A
Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car,the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said,“Well,I could take you to the office for your interview. It's the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy's heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
56.Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?
A. He was out of work.
B.He was bored with his job.
C.He wanted a higher position.

A.A friend's car had a flat tyre.
B.A wild man was pushing a car.
C.A terrible car accident happened.
D.An old man's car broke down.
58.Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?
A.He was also to be interviewed.
B.He needed a travelling companion.
C.He always helped people in need.
D.He was thankful to Jimmy.
59.How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer's question?

D. The interviewer was very rude.

B
On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12-year-old boys,Christian and Jack,rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters,a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head,” Tim recalls (回忆).“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point,I considered turning back,” he says. “I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling,he was close enough to yell to the boys,“Take down the umbrella!”
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing,but the waves were almost too strong for him.
“Let's aim for the pier(码头),” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat,and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim?” he cried. “A little bit,”the boys said.
Once they were in the water,Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.
“Are we almost there?”they asked again and again. “Yes,” Tim told them each time.
After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.
60.Why did the two boys go to the sea?
A. To go boat rowing.
B. To get back their football.
C. To swim in the open water.
D.To test the umbrella as a sail.
61.What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The beach.
B. The water.
C. The boat.
D.The wind.
62.Why did Tim raise his head regularly?
A. To take in enough fresh air.
B. To consider turning back or not.
C. To check his distance from the boys.
D.To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.
63.How did the two boys finally reach the pier?
A. They were dragged to the pier by Tim.
B. They swam to the pier all by themselves.
C. They were washed to the pier by the waves.
D.They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.

C
Almost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know,however,that they existed over
5, 500 years ago in ancient Asia.
The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.
But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually,road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design.
In the mid-1700s,a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer (层)of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong,lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same time,metal hubs(the central part of a wheel) came into being,followed by the pneumatic tyre(充气轮胎) in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(柏油路).As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.
64.What might explain why transport wheels didn't become popular for some time?
A.Few knew how to use transport wheels.
B.Humans carried farming tools just as well.
C.Animals were a good means of transport.
D.The existence of transport wheels was not known.
65.What do we know about road design from the passage?
A.It was easier than wheel design.
B.It improved after big changes in vehicle design.
C.It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles.
D.It provided conditions for wheel design to develop.
66.How is the last paragraph mainly developed?
A.By giving examples.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By following time order.
D.By making classifications.
67.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The beginning of road design.
B.The development of transport wheels.
C.The history of public transport.
D.The invention of fast-moving vehicles.

答案与解析
21.A 考查冠词。句意:四个半小时的讨论一直持续到半夜,我们休息了一下,吃点奶酪、巧克力,喝点加糖的茶。four and a half hours四个半小时;后面a break表示“休息一下”。
22.C 考查连词。句意:尽管改变习惯很难,但是只要有意识和自制力,还是可以改变的。
23. A 考查倒装句。此处seldom为否定副词,置于句首时,主句须部分倒装。又因时间状语表一段时间,故用现在完成时。
24. B 考查非谓语动词。句意:因为他的智力被赞扬得太多了,哈利经常忽略了努力的重要性。本句中 praise 作状语,其逻辑主语是 Harry,主谓之间是被动关系,所以排除 A 和 C 选项。B 项表示被动和完成;D项表示被动和进行。所以 B 选项最佳。
25. A 考查宾语从句的连接词。句意:我们生活在一个人们称之为“信息时代”的年代,所以一切皆有可能。此处in后面是宾语从句,在宾语从句中what作call的宾语。call后接复合宾语。
26. A 考查副词词义辨析。此处highly意为“非常,高度地”;reasonably意为“合理地,明智地”;strongly意为“强劲地,坚定地,强烈地”;naturally意为“自然地,天生地”。因此,在这里应用highly“非常”这个副词。
27. A 考查状语从句的连接词。句意:多久之后电脑公司才能推出新产品?此处“it will be+一段时间+before…”意为“……之后才……”。
28.D 考查情态动词较为特殊的用法。句意:我十分震惊,那个孩子竟然对他的父母说了那样的话。此处should意为:竟然。
29.B 考查定语从句。该句中的先行词是a viewing platform,此处先行词在定语从句中作地点状语,故用关系副词where,选B项。
30.C 考查不定代词的用法。句中I had thought是插入成分,one代替a new life。也可以用关系代词which,指代a new life。
31.D 考查名词性从句。句中的it是形式主语,________ the dogs will be well cared for while we're away是真正的主语,故用引导词that。句意:我们不在的时候这些狗会被照顾得很好,知道这些我们很高兴。
32. A 考查动词短语辨析。句意:越来越多的富人已经许诺,他们去世后会把他们的财产捐给那些穷人和残疾人。give away赠送,分发;give up放弃;give out分发,用尽;give in屈服,上交。根据题意可知选A项。
33.C 考查动词的时态。句意:——你听到过有关最近的选举的消息了吗?——肯定听过啦,这可是最近三天唯一的新闻事件。根据时间状语for the last three days可知,该新闻一直延续到了现在,用现在完成时态。
34.A 考查强调句型。此句为not until…句型的强调句式,故答案为that。句意:直到快接近信的结尾处她才提到了她自己的计划。
35. C 考查情景交际。句意:“你认为我应该接受他的邀请吗,Jim?”“为什么不呢?如果我是你,我肯定接受。”None of your business. 不关你的事。用于告诫让别人不要做这件事;It depends. 视情况而定。Why not? 为什么不呢?I don't think so. 我不这样认为。根据句意可知选C项。
第二节 完形填空

