解析：题干中sold的动作发生在过去，had的动作发生在sold之前，也就是“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。
【技巧点拨】熟记过去完成时的用法，别无他法。
【典型总结】过去完成时的基本用法归纳过去完成时表示一个动作或状态在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成或结束，即“过去的过去”；也可以指过去的动作延续到过去的某个时刻。
这里的过去时间可以用某个时间状语表示，也可以通过上下文表示。
1）表示一个动作或状态在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成或结束，也有可能早已结束或完成。
例如：When he was in Beijing, he visited places where he had played as a child. 他在北京的时候游览了他儿时曾玩过的地方。
2）表示一个过去的动作先于另一过去的动作的用法，这种情况多见于宾语从句。
例如：He remembered that he had left the key at home. 他记得他把钥匙落家了。

AHumans aren’t the only ones getting a buzz强烈的情感from coffee. Caffeine can improve memory among honeybees and lead to better pollination (授粉). According to a recent study published in the journal Science.The study was conducted by a team of researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom. They found that the nectar (花蜜) of some flowers, such as those from grapefruit and lemon plants, as well as certain coffee flowers, contains low dose s剂量of caffeine. To get bees to feed on these flowers, the team trained the insects to associate food with the smell of the flowers. They also trained another group of bees to feed on nectar from flowers that were sweetened with a sugar, but did not contain caffeine. After 24 hours, the bees trained on caffeinated flowers returned to these plants three times as often as those trained on the sweetened flowers returned to the uncaffeinated plants.Professor Geraldine Wright led the researchers. “Remembering floral traits (花部特征) is difficult for bees to perform at a fast pace as they fly from flower to flower and we found that caffeine helps the bee remember where the flowers are,” Wright said in a statement.Improved memory led to the better pollination. That’s because once bees sip the caffeine nectar, they continue to look for more coffee plants to pollinate. This also suggests that caffeine plays a role in improving the bees’ ability to search for food.Researchers found that caffeine’s effect on the bee brain is similar to its effect on mammals. “The change is similar to that produced by caffeine in neurons (神经元) associated with learning and memory in the rat brain,” Wright said.Bee populations have declining since 2007. The dramatic drop in the insects’ numbers has serious effects for ecosystems and the farming industry. Bees are needed in the reproduction of crops and spreading wild flower species. Understanding what keeps bees buzzing could help to make sure that the insects are able to remember and pollinate their favorite flowers.21. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A. Caffeine has no effect on the rat brain.B. Bee population has been increasing.C. The nectar of lemon plants contains caffeine.D. Bees dislike nectar from sweetened flowers.22. After reading the passage, John, who works in the farming industry, will probably feel ________.A. annoyedB. angryC. nervousD. excited23. Which of the following relationship is correct according to the passage?A. improved memory — caffeine nectar — better pollinationB. caffeine nectar — improved memory — better pollinationC. improved memory — better pollination — caffeine nectarD. caffeine nectar — better pollination — improved memory24. What section of a newspaper may this passage be taken from?A. ScienceB. EducationC. CultureD. Sports【答案】【知识点】C3新闻报道类【文章综述】本文主要讲述了蜜蜂对农业生产的新贡献，增加农产品的产量，但养蜂人却日益减少。

For t he blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper fo rm of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that be st fits each blank.(A)Learning inWe can always hear voices comparing the educational systems in China and the . It’s true that there exist a lot of differences, b ut this cannot be an excuse (25) ______ having a passive attitud e toward studying in .When I came back from the US last year and continued my s enior middle school education in , I sensed many great differen ces. I thought that school in was too hard, and that we didn’t do enough fun exercise except running around playgrounds together. I was not patient enough and I couldn’t help but (26)______ (cry) to my mom. In short, I (27) ______ not face the changes an d the pressure.After a long talk with my mother, I realized that though high s chool life in is (28) ______ (hard), it can give us more. The pres sure helps us learn the true meaning of competition before we s tep into society, which gives us a (29) ______ (determine) heart and teaches us to step forward (30) ______ ______ ______ the r eality is. It’s like climbing a mountain, which might make you diz zy and nervous, but the top is always there waiting for you as lo ng as you are strong enough (31) ______ (take) one more step. Meanwhile, an easy life is not always good for us. Even som e of my American friends call (32)______ “lazy Americans”, bec ause the school in the is not always easy. When they go to coll ege, they also need to work very hard. We complain mainly bec ause we can’t see the whole picture.Sometimes we just simply listen to others’ words without thin king about (33) ______t hey’re true. We can’t always complain. I nstead, we all need to understand that success takes efforts an d tears.