三、阅读理解

阅读下面三篇短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

Every morning, millions of people in China do Tai-chi. It is

popular with women and men. Tai-chi is a good kind of exercise

for old people. It is good for the body and for the mind. It is

healthy and relaxing. Tai-chi is from China. It is hundreds of

years old. Tai-chi is a "soft" martial art（武术）.That means it is slow and calm.

There are also "hard" martial arts. Shaolin Kung-fu, for example, which has a history of over 1,500 years, is a "hard" martial art. It is fast and dangerous. You have to be very fit and strong to do "hard" martial arts.

In Beijing, Master Li Yu is teaching Shaolin Kung-fu to thirty young students, three of whom come from abroad. "Shaolin Kung-fu is difficult," said Li Yu. "You must practise every move many times."

Sports like football and basketball are also popular in China. But martial arts like Tai-chi and Kung-fu are part of Chinese culture and history.

31. How many types of martial arts does this passage tell us?

A. Only one. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

32. What is Master Li Yu teaching?

【解析】这篇短文给我们介绍了太极和少林功夫两种武术形式，太极属于“软”武术，而少林功夫属于“硬”功夫，他们都是中国历史和文化的一部分。

31. 细节理解题。根据短文中Tai-chi is a "soft" martial art、Shaolin Kung-fu, for example, which has a history of over 1,500 years, is a "hard" martial art.可知，这篇短文中提到了太极和少林功夫两种武术形式，故应选B。

32. 细节理解题。根据短文第三段中In Beijing, Master Li Yu is teaching Shaolin Kung-fu to thirty young students, three of whom come from abroad.可知，李宇是教少林功夫的，故应选B。

33. 推理判断题。根据短文中It is hundreds of years old.以及Shaolin Kung-fu, for example, which has a history of over 1,500 years, is a "hard" martial art.可知，太极有几百年的历史，而少林功夫的历史有1500多年，因此太极的历史比少林功夫短，故C是正确的。根据"Shaolin Kung-fu is difficult," said Li Yu.可知A不对；根据It is popular with women and men.可知B不对；根据Tai-chi is a "soft" martial art 以及You have to be very fit and strong to do "hard" martial arts.可知D不对。

点睛：这篇短文给我们介绍了太极和少林功夫两种武术形式，太极属于“软”武术，而少林功夫属于“硬”功夫，他们都是中国历史和文化的一部分。短文内容比较容易理解，后面的题目设置以细节理解题为主，考查的是文章细节信息的理解。做题时，应根据题目所问，在短文中搜索有用信息作答。例如第3小题，这个题目是判断题，但其实我们也是从文章细节信息中寻找线索来判断，因此四个选项我们都要从文章中找到信息来印证他们是对是错。根据短文第一段It is hundreds of years old.以及第三段中Shaolin Kung-fu, for example, which has a history of over 1,500 years, is a "hard" martial art.可知，太极有几百年的历史，而少林功夫的历史有1500多年，因此太极的历史比少林功夫短，故C是正确的。其他三个选项也可以在短文中找到依据判断他们是错误的。

B

Martina looked out of the window. A robin was singing a lively song in the tree. At this time, Grandpa, who lived with the family since Grandma had died, came in. He looked at the floor as if looking for something. He said, "When the robin sings..." he stopped, trying to remember what he had started to say.

"Spring is here," Mum finished the sentence. "And I'm thinking of our spring cleaning," Mum suggested. "Martina, you can help me, right?" Martina agreed unwillingly.

They cleaned the house. They cleaned upstairs, downstairs, inside, outside, until everything was clean. Then Mum pointed to Grandpa's sofa and shouted. "That old sofa has got to go. We'll buy Grandpa a new one."

It was true and Martina had to agree. The sofa was really old. As they tried to move the sofa, Grandpa stood in their way. "You can't take my sofa," he shouted.

"It's old," Mum said. Grandpa tried to push his sofa back into place. "We'll buy you a new one," Mum promised.

"I don't want a new one," Grandpa insisted. Mum let go of the sofa. "We'll talk about it tonight when John gets home." John, Martina's dad, was still at work.

"Why don't you let us take away the sofa? It's too old!"Martina asked when the family were having supper. Grandpa shook his head and said, "I sat in this sofa, with your grandma right here, when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago, but when I sit in this sofa and close my eyes I feel she is near."

