M: Ok, I watch people a lot, I do that when I travel, I have been to many countries such as Britain, Italy, and Sweden. So I spent a lot of time at the airports, while waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple, they were buying magazines at that moment, they were not wearing business clothes, but the man was carrying a suitcase, every few seconds, the women looked around, I wondered someone was following them. Perhaps they were running away and, you know, this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day: a banker stole one million ponds a week before and disappeared with his wife, there was a picture of them in the paper, the couple really looked like the thieves, maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other. And the women walked away. Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that, but I find things like that very useful for my writing

第二部分英语知识运用
第一节单项填空
从Ａ、B、C、D 四个选项中，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。
21. ---It looks heavy. Can I give you a hand?
---_______.
A. No, thanks
B. Yes, my pleasure
C. No, never mind
D. Yes, I do
【答案】A
【解析】考查交际用语。前句表示主动提出给对方以帮助，我们无论同意与否，都要向对方表示感谢。my pleasure用来回答别人的感谢；Never mind表示告诉某人不要担心某事。
22. Let?s go to ______ cinema –that?ll take your mind off the problem for _____while.
A. the; the
B. the; a
C. a; the
D. a; a
【答案】B
【解析】考查冠词。go to the cinema属于固定词组，the cinema表示泛指的电影院；for a while 表示短暂的时间，“一会儿”。句意是“咱们去看电影吧，这样就会暂时忘记这个烦恼”。
23. How much _______ she looked without her glasses!
A. well
B. good
C. best
D. better
【答案】D
【解析】考查比较级。这里的“不戴眼镜”她看起来好得多，暗含着与她“戴眼镜”进行比较。形容词比较级可与much、even、far等连用。
24. Could I speak to ______ is in charge of International Sales please?
A. who
B. what
C. whoever
D. whatever
【答案】C
【解析】考查连接代词。句意是“请找负责国际销售的任何人接电话好吗”。这里的whoever 相当于anybody that，它既是主句的宾语，也是宾语从句的引导词。
25. What do you mean, there are only ten tickets? There _____ be twelve.
A. should
B. would
C. will
D. shall
【答案】A
【解析】考查情态动词。前句意思是，“你说什么，只有10张票？”可见说话者感到吃惊，由此可判断下句说话意思是“…应该?有12张票”。should表示应该符合句意。
26. His sister left home in 1998, and _______since.
A. had not been heard of
B. has not been heard of
C. had not heard of
D. has not heard of
【答案】B
【解析】C、D是主动语态，hear of表示“听说”，后面应该有宾语。前句意思是“他妹妹1998年离开的家”，说明1998年前有音信，由此可判断下句意思是“她妹妹从1998年到现在以来才没有音信的（被听说过）”，因此是现在完成时态。
27. I tried phoning her office, but I couldn?t _______.
A. get along
B. get on
C. get to
D. get through
【答案】D
【解析】考查词组的意义。前句意思是“我试着给他的办公室打电话”，根据后面的转折词语but告诉我们，这个电话没有“打通”。get through表示“打通”电话，与某人通电话则是get through to，其它短语无此意。
28. She brought with her three friends, none of ______ I had ever met before.
A. them
B. who
C. whom
D. these
【答案】C
【解析】考查关系代词。分析句子结构可以看出“none of ______ I had ever met before”是非限制性定语从句，修饰three friends。Of是介词，之后要用表示人的关系代词whom。
29. Edward, you play so well. But I ______ you played the piano.
A. didn?t know
B. hadn?t known
C. don?t know
D. haven?t known
【答案】A
【解析】前句说。Edward，你（钢琴）弹得这么好，可见现在已经知道“你弹钢琴”，不知道是在过去，而不是现在，因此句子用一般过去时。
30. The children all turned ____ the famous actress as she entered the classroom.
A. looked at
B. to look at
C. to looking at
D. look at
【答案】B
【解析】考查非谓语动词。后句意思是“这位著名女演员一走进教室”，可以猜测前句意思是“孩子们都转身去看她”。turn意思是转身，后面跟不定式作状语，表示目的。
31. The computer was used in teaching. As a result, not only__________, but students became more
interested in the lessons.
A. saved was teachers? energy
B. was teachers? energy saved
C. teachers? energy was saved
D. was saved teachers? energy
【答案】B
【解析】考查倒装句。在英语中not only位于句首时主谓要倒装，因此该句子中的主语teachers? energy与谓语was saved要用倒装语序。句意是“教学中计算机的使用，不仅节省了老师的精力，而且学生对课程产生了兴趣”。
32. Encourage your children to try new things, but try not to ___ them too hard.
A. draw
B. strike
C. rush
D. push
【答案】D
【解析】考查动词辨义。上句是“鼓励孩子们尝试新的事情”，结合选项可判断下文意思是“但尽力不要使劲地…督促?他们”。
33. One of the most important questions they had to consider was _____ of public health.
A. what
B. this
C. that
D. which
【答案】C
【解析】考查代词。分析句子结构可看出they had to consider是定语从句，可见was是系动词，根据选项可判断后面不是句子，不需要疑问词，排除A和D。通过句子结构的分析空格应是指上文的question这个名词。语法告诉我们that指上文，而this指下文。句意是“他们不得不考虑的最重要的问题之一就是公众健康的问题”。
34. Everybody was touched _____ words after they heard her moving story.
A. beyond
B. without
C. of
D. in
【答案】A
【解析】考查介词。beyond words表示“在言语之外”，即不能用言语来表达，也就是“无法形容”了。句意是“听到她的感人故事之后，他们感动得无法用语言来形容”。
35. Now that we?ve discussed our problem, are people happy with the decisions _______?
A. taking
B. take
C. taken
D. to take
【答案】C
【解析】考查非谓语动词。这里的decisions是take的宾语，具有动宾关系，因此用过去分词，作后置定语。句意是“既然我们已经讨论了我们的问题，人们对做出的决定满意吗”。