(B)Science – A way of ThinkingMany scientists, from their earlier work, have enough knowledge to make good guess as to the solution to a problem which (34 ) ______(work) on. In making new discoveries, they may use the trial-and-error method, they may draw on past experiences, or they may try to find out (35) ______others have discovered. They may de sign new investigations and new ways of testing their results. S cientists have to train themselves to use their brains efficiently. For example, when Thomas A. Edison was trying to make an el ectric lamp, he needed the only substance inside the bulb (36) ______would glow brightly without burning up quickly. He tried more than one thousand times (37) ______he found the exact s ubstance he could use. After he had experimented for a long ti me, someone asked Mr. Edison whether he was discouraged at the waste of time. He replied, “I have not been wasting time. I ( 38)______ (find) one thousand materials that won’t work. Now I can look for others.”Edison’s statement is very important. Abov e all, scientists demand to know when and where they are wron g. A good question to ask in science is not “Am I right?” but “Am I wrong?”.Scientists spend many years of study (39) ______ (train) thems elves to use their brains and the tools of investigation. They als o use each other’s work. Isaac Newton, (40) who is ______ uniq ue British scientist, said he saw further than others because hestood on the shoulders of giants.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Grammar is universal and plays a vital part in every language. So the question which has puzzled many linguists is: who creat ed grammar?In order to answer the question of how complex languages are ＿41＿ formed, the researcher needs to observe how languages are started from scratch. To find out how grammar is created, som eone needs to be present at the time of a language’s creation, documenting its ＿42＿. At first, it seems that this question is impossible to answer. Amazingly, this is possible.Some of the most recent languages ＿43＿ due to the Atlantic slave trade, when slaves from a number o f different ethnicities were forced to work together under the col onizer’s＿44＿. Since they had no opportunity to learn each other’s languag es, they developed a make-shift language called a pidgin (混杂语). Pidgins are strings of words ＿45＿ from the language of the landowner. Interestingly, however, all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a g roup of children to be exposed to it at the time when they learn t heir mother tongue. Slave children did not ＿46＿ copy the strings of words uttered by their elders, they ＿47＿ their words to create a new language.Further evidence of this can be seen in studying sign languages for the deaf. Previously, all deaf people were isolated from eac h other, but in 1979 a government introduced schools for the de af. Although children were taught speech and lip reading in the classroom, in the playgrounds they began to invent their own si gn system, which was basically a pidgin. Each child used the si gns differently, and there was no ＿48＿ grammar. However, when this inventive sign system was already around, a quite different sign language was developed. Therefore it would appear that even the most widespread langu ages were partly created by children. Children appear to have i nnate (天生的) grammatical machinery in their brains, which springs to life when they are first trying to make ＿49＿ of the world around them. Their minds can serve to create ＿50＿, complex structures, even when there is no existing grammar for them to copy.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are fo ur words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank wi th the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle viewed laughter as “a bod ily exercise precious to health.” But ＿51＿ some claims to the contrary, laughing quietly probably has lit tle influence on physical fitness. Laughter does ＿52＿ short-term changes in the activity of the heart and its blood vessels, boosting heart rate and oxygen consumption. But because hard l aughter is difficult to ＿53＿, a good laugh is unlikely to have ＿54＿ benefits the way, say, walking or jogging does.