What for C. why D. what 【解析】A考查简单的交际用语，根据语境可得出A选项，意为“为什么不呢”，B选项是“为了什么目的”的意思。22. Try _ she might, Sue couldnt get the door open.A. if B. when C. since D. as 【解析】D as引导的让步状语从句，构成非主谓倒装，要将该句子中的形容词、动词、副词置前。23. Planning so far ahead _no sense, so many things will have changed by next year.A. made B. is making C. makes D. has made【解析】C根据句意“过早的提前计划没有意义，因而很多事情将于明年发生变化。”前半句陈述的是一个一般性的事实，故用一般现在时。24. I wasnt sure if he was really interested or if he _polite.A. was just being B. will just be C. had just been D. would just be 【解析】A根据语境和句意“我不确定他当时是真的感兴趣还只是假装有礼貌”be being +形容词表示主语故意表现出来的特征。25. Someone wants you on the phone. _nobody knows I am here.A. Although B. And C. But D. So【解析】C根据句意“有人电话找你”“但是没有人知道我在这儿啊”，此处应该是转折，故选C。26. I can _the house being untidy, but I hate it if its not clean.A. come up with B. put up with C. turn to D. stick to【解析】B根据句意“我可以忍受屋子里不整洁，但是我讨厌屋子里不干净”A是“想出，提出”，B是“忍受”，C是“向求助”，D是“坚持”。27. The next thing he saw was smoke _from behind the house.A. rose B. rising C. to rise D. risen【解析】B现在分词作后置定语，表示主动发生的动作，这里的rise是不及物动词，与smoke是主动关系。28. Only when he reached the tea-house _it was the same place hed been in last year.A. he realized B. he did realize C. realized he D. did he realize【解析】D only短语置前，句子要用部分倒装结构，即用一般疑问句的语序，助动词要提前。29. When Alice came to, she did not know how long she _there.A. had been lying B. has been lying C. was lying D. has lain【解析】A此题考查时态知识。翻译为当Alice进来的时候，她不知道已经在这里躺多久了。通过含义可以发现，躺这个动作发生在came之前，发生在过去的过去，应该用过去完成时。又因为作者强调一直这个概念，故答案为A，过去完成进行时。30. The form cannot be signed by anyone _yourself.A. rather than B. other than C. more than D. better than【解析】B此题考查短语知识。翻译为这个表格不能被除了你以外的任何人签署。A项而不是，B项除了、不同于，C项多于、超出，D项好于。根据句意，不难判断出答案为B。31. The prize will go to the writer _story shows the most imagination.A. that B. which C. whose D. what【解析】C此题考查定语从句的引导词。先行词是writer，而先行词writer和story有所属关系，所以用whose表示作者的故事。故答案为C。32. They _have arrived at lunchtime but their flight was delayed.A. will B. can C. must D. should【解析】D此题考查情态动词+have done用法。通常没有will have done的用法，can have done译为本能做某事（而没做），must have done译为一定表示对过去的肯定推测，should have done译为本应该做某事（而没做）。根据题意，他们本能够在午饭时到达，但是他们的航班晚点了。故答案为D。33. It is generally accepted that _boy must learn to stand up and fight like _man.A. a; a B. a; the C. the; the D. a; 不填【解析】A此题考查冠词。a+可数名词单数表示一类人，a boy表示男孩子这一类，a man表示男人这一类。故答案为A。34. William found it increasingly difficult to read, for his eyesight was beginning to _.A. disappear B. fall C. fail D. damage【解析】C此题考查单词辨析。此题翻译为William发现越来越难读，因为他的视力开始下降。A项消失，明显错误。B项表示由于失去平衡而落下。D项破坏，明显错误。故答案为C。fail表示下降,衰退，符合题意。35. Artistic people can be very difficult sometimes.Well, you married one. _.A. You name it B. Ive got it C. I cant agree more D. You should know【解析】D此题考查交际用语。翻译为艺术家有时候生活艰难。哦，你嫁给这样的人了，你该明白。A项凡是你能说出的，B项我知道了，C项我再同意你不过了，都不符合题意，故答案为D。第二节 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。 In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory _36_course about 20 years ago. The professor _37_ the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans（豆）, and invited the students to _38_ how many beans the jar contained. After _39_ shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin, dry smile, announced the _40_ answer, and went on saying, ”You have just _41_ an important lesson about science. That is: Never _42_ your own senses.” Twenty years later, the _43_ could guess what the professor had in mind. He _44_ himself, perhaps, as inviting his students to start an exciting _45_ into an unknown world Invisible（无形的）to the _46_, which can be discovered only through scientific _47_. But the seventeen-year-old girl could not accept or even _48_ the invitation. She was just _49_ to understand the world. And she _50_ that her firsthand experience could be the _51_. The professor, however, said that it was _52_. He was taking away her only _53_ for knowing and was providing her with no substitute. “I remember feeling small and 54 ,” the women says, “and I did the only thing I could do. I _55_ the course that afternoon, and I havent gone near science since.”36. A. artB. historyC. scienceD. math【解析】C本题考查名词，根据名词找同类的理论，我们发现本段出现了名词education（教育），下一段中出现了professor和jar，貌似是教授在做实验，于是选择C。