15、u can find out.There may be a watch on your wrist;there may be a clock on the wall,desk,or computer screen;or maybe youre riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).Even if you dont have a timepiece of some sort nearby,your body keeps its own beat.Humans have an internal clock that regu
16、lates (调节) the beating of our heart,the pace of our breathing,the discharge （排出） of chemicals within our bloodstream,and many other bodily functions.Time is something from which we cant escape.Even if we ignore it,its still going by,ticking away,second by second,minute by minute,hour by hour.So the
17、main issue in using your time well is“Whos in charge?”We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy.Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.By taking control of how you spend your time,youll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student.Perhaps more importantly,the bet
18、ter you are at managing the time you devote to your studies,the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day.Instead,the aim is to permit us to make
19、 informed choices as to how we use our time.Rather than letting the day go by,largely without our awareness,what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.36.The underlined word “ally” in Para.3 most likely means somebody or something that is .A.your s
20、lave and serves youB.your supporter and helps youC.under your control and obeys youD.under your influence and follows you37.The author intends to tell us that time .A.could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watchB.could be managed by the internal clock of human bodiesC.should be well
21、managed for our own interestD.should be saved for outside interests38.In the next part,the author would most probably discuss with you .A.how to keep up with the timesB.how to make up for lost timeC.how to have a good timeD.how to make good use of timeBAmerican cities are similar to other cities aro
22、und the world:In every country,cities reflect the values of the culture.American cities are changing,just as American society is changing.After World War ,the population of most large American cities decreased;however,the population in many Sun Belt cities increased.Los Angeles and Houston are citie
23、s where population shift（转移）to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society. In the late 1940s and early 1950s,city residents（居民）became wealthier. They had more children so they needed more space.They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought
24、houses in the suburbs（郊区）.Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. Many, unlike their parents,want to live in the cities. They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest. Many young professionals are mov
25、ing back into the city. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers.This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the
26、 owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.Only a few years ago,people thought that the older America
27、n cities were dying.Some city residents now see a bright,new future.Others see only problems and conflicts.One thing is sure:many dying cities are alive again.39.What does the author think of cities all over the world?A.They are alive.B.They are hopeless.C.They are similar.D.They are different.40.Wh
28、y did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World War ?A.Because older American cities were dying.B.Because they were richer and needed more space.C.Because cities contained the worst parts of society.D.Because they could hardly afford to live in the city.41.According to the 4th
29、paragraph,a great many poor people in American cities .A.are faced with housing problemsB.are forced to move to the suburbsC.want to sell their buildingsD.need more money for daily expenses42.We can conclude from the text that .A.American cities are changing for the worseB.people have different view
30、s on American citiesC.many people are now moving from American citiesD.the population is decreasing in older American citiesCYou may have heard the term “the American Dream”.In 1848,James W.Marshall found gold in California and people began having golden dreams.That 19th century “American Dream” mot
31、ivated (激发起)the Gold Rush and gave California its nickname of the “Golden State”.The American Dream drove not only 1800s gold-rush prospectors but also waves of immigrants throughout that century and the next.People from Europe,and a large number of Chinese,arrived in the US in the 19th century hopi
32、ng that in America they would find gold in the streets.But most,instead,worked as railroad laborers.They created the oldest Chinatown,in San Francisco,and gave the city a Chinese name “the old gold hill”.In the 20th century,some critics said that it was no longer possible to become prosperous throug
