12、When the sun shines，the rocks become very hot.If these rocks are suddenly cooled，they may crack.Ice also plays a part in making soil.Water in the cracks can turn into ice in cold weather.As this happens，it becomes bigger and the cracks become wider，and finally break up into smaller pieces.1According

23、趣事。这是上一代人给下一代人的富有爱心的纪念，是女儿生活的永久记录 1解析：第13空后的信息“her birthday approaches”暗示了此题选C。答案：C2解析：我在Annual Letter上边写满那年发生在她身上的趣事。fill.with表示“使充满”，符合语境。答案：B3解析：空中的词和前边的hardships都表示那年发生的事情，每个人的生活都会有苦有甜，所以joys“愉快的事情”最恰当。disappointment失望；sadness悲伤；treatment治疗，对待。答案：B4解析：既然记载下来作为纪念，当然写的应该是生活中重要的事情，故用important。答案：D5
24、解析：从后边的future可知，应该用predictions，my predictions for the future表示“我对未来的预测”。答案：A6解析：此句采用了add.to.结构，表示“增添，添加”。答案：D7解析：此处表示许多其他纪念品，应该用other“其他的”。答案：A8解析：我在信上附上照片、礼物、报道卡片和许多其他纪念品，否则随着一年年的过去，这些东西都会消失。答案：C9解析：下文中的“I take out that folder”暗示出了此题的答案是folder“文件夹”。我终年在桌子的抽屉里保存着一个文件夹，我把我给她的下一封年信的信封中要包括的东西都放在文件夹里。答案
25、：D10解析：include包括。答案：B11解析：每一周，我都对我能想起的将来要回忆的写在她的年信中的当周要事做简短的笔记。think of记得，想起；think about 考虑到，关心；think over仔细考虑；think for为考虑。答案：A12解析：根据语境此处应用recall“回忆”。答案：C13解析：当她的生日临近时，我取出那个文件夹，发现它充满了观点、想法、诗、卡片、财宝、故事、事件和各种各样的回忆。根据句意，此处应该用引导时间状语从句的连词When。答案：B14解析：overflow withbe filled with，表示充满，作宾语补足语时前者用现在分词，而后者用
26、过去分词。答案：D15解析：前边的and连接的是两个定语从句，空中的词作的是transcribe的宾语，所以用关系代词which。答案：C16解析：往年信上抄写一年的趣事，用eagerly“热切地”最为恰当。curiously好奇地；sadly悲伤地；willingly情愿地。答案：A17解析：作为纪念装在信封里的当然是值得珍藏的东西，所以用treasure“珍宝”最为恰当。答案：D18解析：生日是人生中很特别的事情，所以用occasion“特别的事情”。答案：A19解析：这是一个上一代人给下一代人的富有爱心的礼物。loving“富有爱心的，充满深情的”，符合语境。答案：C20解析：这封年信是
27、关于女儿生活的永久记录，permanent永久性的，符合语境。temporary暂时的；cautious小心的；powerful强有力的。答案：B.阅读理解语篇解读起初，地球的表面都是巨大的岩石，后来，它们逐渐变成了土壤。这其中的原因是什么？本文将带你探究其中的奥秘 1解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的描述，尤其是“Then slowly.”可知土壤的形成是一个非常缓慢的过程。答案：A2解析：推理判断题。结合最后一段中的内容可推测温度的急剧变化会加速岩石的碎裂。答案：C3解析：正误判断题。根据第二段前两句中的内容可知巨大的岩石碎裂成小块岩石的方式很多，风、水、热，冷等都是其中的因素，由此可推断B
28、项内容错误。答案：B4解析：主旨大意题。第一段概述了文章的大意，根据本段最后两句可知本文叙述的是岩石形成土壤的过程，下文分述的是岩石的碎裂方式，B项不具有概括性，故排除。答案：A语篇解读本文为记叙文。作者大学毕业后被父亲的一个开衬衫厂的朋友雇用为短期顾问，结果作者对他的调查结果很是吃惊。欲知详情，请读文章 5解析：细节理解题。第三段说由于最后的产品无人检查，结果使有些装在箱子里要运送的衬衫缺纽扣、领子、甚至缺袖子，由此可知，Mr Hobbs的工厂生产的衬衫质量很差。答案：A6解析：细节理解题。由第一段的最后一句可知，作者被请到工厂去的原因是工厂的效率很低，也就是生产不够快。答案：B7解析：细节判断题。缺乏机器的事文中没有提到，所以买机器的事不可能发生。根据第四段的信息”除了半小时的午休时间，白天再没有放松的时间”可知A项的事情可能会发生；根据第三段的第二句”无人检查最后的产品”可知B项的事情可能会发生；根据第四段的倒数第二句可知D项的事情可能会发生。答案：C8解析：推理判断题。虽然四个选项在第五段都被提到过，但A、B、D都是因为C引起的，所以C项是Big Jim可能会被解雇的主要原因。答案：C
