W：You can ask someone that could switch hours with you．Maybe just switch a couple of evenings since the course proably only meets two times a week．

M：I wish I could．My boss just did me a favour by putting me on evenings．And he’ll hit the ceiling if I ask to change again．

W：Wait a minute．I have an idea．Have you checked the course over at the community college?They might offer an introductory course during the day．

M：That’s a great idea．I’m free this afternoon．I’n go over and check it out．

M：Thanks for your advice．I’ll let you know what happens．

第二部分 知识运用（共两节, 满分45分）

第一节 单项填空（共15小题;每小题1分，共15分）

从每题所给A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

21．—Do you have Mary’s address?

—Sorry, I don’t have it ______ me at present．

A．to B．on C．for D．from

答案:B

解析:考查固定短语。“have sth on sb(某人身上有什么)”，根据语境：你有玛利的地址吗?抱歉，目前我身上没有带。所以答案选B。

22．Mike seldom asks ______ questions in class, but today he raised ______ fairly good one．

A．/; a B．the; a C．/; the D．/; /

答案:A

解析:考查冠词的用法。根据语境：迈克从不在课堂上问问题，但是今天他提了一个很好的问题。第一空是泛指的概念，所以什么也不填，第二空是类别，指“一个很好的问题”，所以填不定冠词“a”，所以答案选A。

23．—Hi, David, I heard you had an accident this morning．

—Yes．Luckily, I hit the brakes in time ______ I would be injured badly．

A．and B．but C．or D．so

答案:C

解析:考查连词的用法。根据语境：大卫，听说你今天上午遭遇了一场交通事故。是的，幸运的是我及时刹住了车，否则的话我会严重受伤的。所以答案选C。

24．You really need to go out and get some fresh air and sunshine．You ______ overworked during the last two weeks．

A．have been B．were C．had been D．would be

答案:A

解析:考查动词的时态。“during the last two weeks(在最近两个星期)”是现在完成时的一个标志。

25．They went on well at first but eventually everything ______ they had worried about happened．

A．which B．what C．that D．when

答案:C

解析:考查定语从句的用法。因为先行词是“everything”，所以关系代词用“that”而不用“which”，所以答案选C。

26．—Can I ask you a few straightforward questions about yourself？

—No problem．I like ______ when people are open and direct．

A．that B．this C．it D．them

答案:C

解析:考查“it”的用法。“I like it when…”属于固定句型。

27．The conference aims to develop business and let people think about ______ they can have a positive influence on the planet．

A．why B．that C．what D．how

【答案】D

解析:考查介宾从句的用法。根据语境，这个会议的目的是发展商业以及让人们考虑他们如何能够对这个星球有积极的影响。从句缺少的是关系副词“如何”，所以A项，B项和C项都不正确。

28．Ann ______ here any more．She left last month．

A．won’t work B．doesn’t work C．hasn’t worked D．isn’t working

答案:B

解析:考查动词的时态。根据语境：Ann不在这里工作了，她是上个月离开的。说的是目前的情况，所以用一般现在时。

29．_____ the chapter four times, I finally understood the author’s theory．

A．Reading B．Having read C．To read D．Read

答案:B

解析:考查非谓语动词的用法。根据语境：直到把这章读了四次，最后我才理解作者的理论。先“读”再“理解”，“读”的动作发生在“理解”之前，所以用非渭语动词的完成时。

30．They live on a busy road．There ______ be a lot of noise from the traffic．

A．must B．may C．would D．could

答案:A

解析:考查情态动词的用法。根据语境：他们住在繁忙的道路上，一定有来自于交通工具的噪音。所以答案选A。

31．Once again he failed to hand in his homework _____ he had been given enough time to do it．

A．in case B．as though C．so that D．even though

答案:D

解析:考查连词的用法。根据语境：即使已经给了他足够的时间做作业，他还是没有交他的作业。所以答案选D。

32．If your order is ready, the T-shirt ______ to you as soon as possible．

A．has delivered B．is delivered C．will deliver D．will be delivered

答案:D

解析:考查时态。根据句意“这件T恤会尽可能快地送给你。”所以时态用将来时，又因为是“被送”，所以答案选D。

33．I’d like to have ______ car．The one I have got keeps breaking down．

A．a reliable B．a more reliable C．a most reliable D．the most reliable

答案:B

解析:考查比较级的用法。根据语境：我想要一辆更可靠的轿车，我原来的那辆不停地出故障。

34．It’s always better to tell the truth．Lies have a bad habit of _________ you!