"It's amazing," Martina thought, "how Grandpa can remember things from the past. These days he forgets almost everything."

The old man smiled to Martina and went on. "And the night your father was born, I sat in this sofa. I was nervous when they placed the little baby into my arms."

"I think I'm beginning to understand," Martina said. "Many years later," Grandpa continued, "I sat in this sofa when the doctor called and told me that your grandma was ill. I was lost without her, but the sofa gave me the comfort."

"I do see now," Martina looked at Grandpa. "This is not just an old sofa. This sofa is more like a friend." "Yes," Grandpa added. "We've got through a lot together." The whole family agreed that the living room would be boring without the old sofa.

34. What is a robin?

A. A bird. B. A cat. C. A fish. D. A worm.

35. What was Grandpa like these days?

A. Careless. B. Impatient. C. Organized. D. Forgetful.

36. Who was "the little baby" in Paragraph 9?

A. Martina. B. Martina's dad. C. Martina's mum. D. Martina's uncle.

37. What's the best title for this passage?

A. Martina's wish B. A spring cleaning C. A happy family D. The old sofa

【答案】34. A 35. D 36. B 37. D

【解析】Martina的家里有爷爷的一个旧的沙发，她和她的妈妈在打扫卫生的时候想把它扔掉，再买个新的。但是Martina的爷爷不同意，因为这个旧沙发里有他最美好的回忆。

34. 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在的句子A robin was singing a lively song in the tree.可知，robin是一个名词，它在树上唱歌，因此我们可以猜到robin指的是一种鸟。故选A。cat猫；fish鱼；worm虫子。他们不在树上或者不会唱歌。

35. 细节理解题。根据短文中"It's amazing," Martina thought, "how Grandpa can remember things from the past. These days he forgets almost everything."可知，Martina的爷爷最近总是忘事，因此他是forgetful 健忘的。选D。

36. 细节理解题。根据短文中The old man smiled to Martina and went on. "And the night your father was born, I sat in this sofa. I was nervous when they placed the little baby into my arms."可知，这里Martina的爷爷在告诉她，她的爸爸出生时候的事情，因此这个小婴儿指的就是Martina的爸爸。故选B。

37. 主旨大意题。这个故事讲述了Martina爷爷的沙发，虽然它很旧了，但是它却承载着Martina爷爷的很多回忆。全文都是围绕这个沙发来讲述的，而且沙发对于爷爷有着不寻常的意义，故用The old sofa作为题目是最好的，选D。

点睛：这篇短文是一则记叙文，讲述了Martina爷爷的沙发的故事。文章内容比较容易理解，后面的题目设置有细节理解、词义猜测和主旨大意题。第1小题是一个猜词题，我们必须要将这个单词置于文章的具体语境中，根据它所在的这句话A robin was singing a lively song in the tree.可知，robin是一个名词指代一种事物，而且它会在树上唱歌，在选项中只有bird鸟是合适的。再如第4小题，题目要求选择最恰当的题目，文章的标题应该是能反映文章的中心思想或者概括文章大意，或者是文章的中心词。这篇短文的关键词就是Martina爷爷的沙发，它虽然很旧，但是它里面有Martina爷爷的很多回忆。故D选项最能体现文章的中心。

【解析】这篇短文是Becky写给Scott的一封信，他们两个是邻居，Becky沿着他们两家之间的篱笆种了一些苹果树，但是Scott先生的两个孩子总是毁坏苹果树，所以她写信告诉Scott先生，希望他能处理一下。

38. 主旨大意题。这篇短文是Becky Aldrin写给Scott先生的一封信，根据信中But to tell you the truth, Mr Scott, I am tired of seeing your children, day after day, destroy the branches of every one of my apple trees. …Besides, I am more tired of waking up on these fine autumn mornings to find even the apples on MY side of the fence much less in number. I know this too is the work of your children可知，她是在向Scott先生抱怨，因为Scott先生家的孩子毁坏了她的苹果树，还偷她的苹果。因此这些一封抱怨信，故选A。

39. 推理判断题。根据短文中And it is quite legal（合法的）for them to show that interest by picking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence.可知，现在苹果树上已经结苹果了，因此应该是秋季。故选C。

40. 细节理解题。根据短文的最后since last night I was woken at midnight by the noise they were making when climbing one of my trees可知，昨天晚上，Scott先生家的两个孩子爬上了Becky Aldrin的一棵苹果树，由此可知应选D。

