31、n incredible find. They discovered paintings of remarkable beauty on the walls of a cave in Spain. Some scientists believed that these paintings were created by early humans from the Stone Age, between ten and thirty thousand years ago. Other scientists and the public did not believe the claim, but
32、over the years, it was proven correct. Our ancestors had incredible artistic talents.Most of the cave art that has been discovered has been found in Spain and France. A smaller number of such caves are located in Italy, Portugal, Russia, and other countries. Scientists believe that many more caves w
33、ill be discovered in the coming years, and are concentrating their efforts on Africa and the area between Europe and Asia. These two regions of the world were, populated first by humans.Cave art was carved or painted on the walls and roofs of caves, usually near the entrance. The entrance area was p
34、robably chosen to take advantage of daylight and to allow many people to view the paintings. In some cases, the art appears much deeper in caves and requires artificial light.

38、beach, water sports and night life. In fact, it is so modern and Americanized that you might think you were in southern California or Florida.But just a short two-hour hike from the town lie the ruins of the city of Chichen-Itza, one of the capitals of the lost Maya（玛雅）civilization. The center of th
39、e ruins of this city is the pyramid of El Castillo. The ancient Mayan religious people climbed this pyramid during festival to honor the Sun god. Tourists today climb it to view the architectural achievements of Chichen-Itza and to prove their fearlessness of heights and steep （陡峭的）climbs. There is
40、a sign in Spanish, admonishing visitors “Its dangerous to go up.” I gladly ignored it and started my climb.The climbing was tough. The steps were higher than one might normally take., but the climb was not fearful at all. From the top of the pyramid, I had a wonderful view of the ruins of this Mayan
41、 city. What was most striking to me was that just beyond the ruins of splendid structures, gardens, temples and what looks like a modern sports stadium, you could only see forests for miles and miles. It was almost as if some race had mysteriously come out of nowhere, built it up and then suddenly d
42、isappeared from the planet, leaving only stones in its space.The only remains on the top of the pyramid were the Temple of Kukulcan. During the festivals to worship the Sun god, only the high ranks would have the right to enter this temple.After shooting a few pictures, I realized it was time to go
43、down. Only then did I discover that what people fear about the climb is not the trip going up, but the way going down. I saw a few brave souls who were walking down as if they were in their own house. Looking down at the steepness of the pyramid, I desperately feared this great height. My first desi
44、re was to joke with a few people, “Where is the elevator（电梯）?” I figured that a civilization that was this advanced would have had the foresight(预见) to construct an elevator. Lacking such modern equipment, I had to use the chain provided by the Mexican tourist authorities and climb down on all fours
45、.My climb was complete eventually. I quickly got on the bus back to my comfortable hotel. Leaving the ruined city, I was still wondering what possibly happened long ago. But a few hours later, I was back in the modern world drinking cocktails on the beach, bathing in the sunshine before boarding the
46、 plane and waiting for my trip back home to the US, where all the modern things such as elevators are available!1. Why did the writer pay a visit to the ruined city of Chichen-Itza?A.