＿55＿, instead of stretching muscles tightly to build them, as exerci se does, laughter apparently accomplishes the ＿56＿. Studies dating back to the 1930s indicate that laughter57＿ muscles, decreasing muscle tone for up to 45 minutes after t he noisy laugh dies down.Such bodily reaction might imaginably help moderate the effect s of psychological stress. After all, the act of laughing probably does give rise to other types of ＿58＿ feedback that improve an individual’s emotional state. ＿59＿ one classical theory of emotion, our feelings are partially root ed in physical reactions. It was argued at the end of the 19th ce ntury that humans do not cry because they are sad but they bec ome sad when the tears begin to flow.Although sadness also comes before tears, evidence suggests that emotions can flow from muscular ＿60＿. In an experiment published in 1988, social psychologist FritzStrack of the University of würzburg in Germany and his collea gues asked volunteers to ＿61＿ a pen either with their teeth – thereby creating an artificial sm ile – or with their lips, which would cause a(n) ＿62＿ expression. Those forced to exercise their smiling muscles ＿63＿ more cheerfully to funny cartoons than did those whose mou ths were contracted in a frown, ＿64＿ that expressions may influence emotions rather than just the other way around. ＿65＿, the physical act of laughter could improve mood.51. A. among B. exceptC. despiteD. like52. A. reflect B. demand C. indicateD. produce53. A. release B. maintain C. evaluateD. observe54. A. measurable B. manageableC. affordableD. renewable55. A. In turn B. In factC. In additionD. In brief56. A. opposite B. reverse C. functionD. average57. A. hardens B. weakensC. tightensD. relaxes58. A. physical B. mentalC. subconsciousD. internal59. A.

A. alerted B. contributed C. turnedD. reacted64. A. suggesting B. requiringC. mentioningD. supposing65. A. Eventually B. Consequently C. SimilarlyD. CoincidentallySection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage i s followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For e ach of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choo se the one that fits best according to the information given in th e passage you have just read.(A).Working with a group of baboons (狒狒) in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology, set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some baboons were given t he chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to s olve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter present ed them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a mod el of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task al though they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do w hat the experienced baboon did.The findings may impact how we understand the formation of c ulture in societies through social learning. If some individuals ar e unable to get information from others because they don’t asso ciate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not trave l between all group members, preventing the formation of a cult ure based on social learning.66. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The design of Dr. Carter’s research.B. The results of Dr. Carter’s research.C. The purpose of Dr. Carter’s research.D. The significance of Dr. Carter’s research.67. According to the research, which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task?A. Those that have more experience.B. Those that can avoid potential risks.C. Those that like to work independently.D. Those that feel anxious about learning.68. Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragra ph 4?A. Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.B. Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.C. Some baboons observe others but don’t follow them.D. Some baboons perform new tasks but don’t concentrate.69. Dr. Carter’s findings indicate that our culture might be formed through ______.A. storing informationB. learning from each otherC. understanding different peopleD. travelling between social groups(B).CityCabA Member of COMFORT DELGROComfortable airport & city transfers:MaxiCab (seats 6 passengers)Booking Hotline: +65 6542 8297… or book at the Airport Shuttle counter at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2MaxiCab Service RatesTransfer to Airport/other de$35stinationHourly Service (per hour –$35minimum 2 hours)Applicable additional charges:-- Between midnight to 6 am, an additional $12 per transfer or p er hour-- For en-route stop to final destination, an additional $5 per stopapply otherwise $20-- Administrative charges of 10% of total fare for all Credit Card paymentsPersonalized tours:Cabby tour highlightsTour 1: Lifestyle Experieurist guides approved by theSingapore Tourism BoardExclusive private tours in 6-seater MaxiCabs, 4-nd normal cabsFlexible pick-up times and locationsions and restaurants upon requestTours start from just $105 per vehicle Bookings call: +65 6542 5831 or +65 6542 8297.sg70.

