10、chool boys in those days did not take good care of their chairs and desks. There was a rule in our school that if anyone damaged his desk or chair, he would have to pay five dollars or the teacher would beat him in front of the whole school.”“One day I damaged my desk in some way, I had to pay five
11、dollars or be beaten before the whole school. My father said it would be too bad to have our family disgraced in front of the whole school.

14、chool and at home.答案与解析本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了马克吐温被问及自己第一次挣到钱是什么时候。他回忆说当时学校有个规定,破坏课桌的学生要么交五美元罚款要么挨打。马克吐温的父亲给了他五美元让他交给学校,打了他一顿。由于他已经挨了一次打,不再害怕挨打,所以他把五美元留下,在学校又挨了一次打。21A细节理解题。由文章第一段马克吐温所说的话可知他赚到第一笔钱时,还是个学生。22D细节理解题。由文章第二段可知他的父亲不想让全家人丢脸,故D项正确。23D推理判断题。由文章第二段和第三段可知他在家和学校各挨了一顿打。BAlbert was an ordinary worker in an
15、oil company in America. His workmates gave a nickname (绰号) “Four dollars a bucket” below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name.As time went by, people forgot his real name.

16、 invited Albert to come to his office.“Some people give you a nickname for Four dollars a bucket. Why arent you angry?” asked Rockefeller with some puzzlement in his eyes.“Oh! Mr Rockefeller! I like this nickname very much, because Four dollars a bucket is our companys advertisement. As long as some
17、one calls me Four dollars a bucket once, I think its free advertisement for our company. Its not necessary for me to get angry. Dont you think so, Mr Rockefeller?”“Oh! What a fantastic man!” Rockefeller said excitedly when hearing Alberts words, “Young man! Work harder, you must be successful in the
18、 future!

20、inary.26What would be the best title for this passage?AA Clever Way to Make AdvertisementsBAlbert and RockefellerCFour Dollars a BucketDThe Second Board Chairman答案与解析本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了美国石油公司的普通工人Albert。同事为他起了一个绰号“四美元一桶”,大家都叫他的绰号以至于忘了真名。他不生气,他认为这是在为公司做免费广告。后来他成了董事长,他认为:一个人如果没有办法做成大事,但一定要做好手头的小事,因为可能未来的成功是从
21、一件小事开始的。24D细节理解题。根据第四段中“Oh! Mr Rockefeller! I like this nickname very much, because Four dollars a bucket is our companys advertisement.”可知,他非常喜欢这个绰号,是因为“四美元一桶”是他们公司的广告,故选择D项。25B词义猜测题。根据后面洛克菲勒先生对艾伯特的鼓励,可知是赞美的话。只有good有赞美之意。故选择B项。26C主旨大意题。通过阅读短文可知本文就是告诉人们要从小事做起,而主人公这个绰号正好体现出了他注意细节问题的性格,C项最符合本文中心。故选择C项
22、。CHave you come across much western childrens literature?Most Englishspeaking children grow up with the same delightful set of fictional (小说的) characters. Winnie the Pooh involves a strange selections of animals such as a kangaroo, a pig, a donkey, a tiger, an owl and a bear, who live together in a
23、wood, leading fairy ordinary lives. Far more exciting and dangerous events take place in The Wind in the Willows, the story of the foolish Mr Toad and all his adventures.Talking animals is also the main characters in The Jungle Book and Just So Stories. In the latter we find lots of imaginative expl
24、anations as to why the world is like what it is.Far more laughter comes from Roald Dahis Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Whillie Wonka is the perfect adult in the eyes of children with all his clever ideas and endless supply of sweets. Also much loved is Bilbo Baggins, the funny little rabbit, wh
25、o ends up having adventures with wolves and dragons. Of course, the stories go on in the much more serious The Lord of the Rings, better read a few years later. A new star in the world of magic and childrens fiction is Harry Potter, the schoolboy who learns spells rather than maths. Adventures books
26、 remain popular, too. Although well over a century old now, Treasure Island is still an enthralling story with young Jim Hawkins dealing with secret maps and pirates. Such books make childhood a time of wonder and imagination.27Which of these is NOT mentioned as a character in Winnie the Pooh?28In w
27、hich book would you expect to find the chapter “How the tiger got his stripes”?AThe Wind in the Willows.BJust So Stories.CTreasure Island.DThe Lord of the Rings.29Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?ATreasure Island was written a long time ago.BRoald Dahis Charlie and t
28、he Chocolate Factory is a lighthearted book.CThe Lord of the Rings was published earlier than Harry Potter.DJim Hawkins wrote Treasure Island.30The underlined word “enthralling” in Paragraph 4 means _.AdisappointingBmodernCinterestingDfrightening答案与解析文章主要谈论的是西方儿童文学。大多数说英语国家的孩子,他们的成长都会伴随着一些相同的童话故事人物。
29、这些童话故事书大多以写动物为主,后来出现了与魔法有关的故事书。当然,冒险类的书籍依然受到孩子们的喜爱。27D细节理解题。根据第二段“Winnie the Pooh involves a strange selections of animals such as a kangaroo, a pig, a donkey, a tiger, an owl and a bear”可知,Winnie the Pooh出现的动物有袋鼠、小猪、驴、老虎、猫头鹰和熊,故事中没有出现兔子,故选D。28B推理判断题。根据第三段“In the latter we find lots of imaginative e
30、xplanations as to why the world is like what it is.”可知,关于世界为什么是现在这个样子,Just So Stories里有许多奇妙的解释,故选B。29D细节理解题。根据最后一段“Although well over a century old now, Treasure Island is still an enthralling story with young Jim Hawkins dealing with secret maps and pirates.”可知,金银岛出版一个世纪以来,一直很受追捧,其中的主人公是Jim Hawkins
31、,D项说Jim Hawkins是金银岛的作者,是错误的,故选D。30C词义猜测题。根据画线词前面一句“Adventures books remain popular, too.”可知,冒险类的故事书现在也很受欢迎,金银岛一书虽然走过了一个世纪的光景,但依然很受孩子们的喜爱。disappointing“令人失望的”;modern“当代的”;interesting“有趣的”;frightening“恐怖的”。C项与popular相近,故选C。第二节:(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There is one thi
32、ng that everyone wants more than anything else. _31_ They think that when they have enough money to buy such things as houses, farms, and cars, they will have the thing that everyone wants.Other people believe that if they know enough they will find this thing. _32_ Still others think that if they h

34、_ What will make one man happy may not make another man happy.

36、ill feel sad.GRead what different people have said about happiness.答案与解析本文讲到人们都想追求的东西幸福。31E前两段是并列关系,第二段以other people believe that.开头,呼应此处,故选E。32C前一句话“Other people believe that if they know enough they will find this thing”告诉我们,另外一些人认为如果他们知识渊博,他们就会找到自己想要的东西,本题是他们这种看法的结果。They study all their life in s
37、earch of it,故选C项。33A本段总结上文,引起下文,揭开人们所追求的答案:幸福。故选A项。34B由下文“What will make one man happy may not make another man happy.”可知本题选B。It does not mean the same to all men.“这并不意味着对所有的人都相同”。35G本段呼应前文,总结全篇,告诉我们如何找到幸福,故选G项。第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空
