D.theFrench【答案】4.A5.B6.C7.B【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者通过在美国打电话时的小误会，告诉我们英语在英国和美国有许多不同用法，但是大多数情况下，两国人都能够互相理解。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“AndIhadoftenbeentoFrance,soIwasusedtospeakingaforeignlanguagetopeoplewhodidn’tunderstandEnglish.ButwhenIwenttoAmerica,Iwasreallylookingforwardtohavinganiceeasyholidaywithoutanylanguagebarriers.(而且我经常去法国，所以我习惯了和不懂英语的人说外语。而当我去美国的时候，我真的很期待有一个没有任何语言障碍的轻松愉快的假期。)”可知，起初，作者认为在美国不会有任何语言上的困难。故选A项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“IwaslookingforapublictelephonetogivemyAmericanfriendPennyacallandtellherthatIhadarrived.(我在找公用电话，想给我的美国朋友Penny打个电话，告诉她我到了。)”可知，作者想给他的朋友打电话。故选B项。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Areyougettingmarried?(你要结婚了吗?”)”可知，美国人把“givesomebodyaring”理解为“给某人一个戒指”；根据第五段中“IonlywanttogivemyfriendaringtotellherI’vearrived.Canyoutellmewherethere’saphonebox?(我只是想给我的朋友打个电话，告诉她我到了。你能告诉我哪里有电话亭吗？)”可知，作为英国人的作者，认为“givesomebodyaring”是“给某人打电话”的意思。从而推知，这个短语有两种不同含义。故选C项。【7题详解】词句猜测题。划线词句前文“TherearelotsofwordswhichtheAmericansusedifferentlyinmeaningfromBritish.(有很多单词，美国人使用的意思与英国人不同。)”说明美国人使用的英语单词和英国人有所不同，从而推知划线词句“You’llsoongetusedtoallthefunnythingstheysay.(你很快就会习惯他们（they）说的所有有趣的事情。)”其中代词they，对于作者（英国人）来说，指的是“美国人”。故选B项。CTwoofthesaddestwordsintheEnglishlanguageare“ifonly”.Ilivemylifewiththegoalofneverhavingtosaythosewords,becausetheyconveyregret,lostopportunities,mistakes,anddisappointment.Myfatherisfamousinourfamilyforsaying,“Taketheextraminutetodoitright.”Ialwaystrytolivebythe“extraminute”rule.Whenmychildrenwereyoungandlikelytocauseaccidents,IalwaysthoughtaboutwhatIcoulddotoavoidan“ifonly”moment,whetheritwassomethingminorlikemovingacupfullofhotcoffeeawayfromtheedgeofacounter,orsomethingthatrequiredalittlemoreworksuchastapingpadding(衬垫)ontothesharpcornersofaglasscoffeetable.Idon'tonlyavoidthose“ifonly”momentswhenitcomestosafety.It'sequallyimportanttoavoid“ifonly”inourpersonalrelationships.Weallknowpeoplewholostalovedoneandregrettedthattheyhadforegoneanopportunitytosay“Iloveyou”or“Iforgiveyou.”WhenmyfatherannouncedhewasgoingtotheeyedoctoracrossfrommyofficeonGoodFriday,ItoldhimthatitwasaholidayformycompanyandIwouldn'tbehere.ButthenIthoughtaboutthefactthathe's84yearsoldandIrealizedthatIshouldn'tgiveupanopportunitytoseehim.IcalledhimandtoldhimIhaddecidedtogotoworkonmydayoffafterall.IknowtherewillstillbeoccasionswhenIhavetosay“ifonly”aboutsomething,butmylifeisdefinitelybetterbecauseofmypolicyofdoingeverythingpossibletoavoidthateventuality.Andeventhoughittakesanextraminutetodosomethingright,oritoccasionallytakesanhourortwoinmybusyscheduletomakeapersonalconnection,IknowthatI'mdoingtherightthing.I'mbuyingmyselfpeaceofmindandthat'sthebestkindofinsuranceformyemotionalwell-being.8.Whichofthefollowingisanexampleofthe"extraminute"rule？A.Startthecarthemomenteveryoneisseated.B.Leavetheroomforaminutewiththeironworking.C.Waitforanextraminutesothatthesteaktastesbetter.DMoveanobjectoutofthewaybeforeittripssomeone.9.TheauthordecidedtogotoherofficeonGoodFridayto.A.keepherappointmentwiththeeyedoctorB.meetherfatherwhowasalreadyanoldmanC.joinintheholidaycelebrationofthecompanyD.finishherworkbeforethedeadlineapproached10.Theunderlinedword"foregone"inParagraph3isclosestinmeaningto.A.wasted