41. 推理判断题。从Becky写的这封信中的一些文字，如I expect you may be slightly surprised to receive a letter from your next-door neighbor, but I have to …、It is only natural that…、And it is quite legal…、But to tell you the truth, Mr Scott, I am tired of…等等，我们可以看到她写信的语气是很委婉、有礼貌的，但同时她也严肃地提出了这个问题，故应选A，有礼貌但严肃的。B是惊奇的但开心的；C是生气的、粗鲁的；D是累的、不感兴趣的。

42. 推理判断题。这封信中Becky向Scott先生抱怨了他的孩子们的所作所为，她的目的应该是希望Scott先生能和他的孩子好好的谈一谈，不要再去破坏她的苹果树了。故应选C。

点睛：这篇短文是Becky写给Scott的一封信，他们两个是邻居，Becky沿着他们两家之间的篱笆种了一些苹果树，但是Scott先生的两个孩子总是毁坏苹果树，所以她写信告诉Scott先生，希望他能处理一下。文章内容贴近学生的日常生活，比较容易理解。对于这篇短文和题目来说，理解文意是次之，而最主要的是学生们在阅读的时候，能够读出作者的写作意图以及她的写作语气。后面的题目也考查了这一点，例如第4小题，问的就是Becky在写信时的感受，根据文意可知，虽然在信中Becky向Scott先生抱怨了他的孩子的不好的行为，但整篇文章Becky的语气都是很委婉的，如开头的这句话I expect you may be slightly surprised to receive a letter from your next-door neighbor, but I have to…以及文章中It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest. And it is quite legal（合法的）for them to show that interest by picking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence.这两句话站在对方的角度想问题，这些语言都让我们能够看出Becky是很礼貌、很认真的讲述问题，故应选A。

四、词语运用

选用方框内的单词或词组填空，其中有一个单词或词组是多余的。

Miss whatever after all never balance for free

43. If you are lucky enough, you will get a concert ticket ________．

44. Mary, I shall________our pleasant talks when you leave.

45. As an old saying goes, "He who has____been to the Great Wall is not a true man."

46. When Tom was running after the dog, he lost his________and fell over.

47. You can eat________you like, my dear.

【答案】43. for free

44. miss 45. never

46. balance

47. whatever

【解析】

43. 句意：如果你足够幸运，你将会免费地得到一张音乐会的票。for free免费地，是一个固定短语。根据句意If you are lucky enough可知，幸运就是免费得到票，故填for free。

44. 句意：Mary，当你离开的时候，我会怀念我们愉快的谈话的。miss怀念，想念， 是一个动词。根据句意..when you leave可知，Mary要离开了，所以这里应该是会怀念…的，空前shall表示将来，后面跟动词原形，故填miss。

45. 句意：就像一句谚语所说的：不到长城非好汉。never从不，从来没有，是一个否定副词。根据句意not a true man可知，这里也应表达否定的意思，故填never。

46. 句意：当Tom追逐小狗的时候，他失去了平衡，摔倒了。balance平衡，是一个名词。根据句意…and fell over可知，Tom失去了平衡，所以摔倒了。故填balance。

47. 句意：亲爱的，你喜欢吃什么就吃什么。whatever无论什么，在句中引导一个宾语从句，并在从句中作宾语。

点睛：这个题目是选择适当的词或者短语来完成句子，考查词汇在具体情境中的使用。做题时，应首先浏览所给单词或短语，弄清楚他们的意思，然后根据句意选择合适的单词，并根据单词在句中的作用、句中使用的句型等，填写单词适当的形式。例如第2小题，根据句意..when you leave可知，Mary要离开了，所以这里应表达一种怀念之情，用单词miss，它的意思是“想念，怀念”，而空前的shall后应跟动词原形，故这里直接填miss。再如第4小题，句中fell over是对我们做题的一个提示，Tom应是失去了平衡，所以摔倒了，因此这里应填balance，名词，意思是“平衡”。