而文章在最后一句说and I havent gone near science since也印证了我们选择的正确。37. A. searched for B. looked atC. got throughD. marched into【解析】D本题考查动词词组，根据动作的先后顺序，教授把阔口罐放在桌子前应该已经在讲堂里了，于是排除A、B；而我们着重说过get through的含义从介词through，是通过、穿过的意思，那么自然不靠谱，最终选择D，march含义是行军、走过，march into长驱直入。38. A. countB. guessC. reportD. watch【解析】B本题考查动词，与名词beans相关联，那么根据后文wildly wrong guesses的提示，我们选择B。39. A. warningB. givingC. turning awayD. listening to【解析】D本题考查动词，该动作的发出者是the professor，那么教授就对大家的猜测只能是听到，选择D。同时warn是课上强调过的第四选项，大可先排除，进而提高我们的准确率。40. A. readyB. possibleC. correctD. difficult【解析】C本题考查形容词，修饰名词answer，实验是教授做的，那么他说出的数目自然是正确的。41. A. learnedB. preparedC. taughtD. taken【解析】A本题考查动词，该动作是学生对课程做出的，那么自然是在学习课程，选择A。42. A. loseB. trustC. sharpenD. show【解析】B本题考查动词，根据上面的叙述，显然教授想说的是不要相信自己的感觉，于是选择B，在课上我们着重讲解过trust，这个时候选择起来会很轻松。43. A. lecturerB. scientistC. speakerD. woman【解析】D本题考查名词，本段开始用了二十年后作为开头，说明叙事是一直连贯的，而自首段提出本文叙述的任务就是the woman，于是本题的选择D。44. A. describedB. respectedC. sawD. served【解析】C本题考查动词，教授会对自己做的动作首先不会是尊重和服务，排除B、D无关选项。而根据后句的说明，邀请学生开始一次兴奋的航程去为之世界，这是他自己认为的事情，describe（描述）是我们讲过的，这个词后文中该与确定的事实连用，而对此处显然不适用。当然，最后的一招：不要忘了describe是第一选项，正确概率很低！宣布出来就选简单选项，于是C选项跃然心中！45. A. voyageB. movementC. changeD. rush【解析】A本题考查名词，学生对未知世界开启的是一次航程，而非运动、改变亦或者匆忙冲进，于是选择A。voyage是高考第一次考查的词汇，但是必修3Unit7 Lesson1出现这个单词。46. A. professor B. eye C. knowledge D. light【解析】B本题考查名词，解题关键是invisible，我们说过中文注释是必须关注的，给出中文注释的词未必是大家不认识的，但必须是解题的关键，本题就是完全的体现，对于什么而言是无形的，形状自然是眼睛看到的，于是选择B，本题有相当的难度，解题需谨慎，是我常说的那几个突破瓶颈的题目，记住我们的方法再加上细心及适当解题训练，这些瓶颈都是可以突破的。47. A. model B. senses C. spirit D. methods【解析】D本题考查名词，因为我们说过三段开始由二十年后引出，说明前后段逻辑紧密，而前一段说明的事情是我们不能相信自己的感觉做科学，于是本题中能够发现那个肉眼无法识别的无形未知世界的绝不是感觉或者精神，于是果断排除B、C；而model的含义是模型，显然的无关选项，果断排除；最终选择D，科学的方法。48. A. hear B. make C. present D. refuse【解析】A本题考查动词，even是一个强烈的递进关系词，那么根据语义，相比不能接受这些邀请更加强烈的情况是不去听这些邀请。49. A. suggesting B. beginning C. pretending D. waiting【解析】B本题考查动词，女孩十七岁，正是刚开始认识世界的年纪，难度不大，直接选择B。50. A. believed B. doubted C. proved D. explained【解析】A题考查动词，与之相关的是后句的内容：她的第一感觉会是正确的，对这件事情她没有证明或者解释，自然可排除C、D，无关选项；而她对自己的第一选择是绝对的相信的，doubt是一个否定含义的词汇，意思是不信。51. A. growth B. strength C. faith D. truth【解析】D本题考查名词，女孩认为第一感觉是正确的，只要认清含义做对题目不难，送分题。而选项中出现了faith，不要忘记我们说过这个词与belief的含义相同，为信念。52. A. firm B. interesting C. wrong D. acceptable【解析】C本题考查形容词，教授使女孩认为第一感觉是错误的。53. A. task B. tool C. success D. connection【解析】B本题考查名词，为了知道未知世界，我手中唯一的是工具，于是选择B。其他选项显然不合理。54. A. cruel B. proud C. frightened D. brave【解析】C本题考查形容词，and提示文章此处是并列关系，而与感觉渺小并列的是感觉害怕，cruel的含义是残忍的，语义自然不合适，排除。55. A. dropped B. started C. passed D. missed【解析】A题考查动词，被教授伤害后，我对这个科目能做的动作显然不是开始学习或者通过，于是排除B、C；而missed的含义是失去，无关选项；最终选择A，放弃。在课上我们说到过drop与fall的区别，不要忘了，drop就是 由人做出的丢弃的动作。第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldnt take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to out house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldnt freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch(门廊). Every so often my sons friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.56. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer _.A. to show his magical power B. to pay for the delivery C. to satisfy his curiosity D. to please his mother【解析】C 推理判断题。当时作者是一个5岁的孩子，眼睛一直盯着送奶工腰部绑着的找零钱的袋子，于是送奶工给他一枚25美分硬币是为了满足其好奇心。57. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boys house?A. He wanted to have tea there. B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member. D. He was fully trusted by the family.【解析】D 推理判断题。依据第三段第二句There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen推断送奶工甚至拿着客户家的钥匙，这主要是由于彼此的信任，而不是被看作家庭的一员。58. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now. B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor. D. It is forbidden by law.【解析】B细节理解题。依据第四段内容可知，后来形势发生了变化，牛奶的价格便宜了，销售更普及了，送奶的工作就变得不实际了，因此这一行被市场淘汰了。59. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days. B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He missed it for his milk bottles. D. He planted flowers in it.