33、n sections:the Theme Park has 10 themed lands with more than 40 rides and attractions including roller coasters,dodgems and rides suitable for younger children.”可知,想体验过山车的游客可以去Chessington World of Adventures。22.A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句“Take a scary but humorous 90-minute journey through 1,000 years of Lond
34、ons history at the ever-popular London Dungeon.”可推断出,学历史的学生最有可能对London Dungeon感兴趣。23.C推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“Take a trip to one of Londons theme parks for an adrenaline-packed day out.”以及下文的具体内容可知,本文主要介绍了伦敦的几个主题公园;由此可推断出,本文可能出现在旅游指南上。BOn Christmas Day,2003,a woman named Nancy Sue Brown took her daughter and
35、 grandchildren to see a movie at an AMC theater.When the movie was over,the crowd made for the exits.A theater employee had just finished mopping the hallway and dutifully placed the “wet floor” sign in the slippery area.No one slipped due to the wet conditions,but someone did manage to knock over t
36、he sign.And by the time Ms.Brown got to the area,the sign was lying on the floor.And shortly thereafter,so was she.Her foot got caught in the sign,in a bad way,and she fell.Unfortunately Ms.Brown had undergone a back operation,and the fall caused more damage than it otherwise would have.So she and h
37、er husband sued(提起诉讼).AMC argued that the entire point of the “wet floor” sign above was to warn of danger,and therefore,courts should encourage the use by not allowing Browns case to proceed(继续进行).AMC referred to a case about a December,1998 incident,where a “wet floor” sign,not in use,fell to the
38、floor causing another trip-and-fall.In that case,Georgias Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the store,but didnt go so far as to say that “wet floor” signs couldnt give rise to legal liability(责任) in trip-and-fall accidents.In the Brown case,the Supreme Court therefore rejected AMCs argument that th
39、e former case applied.But the Browns argued something surprising that the “wet floor” sign was,itself,dangerous,because “using this type of sign in areas passed by lots of customers creates an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm to the public in the form of tripping hazards(危险).” Thats rightthe sa
40、fety sign,used in the way it was designed,was itself dangerous.The court thankfully didnt accept that argument,at least not entirely.But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a jury(陪审团)“a merchants selection and use of equipment designed to warn customers of one danger that has the pot
41、ential to expose them to a different one”.24.According to the text,Ms.Brown .A.slipped on the wet floorB.tripped over a warning signC.knocked over a warning signD.was knocked down by the crowd25.AMC mentioned the 1998 case in order to .A.accept its legal liability for Ms.Browns lossB.prove Ms.Brown
42、had some physical problemsC.stress that it had no legal liability for the accidentD.prove other customers were responsible for the accident26.What can we learn about the Browns case from the last paragraph?A.It would be judged by a jury.B.It would not be allowed to proceed.C.The court would rule in
43、favor of AMC.D.The court accepted all the arguments of the Browns.27.The underlined word “one” in the last paragraph refers to “”.A.dangerB.customerC.business ownerD.equipment in public places语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要介绍了布朗夫人在美国一家AMC影院看完电影离开时,被“小心地滑”的指示牌绊倒受伤后,向法院提起诉讼以及法院的审判结果。答案及剖析:24.B细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“.Ms.B
44、rown got to the area,the sign was lying on the floor.And shortly thereafter,so was she.Her foot got caught in the sign,in a bad way,and she fell.”可知,布朗夫人被“小心地滑”的指示牌绊倒了。B项中的tripped over意为“被绊倒”,与文章表述相符,故选B项。C项中的knocked over意为“打翻,撞倒”,不符合文意。25.C推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句“AMC argued that.encourage the use by not a
45、llowing Browns case to proceed(继续进行).”可知,AMC影院认为布朗夫人的控诉不成立,法院应该鼓励使用这样的警示牌,接着第二句AMC影院举出1998年的案例来支持自己的观点。由此可推测,AMC影院提到这一案例是为了强调自己不应该承担本次事故的责任。26.A细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a jury.”可知,法院提请陪审团来审理此案。27.A猜测词义题。根据文章最后一段最后一句可知,一个商人选择和使用某一种设备来警示顾客某种危险,而这种设备本身就可能将
46、顾客置于另一种危险中。由此可猜测,one指代上文中的danger。CMany of us have reached in our pockets,feeling a vibration(振动),wrongly believing our mobile phones have just rung.The phenomenon even has a name:“phantom vibration syndrome”and found it is surprisingly common.Now scientists believe that we are so alert(警觉的) for phon

