2、She paused,the longest pause of my short life,and answered,“Yes.”My heart jumped.“Can the mailman go there?”I asked. “No,but I have an idea.”Mum drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon.I asked her what it was for.“Just wait,honey.Youll see.”Mum told me to write my letter.Eagerly,I got

11、, are realizing weve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Clomps who says of her students“so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes.

16、d wealth and other comforts of life,one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy.This arises from the different ways in which they consider things,persons,events and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant p
17、arts of conversation,the well prepared dishes,the goodness of the wine and the fine weather.They enjoy all the cheerful things.Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.Therefore,they are continually dissatisfied.By their remarks,they sour the pleasure of society,offend

55、 of the classical songs.C.The words to the big music hits.参考答案 一、阅读理解1.答案： 1.C; 2.D; 3.D; 4.C解析： 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了女儿想和已故的父亲通信,这使母亲很为难。但聪明的母亲用红气球作为邮递员把女儿写给父亲的信寄往天堂,让女儿感到父亲还活着。1.C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“She paused,the longest pause of my short life,and answered,Yes.”可知,母亲停顿了很长时间,这意味着她思考了较长的时间才回答了女儿的问题。这说明女儿的问题很
56、难回答。故选C项。2.D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“My heart jumped.”可知,“我”很高兴。故选D项。3.D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“No matter what he suffered.became something beautiful.”可知,雨就像父亲经历的艰难时光。故选D项。4.C 主旨大意题。本文是一篇记叙文,文章以红气球为主线贯穿整篇文章,红气球也象征着父亲。故选C项。2.答案： 1.B; 2.A; 3.C解析： 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文章,本文介绍了父母亲对孩子疏于管教,听之任之对孩子的学习带来的负面影响,建议父母严格要求自己的孩子。1.B 细节理解题
57、。根据第一段“This is for your own goodthese are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin.”(几年前母亲经常说“这是为了你好”来要求我把事情做好)即作者的母亲过去是很注重纪律的,对作者要求严格。可知,故选B项。2.A 词义猜测题。根据后面的句子“.in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school”可知,指在这段时期里,
58、让孩子做他们想做的事情。故选A项。3.C 主旨大意题。文章在第三段中提及父母为孩子做了太多的事情,放任孩子自由,导致孩子没有受到挫折的打击,所以应该对孩子有更高的要求。故选C项。3.答案： 1.D; 2.B; 3.C解析： 生活中有些人拥有相同的健康、财富和生活条件,但由于考虑事情、人物、事件的角度不同,一些人感到幸福,而另一些人则感到不幸福。由于这些不幸福的人处处冒犯别人,其结果只能是处于被孤立的境地。1.D 推理判断题。从第二段第三句话“Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.”可以看出
59、另一些人感到不幸福的原因。2.B 词义猜测题。从该短语后的“.offend (hurt) many people,and make themselves disagreeable everywhere”可以猜出 “sour the pleasure of society” 的正确含义。3.C 主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是那些感到不幸福的人处处冒犯别人,若长此以往,则只能处于被孤立的境地,所以他们应改变自己的习惯。二、七选五4.答案： F; G; D; A; E解析： 颜色的关系紧密。我们对某种颜色和人的偏爱是与生俱来的.不同的颜色对我们的影响是不同的。暖色调让人更快乐,更积极,工作效率更高。冷色
