AWinnie-the-PoohBy neWinnie-the-Pooh has been introduced and reintroduced to generation after generation as a model of a child’s best friend. However, not everyone has found Pooh is lovely. This classic has been bannedin a variety of countries at one point.So why would anyone ever like to keep children from, the joy of Milne’s classic? In the case of Russia, Minnie-the-Pooh was banned in 2009 because of allege(所谓的)Nazi（纳粹党的）ties.The Wonderful wizard of OzBy L. Frank BaumOriginally published in the year 1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is one of the foundations of the fairytale genre. Who, then, would seek to ban a book that has become so important to the American experience?America is that who.The Detroit Library banned The wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1957 for allegedly having no value for children. Charlotte’s WebBy E.B. WhiteWhite’s tale of the relationship between two unexpected creatures, a spider and a pig, has been drawing children in for over half a century. Published in 1952, the classic has been readily displayed on most library shelves for children to read. However, some people would like to make this book never see thelight of the day.In one extreme case, a school in England banned Charlotte’s Web for fear that the pig Wilbur might be offensive(冒犯的) to Muslim students. Fortunately, the Muslin Council of Britain saw the foolishness of this ban, so the book was quickly put back to their rightful place on the shelves.Where the Wild Things AreBy Maurice SendakThough it’s been published for fifty years, this book hasn’t always been really found in libraries and in stores. After its release, Where the Wild Things Are was banned in libraries all across the U. S. for its dark tone and unruly lead character. Some parents felt obviously uncomfortable about Max, the story’s main character. Nowadays, you’ll find far fewer libraries that still hold this ban.1.The books which were once banned in the same country are .A.Charlotte’s Web and The Wonderful Wizard of OzB.Where the Wild Things Are and Winnie-the-PoohC.Where the Wild Things Are and The Wonderful Wizard of OzD.Winnie-the-Pooh and Charlotte’s Web2.Wilbur is the character of the book .A. Charlotte’s Web.B. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.C. Winnie-the-Pooh.D. Where the Wild Things Are.3.Who are the intended readers of the four books mentioned in the passage?A. Parents.B. Children.C. Teachers.D. Critics.BFrom my earlier memory of Mother it somehow seemed quite natural to think of her as different, nor of everyday things as Father was. In those days he was a young-looking man. He did not hesitate to make friends with children as soon as they were able to talk to him and laugh at his stories. Mother was older than he was. She must have been a woman of nearly forty, but she seemed even older. She changed little for a long time, showing no indication of growing old at all until, towards the end of her life, she suddenly became an old lady.I was always inquisitive about Mother’s age. She never had birthdays like other people, nor did anyone else in our family. No candles were ever lit or cakes made or presents given in our house. To my friends in the street who talked delightfully about their birthday parties, I would repeat my mother’s words that such celebrations were only foolish.‚Nothing but deception,‛ she would say. ‚As though life can be marked by birthdays. It’s deeds, not years, that matter.‛Although I often repeated her words and even prided myself on not having birthdays, I once could not help asking Mother when she was born.‚I was born. I’m alive as you can see, so what more do you want to know？‛ she replied, so sharply that I never asked her about her age again.In so many other ways Mother was different. Whereas all the rest of the women I knew in the neighboring hoses took pride in their housewifely abilities, their new furniture, the neat appearance of their homes, Mother regarded all those things as of little importance. Our house always looked as if we had just moved in or were about to move out.4.How did Father impress the author？A. He liked writing stories.B. He loved making friends.C. He was a very young man.D. He was popular with children.5.Before the end of her life, Mother .A. looked quite youngB. looked like an old ladyC. looked younger than she wasD. looked like a forty-year-old woman6.What does the word ‚inquisitive‛ in Paragraph2 probably mean？A. CertainB. Curious.C. Cautious.D. Confident.7.What do we learn about Mother？