【解析】A细节理解题。依据第五段内容得知，作者后来带回家一个送牛奶的箱子，放在了后门的门廊里，这引起了孩子们的好奇，借此讲述过去的故事和美好记忆，主要是怀念过去。 BWhile small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average night of the population has been increasing ye the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 66(6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 63 bed caters for less than half of the male population.” said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy , “seven-foot beds would work fine.”Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh, 66beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.60. What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?A. To provide better services. B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants.C. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall. D. To attract more people to become its members.【解析】C 意图推断题。依据第二段to campaign for the needs of the tall推断该组织的目的是让宾馆和饭店关 注高个子客户的困难，满足其实际需要。 61. Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?A . 72. B. 7 C. 66 D. 63【解析】B细节理解题。依据第四段Phil Heinricy的话推断，即使是6英尺6英寸的床也不能满足客户需要，最后一句提到7英尺的床最合适。62. What may happen to restaurants with small tables?A. They may lose some customers. B. They may start businesses elsewhere.C. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.【解析】A推理判断题。依据第五段内容推断，饭店桌子太小太低的话，一些顾客不得不另选它处，换言之，饭店会因此而失去一些客户。63. What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?A. Tall people pay more for larger beds. B. 66beds have taken the place of 63beds.C. Special rooms are kept for Americans. D. Guest rooms are standardized.【解析】B 细节理解题。in Edinburgh出现在最后一段。在那里，6英尺6英寸的床成为标准配置，替代了传统意义上的6英尺3英寸的床。CCassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husbands income. So this year she did something more than a hobby: She planted vegetables in her yard. For her fist garden, Ms Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The familys old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms. Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much larger because, she said, “The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds too; so its a win-win situation all around.”They are among the growing number of Americans who, driven by higher living costs and a falling economy(经济), have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say no since the 1970s have there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home. Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months. In Austin, Tex., some of the gardens have a three-year waiting list.George C. Ball Jr, owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40%, over last year, double the average growth of last five years. Mr. Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one is striking use in me cost on food like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruit and vegetables. Food prices have increase of higher oil price. People are driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there more time to garden.64. What does the word “residents” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A. chickens B. tomatoes C. gardens D. people【解析】A根据前一句“The familys old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month”可判断这里的residents指代的是chicken。65. Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popular?A. More Americans are dong it for fun.B. The price of oil is lower than before.C. Theres a growing need for fruits.D. The cost of living is on the rise.【解析】B根据第二段的“driven by higher living costs and a falling economy, have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time”可判断正确答案为D。66. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Family Food Planning B. Banking on GardeningC. A Belt-tightening Move D. Gardening as a Hobby【解析】B这题可通过排除法来选出。A选项为“家庭食品计划”C选项为“省吃俭用行动”D选项为“业余园艺”，都具有片面性，只有B选项“园艺行业”比较全面地概括了全文。DWanted, Someone for a KissWere looking for producers to join us in the second of London 100FM.