But here’s the problem: I’m cheap, and the iPad’s not. If I’m going t o fork over at least $499 for a new device, I want to try it out an d make sure it’s not just a larger, shinier version of my iPhone.But if I went to my local Apple Store, I’d get to spend only a few minutes testing out the machine. I wanted more time than that, so I rented one for $15 a day from a guy on SnapGoods.The Internet start-up in Brooklyn runs on simple reasoning: there are people who want to borrow stuff – camping equipment, food processors, rob ot vacuums, etc. – and there are people who have stuff they wa nt to lend. SnapGoods helps these two groups connect over the Web. SnapGoods is one of many sites that have sprung up to f acilitate offline sharing. Some sites have a narrow, obvious focu s (like ) while others are more obscure (N eighborhood Fruit helps people share what’s growing in their ya rds or find fruit trees on public land). But regardless of whether t he sharing is free or involves a fee, these transactions often co me with a stick-it-to-the-man attitude. “Borrow these things from your neighbors,” reads one earnest request on , “The owner-ship has SAILED!”All of these sites are encouraging something academics call col laborative consumption – in other words, peer-to-peer sharing or renting. Renting something you don’t need to us e very often makes a lot more sense than buying it and letting itcollect dust in your garage. There’s a green aspect as well, sin ce sharing helps cut down on overall use of resources. But one of collaborative consumption’s most surprising benefits turns ou t to be social. In an era when families are scattered around the country and we may not know the people down the street from us, sharing things – even with strangers we’ve just met online –allows us to make meaningful connections.“This isn’t just about saving the environment or saving a dollar,” says SnapGoods CEO Ron Williams, who came up with the id ea after renting a stranger’s motorcycle via Craigslist. “This is a bout saving yourself by making informed consumer decisions.”I’m not sure if I got a thrill when I borrowed Goodwin’s iPad, but it did feel good to make a connection.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Ambitious “go getters” (people energetic and eager to succeed) earn more money throughout their lives – but the “price” is that they have poorer health and die younger. They are also not mu ch happier than less ambitious people.A new study tracked 717 high achievers who attended universiti es such as , Harvard and Yale, as well as high ability individual s who di dn’t attend universities. The researchers assume that hi ghly ambitious people may devote so much time to their jobs th at they neglect areas of life proven to help people live long, hap py life.The study focused on people born in the first half of the 20th ce ntury, and tracked them to the end of their lives. “Ambitious kids had higher educational attainment, attended highly esteemed u niversities, worked in more prestigious (有声望的) occupations, and earned more,” says Timothy Judge, profes sor of management at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business.“So, it would seem that they are prepared to ‘have it all.’ Howev er, we determined that ambition has a much weaker effect on lif e satisfaction and actually a slightly negative impact on longevit y (how long people lived).“So, yes, ambitious people do achieve more successful careers, but that doesn’t seem to translate into leading happier or healt hier lives.” Judge used a complex formula to judge ambition at every stage of life – and to divide high-ability individuals into “ambitious” and “less ambitious” groups. “If ambition has its positive effects, and in terms of career succe ss it certainly seems that it does, our study also suggests that it carries with it some cost,” Prof Judge says.“Despite their many accomplishments, ambitious people are onl y slightly happier than their less-ambitious counterparts, and they actually live somewhat shorter lives.”“Perhaps the investments they make in their careers come at th e expense of the things we know affect longevity: healthy behav iors, stable relationships and deep social networks.”“If your biggest wish for your children is that they lead happy an d healthy lives, you might not want to overemphasize professio nal success. There are limits to what our ambitions bring us – or our children.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS)78. According to the passage, ambitious people have greater e arning power in their life, but at the cost of their ___________. 79.

