42、ned C. called D. commanded33A. left B. boarded C. jumped D. reached34A. upset B. happy C. crazy D. surprised35A. taking B. seizingC. reflecting D. bringing答案与解析语篇解读这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,作者在一次等飞机时领悟到经常停留一下,回顾生活中美好事情的重要性。这对现代社会中忙忙碌碌的人们有特别的意义。16B 由“with lots of meetings”可知应是很繁忙的三天。17D 在办理登机手续前30分钟到了机场,所以就有额外的时间来
43、计划接下来需要做的事情。pleasant“令人愉快的;吸引人的”; satisfying“令人满意的”; valuable“很值钱的”; extra“额外的”。显然extra切合文意,能较好地把句子补充完整。18C 结合上下文,那三天由于一直忙于开会,“我”很乐于有时间计划接下来“需要”做的事情,need“需要”。19A 分析句意可知,这时机场发布了一项通知。announcement“通知;宣告”。declaration“声明;宣言”; speech“演说”; opening“开放;开始”。20D 文中提到飞机出了问题,带来的应是航班“延误”或者“取消”,但从下文可知,航班并没有被取消,所以B
44、项cancelled(取消)错误。21A 飞机没有来。“我”坐在那里应该是等待“航班”。flight“飞行;航班”。turn“转动;(依次轮到的)机会”; name“名字”; order“命令;次序”。22B 下文中出现了lunch,照应上文。理解全句,应为“那不是一个商务会议,而是与一个长达12年没见面的业务上的老朋友的愉快的午餐。”23C 分析句意,作者要表述的是在午饭时做了什么,filling和recalling引导的短语是并列关系,需用as well as连接。as well“也;又”,多用于句末; except for“除以外”; in addition“另外”。24D 句意:想到以
45、前我们一起度过的快乐时光和美好的经历,我们都很开心。share“分享;共有”,可以构成完整的句意。25B 由“we must do it again”可知,我们当然很满意那天的聚会。分析四个选项的意思,只有enjoy“喜欢;满意”合适。pay“付费”; get“理解;明白”; make“获得成功”,均与句意不符。26D 句意:有这样一个额外的时间来回想我们的对话实在是太好了。回想当然应是在大脑中,所以mind“头脑;心思”符合文意。27C 此处说的是作者的感受,强调这次谈话对作者的影响。reminder“提醒人的事物;引起回忆的事物”,符合语境。time“时间”; plan“计划”; rema
46、ins“残余物;遗迹”。28D 从上下文可知,显然作者认为自己很幸运,有这样一个机会来放松并回忆过去12年的快乐时光。break恰好能与take搭配,take a break“放松;休息”。29A 句意:这就有点像是在看保存在你家橱柜里的老相册一样。因此store away符合句意。store away“收存;保存”; put on“穿上”; set aside“留出;暂不考虑”; give out“公布;用尽”。30B 看着相册,展现在眼前的应是许多精彩的“回忆”。31D 句意:呈现在你眼前的是许多精彩的回忆,它们带你回到过去的时光和场景,更重要的是,它们让你想起照片中的那些人。上文提到了“
47、photo album”显然说的是“照片”中的人物。32C 由第21空后的to be called可知。33B 飞机来了,当然要登机了,board the plane“登机”,为正确答案。34A 通读整篇文章可知作者这时的心情应是很愉快的。此处意为:我微笑着登上飞机,对于飞机的晚点一点儿也不心烦意乱。结合句意,upset符合语境。35C 作者心情好的原因应是“有时间去回顾那些逝去的好时光”。第二段和第三段都用到了reflect on这个短语,意思是“回忆;反思”。take on“呈现”; seize on“把握”; bring on“使发展;导致(通常指坏事);促使提高”。第二节语法填空(共1
48、0小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。When I was 8 years old, I once decided to run away from home. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door and said to Mom, “I _36_ (leave)” “If you want to run away, thats all right,” she said. “But you c
49、ame into this home _37_ anything and you can leave the same way.” I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor heavily and started for the door again.“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “I want your _38_ back. You didnt wear anything when you arrived.” This really angered(激怒) me. I took my clothes off sho
50、es, socks, underwear and all and shouted, “Can I go now?” “Yes,” Mom answered, “but once you close that door, dont expect _39_ (come) back.”I was so angry that I slammed (砰地关上) the door and stepped out on the front porch. _40_ (sudden) I realized that I was outside, with nothing on. Then I noticed t
51、hat two girls were walking toward our house. I ran to hide behind a big tree in our yard at once. After a while, I was sure the girls _41_ (pass) by. Then I dashed to the front door and banged on it loudly.“Whos there?” I heard.“Its Billy! Let me in!”The voice behind _42_ door answered, “Billy doesn
52、t live here anymore. He ran away from home.” _43_ (glance) behind me to see if anyone else was coming, I begged, “Aw, come on, Mom! Im still your son. Let me _44_!”The door opened and Moms smiling face appeared. “Did you change your _45_ (decide) about running away?” she asked.“Whats for supper?” I
53、answered.答案与解析36am leaving/will leave根据语境“作者收拾好行李,准备离开家,和妈妈说我要走了”,可知,该空动作表将来,用现在进行时表将来或will do。37without根据语境“但是你一无所有的来到这个家”可知该空填介词without。38clothes根据下文语境“脱衣服”可知,该空填clothes。39to come根据动词expect的用法expect to do sth.“期盼做某事”可知该空填to come。40Suddenly设空处所填词在句中作状语,应用副词形式,故填Suddenly。41had passed根据语境可知“女孩走过去”是发生
54、在was sure之前的动作,表“过去的过去”,应用过去完成时。42thethe door“门”。43Glancing主句主语I与glance为主动关系,应用现在分词形式作状语。44inlet . in“让某人进去”。45decision根据设空前的物主代词your可知该空填decide的名词decision。第三部分写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节短文改错(每小题1分,满分10分)英语课上,老师要求同桌同学相互修改作文。假设以下短文为你同桌所写,请你对其进行修改。文中共有10处错误,每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加:在缺词处加一个漏词符号(),并在此符号下面写出该加

When everything was OK, she left for school.Such is Liu Fang, a helpful, positive and determined person.
