20、B。CFive years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said：“Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes todayand 45 minutes
21、each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a
22、 boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected t
23、eaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downsideI ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare, “But Im just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when youre aslee
24、p？”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“Thats pretty creative.Who does that for you？”“Nobody.I do it.”“Reallyat night，when youre asleep？”“Sure.”“Try doing it in t
25、he daytime，in class，okay？”【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作为一名教师，作者用一种玩具培养孩子们的创造性和动手能力，其中一个孩子的创造性引起了作者的注意。8The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to Aknow more about the studentsBmake the lessons more excitingCraise the students interest in artDteach the students about toy designA细节理解题。从题干的in order to判断，本题询问作
26、者在课堂使用这种玩具的目的，第一段提到“as a test.to find out something about my students”，由此可知作者的目的是更多地了解自己的学生，因此选A项。B项“让课程更激动人心”，C项“提高学生们对艺术的兴趣”，D项“教学生玩具设计”，均不是作者的目的。9What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?AHe liked to help his teacher.BHe preferred to study alone.CHe was active in class.DHe was imagi
27、native.D推理判断题。第三段作者描述这个学生，说他特别有创造性(was an exceptionally creative mind at work)，因此选D项。imaginative有想象力的。作者在该段说他的创造力能够感染班上其他学生，这让作者意外地有了一个教学帮手，没有说他喜欢帮助老师(A项错)，文章没有提到他更喜欢独自一个人学习(B项错)，也没有提到他在课堂上非常活跃(C项错)。10What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?AMistake. BDrawback.CDifficul
28、ty. DBurden.B词义猜测题。前文提到作者很喜爱这个学生，说这个学生的创造性能够感染其他学生，下文说“冒着失去那些有不同的思考风格的学生的风险”，根据语境前后的对比判断，downside的含义应该是drawback“不利条件，缺点”，而不是mistake“错误”，difficulty“困难”，burden“负担”。11Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?ATo help them to see their creativity.BTo find out about their sleeping
29、habits.CTo help them to improve their memory.DTo find out about their ways of thinking.A推理判断题。根据题干信息可知本题考查的是文章后半部分对话的信息。作者鼓励学生讲述他们最有趣的梦，然后鼓励学生说，“白天在课堂上也试一试做梦，好吗？”由此推断，作者让学生讲述他们的梦，是为了帮助学生看到自己的创造性，因此选A项。B项“为了弄清楚他们的睡眠习惯”，C项“为了帮助他们提高记忆力”，D项“为了弄清楚他们的思维方式”，均不是作者的目的。DAll over the world people enjoy sports.
30、Sports help to keep people healthy，happy and help them to live longer.Sports change with the season.People play different games in winter and summer.Games and sports often grow out of peoples work and everyday activities.The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life，they use them in
31、their sports，too.Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them.Football, for example, has spread around the world.Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.Some sports or games go back to thousands of years，like running or jumping.Chinese b
32、oxing，for example，has a very long history.But basketball and volleyball are rather new.Neither one is a hundred years old yet.People are inventing new sports or games all the time.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other，but after a game they often become good friends
33、.Sports help to train a persons character(性格)One learns to fight hard but fight fair，to win without pride and to lose with grace (体面)【语篇解读】人们喜欢运动。运动使人们健康、快乐和长寿。冬季和夏季都有不同的运动形式，一些运动项目也具有悠久的历史。12According to this passage we know that .Apeople began to play about one hundred years agoBabout one hundred
34、years ago people ran or jumped when they playedCbasketball has a longer history than volleyballDnot all the games have a long historyD细节理解题。从第四段可知，跑步、跳高等运动有上千年的历史，而篮球和排球是相当新的运动，都不到一百年，由此可知并不是所有的运动项目都历史悠久，D项正确。13The writer didnt tell us in this passage that Abasketball was invented in AmericaBsports
35、change with the seasonCgames and sports often grow out of peoples work and everyday activitiesDfootball is played all over the worldA细节理解题。由第一段末句可知B项正确；由第二段第二句可知C项正确；由第三段第二句可知D项正确；A项文章没有提及。故选A项。14People all over the world enjoy sports because .Asports are interestingBsports help to keep people healt
36、hy，happy and to live longerCsports help to train ones characterDall of the aboveD细节理解题。第一段和最后一段相呼应，概括了运动的好处：有趣，使人健康快乐，延年益寿，锻炼人的性格。D项回答全面。15Whats the writers attitude towards the sports?APositive. BNegative.CNeutral. DWe have no idea.A观点态度题。positive积极的，肯定的；negative消极的，否定的；neutral中立的。作者在文章中讲了运动的诸多好处，自
37、然对运动持肯定态度，所以选A。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Different CulturesThe cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 16 The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India.Both of the two cultures are developed by riversthe Yellow River in China and the Hi

44、a lot.”东西方文化彼此是有差异的，故选E，这是因为整体上是两个完全不同的文化体系。17F根据上文提到“Both of the two cultures are developed by riversthe Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.”可知两种文化起源于中国的黄河和印度的印度河，故选F，数百年来他们帮助两种文化成长，形成自己的风格。18C根据上文提到“This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancien
45、t Rome.”后来这种文化发展成为古代的希腊文化与古代的罗马文化与C项这两种文化以欧洲文化为基础相连接。19D根据下文提到“Take the language system for example.In the East，most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system.”以语言系统为例，在东方，许多语言属于象形文字，而西方的语言以拉丁语为基础，故选D，与此同时，这些差异增加了文化的不同。20G根据上文提到的“T
46、he differences are everywhere”(这些差异无处不在)故选G，他们是很明显的，影响着人们思考世界的方法和观点。.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)Everyone wants to win.However，any time two teams or kids are 21 each other in a game or contest，someone will lose.Kids lose in small ways，like in a 22 of chess，but they also might face losing in 23 ways，lik

60、was left考查时态、语态。句意：他在附近的城镇出售或交换了一些牛奶，以获得其他食物，并用剩下的为家里做了奶酪和黄油。with后面是what引导的宾语从句；what指的是milk(不可数名词)，在宾语从句中充当主语，和leave(剩下)之间是被动关系，所以此处用一般过去时态的被动语态，故答案为was left。44when考查固定句式。句意：一天，奶牛正在吃草，这时候天开始下大雨。was/were doing sth.when.，正在做某事，这时候，故答案为when。45making考查现在分词作状语。句意：她在努力逃跑的时候，倒在了山上，死了。此处she和make之间是主动关系，这里是现
61、在分词作时间状语，故答案为making。46without考查介词。句意：然后，约翰逊试图在没有奶牛的情况下谋生。结合句意答案为without。47began考查时态。句意：约翰逊开始种植草药和蔬菜。根据整篇文章可知本句用一般过去时，故答案为began。48to sell考查动词不定式。句意：由于这些植物生长需要花费一段时间，他开始砍伐树木来卖木材。此处是动词不定式作目的状语，故答案为to sell。49where考查定语从句。句意：当收获来临的时候，他已经在镇上的人经常见面的市场上卖草药、蔬菜和棉花。空格前的the market是先行词，空格处应为定语从句的引导词，并在从句中作地点状语，故答
62、案为where。50him考查人称代词。句意：现在他突然想到，他的农场有很大的潜力，而牛的死对他也是好运气。固定句式：It occurred to sb.that.，某人突然想起，故答案为him。.短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Dear Mr.Black，Im very thank to you for inviting me to stay with you in the come summer vacation.I have been dreamed of seeing you again so that I can get help from you in my Engl
