It is the largestnon-royal building in England and is now listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.Winston ChurchillIn 1874, the palace was the birthplace of the duke's most famous descendant.

A total of 9 bullets was found, and the various tests and analysis have confirmed that they were indeed fired at the animal in the 19th Century.Nine of the wounds on the animal are believed to have been caused by Enfield Pattern 1853 muskets. These old injuries were concentrated around the animals tail and hind legs, suggesting that the alligator could have possibly been used as a target for shooting practice by Confederate troops.The huge animal also bore five other bullet wounds from three different calibers (口径）of hunting guns, as well as many dents and scars, which shows that it survived many firearm injuries in the past. It did not however,survive the six 50-caliber bullets fired at him by the group of amateur hunters from Jackson, who were finally able to take it down.The bullets were confirmed as true musket from between 1850 and 1870. This incredible animal brings a whole new view on this large animal native to the southeastern United States. American alligators have been known for years to live well over 50 years and were thought capable of possibly living as long as 70 or 80 years, but this one was estimated to have been 185 years old at the time of its death.Others like turtles, have been known, to have lifespans of over 150 years, but it is the first of crocodile of such an old age ever found. It is also one of the biggest alligators ever killed in the United States. The heaviest ever recorded, weighing in at an unbelievable 1,011.5 lbs, was pulled out of a river in Alabama in August of this yea.25. Which of the following facts about the nine wounds is amazing ?A. They didn’t cause death to the alligator.B. They were concentrated around the animals’ tail and hind legsC. They left many dents and scars on the alligator.D. They were left by musket from the Civil War era.26. What can be learned about American alligators?A. They have a lifespan of over 150 years.B. They can live as long as 70 or 80 years.C. They weigh as much as 910 pounds on average.D. They are the biggest alligators of all27. What can be inferred from the passage ?A. People’s understanding of American alligators may be changedB. Rivers in Alabama must be full of such huge alligatorsC. American alligators are in danger of dying out.D. The six 50-caliber bullet is the most powerful one.CTwo sculptures of life-size lions, each weighing about 5 tons in ancient times, have been discovered in what is now Turkey. The discovery of the massive lions, along with other pieces such as a large stone basin about 7 feet in diameter, left the archaeologists with a mystery ——what were they intended for?A search of the surrounding area revealed no evidence of a Hittite settlement dating back to the time of the statues. Also, the steep size of the sculptures meant that the sculptors likely did not intend to move them very far.Summers assumes that, rather than being meant for a palace or a great city, the lions were being created for a monument to mark something else- water“I think it's highly likely that that monument was going to be associated with one of the very abundant springs that are quite close,”he said in the interview, ”There are good parallels (平行线) for association of Hittite sculptural traditions with water sources”Indeed one well-known monument site, known as Eflatun Pnar, holds a sacred pool that "is fed by a spring beneath the pool itself,” write Yiit Erbil and Alice Mouton in an article that was published in the most recent edition of the Journal of Near Eastern Studies. The two researchers were writing about water religions in ancient Anatolia (Turkey)."According to the Hittite cuneiform(楔形文字)texts, water was seen as an effective purifying element,” Erbil and Mouton write, "used in the form of cleaning or even full baths during ritual performances, its cleaning power is self-evident."To the Hittites the natural world, springs included, was a place of great religious importance, one worthy of monuments with giant lions. "These things (water sources) were sacred, just as their mountains were sacred,”Summers said.28. According to the text ,how did the two life-size lions impress the archaeologists?A. Very massiveB. Well-constructedC. UnbelievableD. Mysterious29. According to Summers' assumption, why were the lions carved ?A. They were intended to be moved far away,B. They were used as a monument in honor of their ancestor.C. They