41、sidering Ccorrecting Dreading答案与解析“我”九岁的时候，发现妈妈刻苦学习法律想成为一名律师，妈妈还同时做着模特，与父亲一起开办公司，还是五个孩子的母亲。妈妈的这一切努力深深地影响了“我”，使“我”能够勇敢地面对每一个挑战，并且使“我”觉得生活中到处充满了希望。36B本题考查短语的变式运用。play a role in“在中起作用；在中扮演角色”。句意：直到多年后我才弄明白做模特在您的生活中起着什么作用。37A本题考查动词短语辨析。save every penny“节约每一分钱”；make every penny“挣每一分钱”。由后面的定语从句you earned可

43、困惑的，迷惑不解的”；disappointed“失望的”。由下文的问句可知作者对妈妈的学习表示困惑。42B由于作者当时还是个九岁的小女孩，因此，她学习是为了考试，因此，她认为妈妈的学习也是为了考试。句意：您为什么在做我要做的事呢背诵课本，还要参加考试？43D本题考查情态动词的用法。could“能够”，表示人的能力；must，“必须，一定”；ought to“应当，应该”； need“需要”。句意：我不知道妈妈也能做律师。44A本题考查动词短语搭配。ring in ones ears“在某人耳边回响”。句意：在我小的时候，那句话(在一生中，你可以做你想做的任何事)一直回响在我耳边。45Cface

45、，故C项正确。句意：您睿智的话语印在我年轻的心灵上，我突然感到了实现梦想的无限自由。49D本题考查动词短语辨析。come back“回来”；close down“倒闭”；go by“过去；经过”；open up“打开”。句意：我的世界打开了。50A本题考查名词词义辨析。hope“希望”； hardship“困难”；harmony“和谐”；sadness“悲哀”。由状语从句的内容可知，作者的生活充满了希望。句意：我开始了我充满梦想的生活，看到了我个人和事业中的无尽的机会。51A本题考查副词词义辨析。constantly“始终，一直”；shortly“不久；立刻”； hardly“几乎不”；nea
46、rly“将近，几乎”。联系全文内容可知A项正确。52C本题考查either.or.的搭配形式。53B本题考查名词词义辨析。description“描述”；statement“陈述；表明”；praise“表扬”；introduction“介绍”。由第44空前的that statement可知B项正确。句意：由于受到您的话的启发，我在人生的旅途中毅然前行。54D本题考查副词词义辨析。secretly“悄悄地，秘密地”；curiously“好奇地”；carelessly“粗心地”；eagerly“热切地”。句意：由于受到您的话的启发，我在人生的旅途中毅然前行，不再害怕犯错误，并能热切地迎接每一个挑战

48、away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.As she walked slowly to the elevator, I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets that had been hung on her window. “I
49、love it.” she said with the happiness of an eightyearold having just been presented with a new puppy.“Mrs Jones, you havent seen the room.just wait.”“That doesnt matter.” she replied.“Happiness is something you decide ahead of time.

50、 arranged. Its how I arranged my mind. I have already decided to love it. Its a decision I make every morning when I wake up.

51、ou take what youve put in. So, my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories.

53、nd to be happy58Which of the following words can best describe Mrs Jones?AProud. BCheerful.CDetermined. DHonest.答案与解析56C推理判断题。由第一段知这位老太太来到了一家疗养院，由第三段第一句可知，作者在为老人介绍她的小房间。由此推出作者是在这家疗养院工作。57D推理判断题。由最后一段可知，琼斯夫人认为房间里的家具并不重要，她认为快乐是一件提前决定的事情。由此推知，她之所以快乐是因为她早已决定要快乐。58B推理判断题。根据整篇文章的描述可知，琼斯夫人是一个积极乐观、快乐的人。BIf
54、there is a building which symbolises a countrysuch as the Eiffel Tower for France and Sydney Opera House for Australiathen it has to be the Taj Mahal for India.It was set up by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. From the time they got married, they wouldnt be separated.
55、She followed him to wars, advised him on affairs of state, and was loved by his people for her good work. But she died in 1631 during childbirth. The emperor was heartbroken and had the Taj Mahal built as a sign of his love.It took more than 20 years for the Taj Mahal to be built. Workers were broug
56、ht in, not only from all over India, but from Central Asia too. A total of 20,000 people worked on the building.In 1657, Shah Jahan fell ill, and in 1658 his son Aurangzeb, imprisoned (囚禁) his father and seized power. Shah Jahan stayed in prison until his death in 1666. He was finally buried there w
57、ith his wife he could never forget.The Taj Mahal is definitely worth more than a single visit. As it is built with white marble stones, its character changes in different lights. It looks more beautiful at sunrise and sunset. At sunset, for example, the colour of the Taj changes from white to yellow
58、, then to pink. As the moon rises, it turns a silvery white.To show respect to the Taj, tourists are asked to take off their shoes during their visit.59Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal to _.Amake it symbolise India Bmemorise his wifeCshow his great power Dgive his wife a present60Which of the
59、following about the Taj Mahal is NOT true?AIt is a symbol of India.BIt took over 20 years to build the Taj Mahal.CAll workers building the Taj Mahal came from Central Asia.DThe Taj Mahal was built with white marble stones.61According to the passage, we know that Shah Jahan _.Alived a hard life in hi
60、s last few yearsBlost his life just because of his old ageCwas not popular with his people at that timeDtreated his son badly when he was young62The word“seize” in the fourth paragraph may most probably mean _.Athrow BmemoriseCgive Dcapture答案与解析59B细节考查题。根据文章第二段首句“It was set up by Emperor Shah Jahan
61、in 1653 in memory of his wife”，可以知道修建泰姬陵的目的是为了纪念死去的妻子。60C细节考查题。根据文章第三段中的“Workers were brought in, not only from all over India, but from Central Asia too.”可知，有些工人是从中亚来的，但不是全部。61A推理判断题。根据文章第四段的描述可知：他最后被自己的儿子夺权，在囚禁中度过余生。因此断定他最后几年的生活肯定非常艰难。62D词义猜测题。seize power“夺取权力”，D项意义最接近。C(2011全国大纲)Wanted, Someone f