D.ThePeaceofMind【答案】8.D9.B10.D11.C【解析】【分析】本文为记叙文。主要讲述了作者认为英语中最悲伤的两个字是"ifonly"．因为他们表达了遗憾，父亲在我小的时候经常让我提前做一些能防止意外发生的事，因此我懂得珍惜现在所拥有的一切，而且我知道我正在做对的事。【8题详解】推理判断题。由第二段whetheritwassomethingminorlikemovingacupfullofhotcoffeeawayfromtheedgeofacounter，orsomethingthatrequiredalittlemoreworksuchastapingpadding（衬垫）ontothesharpcornersofaglasscoffeetable(无论是将一杯热咖啡从柜台边缘移开，还是将衬垫粘到玻璃咖啡桌的尖角上，都是一件小事)可知,“在物体绊住别人之前将它移动”属于the"extraminute"rule，故选D。【9题详解】细节理解题。由第三段WhenmyfatherannouncedhewasgoingtotheeyedoctoracrossfrommyofficeonGoodFriday,ItoldhimthatitwasaholidayformycompanyandIwouldn'tbehere.ButthenIthoughtaboutthefactthathe's84yearsoldandIrealizedthatIshouldn'tgiveupanopportunitytoseehim(当父亲宣布他要在耶稣受难日那天去我办公室对面的眼科医生那里时，我告诉他那天是公司的假日，我不在这里了。但后来我想到他已经84岁了，我意识到我不应该放弃一个见他的机会)可知,我在周五休息的时候去工作的地方是为了去看我的已经是个老人的爸爸，故选B。【10题详解】词义猜测题。由第三段Weallknowpeoplewholostalovedoneandregrettedthattheyhadforegoneanopportunitytosay"Iloveyou"or"Iforgiveyou(我们都知道有些人失去了所爱的人，他们为失去了说“我爱你”或“我原谅你”的机会而感到遗憾)可知,我们都知道失去亲人的人当初放弃了一个机会说"我爱你"或"我原谅你"，因此，划线单词意为"放弃、抛弃"，结合选项，故选D。【11题详解】主旨大意题。文章开头提出TwoofthesaddestwordsintheEnglishlanguageare“ifonly”(英语中最悲哀的两个词是“ifonly”)，然后本文围绕这两个最悲伤的字展开叙述，因此TheTwoSaddestWords作为题目最为贴切，故选C。DAnewstudyof8,000youngpeopleintheJournalofHealthandSocialBehaviorshowsthatalthoughlovecanmakeadultslivehealthilyandhappily,itisabadthingforyoungpeople.Puppylove(早恋)maybringstressforyoungpeopleandcanleadtodepression(忧郁症).Thestudyshowsthatgirlsbecomemoredepressedthanboys,andyoungergirlsaretheworstofall.Thepossiblereasonfortheconnectionbetweenloveandhigherriskofdepressionforgirlsis“lossofself”.Accordingtothestudy,eventhoughboyswouldsay“losethemselvesinaromanticrelationship”,this“lossofself”ismuchmorelikelytoleadtodepressionwhenithappenstogirls.Younggirlswhohaveromanticrelationshipsusuallylikehidingtheirfeelingsandopinions.Theywon’ttellthattotheirparents.Dr.MarianKaufman,anexpertonyoungpeopleproblems,says15%to20%youngpeoplewillhavedepressionduringtheirgrowing.Tryingromanceoftencausesthedepression.Sheadviseskidsnottojumpintoromancetooearly.Duringgrowingup,itisimportantforyoungpeopletobuildstrongfriendshipsandastrongsenseofself.Shealsosuggeststheparentsshouldencouragetheirkidstokeepclosetotheirfriends,attendmoreinterestingschoolactivitiesandspendenoughtimewithfamily.Parentsshouldwatchforsignsofdepression—eatingormoodchanges—andiftheyseesignsfromtheirdaughtersorsons,theyneedtogivehelp.Thegoodnewsisthattheconnectionbetweenromanceanddepressionseemstobecomeweakwithage.Lovewillalwaysmakeusfeelyoung,butonlymaturity(成熟)givesusachancetoavoiditsbadsideeffects.12.What’sthemainideaofthepassage?A.Puppylovemaybringyoungpeopledepression.B.Parentsshouldforbidtheirchildren’slove.C.Romanceisatwoedgedswordforadults.D.Romanceisgoodforyoungpeople.13.Whichofthefollowingismorelikelytohavedepression?A.Youngpeoplewhohaveastrongsenseofselfishness.B.Youngboyswhoseparentswatchfortheirbehavior.C.Younggirlswhoalwayshidetheirfeelingsandopinions.D.Carelessparentswhosechildrenaredeepinlove.14.Whatcanbeinferredfromthepassage?A.Lackinglovecanleadyoungpeopletogrowupmorequickly.BEarlylovemakesyoungpeoplekeepclosetotheirfriendsandparents.C.Teachersshouldhelptheirchildrentobeawareofthesignsofdepression.D.Theolderawomanis,thelesslikelysheseemstoloseherselfinromance.15.What’stheauthor’sattitudetowardspuppylove?A.Confused.

