61、 That might be true, yet it seemed to be unreal. The more honest answer was that I knew it would be difficult, but I wanted to try anyway._17_ This tough situation led me to hesitate during the interviews. It also recalled my past experience of being interviewed when an interviewer asked me to give
62、an example of a time when I had been caring. The answer that came to mind was that I volunteered at a nursing home and felt honored to sit with the patients and listen to their stories.

69、aned it up”(我告诉他们,有个住院医生吐了,我就清理了),空格后说“That wasnt caring and it suggested that my best quality was skillful at using mop”(这不是关心,这表明我最好的品质是熟练地使用拖把),因此B选项I immediately felt embarrassed(我立刻感到很尴尬)说明了作者清理呕吐物是让人尴尬的,因此B选项位于空格处起着承上启下的作用,因此B选项切合题意,故选B。【19题详解】空格后说“I had learned the significance of being true
70、to myself. So I answered simply, With difficulty”(我明白了做真实的自己的意义。所以我简单地回答:“很难”),及第二段的“This tough situation led me to hesitate during the interviews”( 这种艰难的局面让我在面试中犹豫不决),因此作者在回答这个问题的时候是虽然犹豫了但是最后还是回答了,因此A选项I hesitated but not for long(我犹豫了,但没多久)切合题意,故选A。【20题详解】空格前说“Actually, the exam is about something
71、 I am well familiar with: me”(其实,考试是关于我很熟悉的东西:我),F选项Its not about right answers but about being yourself(重要的不是“正确”的答案,而是做你自己)中的being yourself与上文的me相一致,因此F选项切合题意,故选F。第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For the past five years, I have been writing a book.

87、处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Stage schools often act as agencies to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name stage school are those few schools _36_ children enjoy the time with a training for the theatre and a general education. A visit to such schools will leave you in no d
88、oubt that the children enjoy _37_ (them). After all, what lively children wouldnt settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, _38_ acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day? Then of course these are time for the children _39_ (make) a name and make
89、little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much _40_ (profession) work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 _41_ (limit) to 40 days in the year; those over 13 to 80 days. The schools admit that not all children will
90、be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens _42_ those who dont make it? While all the _43_ (lead) schools say they place great _44_ (important) on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this _45_ (be) not always the case.【答案】36. where 37
91、. themselves 38. and 39. to make 40. professional 41. are limited 42 to 43. leading 44. importance 45. is【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文,文章对stage school(戏剧学校)这种特殊的学校进行了介绍。【36题详解】考查定语从句关系副词。句意:更配得上“戏剧学校”这个名字的,是少数几个孩子们能同时享受到戏剧表演训练和通用教学教育的学校。分析句子结构,设空处之后为定语从句,先行词是schools(学校),在从句中充当地点状语,故使用关系副词where进行指代并引导从句,本题填where。【
92、37题详解】考查固定短语和反身代词。句意:到这些学校去参观一下,你就会确信孩子们过得很开心。enjoy oneself为固定短语,表示“玩得开心,过得愉快”,them对应的反身代词为themselves,故填themselves。【38题详解】考查连词。句意:毕竟,什么活泼可爱的孩子会不喜欢半天做和普通学校一样的功课,半天搞表演、唱歌、跳舞这些活动呢?分析语境,该空前后分别是孩子们半天的安排,一半做功课,一半学表演,构成了学校的一天。因而前后是并列关系,使用and连接,故填and。【39题详解】考查动词不定式。句意:当然,这是给孩子们在大型演出中出名并赚点小钱的时间。for sb. to do
93、 sth.(给某人去做某事)在英语中是一个常用结构,本句中在名词time后作定语,表示“给孩子们去获得名声和赚钱的时间”,故此处非谓语动词用不定式,填to make。【40题详解】考查形容词。句意:有些戏剧学校在孩子很小的时候就给了他们太多专业性的工作。修饰名词应使用形容词,profession的形容词形式为professional,构成professional work(专业性的工作,专业工作,业务),这里具体指专业的正式演出,故填professional。【41题详解】考查主谓一致和被动语态。句意:13岁以下的儿童一年不得超过40天(那些小于13岁的儿童被限制在一年40天以内)。分析语境,
94、those指代those children,儿童是“被限制”的,应使用被动语态,be limited to是固定短语,意为“被限制在,限于”;此外,主语those为复数,根据主谓一致原则,谓语使用复数,且全篇均为一般现在时,故填are limited。42题详解】考查介词。句意:那么那些没有成功的人身上发生了什么呢?sth. happen to sb.是固定结构,表示“某事发生于某人身上”,故填to。【43题详解】考查现在分词。句意:虽然所有的一流学校(领头学校)都说他们非常重视孩子们有好的学习成果,但事实似乎表明情况并非总是如此。修饰名词用形容词,故可将动词lead变为现在分词leading
95、(引领的,主要的,领导的),作形容词,故填leading。【44题详解】考查名词。句意:虽然所有的一流学校(领头学校)都说他们非常重视孩子们有好的学习成果,但事实似乎表明情况并非总是如此。分析语境和句子结构,place在句中做动词,表示“放置”,动词后接宾语,故应将形容词important转变为名词importance作宾语,place importance on(重视,注重)是固定搭配,故填importance。【45题详解】考查谓语动词。句意:虽然所有的一流学校(领头学校)都说他们非常重视孩子们有好的学习成果,但事实似乎表明情况并非总是如此。分析语境,suggest在句中不表示“建议”,而
96、是“表明,显示,暗示”的意思,故其后接普通的宾语从句,不使用虚拟语气。全篇用一般现在时,从句主语为this,即从句谓语用第三人称单数,故填is。第四部分写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节(满分15分)46. 假设你是英语课代表,你发现许多同学英语基础较差,打算在明天英语课前的演讲中号召大家阅读英文小说。请写一篇演讲稿,内容包括:1. 阅读的益处;2. 阅读的方法。注意:1. 写作词数应为80左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。_【答案】One possible version:Good morning, my dear classmates!