33、h determination and hard work.Unfair education for students from poor families and racial discrimination almost made the American Dream a nightmare.Then,in the 1990s,California saw a new wave of dreamers in Silicon Valley.People poured their energy into the Internet.This new chapter of the American
34、Dream attracted many business people and young talents from China and India to form start-ups and seek fortunes in America.Better pay,a nice house,and a rising standard of living will always be attractive.However,the new American Dream is no longer just about money.It encourages Americans to consume
35、 wisely to protect the environment,improve the quality of life,and promote social justice.The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has become the model of the new American Dream.After years of hard work,he grew from a poor young man from Austria into a movie superstar and then governor.Man
36、y people hope his story can save the American Dream and give California a brighter future.43.It can be inferred that .A.Americas golden dream could never be realizedB.Americas golden dream had bought great fortunes to Chinese immigrantsC.each period of time has its own taste of the American dreamD.d
37、etermination and hard work are the best way to realize the American dream44.Why did most of the early immigrants work as railroad laborers?A.Because they could earn more money as railroad laborers.B.Because they had to make a living by working as railroad laborers.C.Because they thought railroad was
38、 the first step to find gold.D.Because railroad laborers were greatly honored at that time.45.The underlined sentence “his story can save the American Dream” (in the last paragraph) indicates that .A.the dream of seeking fortune in America is easy to realizeB.most of the immigrants to America dont r
39、each their previous goalC.the success of Arnold Schwarzenegger is among the common examples of the immigrantsD.the immigrants have made great contributions to California46.Whats the best title of the passage?A.Wave of Immigrants to AmericaB.Make Fortunes AbroadC.Hard Work Leads to SuccessD.Changes o
40、f Americas Golden DreamDIt was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night.The morning after the storm,though,was beautiful:blue skies,warm air and a calm,inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realised it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him.I was o
41、nly 14 and fishing had never been my thing,but I decided to go all the same.Im so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast,but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape.After all,it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to
42、 the sea.As we got on board,we noticed two big humps（脊背） in the distance.On approaching them,we saw it was a mother whale with her baby.We couldnt believe itthere arent any whales along the coast here.The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay,in which the still water was so badly
43、 polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whaleactually as big as our boatwas obviously stuck and could not move.The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly,making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves.“Shes trying to help her baby,but on the wrong side,”my father said.At this point,my f
44、ather moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and,heading the boat towards the baby whale,pushed it gently.With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water.Then it swam up right beside its mum.They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed
45、 the exit and started heading in the wrong direction.We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel.Slowly,they let us lead them,sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breatheand to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes.Once they hit their first part of
46、 clean water flowing straight from the sea,the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes,but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half.That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day.Nearl
47、y four decades later,I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.47.The author says “Im so glad I did.”（in Para. 2）because .A.he witnessed the whole process of fishingB.he enjoyed the beauty of the calm seaC.he experienced the rescue of the whalesD.he spent the weekend with his family48.The h
48、arbour survived the storm owing to .A.the shape of the harbourB.the arms of the bayC.the still water in the channelD.the long coast line49.The mother whale failed to help her baby because .A.she had stayed in the polluted water for too longB.the whirlpools she had made were not big enoughC.she had n
