D.RichKids'Education答案详解：1.Dfour第一段第一句说美国的幼儿园一般在五到六岁开始，第二句说在富裕国家里这么晚才开始是十分奇怪的，所以是在五岁以前，综合答案选择D,四岁。CRichpre-schoolkidshavearichervocabularythanpoorkids.第一第四句中提到，根据调查，贫困家庭的孩子在词汇方面要落后于富有家庭的孩子，而这种差距往往会持续一生。所以选C。DTwoyearsofpre-kindergartenwerebetterthanone.倒数第二段第三四句讲到，参加学前教育的孩子在读写能力、语言能力、数学能力和科学能力上均有更好的表现，而有两年的学前教育效果要好于一年，所以选D。Achoose本句的句意是批评者们选择了一个叫做“头脑启蒙”政府计划来……其他的选项分别都B考虑C计数D依赖BPre-schoolEducation本文通篇都在探讨的是学前教。A选项未提到，CD均为学前教育研究的一部分，所以选B。Passage2Questions6to10arebasedonthefollowingpassage:HumansmaynothavelandedonMars(火星)justyet,butthatisn'tshoppingaEuropeancompanyfromdevisingaplantosendfourpeopletotheRedPlanetwithinthenextfewyears.(78)Thisproject,calledMarsOne,aimstosendasmallgroupofpeopletoMarsin2022andeventuallyestablishapermanentcolonyontheplanet."EverythingweneedtogotoMarsexists,"saidMarsOneco.founderBasLansdorpinMarch2014."WehavetherocketstosendpeopletoMars,theequipmenttolandonMars,therobotstopreparethesettlementforhumans.Foraone.waymission,allthetechnologyexists."Yetthefourastronauts(宇航员)chosenforthetripwillbestuckonMars-forever.AnddespiteMarsOne'sthoroughplanning,thereareanumberofchallengesthatmaypreventthemissionfromevertakingplace.(79)Thebiggestroadblockcouldbethemission'shugecost($6billion).However,LansdorpisconfidentthatMarsOnewillbeabletofundtheprojectbysellingthebroadcastrightsforthemissionandsubsequentexperienceslivingontheplanet.ThosebroadcastrightswillalsoplayapartinhelpingtoselectthepeoplewhowillbesenttoMars.Lansdorpsaidthecompanywillholdaselectionprocesssimilartoarealityshow.Lansdorpisexpectingatleast1millionapplicationsfrompeoplearoundtheworld.Inadditontothecost,severalotherpotentialproblemscouldinhibit（阻止）themissiontoMars.“It’sevenmorechallengingtosendpeopletherewithlifesupport,withfood,withair,withalltheotherthingslikebooks,entertainment,meansofcommunicationandofprovidingfortheirownresourcesforalongstayonMars,"saidAdamBaker.seniorlecturerinspaceengineeringatKingstonUniversityinLondon."Thesheersizeoftherocketsyou'dneedtodothiswouldbeabsolutelycolossal.”AccordingtoProjectMarsOne,humanscouldsendfourpeopletoMarswithinthenextyears.A.seven

C.Negative. D.Doubtful.答案详解：BShouldNationalParksAllowtheUseofCellPhones?文章先介绍了国家公园的简单情况，然后引入了移动电话的问题，接下来是不同方面对这个话题的看法，所以选择，B。Ctopreserveareasofnaturalbeauty第一段第一句话明确指出，国家公园的建立是为了留出一个区域让美国人能享受自然风光，所以答案是C。AItislimitedtocertainareasinthepark.第二段第二句话说，移动电话只在公园里有商店和营地的地方有信号，所以选A。Asomethingunpleasanttolookat第三段第一句说，反对这说，移动电话打扰了他们在公园的享受，由此可以推断，信号塔应该是他们很不喜欢看到的，选A。BNeutral文章最后一段第一句说，黄石公园方面试图保持一个平衡，所以说他们的态度是中立的，答案是B。PartIIVocabularyandStructure(30%)Directions:Inthispartthereare30incompletesentences.ForeachsentencetherearefourchoicesmarkedA.B.CandD.ChoosetheONEanswerthatbestcompletesthesentence.ThenblackenthecorrespondingletterontheAnswerSheet.Allthepassengersintheaccidentweresenttothenearbyhospitalinnotime.A.tofindinjuredB.findinginjuredC.tobefoundinjuredD.foundinjuredThebigfirelastedaslongas24hoursitwasbroughtundercontrol.A.afterB.beforeC.sinceD.whilenthisworkshop,theoutputofJulywasthreetimesofJanuary.A.thatB.thisC.oneD.it19.Seeingherfathercomeback,.A.tearsrandownhercheeksB.hertearsranoutC.sheburstintotearsD.tearsburstintoher20.singeranddancerisalsogoodatdrawing.A.The;aB.The;theC.A;aD.The;/21.It’ssuchadifficultproblemnoonecanworkitout.A.asB.thatC.soD.thus22.I’dratheryoutherenextweek.A.wearB.goC.shouldhavegoneD.hadgone23.Bytheendofthisterm,we3,000Englishwordsinall