7、.【解题导语】 这是一篇富有哲理的记叙文。绿色象征生命，红色象征热情，黄色是收获之色，颜色之间也要一争高下，比比谁更重要。斑斓世界，五颜六色，一个也不能少。看那雨后的彩虹，也许你会因此而相信唯有手拉手，肩并肩，才能创造出美丽和希望。热爱自己，珍惜他人，明天会更美好。1A.stay Bleave Cgo out Ddie解析由上文代表“草、树、叶”推测可知，没有绿色，其他的动物就会死亡。答案D2A.That is BI amCIt is DThis is解析此处是强调句型，只能用it is。答案C3A.anything BnothingCsomething Deverything解析此处与第一段
8、的最后一句有异曲同工的作用，意为：没有我的宁静，你们全都没有(即：死亡)。答案B4A.warmth BsadnessCdepression Danxiety解析此处所填单词，应与前面的laughter，fun是同类型的词，表示积极向上的词，而sadness，depression，anxiety则表示“消极”之意。答案A5A.usual Bnormal Ccommon Dscarce解析橘黄色在平时不多见，结合下文只有在太阳升起或落下时出现，因此用scarce表示“稀少的，不常见的”。答案D6A.gift Bhonor Cthought Drespect解析由上文“我的美丽如此惹人注目”推断下文
9、“当我出现时，没有人会想起你们的”。give thought to想起，注意。答案C7A.turn to Bfight forCstruggle with Dbend over解析由上文bravery可知，此处意义为：我愿意为真理而斗争。fight for“为而战”。答案B8A.superiority BdisadvantagesCinferiority Dweakness解析由上文各种颜色的讲话内容及此句中的boasting(夸耀)可知，它们都在吹嘘自己的优点或优势(superiority)。答案A9A.with care Bin fearCby chance Don purpose解析由谓
10、语“蜷缩(crouched down)”及下文“互相缩成一团”可知，它们处于“恐惧之中”。答案B10A.others BthemselvesCthe other Dthe rest解析句中的动词dominate是“优于，超出”，根据上文的内容，他们极力说自己的优点，想超出对方，因此用the rest表示除自己之外的所有其他颜色。答案D11A.equal and simple Bordinary and similarCmore or less Dunique and different解析由for a special purpose可知，各种颜色都有自己的特殊用途，它们所具有的特点都是其他颜色
11、没有的，因此用unique and different来表示“独特的和与众不同的”。答案D12A.each other BmeCone another Dthem解析此处表示三者以上的“互相”，用one another。意为：大家手拉手。答案C13A.combined BseparatedCunited Ddivided解析由下文joined hands可知，它们“团结一心”。答案C14A.cleans BwashesCbrightens Ddampens解析此处是拟人说法，wash有“冲洗”之意。意为：一场大雨之后。答案B15A.appreciate Bquarrel withCignore
12、 Dpraise解析它们互相合作，形成了美丽的彩虹，如果没有大家的配合，是不可能形成彩虹的。答案A第二节：语法填空(共10 小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。When invited to dinner，it is very _16_(polite) to arrive late，as it is usually planned to have _17_ meal at the exact hour given in the invitation.When you arrive，the
13、 hostess or _18_ member of the family will probably meet you at the door and take your coat and hat.In a few minutes the hostess _19_(ask) her guests to come in to dinner.She may or may not ask _20_ gentleman to take a lady in.If she does，the lady will take the gentlemans arm as they walk into the d
14、inning room.If she does not，the ladies will go in first，followed by the gentlemen.The hostess will either point out their seats to the guests as they come in _21_ have a place card at each place _22_ the guests name on it._23_ the meal is over it is not polite to leave for at least half an hour，lest
15、 you seem to have come only for the meal.When _24_(leave) any kind of a party，a guest always expresses his appreciation to the hostess.Some _25_ words as these are appropriate.“Thank you so much.Ive had a delight evening.”【解题导语】 本文介绍在西方国家应邀赴宴的一些礼貌习俗。16解析根据常识，应邀赴宴迟到是“不礼貌的”。 答案impolite17解析特指请贴中写明的那一餐。
16、 答案the18解析意思应是“女主人或某个家庭成员可能在门外接你”，表示“某个”用 some或a certain。 答案some19解析因为“in一段时间”常与一般将来时连用。 答案will ask20解析由后文的a lady，the gentleman等可以判定填表示“每一”的each。 答案each21解析因either.or.(或者或者)是固定搭配。 答案or22解析介词短语on it是宾语the guests name的补足语，宾语加宾补叫复合宾语； 英语中能接复合宾语的只有with和without，这里指“每个座位上有一张写有客 人名字的座位卡片”，故用with。答案with23解析
17、因后文谈到离开的问题，所以是指“在宴会结束之后”。 答案After24解析连词when后没有主语，说明其逻辑主语是句子的主语，这是考查“连词 ing形式或ed形式”，逻辑主语与分词是主动关系用ed形式，是被动关系用 ing形式；本题逻辑主语a guest与leave是主动关系，故用动词的ing形式。 答案leaving25解析因such.as.是固定搭配，表示“诸如之类的”。 答案such第二部分：阅读(共两节，满分50分)第一节：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 A A businessman had two sons