A. She was lazy.B. She was strict.C. She was proud.D. She was specialCIt is only praise or punishment that determines a child’s level of confidence. There are some other important ways we shape our kids-particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a child ‚Don’t run into traffic!‛ pr ‚Stay on the footpath close to me.‛ In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and aren’t scaring themselves about what not to do.Why does such a small thing make a difference？It is all in the way the human mind works. What we think, we automatically rehearse (预演). For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn’t be able to do it. When a child is told ‚Don’t fall off the tree,‛ he will think of two things: ‚don’t‛ and ‚fall off the tree‛. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind. A child who is vividlyimagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off. So it is far better to use ‚Hold on to the tree carefully.‛Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things. Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive. ‚Sam, hold on firm to the side of the boat‛ is much more useful than ‚Don’t you dare to fall out of the boat‛ or worse still ‚How do you think I’ll feel if you drown‛ The changes are small but the difference is obvious.Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.8.Positive choice of words helps kids to .A. do things carefullyB. build up their confidenceC. improve their imaginationD. learn in different situations9.What can we infer from Paragraph 2？A. A child will act on what is instructedB. One can’t help imagining what is heard.C. A child will fall off the tree when told not to.D. One won’t think of a blue monkey when given money.10.Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe？A. Fasten your seat belt.B. Don’t play by the lake.C. How do you think I’ll feel if you get hurtD. Don’t you dare to walk through the red light11.The main idea of the passage is that .A. praise makes kids confidentB. right instructions keep kids safeC. clear commands make kids differentD. choice of words can make a differenceDIn today’s consumer world, we’ve never had so much, yet it seems we’ve never been so unsatisfied. The cost of housing has been rising for decades, and the cost to the planet has been huge, too. But there is a way to live a simpler, greener, and more affordable life: buy a TinyDwelling home!TinyDwelling homes are very small, yet comfortable houses at affordable prices. Each TinyDwelling home has a contemporary design and included a living room, kitchen, bathroom, upstairs sleeping area, and convenient storage space. TinyDwelling homes are cheap to run and ecologically-friendly, too. All you need is a small heater to keep your house warm in cold weather, and solar panels (太阳能电池板) in order to provide light and electricity.TinyDwelling is part of the small-living movement that began in the late 1990s. Back then, a growing number of people began to live in very small homes. They wanted to reduce their possessions, living space, and energy costs, so as to lead more ecologically-friendly lives. But the small-living movement really took off after the economic crisis of 2008, when many people realized that they couldn’t afford to keep large homes. Lizzy Morriaon, a small-living enthusiast, started TinyDwelling homes in 2008 to meet the needs of these people. Since then, Lizzy has been designing and building homes nonstop, and TinyDwelling homes have become so popular that thousands of people have bought one. And Lizzy hasn’t only designing and building houses. She has also been teaching people how to build them. Simply buy the plans and materials so that you can build your own home, and save even more money!12.It is implied in Paragraph 1 that .A. rich people are very unsatisfiedB. people are damaging the environmentC. there are more poor people than beforeD. people spend much money in saving the planet13.What do we know about the small-living movement？A. It aimed to handle the economic crisis.B. It was started by people without houses.C. It was well received by house designers.D. It did not become quite popular until 2008.14.What is the main attraction of TinyDwelling homes？A. They are affordable.B. They provide storage space.C. They have upstairs sleeping area.D. They are equipped with solar panels.15.Besides designing TinyDwelling homes, Lizzy also .A. urged people to buy them.B. helped people to build them.C. taught people to save money.D. offered courses to train designers.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。