【短文大意】
人们认为《金银岛》一书是史蒂文森凭空想象出来的，然而最近的研究表明这部作品出笼的细节。
史蒂文森旅居国外多年，在1881年，他从美国携带妻子和儿子回国度假。由于天气一直下雨，他们呆在宾馆。为了让儿子高兴，他就让儿子作画来。一天早上，儿子拿着一张画有岛屿的画作来找父亲，他在岛中画了一个十字符号，说是那里有埋藏的珍宝。于是，一部用英语写成的伟大的的探险小说在史蒂文森的笔下完成了。
【解题分析】
36.【答案】A
【解析】空格前句意是“人们一直认为《金银岛》一书是史蒂文森凭空想象出来的”，后面的句意是“最近的一项研究发现这部令人激动的作品的一些真是的经历”。显然，两句具有转折关系。
37.【答案】D
【解析】根据前面的Stevenson, a Scotsman以及后句的“In 1881 he returned to Scotland....”及
“With him were his American wife Fanny and his son”可判断空格中应表明他不是独身一人，二是与家人一起在国外居住多年。
38. 【答案】C
【解析】根据第三段中第一句Each morning Stevenson would take them out ... over the hills,可判断他们每天早上是爬山游玩，一次断定回国是为了“度假”。
39.【答案】A
【解析】根据Kept indoors the heavy rain, Lloyd felt the days以及下文的To keep the boy happy, Robert asked the boy...，可判断是Lloyd。
40.【答案】C
【解析】既然是度假，而且是一家人去山上，因此一定是“漫步”。
41.【答案】D
【解析】每天山上漫步，一定感到很惬意，应该是一种“享受”。
42. 【答案】B
【解析】然而大雨却让他们不得不呆在室内。孩子感觉天一定会很“阴暗”，只有dull符合句意。
43. 【答案】C
【解析】根据下文的with a beautiful map of an island以及the boy had drawn a large cross...可判断是drawing。
44.【答案】B
【解析】“孩子在图上岛的中间画了一个十字”，这个应该是父亲细心，“注意到”的事情。45. 【答案】D
【解析】根据上文a beautiful map of an island以及题目可判断。
46.【答案】B
【解析】宝藏应该是被人埋藏在岛中的某个地点，因此选buried。
47.【答案】A
【解析】句意为：突然，史蒂文森从儿子的绘画中设想出一个探险故事。see含有“设想、预想”之意。
48.【答案】C
【解析】上文谈到儿子拿来一幅画给父亲看，因此可判断父亲是从儿子的绘画中得到灵感。
49.【答案】B
【解析】上文有父亲坐在炉火旁写作，因此可判断，这里是他想让故事中的主人翁就是他儿子一样的孩子。hero意思是“主人翁，英雄”。
50.【答案】A
【解析】词组with the help of表示“在……帮助下；借助于”。
51.【答案】C
【解析】上文有故事的主人翁产生了，海盗是谁呢？作者紧接着突然提及父亲有一个朋友，借助于一只木头腿走路，而下文中的such a man in the story即指这个朋友，可见意思是在书中“包括”这样一个人物。
52.【答案】D
【解析】上下文之间为因果关系，故填thus。
53. 【答案】B
【解析】根据上文这一句总结了海盗“诞生”的过程。
54. 【答案】A
【解析】上文有因“雨”，才有后面的故事，因“孩子”，“木头腿的朋友”才有了故事的中的人物，金银岛一书应多亏了那个“下雨的”九月等。
55. 【答案】D
【解析】根据47空后的an adventure story暗示，以及常识可知《金银岛》是探险小说。
第三部分阅读理解
A
I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.
There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother?s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk (象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.
Just at this moment she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death.
I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.
While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother?s love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring (吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.

Computer programmer David Jones earns ￥35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card (信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David?s firm releases (推出) two new games for the fast throwing computer market each month.

David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.” David added: “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market m ight disappear.”

A. He often goes out with friends.

61. What is one of the problems that David is facing now?
A. He is too young to get a credit card.
B. He has no time to learn driving.
C. He has very little spare time.
D. He will soon lose his job.

A. He had done well in all his exams.

C
We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwe st, it?s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals,” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Pr eparedness at Columbia University.
It?s not just that we?re going to where the animals are; we?re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen?s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don?t think it?s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,” says Isaksen.
“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter con trol need changing,” says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful (有害的).

【短文大意】饲养宠物可能被传播疾病。猴痘本是非洲雨林中的一种疾病，现在突然出现了美国西部的孩子们身上。大多数我们认为只有人类才会感染的疾病其实就是来自动物。国家要制定严格的法律，控制动物把疾病传播给人类。
【解题分析】
64.【答案】D
【分析】根据We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it?s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings.可推断，从宠物商店购买的动物身上携带疾病。
65.【答案】D
【分析】根据A strange ill ness killed Isaksen?s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don?t think it?s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them” 可判断。
66.【答案】B
【分析】根据上文，猴痘是一种从非洲的动物身上传播到人类身上的疾病，紧接着作者说这种没有经过严格控制的法律需要改变。最后又以猴痘为例，由此可判断“the wake-up call”表示“一种警示”。
67.【答案】A

It?s not easy being a teenager (13至19岁青少年) – nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you?ll still be there for him when he needs you.
Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don?t insist he tell you what?s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he?ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself. At the same time, remind hi m that you?re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager?s privacy (隐私). Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.
Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family?s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the
phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.
68. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents ______.
A. how to get along with a teenager
