along the lakes and rivers of the northern part of New York.The five tribes (部落) the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca fought with each other for years.In the late 1500s, a wise Iroquois man named Dekanawida had a dream.In his dream, he saw the end of the Indian wars.An Onondaga chief named Hiawatha agreed to help Dekanawida bring peace to the area.Hiawatha traveled from tribe to tribe, trying to persuade the tribal leaders to unite in peace.The leaders realized that if they stopped fighting, they could become a powerful force in the Northeast area.The leaders of the five tribes set up a league, called the Iroquois League, which brought all five tribes together.They set up a kind of democratic (民主的) government in which each tribe had an equal voice.A Great Council was formed.Fortynine chiefs from every tribe were appointed to the Council.The members were all men, but they were chosen by the elder women of the tribes.The Council worked together to solve big issues for the league, while each tribe remained selfgoverning.In 1722, the Iroquois League increased from five to six tribes when the Tuscarora tribe joined them.The Iroquois League controlled the fur trade in the area.They controlled land from Canada to Kentucky.The Iroquois League remained powerful for over 200 years.Then during the War of Independence, most of the Iroquois League sided with the British.After the Americans defeated the British, many Iroquois villages were destroyed.The Iroquois were forced to move and live on reservations (印第安人居留地)This caused the Iroquois League to become less powerful.History shows that the writers of the United States Constitution used some of the same ideas as the Iroquois League.One section of the Iroquois Constitution is entitled “Rights of the People” and might be compared to the “Bill of Rights”The Iroquois Leagues constitution is often called Americas first democracy.语篇解读：本文主要介绍了北美印第安人的易洛魁联盟。21The underlined word “voice” in Paragraph 3 could probably be replaced by“_”AsoundBpowerCsaying Dspeech解析：选B词义猜测题。根据文中的selfgoverning, powerful等字眼可以判断该词的意思最接近于权力，故选B项。22According to the text, the Iroquois League _.Aconsisted of six tribes in the 17th centuryBbecame weak after the War of IndependenceChelped the Americans defeat the BritishDwas greatly supported by the Americans解析：选B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，美国独立战争之后，易洛魁人受到了美国人的打击报复，联盟遭到削弱。23The political system of the Iroquois League _.Awas ignored by American history expertsBhad nothing to do with the “Bill of Rights”Cinfluenced the United States ConstitutionDwas entitled “Rights of the People”解析：选C细节理解题。根据最后一段的“History shows that the writers of the United States Constitution used some of the same ideas as the Iroquois League”可知，易洛魁联盟的政治体制对美国宪法产生了影响。24Which of the following is the best title for the passage?AThe Iroquois LeagueBThe American IndiansCThe culture of the IroquoisDThe United States Constitution解析：选A标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了北美印第安人的易洛魁联盟，包括该联盟的由来、政治体制、由强变弱的历史等。故A项最适合作本文标题。BThe dramatic expansion of industrial agriculture has made it increasingly difficult for small family farmers in the US to stay in business.Instead, the food industry has become dominated by a handful of giant corporations which benefit from government policies that favor largescale production.Family farmers are being forced out of business at an alarming rate.According to Farm Aid, every week 330 farmers leave their land.As established family farms are shut down, they are not being replaced by new farms and young farmers.Once a family farm is forced out of business, the farmland is often sold for development, and the quality land for farming is lost._In addition to producing fresh, highquality foods, small family farms provide a wealth of benefits for their local communities and regions.Perhaps most importantly, family farmers serve as responsible stewards (管理人) of the land.Unlike industrial agriculture operations, which pollute communities with chemical pesticides, smoke and manure (肥料), small family farmers live on or near their farms and try to protect the surrounding environment for future generations.Independent family farms also play a vital role in rural economies.In addition to providing jobs for local people, family farmers also help support small businesses by purchasing goods and services within their communities.Meanwhile, industrial agriculture operations employ as few workers as possible and typically purchase supplies, equipment, and building materials from outside the local community.Rural areas are then left with high rates of unemployment and very little opportunity for economic growth.What can you do?Purchase food directly from your local family farmers at a farmers market, or through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) system.Ask the manager of your grocery store to supply foods produced at local family farms.Donate money to Farm Aid.Since 1985, this nonprofit organization has worked to support Americas family farmers.语篇解读：在美国，农业也进入了大规模工业化生产的模式，有人担心这会造成很多问题。25We can learn from the first paragraph that _.AAmerican agriculture is facing a downturnBthe American government is limiting industrial agricultureCthe American food industry has difficulty meeting customers needsDAmerican family farmers are facing serious problems解析：选D推理判断题。从第一段的“The dramatic expansion of industrial agriculture has made it increasingly difficult for small family farmers in the US to stay in business.”可知D项正确。26What would be the best title to be put in the blank?AWhy are family farms important?BWhat does industrial agriculture bring?CHow are family farms run?DWhat supports rural economies?解析：选A主旨大意题。下面两段所讲的主要是传统家庭农场的好处，并特别与工业化生产的模式做出了比较以突显其优点，故以A项为标题最合适。27According to the passage, industrial agriculture has all the following disadvantages EXCEPT _.Apolluting the environmentBtaking up too much landCemploying fewer peopleDharming local economy解析：选B细节理解题。