A．catching up with B．calling on C．taking care of D．looking for

答案:A

解析:考查动词短语的用法。根据句意撒谎是一个坏习惯，也就是说一旦你养成了撒谎的坏习惯，它就会经常伴随你。所以A项“伴随”正确，其他都不符合语境。

35．The Hotel Al Arab ______ the first and only 7-star hotel in the world was designed in the shape of a sail of 321 meters.

A．was considered B．considering C．being considered D．considered

答案:D

解析:考查非谓语动词的用法。“considered the first and only 7-star hotel in the world”作“the Hotel AL Arab”的后置定语。

One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist at a children’s institution in England, an adolescent boy showed up in the waiting room. I went out there where he was 36 up and down restlessly.

Tim wore a black raincoat that was 37 all the way up to his neck. His face was pale, and he stared at his feet while wringing （扭） his hands nervously. He had 38 his father as a baby, and had lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But the year before he turned 13, his grandfather and mother were killed in a car accident.

I looked at Tim. He was very 39 and depressed （in low spirits）. He refused to talk to me. The first two times we 40 , Tim only sat hunched up （蜷缩） in the chair without saying a word. As he was about to leave after the second visit, I put my hand on his shoulder. He didn’t 41 back, but he didn’t look at me either.

“Come back next week, if you like,” I said. I 42 a bit. Then I said, “I know it hurts.”

He came, and I __43_ we play chess. He nodded. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon—in 44 and without making any eye contact. It’s not easy for me to __45__ in chess, but I admit that I made sure Tim won once or twice.

Usually, he arrived earlier, took the chessboard and pieces and set them up before I even got a（n） 46 to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my 47 . But why did he 48 look at me?

“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his 49 with,” I thought.

One afternoon, Tim took off his raincoat and put it on the back of the chair. While he was setting up the chess pieces, his face seemed more 50 and his motions more lively.

Some months later, I sat staring at Tim’s head, 51 he was bent over the chessboard. I was thinking about how little we knew about the healing （治疗） process. 52 , he looked up at me. “It’s your 53 ,” he said.

After that day, Tim started talking.

Maybe I gave Tim something, but I learned a lot from him. He showed me how one-without any words—can 54 out to another person. All it 55 is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, a sympathetic nature—and an ear that listens.

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每题2分，共40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

When it comes to intelligence, human beings are the top dogs of the animal kingdom. But in recent years, scientists have been documenting surprising intelligence and emotional depth in animals ranging from honeybees to elephants. Here are some amazing examples.

Artistic Monkey Business

Janet Schmid, director of the Little River Zoo in Norman, Oklahoma, learned a lot about the intelligence of capuchin monkeys. She and her husband adopted a young male, named Bailey. The capuchin particularly liked taking car rides, insisting that he insert the key and ride in the front passenger’s seat.

Now Bailey has become a devoted painter. He uses brushes to create colorful, abstract paintings, and prefers not to be disturbed.

Prairie Dog Sound

Through a variety of birdlike sounds, prairie dogs warn each other of approaching creatures. They demonstrate a surprisingly complex communication system. In his 25 years of study, Slobodchikoff, a professor of biology, has recorded them pronouncing ten nouns including hawk, deer and coyote, a number of adjectives to identify color, size and shape, and even some verbs to indicate speed.

In an ongoing study, Slobodchikoff learns that their brain contains a very extensive vocabulary. He once used his best prairie dog sound to say coyote, and they just looked at him in anger as if he had said a bad word.

One African grey parrot Alex is said to have the cognitive abilities of a five-year-old child. Alex can identify 50 different objects, seven colors, five shapes, quantities up to six, and the concepts of bigger, smaller, same and different.

Also Alex is considered to make reasoned decisions. During an experiment, researchers gave Alex different-colored blocks in sets of two, three and six. When asked which color group had five blocks, Alex replied, “None.”And he answered the same in repeated tests. Obviously, he interpreted the concept of “none” as an absence of quantity all on his own. That’s a lot like a high school student answering questions on a quiz show.

56．Which of the following is true?

A．Bailey is as clever as a child of five.

B．The prairie dog loves taking car rides.

C．The capuchin monkey is fond of painting.

D．Alex develops a communication system.

57．The underlined word “coyote” in Paragraph 4 refers to .

A．a verb B．an animal C．a warning D．an adjective

58．The African grey parrot Alex can .

