25、me were the perfect playground.I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake.”可知，在童年时期，作者可以到大自然中尽情地玩耍，所以不会觉得无聊。9How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?AHe thought he would be scolded by his parents.BHe felt contradictory in mind.CHe thought he would be trapped in the woods.DHe was
26、 unconscious.B解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear Turn around and head back home，but I was stubborn，so I walked on.” 可知，在探险之初，作者虽想放弃，但还是选择了继续走下去；根据下文可知，作者虽然担心害怕，但仍然继续前行。由此可推知，在探险过程中他的内心是矛盾的。10What does “something” probably mean in Paragraph 3?ADoubt.

46、种高尚的目标”的举例。20B解析：根据该空后的the debts you paid off or the friends youve made可知，应该回首自己近来的成就。第二部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。When I was about 11 years old, one day, I was at my friend Jennys house after school, and we were doing homework.While I was
47、there, a friend of Jennys mom came over to visit.I dont remember her name or _21_ what her face looked like.I just remember her _22_， her voice and the lesson she taught me.I can still see her hands reaching out for mine in our _23_They were so beautiful, I thought.Then I heard her saying, not at al
48、l in a condescending(居高临下) manner.“Oh no, that is not _24_ you shake hands.Let me show you how.”After that, I just remember her voice explaining the _25_ of a good handshake, _26_ a positive sense of _27_， looking the other person in the eye, making that first moment _28_.I think in that exchange I

51、our _39_I think of her every time I meet someone _40_ and Im so thankful for her little lesson.21A.else BevenCstill DotherwiseB解析：作者此处的表达方式为欲擒故纵，为突出后面对方教给她正确的握手方式做铺垫。对方叫什么名字作者不记得，更不记得对方长什么样。为了突出后面事物的程度，我们用even，而or else连在一起，意思是“否则的话”，相当于otherwise。22A.figure BarmsCeyes DhandsD解析：把握全文，作者的中心是对别人教给她正确的握手
52、方式而念念不忘，因此文章围绕着“握手”这一中心话题而展开，令作者感到难以忘怀的也是对方的手。如果选figure“身影”，显然没有扣准文章的中心。23A.expectation BintroductionCinterview DreceptionB解析：根据文章的语境和常识判断，作者和对方是第一次见面，要互相介绍，要握手，从而引出文章的中心。选“期望”，“面试”，“接待”，显然是脱离了文章的具体语境。24A.how BwhenCwhy DwhereA解析：根据语境和常识判断，作者是一个11岁的孩子，因此不知道怎样跟别人握手，即不知道握手的正确方式是很自然的事情。25A.procedure Bva
53、lueCattraction DimportanceD解析：看到作者不会跟别人握手，对方教给她正确的握手方式，很自然地会谈起正确握手的重要性。四个选项中干扰性比较大的是value“价值”，用来修饰“握手”这一行为，显然不妥当。procedure意思是“程序”，也不能用来表示“握手”。26A.indicating BconveyingCpredicting DproducingB解析：此处对方还是向作者介绍正确的握手方式的重要性：正确的握手方式能够把自己积极的一面传达出来，convey表示“传达”；indicate意思是“暗示，预示”；predict意思是“预言”；produce表示“生产产品”
54、。27A.self BprideCothers DimpressionA解析：根据具体的语境和常识判断，正确的握手方式能够传达握手者自己的形象，因此用self。28A.preserve BoccurCmatter DlastC解析：根据常识判断，人们握手时会给对方留下第一印象，因此，第一次见面的时刻非常重要，所以选动词matter，当“关键；重要”讲。last多表示时间的“持续”，显然第一次见面的时刻瞬间即逝，不可能一直持续下去。preserve多指对动植物的“保护”。29A.manners BequalityCcharm DrespectD解析：文章下文多次提到“尊敬”，握手这一动作显然能体
55、现彼此的尊重，而作者此刻也明白了什么是尊重。选“礼貌”，“平等”，“迷人”，显然是没有很好地理解作者的意图。30A.time BchanceCefforts DoccasionA解析：作者非常感激，因为对方非常耐心地教给她这些道理。对方并没有忽视作者，或敷衍作者，而是拿出时间来教育作者。此处说明对方的耐心，如果选B，则表示抓住“机会”，显然这并不是什么机会。make efforts to do sth.表示“努力做”，因此C项不符合搭配和此处的语境。31A.recalled BpreferredCappreciated DrealizedC解析：作者在文章中好几次提到对对方的感激，因此此处还是
56、表达作者的感激之情，用appreciate表示“感激；欣赏”。32A.look BstandCbend DtalkD解析：作者非常感激对方，还有一个重要原因是对方没有把自己当作一个孩子看待，没有居高临下的姿态。此处强调对方和作者谈话的方式。bend down意思是“弯下腰来”；look down upon/on意思是“瞧不起，歧视”。33A.know BlikeCfeel DcorrectA解析：根据语境判断，此处作者还是说明自己对握手的无知，所以选know。34A.reminded BtreatedCtaught DhelpedB解析：此处作者作了概括，作者感激对方是因为对方对自己的尊重，即
57、以平等的方式对待作者。35A.close BgoodCreal DgreatC解析：承接上文，作者为自己能够被当作一个真正的人来对待而感到高兴。而a great person表示“伟人”。36A.general BextremeCrealistic DwrongA解析：根据语境判断，此处作者非常感激对方，因为对方没有按照普遍的观点来对待一个11岁的孩子。大人很容易把一个11岁的孩子当作小孩子来对待，这不能说是“极端”，也不能说这是错误，因此不选B或D。37A.short BcarefulCaware DfondC解析：对方向作者灌输了一种观点：当别人不知道，或者没有意识到什么事情的时候，要教对
58、方。be aware of意思是“意识到”，符合语境和题意；be fond of意思是“喜欢”不符合题意。38A.way BdirectionCaspect DstageB解析：本题极易受汉语思维的影响而选way。in the right way表示“以正确的方式”，而此处作者表示的意思是：把对方引导到正确的方向上来，而不是教育别人的方式。39A.knowledge BsenseCwisdom DexperienceA解析：前文作者说到学会了正确的握手方式，这显然是一种“知识”，而不是“经验”或“智慧”，因此此处作者的用意是号召大家分享自己的知识，而不要保守。40A.important Bst
59、rangeCfamiliar DnewD解析：文章叙述的是学会握手的过程。因此此处表示每当第一次见到一个人的时候，作者会情不自禁地想起朋友母亲的那位朋友，用new符合逻辑。someone strange意思是“奇怪的人”，而表达“陌生人”，英语用stranger。第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。We think that life in Chinese high school is an adventure in which we have to survive mountains of homework and

64、句。空处引导宾语从句，在从句中作宾语，表示物的概念，故填what。45academic解析：考查形容词。修饰名词应用形容词，故用形容词academic修饰名词performance，作定语。46Otherwise解析：考查副词。根据语境可知，此处表示否则他们高中毕业后就会感到失望，故用副词otherwise，意为“否则”，作状语。47freedom解析：考查名词。由定冠词the可知，此处应用名词，即freedom。48them解析：考查代词。此处应用宾格形式，作动词interest的宾语，故用them。49in解析：考查介词。in the classroom意为“在教室里”，符合语境，故用介词
65、in。50younger解析：考查形容词比较级。根据上文可知，9年级和12年级的学生比较，自然是年轻一些，故用形容词的比较级形式，即younger。第三部分写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2.只允许修改10处，多者(