were created as a monument to mark water.D. They were built to mark their territory.30. What can be inferred from the text ?A. Water was highly valued by the the Hittites.B. There was a serious shortage of water in ancient AnatoliaC. Lions were of great religious importanceD. The Hittites used to fight over water resources.31. What would be the best title of the text ?A. The Hittite cuneiformB. What were the lions intended for?C.A confusing archaeological findD. Digging up lionsDThe term “to extend an olive branch” means to make an offer of peace or reconciliation(和好). This term has Biblical origins, coming from the section of the Old Testament that deals with the flood; the sign that the flood is over is an olive branch brought back to the ark(方舟) by a dove. Olive branches were also symbols of peace in Ancient Greece and Rome, and they continue to be used in various works of art that are meant to suggest peace.Some people have suggested that the olive was a very deliberate and well-considered choice as ametaphor(比喻）for peace, because olive trees famously take years to mature. War is typically very, hard on the trees because people cannot take the time to nurture them and plant new ones. Therefore, the offer of an olive branch would suggest that someone is tired of war, whether it be an actual war or a falling out between friends.In Ancient Greek and Roman times, people would offer actual olive branches. In Rome, for example, defeated armies traditionally carried olive branches to indicate that they were giving in, and the Greeks used them into weddings and other ceremonies. In the modem era, the branch is usually metaphorical, rather than actual, not least because the plants can be a bit difficult to obtain.Many people agree that peace negotiations (谈判）at all levels of society are a good idea. Between nations, obviously, it is important to extend an. olive branch to ensure mutual safety and to help the world run more smoothly. This act can also be important on a personal level, as resolving conflict and learning to get along with others is viewed as an important life skill in many cultures.At some point m their lives, many people will be advised to extend an olive branch to settle a dispute or resolve an issue. Some people believe that it takes an immense amount of courage to take this action, as it often comes with an admission of wrongdoing and regret.32. According to the Bible,___________A. an olive branch suggests flood is coming.B. the ark is made of olive tree wood.C. an olive branch means flood is overD. a dove loves to settle on the olive branch.33. The olive is considered a good choice as a metaphor for peace for the following reasons EXCEPT .A. olive trees famously take years to matureB. olive branches make people tired of warC. war is typically very hard on the treesD. people cannot take the time to nurture them while at war34. Why are actual olive branches seldom used in modem times ?A. Olive trees are being protected now.B. Olive tress are planted only in certain countries.C. Olive tress can be far to seek.D. There is no need to use real olive branches.35. It can be learned from the text that to extend an olive branch________A. is not important on a personal levelB. is only important between nations.C. takes a lot of courage.D. is an important life skill m many cultures.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，选项中有两项多余选项。

Fortunately, Europe has more to offer than lots of old churches and ancient history. You can enjoy some fun with your kids in the sun at some of the famous beaches of the continent.Mykonos, GreeceThe closer you get to the equator, the longer the beach season is, and Greece is wonderful for that. You can enjoy beautiful green water, public chairs and lovely umbrellas at the beaches in Mykonos. Dubrovnik, CroatiaThere's nothing more attractive than the beautiful beaches bordering Dubrovnik, Croatia's most beautiful city. It's surrounded by stone walls like a castle.

And if you want to add interest to your experience, try snorkeling（徒手潜水）.Nice, FranceLined with palm trees and first﹣class hotels, the city of Nice, located on the French Riviera, offers a whole coastline of Mediterranean beaches. Because they're in the heart of the city, these beaches attract a large crowd. So if you're looking for something more private, you'll have to travel a few miles outside of the city center.Ribadeo, SpainAt low tide, Playa de las Catedrales in Ribadeo, Spain is the perfect beach to take in the natural wonders without urban amusements like restaurants, bars or huge crowds.