D.Afraid.【答案】12.A13.C14.D15.B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一项研究发现，早恋可能给年轻人带来压力，并可能导致忧郁症，并阐述了原因。【12题详解】主旨大意题。通读文章，结合第一段关键句“Anewstudyof8,000youngpeopleintheJournalofHealthandSocialBehaviorshowsthatalthoughlovecanmakeadultslivehealthilyandhappily,itisabadthingforyoungpeople.Puppylove(早恋)maybringstressforyoungpeopleandcanleadtodepression(忧郁症).”（《健康与社会行为》杂志对8000名年轻人进行的一项新研究表明，尽管爱情可以让成年人健康快乐地生活，但对年轻人来说却是一件坏事。早恋可能给年轻人带来压力，并可能导致忧郁症。）可知，本文主要介绍了一项研究发现，早恋可能给年轻人带来压力，并可能导致忧郁症，并阐述了原因，“Puppylovemaybringyoungpeopledepression.”意为“早恋可能会给年轻人带来忧郁症。”选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选A项。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Thepossiblereasonfortheconnectionbetweenloveandhigherriskofdepressionforgirlsis“lossofself”.”（对于女孩来说，爱情和更高的抑郁的风险之间的联系可能是因为“失去自我”。）和“Younggirlswhohaveromanticrelationshipsusuallylikehidingtheirfeelingsandopinions.Theywon’ttellthattotheirparents.”（拥有爱情关系的年轻女孩通常喜欢隐藏自己的感情和观点。她们不会告诉父母的。）可知，年轻女孩更容易患抑郁症，因为在爱情中容易“失去自我”，通常喜欢隐藏自己的感情和观点，不告诉他人，由此可知，更容易患抑郁症的是总是隐藏自己感情和观点的年轻女孩。故选C项。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“Thegoodnewsisthattheconnectionbetweenromanceanddepressionseemstobecomeweakwithage.Lovewillalwaysmakeusfeelyoung,butonlymaturity(成熟)givesusachancetoavoiditsbadsideeffects.”（好消息是，随着年龄的增长，爱情和抑郁之间的联系似乎越来越弱。爱总是让我们感觉年轻，但只有成熟才能让我们有机会避免它的不良副作用。）可知，随着年龄的增长，爱情和抑郁之间的联系越来越弱，女人也就不那么容易在爱情中迷失自我，由此可推断出，女人年龄越大，她似乎越不可能在爱情中迷失自我。故选D项。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Puppylove(早恋)maybringstressforyoungpeopleandcanleadtodepression(忧郁症).”（早恋可能给年轻人带来压力，并可能导致忧郁症。）和第三段关键句“Dr.MarianKaufman,anexpertonyoungpeopleproblems,says15%to20%youngpeoplewillhavedepressionduringtheirgrowing.Tryingromanceoftencausesthedepression.Sheadviseskidsnottojumpintoromancetooearly.”（MarianKaufman博士是一位年轻人问题专家，她说15%到20%的年轻人在成长过程中会有抑郁症。尝试爱情往往会导致抑郁。她建议孩子们不要过早陷入爱情。）可知，作者在文章中首先介绍了一项研究发现，早恋可能给年轻人带来压力，并可能导致忧郁症，并引用专家的话，告诉孩子们不要过早陷入爱情，由此可推断出，作者对早恋的态度是不赞成的。故选B项。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。WaystoHelpYourTeenAdjusttoaNewSchoolInanidealworld,ateencouldstartandfinishtheirschoolingatthesameschool.___16___.Andwhileamovetoanewcitycanbestressfulfortheentirefamily,itmaybeespeciallydifficultforyourteenager.Usethesestrategiestohelpyourteenadjusttoanewschool.___17___Theadjustmentperiodbeginsbeforeyourteeneverstepsfootintothenewschool.Pointoutthenewopportunitiesthat'llbeavailable.Ifyouhaveconfidencethatyoucanmakeitinanewcityoranewjob,yourteenwillfeelmoreconfidentabouthisabilitytosucceedinanewschool.Listentoyourteen'sconcernsIfyoudon'thaveanopenrelationshipwithyourteencurrently,nowitistimetobuildone.It'seasiesttogethimtoopenupwhenhe'sfeelingunsure.