15、的人口如此之多感到惊讶，并预测到本世纪末地球人口将达到100亿。在“with+宾语+宾补”结构中，increase和population构成主动关系，应用现在分词形式。动词predict和谓语are之间有连词and，所以应用谓语形式。根据“experts are amazed”可知，此处应用一般现在时。故选C。2. In the past, travellers from Europe to Indonesia _ months at sea, but now we just have to sit on a plane for a few hours, so in some ways the

16、 planet seems to _.A. have spent, get smallerB. spent, be getting smallerC. had spent, get smallerD. would spent, be getting small【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查一般过去时、非谓语动词和比较级。句意：过去，从欧洲到印度尼西亚的旅行者要在海上度过几个月，但现在我们只需要在飞机上坐上几个小时，所以从某些方面来说，地球似乎越来越小了。根据“In the past”可知，第一个空格应用一般过去时。根据“but now we just have to sit on a plan

17、e for a few hours”可知，此处是指现在与过去相比，地球似乎越来越小了。seem to be doing意为“似乎正在做某事”，此处使用to do不定式的进行式表示正在进行。表示“越来越小”应用形容词比较级smaller。故选B。3. In fact, people from different continents prefer to_ the diversity of products _ by various companies.A. enjoying, madeB. enjoying, makingC. enjoy, makingD. enjoy, made【答案】D【解

18、析】【分析】【详解】考查固定短语和非谓语动词。句意：事实上，来自不同大陆的人们更喜欢享受不同公司生产的产品的多样性。第一空为短语prefer to do sth.，表示“更喜欢做某事”；第二空make在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语the diversity of products构成被动关系，故应用过去分词作定语。故选D。4.

19、】A【解析】【分析】【详解】考查倍数表达。句意：在缅甸，现在的人口已经是1971年的两倍。此处为“A+be+倍数+as+形容词/副词的原级as”倍数表达，表示“是的几倍”。故选A。5. “_ survive the tiger attack.” the little boy thought to himself.A. I am not possible toB.

20、虎的袭击中活不下来”。likely 的用法为“ It is likely that.”和 “sb be likely to do sth” 。possible一般不用表示人的词作主语，但若真的要用表示人的词作主语，possible后接不定式，构成“It is possible（for sb）to do sth ”。副词是用来修饰动词的,一般放在情态动词、be动词和助动词之后,实义动词之前。综合以上分析。故选B项。6. _ by Arun with a number of customers, the idea of developing solar-power batteries for pe

21、ople in India would work definitely.A. Being testedB. Having been testedC. Having testedD. To be tested【答案】B【解析】【分析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：经过阿伦和一些客户的测试，为印度人开发太阳能电池的想法肯定会成功。分析句子结构可知，“_ by Arun with a number of customers”作状语，应用非谓语，结合句意，“test(测试)”在谓语动作“would work”之前发生，所以应用完成式形式；该词“test”和主语“the idea of developi

22、ng solar-power batteries for people in India”为被动关系，所以应用被动形式。综上，应用现在分词完成时被动形式作状语，故填Having been tested，故选B。7.

23、。句意：被绳子缠住的老人看到鱼叉被扎进鲨鱼的脑袋里。第一空为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词The old man，先行词在从句中作主语，与逻辑主语构成被动关系，根据后文saw可知用一般过去时的被动语态；第二空为“see+宾语+宾补”结构，the fishing spear与throw构成被动关系，故用过去分词作宾补。故选C。8. After months of research there was little hope _ the lost car might be found.A. whenB. whereC. whichD. that【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查同位语从句。句意：经过几个月

24、的调查，找到那辆丢失的汽车的希望不大。“the lost car might be found”是对名词hope的解释说明，所以为hope的同位语从句。从句中不缺少成分和意义，所以应用that引导。故选D。9. When the questions on my mind _, I dont doubt _ Ive done a good job.A. gets answered, thatB. get answering, whetherC. get answered, thatD. gets answering, whether【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查“get done”结构、主谓一致

25、和宾语从句连接词。句意：当我脑子里的问题得到回答时，我肯定我做得很好。分析句子可知，when引导的从句为一般现在时，主语为 the questions，与answer为被动关系，故用“ get+过去分词”表示被动，谓语动词用复数。第二个空要填宾语从句的连接词，dont doubt 后的连接词用that，故选C项。10.

