China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道).Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的).To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
56.According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A.Because they are traditional and safe.
B.Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C.Because they are colorful and available.
D.Because they are fast and environment friendly.
57.The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ________.
A.to ride it for fun
B.to use it for transport
C.to experience local culture
D.to improve his riding skills
58.How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A.It was boring.
B.It was difficult.
C.It was lively.
D.It was wonderful.
59.Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?
A.The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B.The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C.The author was praised by the other bikers.
D.The author took great pleasure in biking.

[2013·新课标全国卷Ⅱ]
In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon,groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the “Fringe”,once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theatre groups performing,some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.
64.What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?
A. To bring Europe together again.
B. To honor heroes of World War Ⅱ.
C. To introduce young theatre groups.
D. To attract great artists from Europe.
65. Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?
A. They owned a public house there.
B. They came to take up a challenge.
C. They thought they were also famous.
D. They wanted to take part in the festival.
66. Who joined the “Fringe” after it appeared?
A.Popular writers.
B. University students.
C.Artists from around the world.
D. Performers of music and dance.
67.We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival ________.
A. has become a non-official event
B. has gone beyond an art festival
C. gives shows all year round
D. keeps growing rapidly

“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “Manners_have_fallen_off_the_radar(雷达).” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don't wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint(抱怨)about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don't work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude messages by email.
However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don't assume it is OK to be rude if the person you're in touch with won't recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.
We shouldn't blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us,but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we'd publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.
68.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?
A.People can tell good from bad behavior.
B.Radar is able to observe human behavior.
C.People care little about their behavior.
D.Radar can be used to predict human behavior.
69.Some people are less willing to deal with humans because ________.
A.they are becoming less patient
B.they are growing too independent
C.they have to handle many important messages
D.they have to follow an evolutionary step backward
70.The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ________.
A.ridiculous B.disgusting
C.acceptable D.reasonable

What makes a good school?
I'm a parent of two elementary students.The experience that my children are going through now in the elementary school is so different from mine when I was at their age.What I think of a good school is communication between teachers.students and parents. 71 Parent-teacher communication guarantees that a child is educated in the same way and in turn a child will build special bonds in communication between their teachers and parents.
72 My children return home telling me that their teachers ignore their questions when they raise their hands and don’t talk much.On the other hand,I feel the same when I write notes to school. 73 This is telling me there is a lack in communication from the school teachers nowadays as their life is so overwhelmed by the over-crowded schools we have in the US.
However.choosing a career in education is not just for a good job.A teacher should really have heart in touching every child’s life. 74 Even now,I still remember all my elementary school teachers’ names. 75 The answer lies in the fact that they spent every minute of their precious time helping me and answering all my questions with patience.When you have teachers who are willing to spend time for any child and communicate with parents,it is what I consider a GREAT school for a child to attend,not just GOOD.
A.I don’t get any response from the teachers to my questions,not even a one-word response.
B.There are different ways of communication, according to different cultures.
C.Why is that?
D.Strong communication is very important to a child’s education.
E.I feel that schools nowadays don’t communicate with parents enough and neither is involvement.
F.My elementary school teachers all touched my life.
G.What do you think of it?

Dear Linda,
We have some excited news for you. Maria is going to have a baby! We don’t tell you right away. At first the doctor said she might have some trouble of the baby. Now he says she is just fine. She still works on his paintings every day. But she stopped from teaching her art classes. There is going to have another big change in our life. We’re moving back to New York! It’s very much nicer to be near the families for something important like a baby. Maria grew up in Mexico,but she doesn’t have a family here. So that makes even more important to us.
Yours,
Dick

