I. Listening Comprehension?(略)

II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20分)

Section A??(10分)

Directions:?After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

My first habit was developed in Junior 2 when I took part in a New Concept English Reciting Competition. During my whole summer vacation, I locked myself in at home, (14) __________ (sit) in front of my desk and trying to recite every word of even the less appealing articles in the New Concept English textbook. I forced myself not to think?about my classmates who (15) __________ (enjoy) time out from their busy school lives, but instead to focus on the competition.

It was never easy for such a young child to resist all the temptation and still concentrate. Being distracted?was unavoidable, and there were indeed a few times when I?thought about giving up. But I persuaded myself not to do it. All I knew was that I had to finish the job I (16) __________ (promise) myself I would do. I had to finish the 96 articles to prove to myself that I was anything but a coward. I still insist (17) __________ this habit. Before the contest, I didn’t quite understand what?benefits reciting these 96 articles might bring me. While I was trying my best to recite, (18) __________ never occurred to me that those efforts I made at that?time (19) __________ (become) the foundation of my improvements in the near future. When I finally came to realize (20) __________ I had actually brought to me, the surprise and joy I felt were greater than I (21) __________ have imagined.

【答案】

14. sitting 15. were enjoying ???? 16. had promised ???? 17. on ????

18. it 19. would become 20. what? 21. could

【解析】

14. 考查非謂語動詞，sitting和and后面的trying并列都是現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語。

15. 考查謂語動詞，根據(jù)上下文句意可判斷是過去的一段時間正在發(fā)生的動作，所以用過去進行時。

16. 考查謂語動詞時態(tài)。I ________(promise) myself I would do是做the job的后置定語，是定語從句，所以promise是謂語，再由主句時態(tài)是過去式可判斷promise這個動作是過去的過去發(fā)生的，所以用過去完成式。

17. 考查動詞和介詞搭配，insist on 是固定搭配，意為“堅持，強調(diào)”。

18. 考查it作形式主語，it never occurred to sb.是固定句型，表示某人從未想到…。

19. 考查謂語動詞，這一題容易誤以為是非謂語，但become是that引導的主語從句的謂語動詞，從句的主語是those efforts，由主句的謂語動詞可判斷從句是過去相關的時態(tài)，再由從句中in the near future可判斷這里用過去將來時。

20. 考查賓語從句連接詞，空格后是句子，空格前是及物動詞，從而可判斷這里是考查賓語從句連接詞，再由brought缺少賓語，所以填what。

21. 考查情態(tài)動詞，根據(jù)句意表示“我感受到了比我本能夠想象的更強大的驚喜和快樂”，虛擬語氣，表示本能夠做某事而實際上沒有做，填could。

?

Section B ?(10分)

Directions: Complete the passage with the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Imagine that you’re caught in a downpour and with nowhere to hide. What’s the best thing to do? Italian expert Professor Franco Bocci has finally answered the age-old question of the best strategy if you are caught in a downpour. He claims that in most (22)_____, the best strategy is to run as fast as possible.“In general, the best thing is to run, as fast as you can—not always, but in general,” he said.

?Besides, Franco Bocci believes that both wind direction and a person’s body (23)_____ have to be taken into account. He claims that thin people are more (24)_____ to stay dry at lower speeds. “If you’re really thin, it’s more probable that there will be an optimal (最佳的) speed. Otherwise, it’s better to run fast.”

The problem of (25)_____ an optimal strategy for moving in the rain has attracted considerable (26)_____ among physicists and other scientists. In the 1970s, a number of papers came out in mathematics magazines (27)_____ the question. In 1987, another Italian researcher asserted (主張) that changing strategies did not make a real (28)_____ to how wet you get. In the latest research, in 2011, a textile expert and a physicist suggested that an optimal speed (29)_____, depending on the wind direction.

However, Professor Bocci believes that previous attempts to solve the problem simplified it too much. “For the most part in the previous work, there was a simple answer, but I found that the problem is much more (30)_____,” Professor Bocci said, believing that body shape and wind direction play a big part in how wet you get—and if the wind is behind you, the optimal speed will be (31)_____ the speed of the wind.

?

【答案】22-26 DBEIJ ?27-31 CKFGH

【解析】

22.考查固定詞組。In most cases，在大多數(shù)情況下，故選D。

23.考查名詞。根據(jù)文中定冠詞a，可知應該選填名詞。又因為后文中出現(xiàn)過的Professor Bocci said, believing that body shape...，故選B。

24. 考查形容詞詞組。此處在be動詞后，又被more修飾，所以用形容詞，又因為固定詞組，be likely to do，有可能做某事，故選E。

25.考查名詞。Of后應該加名詞或者動名詞，又因為選項后接了賓語，所以填動名詞，根據(jù)句意，關于選擇一個最佳的戰(zhàn)略的問題，故選I。

26.考查固定詞組。Attract considerable attention，吸引了廣泛的注意力，故選J。

27.考查非謂語。本句話已經(jīng)有了謂語動詞came out，因此此處只能選擇非謂語，根據(jù)句意大量文章在數(shù)學雜志中出現(xiàn)討論了這個問題，debating辯論，討論，故選C。

28.考查固定搭配。此處判斷出應填名詞，又因為固定搭配make a difference，產(chǎn)生出差別，故選K。

29.考查動詞。此處an optimal speed為主語，選項后是一個非謂語，可知空格處缺少一個謂語動詞，又因為賓語從句前的動詞為過去式，此處填動詞ed形式。根據(jù)句意，應該填F。

30.考查形容詞。很明顯看到much more 后應該填一個形容詞，又因為前文有一個but表示轉折，因此根據(jù)句意問題變得更加困難，complicated困難的，故選G。

31.考察副詞。此處可以填起強調(diào)語氣的副詞，句意是最佳的速度將確切地是風的速度，故選H。

【參考范文】

An Unforgettable Person

On the path of pursuing knowledge,interest,love and passion, numerous people we have encountered may have a lifelong impact on us, and even contribute to shaping who we are. Looking back on my life, the most unforgettable person is my English teacher from senior high school, who is truly a mentor.

There are times when you meet with difficulties or find it hard to make a choice. It is the time when the advice of others is of great value.

At the end of Senior Two, I had to make a decision whether to major in arts or science. Being good at science subjects, I intended to choose physics as my major. However, my best friend Lily chose geography, saying there would be more chances for us to be admitted into a key university because of relatively fewer examines in this subject. Then I was at a loss which to choose.

Seeing I was hesitant, my English teacher had a talk with me. She suggested that I should choose according to my own interest and ability, regardless of others’ thoughts. she told me my interest will inspire me to tap my potential fully and my ability will give me more confidence to overcome difficulties.

With my teacher’s help, I firmly chose physics and Lily, finally understood me and respected my choice. In the future, as my learning continues, I will have opportunities to meet more teachers. Whereas, never will I forget the assistance from my English teacher and her guidance to make sensible decisions.