He said he liked my socks. "Want to see mine？" he asked, lifting his leg. He was barefoot. He said he had been meaning to buy a pair but he hadn't got around to it. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach.The next day, after work, I stopped at Ross and filled up a cart with socks. I stuffed my trunk with them. The next morning, I set my alarm for 5 a.m. and drove over to Santa Monica's Palisades Park, which is a common destination for homeless people.I took one of the bags from my trunk. It was still dark out. I headed for a group of three men around a tree, probably using it as a windbreaker. Two were asleep under heavy blankets, and the third was digging through his collection. As I walked toward him, he watched me, perhaps questioning my motives. "I thought you guys might need some fresh new socks. " I said, handing him a pair. He looked confused at first but took them and said, "thank you." I gave him two more pairs for his friends.I moved on. An hour later, I had given out all the socks.Most people were sleeping, and I felt like Santa. I knew that when they woke up they would find a very meaning present.That was nine years ago. Every week I'll hand out as many socks as I can. If I'm on vacation or on a business trip for more than a week, I bring a bag of socks with me and hand them out to the homeless on the streets in other states and countries.It's extremely satisfying to operate "under the radar" to help make some people's lives a little bit easier. Part of me hopes to see Albert out there one of these days, but even if I don't I like to think one of the pairs will find him.(1) What caused the author to hand out socks to the homeless？A. Albert's desire to get free socks.B. The approach of Christmas Day.C. His hard work at a homeless shelter.D. The conversation between him and Albert.(2) Which is true about the author according to the passage？A. He believed it felt good to help the homeless．B. He went to Rose to buy a pair of socks for Albert．C. He handed out socks to the homeless as Christmas gifts．D. He was often questioned about why he was giving out socks．(3) What could be the best title for the passageA. Santa Clause Brings Christmas GiftsB. Kindness Is Rewarded With KindnessC. Every Sock Helps Make Somebody's DayD. Socks Are Passed on From Hand to Hand3、【来源】 2017年河南郑州高三一模第8~11题8分Famous people have a lot of influence on cultural trends, like it or not. However, one trend that seems harmless but is actually damaging, is the pressure on stars to have their photos taken with exotic （奇异的） animals. Famous people who are asked to have photos taken with wild animals for a magazine spread or who do so while on vacation always have good intentions and even love animals. This makes them easytargets for the often greedy amusement parks and illegal animals centers. Kind people are naturally drawn to places that claim（声称）to offer exotic animals safety and are eager to see elephants paint, to bug baby bears or to swim with dolphins. However, it turns out that many of these business persons are breeders（饲养动物者）, dealers or exhibitors that are using famous people's goodwill for their own purposes.Many business persons continually keep the animals just so they'll have a constant supply of young animals in order to charge money for photos. Of course, the babies are lovely but they grow fast, and within a few weeks they are too big to handle. They'll spend rest of their lives. something decades, in small and empty cages or even be killed.In some Asian countries, elephants are kept in camps. A few camps are working to help elephants in trouble, but the vast majority are not, and training methods are barbaric（野蛮的）and cruel. As soon as the cameras are gone after someone like Prince William has a photo taken with an elephant, the chains go back on.Fans, tell the stars: stay away from exotic animals photos, and the animals will be grateful.(1) What does the author intend to do with this passageA. To show how stars influence cultural trendsB. To urge governments to look into illegal animals centersC. To remind people to think about how to treat wild animals kindlyD. To persuade stars not to have photos taken with exotic animals(2) According to the passage we can learn that many business persons.A. make a great effort to provide safety for animalsB. aim to offer good chances for people to get close to animalsC. take advantage of star's good intentions to make profitsD. expect there to be little competition as exotic animals are rare(3) Why do many business persons continually keep young animals？A. They expect to exchange them for many at the marketB. They intend to increase the number of endangered animalsC. They want to make sure of having enough of them for photosD. They can rescue more animals and get them out of trouble(4) What can be inferred from the passage？A. Stars can have photos taken with exotic animals free of chargeB. Many people follow stars and have photos taken with exotic animalsC. Media exposure has failed to have any effect on famous peopleD. Stars feel sympathetic and concerned about mistreated animals4、【来源】 2017年河南郑州高三一模第12~15题8分It seems that technology could be changing the places where we live. A project conducted by Johann Sinu, a senior lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire's School of Engineering and Technology, has built on the university's InterHome project aimed to create a home that TAL#NBSP supervises people living at home who are weak or elderly."We've developed a wristband type of device（装置）, "said Johann Siau, "which allows us to monitor the condition of an elderly person, or whoever is wearing the device. It allows us to collect data of a person to see if the person has fallen or is away from where they are supposed to be. It connects an elderly person with an assisted living type of device with the InterHome. " The assisted living project is part of the university's wider InterHome project, which is the development of a smart house. The house stores the usage patterns of the person living there and can adapt to make it use as little energy as possible. Connecting the two together and building the service element（元素）allow us to introduce the assisted-living idea to care for the elderly. It's very important that these technologies are there to help and support rather than to replace any of the existing services.The InterHome is not just a prototype or a vehicle for research, it's a study tool to help students from different scientific backgrounds learn about and develop technology. The InterHome combines the latest broadband technology, mobile data and communication. Researchers and students make sure all the technology works together. Students s get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. It requires a variety of skills from students—electronic engineers, computer students, design students and so on. "The present plan we are working on is a smart home proj ct inWatford with some commercial companies, " said Johann Siau. "We are looking at how a smarter home can provide extra value services. "(1) The underlined word "supervises" in the paragraph 1 is probably means"".A. gives support toB. watches overC. directsD. comforts(2) What is the InterHome project intended to doA. Call on the students to care for old peopleB. Provide better care and services for the elderlyC. Carry out all the work the existing services doD. Develop houses that mainly aim to save energy(3) What can we learn about the Interhome project from the articleA. It is a large collection of many existing technologiesB. It is just a platform to help students to do research workC. It is a smart home project developed by different universitiesD. It allows students to put into use and try out what they're learned(4) What is the main purpose of the author in writing this articleA. To build up a new platform for students to develop new technologyB. To describe a new project that aims to develop a smart home for the elderlyC.