58、要点简要陈述你应聘的理由。1你的爱好：喜欢体育活动；2你的特长：擅长英语；3你的有利条件：高考(NMET)结束后，你有足够的时间；4其他理由：注意：1词数120词左右。2可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。提示词：伦敦奥组委the London Olympic Organizing Committee参考答案一、听力 (共20小题，每小题1分, 满分20分。)1-5 BBAAC 6-10 BCABC 11-15 ACBCA 16-20. BABCA二、选择题1B【解析】 考查强调结构的特殊疑问句。句意为：究竟为什么有些人会看起来年轻得让人吃惊，而另一些人却看起来比实际年龄苍老得多？题干缺少主语，因此
59、如果句首只填一个词时应填what,变为强调结构的特殊疑问句则是What is it that.。2C3D【解析】pass away(=die)死亡，是“死亡”的委婉语。break off中断；give away给掉；泄露；pass off中止，中断。4A【解析】在作为主语补足语和宾语补足语的表示独一无二的官衔或职务的名词前，一般不要用冠词。5A6A【解析】考查连词。If only要是该多好啊，后接虚拟语气。句意：你遇到著名太空英雄杨利伟吗？要是我早来这儿该多好啊。7D8C9B【解析】考查名词。A礼物；B天赋；C知识；D性格。have no gift for在方面没有天赋。句意：你知道，我再学习
60、外语方面没有天赋。10C11A12B13A【解析】give away泄露，暴露；give up放弃；give in屈服，投降；give off发出，放出。句意：如果你没有足够的睡眠，白天你的行为会使你暴露缺乏睡眠的事实。所以选A。14C【解析】冠词题。第一空短语make progress “取得进步”；第二空progress有定语修饰特指。 我们在化学领域取得了很大进步但这进步还不够。 选C15A【解析】考查分词做状语的用法。分词做状语时，分词的逻辑主语必须是句子的主语。过去分词的逻辑主语是动作的承受者。Tell与he构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词表示被动，he是后面主句的主语。句意：被告知多
61、次，他终于明白了。三、完形填空1-20 ADBCA BBDAC ABCDA ABACB【解析】本文使用一些有力的数据通过一项调查介绍了一种现在青少年之间互相发送性短信的社会现象。完成此次完形填空时，注重行文逻辑和青少年的心理活动特征是顺利成功的关键。1. A 考查逻辑思维能力。第一段里的那项调查说的非常明确，调查的对象就是12到17岁的青少年。故选择A项。2. D 这一段是the Pew Research Centers Internet & American Life Project的一个调查结果，当然是“根据”这个调查得出：4%的这个年龄群的拥有手机的青少年曾经发送过有关自己的带有性暗示的
62、图片。故用D项。3. B 考查介词的含义和用法。短信当然是发给“另外”的一个人的。也就是another。Other后往往接一个名词的复数；others是个代词，其后不可能再有名词。The other指的是：两者中的另外一个。意思上ACD三项都不合适。4. C 考查形容的含义词和逻辑关系。语境是：这项调查发现，男孩和女孩都有可能发送一些带有暗示性的图片给另外的人，而年龄较大的则更可能忙于发性短信。这要把握青少年的心理特点，一般来说年龄大的，胆子更大些。故用C项。5. A 此题看似考查的是介词的含义和用法，实质上是考查text的用法。学生们往往只知道text是名词，意思是：文本，课文。而它在这儿根
63、据上下文的意思和一般的常识可知是：发短信。故选A项，表示通过这种方式，相当于：by means of。6. B 此题的最具有迷惑性的是D项，然而我们知道，mail是邮寄的意思，合理的用法应该是：mailto，然而文中没有这样的字眼。根据常识，有发短信，就有接短信。再者，这里的“接”不是“接受”，而是“接到”。故用B项。7. B 考查反身代词。因主语是4%的12岁的青少年，是复数，故这儿使用themselves。8. D 考查近义词的名词词义的辨析及语义之间的逻辑关系。这句的语境是：对于青少年来说，发送带有性暗示的图片已经变成了一种沟通关系的“型式”（form），而不是“习惯”（habit），更
64、不是“系统”（system）和“方法”(method)。最容易让人上当的A项和D项，然而根据我知道的常识，habit往往表示：个人的生活习惯；method则表示：有一定的理论基础的一整套的方法。故用D项。9. A 检测的是动词词义的准确记忆与识别。既然是青少年之间相互发的图片，当然就是彼此“分享”（share）了。别的三项语意上都不符合逻辑。10.C 同上一题一样，此题除了检测的是动词词义的准确记忆与识别外，还有词形及用法的考查。A项remain是系动词，其后常接形容词；而BD项的词义都是“得到”的意思。故选择C项11.A 考查的是动词短语的词义和用法。由上一题的分析我们得知此空填上具有“传递
65、”、“传送”之意的动词的被动形式，然而这四个动词短语只有pass along有这样的意思。具有迷惑性的是B项，但它表示“经过”、“路过”的意思。 12.B 考查名词近义词词义的辨析。由第10题的分析我们知道此空需填上和joke意思相近的名词，而这四项里AD两项同义，都是“高兴”之意；C项的意思是“兴奋、激动”；只有B项表示“玩乐”、“好玩”之意。故B项正确。13.C 此题考查动词的词义及用法。语境是：伦哈特说：“青少年时期有冒险和性探索的欲望，加上移动设备可以保持实时联系，这些条件创造了互发性短信的完美风暴。” 分析句子结构我们得知said的宾语从句的主语是the desire，谓语动词是cr