We looked forward with childish 38 to golden leaves and the pleasant 39 of the pines in the crisp October air. After an hour-long subway and taxi ride, we found ourselves on a vast ring road interchange, boiling with traffic and people coming from all 40 . It seemed that all China had decided to 41 to the Fragrant Hills that day.The words “Fragrant Hills” paint a picture of natural 42 and harmony—not rows of shops and 43 vendors（小贩）screaming at you to buy their goods.After half an hour of 44 through the sea of bodies, we made it into the park. All pretenses（假装）of polite “Brutishness” were washed away as we 45 moved people aside with two hands—the only way of making progress. A couple of times, we attempted a bit of walking 46 the path, only to be stung（刺）by poison ivy. We sadly returned to the 47 . Then suddenly, just past a temple, we caught sight of a dirt track. The people 48 . We were the only ones there. There were 49 golden leaves and peaceful pine forests.

As a recent article in The Guardian newspaper noted, “There’s more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.”Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an unbelievable ice-breaker for a language learner eager to form friendships with native speakers. “I always felt that humor was a ceiling that I could never break through,” Hannah Ashley, a public relations account manager in London, who once studied Spanish in Madrid, told The Guardian, “I could never speak to people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I almost came across as quite a boring person because all I could talk ab out was facts.”In fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way. Chinese-American comedian Joe Wong found this out first-hand. He had achieved huge success in the US, but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that people didn’t think his. Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones.In Australia, meanwhile many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby,” said Melody Cao, who was once a student in Australia. “When I heard jokes I didn’t get, I just laughed along.”In the other two major English-speaking countries, the sense of humor is also different. British comedian Simon Peg believes that while British people use irony （反话）—basically, saying something they don’t mean to make a joke—every day, people in the US don’t see the point of using it so often. “British jokes tend to be more subtle and dark, while American jokes are more obvious with their meanings, a bit like Americans themselves,” he wrote in The Guardian.58．It is implied in the noted sentence in Paragraph 1 that ________A．making jokes is a possible way for one to learn better a foreign languageB．humor is always conveyed to foreigners through vocabulary and grammarC．vocabulary and grammar help you understand jokes in a foreign languageD．there tends to be something behind the words of a joke in a foreign language59．What can we guess about Hannah Ashley? ________A．She thinks that Spanish people generally do not have much of a sense of humor.B．She believes that one had better rely on facts when speaking a foreign language.C．She found that humor was a barrier to her getting along well with Spanish people.D．She had a better command of the Spanish language than of the English language.60．Joe Wong is used as an example to ________A．suggest that there are cultural differences in humorB．show that it’s hard to put jokes into another languageC．prove that local people have different taste in humorD．show that expressing ability affects the sense of humor61．From the article we can learn that ________A．jokes about sports are difficult for foreigners to understandB．Americans are generally more humorous than British peopleC．not all English native speakers can understand English jokes easilyD．British people’s dark jokes often make people uncomfortableCScientists are debating how to limit their newly-discovered power to change genetic structure（结构）. Scientists already modify the genes（基因）of farm animals and agricultural plants to make them more productive or stronger. But now they can also change genes in wild animals and plants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example, it may be possible for scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes, small flying insects, that carry the Zia virus. They might also be able to permanently remove species（物种）of plants and animals that are damaging to other species.In a report published last week, the U. S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine（NAS）said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But it warned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants and animals are released（释放）into the wild.Sixteen biologists, ethicists（伦理学家）and policymakers are on an NAS committee that is examining the issue. They say that there is value to the new technology. But, they say, there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms（生物体）from the laboratory into nature.Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases. But scientists say we must understand the possible scientific, ethical, legal and social results of such action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread through reproduction（繁殖）.Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues to reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kep t within a country’s borders. Scientists are wondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are not yet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genes could harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet. 62．What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have? ________A．Changing the Zia virus permanently.B．Getting rid of damaging species forever.C．Having the changed genes in their next generations.D．Making all the species more productive and stronger.63．As for genetically changed wild animals and plants, what are scientists worried about? ________A．They may become weaker or die out.B．They may be more productive than before.C．They may cause damage to their living habitat.D．Their genes may spread to later generations.64．Which of the following is true according to the passage? ________A．Scientists are certain what exact results gene modification leads to.B．Gene modification can benefit some farm animals and agricultural plants.C．Scientists won’t modify any genes before they make the final decision.D．Gene modification will be encouraged in more creatures in the near future.65．The article is mainly intended to ________A．appeal against research on gene controlB．show how to change genetic structureC．inform us of power and danger of gene controlD．give the reason why gene modification is necessaryDFor many years, scholars have regarded My Mortal Enemy as somewhat of an enigma. Written in only a few months during the early spring of 1925 and published in 1926, Willa Cather’s shortest novel was sandwiched in between The Professor’s House（1925）and Death Comes for the Archbishop（1927）. While the subject matter of these latte r two works can be traced to Cather’s experience in the desert Southwest, My Mortal Enemy seemingly has nothing to do with these subjects or her Nebraska roots; it appears to have come out of nowhere, puzzling those who have tried to fit this rather irregu lar work into a logical progression of Cather’s artistic development. The question of what caused Cather to write such a novel at this point in her career, for example, has still not been answered definitively. One commonly held hypothesis（假说）was first voiced by Marcus Klein, who in his 1961 introduction to the novel wrote that for Cather, “The story of Myra Hens awe must have been a personal crisis”. Klein, though, acknowledged that he could not prove his theory, “because there is available no record othe r than the novel”. Emmy Stark Sitter has recently argued that in My Mortal Enemy and Sapphire and the Slave Girl （1940）Cather exercises the autobiographical impulse（冲击）by putting details of her own life into her fiction, but, like Klein, she is unable to name which “details” of her life Cather drew on in writing My Mortal Enemy.As hinted（暗示）in the above statements by Klein and Sitter, much of the general uncertainty about the meaning of My Mortal Enemy can be traced to the absence of a persuasive theory as to who the real-life models for the novel’s characters were and what Cather’s relationship to them was. Cather herself wrote in a 1940 letter that, in James Woo dress’s paraphrase, “she had known Myra’s real-life model very well, and the portrait drawn in the story was much as she remembered her”; Cather also added that the woman had died fifteen years before MyMortal Enemy was published, and that many relatives of this model later wrote to her to say that they recognized the “real” Myra from her description in the novel. Given such hints and Cather’s liking for drawing on her experiences in Nebraska for characters, settings, and plots, it is quite understandable that scholars have thus looked to Red Cloud and Lincoln for possible sources of the people and events depicted in My Mortal Enemy.In light of the evidence presented in this article, though, I believe that Cather intended her comments about the model for Myra Hens awe to serve as red herrings（转移注意力的言语）that would protect her relationship with the couple who were the prototypes（原型）for the Hens awes, both of whom were still alive in 1925．