AAt least 3 people are dead in the Philippines now that Typhoon Hagupit has landed．The typhoon，which hit the eastern Philippines over the weekend，has blown down trees and sent more than 650-thousand people into shelters before weakening．“There were very strong winds last night．The roof was beginning to move，and rain was getting inside the room，”said a villager．The storm hit with gusts（强凤）of over 100- miles per hour．And while the storm has slowed considerably，from the Super Typhoon level it had last week，Hagupit still remains strong enough to create more damage．Christopher Perez is a local weather forecaster．“we are continuing to expect bad weather and rough ocean waves．Threats of possible flash floods and landslides（泥石流）as well as possible storm waves occurring in coastal areas．”Hagupit is expected to roll into the South China Sea tomorrow．It‟s currently going a westward toward the southern tip of Vietnam，meaning it's unlikely to affect China．Hagupit‟s strength in the Philippines is much less severe than Ty phoon Haiyan，which rolled through the country last year．Haiyan‟s tsunami-like storm waves and killer winds left thousands of people dead and leveled entire villages．The central Philippines is still trying to recover from last year‟s massive storm．21．It can be inferred from the passage that the Typhoon Hagupit is_______．A．getting stronger B．weakeningC．going to affect China soon D．more destructive than Haiyan 22．The under lined part “leveled entire villages”probably means______．A．destroyed all the buildings in the villagesB．were of the same sea level as the villagesC．killed all the villagers in the villagesD．blown down all the trees in the villages23．Which of the following suffered most when Haiyan rolled over?A．The eastern Philippines．B．The southern tip of Vietnam．C．The South China Sea．D．The central Philippines．24．What do we know about Haiyan from the news?A．It caused less severe damage than Hagupit．B．It also rolled over Vietnam and China．C．It brought about a lot of deaths．D．It damaged the roofs of all the houses．BFriendly doctors are “bad for their patients‟health”，researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like．Blurring（使…模糊）the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects．“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook，they should not hug or allow patients to call them b y their first names”．regulators have warned．“Those who break the boundaries will face some punishment．”It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists（肿瘤科医生）under the age of 40，found 59 per cent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they liked．Sixty per cent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients，it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person‟s care．Lesley Fallowfield，of Brighton and Sussex Medical Schoo1．said：“Oncology is a profession that can be enormously rewarding but is filled with many challenges．Young oncologists have to master dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life-threatening disease；conveying the true prognosis（预后）；discussing the complexity of modern treatments；and explaining the unavailability of some drugs，the side-effects of treatment，and likely treatment aims．”But she said，“Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of the …Internet world‟ are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional bo undaries with patients．She said：“The difficulty，if you hug and kiss patients，if you allow them to call you by your first name，is that quickly the relationship can become confused as a social one rather than a professional one．Doctors become confused，…I re ally like this person，how can I bear to tell them that they‟re going to die?‟ They find it more difficult to be objective．”25．Why are fiends，doctors bad for their patients‟health?A．They don‟t like to cheat patients．B．They are not good at treating patients．C．They find it not easier to be objective to the patients．D．They seldom blur the relationship with patients．26．What should doctors do according to the regulations?A．Add patients as friends on Facebook．B．Have close connection with patients in life．C．Always be cold to patients．D．Keep a proper distance to patients．27．Which opinion will Lesley Fallowfield agree with?A．Oncology is a rewarding profession without challenges．B．The Internet makes it easier for young doctors to break the boundaries．C．It‟s not the duty of doctors to deal with patients‟anxiety．D．Becoming friends with patients will help them recover soon．28．Young oncologists will face the following challenges except_____________．A．dealing with a lot of life-threatening diseasesB．discussing difficulties of treatment with patientsC．explaining the reason for the lack of some medicineD．informing patients of the possible results of the treatmentCWhile most teenagers were studying to get into a top university，one 19-year-old was starring in his first movie，Blue Gate Crossing．It was a film about love on campus and it was well received in Taiwan．