1.未及时回信的原因;
2.你假期的打算(如做兼职、旅行、做志愿者等)。
注意:1. 词数:100—120;
2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
答案与解析
21.D 考查情景对话。根据语境“I'm afraid you have the wrong number.”可知“打错号码了”,所以向对方表示歉意,选D。
22.C 考查冠词用法。第一空由于有后续同位语从句的特指说明,因此用定冠词;第二空需要的手术是首次提及,用不定冠词。
23.B 考查动词的时态。催促别人快点,因为Mark和Carol正等着呢,所以用现在进行时。
24.A 考查非谓语动词。在该句中,逻辑主语是some health problems,与 treat之间构成被动关系,所以用过去分词,when not treated in time是when they are not treated in time 的省略,选A项。B、C和D项虽然也都表示被动,但B项强调正在进行的动作;C项强调将来的动作;D项则强调已经完成的动作,故都排除。
25. C 考查虚拟语气。句意:“我们本来可以赢得比赛的,但是你失分了,使我们丧失了赢的机会。”“非常抱歉!”。根据题意可知我们本来会赢的,但最终没赢,与过去事实相反,所以用could have done结构,故选C项。
26.B 考查动词辨析。句意:——这座城市如此美丽啊!我喜爱它。——我也是。这座城市的特征得到了很好的保存。preserve意为“保护,保存”,符合题意。qualify意为“有资格”;decorate意为“装饰”;simplify意为“简化”。
27.D 考查动词短语辨析。大学毕业生毕业前举行毕业典礼,这之后应该是踏上人生旅程,故选D。set off出发;give up放弃;settle down安顿下来;get through通过。
28.C 考查动词时态。根据题干中的when可知所填动词构成固定句型be doing sth…when…,意思是“当……这时……”,表示正在做某事,这时发生了另一件事,由后面句子中的“went blank”可知用过去进行时, 故选C。句意:Jim深夜在家看电影,当剧情到最激动人心的时刻时,电视突然没信号了。
29. C 考查连词辨析。句意:无论何时我们给他东西吃,他总是省下来留给他的小妹妹。whenever意为“无论何时”,符合题意。whatever意为“无论什么”;however意为“无论怎样”;whichever意为“无论哪个(些)”。
30.B 考查介词短语。on behalf of 表示“为了……的利益;代表……”。句意:我代表这里所有人,祝你回国旅途愉快。
31.A 考查副词辨析。句意:多么可怕的经历呀!至少,你现在是安全的——那是最要紧的。anyway意为“无论如何,至少”,符合语境;besides意为“而且,此外”;otherwise意为“否则”;therefore意为“因此”。
32.A 考查代词的用法。根据空格后定语从句中的谓语动词是单数形式可知,此处先行词为表示单数概念的代词,所以排除those;代词one既可指代人也可指代物,而that只能指代事物而不能指代人。此处one指代a chemist。
33.C 考查定语从句。句意:他写了一封信,在信中,他解释了在这次事故中所发生的事情。 定语从句中带了一个宾语从句,先行词在从句中作状语,where相当于in which。
34.B 考查名词性从句的连接词。is之前为主语从句,该从句缺主语,指的是事物,所以选B。
35. C 考查原因状语用法。句意:动画片《喜羊羊与灰太狼》非常吸引孩子,因为它迎合了他们的兴趣。so…that…引导结果或目的状语从句,与题意不符;which哪一个;because因为;while尽管。