26、yD. they were how excited【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：你想象不出当他们收到这些好的圣诞礼物的时候他们是多么的高兴。imagine后接宾语从句。这里how引导的是感叹句作宾语，how +形容词+主语+谓语，excited是形容词，是被感叹的词，故选B。Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

83、reach his record.【答案】45. B 46. A 47. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者在参加一次跑步比赛时，由于想把对手们甩在后面，因此打乱了自己的比赛节奏，最终的比赛结果不尽人意。通过反思这次经历，作者悟出了一个道理：骄傲不能代替节奏。【45题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But the race that day felt unique from the get-go. For one thing, I liked the course. It was my teams home course, one I was used to running during

84、 practices.（但是那天的比赛从一开始就给人一种独特的感觉。首先，我喜欢这门课。这是我的球队的主场，也是我在训练时习惯跑的）”可知，作者对主场很熟悉。故选B。【46题详解】词义猜测题。根据上文“My body was telling me to slow down. My pride, however, said “No!

85、苦，但我还是保持着前进的步伐，一直走到了森林里。agony的意思是“痛苦”。故选A。【47题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“ I finished the race, but in nowhere near the time I could have if Id paced myself well from the beginning.（我完成了比赛，但如果我从一开始就控制好自己的节奏，我可能会达到记录）”可知，他完成了比赛，但没有达到他的纪录。故选D。(B)TV VOICE PRO AIR$299 USD Hearing Specialists Develop New Ultra-Lig

Blackstone Library, not far from Lake Michigan. You could easily miss the building if you didnt know what you were looking for.

99、 But once you were inside, you could never mistake it for anything else. We passed through two sets of heavy brass doors to the lobby of the library. And if we turned right then, we could see an alcove with tables; this led, in turn, to a big reading room with a gigantic and ancient globe that sat i

100、n front of the largest windows.

I could tell from looking at the shelf that shed written a lot of books, but I didnt know anything about her. I had learned

102、 from experience that titles werent everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home, and every bad book I brought home meant one less book to read until we went back in two weeks. So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs:Christmas wont b

111、to be free just as we were struggling for civil rights. I had heard Daddy talking about the struggle, arguing with the television as someone discussed it on a news show.(我喜欢看非洲，不同国家用不同的颜色标记，比如比属刚果和罗得西亚，并试着记住哪些国家在为自由而战，就像我们在为民权而战一样。我曾听爸爸谈论过这场斗争，就像新闻节目中有人讨论和争论的一样)”可推知，作者父亲对民权运动有强烈的感情。故选B。【52题详解】推理判断题。

112、根据第二段中“I had learned from experience that titles werent everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home, and every bad book I brought home meant one less book to read until we went back in two weeks.(我的经验告诉我，书名并不代表一切。一本在书架上听起来很棒的书，一旦你把它带回家，可能就会变得乏味，而我带回家的每一本坏书，都

113、意味着在我们两周后回去之前，可以读的书少了一本)”可推知，作者很可能同意书名有时会误导人。故选D。【53题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“One Saturday, as I wandered through the young adult section, I saw a title: Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott. I could tell from looking at the shelf that shed written a lot of books, but I didnt know anything about her.(一个星期六，我在青

Even the freedom to watch weekend television held

115、no appeal for me in the wake of Alcotts story.( 我读啊，读啊，读小妇人，一直读到该回家的时候。除了睡觉和吃饭等一些必要的干扰外，我一直读到最后才罢休。在奥尔科特的故事之后，甚至周末看电视的自由对我也没有吸引力)”可推知，作者在文中引用了小妇人中的几句话，是在试图传达一项意外发现的影响。故选A。【54题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It was about girls, for one thing, girls who could almost be like me, especially Jo. It seemed to me a shame

116、 that she wasnt Black; then our similarity would be complete. She loved to read, she loved to make up plays, she hated acting ladylike, and she had a dreadful temper. I had found a kindred spirit.(首先，它是关于女孩的，那些几乎可以像我一样的女孩，尤其是Jo。在我看来，她不是黑人是一种耻辱；这样我们就完全相似了。她喜欢读书，喜欢编剧本，讨厌表现得像个贵妇人，她的脾气糟透了。我找到了一个志趣相投的人)”

117、可推知，作者列出了一些关于Jo的事情，主要是为了强调作者与Jo的比较。故选C。Section C （4分每题一分）Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Can I train myself to need less sleep?As an experiment for his high-schoo

118、l science fair in 1964, a 17-year-old San Diego boy named Randy Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours. That is 11 days. The project attracted the attention of the Stanford sleep researchers William Dement. Dement and other researchers took turns watching and assessing the young mans consciousness. _55_

119、 Nor did he seem to suffer any permanent setbacks. Dement said that on day 10, Gardner even beat him at pinball. I asked David Dinges, the chief of the division of sleep at the University of Pennsylvania, how many people could do anything close to that without dying. He replied that when animals are

120、 sleep- deprived constantly, they will suffer serious biological consequences. Death is one of those consequences”. That said, cases like Gardners- of people who suffered great sleep deprivation without major setbacks-are well documented. _56_ Dinges said that we probably do have people among usand