.A.willlearnB.willhavelearnedC.learnedD.hadlearned24.isknowntoall,theearthmovesaroundthesunonceayear.A.ThatB.AsC.WhatD.It25.Iadmitthatshehasshortcomings,Istilllikeher.A.WhenB.AsC.WhileD.Once26.Toourgreat,Tom,sillnessprovednottobeasseriousaswehadfeared.A.anxietyB.reliefC.viewD.judgment.Themeetingistobeginat4:00p.m.,butasassistants,we,retobethereabitearlier.A.invitedB.supposedC.encouragedD.hoped.Canyouthedifferencesbetweenthetwopictures?A.tellB.talkC.speakD.say.DoyouknowtheofthesayingIjustquoted?A.resourceB.sourceC.courseD.cause.TheInternethasbroughtbigchangesinthewaywework.A.aboutB.outC.upD.back.DrHampton:Goodmorning,ProfessorSmith.ProfessorSmith:,DrHampton.DrHampton:MayIcomein?ProfessorSmith:Ofcourse,please.A.GoodmorningB.Fine,thanksC.PleasedtomeetyouD.Howdoyoudo.ThetravelersaregoingtoTaiwan,theyplantostayfortwoorthreedays.A.thatB.whichC.whenD.where.WhenGeorgewasalittleboyinprimaryschool,heoftentoschoolonfoot.A.goesB.wentC.goD.willgo34.Onnoaccounttodeprive（剥夺）astudentofhisrighttoreceiveeducation.A.anyoneisallowedB.isanyoneallowedC.anyoneallowsD.allowsanyone35.AlicespeaksEnglishwell,?A.shedoesB.doessheC.shedoesn,tD.doesn,tshe36.Student:ProfessorWang,mustIhandinthepaperthisweek?ProfessorWang:No,.Youcanhanditinnextweek.A.youmustn,tB.youcan'tC.youneedn,tD.youshouldn't37.IfIyou,Iwouldgonowandwaitforthematthestation.A.amB.wasC.wereD.havebeen38.Ted,yourselfanddon,tgetyourcoatdirtyagain,oryouwillgetintotrouble!A.behaveB.makeC.performD.take39.Inthedeadman,sbedroomthepolicefoundseveralimportantwhichpointedtoBlakeasthemurderer.A.careersB.cluesC.challengesD.dreams40.Theoldmansittingontheparkbenchseemedtome,yetIcouldn'tpossiblyrememberwherewehadmetbefore.A.proudB.gradualC.familiarD.mental41.TheygotoworkeverydaySaturdayandSunday.Thosedaysareholidays.A.besidesB.onC.fromD.except42.Shehaschancetowintheelectionasheropponentistoostrong.A.littleB.alittleC.fewD.afew43.TodayBobwaslateagainforclassbecauseheoverslept(睡过头),butheanexcuseofbeingill.A.lookedupB.madeupC.putupD.tookup44.Youhavetoearlyinthemorningtoavoidtherushhour.A.setasideB.setoutC.setupD.setin45.Ifixedtheplugproperly,Istillgotanelectricshock.A.BecauseB.HoweverC.AlthoughD.WhenPartIII.Identification(10%)TOC\o"1-5"\h\zXowthatw?have'cstmoneyif:nousetcUirnonm?andsayingits*-1A

没用”。Cowhat应改为which句意为：工程师们给这个大坝做出了两项计划，其中一项压根就没有投入使用。本题考查非限制性定语从句。因为指代的是逗号前的dams,因此要用which来引导，而what不能引导非限制性定语从句。Aowhenever应改为when句意为：不管我什么时候做演讲，在演讲前我都会变得极度紧张。nomatterwhen=whenever,此处重复使用。CoIwill应改为willI句意为：只有他为他的粗鲁道歉，我才会再跟他说话。only提前，句子需要进行半倒装。AoToeat改为Havingeaten句意为：之前已经在那个饭店吃过饭了，Tina不想再去那儿了。本题考查非谓语结构。由下半句可知，应该是表示已经完成的动作，因此需要改为完成时态。Comuchgood改为muchbetter句意为：我相信鲍勃的作业比上周的好多了。much+形容词比较级为固定用法，表示“……得多”B。themosttroubles应改为themoretroubles句意为：他工作越努力，就在研究前期遇到越多的麻烦。“the+比较级，the+比较级”为固定句型，表示“越……越……”。Bothatwho改为who。句意为：我不知道谁应该为这场交通事故负责。Idon'tknow后面跟的是宾语从句，不需要用that,应该去掉。Codoesthelasttrainleave应改为thelasttrainleaves句意为：你能告诉我最后一趟去上海的火车几点出发吗？canyoutellme后面跟宾语从句，需要将原来的疑问句语序改为陈述句语序。Boaregoingback应改为isgoingback句意为：彼得，我们班最高的男孩，下周就要回家乡去了。本题考查主谓一致。本句的主语为Peter,因此谓语需要用第三人称单数。PartIVCloze（10%）Directions:Thereare20blanksinthefollowingpassage,andforeachblankthereare4choicesmarkedA,B,CandDattheendofthepassage.YoushouldchooseONEanswerthatbestfitsintothepassage.ThenblackenthecorrespondingletterontheAnswerSheet.Inanoldtownlivedamerchant.Heearnedhugeprofitsbyfairmeansandfoul恶劣的）.Withmoreprofitsflowingin,hebecamemoreandmore56
