do not usually think about how our language works. talking is such a natural, everyday activity that we do not often stop to consider how it actually works. when we do study our language, though, we are often surprised that we are able to understand our conversations. words can mean so many different things. however, it turns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work.first, the speaking situation helps make words more particular. for example, the word “dog” can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a dream. it can also be used to discuss a neighbors dog. no language has a separate word for the idea “dog that i saw yesterday” and another word for the idea “dog that i saw in a dream.” this is because the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words. so, when you have a conversation with your neighbor, the knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word “dog” probably means in that situation.the speaking situation also helps make language clearer. for example, the word “bank” has two possible meanings. it can mean “a place where people keep money,” but it can also mean “the side of a river.” so the sentence “i went to the bank” is not clear. it could mean i went to the side of the river or it could mean i went to the place where my money is kept. however, if the speaker is talking about fishing or going to the mountains, others probably know that “bank” means “the side of a river.”the things that speakers say may not always be clear. sometimes the words are not very particular, but the speaking situation can provide the meaning. other times words may have many meanings. then the speaking situation limits the right meaning. this extra knowledge from the situation is very important to understand language.21.the passage is mainly about _.a.the best time and place to talk to others b.how speaking situation helps language work c.what to say in difficult situations d.how our language works22.according to the passage, we can safely say that _.a.a speaking situation does not affect the meaning of wordsb.speaking is not very natural for most people c.a speaking situation is not important d.people often do not consider how talking works 23.by using the example of the word “dog”, the writer wants to show that _.a.a word may need to be explained in a conversationb.a word may have different meaningsc.speaking situation helps people understand the particular meaning of a wordd.the meaning of words is not particular24.according to the passage, we can know the meaning of the word “bank” by referring to _.a.the time and the place where the conversation happensb. the occupation of the person who uses the wordc. earlier or later parts of the conversationd. a reliable dictionarybi met bobby four years ago in brazil. he wanted me to help him get into the central part of the rainforest, where the tourists dont go, so i gave him a few of my contacts and we kept in touch. he made a fortune before the age of 40, and now he spends his time wandering on the planet looking for projects to support where concrete baby steps matter and can make a very big difference.hes funding the reconstruction of a temple in bhutan, setting up teacher training programs for afghan refugees(难民), assisting the people of rwanda in rebuilding their justice system, and running micro enterprise programs in south africa. nepal, and rwanda.i watch him at work, sitting just outside a group of youngsters: he begins a lively conversation with a bright yellow duck. he whispers to it to be quiet and well behaved; the duck nods but then begins to attack bobby, who only just manages to control his tiny creature. the children begin to stare at the strange sight of this big man and his naughty duck, bursting into laughter when the duck gets the better of him. they move closer, and the duck starts to tease the children. some of them run away laughing while others get closer.a young man attempts to give bobby a can of some soft drink, saying something in nepalese.“pema, whats this kid saying? whys he trying to give me this can?”pema talks to the boy, who is about 12. “he says you saved his grandmothers life last year, mr. bobby. she needed an operation in katmandu, and you put her in the helicopter. he says the family wants to thank you, and this is all they have to give you.” the big guy from boston is suddenly quiet and clearly touched by the gesture. my two lasting memories of this extraordinary and complex man will be of him chasing the village kids like a fool, and the next reduced almost to tears by this simple gift.25. bobby went into the rainforest because_. .a. he wished to become wealthy b. he wanted to protect wildlifec. he was fond of taking pictures d. he was crazy about tourism26. the underlined part “gets the better of him” (in the third paragraph) means_. .a. gains an advantage over bobby b. eats nice food from bobbyc. gives in to bobby d. is brought under bobbys control 27. it can be inferred from the passage that pema is probably _. .a. the author b. bobbys son c. a doctor d. a loal guide28. whats the purpose of this passage?a. to describe bobbys complex character. b. to reflect the importance of presents.c. to praise bobbys acts of kindness.d. to indicate charity work is based on wealth. cresearchers found that women who had given birth might have a reduced risk of death from several common conditions than those who had not, according to a study released friday by the imperial college london (icl).the study, led by icl researchers, was published in the journal bmc medicine. it investigates the association between the so-called reproductive factors(生殖因素) - such as having children and breastfeeding（母乳喂养） - and a womans risk of death.researchers analyzed