121、not necessarily 1 percent; there may be many more than thatwho can actually tolerate sleep loss better than others. This proposition has been borne out in studies of participants in transoceanic sailing races, which did not afford them the luxury of long blocks of sleep. _57_ The concept of sleeping

122、 in short bursts has spread since those races began, in the 1960s. Today, a small global community of people practices polyphasic sleeping”，based on the idea that by dividing your sleep into short bursts, you can get away with less of it. _58_ And he notes that even for the 1 percent (or so) who can

123、 survive on less sleep and function well cognitively, we still dont know how the practice might be affecting metabolism, mood, and many other factors. “ You may be cheerful, but not cognitively fit. Or you may be cognitively fit, but hard to be around because youre pushy or hyperactive.A. The winner

124、s tended to be the people who slept the least, often in multiple short bursts.B. The crucial finding was that throughout their time in the study, the sixers thought they were functioning perfectly well.C.

125、aps 1 percent of the population, seem to survive on only four or five hours a night.D. But when the doctor put patients in a lab to make certain they stayed awake, performance suffered.E. Though it is possible to train oneself to sleep in short bursts instead of a single nightly block, Dinges says i

126、t does not seem possible to train oneself to need less sleep per 24-hour cycle.F. By all accounts, he took no stimulant medications.【答案】55. F 56. C 57. A 58. E【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对一些人只需要很少睡眠但可以保持良好的认知功能的现象进行了介绍，并对人们是否能训练自己需要较少睡眠介绍了了专家的观点。【55题详解】根据后文“Nor did he seem to suffer any permanent setbacks.”(他

127、似乎也没有遭受任何永久的挫折。)可知，此处是指研究人员发现他没有经历过什么刺激和挫折，根据nor可知，空格处也是讲他没有经历过什么，所以选项F“大家都说，他没有服用兴奋剂。”切合文意。故选F。【56题详解】根据前文“That said, cases like Gardners- of people who suffered great sleep deprivation without major setbacks-are well documented.”(也就是说，像加德纳这样的案例遭受了严重的睡眠不足，却没有遭遇重大挫折的人们有很好的记载。)可知，此处是讲睡眠时间非常少的人，根据后文 “

128、we probably do have people among usand not necessarily 1 percent”(我们中间可能确实有人不一定达到1%)可知，空格处讲睡眠时间非常少的人可能占小于1%的比例。所以选项C“一小部分人，有时被称为短睡眠者 ，通常被认为约占人口的1%，似乎每晚只睡四五个小时。 ”切合文意。故选C。【57题详解】根据前文“there may be many more than thatwho can actually tolerate sleep loss better than others”(可能有更多的人比其他人更能忍受睡眠不足)和“This pr

129、oposition has been borne out in studies of participants in transoceanic sailing races, which did not afford them the luxury of long blocks of sleep.”(这一观点在对远洋航海比赛参与者的研究中得到了证实，这个比赛中他们不能享受长时间睡眠的奢侈。)可知，在这种比赛中需要睡眠越少的人越有优势，所以选项A“赢家往往是那些睡眠最少的人，而且往往是多次短暂睡眠。 ”切合文意。故选A。【58题详解】根据后文“And he notes that even for

130、the 1 percent (or so) who can survive on less sleep and function well cognitively, we still dont know how the practice might be affecting metabolism, mood, and many other factors. ”(他还指出，即使是1%左右的人，他们可以在较少的睡眠和良好的认知功能下生存，我们仍然不知道这种做法可能如何影响新陈代谢、情绪和许多其他因素。)可知，空格处应出现一个人名，并表明对较少睡眠的观点，根据前文“Today, a small gl

131、obal community of people practices “polyphasic sleeping”，based on the idea that by dividing your sleep into short bursts, you can get away with less of it.”(今天，一个全球小社区的人在实践“多相睡眠”，基于这样的想法，通过将你的睡眠分为短时间的爆发，你可以获得更少的睡眠。)可知，空格处应是对短时间睡眠的训练的观点，所以选项E “丁格斯说，尽管训练自己在短时间内入睡而不是在夜间的一个时间段内入睡是可能的，但似乎不可能训练自己在每24小时周期内

132、需要更少的睡眠。”切合文意。故选E。IV. Word formation（8分每题一分）59. Below we have collected such works for you to see how modern _ deal with the theme of contrasts.

138、个重视效率的人不会在无关紧要的事情上花太多时间。根据“A person who values efficiency”和never可知，此处是指一个重视效率的人不会在无关紧要的事情上花太多时间。所以应用形容词insignificant表示“不重要的”，作定语修饰名词issues。故填insignificant。V.
