21、be made to make the races successful”可知D项正确。6C细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，A、B、D三项均为该马拉松展览会吸引人的地方，而文章中并未明确说明纪念品是免费的。故选C。7C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“many of Malaysian runners showed their interest”可知，他们对于北京马拉松是很期待的。故选C。CNo one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world，but estimates suggest the figure is
22、 over 450 million.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom，about one in ten people have some disability.Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older，many of us will become less mob

29、碍非常重要”可知，“起重要作用的是个人和他们的能力而不是他们的残疾”。10D细节理解题。根据文章最后一段提到的残疾人遇到的一些障碍可知对残疾人的偏见还是存在的，因此D项不正确。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Develop Courage by Overcoming Daily FearsAt times，when it comes to courage，we tend to believe it only applies to rare and uncommon situations.Y

45、转折关系。故选B。18A在网站上，使用者通常贴出自己和朋友的照片。故选A。19C根据下文内容可知，青少年用各种方式吸引别人的注意力，这样做会很危险。故选C。20C他们总是想要给他们的同龄人留下印象。故选C。21B青少年通过在网上发布有趣的照片引起注意。故选B。22B句意为：为了得到他们想要的结果，他们试图从有争议的自我形象(image)中得到回应。故选B。23C句意为：青少年需要“酷”，导致许多年轻的女孩和男孩试图通过展示自己喝酒、吸烟而给对方留下深刻印象。故选C。24D根据上题解析及上文“they always _25_ to impress their peers(同龄人)”可知。故选D。
46、25B根据本段内容尤其是“on the networks no one is there to _33_ the attack”可知，此处是指有那么多的青少年上网，互相攻击变得更容易。故选B。attack“攻击”。26A根据下文中的“is even severer over the Internet”可知，欺凌行为很难处理，但是在网上情况会更严重。故选A。27D当一个人的页面上贴出残酷的评论时，任何人都能看到它们。此处是讲与欺凌有关的行为，四个选项中只有D项符合语境。故选D。28A此处是指网络是虚拟的，谁也无法看到是谁在攻击别人。故选A。29B所以这使得受害者(victim)更难找到攻击者。故
47、选B。30A随着这些社会技术的不断使用，很少有人亲自交流。故选A。31A由于缺乏个人沟通，许多人变得更孤独(lonely)。故选A。32B没有人与人之间的交流，我们将失去语言技能，在公共场合讲话都有困难。故选B。33D正常的讨论将变得更困难，因为我们不能读懂对方的肢体语言。be able to do sth.“能够做某事”，故选D。34B社交网络有助于长途交流，但是一定有一个停止点。空处前后为转折关系，故选B。35A它不能变成我们主要的交流方式。故选A。第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Why is pink or

52、._you want to eat less，some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.【答案与解析】36ondepend on“取决于；受的影响”。37choice根据上文的名词所有格peoples和下文的“of colors”限定分析，此空该填入动词choose的名词形式choice。38to reducethe ability to do sth.“做某事的能力”。39working根据句子结构及people与work的主谓关系分析，此处填入现在分词。40fewer根据上文“It has the ability _43_ pai
53、n”可知，在绿色环境中工作的人比在其他环境中工作的人得胃病的概率更小。41that/which后面的部分为定语从句，且该定语从句中缺少指物的主语，故用关系代词that或which引导该定语从句。42are given根据语境分析，该句缺少谓语动词，又因主语children与动词give存在逻辑上的动宾关系，故用被动语态，再结合前后句的谓语动词分析，此句也用一般现在时。故填入一般现在时的被动语态，即are given。43Similarly根据该空所处句首位置和后面的逗号分析，此处应是副词作状语，故填入形容词similar的副词形式similarly，且单词首字母必须大写。44themselve
54、s根据上下文语境分析该句句意：希腊人常佩戴蓝色项链，希望保护自己远离邪恶。故填入与Greek people吻合的反身代词themselves。45if如果你想吃得更少些，人们就会建议你从蓝色的碟子中取食，(这)会很有用。故用if引导条件状语从句。第三部分写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节应用文写作(满分15分)假设你是李华。你的英国笔友杰克刚刚升入高中，但他一时无法适应新的校园生活，写信向你征求建议。请你就此问题给他回一封信。主要内容包括：1.不过分焦虑；2.制定合理的学习计划；3.多参加集体活动，结交新朋友。注意：1.词数80左右；2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3.开头和结尾已为你写好，不

Jacks hands shook as he read the note inside， “Upon my death， please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bernett. Its the thing I valu
67、ed most in my life.” A small key was taped(捆扎) to the letter. His heart was racing， and tears filling his eyes. Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover， he opened it.Paragraph 2：Inside he found these words carved： Jack， thanks for your time！ Belser. “Oh， My God！ This is the thing he valued most” Jack held the watch for a few minutes， then called his assistant and cancelled his appointments for the next two days. “Why？” his assistant asked. “I need some time to spend with my wife and son，” he said.