36.A 考查副词辨析。根据本句中the same thing的提示可知,作者和其他人都在各自(separately)追逐同一个梦想。
37.B 考查副词辨析。根据前半部分“经历了不愉快的事件”以及后面一句话“我发现自己无家可归、独身一人”可知,此处指作者的生活变得一团糟。fall apart意为“破碎,土崩瓦解”。故选B项。
38.D 考查动词辨析。根据本句可知,作者在乡下寻找能租住的地方。search意为“寻找”,符合语境。
39.D 考查形容词最高级辨析。根据前一句“I had my truck and $56.”以及后面一句中“I came upon a shabby house…”可知,作者身上没多少钱,所以要租最便宜的房子。故选D项。
40.C 考查介词辨析。表示横跨河面的道路通常用介词over。
41.B 考查动词辨析。根据house的修饰词shabby和full of broken glass and rubbish可知,这幢房子没人居住,是被遗弃的。故选B项。

46.C 考查形容词辨析。根据第一段可知,作者理解的美国梦就是取得个人成就,而这里他们认为的梦想是邻里友好相处,因此是不同的。故选C项。
47.A 考查名词辨析。四个选项中与individual achievement相对的应是neighborliness(邻里友好),且前文中也提到此。
48.D 考查形容词辨析。根据第一段可知,作者之前认为的那些东西如工作、按揭、信贷、成功,是文明生活中必须具备的,而在这个地方完全不存在。与nonexistent相对的是necessary。
49.A 考查副词辨析。根据第二段第五句可知,此处指在山上,故选A项。
50.B 考查名词辨析。根据第三段最后一句中“…but of neighborliness.”的提示可知,在这座山上,作者最有价值的财富便是与邻居间的关系(relationship)。
51.C 考查名词辨析。根据第二段可知,作者在乡下居住;根据本句中moved back可知,现在是回到城里。故选C项。
52.B 考查动词辨析。根据本句前半句提示可知,许多人过着艰难的生活,说明他们失去工作和家园。故选B项。
53.C 考查动词短语辨析。根据下文可知,作者租住的房子最初有4个人,然后又多达9个人,因此,他租了一间足够大的房子,是为了收留更多的人。take in意为“收留”,符合语境。
54.B 考查名词辨析。如果不联合起来,作者和他们就会都在避难所(shelter)。
55.D 考查连词辨析。现在作者所信仰的“美国梦”是同舟共济,不是能为自己获得什么,而是如何通过共同努力让所有人都有收获。此处表示方式,所以用how。

第四部分
第一节 短文改错
1.holding改为hold 考查不定式的用法。此处used to意为“过去常常”,to是不定式符号。故用动词原形。
2.passes改为passed 考查动词时态。根据前面的“I was only four…”可知,用一般过去时。
3.much改为 well/clearly 考查副词词义及用法。根据句意可知,我很清楚地记得我的爷爷。
4.shoulder改为shoulders 考查名词单复数的用法。根据常理可知“人有两个肩膀”,所以用复数形式。
5.toward改为to/into 考查介词的用法。根据句意可知,这里指黑胡子变成了花白胡子,所以用turn from…to/into…的形式。
6.himself改为him 考查代词的用法。句意:他深沉的声音把他和别人区别开来。所以用him。
7.he前加and 考查连词的用法。根据句中结构可知两个分句是并列关系,所以用and连接。
8.去掉fact前的a 考查冠词的用法。根据固定短语in fact可知,去掉a。
9.during改为when 考查状语从句的连接词。“…they came over to play or do homework with me.”是句子,所以,用连词when。during是介词,不能连接状语从句。
10.never改为 ever 考查副词词义及语境理解。根据句意“他是我认识的最绅士的人”可知,将never改为ever。
第二节 书面表达
One possible version:
The Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn_Festival_falls_on_the_15th_of_the_eighth_month_of_our_Chinese_lunar_
calendar. As one of the traditional Chinese festivals, it has been enjoying great popularity in our country. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy we are, we will try to come home for the celebration. The moon that night looks the brightest in the whole lunar month. What we love most is the time we enjoy the full moon together. With the beautiful moon up in the sky, we sit together and eat moon-cakes and fruit, sharing our stories. In addition to these traditional activities, we have a wider range of choices such as travelling and visiting our relatives or friends.