60、调让人悲观、压抑。全文介绍颜色和性格的关系。F项与上文中的”Do you like yellow?相呼应,且与下文中的quiet, shy,and you would rather follow than lead形成对比。根据空后的” as soon as you opened your eyes,or at least as soon as you could see clearlyn 可知,我们对某种颜色的喜爱是与生俱来的。故G项符合语境。根据空后的叙述可知,颜色影响人的心情。D项总领下文,是下文的主题句。上文说暖色调让人快乐和放松,下文用事例说明了黑色给人带来的不利影响,故此处选A(另
61、一方面,黑色令人沮丧),此句起承上启下的作用。根据下文可知,暖色调的机器比冷色调的机器使工人工作更好,事故更少。E项呼应下文。三、完形填空5.答案： 1.A; 2.C; 3.C; 4.B; 5.D; 6.B; 7.B; 8.C; 9.A; 10.B; 11.B; 12.B; 13.D; 14.B; 15.C; 16.A; 17.D; 18.B; 19.C; 20.D解析： 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述Alvin一家三口在探亲回家的路上遭遇大雪,后来汽车无法启动,夫妇两人带着让孩子活下去的信念艰难前行,最终获救。1.A 考查形容词。根据下文“Alvin and Clare talked and lau
62、ghed happily.”可知他们很兴奋。2.C 考查动词。根据上文语境以及even可判断出Alax是开心的,故smiled符合语境。3.C 考查动词。根据上文语境,一家人开开心心,说明他们很享受这次旅行。4.B 考查动词。根据But和下文“It was starting to snow.”可判断出事情发生了变化。5.D 考查动词。根据上文“Alvin sped up the car,”可判断出Alvin希望能在天黑前到家。6.B 考查动词。根据前文“But it was too dangerous to drive fast now.”可知Alvin不得不降低车速。7.B 考查名词。根据常
63、识,车应该是在公路上行驶,所以highway符合语境。8.C 考查动词。句意:公路上的雪越来越厚了,以至于很难停留在公路上。故应选stay。9.A 考查连词。根据前后两句话的意思可判断出它们是顺承关系,故用and。10.B 考查动词。句意:看来雪不会停了。end符合语境。11.B 考查动词。根据上文“Shall we stay in the car waiting to be frozen to death or walk ahead through the snow?”可判断此处是Clare表达了在这两个建议之间做的选择,所以用prefer(更喜欢)。12.D 考查逻辑关系。根据下文“Soo
64、n they lost their 48 and had to walk aimlessly on and on.”可知更糟糕的情况发生了。13.C 考查名词。根据下文“walk aimlessly”可知他们迷路了。14.B 考查形容词。根据上文“They were not afraid of the dark.But they were.”可判断出答案。15.C 考查形容词。根据前文,他们担心孩子被冻死,所以他们要努力让孩子活下来。16.A 考查动词。句意:他们轮流睡觉和休息,然后继续前行。slept符合语境。17.D 考查名词。根据上文“They had countless falls b
65、ut each time true love encouraged them .”可知他们摔倒后,一想起孩子,就受到鼓舞站起来,抬起脚,继续前行。18.B 考查名词。根据下文可知Alvin的父母,警察和当地人帮助了他们。19.C 考查名词。根据下文的“have their feet cut off”可知应填couple。20.D 考查不定代词。根据上文的“Fortunately”可判断出little Alax没受什么严重的冻伤。四、语法填空6.答案： an; production; growers; its; who; visiting; Dried; As; drank; was creat
66、ed解析： 本文介绍了中国茶叶的历史,神农在一次非常偶然的情况下发现了茶叶,从而开启了中国茶文化。1.an 本句意为“茶是中国传统中非常重要的一部分”,表示“一”用不定冠词;又因important以元音音素开始,故填an。2.production 空格处在句中充当主语,故用produce的名词形式,表示“生产”,为不可数名词。3.growers 由and producers可知,意思是“几代的种植者及制造商们”,表示“种植者”用growers,注意要用复数形式。4.its 在名词varieties前作定语用形容词性物主代词。5.who 引导非限制性定语从句并在从句中作主语,先行词为Empero
67、r Shennong,用关系代词who。6.visiting 因主句主语he与visit之间为主动关系,故用动词-ing形式作状语。7.Dried 表示“干枯的”叶子,用过去分词作定语。8.As 句意为“作为一名科学家,神农对这种新的液体很感兴趣”,表示“作为”用as。9.drank 因与was interested和found并列,三个并列的谓语动词应时态一致,都用一般过去时,故填drank。10.was created 因tea与create之间为被动关系,故要用被动语态;而in 2737 BC是表示过去的时间状语,故用一般过去时的被动语态。五、书面表达7.答案： People incre