根据句子意思，用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空。（每空限填一个单词）

48. My cousin is good at_________（dance).

49. Their house is just like our house, but_________（we) has a bigger balcony.

50. Yuan Longping is one of the_________（great) people that have ever lived, I think.

51. I bought the computer_________（simple) because it was cheap.

52. I need________（silent) when I am studying.

【答案】48. dancing

49. ours 50. greatest

51. simply 52. silence

【解析】

48. 句意：我的表妹擅长舞蹈。dance跳舞，是一个动词。这句话中使用了短语be good at…擅长…，后面跟名词或者动名词形式作宾语，因此这里应填dancing。

49. 句意：他们的房子就像我们的房子，但是我们的有更大的阳台。we我们，是人称代词主格形式。根据句意可知，这个空代指的是“我们的房子”，因此这里应用名词性物主代词在句中作主语。ours我们的，名词性物主代词，相当于our house。

50. 句意：我认为袁隆平是史上最伟大的人之一。great伟大的，是一个形容词。这句话中使用了句型one of the +形容词最高级+名词复数，表示“最…的之一”，因此这里应填形容词的最高级形式greatest。

51. 句意：我买了这台电脑仅仅是因为它便宜。simple简单的，是一个形容词。根据句子结构可知，这个空是来修饰后面because引导的原因状语从句的，应用副词形式，故填simply。

52. 句意：当我学习的时候我需要安静。silent沉默的，无声的，是一个形容词。空前need是一个动词，这里应用名词形式来作它的宾语。silence名词，沉默，安静。

点睛：这个题目是用所给单词的正确形式填空，考查学生们在具体语境中使用单词的能力。做题时，应根据句意、单词在句中的作用以及句中使用的句型等，变化单词的正确形式。这一题型常考查的知识点有：名词的单复数、动词的时态、语态、主谓一致、非谓语动词、形容词和副词的词性转换以及他们的比较级和最高级等。例如第1小题，考查了动名词作宾语的用法，这句话中的短语be good at后应跟名词或者动名词形式，dance是动词，因此变为动名词dancing。再如第4小题考查了形容词和副词的词性转换，形容词在句中的主要作用是作表语、定语或宾语补足语；副词常在句中作状语，修饰动词、形容词或者句子。这句话中填的词是来修饰后面的原因状语从句的，应用副词形式，故把simple变为副词simply。

C）用括号中所给动词的正确形式填空，使短文完整。

Donnie Darko is a fantastic film. It's a dark comedy, which is sometimes funny and sometimes frightening.

The film_____53_____ (set) in an American town. One night, Donnie Darko, who is a teenager, meets a frightening man_____54_____ (dress) as a rabbit.

【答案】53. is set

54. dressed

55. to end 56. was

57. has won

58. includes

【解析】这篇短文给我们介绍了一部电影《死亡幻觉》，文章中介绍了这部电影的主要内容、它的导演、获奖情况以及影片中的音乐等。

53. 句意：这部电影是以美国的一个小镇为背景的。这里考查的是短语be set in…以…为背景。根据句意可知，这句话陈述的是一个客观事实，因此应用一般现在时态，故填is set。

54. 句意：一天晚上，青少年Donnie Darko遇到了一个打扮成兔子的可怕的男人。dress穿着，是一个动词。be dressed as是一个固定短语，打扮成…。根据句子结构可知，这个空是作后置定语，修饰前面的名词man，故直接用过去分词dressed。

55. 句意：当一架飞机冲进了Donnie的房子的时候，他救了Donnie，并告诉了他在26天之后毁灭地球的计划。end结束，终结，是一个动词。空前plan是一个名词，空后的这个短语应该是后置定语，修饰名词plan，并且表示将来，故填动词不定式to end。

56. 句意：《死亡幻觉》是由Richard Kelly编写并导演的，他在创作这部电影的时候才25岁。这个空需要填be动词的形式，根据句子结构可知，这里是由who引导的一个非限制性定语从句，这里需要填谓语动词的形式，根据句中的时态Donnie Darko was written and directed可知，这里应用一般过去时，填过去式was。

57. 句意：到目前为止这部电影获得了很多奖，但是没有获得奥斯卡奖。win赢，赢得，是一个动词。根据句意和句中的so far可知，这句话应用现在完成时态have /has+过去分词，主语It是单数，故填has won。

58. 句意：音乐真的很好，而且它包括了20世纪80年代的一些流行歌曲。include包括，是一个动词。根据句子结构可知，这里是and连接的并列句，这个空应填谓语动词，前半句是一般现在时态，这里也应用一般现在时，主语it是单数，故谓语动词填三单形式includes。

