69、or.”（当然，这里的海滩是世界上最好的海滩之一，但是那些到内陆冒险的人会得到墨西哥真正的灵魂的奖励，它一直牢牢地居住在内陆地区。）可知只有去墨西哥内陆的人才可以了解墨西哥的灵魂，D项错误；可知B项“墨西哥城人口众多”正确。故选B项。CYouth volunteers from Beijing University visited Songtang Hospital,a care clinic for the aged and dying patients,during the second Global Youth Service Day on April 21.Thirty student

101、gs take revenge on Mexicans because many of pigs are killed【答案】48. D 49. B 50. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了猪流感的相关信息。【48题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“WHILE reports of a unique form of flu-swine flu-were appearing around the world,there was the question:Is this the next big one?(当关于一种罕见形式流感报道猪流感在世界各地出现时，有一个问题：这是
102、下一个大流行病吗？)”可知，文章主要介绍了猪流感的相关信息，故选D项。【49题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段内容“Pigs are considered particularly susceptible（易受影响的）to both bird and human viruses.They are a likely place for genetic change that might lead to a new form of flu that spreads easily.”可知，人们认为猪尤其容易受鸟类和人类病毒的影响，它们是病毒可能发生基因变化的地方，这可能导致容易传播的新病毒，所以B
103、项“当猪受到鸟类和人类病毒的侵害时，基因因素发生变化”表述正确，故选B项。【50题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“Is this the new virus that will kill millions,like the pandemics(流行疾病)of 1918,1957 and 1968?(这是像1918年，1957年和1968年那样将导致数以百万计的死亡的新病毒吗？)”可推知，这不是猪流感第一次出现，故选B项。【点睛】第四部分：写作第一节：完成句子阅读下列各小题，根据括号内汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。51. Creative th
104、inking,_(它是最受到高度重视的技能之一)in society，is a matter of habits.(value)（根据汉语意思完成句子)【答案】which is one of the most highly valued skills【解析】【详解】考查非限制性定语从句和固定句型。句意：创造性思维是社会上最受重视的技能之一，它是一种习惯。该空修饰前面的名词creative thinking，用非限制性定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，由which引导该从句；关系词替代先行词，Creative thinking是抽象名词，定语从句中谓语动词用
105、单数，one of + 形容词最高级+ 可数名词复数，表示“最.之一”，该用法是固定用法。故填which is one of the most highly valued skills。52. He seems_(失去了写作的欲望).(desire) （根据汉语意思完成句子)【答案】to have lost desire write【解析】【详解】考查不定式的完成时。句意：他似乎失去了写作的欲望。seem to do似乎，该用法是固定用法，“他失去了写作的欲望”这个动作先于谓语动词动作的发生，用不定式的完成时，所以填to have lost desire write。53. Only over
106、 18_(他才能参加) the navy.(able)（根据汉语意思完成句子)【答案】is he able to join【解析】【详解】考查部分倒装。句意：只有过了18岁，他才能加入海军。由句意可知，此句表事实，时态一般现在时，Only +状语，放句首，主谓部分倒装，结构为“Only +状语+助动词/系动词/情态动词+主语+部分谓语”，固定搭配 be able to do sth.（能干某事），原句为 he is able to join the navy only over 18，倒装后为Only over 18 is he able to join the navy。故填is he ab
107、le to join。54. He made a suggestion_(学生学点实际的东西).(practical)（根据汉语意思完成句子)【答案】that students (should) learn something practical【解析】【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：他建议学生学点实际的东西。分析句子结构可知， 空处引导一个同位语从句，解释说明suggestion的内容，用that引导，从句应使用虚拟语气，即谓语部分使用“（should）+动词原形”，主语是students，“学习”使用动词learn，“实际的东西”使用something practical，形容词修饰不定代词应
108、置于不定代词后，故填that students (should) learn something practical。55. My house_(现在正在粉刷).(paint)（根据汉语意思完成句子)【答案】is being painted【解析】【详解】考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：我的房子正在被粉刷。描述正在发生的动作，用现在进行时；“我的房子”和“粉刷”之间是被动关系，用被动语态；My house是单数，谓语动词用单数，所以填is being painted。56. _(厌倦了秘书的工作), he turned to driving a taxi.(tired)（根据汉语意思完成句子)
109、【答案】Tired of the job as a secretary【解析】【详解】考查形容词和短语。句意：他厌倦了秘书的工作，转而开出租车。表示“厌倦”短语为tired of，此处为形容词作状语，句首单词首字母要大写，结合其他汉语提示。故填Tired of the job as a secretary。57. The girl_(梦想成为一名音乐家)since she was just a girl.(dream)（根据汉语意思完成句子)【答案】has dreamt of becoming a musician【解析】【详解】考查动词短语。句意：自从还是小女孩的时候，这个女孩就梦想成为一名
110、音乐家。根据since she was just a girl可知，句子应使用现在完成时，“梦想做某事”使用动词短语dream of doing sth.，“成为一名音乐家”译为become a musician，主语The girl是单数，故填has dreamt of becoming a musician。58. _(据我所知),he is the best choice for the work.(as)（根据汉语意思完成句子)【答案】As far as I know【解析】【详解】考查固定短语。句意：据我所知，他是这个工作的最佳人选。空处表示“据我所知”，使用固定短语as far a
111、s I know，注意句首单词的首字母大写，故填As far as I know。59. She enjoys_(接受采访).(interview)（根据汉语意思完成句子)【答案】being interviewed【解析】【详解】考查动名词的被动语态。句意：她喜欢接受采访。“采访”使用动词interview，enjoy后接动词时接动名词形式，且动词interview与主语She之间是被动关系，所以使用动名词的被动语态，故填being interviewed。60. He never wrote_(和他的处女作一样好的书)again.(so)（根据汉语意思完成句子)【答案】so good a b
112、ook as his first one【解析】【详解】考查比较级结构。“和一样好”的表达是so goodas。处女作是his first one。这里考查的是同级相比的情况，故翻译成：so good a book as his first one。第二节：短文写作61. 电子游戏是很多中学生喜爱的娱乐活动之一，人们对此看法不一。上周你班就这一问题进行了一场讨论。请你根据以下内容，用英语写一篇短文。70%的学生认为1. 沉迷于游戏，不能集中精力学习2. 很少有时间和朋友交流，会缺乏社交能力3. 暴力游戏会滋生侵略行为，比暴力电影影响更大。30%的学生认为1. 有助于培养创造性和快速反应，对学习
