47、课程和双学位等。16C根据该段的标题可知，空处应是对标题的问题作出了回答，故C项“它是大学里你学习的专业领域”符合语境。17F该段主要谈到专业并非那么重要。空前一句谈到“如果你打算在大学毕业后获得专业学位，你可能需要某些课程”，由此可推知，F项承接上文，再次说明专业并非那么重要。故F项符合语境。18E根据空后的“Others require that you decide upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.”可知，其他的学校要求你第一次走进教室就决定你选择的专业，空处应是说明一些学校的做法，故E
48、项“一些学校可能给你一年或更多的时间决定”符合语境。19A此处考查段落小标题。由该段中的“Definitely.”及“If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.”可知，该段应是谈到可不可以改变主意(换专业)。20G空前一句谈到辅修与主修的相似之处，空处应是讲两者的不同之处，故G项“唯一不同的是，辅修不需要那么多的课程”符合语境。第二部分语言运用(30分)第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)Each of us f

65、l be able to achieve our goals.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了作者九岁的时候在全班面前的演讲，描述了当时的心情、动作以及对以后成长所起的作用。36terribly考查副词。修饰形容词shy, 应该使用副词形式作状语，故填 terribly。37fixed考查非谓语动词。“with so many eyes 37._ (fix) on me”是“with宾语宾语补足语”结构，fix与前面的名词是逻辑上的被动关系，过去分词表示被动关系。故填fixed。38choice考查名词。have no choice but to do的意思为“除了做某事别无选择”，no是形容词，修
66、饰名词。故填choice。39lay考查动词。句意：最难的部分在于演讲时不允许参考稿子，只靠记忆背诵。根据句意和上文“I was once asked to deliver a speech”可知，这里使用一般过去时。故填lay。40when考查定语从句。根据语法分析可知，“ 40._ I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank.” 是一个定语从句，修饰“the real moment”， 从句缺少时间状语，用关系副词when引导从句。故填when。41delivering考查非谓语动词。句子的谓语动词是fo
67、und，故deliver用非谓语动词形式，“41._ (deliver) my speech without difficulty”作状语，deliver与逻辑主语I是主动关系，用现在分词表示主动关系。故填 delivering。42it考查代词。make it 意思为“成功”， 是固定短语。根据上文“I found my audience applauding”可推断，作者成功了。故填it。43confidence考查名词。句意：随着信心的增强，我现在成了一个很好的演讲者。形容词性物主代词my修饰名词。故填confidence。44to考查介词。“on ones way to”的意思是“在的
68、路上”，是固定搭配。故填to。45and考查连词。这里考查的是“祈使句and/or陈述句”结构。句意：克服困难，我们就会达到目标。故用and。第三部分写作(40分)第一节(满分15分)学校英文报正在开展以Learning English Beyond the Classroom为题的讨论。请使用图表中的调查结果写一篇短文投稿，内容包括：1学习活动状况描述；2简单评论；3你的建议。注意：1词数100左右；2短文的题目和首句已为你写好。Learning English Beyond the ClassroomThere are many things we can do to learn Engl

Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They dont act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I
73、 love you” is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentines Day is even more out of the question. Finally, my father has a bad temper. When hes very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.One day my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down
74、beside her and looked at her.“Mom, I have a question to ask you，” I said after a while.“What？” she replied, still doing her work.“Is there love between you and dad？” I asked her in a very low voice.My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She did not answer immediate
75、ly. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment and I did not know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words.“Susan，” she said thoughtfully, “Look at the thread. Sometimes it
76、appears but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes them quite strong and durable(持久的). If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.

My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned
78、, they both looked very pale. Every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. It seemed they were the most harmonious couple. The sun gently glistened through the leaves, which made up the most beautiful picture in th
79、e world.The doctor had said my father would recover in two months._One possible version：The_doctor_had_said_my_father_would_recover_in_two_months. But after two months he still couldnt walk alone. All of us were worried about him. One day, he told me gently: “Susan, to be honest, I just like walking with your mom.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves Mom deeply. Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But now I understand love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