___18___.Isheworriedaboutnewteachers?Doeshedoubthisabilitytomakethebasketballteam?Talkaboutyourreasonsformoving___19___.Ifyou'repreparingforabettercareeropportunity,oryouneedtofindanewhousebecauseyoucan'taffordtostaywhereyouare,talkaboutit.LearnaboutthenewschoolaheadoftimeConductasmuchresearchaspossibleaboutthenewschoolbeforeyourteenstartsattending.Getyourteentofindoutaboutthesizeoftheschoolandthetypesofclassesoffered.___20___.Talkingtoanetworkguidancecounseloraheadoftimecanalsobehelpful.A.KeepapositiveattitudeB.Developyourteen'sdifferentabilitiesC.KeepaskingquestionsabouthisbiggestconcernsD.Behonestwithyourteenaboutwhyyou'removingE.MostschoolshavewebsitesthatofferawealthofinformationF.JoiningacluborplayingasportcanbeagreatwayforyourteenG.However,whenafamilymustmove,ateenagermustswitchschools【答案】16.G17.A18.C19.D20.E【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了家长如何帮助因搬家而不得不选择新学校的孩子适应新学校的几个方法。【16题详解】根据本空前的“Inanidealworld,ateencouldstartandfinishtheirschoolingatthesameschool”及本空后的“Andwhileamovetoanewcitycanbestressfulfortheentirefamily,itmaybeespeciallydifficultforyourteenager.”可知，此处与上文是转折关系，说的是搬家的时候，孩子就必须要换学校，故G项符合语境。【17题详解】根据本段内容，特别是“Pointoutthenewopportunitiesthat’llbeavailable.Ifyouhaveconfidencethatyoucanmakeitanewcityoranewjob,yourteenwillfeelmoreconfidentabouthisabilitytosucceedinanewschool.”可知，本段讲的是态度问题，故A项符合语境。【18题详解】根据本空后的“Isheworriedaboutnewteachers?Doeshedoubthisabilitytomakethebasketballteam?”可知，此处是说要持续关注孩子最大的担忧，C项中的questions与这两个问题相对应，故C项符合语境。【19题详解】根据本段小标题及本空后的内容可知，此处是说要如实地告诉孩子搬家的原因，故D项符合语境。【20题详解】根据本空后的“Talkingtoanetworkguidancecounseloraheadoftimecanalsobehelpful.”可知，此处说的是一种让孩子了解学校和课程的途径或者是与网络有关，，故E项符合语境。【名师点睛】在七选五的解题过程中，过渡衔接词是关键点，需要将表示不同逻辑的关联词有效结合起来，如表示并列或递进关系的词表示前后句子的名词或句意具有同指性，如and,or,also,too,besides,aswellas,what’smore等，例如本篇文章的第5题，由后面的also判断空格处应该提到一种了解学校及课程的途径或者是与网络有关，从而很容易确定答案。第二部分英语知识运用（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。LittleLadylostherfavoriteball.Therewerefewthingsthatbroughtthis17-month-oldmore___21___thanplayingwithherfavoriteball.Sowewenttothestoretoreplacethe___22___ball.LittleLady___23___theouting,sincethereweresomanyexcitingthingstogetofftheshelves.Andwhenwereachedtheballpassage,shenearlyjumpedforjoy.Asweleftthepassage,LittleLadywas___24___andsmiling,holdingher___25___ballinherhands.Whilewaitingtopay,LittleLady___26___aredballoonthathadobviouslybeenusedforsomeactivitiesbutwasnowwandering___27___aroundthefloorlikealostpuppy（小狗）.Ifyouthinkaballcanbring___28___,waittillyouseethesparkle（闪光）intheeyeofayoungchildw