Many say it was this film that put Bolin Chen in position for his later glittering career in show business．In fact．it was not until he played a troubled young man in the movie Buddha Mountain three years ago that he regained his passion for acting．While being called a “youth idol” may seem like a compliment，it is a title that Chen has tried to shake off．He believes that “a youth ido l means you simply rely on your appearance，not your acting talent”．The most important thing for Chen now is to take more initiative（主动性）as an actor．“To me，an actor is like a chess piece，waiting for producers and directors to put him somewhere they want him to be．”Chen，29，told NetEase．“But I want to be the game player．”He even took his ambition a step further，setting tip his own production company．But just when Chen started to locus on off-screen work，his life on screen took another turn．He won the title of Best Leading Actor at the 2012 Golden Bell Awards on Oct 26 for his role in hit TV drama In Time with You．When asked why he accepted the part，which is another “youth idol”role．he told Yangcheng Evening News：“I played it for my grandfather．He tells everyone around that I am an actor．but I used to play in movies，not TV series．Now he is in the hospital．I hope that he can watch my performances by simply turning on the TV．”Chen is a veteran（老手）in the entertainment world，but unlike many stars，he hasn‟t led a luxurious（奢华的）life．He doesn‟t even have a car but walks，rides a bike or takes a taxi whenever he goes out．He doesn‟t have a house，either．“Everyone will eventually find some place to live anyway，why bother to buy property （地产）?”he asked Taiwan magazine Business Today．29．What does Bolin Chen think of his title“youth idol”?A．He likes it very much．B．He thinks it a compliment．C．He wants to get rid of it．D．He is not worthy of it．30．Bolin Chen‟s words in Para 4 suggest that he______．A．1ikes to play games such as chessB．wants to take an active part in producing his filmsC．cannot get along well with some directorsD．thinks producers are more important in making a film31．Bolin Chen played a part in the TV drama In Time with You because he_____．A．failed in off-screen workB．had become a“youth idol”C．wanted to delight his grandfatherD．wanted to succeed in the new field32．The main idea of the last paragraph is that Bolin Chen____．A．is a veteran in the entertainment worldB．hasn‟t made much money from his workC．doesn‟t like the entertainment worldD．prefers a different lifestyle from most starsDWhether it is Mozart or Miley，your choice of music could determine whether you will perform well al your work．A new study suggests that listening to music in the office improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry，proof reading and problem solving．In an office-based experiment，88 pet cent of participants were found to produce their most accurate work when listening to music．The study also found that 81 per cent completed their fastest work when music was played．And it matters what type of music you listen to．For instance，if you‟re doing your tax returns，then classical music is the most effective as it improves maths skills．Listening to Jessie J or Justin Bieber could also improve your speed，with 58 per cent of participants completing data entry tasks faster while listening to pop songs．During proof-reading，dance music，such as David Guetta，had the biggest positive impact with participants increasing their speed by 20 per cent compared to tests undertaken with no music at a11．Dance music also had a positive effect on spell-checking with a 75 per cent pass rate compared to 68 percent when no music was played al a11．The research，undertaken by Brighton-based Mindlab International，suggests that silent offices may be the least productive．“The music experiment showed that when listening to music，nine out of 10 people performed better，”said Dr．David Lewis．Chairman of Mindlab International．“Proper music enables people to quickly process and keep information，regulate their behaviors，make good choices，solve problems，plan and adjust to changing mental demands，”a senior investigator of Mindlab International explains．“While many schools a re cutting music programs and spending more and more time on test preparation，our findings suggest that musical training may actually help to set up children for a better academic future．”added D r．David Lewis．33．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The positive relationship between music and efficiency．B．The speed and accuracy of problem-solving tasks．C．The comparison of different kinds of music．D．The experiment on productivity of office staff．34．According to the passage，we can conclude that______．A．different kinds of music lead to the same effectB．silent offices can make people perform betterC．listening to proper music can improve efficiency in officeD．more tests prepare children for a better academic future35．What is the author‟s a ttitude towards school music programs?A．Respectful．B．Doubtful．C．Tolerant．D．Supportive．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。