点睛：这篇短文给我们介绍了一部电影《死亡幻觉》，短文内容比较容易理解。题型是用所给单词的正确形式填空。做题时，应先通读全文，掌握大意；然后根据单词在句中的作用以及句中使用的句型等，填写单词的适当形式。例如第1小题，所给单词是set，动词，设置，而这里其实考查的是一个固定短语be set in…以…为背景，根据句意可知，这句话说的是客观事实，应用一般现在时态，主语The film是单数，故be动词用is。再如第5小题，所给单词win是动词，在句中作谓语，谓语动词的考查常涉及的是时态、语态、主谓一致等，这句话中的so far意思是“到目前为止”，常和现在完成时态搭配，主语It是单数，故这里填has won。

五、阅读填词

阅读短文，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。

You may think that English dictionaries have been used for many, many centuries. The spelling of English has always been a problem, but it was more of a problem in the days before a dictionary. In those days people spelt words in different ways which you might find interesting. But it made reading English much more difficult. So dictionaries were invented to encourage everybody to spell the same. In fact, an English dictionary like the kind you use today wasn't made until the time of the Qing Dynasty.

The largest dictionary in the world is the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED for short. The idea for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor of its new dictionary.

Murray had not been to college. At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. Later he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a place built in the garden behind his house to do his work. Part of it was one metre underground. In winter he had to wear a heavy coat and put his feet in a box to keep warm. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o'clock and worked several hours before breakfast. Often he would work by candle light into the evening.

Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was still adding words for the letter A! Then others went to work with Murray, and his two daughters were among them. He worked on the dictionary until he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1928, other editors finished it. It had more than 15,000 words in twelve books. And you thought your English dictionary was big!

【答案】59. bank

60. 1879 61. conditions/environments/situations

62. behind 63. longer/more

64. joined/helped/supported

65. words 66. largest/biggest

67. spell 68. job/task/duty

【解析】英语词典到20世纪的时候才出现，在此之前，人们的拼写方式都是不一样的，这就给阅读造成了很大的困难。后来牛津大学让James Murray编写一本字典，Murray花费了很长的时间，在其他的人的帮助下，最终在1928年牛津词典终于完成了。

59. 根据短文第三段中Murray had not been to college. At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank.可知，Murray14岁的时候离开了学校，去一家银行工作。由此可知这里填bank，银行。

60. 根据短文第二段中The idea for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor of its new dictionary.可知，在1857年，英国的一次重要会议上产生了一个想法编写一部牛津字典，22年之后，Murray成为了这部字典的主编，也就是1879年。故填1879.

61. 根据文意和表格中下面的内容可知，这里介绍的是Murray艰苦的生活条件，故这里应填conditions条件；或者situations状况，情境；或者environments环境。

62. 根据短文第三段中After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a place built in the garden behind his house to do his work.可知，Murray在他房子后面的花园里就建了一个地方来工作。由此可知这里填behind。

63. 根据短文最后一段中Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years…. He worked on the dictionary until he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1928, other editors finished it.可知，Murray原本希望十年后能够完成这本字典，但是没有，他一直工作到很老，而且是在44年之后，另外一些编辑才把它完成的。由此可知这里应填longer更长的；或者more更多的（时间）。

64. 根据短文最后一段中Then others went to work with Murray, and his two daughters were among them.可知，在Murray编写词典的过程中，其他人也和他一起工作，包括他的两个女儿。由此可知这里可以填joined，加入；或者helped帮助；或者supported支持。

65. 根据短文最后一段中It had more than 15,000 words in twelve books.可知，这本词典在12本书里有超过15,000个单词。由此可知这里填words。

66. 根据短文第二段中The largest dictionary in the world is the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED for short.可知，牛津词典是世界上最大的词典。故这里填largest或者biggest。

67. 根据短文第一段中In those days people spelt words in different ways which you might find interesting. But it made reading English much more difficult. So dictionaries were invented to encourage everybody to spell the same.可知，有了字典，人们的拼写方式就都一样了。由此可知这里应填spell，拼写。

68. 根据文意After Oxford gave him the job, Murray可知，牛津大学让Murray编写一本字典，这是给他的一个工作。但对于Murray来说，这不仅是一个工作，也是一段精彩的旅程。因此这里应填job或者task或duty。