Mark Madigan has recently confirmed how Cather in 1905 had to hold off publishing “The Profile（传略）” because of fears that the main character might recognize herself and commit suicide, and twenty years later Cather would have been well aware of how her description of the Hens awes might have affected both the real-life wife（who died in 1929）and husband（who died in 1949）if they had recognized themselves. It is my argument that the Hens awes were modeled after people Cather knew not in Nebraska but rather in New York: S. S. and Hattie McClure. Myra’s uncle, John Driscoll, was modeled after Hattie’s father, Professor Albert Hurd.Possibly most important, identifying the Hens awes as the McClure’s allows us to more conclusively identify Cather herself with Nellie Birdseye. Nellie and Cather, both Midwestern onlookers and recorders, experienced four distinct stages in their relations hips with the Hens awes and the McClure’s（especially with S. S.）My Mortal Enemy, I believe, was an extended attempt by Cather to deal with certain aspects of her own past and to move on in a world stripped of romantic illusion.66．The underlined word “enigma” in Paragraph 1 means “________”.A．adaptation B．abstract C．best-seller D．Mystery67．Cather didn’t have My Mortal Enemy published immediately ________A．so as not to annoy the relatives of the prototype for MyraB．for fear that the prototype for Myra should be badly hurtC．because she meant to polish it by adding some new materialD．because she was forbidden to do so by the real-life couple68．We can infer from the passage that ________A．Myra Hens awe is particularly true to her prototypeB．Cather had a good relationship with the real-life modelC．the writer considers My Mortal Enemy as a great workD．scholars will put an end to their argument about the novel69．In the passage, the writer ________A．restored the truth behind Myra B．presented his own hypothesisC．made a revision to Sitter’s idea D．renewed part of Klein’s fiction70．The proper title for the passage is ________A．Uncovering Cather’s personal secret B．Unlocking the scholars’ imaginationC．Unfolding the plot of My Mortal Enemy D．Unmasking Cather’s “mortal enemy”第Ⅱ卷（两部分共35分）第四部分任务型阅读（共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.注意:每个空格只填1个单词.请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上.Anything that poses a challenge or a threat to our well-being is a stress. Some stresses get you going and they are good for you - without any stress at all many say our lives would be boring and would probably feel pointless. However, when the stresses undermine both our mental and physical health they are bad. Here we shall be focusing on stress that is bad for you.Stress is the feeling we have when under pressure, while stressors are the things we respond to in our environment. Examples of stressors are noises, unpleasant people, a speeding car, or even going out on a first date. Generally （but not always）, the more stressors we experience, the more stressed we feel.When we are stressed the following happens:Blood pressure rises.Breathing becomes more rapid.Heart rate （pulse）rises.Muscles become tense.We do not sleep （heightened state of alertness）.Most of us have varying interpretations of what stress is about and what matters. Some of us focus on what happens to us, such as breaking a bone or getting a promotion, while others think more about the event itself. How you see that stressful event will be the largest single factor that impacts on your physical and mental health. Your interpretation of events and challenges in life may decide whether they are invigorating or harmful for you.There are three broad methods you can follow to treat stress.Self-help for treating stressExercise has been proven to have a beneficial effect on a person’s mental and physical state. For many people exercise is an extremely useful stress buster.Alcohol and drugs will not help you manage your stress better. Either stop consuming them completely, or cut down.If your consumption of coffee and other drinks which contain caffeine is high, cut down.Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. Make sure you have a healthy and balanced diet.Talk to you family, friends, work colleagues and your boss. Express your thoughts and worries.Stress management techniquesStress management can help you to keep away from the source of stress, change the way you view a stressful event, and lower the impact that stress might have on your body. Stress management therapy will have the objective of pursuing one or more of these approaches.Medicines答案1~5．ACBBA 6~10．CBBCA 11~15．CAABA 16~20．BCBBA21~25．CDBAD 26~30．CABBC 31~35．DBCAD 36~40．ACBBD41~45．ADADC 46~50．BBDCA 51~55．DBCCA 56~60．CDDCA61~65．CBABC 66~70．DBABD71．Caused 72．Benefit 73．Symptoms/Signs 74．higher75．Beats 76．yourself/yourselves 77．happening/occurring 78．remove79．Avoid 80.fundamentally/completely/effectively81．One possible version:Sarah shows great gratitude to her parents because they provided her with support in her career. She holds the view that it was her parents’ support that made her succeed.There is no doubt that parents’ support plays an important part in our daily life. They spare no effort to make us live a better life and their support gives us the courage to face all the difficulties in our life and studies.When I was in primary school, I was quite shy and had great difficulty communicating with others. Therefore, I often felt lonely at school. When my parents learnt about this, they tried their best to encourage me to talk to my classmates and teachers. It was with their help that I eventually overcame my shyness and built up confidence.Now, I owe all my achievements to my parents, whose support I will always treasure in my heart.(150词)解析21．考点:考查冠词【名师点睛】对于冠词的考查,几乎每次考试都会考查,考查的形式也多样,一般以选择题为主,而在做此类题时要注意:首先注意审清题意是否要使用,其次判断单复数.22．【解析】试题分析:考查固定短语.根据后文的Fantastic!可知此处句意:迈克,结果与我们先前的研究相一致.Be consistent with 与.....相一致,故选D项.考点:考查固定短语【名师点睛】固定短语的考查需要考生的长期积累,注意把握积累的方向,在考试时能够准确无误的应用. 23．考点:考查固定短语24．【解析】试题分析:考查名词.句意:我不认为你意识到情况的严重性,否则你不会感到很放松.gravity 重要性,严重性,故选A项.考点:考查名词25．【解析】试题分析:考查固定短语.句意:即将举行的音乐会将致敬世界著名的音乐家,音乐会上会亲自演奏最爱的音乐.in salute to在致敬,故选D项.考点:考查固定短语26．【解析】试题分析:考查宾语从句.句意:在国外旅行时,你应该记住你应该怎样做.故选C项.考点:考查宾语从句【名师点睛】置于动词、介词等词性后面起宾语作用的从句叫宾语从句.宾语从句的语序必须是陈述语序.谓语动词、介词、动词不定式,v.-ing形式后面都能带宾语从句.有些形容词（afraid, sure, glad等）之后也可以带宾语从句.宾语从句的语序是陈述句语序即:连接代词/副词+主语+谓语+其他成分.27．考点:考查固定短语28．【解析】试题分析:考查固定短语.句意:这些年轻人不适合在办公室里这么简单的工作,因为他们在大自然中是具有冒险精神和有创造力的.in that因为故选B项.考点:考查固定短语29．【解析】试题分析:考查被动语态.句意:你为什么在这里?你应该在实验室里做实验.（是别人让他在实验室做实验）故选B项.考点:考查被动语态【名师点睛】被动语态由“助动词be＋及物动词的过去分词”构成.人称、数和时态的变化是通过be的变化表现出来的.把主动语态的宾语变为被动语态的主语. 把谓语变成被动结构(be＋过去分词),根据被动语态句子里的主语的人称和数,以及原来主动语态句子中动词的时态来决定be的形式.把主动语态中的主语放在介词by之后作宾语,将主格改为宾格.30．考点:考查固定用法31．【解析】试题分析:考查形容词.句意:不要指望他向经理投诉.他真是胆小.在此处yellow是指胆怯的;故选D项.考点:考查形容词32．【解析】试题分析:考查固定短语.句意:我想出去吃饭,但另一方面,我应该设法省钱.on the other hand 另一方面,其余不符合题意:on the contrary相反; for one thing为了一件事情;in the end最后;故选B项.考点:考查固定短语33．考点:考查现在完成进行时【名师点睛】现在完成进行时表示现在以前这一段时间里一直在进行的动作,这动作可能仍在进行,也可能已停止.现在完成时通常只陈述事实,而现在完成进行时还可表示一种感情色彩.构成:ｈａｖｅ＋ｂｅｅｎ＋ｄｏｉｎｇ.34．【解析】试题分析:考查宾语从句.句意:在生活中没有人能成功.换句话说,你可能会失败,在别人成功之处失败,故选A项.考点:考查宾语从句35．考点:考查固定短语41．A考查动词.A．come来,B．adapt接受,C．contribute贡献,D．stick粘贴;句意:似乎所有的中国人都决定在那一日来香山.故选A．42．D考查名词.A．phenomena现象,B．forces力量,C．state陈述,D．beauty漂亮;此处指的是自然美景与和谐的画.故选D．43．A考查形容词.根据下文“screaming at you to buy their goods.”可知,摊贩很嘈杂.noisy嘈杂的.故选A．44．D考查动词.根据下文“we made into the park.”可知,在人海中挣扎了半小时.struggle努力,挣扎.故选D．45．C考查副词.A．angrily愤怒的,B．arbitrarily武断的,C．physically物理的,身体上的,D．unconsciously无意识的;句意:当我们用双手将人群身体推开的时候,我们假装的英国式的礼貌都不见了.故选C．46．B考查介词.根据下文“only to be stung by poison ivy.”可知,作者想离开道路.Walk off离开正途.故选B．47．B考查名词.根据上文“only to be stung by poison ivy.”可知,我们难过地回到人群中.crowd人群.故选B．48．D考查动词.根据下文“We were the only ones there.”可知,人们都消失了.disappeared消失.故选D．49．C考查句意理解.句意:这里有我们金色的树叶和宁静的松树林.故选C．考点:考查故事类文章阅读【名师点睛】故事类文章是高考选材之一、这类文章常通过叙述突出人物性格特征或讲述个人经历与感悟,以及逸闻趣事.文章的要素有时间、地点、人物、事件等.有些是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的,在叙述的过程中有详有略;有些是按时间的顺序叙述的,有顺叙、倒叙等.高考选用的此类文章常常为幽默类或情感类故事,其目的或阐明某种观点,或抨击某种陋习,或赞扬某种品德,所以要关注作者表达的个人感悟,提出的个人意见,或故事中出其不意的变化,而这些往往体现文章中心或写作意图,属于必考点.解这类完形填空时要注意:1．精读第一句它是了解全文大意的基石.完形填空文章的第一句话通常是没有空白的完整句子,而且第一句往往是文章的主题句(Topic Sentence),或是含有主题词的句子,考生可以根据它来把握文章的中心思想,为下面答题奠定基础.这里,首先我们要知道英文的主题句的特点.一个有效的主题句应该有以下两个标准:1．Topic:主题或议题.明确指示段落的内容,起到限定主题范围的作用.2．Opinion:反映作者对待主题的观点、印象、态度,起到限定段落基调的作用.知道了英文主题句的特点之后,我们在阅读完型填空文章的第一句话时,就不应该只是读懂其字面中文意思,而是要透过首句来预测文章的中心内容,为接下来做题把准方向.比如第37题:考查固定用法.根据下文“We looked forward with childish to golden leaves”可知,作者和两个老外一起去香山.gathered up使聚集.故选C．知道文章大意是要去香山此处就不难选出.2．掌握几种逻辑关系词考生在做这类题目是一定要很好地把握上下文逻辑关系,掌握常见的几种表示转折、让步、条件、因果、并列等逻辑关系的词,再根据上下文语境判断出最佳答案.比如第51题:考查句意理解.根据前后文的关系可知此处为转折关系.故选D．3．准确把握逻辑关系。
