dstolen解析：句意：他一下班回来就发现家被盗了。房子是不可能被偷(steal)的，故排除c、d两项；house与rob之间是动宾关系，所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。答案：b4(2012南平模拟)he is an independent person.he always _ any offer of help.adeclines bdeniescrejects

than“多于”。本句为强调句，意为“在这次事故中，是我而不是我的父母应受到责备”，故第一空应填rather than；这里强调的是i而不是my parents，故谓语动词用am，选b项。答案：b6traffic regulations _ people from riding bicycles on the sidewalk.astop bprohibitcprevent dkeep解析：四个选项都可以与from搭配，stop sb. from doing, prevent sb. from doing 和keep sb. from doing都是“阻止某人做某事”；prohibit“禁止”。句意：交通法规禁止人们在人行道上骑车。所以选b。答案：b7it has been revealed that some government leaders _ their

squeak!what is that? if youre going through puberty (青春期), it could be your voice. both boys and girls experience voice changes as they grow older, but girls voices get only a little deeper. a boys voice, on the other hand, may change quite a bit from sounding like a little kid to sounding like somebodys dad!how does this happen? the larynx, your voice box, actually gets bigger during puberty. one of its jobs is to let you talk, sing, hum, yell, laugh, and make all sorts of noises.when a boy reaches puberty, his body begins making lots of testosterone (睾丸素), which causes his larynx to grow and his vocal cords (声带) to get longer and thicker.before puberty, your larynx is pretty small and your vocal cords are kind of small and thin. thats why your voice is higher than an adults. as you go through puberty, the larynx changes. as your body adjusts to this changing equipment, your voice may “crack” or “break”. but this process lasts only a few months.not only do older guys and men sound different from boys, but you can also see the difference in their necks. when the larynx grows bigger, part of it sticks out inside the neck.you can see it at the front of the throat. this is known as the adams apple. for girls, the larynx also grows bigger but not as much as in boys, so you cant see it through a girls skin.everyones timetable is different, so some kids voices might start to change earlier and some might start a little later.some voices might drop gradually, while others might drop quickly.if this hasnt happened to you yet, dont worry. and if youre going through this now, try not to stress too much about the funny noises you make. it can help to talk to a parent, or a friend whos already gone through the voice change. before you know it, your voice will sound clear, strong, and more grownup!语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了青春期的男孩儿和女孩儿声音发生变化的原因。1whats the text mainly about?afunny noises. bvocal cords.cvoice changes. dthe adams

midwest might find a fact hard to believe, though. the scientists suggest that the change in the midwest climate may have happened because of farming.the first study was led by david changnon, a climatologist (气候学家) at northern illinois university in dekalb.changnon and his team studied temperature records from the sites in the midwest. they found that since 1970, the average temperature in the region during july and august has gone down by up to one degree fahrenheit (华氏度) from what it was during the years between 1930 and 1969. their investigation also showed that the average rainfall in those states during those two months has increased. between 1970 and 2009, about 0.33 inches more rain fell than between 1930 and 1969.these_changes may be connected by humidity (湿度), changnon says. humidity is the measure of how much moisture is in the air. humid air, which contains a lot of moisture，takes longer to heat up than dry air, changnon notes. and humid air often releases its moisture through rainfall.so where did the extra moisture in the air come from？changnon points to farms in the region. as plants grow, they pull moisture from the ground and release it into the air. and among plants, soybean (大豆) and corn plants release a lot of moisture. midwestern farms now plant more soybeans and corn than in the past, with 97 percent of farmland today planted with these two crops. in the 1930s, corn and soybeans covered only about 57 percent, changnon says. he also notes that the plants are planted closer together now than they used to be, so there are more plants per acre than in the past.the second study, like changnons, also found an increase in rainfall in the same area. but it points to another possible source for the increased moisture. alan robock at rutgers university was part of the team that produced the second study and presented the groups findings. the team found that irrigation practices in the great plains have changed over the years. the researchers studied a vast area in the region. they found that in 1930, farmers in that region irrigated only about 1.8 million acres of farmland. in 1980, however, farmers irrigated nearly 15 million acres. plants use the water and then release it into the air.these results by changnon and robock and their colleagues are the first step toward understanding a change in the weather.语篇解读：这是一篇科普类说明文。全球变暖是一个不争的事实，然而在美国中西部地区人们却感受不到这种变化，这是为什么呢？5what does the underlined term “these changes” refer to?alower temperatures and more rainfall.bhigher temperatures and high humidity.cmaking a record both in the past and now.dthe two periods of the 40year investigation.解析：代词指代题。上文中提到1970年以来，七月和八月的平均温度比1930年到1969年这段时间下降了1华氏度，而平均降雨量增加了0.33英寸。由此可知“these changes”指的是：温度降低，降雨量增多。答案：a6which of the following could be the possible sources for the increased moisture in the us midwest?ascientists research and farmers attention.bless farmland and more plants.cmore plants and irrigation practices.dnatural reservoirs and underground rivers.解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容和第四段中的第二、四句话和最后一句可知空气湿度增加的原因是c项。答案：c7the studies show that in americas midwest，_.athe average temperature is getting higher and higherbmore and more farmland has been desertedcthe amount of rain is closely related to the temperaturedsummers are now cooler and wetter than they were in years past解析：推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，近四十年美国中西部地区七月和八月的平均气温比前四十年的平均气温要低1华氏度而降雨量多0.33英寸。由此可知d项正确。答案：d8according to the passage, irrigating more and more plants means _.amaking more space for farms and buildingsbmaking more and more water into the air, and thus causing more raincmore farms depending on watersaving systemsdusing plants to change the climate解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的plants use the water and then release it into the air可知，植物吸收灌溉的水，然后再将水释放到空气中，从而形成降雨。答案：bb卷.完形填空(2012南昌二模)it was a warm march evening, and id just taken a seat on the bus that would take me home. it was nearly 6：00 pm., but

dproudly解析：根据上文中“she was crying.”可知她“眼泪汪汪地”讲述自己的遭遇。答案：a3a.got bsnatchedcpulled dcaught解析：小偷“抢夺”了她的一个包，其他动词不符合文意。答案：b4a.surprisingly bpeacefullycnaturally dfortunately解析：上文“it had contained half of the money shed brought with her. the other half was hidden under her blouse”，说明她身上还剩下另一半钱，这对她来说是幸运的。答案：d5a.in rags bshylychappily din disorder解析：从上下文看不出老人上汽车时是shyly还是happily，而从下文中老人付不起车费可推知他很贫穷，所以用in

not”可以看出老人承认他没有钱。答案：c10a.spends bhas spentchad spent dwas spent解析：主语是he，宾语是his money，所以不能用被动形式，排除d项；主句谓语用的是一般过去时态，而且从句谓语动词表示的动作发生在主句之前，所以答案是c项。答案：c11a.asked borderedcled dbegged解析：听到老人说自己真的没有钱，售票员命令老人下车，毫不客气。asked虽然在句式结构上没有错误，但是语气上不如ordered重。答案：b12a.so buntilcif dwhen解析：老人恳求售票员让他搭乘这辆车，这样的话他天黑之前就能到家了，所以用so。答案：a13a.arrangement bcommandcadvice