A．answer questions on a quiz show B．understand the figure “7”

C．identify five colors and seven shapes D．apply the concept of “none” correctly

59．What is the passage mainly about?

A．Animal communication． B．Animal research．

C．Animal intelligence． D．Animal information．

【文章大意】提到智力，人类是动物王国中的佼佼者，或者我们是这样告诉自己的。新的研究表明：猴子可以进行艺术创作，鹦鹉可以有五岁孩子的能力，动物智力王国有更多“佼佼者”。

56．答案:C

解析:细节判断题。根据第三段第一句话“Now Bailey has become a devoted painter．”可知这个猴子喜欢画画。所以答案选C。

57．答案:B

解析:词义猜测题。根据“…hawk，deer and coyote…．”，因为说的是“鹰，鹿和……”，可推测“coyote”是一种动物。所以A项“一个动词”；C项“一个警告”；D项一个形容词”，都不正确。

58．【答案】D

解析:文章细节问题。根据最后一段“Obviously，he interpreted the concept of ‘None’.”可知答案选D。

59．答案:C

解析:文章主旨大意题。本文主要讲到动物王国的智力“佼佼者”。

B

When someone gives you advice, listen without judgment, try to find value in what you’re hearing, and say: “Thank you”. This wise advice is easy to understand yet hard to practice. I’ll give you an example from my life when I totally blew it in terms of practicing what I teach.

In my work I travel constantly. I always put off going to the airport until the last second. My wife, Lyda, was sitting next to me in the front seat. I was racing along and not paying much attention. Lyda cried out!” Look out! There is a red light up ahead. ”

Being a trained behavioral science professional—who teaches others the value of encouraging advice—I naturally screamed at her: “I know there is a red light up ahead! Don’t you think I can see?” When we arrived at the airport, Lyda didn’t speak to me. I wondered why she seemed mad at me.

During the flight to New York, I did a cost-benefit analysis. I asked myself: “What was the cost of just listening when Lyda called out the warning? Zero.” I then reasoned: “What was the potential benefit? What could have been saved?” Several potential benefits came to mind, including her life, my life, and the lives of other people.

I landed in New York feeling ashamed of myself. I immediately called Lyda and told her my cost-benefit story. I convinced her: “The next time you help me with my driving, I am just going to say, ‘Thank you.’”

A few months passed, and I had long forgotten the incident. Again, I was racing off to the airport, when Lyda cried out: “Look out for the red light!” I was embarrassed, and then shouted: “Thank you!”

I’m a long way from perfect, but I’m getting better. My suggestion is that you get in the habit of asking the important people in your life how you can do things better. And be ready for an answer. Some people may tell you things like “Look out for the red light.” When this happens, remember that there is possibly some potential benefit. Then just say: “Thank you.”

60．What do we know about the author?

A．He is expert at behavioral science. B．He is gifted in cost-benefit analysis.

C．He seldom takes his wife’s advice. D．He often runs the red traffic light.

61．The underlined part “blew it” in Paragraph 1 probably means “ ”. A．became annoyed with the adviser B．forgot the practical method

C．failed to say “Thank you” D．lost personal judgment

62．It can be inferred from the passage that people . A．tend to be defensive when given advice B．intend to follow others’ suggestions

C．had better study behavioral science D．should give their opinions patiently

63．The purpose of the passage is to advise people to .

A．do a cost-benefit analysis in daily life B．treasure others’ suggestions

C．learn from the author’s experiences D．discover potential benefits

【文章大意】在生活中，当别人给你提出忠告时，你会本能地防御而不接受，通过作者的亲身经历，作者建议要养成这样的习惯，向生活中重要的人咨询怎样才能把事情做得更好，并虚心等待对方的答复。当听到建议的话时，深吸一口气，问问自己：“听听这样的话有什么不好?”记住，这些话很可能让你受益呢。

60．答案:A

解析:细节问题。根据第三段第一句话可知我是一位训练有素的行为科学专家。所以答案选A。

61．答案:C

解析:词义猜测题。根据上下文，当有人给你建议的时候，静静地听，不要作评判，试着从听到的话中找出有价值的东西，并说：“谢谢”，这条忠告知易而行难，我要讲讲我生活中有人给我好的建议的时候我不说“谢谢”的例子。所以答案选C。

62．答案:A

解析:推理判断题。根据第二段和第三段，当他的妻子对他说红灯的时候，他自然地对她大声吼叫“我知道前面有红灯，难道你认为我看不见吗?”可推断出答案选A。

63．答案:B

Last week, we explained that the planet Mars has passed “opposition.”It passed a point opposite the Sun. This week, we tell about the planet’s surprising motion(运动)among the stars.

