞机,left错误。跳
47、上飞机,也不符合常理;reach与语境不符。board the plane登机,为正确答案。 【答案】 B 54.A.upsetB.happy C.crazyD.surprised 【解析】 通过整篇文章我们分析作者此时的心情应是很愉快的。句意:我微笑着登上了飞机,并且意识到我对于飞机的晚点并不心烦。 【答案】 A 55.A.takingB.seizing C.reflectingD.bringing 【解析】 作者心情好的原因应是”有时间去回顾那些逝去的好时光”。第二段和第三段都提到了reflect on这个短语,意思是”仔细考虑”。 【答案】 C 第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分
48、,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 Most children,even the youngest of children,are delighted to be around cats and dogs.But these pets carry plenty of germs and allergens (过敏原),prompting researchers to ask:Are cats and dogs really safe for children? A study finds that,contrary to many par
49、ents fears,owning cats or dogs does not increase a childs risk of developing allergies,and in fact,may actually protect them.The studys lead author,Dr.Dennis Ownby of the Medical College of Georgia,says that even he was “very surprised” by the results.Ownby and colleagues followed more than 470 chil
50、dren from birth to age 6 or 7,comparing those exposed to cats and dogs during their first year of life to those who were not. By using skinprick tests for detecting common allergies,the researches found that contrary to what many doctors had been taught for years,children who had lived with a pet we
51、re not at greater risk. Even more remarkable,children who had two or more dogs or cats had an even greater reduction,up to 77 percent,in risk of allergies.Researchers suggest this protective effect may be the result of early exposure to lots of bacteria that are carried by dogs and cats.Exposing you
52、ng children to these bacteria helps “exercise” their immune systems early in life so that theyre better able to resist allergic diseases later. ”Theres something very important in that first year of life when the immune system developing.We can retrain it away from an allergic response,” said Dr.Wil
53、liam Davis. And while researchers are not encouraging parents to buy dogs or cats just to reduce a childs allergy risk,they say if a family already has one or more animals,theres no need to get rid of them. 56.Why do the researchers feel “very surprised” by the results of the study? A.Because the re
54、sults are contrary to their expectation. B.Because so many children are playing with cats and dogs. C.Because parents are so much worried about their children. D.Because children with animals may develop allergies easily. 【解析】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段第一句”A study finds that,contrary to many parents fears.prote
55、ct them.”可知调查结果发现拥有宠物对孩子们有保护作用,出乎所有人预料。 【答案】 A 57.Compared with children who have pets,those who havent . A.will lose the chance to develop immune system B.may suffer allergic diseases more often C.will reduce the harm from bacteria D.can keep doctors away 【解析】 考查推理判断。根据文章第四段中”Even more remarkable,c
56、hildren who had two or more dogs or cats had an even greater reduction,up to 77 percent,in risk of allergies”可知,没有宠物的孩子更容易遭受过敏疾病侵扰,从文章第四、五段可以看出,养宠物可以提高孩子们的免疫能力,并不是说不养宠物就会失去培养免疫能力的机会,所以答案选择B项。 【答案】 B 58.It can be inferred from the passage that . A.pets are illtreated by their owners B.less families w
57、ould like to own cats and dogs C.keeping pets is a good way to keep children healthy D.the results of the study can make families with pets feel at ease 【解析】 考查推理判断。结合全文可以知道科学研究已经证实养宠物可以提高孩子们的免疫能力,所以打消人们先前的顾虑,可以判断A、B两项错误,D项正确。根据文章最后一段”And while researchers are not.just to reduce a childs allergy ris
58、k”可以知道研究人员并不提倡家长买更多的宠物来消除孩子的过敏风险,所以判断C项错误。 【答案】 D 59.The underlined word “it” in the fifth paragraph refers to . A.the early life B.an allergic disease C.immune systemD.something important 【解析】 考查词义猜测。根据威廉教授所说,我们很容易发现孩子的免疫系统早期得以发展,可以远离过敏。这里it是指immune system。 【答案】 C 60.What may be the best title of t
59、he passage? A.How to protect your kids from allergies B.Your pets may be helping your kids C.Bacteria do good to your kids D.Advantages of owning pets 【解析】 考查文章标题。文章第一段先设下养宠物时孩子有没有过敏风险的疑问,然后文章通过实验的结果来证实养宠物可以提高孩子们的免疫能力,以此打消人们先前的顾虑。所以文章的最佳标题是B项。 【答案】 B B Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as the
60、y get older,but mens minds decline more than womens,according to the results of a worldwide survey. Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains:Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images(useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills),while women tend to
61、excel(擅长)at recalling information from their brains files(helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects). Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age,but the results have been mixed. Some studies found m
62、ore age-related decline in men than in women,while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline.Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people,and women live longer than men:The men tested are the survivors,”so theyre the ones that
63、may not have shown such cognitive decline,” said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England. People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sexrelated cognitive skills:matching an object to its rotated form,matching lines shown from the same angle,typing as many words in a
64、 particular category(范畴)as possible in the given time,e.g.”object usually colored gray”,and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing.The first two were tasks at which men usually excel;the latter are typically dominated by women. Within each age group studied,men and women performed bette
65、r in their separate categories on average.And though performance declined with age for both genders,women showed obviously less decline than men overall. 61.The underlined word “inherent” in the second paragraph means .

67、 decline B.people surveyed are all old C.people taking part in this test came from all over the world D.women live longer than men 【解析】 根据文章第四段可知。文章只是说调查涉及老年人,但并不都是老年人,故排除B项。选项D不是造成调查结果不准确的原因。 【答案】 A 64.The author aims to tell us that . A.womens minds perform better than mens B.mens minds decline mo
68、re with age C.everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older D.a survey on humans mind decline was done recently 【解析】 根据文章第一段可知。 【答案】 B C Dear Friend, The recent success of childrens books has made the general public aware that theres a huge market out there.