In one study, researchers found that small talk made up only 10% of their conversation related withhappiness.1Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding. Late last year, Princeton researchers reported that small talk keeps closeness with loved ones, and isn't merely the stuff of awkward exchanges with strangers.Still, chatting with strangers could brighten your morning.In a series of experiments, psychologists gave Chicago passengers different directions about whether to talk with fellow passengers—something they typically avoided.2None of the chatters reported being rejected.Small talk can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. People who smiled at, made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas（服务员）reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction（交易）.3One report found that when volunteers broke the silence to chat with gallery goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected to the exhibit than those who were not approached.4none study, people who were rated"less curious"by researchers had getting a conversation rolling on their own, and had greater luck building closeness with others when they were supplied with questions that encouraged personal disclosure （透露）. But people who were considered "curious" needed no help when transforming conversations about ordinary things into personal exchanges.5A. The same is true of gallery goers.B. But don't play down small talk just yet.C. They found that small talk is related with happiness.D. Those told to chat with others reported a more pleasant journey.E. Making small talk is an important skill for all the social situations.F. A“curious mindset", the author concl uded, can lead to "positive social interactions".G.

It was built between 1705 and 1722 as a reward of the British government to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, for defeating King Louis XIV’s army at Blenheim, a small Bavarian village on the Danube River.The palace was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, which displayed strength and arm glory. It is the largest non-royal building in England and is now listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.Winston ChurchillIn 1874, the palace was the birthplace of the duke's most famous descendant. Winston Churchill, who was to become the UK's Prime Minister（some would say Britain's greatest 20th-century politician）and Nobel Prize winner for literature. It is also in Blenheim that Winston got married to Clementine Hozier in 1908．A lasting exhibition is devoted to the man’s life, work and writings. Winston and his wife are buried in Bladon Church within the palace.Opening Hours & AdmissionBlenheim is still the home of the 11th Duke of Marlborough and is therefore not open all year round（although the park is）. The palace opens its doors to visitors from 12 February to 11 December. Entry to the palace, park and gardens cost £11.50 during the low season and £13 during the peak season（Easter weekend and from 28 May to 11 September）, or £6/£8 for the park and gardens only.The park is open all-year round from 9am to 4:45pm（last entry）. Admission is £2.50 for adults and £1.50 for children.Note that numerous discounts exist for seniors, students, children and groups. Please refer to the official website for more details.21．What can be learned, about Blenheim Palace? ________A．It is the Europe’s largest and greatest palaces.B．It is the largest royal building in England.C．It is no w one of the world’s heritage sites.D．It was built in honor of Prime Minister Winston Churchill22．What does the underlined word in the text mean? ________A．A house keeper.B．A child or a child’s child.C．A family doctorD．A grand parent23．Why can not people visit Blenheim Palace all the year round? ________A．They are too busy to afford the time.B．Repairs are badly needed for the palace.C．Some seasons are not convenient for visitors.D．The 11th Duke of Marlborough still lives there.24．If a couple and their five-year-old daughter visits the park, how much need they pay? ________A．￡6.5.B．￡7.5.C．￡l1.5.D．￡13.BA group of Mississippi hunters who shot and killed an alligator（短吻鳄）weighting 910 pounds on Sunday, were amazed when they discovered that the animal already bore injuries caused by musket（步枪）from the Civil War era. A total of 9 bullets was found, and the various tests and analysis have confirmed that they were indeed fired at the animal in the 19th Century.Nine of the wounds on the animal are believed to have been caused by Enfield Pattern 1853 muskets. These old injuries were concentrated around the animals tail and hind legs, suggesting that the alligator could have possibly been used as a target for shooting practice by Confederate troops.The huge animal also bore five other bullet wounds from three different calibers（口径）of hunting guns, as well as many dents and scars, which shows that it survived many firearm injuries in the past. It did not however, survive the six 50-caliber bullets fired at him by the group of amateur hunters from Jackson, who were finally able to take it down.The bullets were confirmed as true musket from between 1850 and 1870. This incredible animal brings a whole new view on this large animal native to the southeastern United States. American alligators have been known for years to live well over 50 years and were thought capable of possibly living as long as 70 or 80 years, but this one was estimated to have been 185years old at the time of its death.Others like turtles, have been known, to have lifespans of over 150 years, but it is the first of crocodile of such an old age ever found. It is also one of the biggest alligators ever killed in the United States. The heaviest ever recorded, weighing in at an unbelievable 1,011．