第三部分 阅读理解
A
【要点综述】 本文是记叙文,主要讲作者来到中国,为了体验当地文化,买了一辆自行车在大街上骑自行车的快乐经历。
56.B 细节理解题。根据“对许多人来说,这是今天最简单、最便宜的出行方式”可推断,流行的原因是自行车不贵而且方便,所以选B。
57.C 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“渴望成为中国文化的一部分,我决定买一辆自行车”可推断,作者是想体验中国当地文化。
58.B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“过马路是最大的问题”,再加上下文的描述可知,对他来说,过马路是很困难的。
59.D 推理判断题。最后一段中描述“在自行车上这种感觉是令人惊讶的,微风吹过我的脸和头发,这种感觉是美妙的”说明作者在骑自行车的过程中是快乐的。
B
【要点综述】 本文是一则网络广告。短文通过陈列多位名人的成功实例来吸引读者对Andrew Zuckerman项目的关注。
60.A 细节理解题。第一段第一句说明了Andrew Zuckerman采访几位智者的目的:传承智慧。
61.D 推理判断题。Federico Mayor Zaragoza专业为药学,但后来从政多年,接着担任联合国教科文组织领导人,又创建和平文化基金并担任会长,除多部科学出版物以外,还有诗歌小说集多部,可谓建树颇多。
62.C 推理判断题。Nadine Gordimer的教育背景比较简单, 但她取得了巨大的文学成就。
63.B 综合推理题。通过在网站上发布这几位智者的简介来推介Andrew Zuckerman的项目。
C
【要点综述】 本文主要介绍了Fringe的成长和发展的历史过程。在英国,二战刚结束以后,百废待兴。从战争和痛苦之中解脱出来的人们期待着一次艺术的盛会。第一届爱丁堡艺术节从战后的艺术家群体里邀请了所有知名的艺术家,可谓盛况空前。八支同样具有好评的艺术团体自费来到英国,组成团体,在爱丁堡艺术节举办的同时自发地举办了他们自己的艺术节。
64.A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.”可以推知,其目的是为了让二战后的欧洲再次团结起来。
65.D 细节理解题。第三段中的“…in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so…”说明他们的目的是参加这个节日。
66.B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University…”等信息可知,大学生参加到Fringe中。
67.D 推理判断题。文章最后一段叙述了Edinburgh Festival的不断发展,D项的意思符合题意,故为最佳答案。
D
【要点综述】 科技的发展改变了人们的生活方式。许多人变得冷酷无礼了,他们不愿意与别人交流,整天宅在家里上网。
68.C 句意理解题。根据第一段“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor' than ever before”可知,“现在的人变得更加没有礼貌”,而画线句是对该句作补充说明的,意思是“现在的人们不注意自己的行为举止(礼貌行为用雷达都探测不到)”,故选C。
69.A 推理判断题。根据题干中“less willing to deal with humans”定位到文章第二段中第二、三句内容。由此可知,有些人不愿意跟人打交道是嫌人太慢(feels very slow),达不到4G速度(don't work at 4G speeds)。也就是说,这些人变得缺乏耐心。故选A。
70.B 细节理解题。根据题干中“unsigned awful messages”定位到第三段最后一句“Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.”。由线索定位中的句子可知,发一些不署名的恶俗信息很令人厌烦。
71—75 DEAFC
短文改错:
1. excited →exciting。消息是“令人激动的”。
2. don’t →didn’t。 下一句暗示了这是描述当时的情景,应用一般过去时。
3. trouble后的of→ with。have trouble with sth.是固定搭配,意为“在……方面有麻烦”。
4. his→ her。此处指Maria。
5. 去掉from。 stop doing sth.停止做某事;stop sb. from doing sth.阻止某人做某事。二者意义不同。
6. have→ be。There be…句型的谓语动词应用be 动词或其他表示存在意义的动词,如live, stand, lie 等。
7. 去掉very。very much 多用来修饰动词;very 不能修饰形容词、副词的比较级,much 则可以。
8.families→ family。结合语境,这里指一个家庭。
9. but→ and。前后为顺接关系。
10. makes后加you。这里动词make后接复合宾语结构。
One possible version:
Dear Tom,
How are you doing? You asked me in your last letter about my plan for the coming summer vacation. I am sorry that I didn't reply without delay. How I wish I would read and reply your email as soon as I received it. However, I was busy preparing for my final exam at that time, which is vital for me. As a result, I had no choice but to completely focus on my study, for which I am very sorry. I hope you can understand me.
During the holiday, I am going to do a part-time job. On the one hand, I can earn some money to reduce the burden of my family. On the other hand, I can accumulate the social experience, which does good to my future life. At the same time, I will not forget to go over my lesson. I will spend an instructive holiday. How will you spend your holiday? I hope you have a good time.
These are my plans for the summer vacation. What's yours? I am looking forward to your earliest reply.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