从第三段的“Unlike industrial agriculture operations, which pollute communities”和第四段的“industrial agriculture operations employ as few workers as possible and typically purchase supplies, equipment, and building materials from outside the local community.”可知只有B项未提到。28The passage was written mainly to call for people to _.Amake a donation to Farm AidBprotect the environmentCprotest against industrial agricultureDprotect family farms解析：选D作者意图题。文章首先指出传统家庭农场面临困境，然后指出传统家庭农场的好处及如何拯救它们，作者的写作目的是呼吁大家保护传统家庭农场。CLarry Ritsema was out for an early morning jog around his neighborhood on one weekend.On a quiet street, he began to feel weak.Suddenly, everything went black.Larry fell to the ground.Less than a minute later, Tom Alguire passed by on his bicycle.He caught sight of a man lying on the roadside, so he jumped off his bike and ran over.He recognized Larry immediately, because he had been Larrys doctor for nearly 20 years.Dr Tom felt for a pulse at first.Finding none, he began to give Larry first aid.It wouldnt restart Larrys heart, but it would keep the blood flowing until someone else arrived.Tom could only hope someone would come by soon, around six oclock in the morning on a holiday weekend.Tom couldnt stop pressing Larrys chest to run for help Larrys brain cells would die without the blood.And Tom didnt have a mobile phone with him.Soon, a car did drive by.But the driver ignored Toms appeal for help.What was he going to do? Tom was very worried.Finally, another car came down the road, driven by Michael Saliot, a US Coast Guard Officer.Michael wasnt one to pass up a chance to help a person in need.He quickly dialed 911.Doctors then found that Larry had suffered a heart attack and there were severe blockages in two of Larrys major arteries (动脉)Only the timely arrival of Dr Tom saved his life.How did Dr Tom happen to be bicycling that morning down that quiet street? It turned out that as Tom rode, his bike chain fell off.He spent about eight minutes fitting it back; otherwise, he would have seen nothing of Larrys problem.语篇解读：拉里晨跑时突然晕倒，碰巧他的家庭医生经过，及时救了他。29Doctor Tom gave Larry first aid in order to _.Awake up LarryBrestart Larrys pulseCkeep Larrys blood flowingDstop Larry from bleeding解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三段的“It wouldnt restart Larrys heart, but it would keep the blood flowing until someone else arrived”可知C项正确。30Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AMichael Saliot was a man always ready to help others.BTom Alguire saw Larry when Larry fell to the ground.CLarry Ritsema went to work early on foot that morning.DTom fitted his bike chain back after Larry was sent to hospital.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第四段的“Michael wasnt one to pass up a chance to help a person in need”可知，迈克尔绝不放弃帮助危急中的人的机会。故选A项。31We can infer that _.ALarry took Tom as his doctor twenty years agoBits not good to run in the early morningCLarrys neighbors were selfishDonly Tom can save Larry解析：选A推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知A项正确。其他几项文中没有提及，故很难推知。32Whats the best title for the text?AA kindhearted doctorBSaved by the coincidenceCHow to save a patient?DA lucky runner解析：选B标题归纳题。本文讲述了由于及时的救助，拉里得救了。最后一段点题，由于自行车链子掉了，才有了Tom的及时出现，使文章充满了戏剧性。可见B项最适合做标题。DFor the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to_no_avail. It was only when I turned to meditation (沉思) for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing Im singing in the rain, a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.If you feel a little low in spirits and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.语篇解读：假如你的情绪不佳，那就投入到大自然的怀抱吧！身体得到放松，童心得以萌发，可以尽情玩耍。33The underlined part “to no avail” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”Aunsuccessful BunrelatedCuninteresting Dunexpected解析：选A词义猜测题。根据画线部分前面的转折连词but可知洗澡、美食和电影都没有效果，都没有使作者振作起来。故A项与画线部分意思最接近。34In the authors opinion, _.Aa bath can make people relaxedBdepression is usually caused by hard workCwalking in a busy city centre harms peoples healthDits good for adults to wake up their inner children when they are in low spirits解析：选D推理判断题。结合第二段最后一句中的内容以及最后一段的内容可推知，作者认为成年人唤醒童心能帮助他们摆脱低落情绪。35The last paragraph mainly serves as a(n) _.Aexplanation BsuggestionCintroduction Dreminder解析：选B文章结构题。最后一段提到如果你感到情绪低落并且知道在室内待的时间太久，你就要彻底放松，脱掉鞋子，释放自己的童心去玩耍，显然是提供“建议”。第二节(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。_36_Being angry doesnt really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults, too. Instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano!_37_Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper. They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper. _38_Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents, break something, or even worse, hit their brothers or sisters. _39_However, its not OK for a kid to do any of those things .Kids dont want to act in this way, but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do?Well, the good news is that kids dont just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. _40_. Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training. The puppy is not bad it will probably turn out a great dog. It just needs to learn some rules because, right now, that puppy is causing some problems to you.AYou can train your temper.BYou dont want to cause trouble.CKids should be allowed to express their feelings, even angry ones.DEverybody gets angry sometimes.EIn fact, they usually mean that a kid behaves badly when feeling angry.FInstead of thinking of the person youre angry with, think of something else.GSome kids get angry more often or more easily than some other kids.答案：3640DGECA第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)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。It was a cold winter morning.Half asleep at the train station, I stared into the distance, _41_ for the train to take me to my _42_ in Boston.The world was quiet.The very few people on the street kept to themselves, _43_ their steaming cups of coffee.Reaching into my pocket as the _44_ was approaching, my numb hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare.The pocket was _45_！ I searched through my bag and then I felt _46_.