5lbs, was pulled out of a river in Alabama in August of this year. 25．Which of the following facts about the nine wounds is amazing? ________A．They didn’t cause death to the alligator.B．They were concentrated around the animals’ tail and hind leg s.C．They left many dents and scars on the alligator.D．They were left by musket from the Civil War era.26．What can be learned about American alligators? ________A．They have a lifespan of over 150 years.B．They can live as long as 70 or 80 years.C．They weigh as much as 910pounds on average.D．They are the biggest alligators of all.27．What can be inferred from the passage? ________A．People’s understanding of American alligators may be changed.B．Rivers in Alabama must be full of such huge alligators.C．American alligators are in danger of dying out.D．The six 50-caliber bullet is the most powerful one.CTwo sculptures of life-size lions, each weighing about 5 tons in ancient times, have been discovered in what is now Turkey. The discovery of the massive lions, along with other pieces such as a large stone basin about 7 feet in diameter, left the archaeologists with a mystery —what were they intended for?A search of the surrounding area revealed no evidence of a Hittite settlement dating back to the time of the statues. Also, the steep size of the sculptures meant that the sculptors likely did not intend to move them very far.Summers assumes that, rather than being meant for a palace or a great city, the lions were being created for a monument to mark something else- water“I think it's highly likely that that monument was going to be associated with one of the very abundant springs that are quite close.” he said in the interview. “There are good parallels（平行线）for association of Hittite sculptural tradi tions with water sources”Indeed one well-known monument site, known as Eflatun Pnar, holds a sacred pool that "is fed by a spring beneath the pool itself,” write Yiit Erbil and Alice Mouton in an article that was published in the most recent edition of the Journal of Near Eastern Studies. The two researchers were writing about water religions in ancient Anatolia（Turkey）.“According to the Hittite cuneiform（楔形文字）texts, water was seen as an effective purifying element,” Erbil and Mouton write, “used in the f orm of cleaning or even full baths during ritual performances, its cleaning power is self-evident.”To the Hittites the natural world, springs included, was a place of great religious importance, one worthy of monuments with giant lions. “These things（water sources）were sacred, just as their mountains were sacred,” Summers said.28．According to the text, how did the two life-size lions impress the archaeologists? ________A．Very massive.B．Well-constructed.C．Unbelievable.D．Mysterious.29．According to Summ ers’ assumption, why were the lions carved? ________A．They were intended to be moved far away.B．They were used as a monument in honor of their ancestor.C．They were created as a monument to mark water.D．They were built to mark their territory.30．What can be inferred from the text? ________A．Water was highly valued by the Hittites.B．There was a serious shortage of water in ancient Anatolia.C．Lions were of great religious importance.D．The Hittites used to fight over water resources.31．What would be the best title of the text? ________A．The Hittite cuneiform.B．What were the lions intended for?C．A confusing archaeological find.D．Digging up lions.DThe term “to extend an olive branch” means to make an offer of peace or reconciliation（和好）. This term has Biblical origins, coming from the section of the Old Testament that deals with the flood; the sign that the flood is over is an olive branch brought back to the ark（方舟）by a dove. Olive branches were also symbols of peace in Ancient Greece and Rome, and they continue to be used in various works of art that are meant to suggest peace.Some people have suggested that the olive was a very deliberate and well-considered choice as a metaphor（比喻）for peace, because olive trees famously take years to mature. War is typically very, hard on the trees because people cannot take the time to nurture them and plant new ones. Therefore, the offer of an olive branch would suggest that someone is tired of war, whether it be an actual war or a falling out between friends.In Ancient Greek and Roman