For thousands of years, people have recognized that planets travel among the stars. The planets generally follow the path taken by the Sun through the sky. The Sun’s path is called the ecliptic. The groups of stars along the ecliptic are called the Zodiac.

The motion of the planets can be confusing at times. Everyone knows the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. But this is caused by the turning motion of the Earth. Planets generally move from west to east.

However, Mars will appear to move backward for about two months this year. This happens because the Earth is overtaking Mars on its way around the Sun. Mars began its backward, or westward, motion on May 11th, It will start moving eastward again on July 19th.

Mars’ apparent motion has been a mystery to astronomers for hundreds of years. Most early theories of the solar system argued that the Sun and planets turned around the Earth. But the sudden westward motion of Mars presented a problem. Why would Mars move west for two months when it nears “opposition”?

In 1543, a Polish church worker named Nicolas Copernicus published a different theory. His theory said the Earth and planets moved around the Sun in perfectly circular orbits. Copernicus’ theory was simpler. But his Sun – centered system still did not explain the observed motion of Mars very well.

Finally, a German mathematician named Johannes Kepler published a complete theory of the motion of the planets in 1619. He had carefully studied the motion of Mars for many years.

Johannes Kepler discovered that the planets do not move in circular orbits around the sun. Instead, they travel in flattened orbits called ellipses. Mars’ elliptical orbit is the cause of its unusual brightening this year and its apparent large size.

During the next several weeks, you can see for yourself why the mysterious motion of Mars has caused so many people to wonder.

Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.

Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!

Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man . It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded brief-case as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.

I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.

69．How does the author feel about the ant?

A．He admired its attitude toward work.

D．He was content to have it as a companion.

C．make his way home D．stay in the valley

71．We can learn from the passage that the author .

“Image is everything.” An entire industry has been built upon the precondition that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough. If there is no substance behind the image, the product, service or person will fail at length.

First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services. Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection. Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies. But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back. For example , the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness. But the recent scandal (丑闻) showed that behind that image, it had dishonest business practices. Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit. Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm.

Similarly, personal consultants can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars. Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace (体面) like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close.

To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling" of a person. But image is only half of the equation. What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself—the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success.

72．The downfall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due to ______.

A．its dishonesty in business B．its previous images

C．its bad management D．its poor service

73．Why did some famous people fall from grace?

A．Their images were not well built up.

B．They failed to live up to their images.

C．They felt much pressure from the public.

D．They paid little attention to fame and fortune.

74． The structure of the passage is .

75．The author tries to argue that______.

A．image creates everything

B．image is the key to success

C．truth goes hand in hand with image

D．truth and image are equally important

【文章大意】文章开篇点题：形象就是一切，事实也是非常重要。接着举出了一些例子来论证，最后得出结论，形象对于成功来说非常的重要，不管是对于一个产品还是对于一个公众形象的人，但是隐藏在形象背后竹事实也是同等重要的。

In an English speech competition, you are asked to describe the following picture and explain to the judges how you understand it.

【答案】

【写作指导】

看到图画中一块一块的砖垒成了大半个圆，不难发现命题人的良苦用心在于告诫人们成功的每一步都要细心、谨慎。当然，构思过程中不能仅仅局限于描述图画中的内容，还要发表自己的看法。

One possible version

In the picture，we can see a circle of bricks standing next to each other．The first brick on the right is falling down，causing the falling of the next one．In the end，the whole circle wilt be ruined．

The picture conveys a message that the success of a project depends on each individual step．When each individual step is given full attention，it is quite likely that the whole project will be a success． In the same way，a mistake in one step may lead to a complete failure of the whole project，as is shown in the picture.So each individual step can make the difference between success and failure．

We should try our best every step of the way．

综评：本套试卷的命题形式和命题原则与高考试题完全一致。单项选择突出了高考的重点，强调了对时态、动词、动词短语和非谓语动词的考查。如24题，28题，29题，32题，34题和35题。完形填空在一定意义上讲，已经突破了考试范围，更侧重人生价值观念的提升。阅读理解体裁多样。作文和日常生活息息相关，让学生有话可写。本套试卷的难度略高于高考，适合在高考前三轮复习时做适应性模拟时使用。