49、o other whales around to turn to for helpD.the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction50.What is the theme of the story?A.Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.B.Fishing provides excitement for children.C.Its necessary to live in harmony with animals.D.Its vital to protect the environ
50、ment.IV. 书面表达（满分30分） 假设你是李华，在出国交流学习期间，到当地一家电影院看了一场精彩的电影，但在观看过程中发现了一些问题。请你根据下列提示用英语给影院经理写一封信。（1）因广告过多，影片放映晚点；（2）影片播放音量过大；（3）安全出口标得不明晰，存在安全隐患。 答案与解析1.Bwhile是并列连词，表对比，意为“而，但是”。2.B本题考查倒装结构。“So+主语+助动词”表示“确实如此”，“So+助动词+主语”表示“也一样”。3.Dput away 收好，放好；take down写下，记下；look over从上面看；察看，检查；carry on继续。句意：吃完饭，经理们回到
51、会议室继续讨论。4.A该题提供的四个短语意义较广，解答该题的关键必须结合句子意思进行排除从而得出正确答案。carry out执行，实行；get through完成，度过，通过；take in吸收，领会；set aside不理会，搁置。句意：这是一个好主意，但谁去执行这个计划呢？根据句意可知选carry out。5.B由句意“我今天晚上就要动身了，我已经买好了机票。”可知此处表将来,D项为过去将来时,与主句时态不一致。6.Abury ones head in books意为“埋头看书”。7.C名词position“位置；状况，环境”（=condition)；situation（=conditio
52、n;state of affairs)“状态，事态”；state“（人或物在环境、外观、心情、健康等方面的）状态，情况，情形”。由语境可知，此处表示的是她的身体状况很差,所以使用state。8.Dget on board the plane意为“上飞机”。9.C本题考查短语辨析。in place“在平常的或应在的地方”；in condition“在某种状况下”；in order“按照一定的顺序”；in private表示“在私下里或无人在场”。根据题意“孩子们排成队按照顺序走出去”可知选C。10.D考查动词的用法及与句意的结合。last意为“持续”。11.Aguess about表示“猜测”，
53、其后跟的应该是宾语从句。由于do or think为及物动词短语，故空格处既要引导宾语从句，又要在从句中用作宾语，故可排除that;由于没有明确的范围，故可排除which；从句意看该处应指物而不指人，故可排除whom。12.Cin praise of“赞美，赞扬”；in place of“代替”；in memory of“为了纪念”；in need of“需要”。13.Chouse在此句中为动词，意为“给（某人）提供住所”。其他选项均不符合语境。14.Aremain意为“剩下，留下”，是不及物动词。leave是及物动词，若用被动结构也对。15.B（the）police通常用作复数意义指警方人员
54、;search搜(身);search for=look for寻找。16.Bexpress“表达”，一般用来表达某人的情感、观点等。而此处是“有很多事实表明了”，tell在此处作“show”讲，指“表明，显示”。17.Dhead指最高职位，如headmaster校长，the head of English department (英语系主任);而leader指“领导人物”,是一抽象概念，不可明确指第一把手。18.A到现在为止仍然存在。19.B根据上句中was,is and will be可知，是指从过去、现在乃至将来的这一段时间里。所以用near指“在近1 000年里”。20.C由上下文可知，
55、英国法官到现在还仍然穿着长燕尾服，正如在许多香港电影镜头里显示的一样，相当于as they are shown.。21.D香港曾经为英国的殖民地，所以当然是被迫采用英国的制度。22.C作“尽管，不管”解时，despite是介词，后接短语，其他三项为连词须引导从句。23.Aterm这里指“术语，专业名词”，此处句意为“尽管封建阶级只是历史上的一个专业术语”。24.Baccept指“主观乐意接纳”，符合上下文。25.Ckeeping不但含有“现在建立”，而且含有“一直沿用”之意。26.Aof no value意为“毫无价值的”。27.C由上下文可知。28.Dsay goodbye to指“对说再见
56、”，表达了英国人难以丢掉旧东西的本性。29.B此处指英国最早地完成工业革命，进入了新时代，但在思想上却仍然守旧，没有更新。complete比较符合文义。30.Aintroduce在这里指“引进”。receive指客观接纳，而此题指他们主观上不愿接纳。31.B依上下文可知，forgotten相当于“丢掉”。32.A与上文的suspicious相对应。33.D指英国不同意英镑融入欧元。34.Breform符合文章大意，英国惧怕变化、改革。35.C英国人不愿谈论改革，因为他们守旧。36.B前一句说“我们可以让时间流逝或让它成为我们的敌人”。后句用or表示相反的意思，即：我们可以控制时间，让时间成为我
57、们的朋友，故选B项。37.C由全文得知，作者意在告诉我们要充分安排好时间，做自己喜欢的事情，而不是成为时间的奴隶。38.D由文章最后一句话“.can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.”可知D项内容正确。39.C细节理解题。从文章第一段中的“American cities are similar to other cities around the world.”可知。A、B两项太绝对，D项与文章相矛盾。40.B细节理解题。从第二段后四句“In the late 1940s and early 1950s,city
58、 residents（居民）became wealthier. They had more children so they needed more space.They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs（郊区）.”可知人们二战后迁向郊区是受了经济和生存空间这两个因素的影响。A项错在并非所有的 older American cities都趋向于灭亡；C、D两项论述明显与原文不符。41.A细节理解题。 由第四段中的“Countles
59、s poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent.”可知答案应为A。42.B主旨大意题。由全文特别是最后一段可知，人们的观点因受时代发展的影响而发生了较大的变化。A项说法太绝对，这些变化我们不能简单地以好和坏来评价。C项过于片面，文中提到很多年轻人正往城市迁移；D项与文章最后一句相矛盾。43.C推理判断题。短文中提到：19世纪的“美国梦”激发起的是淘金
60、热；在20世纪90年代，加利福尼亚的硅谷涌现出了新的梦想家。新的美国梦却不仅仅只在乎金钱。它还促使美国人进行理性的消费，注重环保，提高生活质量及促进社会公正。由此可推断出不同时期美国梦的主题不同。44.B推理判断题。第二段提到：19世纪，欧洲人以及大批中国人涌入美国。在他们的心目中，美国是一个遍地黄金的国度。但现实并非如此，很多人并没有找到黄金，为了生计，大部分移民最终只能做铁路劳工。45.B句意推测题。短文第三段提到：贫困生得不到公平的受教育机会，种族歧视盛行，美国梦几乎沦为一场噩梦。加利福尼亚州的州长阿诺施瓦辛格的成功只是移民中实现了美国梦的典范，使移民们看到了一线希望。此句的表面意思是“
61、很多人希望他的故事能够挽救美国梦”。由此推测可知：绝大多数移民并没有达到他们预期的目标。46.D主旨大意题。通读全文可知，1848年，马歇尔在加利福尼亚州发现了金子，于是人们开始做起了寻金梦。19世纪的“美国梦”激发起的是淘金热。到了20世纪，很多评论家指出，光凭坚强意志和勤奋工作已经不可能发大财。在20世纪90年代，人们对因特网激情高涨，美国梦新的篇章由此揭开。中国和印度的很多商界人士以及年轻精英来此创业，寻求发财致富之路。这场新的美国梦更关注生活质量。由此可知全文的标题是：美国梦的演变。47.C词义猜测题。这句话的意思是“很高兴我陪同爸爸去钓鱼了”，正因为如此我才有了值得珍惜的、可回忆的救
62、助鲸母子的经历。48.B细节理解题。由第三段的第二句话After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea.可知，由于海湾的保护，海港躲过了暴风雨。49.D细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Shes trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. 以及They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit
63、 and started heading in the wrong direction.可知，鲸妈妈没能救出小鲸的原因是她推错了方向，没有找到出海湾的通道。50.A主旨大意题。全文讲述的是作者与父亲救助鲸从而感到幸福的故事，故选A。One possible version：Dear Manager,Im an exchange student from China.Yesterday,I went to your cinema to see a film.The film was good,but I did not enjoy it because there were some probl
64、ems in the cinema.First,the film was delayed as there were so many advertisements at the beginning.It was rather annoying.Secondly,the sound of the film was so loud that I could hardly bear it.Thirdly,the EXIT signs could not be seen clearly,which presented potential safety hazards.And if something
65、terrible should happen,it would be difficult for people to get out quickly.As a visitor to your city,Im disappointed with my experience in your cinema.Im writing this letter in the hope that you can consider these problems and make some improvements.