times, people would offer actual olive branches. In Rome, for example, defeated armies traditionally carried olive branches to indicate that they were giving in, and the Greeks used them into weddings and other ceremonies. In the modem era, the branch is usually metaphorical, rather than actual, not least because the plants can be a bit difficult to obtain.Many people agree that peace negotiations（谈判）at all levels of society are a good idea. Between nations, obviously, it is important to extend an olive branch to ensure mutual safety and to help the world run more smoothly. This act can also be important on a personal level, as resolving conflict and learning to get along with others is viewed as an important life skill in many cultures.At some point m their lives, many people will be advised to extend an olive branch to settle a dispute orresolve an issue. Some people believe that it takes an immense amount of courage to take this action, as it often comes with an admission of wrongdoing and regret.32．According to the Bible, ________A．an olive branch suggests flood is coming.B．the ark is made of olive tree wood.C．an olive branch means flood is over.D．a dove loves to settle on the olive branch.33．The olive is considered a good choice as a metaphor for peace for the following reasons EXCEPT ________ A．olive trees famously take years to mature.B．olive branches make people tired of war.C．war is typically very hard on the trees.D．people cannot take the time to nurture them while at war.34．Why are actual olive branches seldom used in modem times? ________A．Olive trees are being protected now.B．Olive tress are planted only in certain countries.C．Olive tress can be far to seek.D．There is no need to use real olive branches.35．It can be learned from the text that to extend an olive branch ________A．is not important on a personal level.B．is only important between nations.C．takes a lot of courage.D．is an important life skill m many cultures.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,选项中有两项多余选项.What is a fair wage? 36 These are some of the questions the United Nations International Labour Organization(ILO) has recently investigated.With a global population of over seven billion, is it actually possible to measure an average amount? 37 Using the total wage bill from over seventy countries, they have multiplied the amounts by the number of earners in each country. The economists then tallied up the results and divided them by the total number across the world the result was a world average wage equivalent to $1,490 a month. 38This figure might seem very high because they calculated the amount using purchasing power parity dollars, which takes into account the fact that it is cheaper to live in some countries than others. 39 Calculating an average sum like this might not be a completely fair representation, but these figures do help us to understand how the world is developing, both economically, in the quality of life people are experiencing and their standard of living.But the result shows that the average wage is still relatively low and there remains a huge difference in levelsof affluence around the world. 40 Is this fair? For many, pay equality still seems very far out of reach. A．The ILO has now tried to work out the sums.B．The ILO used statistics from over 70 different countriesC．Why aren't more people in the world offered pay equality?D．That is approximately $75a day for a 20-day working month.E．Some people live on just two dollars a day, while others are earning more than a million dollars a year. F．When someone works for themselves, what are they called?G．The data also did not include the huge number of people who appear in poverty statistics or who are self-employed.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节,满分45分）45．A．calls B．trips C．surveys D．contributions 46．A．cops B．doctors C．thieves D．officials 47．A．normally B．eventually C．actually D．finally 48．A．made up B．took up C．put up D．messed up 49．A．still B．even C．quite D．only 50．A．message B．secret C．story D．process 51．A．declined B．offered C．hesitated D．approved 52．A．license B．card C．paper D．ticket 53．A．spend B．leave C．take D．get 54．A．lent B．presented C．purchased D．rented 55．A．delighted B．annoyed C．disappointed D．amused 56．A．worth B．worthy C．personal D．special 57．A．moved B．changed C．turned D．appealed 58．A．honour B．respect C．alarm D．surprise 59．A．forgot B．threw C．left D．exposed 60．A．make B．achieve C．live D．realize第Ⅱ卷第三部分英语知识运用第四部分写作（共两节,满分35分）第一节:短文改错（10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文.文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处.每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改.增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧）,并在其下面写出该加的词.删除:把多余的词用斜线（＼）划掉.修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词.注意:1．每处错误及其修改均限一词.2．只允许修改10处,多者（从第11处起）不计分.Dear Mike,How are you doing these days?Aimed at providing a platform there students can have a chance to exchange and make use of their books, the annual campus books fair will soon held in our school.

