46、络会影响我们现实生活中的沟通、交流。解析36句意：听到现在有一些孩子没有电话就无法生存，我真的感到很难过。survive幸存，活下来。37根据后面的I think可知，此处表示个人的观点。personally就个人而言。38根据前面的are controlled and可知，此处要用force强制，迫使。force sb.to do.迫使某人做某事。39句意：让我们看看在这次辩论会上提到的一些观点。come up被提到，被提及，主语为物。40句意：看看我们这一代人是否真的沉迷于电子通信而不是真正的沟通。rather than而不是。41句意：根据后面的举例说明可知，现在一切都在快节奏地进行着。
47、work在这里表示“运作，运转”。42根据常识可知，现在用电话联系住在地球另一端的人也就是几秒钟的事。43此处应该是泛指人，而不是某一具体的人。44根据前面的“who are far away from us.However，on the contrary”可知，然而，恰恰相反，我们可能与我们亲近的人联系太少了。close近的，亲近的。45句意：有一个关于坐在沙发上给他人发信息比亲自去与他们会面交谈容易多了这一事实的争论产生了。fact事实。46此处对“发信息”与“亲自去见面”进行对比，in person亲自。47句意：对我们来说拥有社交技能是非常重要的。48句意：如果你不打算把精力投入到真实

53、人选择有创意的毕业照。解析56考查词性变化。分析语境可知此处应该用graduate的名词形式，graduation，表示“毕业”。57考查非限制性定语从句。此处从句中缺少主语，根据句意，代词应该指前面的整句话，所以用which引导非限制性定语从句。58考查介词。say goodbye to表示“向告别”。59考查被动语态。分析语境可知此处应该用被动语态形式，表示“被看见”。60考查非谓语动词。此处v.ing短语作伴随状语。61考查名词复数。photo是可数名词，表示复数含义时应该用其复数形式。62考查词性变化。此处修饰名词，所以用creation的形容词形式。63考查不定式。此处不定式作目的状
54、语。64考查非谓语动词。此处用compare的过去分词形式表示被动。65考查代词或冠词。此处graduation具有唯一性，所以用定冠词the或者代词their。第四部分：写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节：应用文写作(满分15分)假设你的同学Mike想要提高英语成绩，写信问你如何利用网络工具学习英语。现请你根据以下要点给他回信向他推荐一个学习英语的网站。1网站名：沪江英语网；2推荐理由：a.资料丰富，寓教于乐；b.满足不同人群的不同需求；c.高质量的博客文章；3可适当增加内容以使文章流畅；4参考词汇：博客：blog；5词数：80左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。Dear Mike，You_

61、“Did you leave your name？” To this she answered instantly，“No.Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good，which is enough of a thank for me.” Suddenly，still thinking about Moms deeds，I heard something burst loudly.It was our car that broke down！Nothing could be wors