66、eates，宾语是storm，而 with a constant connection via mobile devices根据语境只能是定语，又因为此四词中只有combine表示“把.和.结合起来”之意，与语境中的“加上”意思相符，combine的逻辑主语是句子的主语the desire,他们之间是被动关系，所以我们用动词的过去分词作后置定语，相当于定语从句：which is combined with constant connection via mobile devices.故选择C项。14.D 考查上下文之间的逻辑思路的理清能力。语境是：青少年总在有关性和情感关系的问题上挣扎，但他们
67、青少年时期所犯的错误和越轨行为从未像现在这样如此容易地被传播并被保存下来供别人分享。在第六段里就提到青少年发性短信已经变成了关系疏通的一种方式。至四个词只有D项的意思是“关系”。故我们选择D项。15.A 考查动词词义的准确记忆。由上一题得知，此空应该填上表示“传播”之意的动词。B项的意思：转变；form的意思是：形成；switch的意思是：转换。故A项正确。16.A 考查的是动词近义词的辨析。根据语境：调查发现，那些订制无限量短信套餐计划的青少年更容易收到含有他们所认识的人的图片的性短信。约75%拥有手机的青少年订制了无限短信套餐计划，我们分析此处应是表示包含之意的动词的现在分词。A. con
68、taining:包含，含有（元素）；B. concluding：得出结论；C. including：包括（整体）；D. concerning：关于，牵涉到。故A为正确答案。17.B 考查非谓语动词的用法。根据语境：18%的人称自己曾收到性短信，而在订制限量短信套餐计划的青少年中，这一比例仅有8%，在每条短信单独付费的青少年中，只有3%，我们发现此处需填上表示“比较起来”，也就是compared with。主要是因为compare的逻辑主语是18 percent，它们之间是被动关系，需用过去分词。故选择B项18.A 也是考查非谓语动词的。由上一题的分析我们知道，此空的应该填上表示“受限制的”之意
69、的词，也就是表示被动关系的过去分词limited，他的逻辑主语是data，它们之间也是被动关系。故选择A项。19.C 考查动词的省略替代。语境是：根据皮尤调查中心的数据，12岁的青少年中有58%的人有手机，而在17岁的青少年中，这一比例为83%。意思是说此处填上表示83%的17岁的青少年和58%的12岁的青少年一样拥有手机。此四个词中能代表这个意思的只有do。故选择C项。20.B 考查动词短语。语境是：皮尤调查中心指出，美国很多州都在试图解决未成年人发送性短信的问题，一些立法机构也介入其中，表示将考虑修改法律，把对这一行为的指控从重罪降为轻罪。此空填上表示“解决”，do with也是解决的意思
70、，但是它跟what搭配；deal with刚好与how搭配。故选择B项。四、阅读理解A1.C2.D3.AB1.A2.B3.C4.DC1. C2. D3. A4. A 【解析】1. C 细节理解题。文章最后一句。2. D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后两句可知。3. A 主旨判断题。首先可排除C项。B项modern art 不合文意。D 项侧重点应是caves。4. A 主要根据文章内容，从每个自然断的主要意思出发，即可得出答案。 五、阅读填空1 Dates /Time 2rich 3 festival/celebration 4 represent5 Thailand 6 pouring/th
71、rowing 7 February 8follow9 enjoying 10 happiness六、书面表达Dear sir, I am glad to learn that the London Olympic Organizing Committee needs volunteers from all over the world. I really want to be one of them. Im Li Hua, a student from No.2Middle School of Chuzhou. I think I am fit for the volunteering wor
72、k. Firstly , I am fond of sports , such as playing basketball, table tennis and so on. In addition, I am good at spoken English, which makes it possible for me to communicate well with others. Whats more, I will be free after taking the College Entrance Examination in June, which allows me enough ti

So I hope you can give me a chance. Looking forward to your early reply. Yours truly. Li Hua【解析】本文属于半开放性作文，对考生的要求较高，要让学生根据所给的范围自行组织词汇要点进行写作，难度稍大，对学生在平时的语言积累要求比较高。在写作时要可以使用一些高级句型如定语从句，非谓语用法；高级词汇如broaden my horizons等，更要注意连词的使用如In addition；Above all, Whats more等。