The cheat usually asks you to remit money or transfer accounts. The following are some measures which, I think, may be of some help to you in preventing telecom fraud.First, don’t believe in the cheat. Whatever they say, don’t be fooled by them. Second, keep your personal information from others especially your ID number; otherwise you will easily fall to victim. Last but not the least, remember the saying “Money doesn’t grow on tree.” and be cautious about calls or short message from strangers.To conclude, if we raise awareness of self-protection, the cheats will never get anything.英语试卷解析23．D 细节理解题.根据倒数第三段第一句Blenheim is still the home of the 11th Duke of Marlborough and is therefore not open all year round (although the park is).可知因为第11代Marlborough公爵现在仍然居住在Blenheim Palace里面,所以Blenheim Palace并不是全年都开放.故D项正确.24．A 数字计算题.根据文章倒数第二段The park is open all-year round from 9am to 4:45pm (last entry). Admission is £2．50 for adults and £1．50 for children.可知公园门票成年人£2．50,孩子£1．50.题干中2个成年人再加上一个孩子,共￡6．5．故A正确.27．A 推理判断题.根据文章第四段最后一句American alligators have been known for years to live well over 50 years and were thought capable of possibly living as long as 70 or 80 years, but this one was estimated to have been 185years old at the time of its death.可知美国短吻鳄可以活到70-80年,但这只鳄鱼却活了185年.那么人们对于美洲短吻鳄的理解要有所改变.故A项正确.31．B 标题概括题.根据文章第一段Two sculptures of life-size lions,....left the archaeologists with a mystery ——what were they intended for?可知考古学家发现了两只巨大的石狮子,但他们不知道为什么会有如此巨大的两只石狮子.文章就此话题展开叙述.AC项范围过大,不贴近文章.D项只涉及部分内容.B项与文章主题一致,且能够引起读者的兴趣.故B项正确.34．C 推理判断题.根据第三段最后一句In the modem era, the branch is usually metaphorical, rather than actual, not least because the plants can be a bit difficult to obtain.可知现代人们通常使用橄榄枝表示隐喻,并且这种树还很难找到.故C项正确.35．C 根据文章最后一段Some people believe that it takes an immense amount of courage to take this action, as it often comes with an admission of wrongdoing and regret.可知“伸出橄榄枝”经常被用来表示解决争端,但这样做需要勇气,因为人们首先要承认自己做错了事.故C项正确.37．A 据横线前句“With a global population of over seven billion, is it actually possible to measure an average amount?”提出世界人口很多,可能测试出评价工资的准确数字吗?再根据横线后句“Using the total wage bill from over seventy countries, they have multiplied the amounts by the number of earners in each country.”可知人们已经算出了这一数字.横线句应该说明哪一个组织做了这项工作,故A项“The ILO has now tried to work out the sums.”符合题意.44．D 考查上下文串联.动词stay逗留;look看;walk步行;park停车;本句是作者的回忆,他记得自己前一天就是把车停在这里.动词park与the car语义项搭配.故D项正确.45．B 考查名词辨析.短语make trips to前往...;名词survey调查;contribution贡献;作者找不到车,认为警察把他的车拖走了,于是他前往拖车的地方,并去了警察局询问是否有警察拖走他的车.故B正确.46．A 考查上下文串联.根据后句I couldn’t find it anywhere and the cops decided th at it was....可知在拖车的地方没有我的车,我的车并不是警察拖走的.而是被偷了.名词“cops”是“policeman”的另一说法.故A正确. 47．C 考查副词辨析.副词normally正常地;eventually最后;actually实际上;finally最后;到处都找不到我的车,最后警察判定实际上我的车被偷了.故C项正确.48．D 考查动词短语.短语make up化妆,编造,弥补,组成;take up占据,从事于,开始做;put up搭建,留宿;mess up 搞砸,混乱;在我处理好这一切以后,我感觉这一天真是搞砸了.D项符合上下文.49．D 考查语法结构.副词only和不定式连用表示意料之外的结果.当我去租车的时候,发现我的驾照随着我的车都不见了.故D项正确.50. C 考查常识.名词message信息,secret秘密;story故事,情况;process过程;我的驾照随着车子都被偷走了,我就把整个事情告诉租车公司的人.这属于常识情况.故C项正确.56．A 考查形容词辨析.形容词worth值得的;worthy有价值的;personal个人的,私人的;special特别的;B项后面不能直接加名词,而worth后面可以直接加名词,如be worth 50yuan.本句表示虽然这一天遇见了很多不如意的事情,但这位陌生人的善意帮助让我感觉这一切都是值得的.故A项符合句意.57．A 考查上下文串联.动词move感动;这个陌生人的善意感动了我,我决定也要给别人带来类似的意料之外的惊喜,于是我给我的同事们带了巧克力.故A项符合上下文串联.64．was walking 考查时态.本句在叙述高中某一天正在发生的事情,所以使用过去进行时.65．being seen 考查动名词.介词at的后面要接名词或动名词做宾语,且动词see和主语I构成被动关系,所以使用动名词被动语态being seen做宾语.66．but 考查连词.句意:我感觉到他从身边经过,但他一直走到我的面前.我没有想到他会走到我的面前,上下文是转折关系,所以使用but连接这两句.67．my 考查所有格.横线后面有名词nerves,说明横线处应该使用所有格my修饰nerves.5．drawing改为drawn 考查非谓语动词.动词find的宾语myself与动词draw构成被动关系,所以使用过去分词drawn作为宾语补足语.句意:我发现我自己也被这次书会吸引了.6．type改为types 考查名词单复数.形容词短语“hundreds of成千上万的”通常修饰可数名词复数名词,所以本句使用复数名词types.。

Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objectsin its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them intosimple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technologyoffers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication,and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients,so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And theother is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periodsof time.1. BCI is a technology that can ________.A. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recoverD. control a person's thoughts2. How" did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles.B. By talking to the machine.C. By moving his hand.D. By using his mind.3.Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchairB. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchairC. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchairD. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair4.The team will test with real patients to ________.A. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition5.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain InjuriesBIn the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year afterI started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with acombination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal.

Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globebecoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy resolution. It is now trying hard to made full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.16. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that____.A. it makes the world warmerB. it consumes natural resourcesC. it brings severe damage to futureD. it makes growth hard to continue17. What can we infer from Paragraph2?A. China lacks wind and solar energy.B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.18. To fully develop the low-carbon markets governments can______.A. cut public expensesB. forbid carbon emissionsC. develop public resourcesD. encourage energy conservation19. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to _______.A. develop sustainable productsB. explore new natural resourcesC. make full use of natural resourcesD. deal with the major challenge20. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new business modelB. To compare two business modelsC.To predict a change of the global marketsD. To advocate sustainable development第二部分完形填空（35*2=70）AI met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her.

She wanted to know how I thought we should 23 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 24 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 25 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 26 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 27 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.Mrs. Neidl's 28 that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it 29 !"I began to take 30 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing-----only things to be 31 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 32 create something.The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 33 in the program as "Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effortI'd put in. It was that year that I 34 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.Being on that stage-design team 35 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely.

She taught me not to 37 what people think I should do: She taught me to take chances and not be 38 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset.

But, 41 , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often 42 the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business— 43 that the customer remains a customer.44 to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing 45 , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lostopportunities and calculate the 46 implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big 47 in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to 48 increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and 49 never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in 50 profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).The logic behind cultivating customer 51 is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to 52 them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits. 53 customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price 54 , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it 55 for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.41.

Anne Bowman, a writer, (62)________ recently made a study, asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in the order of attractiveness. And then the students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote(63)________them. The results showed that attractive males(64)________(complete) defeated unattractive men, but the women(65)________ (rank) most attractive by the students unchangeably received the fewest votes.B“Put yourself in someone else's shoes.” is (66)________idiom that means if you imagine yourself to be in another person's position, good or bad, you may understand how they feel, good or bad, or why they havedone (67)________ they've done.This idiom comes from the fact (68)________ a pair of perfectly fitting shoes for someone may not fit another person as perfectly.

Because he did not want to pay, so he hid in the toilet. But a passenger saw her. She tapped the person in front of her on the shoulder and say, “There’s a bum in toilet. Tell the bus driver.” The message was passing on from person to person. But somewhere along the way, it was changed. The bus driver told that there was a bomb in the toilet. He immediate stopped the bus and telephoned the police. When the police came, they told the passengers to get off the bus or stay far away. Then they closed the highway. As a result, a traffic jam of 15 mile long was soon caused. In the help of a dog, the police searched for two hours. Of course they found no tomb.BOne day Rosa wrote to her friend, who was a doctor, invite him to have dinner with her families.