48、dicating it has received a text message or call while on “silent”.But when the device is retrieved,there was no one onthe other end.Dr.Rosenberger said,“I find so many people say,This happens to me,but I thought I was the only one.I thought I was odd.”It seems that the syndrome particularly affects
49、people at the beck and call of mobile phones or pagers.A 2010 study by Michael Rothberg and colleagues found that nearly 70 per cent of doctors at a hospital in Massachusetts suffered phantom vibrations.A more recent study of US college students found the figure was as high as 90 per cent.While the
50、odd feeling is widespread,it does not seem to be considered a grave problem.Dr.Rosenberger said,“Its not actually a syndrome in a technical sense.Thats just the name thats got stuck to it.”He added,“Only 2 per cent of people consider it a problem.”While widespread,the scientific community has not ye
51、t invested much effort in getting to the bottom of why we suffer phantom calls.Dr.Rosenberger said,“People are guessing it has something to do with nervous energy.The cognitive(认知的) scientists are talking about brain chemistry,cognitive pathways changing.But its not like they have brain scans to go
52、on.”He said,“We have a phone call in our pocket all the time and it becomes sort of an extension of ourselves.We have this sort of readiness to experience a call.We feel something and we think,OK,that could be a call.”28.Why do some people mistake slight muscle spasms for a call?A.They all have a vi
53、vid imagination.B.They are sensitive to calls and messages.C.There are few calls and messages in their life.D.Slight muscle spasms affect them more than other people.29.Which of the following are more likely to have phantom vibration syndrome than others?A.Doctors.B.University professors.C.College s

56、alls and messages we are misinterpreting slight muscle spasms(痉挛) as proof of a call.可知,产生这种误解的原因是这些人对电话和信息比较敏感。29.C细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句A more recent study of US college students found the figure was as high as 90 per cent.可知,90%的大学生患有振动幻听综合征。30.A细节理解题。根据第四段中的Its not actually a syndrome in a technical se
57、nse.Thats just the name thats got stuck to it.可知,Rosenberger博士认为振动幻听综合征并不是一种病。31.A主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了大多数人都患有振动幻听综合征。DA new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner.The keyboard records information about the typing pattern and sends it to a computer program.The program then checks to see if the p

89、(small).It brought information right to our home.People were able to communicate better,address issues faster and become aware 64. things happening around the world by watching the news.We all have at least one TV memory that will last a lifetime.65. there is undoubtedly a bad side to TV.It could be
90、 said to have destroyed communication as much as it enhanced(加强) it.In the days before television,a typical family would have played games or just chatted with each other after their evening meal.But since then,sitting around the TV in silence 66. (become) a regular evening activity.Still,the United
91、 Nations 67.(say) that TV continually invites people 68.(explore) beyond their living rooms and that is undoubtedly true.But sometimes,this “exploration” is at the expense of 69.(ignore) the people closest to us.Although television is indeed a brilliant tool,lets not forget about the people sitting
92、next to us on the couch.After all,what good is watching something 70. (interest) if you dont want to share your opinions on it?答案及剖析:61.inventions考查词性转换及名词复数。此处指电视是20世纪最伟大的发明之一。根据前面的“one of the greatest”可知,此处应用名词及其复数形式。62.what考查宾语从句。此处指我们主要依靠广播和报纸去了解世界正在发生什么。空格处引导宾语从句,且从句中缺少主语。故填what。63.smaller考查形容词
93、的比较级。根据语境及转折连词“But”可知,电视出现后,世界似乎变得小了很多。64.of考查介词。become aware of是固定短语,意为“知道,发觉”。65.But考查连词。根据上下文可知,“我们至少拥有一段贯穿一生的电视回忆”和“毫无疑问电视有一个弊端”形成转折关系。故填But。注意首字母大写。66.has become考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语“since then”可知,此处应用现在完成时;动名词短语作主语时谓语动词应用单三形式。67.says考查动词的时态和主谓一致。主语“the United Nations”是一个组织,谓语动词应用单三形式;且结合上下文可知,此处
94、时态应用一般现在时。68.to explore考查非谓语动词。invite sb.to do sth.意为“邀请某人做某事”。69.ignoring考查非谓语动词。根据空格前的“of”可知,介词后应用动名词作宾语。70.interesting考查形容词。根据空格前的“something”可知,此处应用形容词作定语,修饰不定代词。第四部分写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(

99、oncentrate more studies.After all,only by working can one succeed.剖析:everyone作主语,谓语动词用单数。此处表示“考入学校,”enter为及物动词,故其后不用into。此处考查with复合结构在句中作状语,modern life与go之间存在主动关系,故用动词-ing形式。different后应为复数名词。doctor为可数名词,此处表泛指,故加a。全文叙述的是现在的情况,应用一般现在时。此处考查keep+宾语+adj.结构,healthy作宾补。“一次次告诉自己”,所以用反身代词。concentrate.on.为固定搭
100、配,把集中在上。用hard表示“努力”工作,hardly几乎不。第二节书面表达(满分25分)假定你是李华,你的美国朋友Jack想学习汉语,你推荐他去孔子学院,请给他写封邮件,内容包括:1.推荐理由; 2.相关课程,如中国历史,传统文化等。 注意:1.词数100左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。参考词汇:孔子学院Confucius InstituteDear Jack, Yours,Li HuaOne possible version:Dear Jack,Im more than pleased to know that you are eager to learn Chinese.Co