data from 322,972 women across 10 countries, including the uk, france, germany and sweden, with an average age of 50.each woman was followed for an average of 12.9 years. during this period, there were 14,383 deaths overall, which included 5,938 deaths from cancer and 2,404 deaths from circulatory system diseases, according to the study.the team compared reproductive factors with risk of death from several common conditions, such as breast cancer, stroke and heart disease.the researchers found that women who had given birth had a 20 percent reduced risk of death than those who had not. it was also found that there was a reduced risk of death (eight percent) in women who had breastfed compared to those who did not.the risk of death from cancer was lower in those that had given birth compared to those that had not. within this group, the risk was reduced even further in women that gave birth to two or three children in comparison to those who had only one child.hormonal mechanisms may explain the lower risk of death that we observed with breastfeeding and having given birth, as these factors are associated with changes in hormone levels, said dr melissa merritt from icl, who led the study.29.according to the passage, the risk of death from cancer is the lowest in women who _.a. have given birth to no child.b. have given birth to one child.c.have given birth to more than one child.d.have breastfed. 30.according to the research, if a woman has given birth and breastfed, her risk of death will decrease by_. a. 20% b. 28% c. 12% d. 16%31. which of the following might be one of the findings of the research?a. several common conditions lead to womens death.b. reproductive factors are associated with changes in hormone levels. c. women who have given birth live longer than those who have not.d. having children might reduce womens risk of death from some diseases.dlas vegas it was different in the light of day.there was no pop, pop, pop of gunfire, no screams. just a quiet lot of cars abandoned by those, like kassidy owen, who escaped with their lives.“its strange to hear the silence,” owen said, “because all i remember was the noise.” the 22-year-old was one of dozens of concertgoers who returned to the scene of the route 91 harvest festival on wednesday morning to fetch the vehicles they left behind as they fled from a gunman raining down bullets from high above in the tower of the mandalay bay resort and casino across the street. survivors of the deadly mass shooting in las vegas on sunday needed their cars to move on with their lives to get back to work, to school, home. it was the first time they were returning to a scene that would forever change them, when joy and celebration and music turned into killing and horror.before they could move forward, they had to go back to the place where they had thought they were going to die.owen had run to her car to hide and had tried to drive away, but she couldnt. people were running, bodies dropped to the ground, and cars bottlenecked in the parking lot. during a brief pause after more than 10 minutes of gunfire, she worried the lights of her suv made everyone inside a shining target.“theyre shooting again!” her best friends brother screamed. “turn off the car!”thats when she got out and fled.“i just remember shutting the door and running,” owen said. now, nearly three days later, she was back, sitting in the drivers seat of her suv. her eyes were swollen and red. this was a long way from over.“you just keep hearing the gunshots in your head,” owen said.32. why did kassidy owen return to the scene of terror?a. to get back her car for daily life. b. to show sympathy to the victims.c. to search for her missing friends.

（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。if you intend to work with this book seriously, i suggest that you give yourself every advantage by carefully following the laws of learning:space your learning.36 each session may take one half hour to an hour and a half, depending on the amount of material and on your own speed of learning. do one or two sessions at a time-three if youre going strong and are all involved-and always decide when you stop and exactly when you will return. 37 everyone learns at a different pace. fast learners are no better than slow learners-its the end result that counts, not the time it takes you to finish.review.when you start a new session, go back to the last exercise of the previous session, cover your answers, and see how much you remember. 38 test yourself.you are not aiming for a grade when you take the comprehensive tests. 39 you are deciding where repairs have to be made, and especially, you are experiencing a feeling of success at work that is well done.use these tests, as well as the abundant drill exercises, as aids to learning. no one is perfect, no one learns in the exact same way or at the same speed as anyone else. 40 and then, give yourself every opportunity to exploit your actual and potential abilities.but most important of all, as i will remind you several times throughout this book, develop a schedule and stick to it!a. do you have quick recall after a day, or you simply forget everything?b. this approach works better than any other method for learning words.c. on the contrary, you are discovering your weaknesses, if any.d. every chapter of this book is divided into “sessions.”e. real learning goes on only through active participation.f. do not rush-go at your own comfortable speed.g. find the appropriate technique and speed for your unique learning patterns.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45）第一节 完形填空（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四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。a man hired a taxi
