41、ng to the picture below.Attention：1Finish the composition with NO LESS THAN 120 words.2Any real information related to the examinee and the school is not allowed to be mentioned in the composition.Vocabulary for reference: 跳房子：play hopscotch参考答案Part Section A1. B句意：“他将那些蔬菜半价出售了，而不是让蔬菜烂掉。”rather than
42、“而不是”，可连接平行结构；more than“比多，超过，与其说倒不如”，other than“除了”。 2. A句意：“只有通过反复不断的保养，机器才能运转顺滑。”only修饰状语提到句首引起倒装。主语是machines，operate指机器的运转状态，并非人的行为，所以用作不及物动词。 3. C考查非限制性定语从句。句意：“她带着她的三个朋友，他们三个中没有一个人我曾见过。”表示部分的词语of关系代词 在非限制性定语从句中指人只能用whom。 4. C句意：“要是没有免费的票，我是不会经常去看电影的。”本句是虚拟语气，把if省略，把had提前了。 5. Dso did I“我也是”；so
43、 I did“我确实如此”；D项符合语境。 6. C本题考查固定词组。a matter of.意为“是的问题”，如a matter of life and death“生死攸关的事情”，a matter of opinion“看法不同的问题”。 7. Creward“报酬”。“提供有关那个银行抢劫犯的信息以协助抓捕将得到报酬。”price“价格”；fund“基金”；profit“益处”。 8. A飞机起飞时间一般是固定时间，每次都在这个时间起飞。所以要用一般现在时。类似的用法还有客观真理、客观存在、科学事实等。 9. Baccording to “根据”，regardless of “不管，不
44、顾”，in addition to “另外”，in terms of “就而言”。“这所特殊学校接收所有的残疾学生，不管他们的教育水平和背景如何。” 10. D此题意为“把你的钥匙放在邻居那里，以防你有一天把自己锁在门外了”。in case译为“以免，以防”符合题意。ever since“自从”；even if“即便，尽管”；soon after“之后，不久”，也不合句意。11. Abut是介词，后接动词不定式。当谓语动词是do，does或did时，后接不带to的不定式；是其他动词时，后接带to的不定式。谓语是could do nothing，要填动词原形admit。 12. C考查名词性从句
45、的用法。在该题中that引导了一个同位语从句来解释说明news的内容，由于该题把同位语从句后置了，所以很多考生由于不能正确分析句子结构而错误选择了D项。13. B本题考查短语的区别：sooner or later“迟早”；once in a while“偶尔”；in the end“最后，结果”；more or less“几乎，差不多”。 14. A本题考查固定句型why not后加动词原形的用法，故答案为A项。 15. Dwheat是不可数名词，不能用others代替。the rest既可代可数名词，也可代不可数名词。 Section B16D我们宁愿“藏”在报纸的后面(而不愿意和周围的人交
46、流)。17D坐在一起的人们用这些薄薄的报纸来保持“距离”。18A“报纸”被取下来了。19B我“几乎”天天见到她。20C我们在等待司机的下一个“命令”。21A对我们中的很多人来说，“Good morning，neighbor”是那天我们说的第一句话。22D我们像小学生一样，齐声对身边的陌生人说着“Good morning，neighbor”。23C看到这样的情景，我们禁不住“笑了”。24C更多的是，有一种(人际关系)解冻的感觉。25B毕竟，说出“Good morning，neighbor.”也不是“很难”。26A司机不“需要”说什么了，因为大家都不看报纸了。27B分手时自然要说“再见”。Sect
47、ion C28nameda little girl named Liz “一个名叫利兹的小女孩”。29fromfrom表示血的来源。30whowho 引导定语从句，在从句中作主语。31illness用名词作宾语。32before“hesitate for a moment” 发生在 “taking a deep breath and saying”之前。33if句意：“如果这样做能挽救利兹，我愿意做。”34Asas引导时间状语从句，意为“在的过程中”。35his由后文的“his smile”可知此处填his。Part 36A根据文章第一段的“to create a nationwide eme
48、rgency alert(警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.”一句可知。选项B、C、D属于与本题无关的信息。37C根据文章第三段中的“The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission(FCC)”一句可知答案。其中task为动词，是本题的关键词。38C根据文章第五段的“Participation in the alert system by carrierstelecommunications companiesis voluntary”一句可知。39B根据文章“
49、They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.”一句可知选项A、C、D不正确。40A本题是一道逆向思维的题目。根据文章倒数第二段列举了一些需要对公众进行警告的内容，可以进行排查。Part Section A41January or February42.Preparation43.new clothes44.dumplings45.Give wishes46.Stay at home47.exchanged48.relatives and friends49.eating sweets50.lion and dragonSection B5
50、1The Arabs.52Basketball and volleyball.53To understand each other.54Because sports help to keep people healthy，happy and help them to live longer.Section C书面表达In the picture we see a group of children playing hopscotch happily while a boy is sitting in front of his computer，fully absorbed in a game.
51、This picture intends to show how children today and in the past spend their free time.In the old days，there was no modern equipment such as TV sets or computers，so children killed time by playing games outdoors.With the development of science and technology，children are so attracted by computer game
52、s that they become addicted and stay in front of the screen all day long.Unlike the kids playing hopscotch，a team game，the boy who tends to spend more time alone easily develops psychological problems such as a lack of a sense of cooperation and communication skills.In my opinion，interesting and popular as the computer game is，teenagers shouldnt lose themselves in it.Instead，its not bad to spare some time to do outdoor activities with friends or classmates，which will do good to both their physical and mental health.
